At Rayvillc, says the Beacon, another

plate of the lock of the inner door by
prying, and forced the bolt back, but
not sufficiently to open the door We
learn that they were surprised in their

serious Oticnsc, and efforts will no doubt
be made to discover and bring the Of
Tenders to justice.
Tho ColfaX Chronicle gives q practical
illustration Of the adr 'nistration of JUS
ticc in its vicinity, in the following
terms: "Wc have pair of colorcd Off
cials in the First Ward of Grant parish
in Charlie Thomas, Justice of the Peace,
and J. 0. Butler, Constable. Thomas
advised an old colorcd man, VIM. Allen,
to bring suit to eject Il laborcr off his
place for not complying with his con-
tract, and when the case came up before
him he mulctcd old man Allcn.for the
costs, because nothing could be made
out of the other party. Butler, it seems.
considers his office as giving him the
right to bulldoozc the balance of the
colorcd people. His wife got into u
quarrel with the wife of old man John
jackson, whcrcupon Butler, instead of
trying to keep the peace, instructed her
to pitch in and whip Jackson's wife.
This pair do credit to the school in which
they learned politics, and afford shin
ing example of the effects of Radicalism
in the State Of Louisiana. Their inca
pacity aud ovcrbcariny ought to serve
as u warning to the colorcd people not to
elect ignOramuscs to Office. Ignorance
is always insolcnt when clothed with

SHOWS FOR ITSELF,

The Claiborne Guardian gets off the
followinssood hitat the summer liars:
A mare near Moberby, Mo-, is en-
titled to the blue ribbon if there is any
particular distinction in bringing three
colts into the world at birth. One
of these colts was a mule, the other
two horse colts. 1t is true that tie
mule and one of the horse colts arc
dead, but the mare and other colt arc
alive to show for themselves. The
story and the proof remind us of an
anccdotc that we have heard our es-
tccmcd friend Judge r.. c. Drew tell
with much gusto. One Bill Wamble
told that he had a horse that had
frequently climbed u tree. His offer
to swear to the fact was not consd-
cred sufficient, when to clinch the
matter he said: "Well, gents, if YOU
don't believe me, right out there in
my lot is the tree to show for itself"

ENDORSING THE FRAUDULENT
DECISION.

In the nomination of Garfield the
Republican party have done more
than to overlook the dishonest trans
actions with which his name is inter
woven, namely the Credit Mobelier
and the De Golyer pavement swim
dlers, but they have presented to the
American people as their candidate
q man who stood prominently for the
infamous decision by which Samuel j.
Tilden, who had received 100000
votes more than Hayes, was declared
defeated for the presidency by ONE
ELECTORAL VOTE.
TO vote for Garfield is to sustain
him in his count of Louisiana and
Florida for Hayes, and to sanctify the
returns declared byJ. Madison Wells,
Tom Anderson and the othcrunblush-
ing villains of his returning board.
Will the American people record
themselves on the pages of history as
having elected a man guilty of con
summating this iniquity upon popular
suffrage which has affixed upon the
National cscutcheOn the darkest
stain that could possibly DC spread
upon it.
Centuries will succeed ono another,
but future generations will in turn
read Of The shameful transaction which
gave their ancestors a president who
had been defeated at the polls.
A bold usurpation, u revolution by
the force of arms, led by ambitious
men would not have cast disllonor
upon the Republic, but the votes of
eight men selected by Congress and
sworn to respect the popular will and
the honor of the Nation, given against
public evidence and stern facts, will
appear as the most glaring act Ofper-
jury and fraud ever pcrpetratcd.
Evcryman who votes for Garfield,
will aid in proclaiming as correct
the count Of Louisiana's vote in 1876,
rendered by Mad. Wells returning
board. lie can leave that sad record
to his children, that in 1880, he ne
dorsed at the polls, Garfield, one of
the perjured members Of the Electoral
Commission.
His Credit Mobiiicr and Dc Goiycr
pavement swindlcs, arc but crosses
of honor as compared to the Infamous
vote he gave against the people Of
Louisiana and Florida and the good
name of the Republic.
The question is simply whether the
perpetrators of the great crime against
popular sovereignty will be sustained
by the people, or whether the seal of
public condemnation will be affixed
them just as it has already been done
upon Madison Wells and Tom An
dcrsOn.

DEMOCRACY Is ETERNAL

Judge lloadlcy, the temporary
Chairman of the Cincinnati Conven-
ton, in calling the representatives OF
the Democracy to order, said that
neithcrthc defeat nor the success of the
nominees could affect Ihc integrity of
the party, for, said he, "Dcmocracy
is Etcrual."
The past has demonstrated The
truth of his assertion. Political par
ties in this country, based upon the
false principles suggested, by the cx-
pediency of the hour, have, from time
to time, swaycd the massesand placed
the sceptre of government i'll the
hands of their leaders.
Confronting the divers theories and
their advocates, The principles oftme
Republicanism, at times crushed to
earth, have arisen more powerful than
ever, after every contest.
. Tho Democratic party impressed
with the conviction that all men are
equal before the law; that u stable
government cannot exist unless it re-
poses upon the consent of the gov
crncd, in consequence of which the
right of local sclf-govcrnmcnt is in
dispcnsablc to ensure religious free
dom. and the enjoyment of the GUS
toms appertainins to each State and
locality, has kept with within its
ranks all men, who, knowing the
rights which God has given to every
human being, dare maintain them.
The Democratic party while adhcr-
ing firmly to its fundamental princi-
pies has had the wisdom to remain
within certain lines of Gcmarcation,
while it has kept pace with Nc pro-
gressiyc march of civilization. 1t is
because of this characteristic trail that
citizens opposed to the ultra or radi-
cal views of dcmagogucs have sought
refuge, in the hour of danger to the
liberties of the Nation, under the
broad folds of tho banner of Democrat
Cy.
