In the notice Of election issued by the
recently appointed parish returning Off
Ger aud dated Nor. II, 1892, it is an
nounced that j ndge and a district at
torney for the cterenN Judicial district
are to be elected on April 10, but nothing
is said Of the election Of such officers Tor
the 18th judicial district, of which this
parish forms part. And DO reference
whatever is made in said notice to the
fact that several amendments to the
Constitution are to be voted on at said
election. These mistakes may be unin-
territorial, but the selection OF a large
majority of the commissioners Of elec-
ton from one Of the factions OF the
Democratic party and the complete Or
almost complete ignoring Of the kepub--
Iicans, wien the law requires that all
parties shall be represented, shows a
deliberate purpose by the leaders OF the
local ring to take net only an unfair but
an unlawful advantage for tie combine
candidates at the polls.

The compilation of the vote for the
rival Democratic State tickets by the
Committee Of Seven, in New Orleans,
had not been completed at last accounts.
The most sensational incident in the
sessions Of the committee, which has
been hard at work since Monday, was
the discovery of an attempt of the Jos-
terites in Sabine parish to count 100
more votes for their candidates than
were cast The fraud was so plain that
the committee unanimously agreed to
leave them out. Several frivolous con-
tests have been filed in OgleaUs and
other parishes, and this is what delays
Il decision from The committee. There
is not tie rcmotest probability that Fos
ter will he counted in and the will of
the majority thereby OEArthrown; but
it is exasperating to see his friends 'lag
Cling over the matter as they are doing,
when only one conclusion seems ineyi-
table.

| The committee 0t seven, which has
| charge Of tie tabn!atiOu aud pTOmul ga
| ton OF the vote glVCn at Tie late pri-
mary election, Is now actively at work
cauVasslng the returns, auH las already
examined, passed upon ana counted the
vote Of a Dumbur oI parishes. IlltSe
official figures. which we give else
where, fully substanIjafe aud viDdIoate
the table published i'll the Iim"s-D@m-
Ucrat a few days ago, aHu Which gave
McEnery majority OF 1921. A few
sHnall errors have been discovered here
and there, which, however, offset each
other. In some of the parishes McEn-
ery's majority us given by us is one, two
aud, in. one Case, six less than We gave
it, the total differences against McEu-
cry being ii. On the other hand, the
Foster majority i'll Catah0ula is 25 less
and the errors in favor OF McEnoTy
amount to IS; that is, the official figures
Of the D1li5I!es that have been examined
show Fosters vote to be IS less than
our table had given him. The total net
difference ID these parishes is, there
fore, 80, indicating, il our other figures
are correct, a majority Of 11J9, instead
of 1927, Tor McEnery. It will thus be
seen tIlat the official figures tend to in
crease instead OF cut down his majority.
At the same time we would note that
the official count shows little variation
from that given by Tho Times Demo
crat, and the difference will not exceed
100 in II total vote Of nearly 10000, or
less than ODe-tWentieth of / per cent.
With few precincts yet to be Off
cially heard from, the total vote at the
primaries last Tuesday was S7,791,
OF which McEnery received 44,G59, or
51.1 per cent, and Foster 43,O32, or 48,9
per cent.
The only objection the Fosterites
have raised is that Mrllnery's majority
is Tot us large as his supporters expect
ed; but considering the manner in
which the election was held, and the
safeguards thloWn around it, it was
ample, and relatively larger than the
majority usually received. In the last
election the majorities
were proportionAtely much less in Con-
necticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan and number OF other States
than that given McEnery Tuesday, yet
no one thought of questioning any Of
these results on the grOnnd that the ma
jorities were not large enough.

BtIctin NO. l.
The past week, with the exception of the first
Two days, has been warm and cloudy with
abundant and well distl tlbuted rains over both
scctiOnS
Reports continue gloomy, and willie the early
Irish potato crop has been nearly destroyed
and much damage done early fruits and veyc-
tables, il is evident that the effects Of the freeze
last week has net proved as disastrous as anti
Cipdtcd
The early part OF the week was devoted to
rCp:antinm corn, which under tie influence
of the recent warm showers is coming up
nicely. The wet weather Of tie latter part of
the week caused u general suspension of all
outdoor work, thereby interrupting rice and
cotton planting. but with favorable weather,
work on these two crops will begin next week.
Information received from correspondents to-
day sustain previous reports as to the COM
paratigoly slight damage done to cane. The
plant cane was cut down, but is beginning to
spring up rapidly.

Tie members of The Board receive no
remuneration for their services. The

of them, have performed their duties
to the best of their ability and with an
eye single to the public good. With

consented to serve the people another

our appreciation and our gratitude, as
well as our practical good sense, by CIV

''is as favorable as we have any right
