LOUISIAN A-THE VOTE.
FACTS AND FIGURES,
The total vote for Governor this
year is 160,224, or 13,000 more than
ever cast in Louisiana before. The
Radicals, however, are not satisfied
with this, and complain that voters
were kept away from the polls. Such
really was the case with white citi
zens in Lafourche, Terrebonne, Pla
quemines and this city to the extent
perhaps of 3,000 voters, who register
ed, desired to vote, went to the polls
and were refused their rights.
Iu Lincoln, Calcasieu, Claiborne
and several other parishes many
registered white citizens failed to
vote, because they foolishly insisted
our majority would be sufficiently
large without their ballot. Very few
of the negroes, however, threw away
their voting privileges, and the per
centage of negroes registered and
failing to vote is considerably less
than that or whites.
The smallest majority for any Til
den Elector is 7,643; "four Electors
have a majority of fi,24'.t, thereby
showing that 1,606 of those three
Electors tickets were voted in Con
cordia, and the Fourteenth Senatori
al District. Xicholls’mujority le 8,051*,
with ojfieial returns from ten parish
es yet to be heard.
The Democratic gains 7,756 over
the true vote of 1874, Radical gains
4.851; net Democratic gains 2,905. —-V.

Ex-Senator Gwinn, for many years
a member of the Senate, and a lead
ing politician for half a century,
thus explains the manner in which
the fraudulent scheme of the Hayes
ites will be defeated by the Democra
cy;
In answer to a question as to tiro
manner in which this right would be
exercised by the House if frauds were
attempted, Senator Gwinn said : The
votes are not counted by the Presi
dent of the Senate. They are mere
ly opened by him and then handed
to the tellers appointed by the two
houses who do the oountiog In behalf
of their respective bodies. The first
votes opened will be those, say of
Alabama. They will be handed to
the tellers and "counted without ob
jection. Next will come the votes of
Arkansas and California and Colora
do, etc., which will be opened and
counted in like manner. When the
votes of Florida are opened and hand
ed to the tellers, the House will, if
there be a taint of fraud upon
them, object to tho counting
of them aud they must be thrown
out. The same action will be
taken upon the votes of Louisi
ana and South Carolina if they shall
be fraudulently returned. Rut, as
the fair and well ascertained vote for
the two Presidential candidates
stand, the rejection of the votes of
even one State will prevent either
candidate from receiving a majority,
and under the Constitution the elec
tion of the President will be thrown
into the House of Representatives,
which will at once proceed to elect
Mr. Tiiden. You may depend upon
it, he said, that we will establish our
right to object to the counting of
fraudulent votes beyond cavil or con
tradiction.
When it is seen that we have the
power to defeat attempted frauds and
to make Mr. Tiiden President ip spite
of them, the idea of making false re
turns may be abandoned and the
Democratic majority allowed to pass
unquestioned. Some of these men,
said tho Senator significantly, have
hopes of a political future, and they
may shun so desperate a scheme
whereof the results or failure would
be so disastrous, and which they
must soon see, cannot by any possi
bility succeed.
The Square In the Center.
[From the Portland (Oregon) Standard.]
In the vicinity of Yamhill resides a
shrewd but illiterate old fellow, who
has amassed considerable in a small
retail business, notwithstanding his
entire ignorance of the lirst rules of
arithmetic. His accounts are kept
with a board and piece of chalk. His
memory is most remarkable, and a
language consisting of signs of his
own invention, is his way of keeping
debit and credit account. Some few
days since a customer called and de
manded his bill. He was told the
amount, which was rather more than
he had supposed, and asked him
what he had him charged with. The
merchant said “acheeee.” “Cheese,”
answered the customer, “I never
bought such a thing in my life. Let
me see the account.” The board was
shown, and behold a large circle was
visible. The customer laughed and
said, “I know now, ’twas a grind
stone I purchased.” “By George,
that’s so,” said Mr. Merchant, “I
forgot to make a square hole in the
middle.”

