Tax Louisville Courier-Journal says
the trouble in Florida with Republi
can# Is that tbe Democrats have been
kicking their Stearns.
It is stated that Mr. Stoughton,
whom Grant has requested to go to
New Orleans, is the only lawyor in
New York olty who defended as con
stitutional and legal tbe proceedings
by which Grant and Sheridan over
threw the people’s government of
Louisiana in 1874. He Is one of Grant’s
"fair and candid men.’’
The Indianapolis Journal, Radical
paper, says that the President has
asked iiesars. Garfleld, Logan and
others to “go to New Orleans on be
half of the Republican party." And
yet the New York Herald and othor
papers are deceived by his fair words
into the belief that he has sent them
to have an impartial and honest
count, and has sent the army only
for the same patriotic purpose!
Con. Acklen, the Democratic can
didate for Congress in the 3d District
of Louisiana, will contest the elec
tion of Darral, Republican. He will
show, among other things, that a
large number of negroes in Bt. Mary
parish, who wished to vote the Dem
ocratic ticket, were prevented from
doing so by Radical intimidation.
Radical strikers took away and tore
up their Democratic tickets aud
forced them to vote for Darral and
Hayes.

The St. Louis Republican says that
uot only Is Texas the most promising
State in the Union as a locality for
the production of cattle, sheep and
bogs, but R3 a wheat State it may
justly take rank as the banner State
of the Union, not even excepting Cal
ifornia. Thirteen counties last year
produced 10,000,000 bushels, and the
quality Is superior, Texas wheat is
more dense than wheat raised in Mis
souri. No. 1 weighs sixty-five pounds
per bushel, No. 2 sixty-four, and No.
3 sixty-one pounds. No. 1 Missouri
wheat weighs but sixty pounds to the
bushel.
——
Ghant’s selection of Logan and
Garfield as “candid” men to go to
New Orleans to see to the counting
of the vote of that State, was bad
enough. Rut the appointment of
Judge Cart tor, of the District of Co
lumbia, exoels them all in its parti
san ebarheter. Judge Cart ter has
long been known as a ready co-opera
tor with the Radical party in its un
scrupulous work, and has made him
self somewhat notorious by his judi
cial action to hinder Investigation
and exposure of Radical corruptions.
Kellogg, Packard & Cos. will find him
a ready man at New Orleans.
A dispatch from New York an
nounces that Judge Westbrook, on
Monday, granted Beecher’s motton
for a change of venue in the case of
Moulton against him, from Brooklyn
to Delaware county. Mr. Moulton
thereupon discontinued his suit. The
suit was for malicious prosecution by
Beecher in the former libel suit, and
the damage claimed $50,000. Beecher
plead that he oould not get justice in
Brooklyn on account of adverse and
prejudicial public sentiment, and
therefore he asked the change of
venue. Moulton’s counsel resisted
the motion on the ground of the in
creased expense of taking so many
witnessed, &c., to Delaware county.
This first receipt of new Louisiana
sugar at New Orleans this year was
on the sth inst„ from the parish of
St. Martin. It classed strictly fair,
and soid at.iogc,, which is l|c. higher
than that obtained for the first hogs
head of last year. The limes says:
"The yield, as tar a3 learned, is sat
isfactory in every section; old stub
ble giving a hogshead and a half to
the arpent on the coast, which is ah
unusually good turn out at the be
ginning. The prospect is, from pres
ent indications, remarkably fine, not
only for a good yield, but for good
quality, good price, and economy in
raking off the crop. The increase of
at least a cent per pound in the price
is very encouraging to the planter.
The yield of molasses will not be so
great, but the quality will bo better
than usual.”
Ami (Samuel arose and went to EU and
said: Here I urn, lor thou didst call me.
And he (Eli) answered, 1 called not, my
son; lfe down attain.--'l.Saro.tii, 6 .-.iionl
gomery Journal
Ell, though doubtless a much better
man thau his imitators of the present
day, had constituted himself a sort of
returning board to prevent Samuel’s
promotiou. He knew that the Lord
had threatened to visit his house with
wrath on account of the iniquity of
some of his family, and he dreaded a
pure succession. He told Samuel that
he had not been called, os quoted by
the Journal. But we find the sequel
In the Bth verse of the same chapter.
"And Ibo Lord called Samuel agaiu the
third time. And he arose and went to EH,
and said Here am I; for thon didst call me.
And EU perceived that the Lord had called
the child."
