The report then recites , the judgment of the Supreme Court, which subt-ouueutly decided that theiiuye Klcctors were not elected nor untitled to cast tho vote ef the State nod that the Tllden Klcctors were, and also tho judgment of the Court in action hroiiKhthy lt ew,this Democratic candidate for Governor, to obtain a recunvass. where the Court directed a recunviiss ' o'ded that thecanviisnera in reiuniugt tho votes cast, had tlelr.utdod Drew7 lltwI,iIly seated Menrm. Tho , where the Court directed a recunviisrt andaeto count and untrlsture of tho State thereupon directed a rccanvass of , thu electoral vnto in accordance witluhls do clHionof the supreme Court, tho Judges of which wero lii-nublleuns, mid the recauvaas showed the Tilden Klector.s chosen. The Governor then luutted his certificate to the Tllden Ulccton as true Elector, but the Kleo Horal Cominlshlon refuted to consider the judgment of tho Court, the action of the saya never tcfore a.t-ted elHewhere. Under It Electora and returning oilier held the groH-eat power over the recdvingand count , ingot votes. Under pretext that tho color line divided the political parties, they had luted this iower to fraudulently count the ; 6tate for ifepubilcans, and hud been exposed. ; by tho Republican committee ot thu Fortyj third Congress, which had reported that the i whites ami blacks of tho State being cuual. i, in -mi4ii ut;j uniia 11 A9it;ni mm were 2J.0X) mote black voters In the than white, and as illustratlnar the 1 '"uuien navareoj iw cbu p repim, tne ' rfturt rMnrri t n III, tuff thai u-liltn tltiu pdnana reported but ,,)" colored men, women ana children in Xew Orleans, it made outot them nearly so,3 o colored voters, it then instauce-i the fraudulent registration that watt based upon this fraudulent census, whereby It was made to appear that registered Republican Ulore than 33.if. while aetuallv there were bo j nnrt the refusal of the autborltlM to , correct thin faUe registration In caaea where livj r ont. jg. urn nort. when e electmni were . . . .. . . i v,,K- " - n'iui - Vmfft thefg, intXmS largest . n,,,v IIV fi---, n-IM IHI1VI llllllUinil "2 .Wi?J'h" .i,L"f.h,:,?t.tsft. ,r Tite K xltikMutXL "l . tw a. t . .1 , r .. 1,10 ".uesiion oi intimiiiauon, anu argues tnat i thing by It, irecause tho Uoturning Honrd had in local! Feliciana Par ole of the sides had Heimblleaiis nurnosely withheld castltur anv votes at nil and -tibsenttently made the claim that they had tteen Intimidated and could not vote, and the Upturning Hoard on this pretext, purposely prearranged, excluded the vote of the parish. The rejKirt then refers to supplementary papers obtained from Anderson and lon ebcr, both ot whom were known by Keiubllcans to be tor sale, showing that after these Supervisors had made return., that there was no violence in their parishes, they were Induced to make supplementary protest, and that they iKith confeswvl they did this because of reward. In other parishes where officers had seen and cert tried to a perfectly fair election, Kellogg by pressure cxactetl like false protet. Tho report then goesi onto state now thelteturning Hoard, having got possession of such unlawful protests, proceeded to take evidence, t'nlted States officers and money being used to bring ignorant negroes from the interior fields Into a great city, where they were herded together, taken before officials and had affidavits written down for them, to which, upon making their murks, they received their fees and wete sent home. The process of manufacturing these affidavits is set forth to show how negroes were Imposed On, and how worthless the affidavits were. The report states that the Returning Hoard would never have so outraged the la-ople but for their encouragement from "visiting statesmen" and the support which they antl tho troops gnve them. Thou follow details of how some ot the visitors were deceived by local managers and Innocently co-operated In frauds of thelteturning Hoard, while others did not. It rolers very brkfty to the bargain by whleh itaye, who had 3.WW votes less than l'rickr.rd. got counted in, whtlo Packard went out, and mentions Sherman's otter to prove Intimidation, but points out that when ever tho committee oHered to receive It the evidence was not produced and they were met by some sham excuse for not producing it; how they hud examined many ot the wit neseea that wero before the Keturnlng Hoard, who, in almost every Instance, recanted and explained how they canto to mnku their false Hindavlts in tlie first place, and how such statements as they made before the Iteturning Hoard were totally unfounded. It then refers to the Sherman letter, In regard to which it simply states the tacts as they stand, showing that a letter was actually w ritten, and largely In dm need political action In Louisiana, whoever signet! It, and drawing attautlan to the attempt In the Interest of Sherman by Mrs. Jenks, whose bus hand and brother ate employees ol the Treasury Department, to Induce tun committee to produce a forged letter.
