About twelve o'clock yesterday Messrs.
d. f. Jonas, j. B. McGeehee and H. C.
Young, members of the Democratic caucus
meeting at st. Patrick's Hall. visited Score
tsry of State DeslOnde at his office, in the
State HouI Q, and asked to be put in posse 8.
sion of the returns of the late election on
file in his office.
Mr.. Detlonde received the gentlemen with
his customary urbanity, but informed them
that if they represented body claiming to
be Legislature, but meeting away from
the place provided by law, he could not
accord them any official recognition. On
the other hand, if they Belonged to the
regularly constituted Legislature he could
only inform them that the papers in ques-
ton had already been placed in the hands
OF the Speaker of that body, who alone,
under the constitution OF the State, was
authorized to receive them.
The gentlemen then took their hats and
their departure, feeling, doubtless, that
another blow had been struck at down
trodden Louisiana.

War Indiana.

A special election was held in Indiana on
Tuesday, week since, to fill a vacancy in
the State Senate caused by the death of the
former Incumbent. The district in which
the election was held has heretofore been
Democratic, and in view of the fact that
the political control of the Senate depended
upon the result, unusual efforts were made
by the Democrats to elect their candidate.
The election of the Democratic candidate
would have made the Senate Democratic
by one majority, while the election of the
Republican candidate makes it Republican
by one majority. The district is composed
of the counties of Madison and Delaware.
Madison, at the presidential election in No
vember, gave Tlden over 800 majority,
while on Tuesday last it gave Doxy, the Re-
publican candidate, 100 majority, thus SO.
curing his election. Madison is one Of the
counties in which the "war talk" has pre-
vailed, and in which the Democrats have
been making threats of violence should
Tilden not be inaugurated. This election
seems TO show that public sentiment ia
against such revolutionary mutterings, and
that the people of even Democratic oommu.
mites have no sympathy with those Demo
cratic leaders who are cOunseling opposition
to legal forms in the final settlement of the
pending presidential complications.

A Very Much mixed Up statement.

Mr.. j. II. COsgrove, of Natchitoches, has
recently been held up to us by the Demo.
cratic organ here as the great authority on
matters pertaining to his town, from whom
no sort of appeal could properly be taken.
We pointed out on Sunday morning one or
two weak points in his testimony, ana have
since discovered more. We quote a para
graph full of inaccuracies:
The suh.cOngressiOnal committee, of
which Mr.. Meade is chairman, closed its in
vestigations here last night, after two DAYS
session in this place. The testimony taken
was full and complete, all the leading Rad
icals-even the most bitter-testifying to
the peacefulness and quiet of the election,
and swearing that there was not even the
semblsnoe of intimidation. Boultt. Radical
candidate for parish Judge; Simmons.
Radical mayor; Breda, Radical Oandi.
date for district Judge: Tunnard, Bar.
low and all the Radical leaders swear to
this. Their testimony is corrOborated by
that of hundreds of witnesses. both white
and black.
Among other glaring errors in the above
are the following:
Boultt was the Republican candidate for
sheriff, not parish judge.
Simmons was the candidate for parish
Judge, not mayor.
Breda, the candidate for district Judge,
left Natchitoches for New Orleans on the
fourteenth of November, and arrived here
on the twenty He has been here
ever since, and consequently could not have
testified before Mr.. Meade's sub.committe
How many other mistakes Mr.. Coseroye
has made in his short dispatch we can NOT
say at present. But he falls into the error
of confounding the behavior of the Demo-
Gratis, just previous to the election, of which
complaints have been made, with that on
the day of the election, of which we have
heard none. Our information, derived from
residents of N Natchitoehes, is that all the dam
age that it was possible to accomplish was
done pending the canvass, and the seventh Of
November was characterized by sudden
good behavior.

peaoe, have been murdered because they

peace, have been murdered because they
were Republioansl
The Republicans will continue to remind
the Democrats of these thugs. The Repub-
licans want TO see peace; they want to see
the South prosperous; but what they are
working for now is to protect men who
have the right to vote from being murdered.
When such outrsges cease there will be no
more trouble over the Southern States than
there is over States in the East or in the
West.
The present system, under which pension
claims are established by er parte sffiiavits,
generally framed by claimants attorney or
persons unknown to the office, or by a GER
tiioate from claimants medical practitioner,
constitutes, in the opinion of Commissioner
Bentley, of the Pension Office, a temptation
to unduly favor the claimant. He lie, there
fore, urging plan prepared by him to
take the place of the present system, which
provides for the establishment of pension
districts over the country, of sizs in pro-
portion to the territory and population, as
that one surgeon may be able, by
devoting his whole time to the duties,
t. make all the medical examinations
in any district which the pension laws
| might require. Appoint as many surgeons
as there are districts. Each surgeon to be
ordered ffom plscs to plscs within his dis
tric', and to bs subjected to change from
one district to another if the emergency
arises. competent clerk to act in c)n
Junction with esch surgeon and the two to
constitute a commission on behalf CT the
government to make the required medic A
examination, and to receive formal testi
mony ordered in its support; the claiman
and his principal witnesses to appear befort
the c1mmissiOn and submit themselves t.
erOss-exarlination on behalf of the Govern
ment. A material witness in another dis
trics can give testimony before a commits
sion in that district and forward it to th'
commission having the case in hand.
The whole case is to be transmitted t,
the Office here for final settlement. Whel
applications are made for pension to tn
office here, copies of the record from tn
adjntant generals and surgeon general
offices can be transmitted to the commits
siOners where the claimant resides. Unde
this plan the commissioner thinks tn
claimant has it in his own hands by hi
prOmptness in complying with the office re
quirements and by his diligence in furnish
ing his testimony to the commission, t
secure speedy settlement of his claim, an,
avoiding all annoying delays. If the pla
is adopted, the commissioner says the Who'll
force of pension examining surgeons ma
be dismissed. 1t will most completely pre-
= vide for the necessary special investigation
for which considerable appropriations ar
annually made, and will cut eft not les
than thirty-three and half per cent of tn

, adopting this plan will be $37 ,647 06 pc
