IT SAYS RADICALS WILL NOT SUBMIT TO
HAYES’ USURPATION.
Washington, Nov. 24.—The New
York Herald closes a long editorial
thus : “The Republican party is not
made up of rogues and Tombs law
yers. It contains a great mass of
honest, honorable, patriotic men,
and these will not tolerate what
would make them hang their heads
with shame.
They will not allow their leaders
to resort to trickery, nor will they
allow their candidates.
Already the Republican opinion of
the proceedings in the disputed
States is such that it has become
almost impossible
DECENTLY TO COUNT
in Gov. Hayes. Already the wisest
Republicans say in conversation,
that for the sake of their party they
hope favorably for Mr. Tiiden’s re
turns. As yet the honest Republican
masses are waiting in silence, but
with decreasing patience; but any
further appearance of trickery or
the least continuation of these
attempts in the disputed States to
take advantage of shallow legal tech
nicalities, to resort to underhand
and unworthy means, such as the
recent hearing of testimony charg
ing intimidation in which the Louis
iana Returning Board has, it is said,
been guilty, will give a determined
voice to the smothered indignation
or the Republloan party, who oaunot
stand silent and seo themselves, and
the good name of their party sold
Into disgrace.”
LOUISIANA COUNTING BOARD,

i Col. Zackarie Pushes the Came to

One Flbhl Effort to Count us Out.
New Orleans, Nov. 24.—The Can
vassing Board and committee met
to-day.
Wells stated that he had received a
communication from the Supervisor
at Natchitoches stating that the
names of Electors were omitted on
the tickets, but thought it only nec
essary to count Electors at Large and
Electors for the fourth District.
Col. Zackarie asked “whether the
j returns could he corrected by out-
I side testimony.”
Wells answerod “It was uot testi
mony, but the returns made by the
! Commissioners of Elections.”
j Zackarie asked whether|the state
ment wa9 in the returns when they
were opened.
Wells—No.
Zaoharis-Can couusel forJthe Dem
ocrats have an opportunity to con
tradict the statement?
Wells—The statement can only be
contradicted by tho ballots them
selves.
Zackarie—Will tho ballots be sent
for?
Wells— They will be telegraphed
for, but we will not delay the consid
eration of the eae when it comes
up.
Personal application for the ad
mittance of correspondents was re
fused.
Tho board la still undetermined
regarding the fifth member.
Gov. Wells announced tho court’s j
answer to several appeals, and pro
test that the rules of the board are
not to be changed.
The application for Democratic
representation in clerical force was
refused.
The board then went into Execu
tive session.
New Orleans, Nov. 22,-Governor

Burch 19,236, McEnery 13,539; majori
ty 5,099.
Packard’s majority 5,784.
It was hoped that Wells would
abide by the decision made yesterday
in the St. James case. In St. James
thirty odd Democratic tickets had
been voted, containing tho names of
only three electors. No objection
was made to this by the Democrats,
and no attempt made to supply the
names of the missing five. When,
however, several parishes came up
where this mistake had been made
by the Radicals, as in Vermilion and
Jackson, these parishes were laid
over for future consideration aDd the
determination by the Board of the
question whether it can count in the
names of all the electors merely be
cause the ticket is headed "Hayes
and Wheeler.” It is understood that
Gen. Sheldon will insist on this and
bring the question before Wells for
settlement. Wells certainly has
grown alarmed at the number of
these three—electors ticket that have
been voted not only in the Four
teenth Senatorial District but in
nearly every parish in the State.

It is not likely the count will be

The talk about a compromise

this may have been a bluff, it certain

Tallahassee, Fi.a., Nov. 23.—The
] argument of the injunction case
against thoGoyornor was opened this
morning at eleven o’oloek, and ad
journed at three. Tho Governor’s
counsel, all the way through, treated
the Court with
INSOLENT defiance,
and tqld the Judge that an injunction
| from him against the Governor would
! amount to nothing more than if it
were Issued by a privato individual.
Gen. Barlow asked the Judge how he
would enforce his injunction after he
had issued it; und said that if the
I Sheriff went to arrest the Governor,
and the Governor resisted, the Sher
, iff would summon his posse, and tho
, Governor would call upon the Presi