MINtTOI'N AN A NMAKE'S TRACK.
The only man of national reputa
tion upon the Louisiana Returning
Board is -1. Madiso.n Wells, who has
been its chairman since 1873. The
national reputation of J. Madison
Wolls is not such as to encourage the
1 hope that the proceedings of tho
I Board will be guided by honesty, or
even by a docent regard for the ap
| pearanco of honesty.
J. Madison Wells wus Governor of
Louisiana during tho period ot re
• construction. His public acts and
private jol>3 were equally scandalous.
At one time it was proposed to im
peach him for having defaulted to
1 the State of Louisiana in tho sum of
! SBB,OOO as Tax Collector for the parish
of Rapides. He es taped Impeach
ment only to be removed from office
by Gen. Sheridan, then in command
lof tho Fifth Military District, The
grounds for the removal were num
l berless acts of dishonesty and of
. usurpation.
The Lieutenant General's opinion
.of .T. Madison Wolls in 1867 maybe
gathered from the following einpbat
i ic passage in an official dispatch from
Gen. Pli+l. Sheridan to Edwin M.
Stanton, Secretary of War:
“I say now unequivocally that Gov.
Wells is a political trieksternndadls
honest man. I have seen him during
the July riot of 1866 skulk away where
I could not find him to give a guard,
instead ot coming out as a manly
representative of the State and join
ing those who are preserving tho
peace. I have watched him since,
and his conduct has been ns sinuous
as the mark left in the dust by tho
movements of a snake. T say again
that he is dishonest.”
A short time after, in u letter to
Grant, Sheridan wrote of Wells, "‘He
has not one friend who is an honest
man and again, “The people of the
whole State feel that we have got rid
of an unprincipled Governor and the
set of disreputable tricksters he had
about him.”
This is Phil. Sheridan's picture of
tho man upon whoso fairness and
honesty the fair aud honest declara
tion of Louisiana's vote now depends.
And Phil Sheridan himself, at the
command of Grant and Chandler,
has gone to support, with Federal
bayonets the decree of the trickster,
whoso ways are as “sinuous ns the
mark left in tho dust by the move
ments of a snake.”
Of the old thirteen States, which,
by their united efforts, established
American independence, nine cast
their Electoral votes for Uncle Sam
my Tiiden and but four for Mr. Hayes.
Tho following are tho old Revolu
tionary States which voted for Tii
den : Connecticut, Delaware, Geor
gia, Maryland, New Jersey, New
York, North Carolina, South Caro
lina and Virginia. The following
four of the original thirteen voted for
Hayes: Massachusetts, New Hamp
shire, Pennsylvania and Rhode Isl
and. Uncle Sammy carries the orig
inal States by more than 2to 1. Let
us not cheat the Old Thirteen, for wc
would have no opportunity of elect
ing a President had it not been for
them.
The Herald on the Situation.
The Herald of Friday, in a long
leader headed “A Few Plain Words
to the Republicans,” reviews the gen
eral situation in South Carolina and
Louisiana, and concludes as follows:
Can the National Republican party
afford to countenance and to take ad
vantage of such methods as these,
no matter how strictly they may be
according to the letter of the law?
Can it afford to be put before the
country as the aider and abettor in
such manifestly unjust, such glar
ingly indecent proceedings? And
can it afford to declare, by the help
of returning boards so constituted
and of political appliances of such a
nature as we have recited, that its
candidate is elected, unless this
shall be shown to the entire satisfac
tion of both parties? We believe
not. If its leaders hope for a politi
cal future, if they have any regard
for tho esteem of the nation, riiey
must to-day prefer that Mr. Tiiden
shall be returned. It is almost im
possible for them, under the circum
stances, to obtain a verdict favorable
to their candidate which shall not
bear the fatal taint of fraud; and we
solemnly warn them that it is quite
impossible in such a case for them to
escape the indignation of the North,
which will cling to them and inevita
bly sweep them out of political life.
Under the circumstances the Demo
crats have only to wait. They occu
py a position of advantage which ou
ly their own folly can deprive them
of. But the Republican position is
painful in the highest degreo. To
satisfy the public mind that no
wrong is done, where so many cir
cumstances point to a deliberate in
tention of wrong, is very difficult for
them. To count their candidate in
without so satisfying the public
mind and disarming suspicion is to
court disgrace, and at the next elec
tion to meet an irresistible burst of
popular indignation.
From the Shelby (Ala.) Guide of last
week, we clip the following statement:
Last Friday evening Mr. Thomas. Fnl
ler, a son-in-law of Francis Nelson, Sher
iff, went to the house of Mr. Nelson near
Columbia, armed with a double-barrel
shot gun. He found Mrs. Fuller, his
wife, ironing. He discharged one load
in her side, which caused death in about
one hour. He then attempted to shoot
Mrs. Nelson, the mother-in-law, but she
! succeeded in getting in the house and
; closing the door. He then placed the
! breech of the gun against the house, the
i muzzle of the barrel against his heart;
j,took a stick and pushed the trigger. The
gun fired, emptying the whole load in his
! heart.

