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, Mtngc>('oachlnK In Tcxaa. 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. ! OTTISIANA. FEDERAL HYPERVISORS CLAIM THE RIGHT TO “SEE A FAIR COUNT." Washington, Nov. 22.—Tho Feder al Supervisors of Louisiana claim the right to be present at all sessions of the Returning Board. Thbir claims are hacked by the opinion of Dis trict Attorney Beckwith, who holds , that their duties as inspectors ! commence with registration and end with the issue of certificates of elec tion. PROGRESS OF THE COUNT. New Orleans, Nov. 29,—Nine par j ishes have been canvassed only, two of which gave Democratic ma jorities, showing the most protests are by Republicans in Democratic parishes. Several protests by Democrats of a general character have been filed, but the action of the board on them is not indicated. FLORIDA. THE IM I.ES OP THE COI RT TEM PORARY.

St. Louis, Nov. 90.—What has long been known as tho Hogan Mountain gang of railroad train thieves, who have operated very extensively along tho St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railroad between here and tho Arkansas River, has been effect ually broken up, and nine of their number, including three women, have just been sentenced by the Iron Mountain Circuit Court to from five to eleven years in the penitontiary. There are also about thirty indict ments against others of the gang. These parties are among the most desperate characters in the State, and the breaking up of their opera tions is a matter of congratulation to all classes of law-abiding citizens. uunt.

Romp., Nov. 23.— Signor Chrispi, gov ernment candidate, elected President of the Chamber ot Deputies. Preparing for an Emergency. 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?" Corn pud Bran. Just received, a choice lot of Com at 76c per bushel.
