The result of the recent election
in Louisiana was a Democratic VIC
tory by 10000 majority; secured
after all the promises that had been
made that the law should be strictly
complied with, by the usual out
rageous exhibitions of bulldozing,
and the grossest frauds in the count
ing of the ballots, which despite the
outrages found their way into the
ballot boxes.

The accuracy of the news often
published by editors who do not
keep posted is well illustrated by the
following from the Prohibitionist OF

famous Morrison bill was lost in the
Senate by four votes" We venture
to suggest that Morrison would give
all his old boots if this was SO, but
unfortunately for him, his bill died in

are o before the committee on post
offices and post roads. Steps have been
taken to secure data on the subject upon
which to base a report. In the opinion
of members of the committee somo meas
ure looking TO the establishment of a
postal telegraph system will be favorably
reported this session. Mr.. Bingham who
was the head of the post office committee
last congress, and under whom postal re-.
form hourished, says he thinks it quite
probable that the Edmunds or some other
postal telegraph bill will be passed this
congress. He says doubtless the scheme
will meet strong opposition, but then all
great reforms meet opposition. He
strongly favors postal teloyraphy. If it
does not pas this congress It will come up
the neNt congress, and continuge to pre-.
sent itself until adopted, The last telo.
graph strike, it is thought, will greatly
nclp the measure in congress.