If the Journal will read a little
further, it will see that the first reve
lation which the Lord made to Sam
uel, His newly chosen prophet, was
that He would forevet banish Eli and
his house for their iniquities. The
promotion of Samuel was followed
by the downfall and punishment of
the house of Eli; and thus was veri
fied the prophecy of Hannah, the
mother of Samuel, when she sang at
his birth;
“The bows of the mighty men are
broken, and they that stumbled are gird
ed with strength. They that vxtrr full
liave hired themsclve out for bread, and
they that were hungry ceased,” 18am,
11, 4, 5.
THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
We regard the telegraphic news of
yesterday as encouraging and hope
ful. The Democrats of Louisiana
appear to have ascertained beyond
all doubt, and from foil returns, that
they have a,majority of over 8,000 for
Tllden, and near 9,000 fof Nioholls,
according to the votes received by
the supervisors. Then the reported
Radical proposition in South Caroli
na, to "count” the vote of that State
for Hampton and Hayes, is a virtual
admission of defeat in both the Gu
bernatorial and Presidential election,
for we know full well that the Re
publicans of South Carolina, backed
by both the State and tbe Federal
Government, would not surrender
anything which they could claim
with any show of reason. In addi
tion to this, the ready acquiescence
of tbe Democrats of New Orleans in
the supervision of the count by men
of all parties from all sections of the
Union, shows their earnest confi
dence and assurance that their cause
will bear the closest scrutiny.
But, though we dow have a better
aesuranoe that the triumph of the
Democratic party will be clearly
shown, we should not delude our
selves with the belief that the Re
publican party will give up its hold
on power without having first ex
hausted all its resources to retain It.
A defeat now is a death-blow to the
Republican party of the United
States. In our old political contests
between the Whig and Democratic
parties, each, when defeated la a
Presidential eleotion, gave way grace
fully and hopefully, knowing that it
would have a goed chance again with
in four years. But no such hope can
cheer the Radical party In defeat.
Before the next Presidential elec
tion the investigations by a Demo
cratic Congress and Executive Ad
ministration will unearth all the
corruption a.id profligacy now
covered up by Republican officials.
Before that time, too, the sectional
animosities springing out of the war
will have died out for the want of
fuel, aud by the’negroes of the South
becoming practically convinced that
they had nothing to fear from a Dem
ocratic administration. Radicalism
will be exposed and disgraced, aDd
deprived of the power to arouse pas
sions which now constitute its
only cohesive bond. Thus the party,
if defeated now, will bo utterly de
moralized and hrokeu up. It is
therefore making now its light for
continued existence, and we may ex
pect it to bo desperate and unscru
pulous.
THK lAllltim I'ONSPIKAC*.
The New Orleans Democrat be
lieves, os we do, that a conspiracy to
give the vote of Louisiana fraudu
lently and by force to Hayes has
been concocted, and that the Presi
dent is a Confederate with Kellogg,
Packard,Wells, et als.,in this scheme.
In its issue of Monday evening, it;
thus speaks of the situation in New
Orleans and the apparent purpose of
the conspirators:
At this moment the United States
Custom House is filled with United
States soldiers, and larger bodies of
troops set in motion by Grant’s order,
are converging upon this city, as If
it were a hostile capital or an insur
gent town. And with what purpose?
The President declares that his obi
ject is to preserve the public peace;
and to assure a fair count of the half
lots cast at the election. As far as
peace is concerned, there is no more
reason to send troops to Louisiana
than tosend troops to Vermont. There
has been no violence, no disorder j
and it is only in case of insurrection
which the State government cannot
subdue, or of invasion which the
State government cannot repel, that
the law authorizes the President
on the requisition of the Governor,
when the Legislature cannot be com
vened, to use the Federal army witbiii
the limits of a State. But apart from
this bold and flagrant violation of
law, and admitting the President’s
right to take military possession of a
State capital during, the oa&Yass of
the election returns, we have a right
to inquire, not only what his avowed
intentions may be, but what his past
conduct and his known opinions jus
tify in expecting at his hands. H>
says that he intends to assure a fai:
count of ballots actually oast. But
who made him a returning officer
who gave him a right to dictate as t >
the methods and processes of a Stat s
canvass? Soldi are are not countln ;
machines. Sheridan and Augur are
not arithmeticians and commission
ers of election. The results ofths
vote in Louisiana are as definitely
ascertained and as notoriously pul: -
lie as the results of the election ip
Vermont or Kentucky. The ballot
arc already couu ted just as they bavp
been counted in Massachusetts or
Indiana, and the authority for the
claim that Louisiana has voted far
Tilden is precisely the same as the
authority for the report that lowa
and Rhode Island have voted fcfr
Hayes. All that remains to be done
is for the board of “Returning Offi
ce ra,” so called, to compile the re
turns and announce the
Docs any sane man believe that
Grant intends to compel the "Re
turning Officers” to act fairly and
honestly in the discharge or this
duty ? Does any sano man believe
that if the returning officers resolve
to violate and nullify the vote of the
State, Grant's soldiers will interfere
to prevent the perpetration of the
outrage and the consummation of
the fraud? On the contrary, does
not every sane man know that tho'
soldiers are to be uosd to proteot the
"Returning Officers"ip thC'perpetra
tion of the outrage and the consum
mation of the fraud ? Except fpr
this purpose there is absolutely no
use for soldiers in Louisiana.

