THE ELECTIONS
The New Y DIRK TINES SUMMA-
RY OF THE RESULT.

New York, Oct. 9.-The
New York Times sums up the
results of the elections, as
follows
In Ohio the returns, thus
far received. show large Re-
publican gains, and render it
certain the Republicans have
undoubtedly elected probably
IL of the 20 Congress men.
Indiana has gone Democrat
ic on the State ticket by
about the same majority as
in 1876. The Indiana con-
gressional delegation will
probably stand 6 Republicans,
S Democrats, and S districts
IN doubt.
From Iowa the largest
vote ever polled is reported:
and the Republican majority
is large. Two Democratic
congressman elected.
In West Virginia, in the
third district, the contest be-
tween Democrats and Green
back candidates canpot be de-
cided by the present returns.

September 29th 1878.
Gentlemen of, the Police, doing Quar-
antine duty around Jackson Lousi-
ana
was very much surprised and shock
ed, when my attention was called to a
short notice that appeared in the Wood
vile Republican 21st inst, of the treat
nent experienced Ivy Il lady and her
three daughters near Jackson La. Pre-
Stunning it referred to our family, hasten
to express my Indignation that such a
misstatement should have been made.
On reaching the picket post near the
town, we were Of course halted. After
hearing that we had not been exposed to
yellow fever, Capt. Dudley, who by a
happy chance was on the spot, made
several trips into town to represent the
case to the Mayor and get permission for
us to pass through.
While as guards on duty, they could
not let us pass, still as gentlemen and
friends they did every thing to cheer us,
and make the detention as pleasant as
possible. Meanwhile discussing various
routes by which, in case of necessity, we
might pass around the town; finally it
was decided that we had better do so.
One of the gentlemen then proposed to be
onr guide, another offered his horse and
without further mishap we were safely
let to the public road, two miles east of
Jackson. The only return we made for
this very great kindness, was our sincere
and grateful thanks. mo Dick Turpins'
Oh the road made us stand and deliver
We met only the Good Samaritans.'
Again let me express my sorrow that
anything so false should have grown out
of what was SO tender and kind, so noble
and true.
With great respect.

the Masons. We over whelmed our tradu-
GERS and libelers by thigh tho & character
of onr testimony, we proved that what
violence.existed in our Parish was not
duo to politics, but had its origin in 9TH
er causes. That the campaign was pea
ceble, quiet and orderly, and the election
day particularly quiet and orderly, intact
not q disturbance any where Of the most
trifling sort, nor, after satisfying all the
world, at home and abroad, friend and
foe, that we are a quiet, orderly, law
abiding and just people, it becomes us
to sustain this high character by our
future conduct.
In this campaign we have no division
of party, except on local and tritling ques-
tions. There will be two sets of candi.
dates put before the people for the local
offices in our parish, it is true, but all
profess to be Democrats, and OF course
stand upon the broad, well established
and we'll known platform of the Demo-
cratic party of Louisiana. Our conyen-
ton in 1876 proc lainled the principles
upon which the party, then styled the
to the campaign, ana upon uliUeo- p.'"ui-
pies we triumphed before the people.
When our State convention assembled in
August last, it re-adopted and reiterated
the same principles, only adding few
other planks to their platform to meet
new issues since springing upon our peo
pie. Among other principles our party
has proclaimed, is an acceptance of all
amendments to our constitution-freely
fully and honestly. We have pledged
| ourselves to grant equal civil and politi
cal rights to all men entitled to them by
the constitution of the United States ant
by our State convection We made these
pledg in 1876 most solemnly by adopting
the platform of our party, made for us q
Baton Rouge. These pledges We re-iter
ated by our public speakers upon ever!
occasion where they spoke, from Gov
Nichols down to tho lowest and numb
lest man who addressed a ward club. Tn
public men Of our party: i'll congress ant
everywhere, have re-affirmed and re-itera
ted these pledges and promises. Th
Democratic press throughout our Stat
]
the same pledges and promises made b.
our party and it's followers, from til
highest in position and Office to the hum
blest private individual. Of course, IL
men of our party propose now to evad
: or repudiate these pledges and promises
so solemnly made and so loudly proclaim
ed. If few such men are found, the
l will be read out of the DemocraticCoi
