is not a solid Republican vote. nor
any where nearly approaching to it. .
Thousands of negroes, both in the
city of New Orleans and in the
parishes of the State, voted the straight
Democratic ticket from no corrupt
motive. and without a shadow of COM
pulsion or intimidation. And the rea-
son is simple enough. The leaders of
Louisiana Republicanism. in the light
of their antecedents when they were
in power here, do not inspire them
with confidenca Plain avafv-d Az
justice had no manner of show in this
State, under Republican Administra-
tons. whether for white man or
colored man; and this is fact which
recurs to the memory of the colored
voter with considerable force. when he
has once got rid of the idea of harm
intended to him by the Democracy
which the Republican self-seeker sedul-
ously impressed him with. 1t is I'M
necessary, therefore, for the radicals
North to put themselve&out of the way
to invent fraud or intimidation at the
polls in order to account for the enor-
nous majority by which the Demo-
cratic ticket was carried here; the vote
was an honest vote, whose sign ificance
is that the political views and the af-
filiations of the negro have undergone
and are undergoing an unmistakable
change.-M q. Star.

Some of the flowers had become disar-
ranged and Kate moved to the path between
the graves and stopped to rearrange them.
When she rose, Colonel Gardiner was
standing facing her. She saw his face
working with the strong emotion he felt as
he said, slowly, solemnly: "Dear, there is
that drawing US together that is stronger
than death and the grave. Will you trust
me with your life, as 1 would gladly lay
mine down TO pave your way to happinessl"
and for answer she clasped the hand that
was stretched to her across the grave.

The Presidents Honesty.

The Presidents veto of the bill for

went off to eat pie, and, leaving I'M

characteristic document full of the
Cleveland simplicity, candor and hon

considering such matters too small
for discussion by the President of the
United States. Contempt of small

elective offices ought to feel in every

is no detail of carelessness or of at

thinks too small for the attention of a
President sworn to uphold the consti-
tuition and the laws made in accord
ance with it When such questions
present themselves to him he presents
them to 1.-the plain. common people"
in forming his conclusion, and pre-
sents them in such a way that they
can not be misunderstood except by
partisans determined to misinterpret
them. He conceals no fact that has
come to knowledge The care he
takes to state every fact bearing on
any given case gives his vetoes and
other State papers n strength of their

papers of his predecessors. No Presi-
dent before him ever relied so little on
rhetoric; not one of them ever relied
so much on plain statement of plain
facts--St. Louis Republican.

Upon your countrys altar dear,
Your lives were freely paid
In sacrifice to Freedoms cause,
The ransom price was paid!
The blessings which your ardor bought
Breathe in the ba1my May.
And hallow with a chastened glow
The grandeur of the day.
The halo which around you shines
Shall, as the years go by,
Add luster to the deeds, which in
Our memories fondly lie.
We deck your graves with flowers, to-day

In token of the love we bear,