U, 1878.
Soon tbe focus of interest will be
the National Capital. The Centen
nial Exposition has closed; the re
sult of the election is known. In
three weeks Congress will assemble
and Washington will be alive with a
busy legislative and political life;
alive with the statesmen, politicians,
fashion, and the demimonde; alive
with social gayety—though there
will be less of this than there has
been for the last eight years. The
present administration with its loud
characterless cabinet, and retinue of
shoddy worshippers, is “in the sere
and yellow leaf.” They are one and
all desperately sick. The ides of
March! The political and sooial life
of Washington are intimately inter
woven, and, while the cabinet ladies
and those of the Bureaucracy will
make a desperate effort to go off with
a flourish of colors, music, and the
glitter that characterized the halcyon
days of Williams and Belknap, it
will be dismally laborious to appear
gay at their own funeral. On the
fourth of March they must turn their
faces from tbe marble halls and
asphalt streets of Washington, and
read their doom in the face of the
bronze goddess on tho dome of the
capitol. The great Michigander, re-
Downed Zach Chandler, cabinet cam
paign leader, and matchless organ
izer; Att’y Gen’l father Taft, distin
guished for a short but sweet career;
and P. M. Gen. Tyner, distinguish
ed for nothing, will make up an
Interesting little procession towards
the setting sun. Don Cameron, who
carves with the sword of his father;
Morrill, of Maine, demagogical Min
ister of Finance in tho interests Of
politics; Robeson, of the Navy, and
Fish, of Foreign Affairs, will deploy
towards the North and East, or, as
Cmsar would say, ail septriones et ori
mtuin. Gen. Grant, it is said, will
perlgrlnate the world after the fourth
of March. As for the lesser lights and
parasites they are the etc., ect., in an
auction list,too numerous to mention.
Among the Democratic oriflammes
of the recent campaign new brooms
figured conspicuously; they symbol
ized a desire for a more thorough re
form than could be hojwd for within
the Republican party; a change, a
clean sweep ;uothing short of this and
fumigation will purify our civil ser
vice. The whole thing is infected, it
must be reformed altogether. This
will cause much local distress, but
the surgery, though painful to indi
viduals, is kind and necessary for the
health of the nation. If a nation’s
right eye offends it, pluck it out. The
iUatreas will be lnflnitesmal compared
with that which the whole country
has suffered from the ruinous, waste
ful misgovernment that these people
have helped to create and uphold.
After the fourth of March there will
be a general emigration from Wash
ington. Many clerks have proprie
tary interests here, others have
bought property for which they have
ouly partly paid. It is safe to say
that they cannot now sell for much
more than half they gave. Some will
be able to rent or sell to those who
come in with the new Administra
tion, but the latter will not pay high
prices: they have not been educated
in the flush and shoddy school of the
present regime. They have been ac
customed to pay for their own furni
ture, stationery and postage stamps;
in short they are not used to travel
ing in the Government landaulet,
and they will not, cannot, give for
rents and board as much as the
dainty clerk and olerkess of the
present Administration. Then it is
helieved that the clerical force will
be still farther reduced. Mr. Ran
dall and the Democrats were thwart
ed last winter in their efforts to lop
off superfluous members, but the Re
publicans will no longer oppose,
since their personal and political
friends are no longer involved. The
path for Democratic economy will
be smooth, and this great, cum
brous, corrupt, civil force will be re
duced until the clerks will have
elbow room to work in, and each
one of them something to do. In
deed the reduction is a political as
well as an economical necessity.
The probable ousting every four
years of 90,000 office holders, with
half a million souls directly or indi
rectly dependent upon them, is a
strain and shock to which the coun
try can no longer be safely subjected.
