Ex-Congressman Peddie, OF New Jersey,
states that during recent visit to Ireland he
could not fail to noticethe demand for Amer
lean goods. The preference for them over
those manufactured In England amounted
almost to enthusiasm among the people, and
this feeling is rapidly growing. The largest
hardware store In the city of Dublin has
prominently displayed on the sign American

used in that country In the same sense that

THE STATE ELECTION.

So far as heard from at this writing,
the election Of Tuesday was marked
by peace and good order in all por-
lions Of the State, with the exception
of a hloodless row At Gretna, and the
result was sweeping triumph for the
Democracy, their candidates receiv-
ing from $4,000 to 10000 majority.
The proposed constitution is adopted
by still larger majority, having re-
ceived an almost unanimous support
from the Democracy and cDnsidera-
ble proportion Of the Republican, vote.
The debt ordinance met with no
little opposition among the Demo
Gratis and was soli.lly opposed Ivy the
Republicans, but it has probably
pulled through by small majority.
While it can not be denied, .fr0m SIR
face indications, that the general re-
suit Of the State election has been
reached through fair and peaceful
agencies, there are some points con
nected with the contest which reqnire
explanations. Among these are the
heavy Democratic. majorities given
by parishes like Tensas, Madison and
Concordia, heretofore strongly Re-
publican. Leaving these questiora-
BILE features for discussion when time
shall have supplied their solution, as
it will shortly do, we append state

a meeting in the third ward the Satur-
day night preceding the election public
announcement Of the proposed change
was made, and it was received with uni

Tuesday the deposed candidate exerted
himself to the utmost in the boiling in

so apparent that it produced little effect,
and it was we'll known that but short
time before, Mr.. Sullivan had extollefl
