Gov. Seymour Of New York recent

not mean to lie. He spoke at random.
Did he know that ''two-thirds of all

vertised this year to be sold for the
non-payment of taxes!" Was such a
thing ever heard of beforea Did he
know that 1.-THE failures in every
western city in 1873 will exceed the
failures OF every other year in the
history OF the Republic!' Was such
thing ever heard OF before! Did he
know that the assessed valuation of
every western town which has not
been kept up by immigration has
very mnch diminished! Was such a
thing ever heard Of before! Does
not every one know that the financial
policy OF the Republican party has
made the west us we'll as the east
poor, and that every one who votes
the Republican ticket endorses that
policy and all it's evils!

gratitied to find you are candidate for

Although a former Republican, !
think the party has Outlived its use

nothing but corruption to the selfish
greed Of capital, it is time it was re.
tired to oblivion before it's very name
GLORIOUS as it has been) shall stink.
The very fact that you will lind it
hard to beat Washburn, is only the
strongest evidence that you ought to;
because it shows the slavish corrup
ton of party, ard the corrupting
influences of money. think though
you will give him Il pretty close run,
l should be glad, when you have
any documents to scatter over the
District bearing particularly on the
Labor and Currency questions, you
would do me the favor to send few
to my address, and ] will pass them
round. Very truly yours.

THE AbsurAity of HEeberts CONTEST
lDonaidsnn Chief.1


The Nrw Orleans Obaerper declares ttlht
mr Hehert, has uuauestionable grounds upon
-sh;ch to contest the election OF Congress-
man AokIen from this district the basis of
this allegation being the fact that number
IF ballots were rejected by commissioners OF
electI0n In several parishes, because they
were not printed in the manner directed by
law. The Obs@'per says that the aggregate
of the votes thus thrown out will reach 250e
and assumes that all were cast for Mr. He
bert. Both of these assumptions, we believe,
nation has reached us, through the press or
otherwise. to warrant the conclusion that
$500 ballots, or any number at all ap.
Droyimating $500, were thrown out; and
no far as the 800 rejected In Ascension arc con-
earned we are quite certain all were not
pOlled for Mr.. Hebert. Furthermore, even ii
the estimate and conclusion OF the ObseTuer
were correct, and all the votes thrown out
were counted for Mr.. Hebert, he would still
petitor. Mr. Acklen. We should regret to see
Mr.. Hebert start out on such wild goose
chase fs o. contest for n seat in Congress from
this district would unIoubtly prove to be.
He has already been made the victim OF q
deliberate conspiracy, engineered by Federal
officials In the New Orleans Custom-House
and leading Republicans OF the Teche re-
gion, by which his defeat was fOreOrdained,
and an attempt to oust Mr.. Acklen will only
be to invite further discontinue ana incur
useless expense. We believe the future has
its COMMUNICATIONS for Mr.. Hebert, and tho
shabby treatment he has received this year
will give him prestige with the fair-dealing
men Of his party that will doubtless work to
his advantage hereafter He Is In more en-
viable position to-day than the conspirator 6
who defeated him.
