The Right Kind of Talk.

The Picayune thus sharply,
comments upon the late political
outrage in Indiana. Decency
forbids that it should be 'dignlhed
by the name Of election
1t is becoming clear that the
Republicans did not achieve a
popular victory in Indiana. Their
success was due to fraud
ization, repeating, and the Inter
ference Of United States marshals.
1t lisa triumph which brands with
shame those who hope to profit by
it-all except Garfield and Ar
thur. Those gentlemen wear so
mary scars of that description that
one more or less can make but
little diff renee to either Of them.
But ii was a victory every way
worthy of the Republican record,
and precisely what might nave
been expected from the party
which has hesitated at no crime
from the murder of Mrs. Surratt
to the theft Of the Presidency
from the party of bayonets ond re-
turning boards ; from the party
which has honored With the high.
est nominations within its gift a
man who perjured himself to es-
cape the odium Of receiving a
bride, and a man who was dis
charge from the New York Gus
tom-House for pecu1ation in Office.
The legitimate result Of The In
diana election should be great
popular reaction in favor Of the
Democratic ticket. Even decent
Republicans should d~isclain all
pride III a success which must
bring into worldwide disrepute
the system Of universal suffrage.

The railroad is bringing some
strange customers into Opelousas.
The other day we met a fellow all
the way from Bangor, Maine, who
asked US what prospects would
there be for the establishment ola
"Grangor" mandatory here? We
had never heard of the name, and
inquired what it was. He looked
surprised at our ignorance, and ex.
planned that it was a continuance
by which the finest kind Of new
leather could be made out of old
worn. out boots, shoce, scraps Of
betting, etc. We reared, and he
passed on. Another was anxious
to dispose Of a recipe for making
all kinds Of liquors out Of corn.
cobs, molasses, and pepper. And
still another had an ingenious ap-
paratus for making pork sausages,
he said, out Of the poorest beef.
We told the two latter fellows to
cast anchor right here, that this
was just the place for them. The
last heard Of the Granger" man,
he was vending his way in the
direction Of Washington.-Saint

Philadelphia Record The Gin

for every 3.29 Of population. This
beats Philadelphia. Westward

The curious coincidence that the
proportion Of voters to the total
population corresponds exactly
with the mystical figures in Cakes
Ames' note-book-whea he was
putting money where it would
do most good-seems to have
been overlooked by our Philadel-
