| OPELoUsAs, March 19-The regular Dem
ocratic ticket is elected by about 1900 major
ity. The returns from all the polls but two
give 1885 majority. The two To be heard iron
will increase this. The Republicans are com.
pletely demoralized. The vote was small or
account OF the opposition ticket not being
known until a few hours before the election
when the tickets appeared in the hands Of al
the leaders Of the Radical party. They wert
nriutpH DFIpun9 blacks
out en- mnsse, expecting to carry the election
by surprise, but our people rallied in tbs
evening and won by the majority indicated
above. To show the importance that tht
Radicals attached to their move it Is simply
necessary TO say that large number o
Custom House employees were here working
for their ticket. L. w. HEATH.

ST. MAgTINsvILLE, La, March 19-Gen
Alex. DeCIouet, Democrat, has been defeated
In the parish OF St. Martin by one Alex
Strowick cOlored Republican, by majority
OF 229. How this happened we are at los
to know. The policy OF the administration
the leading Democrats believe, Is the cause o
1t. Unless the constitutional convention does
something for u5 we see no salvation for tn
future, for the fact Of being an able and hon
est man in this parish is sufficient cause b
have that man put aside to allow the meanes
negro to come In. Our only hope is that th'
convention will get US out Of this humiliatint
. position. Simon, independent Republican
