FREEDOM AND INTEREST PARALYZED. In Oas Ward of 2,037 CIHmb Rat Seven Voted Oae Mem Klectrd to Twa Offlera ff m S1agle Ttto-Nii Wotdw MJo7" Kays It Werks Wall. (Special dispatch to the N. Y. Sun.) New Orleans, Mar 11. Horn of thv delayed return comlni in from the re rent 8tte election In Louiana give wfranire evidence of the Influence of the new constitution in rutting down the vote. It in told In tb history of HwiUer land thnt nt the time the old Swiss con federacy win overthrown by Napoleon, the reetrlotion plnoed on the suffrage of the ran ton of Berne were unoh a to re 'hire the number of elector to 217, who did all the voting for a population of .'UtOCiO. That a somewhat similar con dition prevails in some parts of Ioul ina today the election return clearly indicate, and the rote by which officers were elected are almost ludicrous. In the parish of Assumption, for In Ntnnce, there were only seven votes. In the Third ward, yet these Keren vote were sufficient to elect three omoers, n police Juror or county comniiMstorier, justice of the pence and a constable. Four voters served an election eommis doner. This accounts for every voter in the ward four of them were behind the ballot box and the other three were iindidafe before it and were elected. In Concordia parish, the vote in the first four wnrds wan: First, 10; Second. Third, 13: Fourth. 7; total for four wards, or half the parish, 40. Them totem elcted twelve offlcem and twen ty person, or half the voting population, wi-re needed to man the taxes. In the Seond ward not a vote waa cast for police juror, a moat important office and one greatly sought after, for the police jury has complete control of the govern inent. financea, assessments, etc., of the pnrlsh. The Seventh ward of Caldwell did even better. Columbus Payne wat looted justice of the pence of the ward by the votes of two. Fortunately fot him he had no seriou opposition, or hi majority might have ben small. The constable, Qeorge 'Williams was not nite aa popnlar and revived only r Ingle vote, but aa there was no op position that one vote ts anfflcient tc elect, and Mr. Williams' name figure among those of the successful candi dates. As the Australian bnllot pre vails in Louisiana, it is impossible tc know whether the solitary vote that W-cted Williams was his own. If 1' were it Is evidence thnt the candidal for Justice, Mr. Payne, did not vote fah and return the compliment by voting for Williams. Tn the parish of Ent Carroll the totn' vote cast was lfV7. These voters elected a f nil pnrorhial ticket, inclnding sheriff 'oroners. members of the legislature and Hrks of court, besides the local offlcem Some twenty polls with eighty election commissioners were necessary for the polling of these votes. A fair sample of the vote is seen in the First ward, where two polling places were located. There were elected two justices of the peace, two constables and one police jnror, five offlcem in all. and 12 votes were cast. The result will figure as follows: Elec tion offlcem, 8; local offlcem, elected. 5: total. 13: votea east. 12. The Third ward of the parish also cast 12 votea. but the Second ran the total up to the hiuh flffiire of 13. Small as the vote in East Carroll was. it waa larrer than that of Madison, where only lM votes were polled to elect a full set of narish or connty as well as local officials. The First ward elected two Jnstices. two constables and one police Jnror, a total of five offlcem. with 12 votes east. The other wards voted as follows: Second. 1: Third. 15: Fifth, 20: Srth, 10: Seventh, 13. Each of these wards elected three or more of flcem and had from fonr to twelve elec tion commissioners. On an average there was one parish or local officer elected to less than every fire votea cast in Madison.- These two parishes. East Carroll and Madison, constitute a IndMal district. The district indre. F. X. Ransdell. re vived a total of 2SI votes, and the dis trict attorney, Mr. D. M. Evans, 313. The contest In the Third ward of Morehouse must have been exciting. There were fonr votes east, and three candidates. T,. Mallard was trium phantly elected justice of the peace by a vote of three, bnt the candidates for onstnblea were not so fortunate. Joseph ox received two votes and Philip TTleh lemer two, making it n tie, and requiring a new election so as to allow the fonr rotes of the ward to decide between ''ox and ITIghlemer. In the next ward. he Fourth, Tv. M. Taylor was luckier. He received only one vote, it is true 'orobnbly his own but as ther was no opposition the one vote was sufficient to '!crt. bim constable of the justice court Even clover wn the contest In the vlrth ward of Franklin parish, where he result wonld be worth investigation s nn election curioitv. On vote w ct. but it was anfflcient to elect TV. T Kineain justice of the peace. Mr. Kin eln seems to have been the only can didate. If not the onlv voter, of the ward for he was not only elected justice of the pence, but n'so police juror of hi ward. There should have been elected t eonstnWe to execute the mandates of Tnstiee Kincnin. hut there seems to have been no candidate for the office and no vote cast for it. Mr. Tslncnln evi dently thoncht it wonld be ill-advised to tcot himself constable as well as jus tice of the peace sod police jnror. and refrained from votinsr for himself for the Wser office.' Indeed it Is difficult to see how he could have acted simultaneously as justice and eontable. declaring the law and erecntinar it. There was no vote for constable cast in the Ninth vard of Franklin and the office is still vacant. Nor is it to be imagined that these mall rotes are due to lack of popnla tion. The Third ward in Assumption parish, which .cast 7 votes, has a popu- Istlon of 2.0.11. The Fourth ward of foneordin, which cast 7 Totes, has 1.0."3 Inhabitant. The Seventh ward of Cald which cast two votes, has !0ft in habitants, and the Ninth ward of Frank nn, with a Mneie aohtarr vote, has a population of ft39. while the Fourth ward of Morehouse, which also cast a MPCle vote for constable, has 1.884 in habitants and ordinarily would have cast 4.V votes. These fismres will give some idea of the effect of the new suffrage claue on the vote. As th representation is based en population, not votes, the result is 'erv unfavorable to tne white families '''hns Madison, with . 151 votes, has the ame representation in the Leeislature 'two members) as Calcasieu, which cast ?.N7n votes: and as the constitution re mires that the representation in all party conventions phall be based on population Madison with its l.M votes has nearly he ame representation in the Demo cratic conventioun as Calcasieu. The orovlsion- rive the few whites in the ne ?ro parishes n evtraordinarv influence Jo politics, far out of proportion to their umber. As a matter of fact, in these arishes there are Just enough white nen to hold elections, fill the offices and erve a delegates to the pnrtv conven 'n. livery white man is a politician i here f el'om any opposition candi it rne election: inoeen:, there are scarcely enough voters in some of th wardso allow of po'itica opposition. ?rievuie fiarette.

He says : 1 find that things, are not in a satisfactory condition In the moun tain counties of Caldwell, Wilkes, Ashe and Watauga, in so far as the Democrats are concerned. They are misleading a great many, but they are still in trouble. It will take a great deal of bard misrepresenta tion for them to patch the old moth eaten garment ; but they will have no trouble so far as an effort In that direction is concerned. They, are persistently telling the people and especially the most Ignorant of the whites that the amendment will eliminate the negro from politics and the polls. This is our danger and It is strantre in the face of the fact that under the amendment all that Anti-Amendment Clnb Orranized Julnn and Others Heard From.
