Tile returns from the State, up to the time we go to press, this (Wednesday) morning, would indicate a Republican majority, for Hartranft and Allen, rang ing from 18,000 to 25,000. The Liberal , and Democrats are overwhelmed. McClure and Andy Curtin have "gone where the woodbine twineth." The whole county ticket is elected by majorities ranging from 300 to 800. The State ticket wil, have about 750 majority in this county. Speer has probably carried the county, b 3, from 100 to 200 majority, and is very likely elected. The vote is the heaviest ever polled. The victory is splendid and with a single exception, complete. Hur rah! Now, boys, let's "go for" Greeley. For ward ! PARTIZAN SLANDERS. President Grant pays no more attention to the partizan squads that are daily fired at his official character than he did to the petty falsehoods which, during the war, were set afloat to injure him As an officer and man. He relies now as he did then on his acts for a complete vindication be fore the bar of public judgment. Hit grand achievements as a General buried in the grave of oblivion the foremost of his traducers ; and the substantial results of his Administration will consign to a likt fate his present assailants. One by one the charges raised againgt him by disap pointed politicians have been exploded, and before the canvass is half completed his opponents will be reduced to the alter native of acknowledging him one of the ablest Presidents that ever filled the White House, or content themselves with the repetition of slanders which they know to be false. One of the petty slanders circulating through the Democratic press is to the effect that President Grant has made a large amount of money since he became President. This story is in keeping with others of the same character. Outside of his official salary his income does not ex ceed six thousand dollars a year. His principal property is his farm, six rr seven hundred acres, near St. Louis, part of which was inherited by Mrs. Grant. The remainder was purchased by him while General of the army, out of the one hun dred thousand dollars given to him by the citizens of New York. The balance of the cue hundred thousand was used to pay off the mortgage on his house on I street, Washington, now owned by Gen. Sherman and , in purchasing and fitting up his sum mer cottage at Long Branch. Since he became President he has not received one dollar's worth of property. All that he ever received was given to him while Gen eral of the army, and the gifts bestowed at that time were the generous prompting= of the people, who believed that some sub stantial token should accompany their re cognition of his invaluable services to the Republic. We challenge the enemies of . the Administration to point to a single corrupt or dishonest act in the career of President Graht. He stands above re proach, a pure-minded man ; an honest, efficient and patriotic statesman. What he has been in the past be will be in the future.. He has broken no promises, made no pledges which he fails to redeem. He has been consistent in all things, and pre. en ts to the American people a record, second to none since the days of Washing ton. He is the man for the position; has been tried in war and in peace, and found true. The loyal millions know this, and will give expression to their knowledge at the ballot-box in November next. "Reconciled" Georgia Mr. Greeley's organ says of the Georgea negroes : "Many o them concluded to wait for November before voting at all." They certainly have good reasons for wait !no., and our Georgia dispatches, especially those front Atlanta and Savannah this morning, set forth those reasons very clearly. There could not be a more convincing proof' of the rooted hostility of the Demo crats and their allies, to the equal rights of the colored race, than the course the party has taken in Georgia. The Legisla tore being strongly Democratic, changed the time of election from November to October, and required the production of a receipt for the poll-tax of 1871 as a condi tion precedent to voting. This provision of law was intended to cut off the negre vote in two ways. First, it was known that the negroes would be very likely to have lost the tax receipt of the previous year, and could only obtain a duplicate of it from Democratic officials; and, second, the election was taken out of the operation of the law for the enforcement of the Four teenth Amendment, and the Kuklux were left free from all fear of punishment fur tat rorism, except under State laws—i. e en tirely free. The way having been thus paved, the scheme ofdisfranchisement was boldly carried out. The polling places were made few in number—in Savannah only four were pro vided for a vote of eight thousand, and these all in the same building. The polls surrounded by armed democrats, and the roads were patrolled by Democratic "Sabre clubs" to oferawe the negroes. The vot ers were required by the election officers not only to produce the receipts required by law, but to swear that they had paid poll-tax every year since emancipation. In some cases, the day before election, the bondsmen of the tax collector surrendered his bond, leaving no one qualified to give tecessary receipts. Not content with this, in