The state Election.
IN. %. Democrats

Our late election is beginning
to clear np-sto nuke itself fully
understood. There was something
confusing at hrstIinthe figures that
rolled in on election night. The
immense impurities, the unali-
NOUS Democratic vote gwen by
the parishes of North Louisiana,
were confusipg-almost iincompre-
hepsihile;lit was scarcely possible
to fully understand til. greatn ass

the last tUnngress by five Demo

close. This year, our entire dele

ttf these Congressmen elected Ivy
Increased majurities. Both of our
city representatives have, ut least,
5000 MAJORITY; the Third District
shows un absolute Democratic
MINORITY Of 1000 and a plurality of
5000. But the Fourth and Fifth
Districts are those OF which Louis
lana can Indeed a,eproud. Never
has suehnpoiiti,all revolutionibeen
known. The Red River country
lis nearly unanimously Democratic,
while the Fifth District, lately
Republican, will show a Danncra-
tic majority tf ut least 1000, u gain
of nearly 5000.
The most important point, how
ever, in the fight is the Legisla-
tnre. How has the demand for a
reform and honest Legislature

on these amendments intelligsntly.
When the late Rsturning Board
attempted to cHuvass the vote on
the amendments submitted to the
people In 1876, they were utterly
,confoundea; it was impossible 10
see what the people meant, or how
they intended to vote. The board
| finally declared that it was impos-
sil,le to cnunt the vote Oh the
amendments. and the vnte was
n+.eer counted or promulgated.
While there is 10 reason to doubt
tb,ft the amendments are defeated
this year by Is lurge m1loraty, the
vote thereon will clearly show the
absurdity of submitting u score OF
constitutional smrndments to the
people in The midst of al excl Iug

The Roads of Ireland.

The public roads of Ireland are abso- lutely perfect. Go where you will through the rural districts, and the roads are thoroughly turnpiked, thor oughly drained, and as level as board. The bridges over the creeks and rivers are all of stone. Every road has side walk for foot passengers, elevated about six inches over the main road, and from four to six feet wide. The fences on either side are of solid stone masonry, to the height of from four to six feet, upon the top of which are growing hedges oi hawthorn or furze, or grass and wall flowers. The walls enclosing the roads are festooned with ivy and wild flowers, producing a charming effect. Every country seat is thus hedged in !" from the outside world. There is no getting over the barrier, and access can only be had through the lodge gates, which are in charge of the lodge keeper, generally 8 woman, who admits only favored few. The constabulary are always or hand to arrest trespassers. "Tramps have poor show in Ireland. They must keep to the roads-or go to jail.
