AS the reports OF the Louisiana

AS the reports Of the Louisiana
election come in from the back
towns they exhibit the usual bull
doing outrages, In Madison coun-
ty, where the Republicans formerly
had 5000 majority, the election was
carried by the Democracy by the
most high-handed frauds. David
Armstrong, r. IL Brown and eX-
Sheriff Peck, Republicans, were
hanged by the bull-dozers. OtherRe-
publican election officers fled for
their lives, leaving the baIlot-boxes
in possession of the Democrats, who
made up o Democratic majority Of
over 1000. The robbing Of two
polls in Jefferson parish and one in
Algeries, destroyed about 1900 Re-
publican naiorities at those points.
In st. Mary's parish, which gave
500 majority for Beattie, before the
returns could be compiled the clerks
office was forcibly entered and the
balIot-boxes destroyed. And yet
this is . land of free ballots.

A GREAT DAY IN ISRAEL.

Tuesday last was a great day for this ma
tion. The great populous, intelligent, and
enterprising States Of New York, Pennsyl-
yania, and Illinois elected three Stalwarts
of marked ability and power to the Senate
of the United States. The election of SEN
ator CoNKLING from New York, taken all
together, is without parallel in history. lie
walked over the course without compete
tor, and secured the prize without n strug-
gle. Never before in our recollection has
modern political history presented par
allel to this result
The election of Senator J. DONALD CAM
ERON to succeed himself from Penusylya-
mia may also be regarded, under the chcum-
stances as a signal triumph, for his re-clec-
ton was antagOnized with much zeal and
determination but the State has honorcd
itself in this determination of the question
II has secured the services of sound and
stalwart Republican; man Of profound
Judgment in all matters Of business,
und true man under all emergencies
Senator CAMERON is not an orator, while he
is a sound counsellor He will not attempt
to enchant the public mind by grouping
thoughts in rich rhetoric or clothing them
with the drapcry of eloquonce, but ho will
