THE DIFFERENCES.

says tnaC WIilaui L III AeAIoS8 SeAsA
cate of election to congress was with
held for day only by Gov. McEnery,
in order to give Kellogg time to All
swer question of eligibility. Thls is
as 1t should be. It is not creditable to
the Louisianiaus that they could not
beat Kellogg at the polls, but it is bet
ter that he should take his seat than
that he should be kept out OF it by .
technica.ity. This remark applies to
tho case of Fort Pillow Chalmers as
we'll. No cheating"
Since reading the above we have seen
1t ststed that Mr.. Manning has refused
to accept the certificate against Gen.
Chalmers. This is also as it should be;
but where IN all this broa.i land is there
ono, just one, republican who would
have done as Mr.. Naming has done ?
They take all the, can get.
Louk ut tho Mclean Broadhesd case!
It 10 notorious, know wn of all men, that
the votes cast elected Broadhead, yet
on the technicality of an intormality OF
entry in the blanks OF two of the poll
hooks, DR.. Mclean was wiling to take
Col. Broadhead's seat in ccngrsss.
Look also at the oAse OF Colonel Van
Horn. when he appropriated The place
in congress OF the old hero, Shields!
Lock at Dyer taking the Office and
the emoluments ot;. Col. Swltzler!
Luck at Hayes. eomplacently SLING out
tho term OF Samuel j. Tildsn! Indeed
ws might extend this list indefinitely.
However, these are republican practices
and nothing better is expected. but
Gen. Chalmers has bsen . democrat,
and associated with men who condemn
such thimble-rigging ganes, and if there
IL any manhood left in him how he

Van H. Manning.
He, Chalmers, in tho last congress
was wiling to take the seat Of MIR.

cording to the strict letter OF the law ;
the ballots, many OF them intended for

opponent. true democrat, scorns to
take advantage OF the error. He prac-

There be victories which are worse
than defeats. Such is the victory Of
Geu. Chslmers. There be defeats more
glorious far than victories. Such is the
dersat of Van H. Manning.
