STEALING LOUIsIANA's VOTE.
startling Evidence OF Democratic
hwiudliDg - Enough Proof. to
vftiate the Elections.

NEw"ORLEAss, Dec. 6.-As the true
inwarduess Of the late election develops
itself, 1t stands out as the greatest
swindls perpetrated upon the people
since the forcing Of the ordinance Of
secession in 1851. "The Times" has
already been informed Of the larceny
that Is the only word 10 cover the case
of about 5000 votes from the Repub-
lican ticket. The evidence Of the
counting out Of the 1900 majority for
the Republicans in Tsnsas and the
substitution of 1900 majority for the
Democrats Is now received. Not Re-
publican Commissioner was permitted
to serve, although the votes are ten to
one Republican, and no Republican
was permitted at the polls after the
voting, and the change of ballots was
carried on openly, aud without hin
drance.
In Natchitoches, the Republicans
and the Greenback Party combined and
cast a majority vote. The parish was
counted for Wilt, and 800 opposi.
tion vetes were thrown out.
The state of affairs In St. Bernard is
peculiar. This parish, with Plaque
mine and two. wards Of Orleans,
forms the first Senatorial district, and
chooses two Senators. Plaquemins is
Overwhelmingly Republican, while the
two city wards have been carried by
Independents. Ex-Governor Warmoth
was Republican candidate. 1t is a
parish stretching hundred miles
along the river, down into the Gulf,
and some days are always consumed in
getting in the returns. The vote In st
Bernard was fully counted at 3 o'clock
Wednesday morning. No returns have
yet been made out. The Sheriff OF the
parish has been in town since thursday
with the returns in his pocket, not fill
I'D out, but signed in blank, waiting
for the Plaquemine vote to come in, so
he can fll in figures from St. Bernard
sufficient to defeat Warmoth and elect
the Democratic candidate, who was
beaten in the city, and stood no show
in Plaquemi:e. The ordinance Of the
convention requires the Governor.
Lieutenant Governor, Attorney .Gener-
al, and Secretary of State to compile
the returns, and the Governor to pro-
mulgate them. The Republicans are
preparing evidences Of fraud to be sub
mitted, and it is intimated that they
have reasons to believe that II they can
make case, the Governor will not
make the PRONUNCIATION. Should he
take this course, he will remain in Of
fee another year, as we'll as all the
other State and judicial officers elected
in 1876, and the State will avoid the
disgrace of reputation.

NEWPORT, Dec. Sth, 10.
The scarcity Of water this Fall has in
duced Mr.. Atwood Weldin to dig a large
cistern to hold supply. While at
work making the excavation few days
ago, and when at depth Of eight feet,
one of the sides caved in, and but for
the fac! that the men had gone to get a
drink Of water at the time, some Of
them must have been hurt, perhaps
killed.
A like occurrence happened in Mr..
Penrose Lynam's gravel pit a short time
ago, when William Porter was almost
buried alive by the falling gravel, and
has since been unable to work. y
A colored man engaged in husking
corn for V. G. Finn, in field in which
there are some old earthworks found an

three weeks of wonderful prosperity,

the managers after the fair had been

such there would be trouble If they
we're stopped. Under these circum-
stances the fair was allowed to go or,

American and European Archaeology.


A marked difference is observa-
BILE between Europe and America
with respect to the order of sue
cession of the different pre-histo-
ric human "periods" to one anoth-
er. In fact the succession is in
the one exactly the reverse of what
it is in the other. This difference
is clearly expressed by the Rev.
Stephen d. Peet in an article on
"The Archaeology of Europe and
America" ''ln Europe" he says,
"the cave-hunter, who used bone
implements, first departed the
fisherman of the kitchen-midden
next passed away; the builder of
the earth mounds followed with
his rude weapons, and the inhabi-
tants of the palafitte next disap-
peared ; and last of all the etrus-
can, the builder of the rude stone
monuments. Thus Esquimaux,
Basque, Briton, Belgian, Celt, Sax
on and Etruscan, are the success
sors to one another, while on this
continent Quiches, Toltec, Aztec,
Mound-builders, Red Indians, and
Esquimaux, are the silent throng
who have reversed the column of
departure. The Esquimaux was
ruder than the Basque, and the
Basque than the Briton, and so the
order of departure gave place to
higher culture. In America the
most civilized was the soonest re-
moved, and the rudest remained
the longest. The ancient city was
deserted, but the pueblo remained /;
the pueblo itself changed inhabi-
tants, but the Mound-builder re-
manned; the Mound-builder was
driven away, but the Red Indian
continued; the Red Indian has dis
appeared, but the Esquimaux
abides. The places of Palenque
and Uxmal and the seven cities Of
Cibola are monuments of a civilza-
tion more ancient than the Mound
builders. The mounds of the
Mississippi valley were doubtless
erected by n more ancient race
than the people who occupied at
the time of their discovery. The
Red Indians held an unbounded
dominion more ancient than the
villages which they inhabited, and
the Esquimaux may possibly have
once covered the whole land where
all of these tribes so lately roamed,
but the last survivor of all is now
the rudest and ldest."-Science
