The Maine election has resulted
disastrously for the Republicans.
and the Democrats of that State are
ahead, having elected their ticket
by near 1000 majority. To the Re
publicans this was unexpected,
They have spent money and wind
in the Maine canvass without stint,
and now they have lost the victory.
This is not the worst of it, as this
result will largely affect the coming
elections, and goes a long way to
insure the success Of Hancock. and
there's where the wall of woe comes

In his dispatch to Garfield, ad-
hitting the defeat of the Repub-
licans in Maine, Senator Blaine
says:
We lost over 5000 votes by means
well known to the managers of the
National Democratic campaign, and
which do not call for further speciti-
cation from Inc. The total cost is
estimated at from $4,000 to $780,
900, and the money al came from
beyond the State. Such scenes were
never before Witnessed III Maine"
If money was actually used in
Maine, in the manner intimats III
the above dispatch, it is not saying
much for the patriotism and loyalty
of the average Maine Radical. He
loves his party some, but he loves a
dollar some more.

There is fair prospect for a
muddle in the Second Congressional
District. The bummers and hood
lums in New Orleans have never
forgiven E. John Ellis for support
ing Ogden against Witt for Gov
ernor, and now they propose to
slaughter him at the coming nomin-
ating convention. 1t would be a
public calamity to fail to send Ellis
back to Congress, but the New Or
leans Fire Department, which in
cludes the hoodlums, bummers and
ringsters of the city. is arrayed
against him, determined to defeat
his nomination.

Acklen may be proper man to
go to Congress. but he has a very
unfortunate habit of getting into
troubles Of q social and political
character, which requires constant
apology or whitewashing on the
part of his friends. 1t would APP
pear that a member of Congress
should possess, among his other
qualifications, the capacity to keep
out of the Washington scandals.

The darkie exodusters who have
found refuge and rations in Kansas
demanded a darkie candidate on
the Republican ticket for Lieuten-
ant Governor. The whites could
net see things in that light. and
now there is trouble. No class of
people, even if in majority, who
depend on charity for rations and
clothes, can successfully dictate the
politics Of a country. Their pole is
not long enough to reach the per-
simmon.

Since the Maine election, the in
terrogatory of the Radicals is heard
in the land, rs there no balm in
Gilead?" We don't know of any,
but the best thing for them to do, if
they can, is to "read their title clear
to mansions in the skies" The
chance is slim one, but it is the
last one for them.

We never expected to live to see
the day when a Democratic Legis-
lature in this State would adopt a
worse charter for New Orleans than
the Radical bastard now in force.
This was the case last winter, for if
the new city charter had not been
worse than the present Que, Gov.
Wilt would certainly not have
vetoed it.

Some time ago a son of Tom
Anderson was nominated for Con-
gress by the Republicans of the
Third District, and now a son of J.
Madison Wells is nominated for
Congress by the Radicals of the
Fourth District. Thus it appears
that about all the brains in the
Radical party in this State are
somewhere in the neighborhood Of
the Returning Board.

THE SOLID SOUTH.
SOLID AGAINST BRIBERY, CORRUPTION
AND WHISKY RINGS.

