Democracy i'm Louisiana.

After all the promises that the city Of
New Orleans and the State of Louisiana
should this time enjoy the novelty of an
honest electSn. the recent State election
was marked by the usual scenes of vio-
lence and ballot box stuliing. The In
spectors appointed for each polling
place in the city of New Orleans by the
Mayor. according to law. and the COM
missiOners appointed by the State Reg
istrar. were elected by force from the
polling-rooms all over the city as soon
as the polls opened in the morning;
and, during the riotous excitement at
tending these performances, the ballot
boxes were stuffed with the tickets Of
the regular Democratic faction. The
State Registrar being requested to in
t%erierc, ~ least so far US to call
upon the Governor to maintain
the law, declined to do anything
whatever about the matter. 1t is
alleged by the Independent Democrats
and Republicans that 1T least eight
thousand to ten thousand regular"
Democratic tickets were stuffed into the
ballot boxes in the city. Besides this
illegal performance. as the news came
in dusng the day of a surprisingly large
vote for the Republican nominee for
Governor in the adjoining parishes, not
4 single ward in the city of New Or
leans had its vote counted on the night
of the election By holding back the
count it could be seen whether it would
be necessary to stuff the city ballot
boxes some more to make q sure thing
of carrying the election; and. if neces-
sary, more votes could be added before
beginning the count. This is a speci-