The Error* and Irregularities lu Nnuth
Carolina
Columbia, 8. C., Nov. 20.-Upon
the meeting of the Supreme Court
this a. m., counsel for Democratic
candidates asked the Board of Can
vassers In reporting their act ion un
der order 17th to include at the same
time all errors, irregularities and
discrepancies in statements of oounty
commissioners, which exist between
returns of managers of precinct, eloo
tions aud those of county canvassers
as tabulated and discovered by this
board. The order was asked for on
tho ground that a comparison of re
turns of managers and county can
vassers made for tho counties of
Aiken, Abbeville, Barnwell and
Charleston by tho State Board of
Canvassers had made manifest great
irregularities and discrepancies; that
votes given to one candidate so ap
pearing upon the managers’ returns
were by county canvassers transfer
red to another candidate; that coun
ty canvassers included in their state
ments of returns purporting to come
from profloients, designated iu every
statute; and that the Board of
State Canvassers received returns not
forwarded according to law, sighed
by managers of one party only, and
never submitted to the Board of
County Canvassers, one forwarded
by one party after the county can
vassers had made and closed I heir
official statement.
The court declined granting this
order on the ground that the Board
had not, as yet, refused to produce
the papers asked for, and that it!
would therefore be irregular to do
so. The court, however, intimated
that it would require the production
of tho returns by the Board to-mor
row, and threatened to issuo a per- j
emptory mandamus to compel them ;
to 80.
The court commented quite severe-1
ly upon tho failure of the Board to
perform merely the clerical work re
quired of them, and their action and
temper to-day is regarded as another
significant hint to the Board that no
tampering or kukitixing of returns
will be allowed.
The Board is now canvassing for
members of Congress, and will prob
ably conclude theirJabors to-day.

A Rule flint Ought to Work noth
Ways.
The Republicans have determined to adopt
a high moral tone in regard to the two mis
begotten postmasters in Vermont and Ore
gon. They exclaim, with a great affecta
tion of fairness, put ou to conceal their trep
idation, that Mr. Tiiden cannot, with any
degree of self-respect, consent to receive an
electoral vote from Vermont when the ma
jority of the people in that State clearly in
tended to east all its electoral votes for
Hayes. They appeal to the magnanimity of
our candidate, and urge the disgrace of an
election by a mere accident, a technicality,
a piece of legal chicanery. They have been
for months denouncing him as one of the
greatest villains in Christendom, and now
they address touching arguments to his cour
tesy, forbearenco and sense of chivalry. We
commend their sweet and innocent utteran
ces in favor of generosity and self-denia! to
the consideration of Governor Hayes. If it
was wrong for Tiiden to accept a vote from
Vermont against the purpose of the major
ity of her people, how base it would be for
Hayes to accept the Presidency against the
purpose of the majority of the people of the
United States? It is a poor rule that wont
work both ways. The constitutional pro
vision that disqualifies Federal officials
from being electors is as binding as the con
stitutional provision that makes it possible
for a minority to control the Electoral Col
lege. An appeal to the generosity of their
opponents in the case of these ineligible elec
tors comes with a curious grace from men
at this very moment engaged in attempting
to set aside the popular vote in three States,
and rob the man whose forbearance they
whine for, of nineteen votes. It is as if a
highwayman should object to being arrested
for attempting to pass off a counterfeit. It
is vain for the Republican party to look
about for sympathy in its emergency, for it
will get none. The framers of the Consti
tution, when they put in that proviso against
Federal office-holders, had in mind an organ
ization owned and run, as the Republican
organization is, by office holders, and took
what precautions they could to keep priblic
servants out of partisan politics. There is
a beautiful propriety, therefore, in having
Republicanism brained by a Vermont post
master, or, speaking metaphorically, hoist
by its own petard. This is the irony of
fate. Nothing so strange has happened
since tiie warlike Fvrrhus was discomforted
by an old woman who flung a tile at him
w hile he was fighting in the streets of Argos,
and knocked him off'his horse. We counsel
the unhorsed organization to cease its pite
ous lamentations and give up the ghost with
some sort of decency. Let its death be what
its life was not.— N. Y. World.

VOAH AMU HIS .ARK.
THE WIDOW VAN COTT STARTLING HER
HEARERS WITH VIVID DESCRIPTIONS.
New York San.]
The widow Van Uott was greeted by a
large congregation in the Methodist Chapel
in East Eleventh street last evening. She
drew a vivid picture ot Noah building the
ark, and illustrated the manner in which
people ridiculed him while he was at work.
Personating one of the scoffers, Mrs. Van
Cott, with a sneering laugh, exclaimed to an
imaginary Noah, “Ha-ha-ha! What a fool
you are; that ark will never be of any use to
you, and you will only have your labor for
your pains.” "But,” the widow added,
“Noah did not care how much they laughed
at him. He had been told by God to build
the ark, and he kept right on pounding away
until the last nail was driven in place. Then
tiie skies darkened, and a fearful storm came.
There were deafening peals of thunder and j
blinding Hashes of lightning,”
Mrs Van Cott averted her lace and cov
ered her eyes with her hand to shield them
from the vivid flashes. She pictured the an
imals. birds and creeping things going two
by two into the ark. Said.she, gazing upon i
an imaginary menagerie procession in one
of the aisles of the church; “There they go.
See them in pairs, marching toward Noah’s
great ship.” Many of the people in the au
dience involuntary turned their heads toward
the aisle indicated, Airs. Vgnn Cott'sgraphic
CvoM parhting leading them to think for the

of an imaginary one.

and that he was wise in building an ark for
safety, t'eirpte faugli at Christians for get
ting into the ark of safety, but the time will
come when the scoffers will cease their
laughter.”