canvassing the v ites, whole precincts, where the Republican vote was heavy, were thrown out for trivial causes, or fur ,to cause at all. In Macon, as our readers ire already informed, the colored men were driven away from the polls by pistol shots and brickbats, two of their number being murdered outright, and others se verely wounded. Our observation of the Southern Demo cratic method of conducting elections, since the war, wherever they have had .he power to do as they pleased,(see the New York Tribune for the past five years,) prepared us for these outrages on the negrol voters. But it is to be noted that the first fruit of the Baltimore coalition is servile apologizino• ' fur Democratic lawlessness by he so-called ' , Liberal Republican" press. fhe organ of Mr. Greeley says there was -slight rioting," (referring to the murder of the twa men at 3lican, and the wound :ng of six others,) that the negroes were .he "original aggressors" and that these astute poiticians got themselves killed and maimed in pursuance of "preconcerted plan :or setting up a claim of intimidation at the rolls." Any time these five years, the Tune has held, and justly, that where negroes were killed and beaten, or -hot in a fight in which white Democrats same off unhurt, the whites were certain obe the "original aggressors." It has tLso held, with equal justice, that the stories about the negroes, or the negroes' friends, having misrepresented affairs for political effect, were sure to bel'-emocratio inventions. But now, as its part of the Baltimore bargain, it makes haste to malign the negroes. and represents the ruffians who assaulted them as innocent victims of base designs by the negroes on .he good name of democracy. A year ago the Tribune would have pointed out that China is the only country where a man ruins his foe by disemboweling himself on the latter's threshold. But now it would ;lave us believe that the colored voters of Macon, with similar malicious intent, rush ed on the revolvers of the Democrats, and tffered their lives to increase the political capital of the Northern Republicans. We believe we never before beard of such unselfish devotion on the part of voters, or of such egregious stupidity on the part of a newspaper. We call the attention of' all who believe that equal rights for all form the only safe basis of government in this country, to the evidence afforded by Georgia as to the intent of the modern Democracy on this point. If unchecked Democratic rule in Georgia gives rise to arbitrary and violent disfranchisement of the negroes, as of old and this crime is screened by Mr. Greeley's personal organ, what may be expected if Mr. Greeley and the Democrats should come into possession of the National Gov ernment? If we have insisted for seven sears on a reconstruction of the Southern States that should give security to all men, in all ther rights, is it worth while to cur .-ender the country to a party that shows in advance that it despises and hates one half the Southern voters, and will deprive them of all their rights when it regains power?—N. Y. Times. GOV. SEWARD'S VIEWS. His Indorsement of the Administration and the Republican Party. The followinc , ' letter was addressed by Gov. Seward to R. P. Johnson, Esq., of San Fransisco. In it he places himself on the record as in favor of the Republicao Party and the present Adminstration : AUBURN, Sept, 17, 1872. MY DEAR. MR. JOHNSON : Although I have oecasisn to write much, I am oblig ad now to use another's hand. You will not be surprised. Therefore, find it me in irregular correspondent. At the mo ment when the country was called to confront the last civil war, a consequence of its adoption of the policy of restricting slavery, I was required to take upon myself a part in the Executive Administration. I knew then very well that liberty, constitu tion and Union were inseparable, and that t failure of the Administration to save them would consign all concerned in it to eternal infamy. I thought, on the other hand, that my part, however humble in the rescue, ought to be enough to crown a loyal ambition. I knew moreover that could not _perform that very difficult part successfully without making a sacrifice of all personal and party prejudices, and aspirations for after life. I therefore cheerfully and openly pledged myself to that sacrifice. I thus secured a retirement from political life at the end of the strug gle, which has become pleasant to me. If any of my fellow-citizens think I am not entitled to enjoy it, for the reasons I have mentioned, they will concede it to me when they know that it has now became indispensable to the preservation of health in advancing years. Now, however, not' less than at any former time, do I think it the duty of every citizen to leave no uncertainty to exist concerning the princi ples and policy which govern his vote. 1 have seen no suffioient reason to withdraw mine from the support of the principles and policy which carried the country safe ly through the oivil conflict, or from the party organization and candidates who represent them. This must be my short reply to your long and much-estimated letter. Very sincerely yours, WiLLIAM'H - . SEWARD. To R. P. JOHNSON, Esq., San Francisco, California. g m. John E.

