Never in our national history,was there a public trial fraught with such tre medotts issues. It is not saying too muoh-'to say that American liberty and independence depend upon that trial. If the Dem ocra tic representatives, in their respec tive States, and io Congress, are honest, predent, unselfish, patri otic, every State in the Union will score a Democratic victory in the Presidential campaign of 1876, and the Republican party will never again rear its horrid crest against the American Constitution. It is notorious that tens of thous ands of Republicans voted the Democratic ticket in the late elec tion, and that they did it express ly to give the Democratic party chance to redeem the country from the horrible enrse of Radical mis ■ rule. Let the Democratic party, through its representatives, answer that public expectation by one united, determined effort to restore honesty and justice to our State and National legislation, and two thirds of the Republicans of to day will vote the Democratic tick et in 1876. Let them, on the con trary, follow in the footsteps of their radical predecessors, and legislate for themselves and not for the people ; let their hands be the its of in ef of it to of full of bribes, and let them rob the people who elected them by a wasteful expenditure of public money and by iniquitous taxation, and they will build up and reor ganise the Republican party, and strike \ fatal and final blow at constitutional liberty. Let these representatives of the Democratic patty remember that they hold in tbeir hands the price less jewel of American freedom, and let them beware how they dis charge the solemn trust commit ted to their hands. Let every Democratic Senator and Representative recently elect ed to onr Legislature be in New Orleans, ready to take his seat on the ' first day of the session. Everything depends on this. The second day of the session may be one day too late/ The next session begins January 4th. The present calm in Congress undoubtedly precedes a storm, and it is believed that in lest than a week the Republican party will make the attempt to consummate measures designed to produce I as con diet and possibly civil" war in The Civil the South. The Civil Right* bill, which was evaded at the last ses ress, ia now to be etu is nefarious purpose. >ry Committee has ap ub*committee to draft nvmrioiAn* r provisions c «HI enforce, by severe penalties, the eocisil equalities of the rsoes ia hotel», restaurant«, railroad», steamboats and al! public convey ances and places of public amuae tuent.

The Bulletin says that it is evi dently thfe intention of the Board to give the next House of Repre sentatives a Radical majority, and to count in Dubuciet as /State 'reasurer overjMoncure. In view of the many notorious frauds committed by Radicals in doctoring the rètârns from many parishes after they reached New Orleans, and the late frequent secret sessions of Kellogg, An toine, Ray and Dibble with the Radical members of the Board, it looks as if the Board is deter mined, at any hazard, to defeat the solemn will of the people as expressed at tho ballot-box, and to rivet the chains of Radicalism upon our unfortunate Mate for two years longer. Violencé and martial law will, we fear, be the result of this new outrage on o«n sntutional liberty. on and Aß I hin A Bold Attempt. We take the following from the New Orleans Times of the 19th : On Wednesday morning a dar ing attempt was made to enter the office and rooms of Messrs. F. C. Zacharie & Fitzpatrick, at No. 95 Royal street, wherein are contain ed all the documentary proof, evi dence and returns of the late elec tion, belonging to the Democratic .party. The nocturnal visitors,'of whom there were three, at about three o'clock a. m., èffeoted an entrance from the street, deliberately walked up stairs and lit tbe gas {in the hall. They then vainly tried to open the door leading into tbe room where the' gentlemen slept, I keeping guard over ihp important papers, Tho landlady awoke upon seeing tho glare of light and looked into the hallway, but noticed them so unconcernedly at work, imagined they were some of her roomers' friends, therefore did not give the alarm. FoP fully half an hour they continued their nefarious work, but being unsuccessful, re tired without arousing the gentle men who so soundly slumbered, unconscious of tbeir danger. It is evident that this act was not made by professional burglars, as with them opening bedroom doors is comparatively an easy matter ; moreover no attempt was made at eutering any other room, nor was any property taken. The • Louisiana Salt Mines.— We cau soon expect to see a full force of workmen engaged in working Sie salt mines of Avery'» 'Wm ' ' mm Island, in Iberia parish. „„„ necessary arrangements have been made for the working of tbe mife», and on the arrival of the engin who are daily expected from tbe great work is to be r,- . future success of the euterfuiaé is unquestionable, and will add, without doubt, to the welfare of commerce generally, «ad give labor to tbe quantity of men who are now left without em ployment, owing to the wretched condition of our affaira.
