NO PLAUSIBLE EXCUSE.

Vermillion Star: There can never
he any plausible excuse for not enact
ing an election law before the adjourn
mtnt of this session. We do not say
change the law, but enact new one
and forever erase from our statute
books that fraudulent pretext of law
which has so long disgracel them.
The democratic party has already
blackened its recold by not having
purged the statutes Of ii law which de-
feated honest government SO long, and
kept rascals and carpet baggers in Of
fee. No party, however honest their
administration of affairs, can expect
to command the respect and confidence
Of the people while the officers receive
their authority at the hands Of an in
fernal machine. To allow the present
miserable pretense of the law to re-
main as kind of spite work against
its formulators aud inventors, is cow.
ardly. 1t is too much like adopting
means which we abused Others for us
ing. The people are loudly demand
ing a law which will secure to them
honest elections, and the present leg
lslature must face the music.

BALLOT REFORM.

Attakapas Vindicator: Other things
OF vital Importance cry aloud for leg-
lslatIve energy and attention. The
purity of the hallot pleads in 20 un-
certain terms for recognition; and on
IT hangs the law and the prophets.
Ballot reform STANDS at the door of the
capitol at Baton Rouge knocking for
admlttance, and to deny her this is a
crime. The welfare and peace of this
great commonwealth hang dependent
ly on total revolution of the ballot
system Of the present. 1t is vicious,
crime provoking, dangerous and abso-
lutely destructive to our form of gov
ernment. The ballot should serve the
will of the people and the state as the
lightnings do the will of the Almighty.
No organization, however strong and
rich, can withstand the onslaughts OF
a corrupt ballot. Without revival
OF the Legislature to this fact, Louisi-
ana must perish in her own rotten
ness.

Baton Rouge Advocate: Perfect can

the opinion that Senator Cordilrs

franchising him if he should happen
to remove to Jefferson or to Rapides.
Under such law men who could not
vote IL the parishes requiring an edu-

the qualifications of citizenship are
