How They Fix Thins* In Louisiana.
From the Baltimore Sun.]
Under the registration and election
laws of Louisiana the Governor ap
points a Buj>ervisor of registration
for each parish, and the supervisor
appoints the judges of election. The
decision of any supervisor on all
questions relating to the registration
of voters is final, and is not subject
to revision or correction by any
court. The Congressional committees
of investigation of 1379 and 1874 took
testimony in regard to the elections
of those years, and the machinery by
which those elections were controll
• ed. The testimony of Georgo VV.
Carter, Speaker of the Louisiana
House of Delegates, in respect to the
power of the Governor, is given in
the House committee’s report. It is
as follows:
“He (the Governor) controls all the
eleotion machinery, the police, the
constabulary, and the militia. He
controls all the foreoe necessary to
carry out his purposes, and through
the printing law he can control pub
lic cminion, so far as public opinion
is affected by the newspapers. Tak
ing the election laws as a code of
laws, I think, you will say they are
marvelous.”
8. B. Packard, the present Repub
lican candidate for Governor, was
asked whether, under the Governor’s
powers, “he cobid not declare any
person he chooses elected?” Pack
ark replied, “It amounts to nearly
that.”
“George E. Bovee, Republican Sec
retary of State, explained how the
ballots of the parish of Ascension
were manipulated, and when asked if
there were many frauds perpetrated
by the Returning Board, said :
“I have not the least doubt of it. I
think there was a regular system of
fraud entered entered into with a
view of electing certain men.”
.Tudge Dibble testified:
“I believe the present registration
laws are infamous in many respects,
Thev allow the most outrageous
frauds to be perpetrated.”
J. D. Moncure testified :
The Registrar is appointed by the
Governor, and is removable at his
pleasure. The Registrar appoints the
places of election. He appoints the
commissioners (judges) of election.
He can throw out any box he pleases
by simply marking on it, ‘There was
a riot at this box.’ He is not bound
to give any reason for this act. All
he is required to do is simply to make
a memorandum, ‘riot,’ or ‘disturb
ance,’ and the Governor and the Re
turning Board may throw out the box
if they see lit. There is no appeal
from their decision.”
The Warmoth lieturning Board--
Warmoth being then at issue with
the Kellogg-Casey-Packard clique—
with ail the returns from the parish
es before it, declared MeEnery, Dem
ocrat, duly elected Governor, and re
ported a majority of Democrats elec
ted to the Legislature. But the Kel
logg faction determined that a ma
jority of Republicans should be de
clared elected to the Legislature, and
set up a bogus Returning Board,
which, without any returns before
it. gave the Republicans a majority
of seats. The next tiling done was
to get an order at midnight from
Judge Dureil, of the United States
District Court, directing United
States Marshal Packard to take pos
session of the State House und pre
vent the Democratic members of the
Legislature from assembling. To
support this infamous order Attor
ney General Williams telegraphed
from Washington:
“You are to enforce the decrees
and mandates of the United States
courts, no matter by whom resisted,
and Gen. Emory will furnish you
with ail necessary troops for that
purpose.”
Three days later Jus. F. Casey,
Collector of Customs, wrote to his
brother-in-law, President Grant:
“The decreo t Dureil’s). if enforced,
will save the Republican majority
and give Louisiana a Republican
Legislature and State government.”
It was enforced, and the Republi
can committee of the United States
Senate subsequently said of it:
“Viewed in any light in which
your committee can consider them,
the orders and injunctions made and
granted by Judge Dureil are most,
reprehensible, erroneous in point of
law, and wholly void for want of ju
risdiction.”
The result was that Pinchback, as
President of the State Senate, was
made Governor pendiug the installa
tion of Kellogg.
In the election of 1874 the majority
of the Democratic candidates for the
Legislature were again successful,
but the Returning Board counted
out a sufficient number of tbem to
reverse the position of parties.
When the Democrats proceeded to
take their seats Kellogg made a
requisition upon (Jen. Emory for
troops, and Sheridan was sent frora
Chicago by President Grant to take
command and put down all opposi
tion with the bayonet. Before he
reached New Orleans United States
troops, acting under the order 'of
Kellogg, and commanded by Gen.
De Trobriand, ejected the Demo
cratic members, and the Kellogg
usurpation was complete for another
term'. An investigation was ordered
by Congress, and the Republican
Congressional Committee reported
as follows:
“The returns by the Commission
ers of Elections, compiled and for
warded by the Supervisors of Regis
tration, (all of the latter appointed
by Kellogg), gave the Conservatives
a majority of twenty-nine members
of the Legislature out of a total of
one hundred and eleven members.
