Good Business iM New York
Hotels.

The hotel registers of New York in
dictate great prosperity in the hotel
business over last year. All the hotels
are crowded and many applicants are
turned away. The influx Of visitors Is
caused by merchants coming to the city
for goods, by people who left their
homes May lst, and are not yet ready
to go to the country, and in measure
by the tidal wave of European travel,
but, more than all, the crowded state Of
the hotels is owing to good times. Pur.
chasers Of goods appear to be spending
money freely, and trade is reported
brisk,

Handle Your Cotton Carefully.

should have been made earlier IN the season.
There is perhaps less care given TO the
Of cotton for the market, after the
crop Ina. been made, Than any other staple
produced in America, in proportion TO the
iairm required to- produce it. Men work all
the wear TO pr S!uce and gather crDp az cot

damaged Wy rams, run it through guns that
damage the fibre, press II carelessy, wrap II
in interior bay.i,s and then roll the TALES "'',
into the mud, and often let them lie There until
tho cotton rot- to the depth "t from one hal

IL is ha,,,ed 10 the banks OF rlycr, and hayon,

The election in this parish was one OF the
ouietest we ever witnessed, at least in Kay
vile, and we hear Of no Disturbance OF any
kind occurring any ~her, in the parish. VI
course a good many democrats worked like
beavers for their ticket; but they did II in an
orderly, quiet manner, and the best Of hunor
prevailed throughout the day. One coI"red
man, who had perhaps been on, hunting,
came walking into town with gun on his
shoulder Our visiIant sheriff lifted it OFT his
shoulder and walked oil with it, while said
darky stood and gazcd after him IN open
mou,hed as,onishmeni, and the other darkies
had hearty laugh at his expense.
The vote was quite light in some OF the
wards, over four hundred registered voters Of
the parish failing to vote, perhaps on acs'un
Of the bad weather, for it rained nearly al
day; though this ward ('he 2nd) Polled 8
pretty full vote. The following is a correc
copy Of tue official returns Of the parish:

The Election News.

vi course we cannot give the official re-
urn. from any Of the S,ie-, Du, VIC have
sufficient news from ditirIen, States to show
that there ha, been heavy Republican gains
in nearly ell the Northern and 4 few OF tue
southern States. Garfield and Autumn are
almost certainly elected for it is extremely
doubtful if Hancock carried Il single northern
State, though tue official coun, may p!ove the
contrary.
New York is still donb full, as we write, and
if the Democrats have lost that State Garfield
is elected beyond doubt.
In this State the Democrats have very
probably elected all the C-npre>smen. King
Is certainly elected in This (j,h) Dsr'c, bya
very handsome majority
Since the above was in t;pe we have re-
ceived intelligence tia, indicates tia. Darrall.
Republican, is elected in the thir,i congress
sional district Democrats elected from all
the other districts.
We wish we could give Our democratic
readeas more cheering election news, but
che facts do not Justify Is in doing 50; do
not justify US in eIasing them with the hope
of a triumph; and we can only say: Let
rs hope for the best and not despair Of the
final result, but not to be too much mortified
and chagrin-d at our defeat.
We have learned that it will not do 10
believe all the political promises we hear,
nor to expect too much from the Northern
democrats. The North is too ea-i y frieh,en>
ed by a solid South, and i, would probably be
better for the parry aud for the South il 1t
were not quite 80 solid.
The die is cast, an, majority Of the Peo-
pie have no doubt chosen to perpetua,e repub-
lican rule. We can do nothing but quietly
submit to their decision and return to ouI
private occupations and assist each other in
building up anil developing our home inter
es,s and resources, and lie, the Republicans
run the Executive department Of this govern
.ncnt for another four years a, least.
We do not know tina, the Democrats will
ever obtain control of the United States
government; but q revolution in public
sen,imenet will come, sooner or later, when
!, will pas. out Of the hands OF the Repub
licans. The people will discover that an
extended lease Of power is dangerous to iiieiI
liberties and inconsistent with the principles
of Republican institutions. That psuy has
already had a continuous lease Of power
longer than any of its predecessors, AMI fo'
this very reason we were confiden, that i
would be required to surrendet the relns int
other hands; but it seems the people have
decided Otherwise, and theii decision mus
stand.
