The State Election.

The election is over, the returns in
and the law officers for the next four
years, in Louisiana are chosen.
Looking over the field, no reason to
condemn the action of the voters on
April %, 1884, is perceptible.
The citizens who have found favor,
and been elected will compare favor
! ably with any set of officials who have
been chosen during the last twenty
/ five years, in this State
The election was more peaceful and
quiet than any one that has taken
place, in Louisiana, since 1861. In
many parishes both white and colored
men united in supporting the same
ticket composed of the best men in
either party. The satisfaction gene
rally expressed, with a majority of
nearly fifty thousand, indicates that the
voters of Louisiana are contented.
Some useful lessons may be learned
by this fact.
A few disaffected writer's, in some
newspapers, attempted to inaugurate
campaign of SANDER and villifcation,
and searched the vocabulary of abuse
to cry down one of the candidates for
the chief magistracy of the State
How much faith the voters put in the
authors of those calumnies is found in
the triumphant election of that candi-
date by majority unprecedented in
the history of political campaigns in
Louisiana.
The Democracy of Louisiana are not
to be led astray by the assertions of
few disaffected men, unaccompanied
by facts to sustain them.
Another fact is discovered, that
while few claqueurs have endeavered
to make it appear that the Democracy
was divided, that thousands of Demo-
Gratis were voting the Republican tick
ct, fifty thousand majority proves that
the Democratic voters of Louisiana are
one solid, compact, and disciplined
body, against which opposition in any
and every form, may lash and beat it
self in vain.
The administration has been grand
ly sustained. Let it continue four
years longer, as it will, in the good
work it has been doing, and prosperity,
peace and happiness may be anticipa
ted as the ruling destiny of our State.
Well, "the child has been christened
and his name is jake" Louisiana once
more unfurls the banner of Democracy
triumphant to the breezes.
Gov. McEnery and the entire State
ticket is elected by majority of 30,
900.
The campaign of malice and slander
has been rebuked, by the people of
Louisiana, in. a. triumphant and un-
precedented majority. The Senate
and House of Representatives, Dem
ocratic by large majority, will insure
the continuation of the excellent and
,judicious administration of the present
Governor.
Honor to the Democracy of Louisiana!
All honor to the thousands of colored
voters who have finally abandoned
the false leaders, who have been drag
ging and pulling them by the nose for
fifteen years, and placed themselves in
the ranks of their true and sincere
friends. Thibodaur Sentinel.

Vermilion River.

First appropriations, 1880. A navi-
gable channel has been obtained in a.
bout fifty miles of the river by the re-
moval of snags, rocks, and overhang-
ing trees, and a channel open to YER
million Bay at the mouth of the river.
The Improvement benefits the COM
merce of Vermilionvllle, Abbeville and
the surrounding country.
The above is an extract from state
ment lately prepared by the officials of
the Treasury Department. The De-
partment and Major Stickney were
shamefully imposed upon, regarding
that improvement. The government
money was squandered and resulted
in scarcely any benefit except to the
contractors. Some overhanging bushes
and trees were removed, but the rocks,
if any ever existed, are there yet, as
well as the snags, also, logs and trees
in the bed of the river. We have re-
ferred to these notorious facts before,
but it seems official errors and blum
ders are never corred ed. Lafayette

BalI of the 25th April,

ZEN BY THE YOUNG LADIES OF oPELoUsAs
Escorted to the Leap Year Ball,
Each handsome gallant went
To Perrodin's new hall
As if by magic sent.
Though flowers all against the wall
There not one long did stay,
Till fairer sex did on them call
For dance to almost day.
A delightful lemon punch
By ''SouIouque" well served out,
With cake, proved dainty lunch
For all, both in and out.
So, as each set was ended,
They sought the flowing bowl,
And toasts were oftimes rendered
To cheer the young meme soul.
They were wooed both right and left
By the ''fairest of the fair
Twas said they couldn't rest
Or reach the calm pure air.
One bashful swain said "don't
You go and see my mother"
A second said 81 won't!
NY heart is with another"
We closed grand quadrille--
A little this and that,
And lemonade did swill
Til we spilled our cravat.
The faster Local ran
And quicker turned about,
This light-foot female van
The sooner s.elosed him out"

enterprises.