It is quite evident that the Repub*

the decision of the Court. They will

THE DIABOLIC PLAN OP THE CON
MPIIIATOR*.
From th N. O'. Democrut, 23iL]
I Thero never was so audacious and
I elaborate a scheme of villiany as that
i projected by Kellogg and his co-con
spirators to defraud this State of her
veto in tho recent election. People
abroad, espeuiully Republicans, who
i profess a great respect for the law,
\ have not the faintest conception of
; even the leading features and facts
of this conspiracy. For their bene
fit we propose to present some of
these in a succinct form.
1. It is assumed that the census
and registration and the previous
elections demonstrate a majority of
colored people in the State, and that
all tho colored voters must ho count
ed as Republicans in intent, and if
they did not vote, were prevented by
fraud or intimidation, or if their
votes were given io tho Democratic
ticket, they must bo presutnod to
have been given involuntarily and
under the influence of fear.
This presumption is the basis of
their whole conspiracy. It over
rides all other proofs and facts to the
oontrury. It is the cardinal idoa and
theory upon which the Returning
Board is to operate through its ma
nipulations of the returns. It is in
vain that proof is offered to refute
and disprove the presumption. Hun
dreds and thousands of these negroes
who are included in tho presumption
and set down as Radicals may be
brought forward to testify that they
voted for the Democratic ticket vol
untarily, and without the slightest
intimidation or other improper influ
ence. Their testimony is disregard
ed and their votes must be counted
out or presumed to huvo been given
for tho Radical ticket.
2. While tho infamous law, under
which tho Board acts, iu its reference
to tho nullifying effect of intimida
tion, contemplated the intention of
such violence and intimidation on
the day of election, and at or near the
polls, yet there being not the slight
est proof of any such fact, of violence
or intimidation on that occasion and
in those places, this presumption is
authorized by any incident of vio
lence or tumult which may have oc
curred in the parish twelve month# be
fore !
Tho lynching of a negro by a mob
for attempting to poison a white
fumjiy, or the whipping of a few ne
groes for stealing hogs or seed cotton
in districts wharo thero are no courts
or State officials to prosecute and try
crimes, are sufficient facts to justify
the exclusion of the whole vote of a
parish where these incidents may
have occurred, months before the
electioz, provkh'd the vote of such
parish exhibits a majority for the
Democrats.
If tho majority is tho other way,
there is no need of such exclusion,
find the presumption is abandoned in 1
regard to such parish. Two thousand 1
men in East Feliciana are to be de- i
nied their suffrage for President and :
Vice President of the United Stutcs, j
because John Gair was shot and a ne
gro woman hung by a mob for the
most terrible of crimes twelve months
before the election day.
But this rule, which admits of easy
and complete application to a parish
where the whole vote was given for
the Democrats, becomes an incon
venient and damaging one when ap
plied to parishes where a large Radi
cal vote was polled. It won’t do to
lose that vote, how great soever may
have been the alleged violence and
intimidation in the parish where it
was given.
The next devieo wus to preserve
the Radical majorities at their pre
cincts, separating them from the
Democratic proeincincts, so that the
latter could bo excluded uud the
former counted; and this is to be
accomplished by applying the intim
idation only to those precincts where
the Democrats got their majorities.
To carry out this plan the orders
were for the negroes to concentrate
at the precincts where the Democrats
would probably give their majorities,
to out vote them, and if other pre
cincts, where they, the negroes, out
numbered the whites, gave Demo
cratic majorities, they could he
counted out on the presumption
based on the previous returns, the
census and registration.
Thus, in Ouachita, the negroes in a
body tramped from remote parts of
the parish to Monroe, which they
have charged to be the headquarters
of bulldozer ism, and there voted, giv
ing a Radical majority at that poll,
whilst the polls in the country,
where they had previously voted, ex
hibited large Democratic majorities.
The latter are to be counted out on
the intimidation ground, but the
Radical majority at Monroe must be
counted in, though it is alleged by
the Radicals there were great dis
turbances at Monroe and everything
was free and peaceful at the country
precincts.
Thus through all the “bulldozed
parishes” it is proposed to apply this
absurd and dishonest rule, by pick
ing out all the Democratic precincts
and counting them out on tho pre
text of violence and intimidation in
any part of the parish, and counting
in the Radical precincts, though they
may be in tho very locality wJhere
such intimidation is alleged to have
existed.
Thus all the Democratic majorities
are to be destroyed and tho Radical
majorities to be counted. The Dem
ocratic majority is too large to be
eliminated by the simple process
of counting out tho majori
ties of the parishes whero intimida
tion is presumed. It must be further
reduced by counting in the solid
Radical vote in those parishes.
This is the diabolic scheme which
Kellogg and his gang have coneoot
ed, and which the Returning Board
is to carryout. It is the only mode
by which" they can possibly offset
and destroy the majority for the
Democrats. And this is the plan of
gigantic and unparalleled fraud and
villianv which President Grant has
sent two thousand soldiers and three
ships of war to this city to embolden
four uuscrupulous partisan loots, so
characterized by the Congress of the
United States and by the Republican
candidate for the Vice Presidency, to
carry out. A happy and proud man
will be the victorious Mr. Ilayes,
seated in the chair once occupied by
George Washington, which he has
reached through viiliany.

wrcKOn's Precedent.
It appears that the Supreme Court
of Oregon has already had occasion
to pass upon the question which
threatens to make a vacancy in its
Electoral Board. The case was this :
In 1868, a person holding the posi
tion of United States Surveyor Gen
eral wus voted for as an Elector.
About a week after his tdection he
resigned his position as a United
States official.
'File Governor of" Oregon refused to
commission him, holding that he
was ineligible for the reasons given.
The Supreme Court granted a rule
upon the Governor to show cause
why a mandamus should not issue
compelling him to sign fne commis
sions. ‘ ' u '
The case was one which attracted
wide attention. The Court ruled
that the Governor was right. It
said that “tho election of an elector
is his appointment. The Constitu
tion of the United States forbids the
appointment to the office of Elector
any person holding another govern
ment office.” The opinion conclu
ded as follows; “The mode of can
vassing the vote, and tho proclama
tion of the Governor, are substantial
ly only modes of ascertaining and
publishing the result of the vote.”