At any rate the present clerical force
will go. If it will take my advice it
will go South and grow up with the
country. In Georgia they would
have the privelege of voting for Alex.
Stephens and Ben. Hill, or in Louisi
ana they might see how the Missis
sippi fiver and the Gulf of Mexico
are not tinged with the blood of
murdered negroes, nor the cross
roads adorned with genuine bloody
shirts and death’s heads.
The closing session of the 44th
Congress promises to be one of un
usual interest; it is not improbable
that it may have to decide the result
of the election, and a bill will doubt
less be introduced to decide elections
in the future by the popular vote and
thus relieve the country from such
anxiety and confusion as that to
which it is at present subjected.
Mr. Blaine has bid adieu to the
House over which he so long pre
sided as chairman, and which, when
he decended to the floor, he almost
succeeded iu converting into a bear
pit, "There will De no one left in
Itbica to bend his bow,” for Mr.
Butler will not appear until the first
session of the 45th Congress. From
present indications Mr. Blaine’s Sen
atorial glory will be ephemeral. Ex-
Senator Morrill, of Maine, wants the
l ™~—T :
j>laoe bank again, and his popularity
and influence in his native
State is second to that of no
man. In tbe Senate, If I
may predict, Mr. Blaine will
not shine. To speak .vulgarly, the
Senate is not his style. It is a wise,
dignified, deliberate body, prefering
argument to the Impudence of asser
tion, and meeting the libels of malice
with the truth of history. To say
nothing of Thurman, Bayard and
Ben. Hill (who will probably be the
successor of Norwood, of Georgia)*
he will be met there by that alert
compendium of stubborn statistics,
Senator Beck of Kentucky. On the
Republican side he will be eclipsed
by the much better man, abler and
more brilliant Senator, between
whom and him there has subsisted
a bitter feud since the time that
Jumes G. Blaine called Roscoe Conk
ling a turkey cock.
The coming winter will doubtless
be one of great activity and excite
ment at this political and social hub.
The accomplished administrative
resolution, and recent Centennial
travel through this city, havejoreated
an Interest in the National Capital
which we always feel.in the institu
tions that we have,seen or studied
either to admire or disapprove.
Many journalists have already re
turned, alert and ready for tho work
of supplying the demand for news,
and your correspondent will feel, as
he endeavors to hold up the mirror
to ever charging political and social
phases, that, to many, he will not be
describing “airy nothings without
a local habitation and a name.”

THE CALIFORNIA FRAI DM.
Thousands ot Illecal Votes.
luve.tlitHtlon nnd Orcul Eirtlrmrat.
By telegraph to the Chicago Time*.)
Ban Fhancisco, Nov. 11.—The Board
of Supervisors has ordered its Finance
Committee to thoroughly investigate
tho city elections. It is charged that
1,000 Republicans were illegally reg
istered; also, that several hundred
were colonized from the adjoining
Congressional district, which is large
ly Republican. Davis, Republican,
is claimed to have been elected by 2,-
500 owing to these frauds. It is possi
ble that Piper was re-elected. The Re
publicans claim tiie State by 900. It
is possible that this investigation may
change the result sufficiently to give
it to tho Democrats. Never before
in the history of California was so
much interest manifested. The above
action by the Board of Supervis
ors increases the excitement, and
centers it more on local affairs. Bu
siness is practically suspended, the
streets are thronged with a sea of up
turned faces, scanning the conflicting
telegrams on the bulletin boards of
the newspaper offices. The investi
gation was prompted by the unusu
ally large vote; the heaviest hereto
fore polled was 28,000; last Tuesday
42,500 voted; registration list closed
October 9th—since that time between
17,000 and 19,000 certificates of regis
tration have been issued. It is charg
ed that a large number of certificates
signed in blank were stolen from the
register’s office, and that at least 3,-
000 persona obtained certificates by
false swearing. In one precinct It is
shown by certificates that 50 persons
voted, claiming residence in a house
where only fonr people lived. In an
other 150 voted where not over 21
lived. A meeting was held at the
Mayor’s office, Mayor Bryant presid
ing, to adopt measures to investigate.
Geo. C. Gorman, Secretary of the Sen
ate, and United States District Attor
ney Coughlin, Republicans, appear
ed as advisers for the County Clerk.
A thorough canvass of these certifi
cates will be made by precincts, to
see if the parties voting thereon re
sided there. It will occupy several
weeks. The certificates, papers, etc.,
were locked up in the vaults of the
clerk’s office, guarded by tbe U. S.
Marshal and a member of the Board
of Supervisors.-
