A PEA CEABLE ELECTION.

This is the general verdict rendered
by the press of the district. Peace
and quiet reigned everywhere on
election day, and no disturbance is
reported from any quarter, saw and
except the shooting at Franklin of
Jacobs, who sought the difficulty.
The voters came and went as they
pleased on election day and cast their
ballots for whom they please, and yet
our Republican friends, because they
did not get a majority of the votes,
cry out fraud, ~bulIdozing and intimi-
datiOn.
1t is hard to believe that Republi-
can leaders are sincere in this matter.
They must know, if they only kept
their wits about them Oh the day of
election, that many colored men
walked up to the polls and openly
and freely deposited their votes for
MIR. Price. They know, too, that
many OlOfed voters abstained from
voting, not from fear Of bodily
harm, as they allege, but from sheer
disgust at the naughty and disdain-
full treatment their race received at
the hands Of Mr.. Minor and his fol-
lowers. The negroes here are to he
commended for the manhood they
showed in rebuking the man, who.
while asking their favors, vet spat
upon and condemned them.
Here is a sufficient explanation for
the paucity of Mr.. Minors votes.
without having to cry fraud and bull
doing to account for his overwhelm-
ing defeat.

Mr.. Minor is reported as having
expressed his indecisiOn as to whether
he will contest Mr.. Prices seat. 1t
is just here where the trouble lies !:
Mr.. Minor does not rely enough upon
himself i'll matters that mostintimate-
ly concern him. If he were left to
his own prediction in this affair and
to act on his own judgment and COM
mon sense. he would no doubt, already
have announced his decision not to
set himself up against the will of the
people. We believe him to be a gen
tleman with Southern instincts and
aspirations, who would not be likely
to try to harm the people of his State
but, the misfortune is, that he possess
es a vacillating mind and is liable to
be influenced against the peoples
and his own good by designing and
INSCRIPTIONS men, with their axes to
grind.
He is already reported as having
consulted the notorious j. Hale Sy-
pher about his case; and this, too,
after he had spurned and snuhbed
ex-Gov. Warmoth who is perhaps not
as bad as the alleged ex-Congressmam
from Louisiana.
MI. Minor could sincerely exclaim:
"Oh! Lord. deliver me from my
trends; and ! will take care of mine
enemies. s

NATROCIOUS ChI.IIE.

The, parish Of Lafayette has again
heen the scene OF IN atrOciOuS crime
atsthe hands OF the regulators. A band
of lnas;scd men arnled with rites and
other deadly weapons, surrounded the
house of an old negro by the name of
RoStmond Cormier, in the dead hours
OF night, and demanded admittance
which was refused. immediately they
tired into the house, yolley after vol
hey. Then one Of their number, John
Judirn. Il Young man of thirty years,
made bold to force in an entrance /:
and no sooner had he wrenched the
door from its hinges, than Cormier
empticd Il load of buckshots into him,
killing him instantly. Then others
attempted to enter and Cormier fired
another shot and ran for his life. He
WAS over.lken and shot to death, his
head being crushed in, 10 make assur-
ance doibly sure. His Is year-Old
daughter WAS. Notwithstanding her
pleadings and entreaties for life, most
hrutally and foully murdered, her
throat being cut from ear to a 1t is
Supposed she was made away with,
that she might not come up as a wit
ness to avenye her fathers wrongs.
According to advices. Il shiver of
horror has gone through Lafayette and
neighboring parishes and a justly in
censed PEOPLE d%enounces i'll nnmeas-
ured terms this last act of barbarism.
The sheriff of Lafayette is working up
the case aud leaving no stone unturn-
ed to bring the guilty parties to con
dign punishment. 1t is relieved that
there are some others of the band be-
side the unfortunate John Judice who
have been made to feel the weight of
leadcn messengers. Others
are believed to have been seriously
wounded.
1t has been stated that prominent
citizens of Lafayette who are suspect
ed of belonging to the so-called regu-
lators deny that that organization had
anything at all to do with the trans
action and that if there were any
regulators in the band, they we're
there as simple individuals and not as
agent of the organization. If this be
true, so much the better for that or
ganizatiOn but, be this as it may. the
perpetrators of this fiendish deed
should not go unwhipped Of Justice.
The preservation Of our institutions
demands it !: and if, as it is claimed, it
was not authorized by the s~o-called
regulators, these then owe it to them
selves to help the authorities clear tie
mystery and bring to light and merited
punishment the criminals.
We shall await with interest the
further developments of this most un-
accountable but atrocious crime.

Blood Counts in the Market.

The highest prices in the public
markets are paid for the blood that is
the most fashionable, and fashion
shapes itself upon the showing of the
records. The recent phenomenal
prices paid for ultra-fashionable blood,
and the high fees freely given untried
sires of ultra-fashionable breeding,
have caused many to fear that boom,
an unhealthy imitation, is prevailing in
the trotting horse business. and that
prices will not stand. We do not think
that the time will ever come when the
cream of trotting blood will not sell
for princely prices. The cream never
bears a very large proportion to the
milk-there is never enough of the
very best to go around. Fashion
will shift in accordance with the
shifting fortunes Of the turf, but will
always rest on lines that perform
and produce generation after genera
ton. The high prices paid for the
service of young and untried sires sim
ply means that the breeding public be-
lieye that we have reached a point
where we are breeding horses so close
ly and intensely in trotting blood that
their pedigrees are a guarantee that
they will sire trotters. The whole les
son of the records is to stick close to
tested performing and prodrcing-lines,
and the breeder who patronizes young
and untried sires should require of him
the ability to perform creditably, com
bined with blood on both lines that has
met the test in the stud. The best
guarantee that young horse will get
trotters is that he is trotter himself
and comes from a sire and dam that
were trotters and producers of trotters.
Using the blood of such horse is fol-
lowing tested lines. and therein rests
the cornerstone of successful breed
