Political Frauds.
Alexandria Democrat

New Orleans has recently had hume
rous trials in both the State and Federal
Courts for ballot-box stuffing and
frauds in elections.
Back IN the days of radical domina-
ton in this State it was hardly possible
to take high moral grounds upon the
question OF fraud in elections. The
people were openly defrauded by such
cunning devices as Returning Boards,
Supervisors of Registration and the
other methods employed by the Radi-
calls to stifle the public voice, and there
was some show of reason in Fighting
the Devil with fire." but even then the
practice of stutfing ballot boxes and
falsifying the actual result at the polls
was of doubtful propriety and certainly
was obnoxious to good morals and VIC
lative of fair play, as it assurediy was
destructive of political liberty.
However that may have been, the
excuse upon which the practice was
founded no longer exists and it the Re-
publican institutions OF this country are
to continue as safeguards to ourselves
and blessings to our posterlty we must
have elections which shall be free
from the faint of fraud and the stuffing
of ballot boxes. The State, and all OF
its departments, is in the hands of the
people and there is no opposition to the
continued control of the Democratic
party, and to apply to elections now
held the methods of the past is criminal
and suicidal. There is no material diff
ference in fact between the robber who
steals my purse and the one who robs
me of the influence to which my ballot
is fairly entitled, either by taking it out
and substituting another OF by over
whelming it with the fraudulent addi-
ton of ballots not cast. II there be a
difference it is in favor of the holder
thief who takes the money which affects
me only and against the one who pur-
loins my freedom of choice and thereby
affects the whole body polite.
We are told that in the days of the
decadence and downfall of the Repub-
lie of Rome the condition of affairs had
become so corrupt and disgracefnl that
tables and booths We're kept by political
brokers where votes were openly bought
and sold at so much for each. They
had not then discovered the much more
cheap, expeditions and satisfactory plan
of stutfing the ballot boxes, or changing
the record Of the virG uoce votes as they
were then cast. We have improved the
antiquated methods of the past and
there is nothing so easy as to take out
one hundred votes which have been
cast, from Brown and to pat in one
hundred for Jones that have not been
cast, provided always that the people
will stand idly by and see the fraud
perpetrated and quietly submit when
the fraud is, finally contaminated ny
Jones holding the Office to which Bro. in
was fairly elected and receiving the
to which Brown was hon
estly entitled.
Unless we mistake the temper of the
people they do not propose to submit
any longer to such frauds. A free bal
lot and a fair count is their watchword
and they are determined to have a fair
election next time cost what it may. II
the Courts are powerless and will not
convict. the rascals who commit frauds,
it may be necessary for the people to
take. the punishment in their own
hands.

The meaning of the recent leyee con-

levee fund this money could not be
used without an appropriation by the

purpose would cost a great deal Of
money! and the next regular session will

election next spring;in the meantime
another overflow may happen for lack
of levees the money is there to pay for

understanding or expectation that the

will appropriate the money on hand to
