The Election In Loaistaua.

NEW ORLEANS, Dee. 5.-Advices
received from the country parishes
make it clear that in most OF them
the Republicans either staid away
entirely from the polls, for fear Of vi
olence, as in Madison, or polled their
full vote and then were deliberately
counted out When the negroes were
let alone there was full free vote
with the Republicans, in some in
stances To illustrate, the Parish Of
Iberville, the home Of Robert Hebert,
the Republican contestant for the
seat now held in Congress by Ack-
len, gave majority of 1,6I9 for
Bea.tie, and took care TO see the
same properly counted. This vote
was 663 more than Packard got in
1876, and more than was given to
Kellogg in 1872 This result is par
TALLY owing to the nerve and sagsc-
ity Of Hebert as political manager,
but illustrates the fact that negroes
are as fond Of voting now as in the
past, when it can be done with safety
to their persons.
One instance of bulldozing: A
leading white Republican, passing
the court house in parish in which
be did not reside, on his way through
to a telegraph station, observed the
Republican candidates seated on the
fence across the street, and room
full of Democrats counting the votes.
lie demanded admittanee, but was
refused He renewed his demand in
the interest of the State ticket. A
consultation was had, in which this
Republicans determination of char
acter and capacity for truth were
only weighed, ana be was finally ad-
mitled. He was told that they were
going 10 count out the Radicals, 0ut
if he would be content with the vote
on the State ticket, he could have il.
on condition that he would interfere
in no way with the local officers.
This was agreed to. So the strange
anomaly appears in the returns, of
some hundred majority for the Re
publican State ticket, and all the 9TH
er Republican candidates defeated.
1t is noticeable fact that in the
sugar-growing parishes there was no
trouble, and there are no complaint
of interference, except in st. Mary's,
where the ballot-boxes were DESTROY
ed after the election. The bulldoziug
swindling, aud outrages appear to be
limited to the upper cotton parishes.
The delegates came in from these
points to the late Republican Con-
vention with the rsllying cry Of
Fair count or Kansas" The word
is now Exodus" and it will now
commence in earnest, and probably
continue until the acres of North
Louisiana are stripped of labor. The
result has already had the effect to
reduce the market value OF State
bonds from AZ to 3sll cents, the pro-
visions of the new Constitution hm-
iting the tax to 5 mills on the dollar
for the payment of sll expenses of
the State This is repudistion pure
and simple, SO far as the Constitution
and laws of Louisiana can consum-
mate il.

Simply because the man VINO

faced, smiling old man, certain par
ties came to the conclusion that there
was nc fight in him. Thew therefore
cooked up plan to play upon bis
fears and make him "set 'em up' for
| the crowd.
Three red-nosed men called upon
the old man in body yesterday, and
business was opened by one of them
saying:
"When | was in here last night
you handed me glass of beer with
fly in it. No gentleman would do
that. You meant it as an insult, and

"You must go cut with me end

"Yes, it is. I'll 60 out and leave
my two friends here to settle the de-
tails with you. l must either have
blood or an ample apology :"
When the belligerent retired one of
the others said:
"See here, old man, I'm afraid
you've got yourself into bad box.
That chap is sure shot, and he'll
wing you"
"How vhill he put some wings on
me?" innocently inquired the beer
jerker
"Now, listen. You insulted him -
"Yaw."
"He demands the satisfaction of a
gentleman"
"Yaw."
"You must fight duel with him
or else apologize and set up the
beer"
"V hat ish duel 2"
"Why, you will go outside the city
and pace off ten PAGES and shoot at
each other. Now, then, will you do
that or set up the beer and beg his
pardon 2"
"Vhell, / tells you," replied the old
man as he lifted 6 big navy revolver

He thereupon changed his pistol

Ii is impossible 70 say how much
the history Of Europe owes to the

When all her children were princes

sweet Tyrolese prettiness Of Maria
Louisa won from her only a sort Of
contemptuous indulgence. When
her mighty son ruled the continent.

chidings be regarded or endured.
She was faithful in her rebukes while
the sun shone, and when calamity
came, her undaunled spirit was still
true and devoted 70 the fallen. Her
provincial habit Of economy stood her
in good stead IN her vigorous old age;
she was rich when the Empire had
passed away, and her grandchildren
needed her aid Ii must have been
from her that Napoleon took his ex-
