._? Lost Louisiana. NEW ORLEANS, Dec. A brief suuitna-ry of some of the c rences in Louisiana, during the past weeks, may interest readers who hav time to read lengthy details. THE NOVEMBER ELECTION. At the State election on Monday, vember 4, there were polled, in Louis about one hundred and thirty thoi votes, of which the Greeley fusion, or Radical ticket, nceived a majority ol' i ten thousand. There were elated u Greeley electors ; the entire fusion ticket, headed hy XleKnerv, the 1 candidato ut Iargti for Congress : ihre of the five district fusion candidate Congivss, besides a large fusion or co vative majority ia both branches a State Legislature. In the City of Oriana the \?ht>U ?nti-?hidiw? ticket vailed by majorities averaging about tv thousand votes in a total of tliirt thousand, giving Deniocratic-i'uaioi Liberal mayor, city adoiiuUtrators, oners, sheriffs, judges of eight dis courts, justices and constables. . \\ three or more candidates were in nor tion the fusion ticket my have fade may not I?'.' now asagrtained as ele but on the general ucRet candidates elected by a two-thirds voie where contest was between two contestants TOE PLOT BEGUN. In the fare of this notorious rc Senator Kellogg, the Administration didate for Governor, assuming that a number cf negroes had been preve from registration aud suffrage, and tendimf to ?'.ar that the regular retui officers of the State would not do ju to him in their returns, brought sui prayer m equity bet?re the United S Circuit Court. Judge Dnrell presii againsi; W "armata and others to pre them tVoin making the count and rei but to empower others to act as a ret ing board. The election throughout State had been the most pacific and 01 ly tba'; had ever been held, while in city not an altercation, fight, or arre* curred. No complaints had been viousiy made of fraud or favoritisii registering voters. No properly regii ed vote was excluded, and general ? feeling prevailed at the polls. The . was much the largest ever cast m State, being the first election since war in which the white voters have an ?ven and fair chance, and the first n aged by hands not bitterly hostile to conservatives. THE PLOT PROGEEiSES. Kellogg's prayer was heard, the inji tions granted, able counsel employed both parties to the suit, many affidavii real or pretended negro voters submit many long speeches made and much ? ietv fe! ", which grew N in intensity day day. Thc defence was managed with g a 'i.ky, and the argument employeu .bot i parties was marked by much lei ing, ingenuity and eloquence. Few first believed that the court could t jurisdiction, even \indor the laie act Congress respecting elections, where mi ben of Congress or Presidential eleci are to lie chosen ; but thoso who knew temper ot* the court and the spirit wt controls the people who are represen by the administration, knew that I Radical judge would mould his decis and rulings to suit those who hate white people of the South. Their i dictions, were realized, and their lt were soon changed into a hideous real KELLOGG TRIUMPHANT. In effect the prolonged argument able counsel was little more than a fa The judge had evidently resolved bef the trial began to grant the prayer Kellogg. He read abrief paper,prepai by the aand of another, purporting to reasons for his decision, and conclue with a decree and order, which was nol mg more nor less than the whole of K logg's voluminous petition. He not or decided that the Herron board was t true and rightful returning board, but accepted as parts of his decision all t allegations of the petitioner, and all t carefully enumerated and cunningly i vented inferences that could be drawn advance. He virtually put into the han ?of HftTi'ktna, Lnrnvh, ?ongo+?-?ct aurt lit ron the power to return as elected al one whom they might prefer, forbiddil all interference, and installing in offi those officer* and legislators whom tin might name. A IiRVNELN JEFFRIES. Intelligent medical men affirm their b lief that Darell was not mentally tit sit upon the bench any one day durir this long suit, and that, when his judi ment was read, he was visiblv under tr influence of drink. But, while notoriou ly a drunkard, while well known to hav been repeatedly intoxicated during tl trial, ana while for many hours just b< fore rendering his judgment aleoholioill insensible, vet I cannot believe that, wile with shaking hand he blotted his sigr manual upon the infamous decree, he wu ignorant of its contents or unaware of il sweeping provisions. The case was ir vented ana the final order was framed ur der Darell's supervision, and, a!;hong but a third-rate lawyer, he knew en.mg during brief sober intervals to be awai of all thc force and effect