In only a few instances were there
any protests accompanying these
returns.” ,
In closing his report, Mr. Hoar, the
chairman of the Republican commi
tee, said:
“We are constrained to declare that
the action of the Returning Board, on
I the whole, was arbitrary, unjust and
! illegal, and this action alone pre
j vented the return by the Board of a
! majority of conservative members of
j the lower house.
j * * * In the State of Louisiana
‘ there is a Governor in office who
I owes his seat to the interference of
j the national power, which hus recog
j uized his title to his office not by rea
! son of any ascartainmeut of the fact
by legal process, but solely on the il
legal order of a judge. In the same
State there is a Legislature, one
branch oj which derives its authority
from rhesarae order, the other being
organized by a majority who havo
been established in power by another
interference of the national govern
ment, and which majority derives its
title, not from any legal aseertain
mentof facts, but from the certificates
of a returning board which has mis
conceived and exceeded Its authori
ty. ”
We have cited above only the testimony
of a few of the more prominent Republi
can witnesses and given an abstract of
the conclusions reached upon the whole
testimony before them by Republican
committees of the Senate and the House
of Representatives. Neither the Senate
nor the House, both at that time strongly
Republican, took any action on the re
ports of their respective committees. !
Kellogg continued to hold his usurped
office of Governor, and bolds it to this
day, and the Conservatives of Louisiana
were deluded into accepting “the Wheel
er compromise.” In so doing they sought
to conciliate the North by abandoning the
fruits of their victories in 1872 and 1874,
and out of which, as attested by Repub
lican committees of both Houses, they
were deliberately swindled. Twice be
fore the Democratic Conservative party
has been successful in the elections held
in Louisiana, and twice, as we learn from
the testimony of Republicans themselves,
it has been cheated.
The Five MIs.InK Electors.
We have before us ono of the tick
ets voted for in the Senatorial Dis
trict composed of the parishes of Iber
ville, West Baton Rouge and St. Mar
tin, of which there were over 1,000
cast in the last election. This was
what was called the Wakefield ticket.
Wakefield was the candidate of one
of the factions of the Radical party
for Senator from the district.
Ail Of his tickets contain the names
of three Electors, omitting the other
five. These tickets sum up in the
district more than fifteen hundred.
It is true that the ticket had on it the
names of Haves and Wheeler for
President and Vice President, but no
votes were or can be given for
these persons, and only Electors
can bo voted for, and the only
returns to be made are of those who
were so voted. Chief Justice Lude
ling is charged with the iufinite ab
surdity of tlie opinion (hat the ap
pearance of the names of Hayes and
Wheeler on the ticket manifests the
intent to vote for all the electors on
other Radical tickets. This is an indi
cation of the animus of the voters,
and the Returning Board must re
gard the animus and intent of par
ties not expressed in words and let
ters, and count fer the whole eight
tho ballots which were only given for
three of the eight. This would be
quite in harmony with previous rul
ings of the board, which have assum
ed that votes were given and must be
counted which might, should or
ought to have been given, under
party obligations or for any party
end.
We think, however, that this prop
osition as applied to the votes for
electors in the Iberville District,
counting the whole eight when only
three were voted for, caps the climax
of audacity, illegality and monstros
ity, in tampering with ballots and
usurping arid controlling the suffrage
of the people. Such a decision would
illustrate to the rest of tho world the
character of our Returning Board
and of the system established in this
State by the infamous law under
which it is created. — N. O. Deni., 21st,

From the Houston Transcript,},
The ride from San Antonio, Texas,
to El Paso is one of the most stirring
bits of travel to be had in America.
The conveyance is a four-horse stage;
coaches are changed three times, and
beyond Concho, which is 216 miles
north ol San Antonio, Bronco mules
are under harness. This mule is a
fiery, untamable little animal, pos
sessed of all the spirit of a race horse,
and all the long-suffering and pa
tience of a Spanish jack. A corres
pondent of the St. Louis Republican
gives this account of Lize and Mur
phy, a dun and a sorrel, that have
done splendid service on this road.
Until the four-horse coaches were put
on their task was to draw a buck
board twice a week a distance of sixty
live miles. The journey was made in
a single night, without water and
without food or rest, except an hour
at midnight at Van Horn’s Well.
When I returned from Mexico to the
States these two little mules
pulled myself, another passenger,
some 300 pounds of mail and bag
gage, and the driver the distance
named. The driver cheered the soli
tude of the night with many anec
dotes of their performances, and at
our request and aided by us frequent
ly tried to stop them between the sta
tions. Our attempts to do so were in
effectual, for the more we would pull
the faster they would go. Some two
weeks after Gen. Cabell was the only
passenger, and the propensity of
“Lize” and “Murphy” to run was so
great that he considered his life in
serious danger. He drew his six
shooter and kept it eoeked, deter
mined to shoot one of them through
the head if they ever left the road.
But leaving the road is something
the mules never do. They are train
ed to keep the road and to stop only
at stations. They know an Indian
bv the smell, and the crackling of a
stick by the roadside makes them
dart. In case the driver should be
shot from the box they would keep
on to the station all the' same.
Poland all Quiet.
London, Nov. 22. —Prince Czarto
riski, the acknowledged head of the
Polish refugees in France, writes that
there is not the slightest foundation
for reports of impending insurrec
tions in Poland. The country is tran
quil, and emigrants are less disposed
than ever to encourage au insurrec
tionary movement.
—Mr. John Street, of Bartow county,
two of whose children were drowned some
months since, lost three more from the
accidental burning of his house on last
Thursday.

A DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY OF ONE.
