THE WHOLE RADICAL PNOGRAMME FOR
ELECTING HAYES REVEALED.
New Obleanr, Nov. 16,—Reply of
the Republieuns to tne communica
tion from the Democrats, inviting a
conference:
New Orleans, Nov. 10 .—Gentlemen:
The majority of the undersigned, to
whom your note of the 14th was ad
dressed, only arrived in this city yes
terday evening. We have therefore
been unable to reply until this
morning, and can only regret that
your communication should have
been given to the press immediately
upon its delivery and without the
possibility of an answer accompany
ing it.
You remark that you are informed
that we came at the request of the
President to see that the boards of
canvassers make a fair count of votes
actually cast, and ask that we meet
and confer in order that such influ
ence as we possess may be exerted
in behalf of such a canvass of the
votes actually cast as by its fairness
and impartiality shall command the
respect and acquiescence of the
American people of all parties. We
join heartily with you in counsels of
peace and the expression of an earn
est desire for a perfectly honest and
just declaration of the results of the
recent election in Louisiana by its
lawfully constituted authorities, and
may add that we know of no reason
to doubt that such a declaration will
be made. But wo do not see the pro
priety or utility of a conference on
the base and subject to the limita
tions you propose, for we have no
such duty imposed on us, and as sug
gested by the clause of your note
first quoted, we are merely re
quested to be witnesses of what
shall occur in the can
vass of the votes without
power or large influence over the
means by which, under the laws of
Louisiana, the result is to deter
mined. We cannot doubt that in this
you, upon reflection, will concur with
us. We are here as private citizens,
with no official power. We therefore
cannot supercede or modify any laws
of the State, nor have we any right
to control or influeuceany of its offi
cers as to the manner in which they
shall perform ministerial or judicial
duties imposed upon them by its
laws;and should we, being perfect
strangers and without official func
tions, attempt this, and we should be
condemned by tho people of every
state in the Union for an improper
iullucnce with tho local administra
tion.
The following extract from the
laws of [Louisiana show that the
Canvassing Board is expressly requir
ed in certain cases to exercise judi
cial as well as ministerial functions:
Section B—That in [such canvass
and compilation the returning offi
cers shall observe the following
order: They shall compile first the
statements from all polls or voting
places at which there shall have
been a fair, freo and peaceful regis
tration and election. Whenever
from any poll or voting place there
shall be received the statement
of any supervisor of registration
or commissioner of election in form
as required by section twenty-six of
this act, on affidavit of three or more
citizens, of any riot, tumult, acts of
violence, intimidation, armed dis
turbance, bribery or corrupt influ
ence, which prevented or tended to
prevent a fair, free and peaceable
vote of all qualified electors entitled
to vote at such polls or voting places,
such returning officers shall not can
vass, count or compile the state
ments from such polls or voting
place until the statements from
ail other polls or voting places
shall have been canvassed and
compiled. The returning officers
shall then proceed to investigate the
statements of riot, tumult, acts
of violence, intimidation, armed
disturbance, bribery or cor
rupt influence at any such poll
or voting place, and if from the
evidence of such statement they shall be
such riot, tumult, acts oi
violence, intimidation, armed disturbance,
bribery or corrupt influence did not ma
terially interfere with tho purity and free
dom at such poll or voting place, or did
not prevent a sufficient number of quali
fied voters thereat from registering or vot
ing to materially change the result of the
election, then and not otherwise said re
turning officers shall canvass and compile
the vote oi such poll or voting place with
those previously compiled; hut if the said
returning officers shall not be fully satis
fied thereof, it shall be their duty to ex
amine further testimony in regard thereto,
and to this end they shall have the power
to send for persons and papers if after
such examination the said returning offi
cers shall be oonvinced that said riot, tu
mult, acts of violence, intimidation,
armed disturbance, bribery or influ
ence did materially interfere with
the purity and freedom of the elec
tion at such poll or voting place, or
did prevent a sufficient number of
the qualified electors thereat from
registering and voting to materially
change the result of the election,
then said returning officers shall not
canvass or compile the statement of
the votes of such poll or voting place,
but shall exclude them from their
returns: Provided, that any person
interested in said election by reason
of being a candidate for office should
be allowed a hearing before said re
turning officers, upon making appli
cation within the time allowed for
the forwarding of the returns of said
election.
HeDco, if there were any facts re
quiring the judgment of the board
upon the validity of any election or
returning as affected by such frauds
or violence, it would be a manifest
interference with State rights and
local self-government for persons
like ourselves, without official rights,
to attempt to influence or control Its
judicial election. Had a correspond
ing bond in the State of New York in
1868, been authorized to pass upon
the fraudulent return of the votes
of the city of New York that year,
and a delegalfon of citizens of Louis
iana, however respectable, attempt
ed to influence its judicial action
upon the facts presented to it under
laws of that State,such attempt would
COLUMBUS, GrA., FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 17, 1876.
have been universally condemned.
If the duties of tho canvassing
board of Louisiana were merely min
isterial or clerical, as.in tho case of
any officer charged by law with the
duty of verifying and declaring tho
result of any election or investiga
tion, with no discretion, as to when
the. President of tho counts
and declares the votes of the Elec
tors of States in tho elec
tion of President and Vice President
under tho Constitution of the United
States, a different case would lie pre
sented.
It is, in our judgment, vital to tho
preservation|of constitutional liberty
that tho habit of obedience to the
forms of law should bo sedulously
inculcated and cultivated, and that
the resort to unconstitutional modes
of redress for even actual grievances,
should bo avoided and condemned as
revolutionary, disorganizing, and
tending to disorder and anarchy.
To reduce the whole question,
therefore, to the mere clerical duty
of counting the votes actually cast,
as proposed by you, in distinction
lnm votes legally cast and re
turned, irrespective of the question
whether they are fraudulently or vio
lently cast or otherwise vitiated, in
volves a nulliflaction of the promis
es of the laws of Louisiana, which
have been adjudicated as valid by
the Supremo court, and would be
wholly justifiable here us well as in
any other State of tho Union which
had provided laws to protect the
rights of votes and tho purity of the
ballot. We cannot, therefore, concur
in your proposition for a conference
on that basis. Very respectfully,