of the miserabl document. THE PLOT CONSUMMATED. Thus empowered, the Herron board a once published whit they called thc r? turns of thc State election of Novembc 4. The true retorna and ballot were thoi and have ever since been, in the lawfi custody of Governor Warmoth, but th false returns have been carefully prepare and tabulated for the emergency. Th true returns, according to actual ballot! had been compiled, tabulated and publish ed in accordance with an act of the eral Assembly passed in February, 187( This was done as to the newly elected ser ators and representatives on the 4th De cember, in view of the meeting of th Legislature called on the 9th December i; special session by the proclamation c Governor Warmoth. The true ret-un gave an anti-Radical majority of Dior than thirty in the House and" six in. th Senate ; the Herron board returned i Radical majority of about forty in tb House and sixteen in the Senate. Mar shal Packard occupied the State-housi with United States troops, and on Mon day morning the Herron board's member and senators megand organized, the clerk being forbidden by injunction to ca.li ain other names than those received fron* that board through the secretary of State This was ihe first result of the judicia infamy. In spite of an anti-Radical ma jority notoriously exceeding ten thousani "ballots, this gigantic scoundrelism remand: the people ol Louisiana to a Radical dy nasty ot the worst character, consisting chiefly of defeated candidates. Governoi Warmoth refused to recognize the bodj and remained away from his office at the Statehouse r.ith?-r than pass to it between files of United States soldiers standing with fixed bayoneta. After A BLASPHEMOUS PRETEN'rn OF PRAYER, which was litt Je else than a stump speech, the House jrreiVrred impeachment against Governor warmoth in not haste. ' There upon PiiiCbback, who was elected presi dent of the ?euate after ihe death ol Lieutenant-Governor Dunn, attaining now to be Lieutenant Governor, brbkc.iiijo the executive office and acted as Governor, and was so recognized by both spurious - houses. THE WURTA 0VERTU?>'ED. Uext in order, though not ?ccond in rascality, wa? the hasty passage ol a bill by which the Seventh and Eighth District Courts of this city were abolished anil another new court erected to have the combined jurisdiction and functions of both, and designated the "Superior Court of New Orleans." The judges of all the couria, including the two so abolished, elected in November, had been but recent ly installed. Even the Herron returns make the majority of Judge Collons, of . thefleventh Court, 5796, and that of Judge iUlmore of the Eighth Court, 8551. Both these .judges were able, learned and pop :tdar;.hat the Radical usurpers wanted a . court o?their own and a judge of the .Darell ?chas.. They wanted a court with .-authority to gra#t injunctions and pro -hibitions against . on,eivaiive officials .?nd a pliant jud.-o rto consider contested ^elections. Jacob hawkin*, a member of -ti* Smtrn bou?, h? boee tffiut? judge of this " superior" court, and l no incumbent of ornee, however el? or appointed, can consider himself from some base mandamus or villar injunction. No contestant against fii hood and fraud can now go elsewhere t to this abominable tribunal, or exf. when there, anything else ?.than injusi Let the reader here mark the connec of events. 1. Durell's decree from a Federal c< empowering the false returning board. 2. The returns of Herron. Lynch, H kins and Longstreet, constituting a R bal Legislature out of defeated cai dates. 3. The installation of the mulatto E ical ex-Senator Pinchback as acting G ernor by the pretended impeachment Warmoth: 4. The destruction of two district coi and the erection of the contested electii injunctions and prohibitions court on tJ ruins. 5.- The appointment of a member the Herron Board (Hawkins) to Ibis i dignity and extended power. WHAT IS. TO FOLLOW. These damnable fruits have aire grown out of the drunkard's decree, t tiny are insignificant in comparison v ! what must follow if that decree rssustaii 1. The pseudo Legislature will ;i abolish the city charter, and so main new one, that Vue mayor and council 1 be appointed by the Radical Goven This will bea renewal of the trick of li by which the will of the people of ^ Orleans was thwarted. The city debt now about twenty-five millions, and the city bears more than three-fifhs of the burden of the State-Government i State debt (forty-two millions,) the parity and extravagance of the (corni Radical city rulers "will destroy the 1 h ipe of redeeming the credit of New < leans. If the ignorant and villano prejudiced and spiteful legislators foll out. their wicked programme, the city \ be made bankrupt beyond remedy. 