ANTI PROPHECY.

The defeat of Pinchback and Her
wig, as delegates to the National
Republican Convention. At the State
Convention held at New Orleans on
the 18th inst, and the adoption Of
an anti-lottery plank in the platform,
recalls the prediction Of the antis,
that these Republican leaders would
control the convention in the inter.
est of the lottery, and based their
predictions upon the alleged fact
that he was = large stockholdcr in
the lottery.
The absolute inaccuracy Of this
prophecy leads to the conclusion
that the other predictions OF the
FOsterites will hit the mark in the
same way as in this instance. The
was ~ near the truth -
they have generally come.

Our farmers and planters who
have their rice and syrup on hand
yet are watching the market quota
tons with interest, and are ready to
ship at the first remuneratinc
prices.
We have never heard exactly how
much syrup Messrs. Koepp and
Peters made, but we know it passed
their expectations.
The cold weather and high water
we have experienced lately has been
very unfortunate to cattle and
sheep owners. Messrs. Pellaot and
Perrin lost over 80 head last week,
drowned in the Tchefuncta.
Judging from the smiles of our
merchants, they must be doing a
rushing business. They are al
ways crowded with customers. and
Galatas and Dendihger's bars are a
magnet to all.

ing fine business. Mr.. Jay has
just renovated his mill and is rum
ming now with the latest improve
ments, enabling that enterprising |
gentleman to fill his or ders on short |
notice, and to give the means Of a
livelihood TO great many men.
The Oulliber Bros. shipyards
have been very fortunate this sum-
mer, as great many boats from
Mississippi have been rebuilt by
that well-known firm, and as the
boat owners find their work as good
and cheaper than at the docks, it is
expected that the yards will have
steady work.

THE COUNT.

40 ascertain what way the cur
rent threats to ''count out" the reg
ular Democratic ticket could be car.
RED out, We have taken the pains to
examine the State election law. A
careful perusal Of its provisions
shows that fraud can be perpetrated
at the polls only by complete sets
Of partisan commission ers appoint
ed by PARTISAN returning officers,
acting In eahoot with partisan officers
Of election, chosen by partisan police
juries. Then the sheriff would also
have to be in the conspiracy to de-
fraud the people Of their rights, as
he appoints deputies who attend
the voting and who transmit the
returns and boxes to the return
ing officer and clerk Of court.
The returning officer, save the ap-
pointment Of the commissioners, per-
ff0ms no other function than to COM
pile the returns as they come from
the polls, and his compilation has
to be certified to as correct by
the clerk Of court, upon COMPARE
son with the returns. The
clerk Of court, besides, trans
mits TO the Secretary Of State one
Of the triplicate returns from each
poll, by which the latter officer can
verify the correctness Of the COM
pilstion Of the returning officer GER
tiled to by the clerk Of court. ANY
Justification Of returns or false COM
pilation BY the returning officer is
punishable BY heavy fine and inn
prisonment in the penitent!ary. |
Penalties are also provided for any
|raud committed by other officers.
The voting must be in public; the
BOX cannot be moved from its place
Ill the counting is over; and any
:itizen who desires it must be per-
nitted TO witness the count. Du-
ing the voting citizens can stand at
he poll and watch the voting from
to end. Therefore, if
here are vigilant citizens at each
oil, the Law enables them to pre-
ent fraud, even il al the commits
toner's and the election officers of
be parish were in cahoot to COM
lit fraud.
The sherinfs and clerks Of court
Re elected by the people ane we
n4gine that in many parishes these
Hers will be found opposed to the
erpetration Of fraud upon their
ll0w-citixens. Fraud then must
done by the commissioners ut the
Ills in full view of the public and it ,
II be the fault Of that public, from ]
'gligence or fear to watch, If fraud
perpetrated.
Proper preparations to sternly :
'saand strict compliance with the
y and punish fraud will ensure