London, Nov. 10.—The oorrespon j
dents say Austria contemplates u
partial mobilization of her army.
There in reason to believe that Bus-;

of recruits, numbering 200,000 men,
instead of waiting till April, t he usual
time.
The llrst military train, with I<>,ooo,
left St. Petersburg yesterday for Kis

of Russia are ordered to place their

Lord Derby is on the point of ad
dressing a protest to tho Powers
against the mobilization of tho Rus
sian army. This requires confirma
tion, If true, the conference is use
less. Everything, however, combines
to discourage tthoso who hope for a
peaceful issue. Freight traffic on
railroads from the Polish frontier
southward is stopped.
Turkey is concentrating, leaving
only a defensive line on tho Servian
and Montenegrin border. Four
English engineer officers uro em
ployed by the Porte to superintend
tho strengthening of tho Danubiau
forts. The Danube flotilla is rein
forced .
Tho Times editorially believes the
conference will be hold, despite war
like preparations. If tho Porto stub
bornly refuses, it will stand alone.
London, Nov. 10.— The Globe learns
from a trustworthy, but inofficial

the services be necessary for protec
tion of British interests.

Tallahassee, Nov. 15.— The Demo

cause, changed their tactics and
have opened an aggressive war upon
the Republican majorities. They at
tack the two largest majorities and
hope to tbrow.them out. They will
not only sustain their own figures,
but will cut down the Republican.
Joe Brown has bis throat tied up in a

the Democratic majorities or we will
make the throwing of them out so
ridiculous and outrageous that the
civilized world will not stand it.”

Close Voting.
The closeness of the electoral vote tills
year will recall other previous close
voting. In 1797 the Electoral Colleges
cast 71 votes for John Adams and 68 for
Thomas Jefferson, while in 1801 Jefferson
received 73 votes and Burr 73, so that
tho House, as the constitution then exist
ed, had to decide the result, though Burr
had been the Vice Presidential candidate
with Jefferson. There has not since then
been as close a count, but the House,
where several candidates were voted
for, has had to decide the contest,
no one having had a majority in 1724,
when Adams, Jackson, Ciay and Craw-
I ford were voted for by the electors, and
the House decided for John Quincy Ad