2. The confidence of capitalists in t city and State will be destroyed by fool and wicked misgovernment to such a gree that no help . \n be had from abu to build a railway connection with Tei the only means by which the city's wsa: trade can be revived and sustained. 3. The white people, in despair, \ abandon the State, if able, or suffer gloomy despondency if still detained poverty. 4. The colored people will swarm hi; er from all quarters, being tempted by I predominance which a rascally order court has conferred upon their race. Tl will soon give them a ruling majority fact as they now claim in form. A h century must pass ere the whites c again claim political equality. 5. But the crowning evil is the precede thus set. What oppressed and insult Louisiana suffers now fronvjj.this sub tyranny will be visited upon all t Southern States one by one, and aft? wards upon all States hostile to thepow now ruling. It is the dagger of the liber cide thrust deep into the vitals of the i public. If this tyranny is sustained t empire is not many years off. A Fairfield correspondent of the Cha leston Newt furnishes the following a count of a repetition of the Newber ?windle : We have lately had some of the arts a regular Down-East sharper practio upon us, by a fellow styling himself Bi cot He first made very liberal offers for i cotton along thc line of the Spartanbui and Union Railroad, and had a good mar bales delivered at thc djffereut depots. C Saturday, 21st ultimo, he passed clown tl road, telling the parties of whom he hs purchased the cotton that he did not ha\ money enough to pay for it, but would n turn on the Monday following to sett] with them ; and to save them all troubl and responsibility, they must leave th cotton in the depot, and allow him to tak a railroad receipt for it, which they un wanly did. After waiting impatiently fo a week, they found, to thrir great disgust that the rascal had drawn money on hi receipts in Columbia, andjput out for part unknown, Ax ExaTi^Too?*rT?cE- At "the Sa" vannah Fair Grounds, on Wednesday, : foot race of one mile for a purse' of $51 took place, the contestants being Mi Liarrett, of Charleston, and Mr. O'Hara a New York professional, who hails fron Nashville.

SAVANNAH, January 3.-The Commit tee on Direct Trade and Immigration, ap pointed by the Georgia Agricultural Con vention, of which Gen. John B. Gordon it President, met in this city to-day and is sued an address, of which the following it a brief synopsis: The committee invites the cotton State.1 to meet by delegations in convention at Angosta, Ga., on the 2d of February next. It refers to the common interest cf the West and South, and asks the. delegation. also from Cincinnati, St. Louis, Louisville and Memphis, etc., to note the importance of great through linea by rail and watet for the West, especially the Atlantic and Great Western Canal; also the necessity of some combined, organized and sustain ed effort to make known abroad the ad vantages which the South offers in thc interest of the whole country in the in creased prosperity of the South, as wed as in enabling the Western farmer to work his land profitably. Millions of people in the Scuta and West pay tribute to the 1 enriched East. In the hope of hastening prosperity by counselling together in the true spirit of American fellowship, dele gations are earnestly invited from the Southern States and from the West. Murder Will Out. ; Benjamin Shelby, Arthur Shelby, Ball ! Woods, and William Smith are now in ! jail in Burnett County. TVxas, under sen tence of death, all to IA- .-xecuted on the \ loth of January. They were convicted of the murder of Benjamin McKeever, solely upon a singular and perfect chain of cir cumstantial e vidence. McKeever Was shot from his hors? at night, and his throat cut, near the residence of. tile Shelbys, his body carried on boraeoj^ . .'.rec miles and thrown into a cave. A targe rock was phti ed over tho bloody spot where his throat was cut, whieh precaution led to the arrest of the criminals. A frontiers man saw the rock had been recently placed there ; it was removed, and thc blood dis cover- ti. On a doser search a wad from a shot gun was round. Another wad was taken hum .^iiu^by'-i gun. Both were from thc same paper. A copy of the "Chimney Corner" wa3 found in Shelby's house, with a piece torn out. The wads placed together and in the paper made the context oerleet. Other circumstances were' cumulative, ?/;d the jury found them guil ty. It is thought ?hat neither the courts or the governor will interfere, aud thesen tence will be executed. A CHARLESTON MERCHANT MARKUS < AN EN?;T,ISH HEIRESS.-in August last, Mr. George E.

