THE TOWN ELECTION.

The regular Democratic township
ticket was elected last Monday, including
all the ring nominees. 1t was elected
by methods both disgraceful and, in our
opinion, illegal. The same disgracefnl
tactics were employed last fall, but not,
perhaps, to such marked extent. We
took no notice of it at that time, think
ing that, i'm the excitement of prolonged
and warmly contested political canvass,
and over-zealous for party success, mdl-
vidual members of the party had COM
mitted indiscretions which would not
have been countenanced under other cir
cumstances. When. however. alta town.
ship election, the opponents of the same
ring employ the same disgraceful
methods, evidently by some preconcen-
trated arrangements, and thereby thwart
the real will of the people of the town
who have an interest in honest and eco
nomical government, we think it is time
that some notice was taken of it, and
such proceedings brough. to public at
tentiOn.
Men were led up to the polls in such
a condition of inebriation that they hat
to lean against some support to keeT
their balance, men who have not a cent
interest i'm the welfare of the town; mel
who are here to-day and there to-mor
row, and, under the leadership and in
structions of members of the ring, swor
their votes i'm. There were men brough
in by these same men, who had been re
fused registration by the Registration
Board, and the election board instructe'
that their duty was to admit the votes
While, on the other hand, men who ha,
had aresidence here for years, were in
Inundated and kept from voting b.
threats of the same ring men, because
was suspected that such votes would b
against them. To such an extent wa
this manner of doing business carried OF
that the better class of the Democrat
party, whom the ring endeavo
to rule, were Disguised, an
speak out openly agains
it. Such proceedings as were seen at tn
polls last Monday are disgrace to on
town. and we trust that there are enoug
good citizens Of all parties in this plac
who will join together and prevent az
such occurrences i'm the future. just S
long as such things are countenancet
just so long will they exist. Just so lon
rs selfish men can control the offices b
such means, and no remonstrance
against it, just so long will these
tees continue. The elections of a
should be controlled by bona-fde
dents. That is plainly the INTENT
the law. The bona ide residents q
township of Benton. last Monday
ally had very little, if any, voice
matter. Foreigners, whose residel
very questionable to say the least
came to the polls under the leade
of these ring men and swore in

candidates on whom there was n

THE Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton has appointed as visitors to the Uni
versity. Rev. DIR. Samuel Graves. of
Grand Rapids, DR.. D. o. Farrand. of De-
trOit, and Chas. w. Clisbee, of Cassopolis.
The visitors to the Normal school are
Samuel johnson, of Dowagiac, Thos. B.
Woodwork, of Caseville, and Austin
George, of Kalamazoo. Messrs. John
son and Woodwork are Representatives
in the present Legislature.
1T looked, at first, as if Brigham Young
were proved by the testimony of the
document found among the papers of
Judge Titus to be directly responsible
tor the Mountain Meadow massacre by
giving orders to perpetrate it. But
further investigation goes to show that
it was another massacre Of eighty team
sters which he ordered. and that Young
is responsible for two atrociOus crimes
instead of one; to one of which he was
an accessory, and in the other princi
pal.

H Owing to a multiplicity
OF causes, we were unable to be
present at the Conventions, held
in Shreveport, on the 10th and
18th inst. This we regretted ex-
ceedingly, for we are heartily in
favor Of the measures there pro-
posed, and were anxious to learn
the opinions as to their practical
bility, from the large number of
intelligent gentlemen, assem-
bled there from the various Sec
tons of the country.

H We devote much of our
available space, this week, to
the proceedings of the two i'm
tportant Conventions, lately in
session at Shreveport. Railroad
facilities and an increased pop
nlation are all that is needed to
develop the wonderful resources
OF our naturally favored section;
and the truly representative
bodies whose proceedings we
report, give evidence that these
matters are being thoroughly
discussed throughout North
Louisiana. But tits not merely
discussions, conventions, resoly-
es and charters that we want
There must be earnest, united
efforts on the part of the people.
Every one should contribe all
that in him lies to carry out the
resolves, and put into effect the
charters. Money must be spent;
labor. both mental and physical,
must be endured; and, above all,
perfect harmony among the peo-
pie.
We ask our readers to study
the importance of the measures
proposed at Shreveport, and then
take steps to carry them into
effect.

the road, beg leave to report
that, upon careful investigation
we are OF the opinion there has
not been a legal and valid cleo
ton OF directors and officers of
said company, but, waving that
objection and defects in the
charter itself, we to day went
before the directors thereof in
open session and requested the
passage of a resolution opening
the books of subscription to
stock in said company until the
next annual election Of directors
to be held On the 29th inst, and
that those who may subscribe.
be permitted on that day to par
tlcipate in said election. To
this just and equitable request,
we were answered in the follow
ing resolutions:
Resolved, That a call of the
full amount of stock be made on
each stakeholder, to be paid
within ten days.
Resolved further, That the
books of the company be open
ed provided fifty thousand dol
lars be subscribed, and that sub
scriptions be received from all
parties who desire to subscribe.
All stock subscribed to be paid
In cash at time of subscription.
Believing as we do, that it
would be unjust to ask the peo-
pie to submit to such conditions
as are imposed in said resolu-
lions, and further believing that
1t would be impossible to organ
lie any systematic effort to build
said road trameled by such res
olutlons, therefore recommend
that the citizens of North Loui-
slana, do now proceed, or as
early as practicable, to organize
a company under the general
laws of the State for the pur-
pose OF maintaining and operat-
ing a railroad from Shreveport
to Monroe, or if deemed advisa-
BILE, to a point opposite Vicks-
ourg' on the Mississippi river,

that 1t was not worth while to
