1t should be borne in mind that the
Louisiana Returning Beard have not
been indicted or prosecuted for falsify-
ing the returns of the Presidential cleo
tion. The people of that State voted for
State officers at the same time they voted
for Presidential Electors. 1t was for
destroying the true returns and forging
false ones for State officers that Wells,
Anderson and Company have been in
dicted. Louisiana has the same right
to punish the criminals for forgery and
perjury that the people of any other
State have, while it is the duty OF the
courts in that State to see that the laws
are not wantonly violated. The Federal
Government has no more authority to
prevent a State criminal from going to
the penitentiary from New Orleans than
it has to prevent a beg thief in East
Tennessee from being sent to prison and
rendered Infamous under the State law
of Tennessee.

A boon-an honor-like to this,
Enthuses me with sweetest bliss.
Oh, happiness without an end,
To have those stocking heels to mend
Oh, bliss eternall to devote
Ny youthful hours to patch that coatI
No dreamy thought, no impulse rash,
should hinder me to cook his hash.

And ask the Fates to kindly send,
A little more than should need,
To buy his merchaums and the tweed"
I'd peddle simmons in a wood,
To help soul SO true and good.

To please the dear McDoSoUGH's eyes.