" - - rr iimm n > in_jj THE ADVERTISER. ->->_i_ Edgefield, S. C., Jan. 9, 1873.; To the Senators and Re presen tat i ves of Edgefield an d Alleen. Last week we spoke incidentally of Mr. Bowley's hill before the. Legislature to exempt Manufacturing Establish ments, in South Carolina, from taxation for the next ten years. The Legislature re assembles to-day, Tuesday 7th, and we now earnestly urge our immediate Senator and Representatives, ..and those of our sister County, Aiken, to uphold this Bill strongly, and do all in their power towards making it a law. And for the information of these Legislators we would state one or two important facts bearingon the question. The Gran iteville Manufacturing Company have: notggii hand a surplus of Four.or.Five Hundred Thousand Dollars (all made at Granltoville) with which they design, or wish, to build ? new Factory. They had rather locate this Factory at Graniteville than elsewhere. But of course they will go where Cotton 'Factories are most en couraged And in Georgia not only are such establishments exempted from tax ation for ten years,- but the city of Au gusta, with eminent liberality and en terprise, actually offers a premium (3 per cent ) upon all money invested on hor Canal. Therefore, if Mr. Bowler's Bill should not become a Law, it is but fair to suppose that the new establish ment pf the Graniteville Company will be located in Augur" .. And if the Rep resentatives of Edgefield and Aiken leave anything undone to. secure so great a Factory within their own borders,, they must certainly be considered hereafter very feeble custodian* nfthe wei faro and interests of their constituents. Our pub lic men-and our merchants and capital ists-must be more imbned with the spirit of the age, and must realize the fact that manufactories, are the lifo,and soul of all inland towns. The changed condition of the labor of the country admonishes every thinking man that there must be a corresponding change.in the application of the industry of the' oountry. But let us take a broader view of this important matter of encouraging manu factories. The South to be independent and prosperous, must give employment to the immense amount of surplus labor she has on her hands ; and this, cannot be done without manu factories. It would seem that, ai present, only about one third of the labor of the South can be called available. And this for want of proper employment. As matters now stand, we are dependent upon the pro duction of cotton alone for the support of the entire population. Arid what num ber or what proportion of our popula tion is engaged in it? Not one- third. Not enough to support the balance-who must bo fed and clad, and are compelled to be idle for want of proper employ ment. j The gross receipts for tho cotton crop may be set down at an average of $275, 000,000. And if the immense amount of surplus labor in tho S>i:>h. .which is un able to enter into th'- production of cot ton, but is admintMy adopted to its man ufacture, was aif Ydcd tho means of its manipulation in ?imper factories/we ask, would not this labor so employed, add $275,000,000 moro to tho coffers of the South. Is n.>! this tho only salvation for the South ?. Can she not yet, by the introduction of cotton factories alone, become the wost independent people upon tho face of thu earth, It would appear nom tho present situ ation that the people of tho South are simply nothing more than serfs for the New England States They must make these. States cott! m to manufacture at a profit of about two hundred per cent; fjnri (in \t ?>-? Cu-Ai_.i- m. . ii furnishing tuc means of support to New England. How long ls thisstato of things to continue ? I,et thc South ?jiyo employment to her surplus labor, and make the profit on the manipulation of thc staple herself. Let the laws gi vo us imwaiiaurement in Coutil Carolina; and with our resourecs it would require comparatively little capr ital to put in operation handsome cotton factor?as in every part of. the State-in Edgefield, in Aiken, along tho Bidgo country, pronounced by travelers to be the garden lead of the South. It is all nonsense .about such enter prises not paying. Look at New Eng land, Virginia, North Carolina and;Geor gia. We remember a statement going the rounds a short time back, showing that the factories iii these States had de clared ? diyidend at from 18 to 23 cents. And look ut the fact of the Graniteville Company having a surplus of $400,(HW or S?O?.WH), ready for investment, Thc fact is, we lose all the profit on our cotton by letting other pcoplo manufac ture it; and wo hope tho people at large will be convinced of it at no distant day. Further of the JLonlsiana Imbroglio. On Monday, the Gth inst., tho people of Louisiana were to make an attempt to inaugurate the lawfully elected State officers-Gov. McEuery and other*. And for this purpose the lawful Legislature was to assemble, though previously over ridden and kept down by Grant's bayo nets. The people being determined to assert their rights, and thc. usurping fac tion being defiant and still backed by Federal troops, it has boen feared that, the day would see armed collision and terrible bloodshed. But thc latest dis patches from Washington and Now Or leans seem to indicate that President Grant has alistad a, tithe of Iiis tyranni cal and insulting obstinacy, and tele graphed Geni. Emory, in command of the Federal troops in New Orleans, not to permit interference with Uic meeting of thc lawful Legislature. The present indications arc that ?th?. whole matter will be referred tb Congress. But let the Louisiana contest end .as it may, Genl. Grant, by Ids action iii the premisos, has imperiously insulted and trodden down tho rights ol' local self-govern ment. Opening With .sweeping Success.