DEAR JOURNAL :—Again I have been on the wing, and have floated around loose over the "low land, low" of Louisiana, and from what I have seen, heard and read about this notorious State have come to the following conclusion : Louisiana was discovered by that hero. old La Salle, in 1791, :and a settlement attempted by Iberville in 1696, but result ed in a failure. In 1712 Louis XIV. of France granted to M. Crogart a charter which included the whole of the territory of Louisiana, but it shortly afterward again come into the possession of the crown owing to the mismanagement of John Law, the French financier, and was trans. ferred to Spain in 1762, but again come into the possession of France in 1800. Louisiana then included all the territory west of the Mississippi river, (excepting Texas, New Mexico and the territory of the Rocky Mountain,) was purchased by President Jefferson in 1803, for which the United States paid $11,250,000. It is said that the surface of Louisiana nowhere attains an elevation of more than two hun dred feet above the level of the Gulf of Mexico. This estimst;on holds good for all the lower portion the State, but some portion of the northern section contains some very fine up land, and frequently bluffs and ridges are to be met with. The valleys intervening are generally low and marshy, especially on one side of the streams • the other side usually covered with a fine growth of timber, such as wal nut, ash, mulberry, poplar, hickory and magnolia. Louisiana is divided into forty-eight Parishes, (it is the only State in the Union that uses the term parish instead of county,) some of which are very large. The Governor of Louisiana (at present H. C. Warmoth) is elected for four years and receives 86.000 per annum. The Lieu ' tenant Governor (Pinchback) receives $8 per diem during the session of the Legis lature. The Senate is composed of thirty tyro members, and the House of Represen tatives of about one hundred. They are elected by the people—the former for four and the latter for two years. The most important towns and cities in the State are New Orleans, containing a population of 192,000 ; Donaldsonville, made historical during the war, is situated on the south side of the Mississippi river, 78 miles above New Orleans and 52 below this city by water, and directly at the source of the Bayou LaMarche, which is a large and important affluent of the Mississippi, and is navigable nine months in the year for steamboats. The Lafourche passes through one of the richest and most fertile sugar producing regions of the State Donald sonville is the commercial centre of an ex tensive radius of fertile country, and en joying daily communication with the southern metropolis, both by rail and steamboat, is a thriving city of about 12.000 inhabitants. Baton Rouge is properly the capital of the State, but since its capture by the Union forces the State Legislature has met at the Mechanics Institute in New Orleans. This city is situated on the east bank of the Mississippi, 130 miles above New Or leans, in latitude 30° 28', and longitude about 85°. It stands on the first bluff met with on ascending the river, and is about 30 feet above the highest water• mark, and is the most healthy location in die Mississippi Valley below St. Louis. ho esplanade in front of the city presents a fine view of the majestic Mississippi and the rich tracts of cultivated land which lines its banks. The State House occu pies the most prominent position on an elevation far above the river, and can be seen - for around. It is completely burnt out, the solicnilfdk and gr.airb-natt - only remain. They stand as a monument of anti-bellum remembrance, when Baton Rouge was the gayest city in Louisiana. Three newspapers are published weekly here, the State Journal,li Liberal Repub lican, also the Advocate preaches the same politics. The Grand Era is a staunch Republican paper and supports Grant and Wilson with a will. It is edited by Hon. J. Henri Burch, the Representative from this District to United States Congress. He is one of the smartest negroes in the State except, perhaps. Pinchback. The city contains three banking establishments, .the State Asylum for the deaf and dumb, the states Prison, two colleges, ten church es of different denominations, and quite an assortment of mercantile establishments, and has a population of nearly 10,000. The city has also two cemeteries, gas works, several boiler and machine shops, saw and planing mills. The National Cemetery is located east of the city and contains between two and three thousand of our brave dead. The United States 'barracks, formerly the Baton Rouge Arse nal, lies on the bank of the river just at the upper edge of town, near where old Fort Spanish once stood. The Barracks is at present occupied by five companies (A, B, F, G and I) of the 19th U. S. In fantry, under command of Col. Q. Smith, a political General during the war, and who, it is said, was given a position in the army as a Colonel in order to get him out of the way of a certain senatorial aspi rapt in his native State. It is said, also, by military men that the Colonel has “missed hie calling." Louisiana having been originally colon ized by French and Spaniards, it has to day a very large admixture of the inhabi tants of those countries, who still, to a great extent, retain their manners and customs; and the French and Spanish lan guages are spokem exclusively in some of the parishes, even official business, to a great extent is transacted in the same lan guage. These French and Spanish, as a general thing, especially the more ignorant class, still keep up the old scowling face and look of defiance so persistently prir ticed during and before the war toward strangers. They appear to be determined I to enjoy the luxury of laziness and con tinue to be the same indolent, unthinking sort of animal. The good•for-nothing, drunken gambler of the lazy sunny south will not labor nor soil their dirty, black hands for an honest support, but depend upon every dishonest means which warrants a lazy, indolent life. .110 shunned to show, As hardly worth a shanger's ortie to know, If still more prying such inquiry grew, Ms brow falls darker, and his words more few." The New Orleans Republican can't quite swallow the Fusion Ticket. It was sup posed that Governor Warmoth controlled that paper until a few days ago, when he joined hands with the Fusion party. The director of the concern decided that the Fusion ticket was a little too much tainted 1 1 with Democracy for him, hence the col umns of the paper are filled daily with complaints, hits and fault-findings, in fact, as admitted by the Fusionists, is doing better service in the cause of Grant and Wilson than any paper in the State. The Picayune shows its dissatisfaction by leave ing out some of the nominees on the Fu sion ticket for State officials, and manifests indifference about the whole thing; nor is the Times altogether satisfied, as it shows its disapproval by harping upon questions which it knows would not be discreet to answer or investigate just now. Political mass meetings appear to be the order of' things throughout the country. The writer recently had a tour of over four hundred miles on horseback through the country. He found almost every little village, town and grogery to have its little mass meetings advertised, and every negro and American white man were usually found arguing the point on politics, which not. nnfrequently results in a "pistol affair" Lamentations come from Acadia relative and blood-spilling as a natural cause ando the emigration from Nova Scotia west effect.