I Charleston. 8. C., Nov. 29.—The
Supreme Court has ordered a writ of
(peremptory mandamus to issue to
the board of canvassers, requiring
them to give certificates of elec
tion in accordance with the report
made yesterday. This gives the
Democrats prima facie a majority of
four in the House and fifteen of the
thirty-three Senators.
Columbia, Nov. 23.— The Supreme
Court to-day issued a peremptory
mandamus to the Board of St ate Can
vassers to issue certificates to mem
bers of the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives, appearing on the face
of the returns to be elected—the final
contests in those Houses to bo deci
ded by . the members themselves.
This gives in Senato 18 Republicans
15 Democrats, and in House 00 Re
publicans, 64 Democrats—Democratic
majority on joint ballot, one.
Tiie Legislature counts the vote for
Governor and Lieut. Governor, and
elects a U. S. Senator.
The Court has decided to consider
other contests separately, and hear
argument this afternoon as to count
ing the Electoral vote.
Special to the Daily Timf.h. |
Charleston, Nov. 22.— There is
great excitement here ovor the rash
and revolutionary action of the State
Board of Canvassers, but not the
slightest disposition to violence.
The Democrats confidently rely
upon the impartiality of the Supreme
Court, although composed entirely of
Republicans, and upon its ability to
vindicate its own dignity, to enforce
the law and secure justice.
Governor Hampton will issue an
address to the people of South Caro
lina, in accordance with the facts,
and setting forth the purpose of the
party to prosecute their claims in the
courts. J. B. Gordon.
[We understand from the above
that Gov. Chamberlain and the hoard
of canvassers have refused to comply
with tiie decree of the Supreme
Court that certificates of election be
given to those members of the Legis
lature who appear to be elected by
the count made two or three days
ago, and that the new Legislature
count and declare the votes for Gov
ernor.—Ed.]
THE TRICK CONCOCTED AT WASHINGTON.
Columbia, Nov. 22.— The Board of
State Canvassers yesterday made a
report to the Supremo Court, stating
the persons who had received the
highest number of votes for the offi
ces for which they were candidates.
Appended to the report of the results
was a memorandum of tiie board,
stating that in their opinion certain
irregularities which affected some of
the Republican candidates should be
corrected, and also that the vote of
Laurens and Edgefh 1J counties,which
gave large Democratic majorities,
should be excluded on account of
frauds and intimidations.
This morning the Court passed an
order commanding the board to issue
certificates of election to all the per
sons who were shown by the report
of tho board to have received the
highest number of votes for mem
bers of the Legislature, including
the counties of Edgefield and Lau
rens.
The Court also to-day took up the
case of the Electors, and issued a
rule on the board to show cause why
they should not correct the state
ments of the county canvassers by
the precinct returns in their posses
sion.
Pending these proceedings of the
Court, and notwithstanding their own
resolution that they would take no
action until their powers and duties
had been defined by the Court, the
board held a session without the
knowledge of any of the parties on
the Democratic side, and issued cer
tificates to all the members of the
Legislature except for Laurens and
Edgefield counties, thus securing a
majority of the Legislature to the
Republican side, thus securing the
defeat of Hampton and the election
of Chamberlain; and also issued cer
tificates of election to the Hayes and
Wheeler Electors, and to all the Re
publican State ticket, correcting the
errors which defeated their own can
didates, and ignoring all errors of
the same character which would have
elected the Democrats. The board
then adjourned nine die.
This action of tho board has cre
ated much excitement, but the citi
zens are determined to rely upon the
courts and exhaust all legal means
of redress. It is currently believed
that the action of the board was
taken under directions from Wash
ington, and rumors on the street
credit a prominent judicial official
who has recently arrived here with
being the organ of the authorities at
Washington.

Special to the New York Tribune.)
In military and naval circles it Is be
lieved that orders will soon be issued di
recting preparations to be made for the
concentration of a sufficient force at
Washington to quiet all apprehensions
that are felt in the country of revolution
ary demonstrations occurring to interfere
with tlie counting of the Electoral vote
or with the inauguration of the legally
chosen President. Army officers state
that a force of twelve thousand infantry
and artillery could in two or three weeks
time he assembled in the forts near Wash
ington, and well informed officers in the
Navy Department say that about thirty
of the most formidable ships of war in
service are now in harbors on the coast
between Maine and the Mississippi, com
prising all the ipra-clads fitted out when
hostilities with Spain were considered im
minent; All these vessels could he readi
ly brought to Washington if nil emer
gency should arise requiring their pres
ence.
Nothing Like Trust.
The Rev. Mr. Spurgeon says: “There
is nothing in the world that impresses a
man so much as trust. Home years ago I
was mastoredby a dog in that way. I
own, in fact, that I was beaten hollow,
and ho was conqueror over me. He eame
into my garden, and he had no business
there. Thinking that he would not Im
prove my flower-bed, I walked along
quietly and threw my stick at him, and
thus advised him to go somewhere else.
What did that dog do? He stopped,
picked up the stick, wagged his tail, and
eame running to me with it, and laid the
stick down at my feet. I felt ashamed
of having thrown my stick, and the dog
was told to come around the garden when
he liked. How could Ido otherwise?"