| Gen. Chalmers speech at Yonkers. n. Y.
More than all. Hancock repre-
sents /. party which knows no Sec
tional lines. Garfield represents u
IL party born of sectional agitation,
nurtured III sectional hate, and
which to-day provokes IA solid Demo-
cratic South, in the hope that it may
organize solid Republican North.
They tell you the government is in
danger from solid South and that
IL strong government is necessary TO
suppress Southern violence. tell
YOU, my tellow-citizens, that q
strong government means a weak
people, aud weak people,
willing to submit to strong
government, means the end OF the
sepublic and the beginning of des-
potism. II the South was solid for
any evil purpose it might be well
10 listen to such clamor, but it is
not. Sheis solid in her prayers for
peace and prosperity. She is solid
for honesty, economy, and good
government. She Is solid for the
old flag and gallant Union soldier
who bore it in triumph on the field.
She is solid against bribery, corrup-
ton, whisky rings, and fraudulent
contracts. In short, she is solid
for Democracy and against the Re
publican party.
+ But l come here to ask you what
1t is you fear from the South. and
why you refuse to trust the Demo-
cratic party on account of its South
ern members? You did not fear the
South when in arms. You cannot
fear any hostile invasion FROM her
now when she has surrendered her
guns. You cannot fear a restora-
ton of slavery nor any claim of pay
lnent for slaves, for these things are
expressly prohibited in the amend
ments To the Constitution Of the
United States, which have been
ratified by all orr States.
The cry that we will bankrupt
the government with Southern war
claims is equally absurd. None can
be paid under the law, except the
claims of loyal men, and the idea
that Confederate Brigadiers should
bankrupt the government and i'm
poverish themselves with taxation
10 pay war clans 20 Southern
Union men. who they hated as the
copper heads were hated by the
Union men of the North, is too
ridiculous to need refut,stion. /
cannot believe that such sham
can impose on the thinking, -cslcu-
lating business men of the North.

Shortly before the Maine election
Mr.. H. E. Gore, Chairman of the
Maine Greenback State Committee,
resigned his position and went
over to the Republicans. Perhaps
this accounts for the great calamity
which has befallen the Republicans
in that State. They were Gored to
death.

that wooden posts put in the

CONCERNINGLANDSBO BOUGHT
BY THE STATE AT
TAX SALES.
[St. Landry Democrat, ]

delinquent tax payers. 1t was sub
mitted to the people by the late
constitutional convention, was rati-
! fed at the election last December,
and is therefore to-day part and
parcel OF the supreme law of the
land.
1t was intended to relieve those
whose property had become for
feited to the State or any political
corporation therein, on account OF
non-payment of taxes previous to
january LIST, 1879; those whose
property had been sold for non-pay-
ment of taxes and licenses, and
bought in by the State up to Janu-
airy LIST, 1879; and delinquent tax
payers previous to that time.
There is no act OF legislation on
the statute books which directly in
terests SO large class of our PEG
pie as this ordinance.
The delinquent list in this parish
since 1870 is very large, and the til
tie TO much valuable property, as Is
well known, is now III the State, she
having become the purchaser at tax
sales annually made.
Ifpeople desire to take advantage
of the benefits of the ordinace they
must do SO previous 70 the lst day
of next January.
If they desire to redeem their
lands, previous to that day, they
can 10 SO on paying simply the
principal of the tax without any
cost, penalty, interest fee OF charge
whatever.
After flat time all charges, inter
estS, costs, penalties and.fees revive,
and as it is well known fact that
these in nearly every tax sale exceed
the taxes assessed. those who make
the redemption previous to january
Ist will save more than half what
they must afterward pay to effect
the redemption.
In regard to delinquent Tux
payers, if they come forward at
once and,pav their delinquent tax,
assessed and recorded against them,
they ARE entitled to full and entire
acquittance and receipt on payment
of the principal of the tax assessed
against them, and are moreover en-
titled to discount of ten per cent
per annum until january LIST, 1881,
But the days of grace for deliu-
quents expire also on the 1st OF
January, 1881.
All the interests. costs, penalties
fees, charges, etc, reunited by the
ordinance, if not paid by that day,
revive, and attach to the property
upon which the taxes and licenses
are due, and the Sheriff will then
proceed to sell the property without
benefit of appraisement, and give
the purchaser at such sale a full and
complete title.
As will be seen the ordinance also
provides for the payment of all these
delinquent taxes and licenses in GER
tain outstanding valid obligations
of the State. These obligations,
tn ough rapidly enhancing in value,
are still selling Mt discount, and
hence delinquents who are prompt !
in settling make in this way another
considerable saving.
In conclusion we advise all inter |
ested to give the ordinance close !
and attentive perusal, and if they
be within any of the catagories OF
cases provided for by the ordinance,
to lose no time in taking advantage /
of its benefits.
When lands are solo. at tax sale
and the purchaser enabled to Obtain
a full and complete title, there will
be purchasers, and plenty of them,
and if yon delay too long you may
