Beattie's Boohoo.

Judge Taylor Beattie who led the
~forlorn hope Of Republicanism in the
last Congressional race against Hon.
Andrew Price, has filed his notice of
contest. Among the many reasons
why he was not elected, he alleges
that in this parish owing TO the dis.
tribution of circulars detailing the
attempted assassination of Captain
G. T. Cade, and the consequent Gin
timidation" of voters he lost 1000
votes. In all things there is q limit,
and when a man attempts too much
he generally makes a rank failure.
So it is in this case. Elections in
Vermilion have always been proven
hally fair and honest. No suspicion
has aver been attached to them, and
for Judge Beattie or any other mar
to make such charges stamps him as
a knave or an idiot. Every negro
who wanted to vote did so. The
white people of this parish are not
the kind to be bulldozed. Beattie
could not have gotten 10 votes more
in the parish unless tie Lord had
seen fit to work a miracle. The vote
was an unusually large one,
and it is idle to suppose that the
Republicans should have received
them all, and that would have been
necessary in order to give Beattie
l 900 votes more.

Up HIS SLEEVE.
BelieHcd Salisbury May Spring
Surprise.
Feared Venezuela May Have Con-
cealed Something.

WARRINGTON, ID. c.. Dee. Il 1T is the
calm after the storm in the Venezuelan case.
The financial situation has completely re.
placed the Monroe doctrine rs Il topic of on
verSttion in thu capitol.
1t Il admitted by members Of the admins
tration who have given careful study TO the
question, that the commission may iinl /,
impossible to tiN Il divisional line between
British Guiana and Venezuela. 1t Is consid-
cred a curious circumstance that thcr
Venezuela nor Great Britain has ~ yet pro-
duced transcripts Of the recorts now sup
posed to be in the archives at The Hague
and at Madrid.
There is an uncomfortable feeling here
that the Nenezueans may have concealed
some facts relating to their evidence, or tia,
they have not investigated their title MS clear.
ly as they should have done. There is also
just Il bare suspicion that Lord Salisbury has
some surprises in store for this government
concerning the evidence which his agents
found ut Madrid.
1t is remembered that in his note Lord
Salisbury mentioned briefly the records
found ut the Spanish capital but did not give
copies of them or do more than to say in II
general way that they upheld the British
contention. 1t is surmi>ed that he has by
this time carefully examined those records,
and from them adduced a pretty strong sup
port OF the claim that the western limit of the
Dutch possessions is at the Ornoco and not
at the Essequibo.
If Lord Salisbury is now at work upon II
second communication to this government, as
is limited in the dispatches from London. it
Is believed this new evidence forms the topic
OF his note. TO have the facts ascertained by
Il competent tribunal is all that the United
States has contented for. and the method and
resul: will be the same us if the investigation
were made by u board of arbitration to which
Great Britain had asscnted. If all the terri
tory belongs to Great Britain, Great Britain
shall have It, If any part Of 1t belongs to
Nenez lela no foreign power shall take it from
Venezuela by means OF force, without trouble
with the United Stntns.
