Kew Oii-HAN^/ Nov. —Seven
polls were missing from the returns
before the board of fourteen, in east
Baton ltouge, leaving the count he
foxe the Board as follows: Tilden,
LICE;
den, 2,238; Hayes, 1,626, ascertain-
edlfroni the returns of the commiss
ioners. Afu;r,inuch discussion and
hn&ftr orinipitlint from thf iDepiocrau
of cast Baton Rouge they laid aside
the returns. The returns of fourteen
parishes are still missing. St.. Mar
tin’s parish is finished. The Demo
crats remonstrate that the returns
for all, except electors and Governor,
are examined and tabulated by clerks
in rooms apart from tlio board, and
they ask for a Democratic representa
tion on tlie clerical force to detect
errors and frauds.
With regard to the returns laying

There will be no scarcity of candi

is that the successful ones may be
honest and capable. For Clerk of

and Receiver, the race will be between
Dr. W. F. White and Weldon A.

men are very popular, and both have
many strong friends who will work

For Ordinary, the present incumbent
will find a competitor in the person of
Mr. Thrasher. I have heard of no

Newspaper men everywhere, for
several months, have been unusnally

They have expatiated at legntli upon

Tlie French Assembly.
There is something riielo-dramatic
in the French Assembly, which is
heightened by theatrical surround
ings, for the Capitol is a theatre of
ing those roads from New York the |Lo ui9 the Fourteenth’s construction.
Mystery was solved. The officers of The P^ette and first tier of boxes
the Northeastern Road having estab- » devoted exclusively to tlie use of
fished through rates, With the other the Deputies, arid constitute the floor
roads, your mercharits Send cotton to of the chamber. The stage fa closed
isrifei - „ anninw behind the first wings by a painting,
New York at a saving of fifty cents
per bale and get their goods at' re
duced through rates. Hence, they
can pay half a cent more for cotton
than heretofore and can sell goods to
pay for the cotton cheaper than here
tofore. The result is, that the planter
realizes half a cent iriore for his cot
ton and perhaps as much more is
saved to him in the price of the
goods ho buys. The farmers see flhis,
and- more cotton than ever before
will be marketed in Athens. In a
year or two the quautity will be
double what it was in 1875. It is
only necessary now for your ‘mer
chants, to establish a first class
wholesale business, in the leading ar
ticles of county consumption and
year trade is assured and your pros
perity established.
which serves as a background to the
lofty seat of-‘the President of the
Assembly. Before him rises up out
of the place of the ancient orchestra,
the tribune or pulpit where France
delivers alb her legislative speeches,
whether they-;be of fivo minutes’or
two hours’ length. The tribune is in
front and below the President of the
Assembly, in a position correspond*
ing to that of the Clerk’s desk in the
House of Representatives at Wash
ington. In the tribnne, the speaker’s
back is turned to the President of
the Assembly, whom he practically
ignores. He speaks directly to the
Deputies, addressing them as Mes
sieurs; and this way of speaking
straight to the hearers, incites to dis
turbance. It is a rule in the English
Bureaus, is conducted by tlie lYesi-
jdent of the Assembly, aided by the
tip-staffs arid' other subordinates.
Wlfeu a vote is taken in the chamber,
green urns, of classic shape, are car
ried around bv the tip-staffs, in which
each Deputy deposits his card, for or
against, as the case inky be. There
is a Ministerial bench immediately in
front of the tribune, where some of
the members of the Cabinet are al
ways to be fpund when tlie Assem
bly is in session. Each one, as in the
British Parliament, advocates and
defends the measures emenatlng from
the branch of government oyer which
he has charge. Furnishing nuts for
the Ministers to crapk, is called inter-
pelation. The defence of the general
policy j of the government is usually
confided to the ab’est speaker of the
Cabinet. In the American Congress
there are usually two divisions, al
though at tho present time, there arc
three; consisting of Republicans,
Democrats and Independents. In
France, there are lio less than five—
the Right, Right Centre, Left Centre,
Left, and Extreme Lett, or Radical,
often derisively called by its adversa
ries La NouoeUe Couche Socialc.
One or two ecclesiastics occupy seats
with the Right. ' The deportment of
some of the Deputies appears rather
light to American eves. They, bring
opera-glasses with them, and while
the body is in session, they stand up
with their back to the presiding offU
cer, and take a cool and lengthy sur
vey of the galleries, as spectators do
in the orchestra-stalls of the French
theatres.
