Arrested for Assault.

Officers Massure, Pickett and Morse arrested
Jack FLYNN at his home, on Green street, at
2.15 this morning for the assault on Leonard
Green, mentioned on our third page. Flynn
denies his guilt, but the officers say they have
abundant evidence that he is the man wanted.
Green at last accounts was conscious, and he is
probably injured much less than at first sup

Deducting that, Davis will have plurality
of 249, which is SO short of a majority. sup
posing there are no further gains or losses.
THE above bulletin would seem to put
Davis plurality beyond all question, but the
possibility of errors in the Geographic trans
mission of the figures on which the tabulations
and footings of the associated press are based,
should be borne in mind by cur readers.

AUGUSTA, Sept. 19.-Election returns SO far
As received give Gov. Davis plurality of
about 200 votes. There are still several towns
and plantations to hear from and there are
some discrepancies in the returns received by
telegraph which make it difficult to ascertain
the exact result of the election. 1t is evident,
however, the vote is close, and it is quite pro-
bable that only the official canvass of the re-
turns will decide who is elected.

There was wild shrek in the room,
and the woman fell at his feet. In an
instant the peasants guessed the mad
purpose of the young serf. Two of the
strongest rushed forward to- stop his
hand. They were too late. A wild,
awful light glittered in the young mans
eyes; with almost supernatural strength
he dashed the peasants back. The
hatchet whistled through the air, and in
an instant the unhappy woman was dead
at his feet.

Three months after the terrible scene
related above, the young serf was brought
up before the highest criminal court, and
charged with willfui murder.
There was no need to prolong the trial.
The young serf was found guilty Of muir

But eventually, by the direct command
of the Emperor, the sentence of the
court was reversed, and the young seri
was committed to ten years servitude in

HOISTED BY Ills OWN PErARn

Speaking of reconstruction and seein.
your broad accusations Of treason. I nm
tempted to ask if you are sure that yo,
yourself and your associates did not CON,
NIT that crime.
IN March, 1867, the then existing gov.
eramen5 Of the Union was supreme al
over the country, and every State had a
separate government of its own for the
administration of it's domestic concerns
The government was entitled then. if it
ever was, to the unive rsaI obedience ot
! ell citizens, and you, its officers, had ta-
Ken special oath of fidelity to it. New
ertheless you made Il deliberate arrange
ment, not only to withdraw your support
from ir, but to overthrow it totally in ten
| OF the States; and this you did bv mill
tary force. In all the South Won levied;
war against the defanseless States. des-
troyed the free governments of both. and
substituted in their place an un:e1lpered
and absolute despotism.
Now, suppose you had been indicted
for this, how could you have escaped the
condemnation of the laws know your
excuses, and I can understand your
claims to mercy; but what legal defensa
could you have made consistent with
your own argument and the decision of
the court in the Milligan case
l cannot describe to you how unpleas-
ant is the sensation produced by yonr
professions of desire for peace. Why
do you not g i've us peace if you are will
ing we shall have it ? You need but to
cease hostiiities and the general tranquil !
ity will be restored. You refuse to do |
that because peace would ecdanger your
party ascendency. 10 naintrin your
oi"nderers in power, you have uniformly
'esorted to the bayonet-you have made
Evil the chronic condition of the
you have displaced
liberty, fraternity and equality and given
lothing instead but Infantry, artillery
md cavalry. You are at this moment
peh1y engaged in preparing your bat
alions Tor armed intervention in the
trn ggle of the people with the carpet
aGgers.
What makes this worse is your closing
eclaration that you will take no step
ackward. There is to be no repentance,
o change ofpolicy, and consequently no
eaceful or honest government. "Ou- !,
'ard," you say, is the word. Onward-l
, what ? To moro war, more plunder, $
lore oppression, more universal bankrup- g
", heavier taxes, and still worse frauds 1

HON. E. W. ROBERTSON.

That sprightly, "Jrue blue" Democratic
Journal, the Greensburg Gazette, hoists
the name of Col. E. w. Robertson as it's
choice in the approaching Convention, in
the following straightforward terms:
'Io-day we place the name of Hon. E.
w. Robertson of Baton Rouge, at the head
OF our columns, as our choice for Congress
from this District, believing as we do
that VIC represent the universal sentiment
OF the Democracy of this Parish. COL
Robertson has served lis we'll and faith
iully; has accomplished much for his
constituents; is thoroughly familiar with
parliamentary rules, and we know OF no
good reason why he should be DISPLACED
at this time in order that some other gem
tlenlan may be honored. He is au old
!inc Democrat and fought tho political
battles of has party in ante -bellum DAYS,
and when .visaGcd wac was upon us,
he, like all true Southerncrs and PATRIOTS
was found in the frent tanks bravelv
struggling In defense of the Sunny South.
Honesty. and capacity to discharge the
duties ofany office in ourgift, can always
he found in the ranks of those who wore
the gray aud it is our solemn duty to
give them the preference. There are 9th
or asPirants, some of whom are equally as
worthy, honest, capable and patriotic as
Col Rohertson, but he has the experience
and knows just how to proceed when in
the development Of the interests of his
constituency, whereas n new nember
would necessa lily delay about two years
until he could learn the rules of proce-
lure ard the general modus operandi.
AS to the iuestimablo value of his SER
ices to this pcop,e no higher or stronger
violence can be adduced than his record.
C which, we with pride refer our readers.
We trust that the convention III it's
'isdom, viii endorse our t,uice."

JUDGE BLACK HEARD FROM.

The editor of the PHILADELPHIA Times
IS i'll receipt of Il letter from Judge Black,
dated Paris, June 2Sth. We give par
interest at this time:
"Some letter or editorial of yours upon
the effect Of General Hancock's nomina-
ton was telegraphed and published in
the London and Paris papers several DAYS
ago, No political paper ofequal strength
has ever given me greater pleasure in the
reading You are Il political phi sopher
and your speculations have somewhat
disappointed me by their soundness and
accuracy. You let drop an expression in
1868 concerning General Hancock and
his friends which impressed me with the
belief that you dia not admire either him
or them up toethe point of their merits
see now that you appreciate not mere
ly his gallantry and heroism us Il soldier,
but those far higher qualities of mind
and heart which go to form the character
OF constitutional government. Your
expressed determination to see that GenI.
Garfield shall DO defended against all un-
just aspersions upon his personal charac-
ter is equally pleasant reading to me, for
l have been his devoted friend for many
years, and 1 am resolved that I never
will believe that he does not deserve the
affection 1 have bestowed upon HIM. If1
he would carry the principles which reg
ulatc his life into his public conduct he
would make the best we have ever had.
But he will act for the chief magistrate
interests of his party, as he has acted all
the time, and that will require him to
take the advice which Stephens gave to
Montneius in the buclshot war. lido not
know any really good man who has done
and assisted in doing so many bad things
in politics as General Garfield.
