LOUISIANA.

The admissions of a partisan apainst his own party constitute the highest sort of evidence. If the partisan happened to he a candidate for election and his admissions effect his #wn interests adversely, the charactcr of the r.vidcnce is made still better. It is difficult to cor.ceiveof a man giving better proof of the f«.ith that is in him, than b) declining to accept a com mission, to which he is willing to assert that he

not believe himself to be entitled.

Now

it is just this sort of proof which the people of Louisiana have against the gan" of cormorants, who. under the leadership of Kellogg. Packard, Pinchback'and Brother-in-law Casey, have been devouring the substance ofthe people of Louisiana. Will the intelligent and patriotic reader please run his eagle eve over the following letters. ALEXANDRIA, RAPIDES PARISH,

DECEMBER. 30. 1876.

Hon W, P. Kellogg, Executive Office, New Orleans. Sir: I have received your commissicn to me as District Attorney for this judical distrif.t, and herewith return it. I was not elected to that effice at the recent election. My opponent received a majority of nearly two hundred votes over me at the polls. The Returning Board

has

disregarded that andelccted me. It •would ill become me to accept a commission as an officer of the law which can only he issued by trampling on the law, and by setting at nought the clearly expressed will ofthe people. I would not have that moral support in the discharge of my duties as prosecuting

officer

which is useful at all times and which now is essential. The taint of which would attach to all my proceedings, because ofthe origin of my authority would deprive me ofthe power of effec Jvely accomplishing, any good. But, were it (otherwise, I could not accept an office conferred through and by a board which nullifies an eh c'ion by the penpl-.-. regular and legal in every respect Very respectfully, J*

parish for the office, I would have endeavored to serve them to the best of mv ability, but under present circumstances I must decline to accept the office. There fore I herewith return to you said com. mission with the hope that another will be soon issued to some one more jiuily entitled to the honor than myself. I am your obedient servant.

Editor Shreveport lime". SIR-—While in

New

Orleans last Oc­

tober I was nominated by the Republican party at Mansfield for Sheriff without mv consent or sanction.

I at once telegraphed my declination to accept, and after publishing, subsequent to my arrival here, my card in the Mansfield Reporter, still lurther a«^d more positively declining, I was nevertheless voted for by both Democratic and Conservative parties, as well as Republican, and in justice to the onlv man whom 1 consider elected, W. P. Sample. I not having exerted myself to obtan the office, I think he should receive his comtaissijn from the Governor. Regarding the fraud and intimidation which I have read and heard s* much about as having prevailed in De So Parish during electio^day, it is unquestionably and positively not so and I may say in this connection, I qualified by the advice of my friends as United States Deputy Marshall, and was at Mansfield during the whole day. Voting ceased some time anterior to the closing of the boxes, and everywhere passed off without a jar. In short, the entire national, State and parochial Democratic ticket was elected in the parish of De Soto at the election held November

27, 1876.

llis Excellency, W. P. Kellogg, Governor of Louisiana: SIR:—I received yesterday a commission over your signature and the seal of the state as Justice of the Peace of the Second Ward of the parish of East Baton R«uge, which recites that I have been -duly elected to this office. It is true I was a candidate on the republican ticket tor said office at the "recent election, but it is also true that I did not receive a majority ofthe votes fairly

and

none

it

peaceably cas

,for the candidates therefor in the diffierent wards in the parish. My understanding of the law is that

but residents of the Second Ward

"are entitled to vote for officers of said

ward, while, in point of fact, voti» for said officers were cast without distinction by all the voters in the parish.

I believe therefore, that there has been no election for justice of the peace in thi® parish. If I am mistaken in this, then as sureJly I cannot concent to accept an office conferred upon me by the Returning Board alone, for no fair man can for a moment doubt that at the election held here on the

7th

of November last, char­

acterized as it was by fairness, pcaeeablene sand lack of intimidation, my opponent received a large majority of the votes cast. Very respectfully yours,

LKVI KELLUM.

