OHIO AND IOWA,

The elections held in these States on
Tuesday last resulted III sweeping Re
publican victories. So far as concerns
Iowa, this outcome was a foregone con-
clusiop, and hence no surprise is felt that,
notwiths landing the almost entire alb
sence of political excitement and the
usual concomitants of campaign, the
State has given a Republican majority
of about 1000.
Ohio, however, was regarded as close
State, and confidence was expressed by
tile Democrats that they would give
their opponents close RIB on the State
ticket and secure majority Of the Legls-
lature. A heavy temperance vote, drawn
mainly from the Republican ranks, was
looked for, and upon this expectation the
Democratic hopes were based. Returns
from two-thirds of the counties have en-
tirely upset this calculation. A net he
publican gain Of 1928 votes isshown, from
which it is estimated that Gov. Fosters
plurality will exceed 10000 and that the
Republicans will have about 33 majority
in the House of Representatives and in
the Senate. Darke county, which has
been reliably Democratic heretofore by
majorities ranging from 1000 to 1900, was
carried by the Republicans.

SUSPICIOUS MOVEMENT.

Reports have reached us of a movement
on foot on the left bank Of the river in
this parish to form an association among
the colored laborers on sugar plantations
with the avovcd object of inaugurating
q strike for higher wages. We under
stand that the originator of the scheme
proposes to collect an initiation fee of 81
from each person joining, which is osten-
sibly to be placed in some safe depository
as fund to be used in employing conn-
sci or otherwise aiding the object of the
strike. Without possessing very specific
information relative to this scheme, we
feel safe in predicting that all who take
part in it will have cause to regret their
action. Not only is the season a very in
auspicious and unfavorablo one for at
tempting a strike, the crop being short
and many planters not intending to grind
at all, but the very nature of the move
ment and the exaction of fee from the
members is sufficient to cover it with sns-
picon. Laborers who consult their best
interests and desire to save their money
will lie chary Of embarking in such a
venture. We shall say more on this sub
jcct when we obtain further information
relative thereto.

ELECTIONS THIS FALL.

The suhjoined memorandum Of this
Falps elections will be found interesting
for reference:
Ohio and Iowa last Tuesday voted for
State officers and members of tie Legis
lature.
On Tuesday, the 9Th of November, cleo
lions will be held in Colorado, Maryland,
Massachusetts,, Minnesota, mississippi,
Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Penn
sylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin, most
Of these choosing full State tickets and
Legislatures. In Colorado the location
of the Capital is to be decided, with the
chances in favor of the selection of Den
yer. In Nebraska the proposition Of
woman's suffrage, is to be voted upon.
Virginia and Wisconsin will determine
whether the sessions Of their Legislatures
shall be biennial Or annual; and in Min
nesota some question regulating legisla-
tive action is to be settled by the popular
vote. Legislators elected in Iowa and
those to be chosen in Minnesota and
Mississippi will elect United States Sena-
tors at their next sessions to succeed
Senators McDill, Edgerton and Lamar
respectively, while the State Senators
to he elected il New Jersey will partici-
pate in the selection Of a successor to
Senator MACPHERSON in 1893.

GOV WII,TZ DYING

Our apprehensions with relation to the
condition Of Governor Wilt have been
realized to the utmost, and it is now
publicly acknowledged by the New Or
leans press ard the most intimate friends
Of the Governor that he is on his death
bed and likely to expire at any moment.
ted by a persistent and distressing cough,
he is SO weak that the slightest exertion
causes a fainting spoil, and tie attend
ing physicians say he is liable to pass
away during any Of these swoons, which
occur several times day. The condi-
ton of his stomach and digestive organs
is such that lie can take and retain but
very little nourisllment, hence it is in
evitable that he should be constantly
growing weaker.
In all probability, before the next
number of the CHIEF is issued the people
Of Louisiana viii be called upon to
mourn the death Of their highly es-
tecmed young Governor. 1t is sad to
contemplate the impending affection
and to think Of the heavy blow it will be
to those nearest and dearest to the dying
man. Let us hope that they will be
imbued with the same spirit of fortitnde
and resignation with which he calmly
awaits the moment Of dissolution. lie
thoroughly appreciates his situation and
knows that tie end of life is at hand,
but he bctrays no emotion of fear and
no anxiety for himself, exhibits solicit
tude in the welfare Of those around him,
and treats his attendants with a gentle
courtesy and kindlincss that illustrate
the true nobility Of his nature.

TIFF SENATE.

The National Senate assembled in spe-
cial session on Monday last, pursuant to
the proclamation of President Arthur.
Senator Thomas Francis Bayard of Della
ware was nominated for President. The
Republican members, under the lead Of
Senator Edmunds, sought to have.the
election deferred until the three new
Senators, Messrs. Aldrich Of Rhode Island
and Laplam and Miller of New Yor k,
should be sworn in and take their seats,
but the Democrats refused to concede
the point, and having majority of two
votes, they elected Mr.. Bayard, the
Republicans voting for Senator Anthony
ofRhode Island.
l.. Q. Washington, Esq, was then
elected Secretary. He is a we'll know Il

of the Senate. Objection was made by
a Democratic Senator to the immediate
consideration Of the resolution, and

Last week the West Fcliciana Sentinel
expressed the hope that the Democratic
Senators would unite on David Davis as
their choice for presiding officer, as g he is
able, independent and honest, and doubt
less lis election would please the whole
country" Unexpectedly, the Sentiaers
candidate has been chosen, but by the
votes Of Republican Senators instead of
Democrats. We hope this unlocked for
circumstance will in no wise tend to
modify the high opinion our contem
porary has expressed of Judge Davis.

LYNCH LAW.

In our State news column mention is
made of the whipping and shooting to
death, by mob, of a man incarceratcd in
Jail at Jeannerette, St. Mary parish, on a
charge Of chicken stealing. The Jail was
forced open and the prisoner taken ont
and flogged. According to one report the
petty malefactor was then hanged, but an
other and more probable version is that he
broke away from his prosecutors and was
shot down while attempting to escape.
This is properly characterized by the
Iberia papers as a brutal murder, having
no shadow of justification, and for the
good name Of the parish in which the
,lastardly crime was committed, it is to
be hoped the cowardly perpetrators will
be fcrreted ont and punished. The dispo-
ston of irresponsible mobs to supercede
the laws and constitute themselves judges,
inres and executioners, is a crying evil
and disgrace to our country that every
good citizen has an interest in suppress
ing.
Those who are disposed to approve of
or wink al the methods Of Judge Lynch
in cases where the victims have commit
ced great crimes and there is no doubt of
guilt, should be warned by the Iberia
occurrence that the precedent is
dangerous one under any circumstances
and ought not TO be tolerated. Our
government is one of law and order
every violator of its laws is, in greater
or lesser degree, public enemy and the
men that break into prison to kill Or
maltreat defenceless captives-who are
entitled to judicial trial and are
presumed to be innocent until proven
guilty-must be ranked with the worst
classes of law breakers and deserve
punishment accordingly.
