The election in Louisiana on Tuesday '
!
of last week resulted in a eorrplete 1
Deniocrali" victory, as was expected by
every one at all familiar with the poli
tics of that State. The majority for the
Demon at ic State ticket is estimated at
not Ie.xs than 20,000, and may reach con-
sMeraMy more. The Democratic candi-
datt for Governor was Louis A. Wilt?,
who was Speaker of the lower branch of
W State Legislature on that memorable
lav in the beginning of January, 175, j
during Grant's second term, when Gen. 1
De Trobriand. an officer of the regular i
. . . , . .
army, marched a squadron of troops into
the nail of the House while it was in
session and at the point of the bayonet
unseated enough Democratic members

outrage. The late election seems to
have passed off quietly, the only tragedy

peculiar sadness, from the faet that we

etory of his having told a Chicago re

had offered him the Presidency he would

The Pittsburgh Pout saya the Irish
agitators express their firm determina
tion to continue the war for reform in
the land system, and will continue their
campaign with renewed vigor in all
parts of Ireland. Their programme has
been somewhat modified since the recent
arrests, and their speeches now advocate
an earnest effort to secure the Jdesired
reforms through the united and orderly
action of the jeople, and an appeal to
the government for aid for the suffering
peasantry. The report that the Pope
had determined to interpose his authori
ty, through the clergy of Ireland, for
the suppression of the agitation is a
canard. It is declared authoritatively
from the Vatican that the subject has
not lseen officially considered.
An odd and altogether delightful
wedding is descriled by the Portland
(Oregon) Be. In the town of l'ort
Townsend. Oregon, a young man won
the love of a young woman, encounter
ing at the same time tho stern opposition
of the girl's parents. The father and
big brothers of the girl went so far, in
deed, as to threaten personal injury to
to the lover should he persist in bis at
tentions. A few days ago the lover ap
peared at the door of the house in which
his sweetheart was as a caged bird. In
his right hand the desperate youth car
ried a lifle, cocked and primed. On his
left was a preacher. The old folks r-ame
down like raccoons from a tree. They
irodueed the girl and the two were
married in the front yard. After the
ceremony t he husband shouldered h is ride
and with the bride on his arm walked
triumphantly off.
That tlie conflagration that is to
consume the world has begun is believed
by many residents of fleading.Pa. While
some gentlemen were shouting on the
farm of Henry Miller, near that city,
one of lhe party killed a partridge, which
fell in an adjacent field. To the surprise
of the gentleman his dog refused to fetch
the bird.fand he werd for it himself; but
at the pot where the bird had fallen he
suddenly sank several feet in a bed of
fire and ashes. The burning track is a
square in length and half a square in
width. Miller says the fire began burn
ing about three weeks ago, and travels
several feet a day. It emits r.o smoke
excepting now and then when a tuft of
grass is leing consumed, or when trees
are burnintr, but the heat is intense.
The fire has extruded into a wheat field,
which is gradually being destroyed. The
roots of oak tree.s burn off, and some
trees two feet aud a half in diameter
have fallen over.
New York aud the Third Term.
It is generally conceded that neither
party can elect their candidate for Presi
dent next year unless they can pive him
the ihirty-nve votes of New York. The
figures leading to this conclusion are
familiar; nevertheless it is well to pre
sent them once more.
The electoral colleges of the whole
country cast .'J'.ili votes. Of these tlie
Northern States cast 231, and the South
ern 13. The majority necessary to elect
the President is 185.
It is claimed that the entire 138 South
ern votes will be cast for the Democratic
candidate. If this turus out to be the
fact, he will need to elect him 47 votes
from the Northern States. Where can
he get them ? At the last Presidential
election, tlie following Northern States
voted for Mr. Tiluen :
New York .u
I nriiaua 15
New .Jersey 7
Connect ic at ft
Toral ...6r
The recent drift of the tide in New
Jersey and Connecticut has been toward
the Republicans : but it will be perceived
that New Yoik and Indiana cast oO
votes, and if the Democratic candidate
can add these to Cue 13s Southern votes,
he wiil have 1S", which is three more
than a majority. 15ut it will be seen
also that Indiana, New Jersey and Con
necticut cast only 2S votes, which is 19
short of the number whieh tie Demo
cratic candidate musi have from the
North in order to succeed. Therefore
it is that the Democrats cannot get
along without the vote ot New York.
The case is just as clear with the Re
publicans. The whole number of elec
toral voles in the North is 231. Take
away the "U votes of New York and In
diana, and the remainder is 181, which
is four short of a majority. With the
chances ho strongly against them in In
diana, every Republican who has brains
enough to make the computation admits
that, in onlf r to succeed, his candidate
must carry New York, indeed, so plain
is this, that some of the desperate mem
bers of the parly have started U13 idea
ot changing the existing mode cf choos
ing Presidential eieciora in this St ate by
conferring the power of theappoinimf X
upon the Legislature, which, in this
case, would be the incoming Legislature,
wherein the Republicans have an over
whelming majority. Lot wo fancy 110
su.-h expedient wiil be resorted to, and
tnat next year, as usual, that issue will
be derided at the ballot boxes.
Waiving for our present purporej the
question as to the New York Democrats,
the recent election demonstrates that
this i3 a doubtful Slate, and that there
are nearly ten per cent, of the Republi
cans who arc ready to bolt a ticket they
do not li!:e, and that this class of Re
publicans are decided' host iie to a third
If rm of Gen. Grant. These three pro
positions rise out of the results of the
last elect ions as clear as the sun at noon
day ; and they ought to seal the doom of
the present Grant movement. X. Y.