Hut this is not the whole story. More remains to be told. It relates to the affidavits presented before the Returng Board during its session. As it is well known, the Cugtom House, during the session ofthe Board was turned into an affidavitmill, They were ground ont by the dozen, on certain regular outrage rules, and then the gentlemen of color who could not read were secured and required to swear to them. Ihese affidav its were signed by scores of '"darkies' who could not read them and were misinformed as to their contents, possibly by having an entirely different statement rend to them from that which they signed. It seems in a word that the Custom House, on a iargc scale and by wholesale, played the same trick on unsu jpecting Sambo, which Derrick Von Beekman attempted to play on Rip Van Winkle and failed to accomplish through the unreasoning prejudicial of that jolly dog to signing1 on the day after I' riday. Rip woke up twenty vears after to find hihi self proprietor of the village of Falling Waters because ol his failure to sign his name. These dusky signers or affidavits in Louisiana, have awakened after a much shorter nap, to find that they h-°.ve perjured themselves, and been the pliant tools of arch conspi ators, who have used them to falsify history. Many of these persons have now come to the front and stated that their affidavit's were false, and that

signed them in ignorance, or

upon misinformation of their contents Among these persons the names of a f-w are as follows:

W. B. Mclntyre, of Livingston. C. Guidrv, colored, Lafayette Parish. A Haher, of Livingston. Sylvester Simms,of Livingston. J.J.Johnsqn, of Morehouse,, ——'Vrwlniiki, of West Feliciana^„, .-t:' Levi Berry, of Claiborne. J. A Veazy,of Lafavetle.

W. White, of Livingston. Leonar Mai chand, of Lafayette. Vilmont Albas, of Lafayette. R. J. Hogan, colored. A. Basto, of Natchitoches. If the cross-marked affidavits which Mr. Sherman received from Kellogg and Packard were read to the negroes who signed them, it is safe to say that the majority of them would swear that they did not swear as they are represerted to have sworn, and this is made plain by the fact that every one so for who has had his affidavit read to him has repudiated it absolutely.

Among the prominent Hayes men who declare Nicholls elected, and recognize the Nicholl's governmeut, are exGovernor Warmoth, P.J. Kennedy, Mr. Barrett and Mr. Estopinal. members of the Legislature Geo. L. Sheridan and Geo. W. Carter, who canvassed the North for Hayes James Casey, brother-in-law of Grant Pinchback, J. Oglesbv, President of the Louisiana National bank Effington Lawrence, ex-member of Congress,

Phillip Hickcv Morgan and

Judge Wiley, late Justice of Kellogg's Supreme Court. Warmouth is stil working to secure a following in his contemplated secession from thfc Returning Board Legislature.

THE Florida, investigating committee have returned. Although their report is postponed until the testimony is reduced to readable writing, the indications are that the conclusions of the Democratic members in respect to Alachua county will receive the support of the Republi can members. The substance of the con elusion is, that two hundred and nineteen fraudulent votes must be deducted irem the Hayes return. The committee are understood to be unanimous as to the absence of intimidation. In Baker and Clay counties the frailty of the Radicals is again exhibited in glaring colors. Through such developements as these the people will be awakened to a realizing sense of what is the duty of their representatives and of themselves. When suspicion* based on moral evidence, is, by irrefragable proof, raised Ip the dignity ®f conviction, spontaneous and vigorous protests against submission to wrong will be heard from every section and every class.

WE regret that the people of Louisiana, to partially secure their property from the plunderers, are compelled to use such dirty instruments as Pinchback and possibly Casey. As soon as used they should be kicked out promptly.

FAIRNESS in politics would be greatly aided in this State if the Legislature would adopt the suggestion of Governor Williams and make a new congressional and legislative apportionment of the State.

THE eastern trouble it is said is approaching a satisfactory solution. This will be gratifying news to the man in this country, if any such survives, who understands what that eastern trouble is about.

IT is itimored that the bulls of Wal street, have got Jay Gould on their horns and are prepared to toss him on high mercilessly. He is, it seems, a bear in Western Union telegraph stock, to a large amount, and will be alar^e loser in any event, and may possibly be ruined. Such a catastrophy would not make many mourners in this section of the Lord's footstool.

THERE is much music, excellent melody in the despatches of Zachariah and Win E. Chandler sent from Washington to the Republican managers in the south, just about the time of the election. Zach wa« liberal in his promises of backing with Greenbacks and bayonets, yet not more so than in the fullfllment, which shows Zachariah to" have kept his promise. The IJSS said about h.s patriotism in 'Ins connection the better.

SCHUYLER Colfax, no^v asserts with a vry great deal of unction, that the exclusive power to decide upon their regularity, and count the electoral vote is rested in the president of the senate. ThcNcw York Herald has been at pains to look up the record of this victim of the Credit Mobilier, and finds that Schuyler's actions, when he was president of the senate, were wholly at variance with his present statements. It is not the fiist time Schuyler has run afoul of his record to his discomfiture.

IN Georgia the number of colored pu pils intending the public schools basincreased from 6,(94 in 1S71 to 57,937 in 1876. This increase has been eflected •jnder the rule of the white landowners of the state who obtained control of the State in the tirst mentioned year. No better commentary coulct be written on the subject and no other is needed. Thr* best friend of the black man in politics is the white man who own? property, gives him employmrnt and is financially interested in peace and pro-iQ^rUy.

