THE ELECTION.

The election passed off quietly in
Covington. There was not full
vote polled, although much interest
was manifested as to the result,
both parties conceding that the ma
jority would be small for the victor,
The returns from all the wards were
in by ten o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, when it was shown that
JAS. Il. Thompson, Esq, of Coving-
ton, the regular Democratic candi-
date, was elected by 80 majority,
over Mr.. a. A. Baudouin, the indie
pendent candidate, who was in
dorsed by the Republicans and
Nationals.
Mr.. Easterly, the District candi-
date, met with very little opposition
in this parish, and was elected
throughout the district by a large
majority.
Mr.. Thompson is o lawyer by pro-
fession, and is SO well known
throughout the parish that amy re-
marks from US are unnecessary. Mr..
Easterly is an extensive planter in
the parish of Livingston, and is
fully alive to the wants aud necessi-
ties of the people.
Both gentlemen fully appreciate
the important and responsible du-
tics awaiting them, and We feel con-
tdent they will honestly and dill
gently labor for the best interests
of the State and people, in the forma-
ton of our new constitution,

THE PEN, THE PULPIT AND .
THE PRESS.
By Mas. L. CRAaY SApLn.

What power for evil or good
There is in little Pen,
Cut and shaped to a graceful point
By the skillful hands of men;
Then dipped in drop of ink,
lis potent to heal or smite;
And mightier far than any sword.
Battling for wrong or right
What power against the wrong
The Pulpit Yields to-day!
A power indeed no tongue can tell.
No Pen can e'er portray.
And the Pulpit and the Pen.
When they shall both combine.
Shall be power against the wrong,
Akin to the divine.
What . power there is in the press-
The mighty press of the age!
The battle it fights for right or wrong
Doth every one engage.
These powers for veal or woe
Will all in the balance be laid.
Then will be known. and not before.
How each the other outweighed.

THE NATIONAL PARTY.
SPEECH AT THE COURTHOUSE

Saturday evening, to a very fair
audience, considering the inclem-
ency of the weather. He was in
troduced by Jas. NJ. Thompson,
Esq, the Democratic candidate for
delegate to the Constitutional Con-
vention from st. Tammany parish.
Judge Cullom then apologized for
not meeting u previous appoint
ment to speak in Covington, stating
that he was detained by criminal
business in connection with the
notorious Returning Board. His
object was to explain the principles
of the National Party. He spoke
of the Republican party as it was
i'll 1860 and in 179S. and referred to
the recent history of the Republi-
cain Congress, which had left us
nothing but the stings of outrage.
But there is an old adage which
says, Yield if you must, evade if
you can" He referred to the an
tagonism engendered between the
Republican and Democratic parties.
Why not, then, get up new party?
The Convention which met at To-
ledo, Feb. %, 1878. was prompted
by the purest motives. There were
365 delegates present, and after ma
ture elaboration, they established
the National Party.
During the late war much of the
best blood of the South and North
was left on the battle field, and many
returned marred and SCARED, to
live in poverty and mourning. The
General Government demanded a
policy of war, and Issued millions
of dollars of interest bearing bonds, !
payable in gold; but it paid off the
soldiers who did the fighting with
greenbacks. He said if greenbacks
were good enough for the soldier
they were good enough for the
boAdholder. He demonstrated the |
injustice of issuing these non-taxa-
BILE bonds. The greeLback party
wanted the greenbacks kept in cir
they should also be used |
to pay the public debt, which in
1876 amounted to s., 600, 000,00 or
$40 per head for every man, woman
and child in the country. He show
ed that the greenback dollar was
second in value only to gold, while
silver was worth much less, and the
twenty of which pass for
dollar, are really worth only II cents.
And yet men clamor for silver; I
it jingles in the pocket and makes a
pleasing sound to the ear.
He said it was not his purpose to
speak particularly against the Dem
ocrats, or Republicans; but he ar
raigned both parties alike for con-
.inuing policy which could bring
is nothing but financial ruin.
He spoke of the enormously ex-
oensive governmental system es-
ablished in Louisiana under Radi-
,al rule, and referred to the action
# the last Democratic Legislature,
when proposition for a reduction {
# the mileage and. per diem of
members was defeated, the Demo- {
ratio Legislature declaring that it ,
would be unconstitutional for them s
0 accept less than eight dollars per {

ample, the case of the members from
Shreveport, who travelled by steamer
to New Orleans and home again
1t is not an uncommon thing for a
fast steamer to make $50 or 200
miles in . day and night, and yet
these members received eight dol
lars, each way. for every thirty
miles they Travelled. They could GO
TO the State House and return in
less than q week; but under the
present law they received eight dol
lars per day for at least fifty days
travelling, making a cost to the
State, for each member, in merely
going to and from the State House,
of $500 or $500.
He favored the adoption of afIaw
which would enable the people to
call representative home as soon
as he failed to properly re- resent
them, according to instructions, and
hoped that his friend Mr.. Thomp-
son, [Applausel. if elected to the
Convention, would advocate this
measure.
He said there were 100000
laborers in this country, and about
100000 professional meu, and yet
1S9 out of 312 members of Congress
were professional men. The labor
ing men comprised the strength
and power of the country, and
should insist on being more fully
in the government.
He said there was entirely too
much discord in the South, which
prevented immigrants from coming
here. Out of 100000 immigrants
coming to this country, not more
than 1000 came to the South. He
thought there should be entire con-
fdence and the most friendly rela-
tons established between labor and
capital, and our prosperity is as
sured.
He spoke against the idea of
Solid South" and said this course
would certainly lead to "Solid
North" in which event there would
be thirty-seven Northern States and
Territories against eleven Southern
States. He therefore thought it
would be better for the South to
unite on the National platform.
Much had been promised the peo-
pie in the way of internal improve
nents; but he said it was useless to
expect that any large appropriations
would be made for this purpose;
he National Platform Of the Demo-
cratic party makes it impossible for
my of its members to support a
system Of National internal improve
nents.
He denied being a member of the
Red Warriors, as charged in PAM
inlet claiming to be an exposition
# that organization. He then pro-
eeded to explain the objects of the
Native American Association, say
ng that it was nothing more than
society composed of natiye-born
americans, devoted to mutual aid
nd the promotion of the welfare of
IS members. Similar associations