SENATOR BOOTH'S PLAN. In another column will be found the full text of the speech made by Senator Booth, the other Jay in the Senate chamber, in support of his proposed plan for counting the electoral votes. The plan practically proposes that all disputed questions between the Senate and House be referred to the supreme cou't for final arbitrament. He frankly admits that there is no warrant for this in the Constitution, but earnestly asserts that if both houses of congress should agree to such submission and declare their willingness in advance to abide by its decision, that the court, however unwilling to undertake the task, could not refuse, and the people would only be too glad to find so easy and fair an escape from a perilous situation. The idea which Morton and Chandler nave advanced. that the president of the senate has sole power to decide the whole question of counting the electoral votes, he scouts as a false and pernicious doctrine, authority for which is found neither in the express provisions of the constitution, nor in the piecedents under it, which, if if had been proposed by any one of the framers of th constitution, woujd have been promptly voted down by all the members of the convention as utterly

repugnant

to the spirit of the institutions

which they hoped to establish. He alro opposed the idea that the House of Representatives has sole authority to decidp upon the vctes for President, and can confer upon itself the opportunity to elect.

Wt confess our inability to go as far as he does in condemnation of this idea, in as much as it is exactly the extent of power conferred upon the House, by the 22nd joint rule, which was not only operated under, during the count of the votes for three successive presidents, but had the sanction at the time of its passage, ofthe most eminent men in the Republican party. But this difference of opinion only emphasizes the necessity of an earl» compromise and adjustment of difficulties, which is the key note of his speech. All through his argument runs a lofty strain of patriotism, which is more than willing to sink all persona considerations, in the promotion of peace, and for the welfare of the people. It is for this sentiment that the speech will be remembered, and it is through the deep-seated and wide spread prevalence ot such a sentiment, in the hearts and minds of the people which alone will make possible a solution of the present complication. That they may imbir.e some of this same lofty patriotism we commend to the careful perusal of the GAZETTE'S reader this eloquent argument of one whom we have known, in early manhood, as a townsman.

Washington, Jan.

17.—The

select com­

mittee on rights, poweis and privileges of the house in counting the electoral vote examined to-day Wm. E. Chandler. He testified that he was a member of the National republican committee and of *.he executive committee. In reply to lhe question whether he or any other member ot the committee sent telegrams to Louisiana, Florida, North or South Carolina,witness replied affirmatively.

He had seen copies ol telegrams produced yesterday by Mr. Clancey but did not rewmbcr any others particularly, he however sent telegrams early in the morning before Glancey was up he thought. He sent them substantially to the same persons mentioned in those States, but briefer. His recallection was: he telegraphed Hayes had received

ill tours.

185

votes, with Florida, Louisiana and Oregon. The Democrats would attempt to wrest these States from the Republicans by fraud or other improper means and requested thsm to be diligent in ascertaining the result, and to com municate it as soon as ascertained.

Q_—Were any promises made in those telegrams of money or troops? A.—None to my recollection.

In response to the question as to the names of the two friends mentioned in his dispatch to Mr. Keigh, who had left for Raleigh, the witness replied. General Kilpatrck and E. C. Crapsy,the latter having he correspondent ofthe New York Times.

Question—Did you give instructions to these gentlemen? Answer—I think not, to my knowledge.

Qje=t^—Were they furnished with money? Answer—Simply to pr.y expenses, no more.

In response to the question tlie witness said that while in Tallahassee he became counsellor the governor of Florida, and also for®jthii? Republican candidated for Congresi nnd Sectors. •».

Question.—While in Florida dij you reeeive any letters or telegrams from any member of the national committee in which mention was made ol money or troops.

Answer—I ought not to answer without the consent ol tny clients whom I will advise to give me permission to answer.

The committee after a private consiutat on uncnimously decided witnese must answer question and there could be

110

privileged communication between attorney and his clients as against the committee ot the house. The witness said as at present adoscd he declined to answer question without the consent of his clients and he declined with alf due respect to the committee.

Question—Did you while in Florida, send letter or telegram to any member of the national committee, mentioning money or troops?

Answer—I make the same answer as above. On being f-ither interrogated the itnesscaid he was not certain the letter to Mr Regan produced yesterday, was actually sent to that gentleman.

He thought manv of the telegrams were known to Chandler and Governor McCormick and that he the witness, dictated all of them. Some of the telegrams were sent after consultation vith membci of the committee and others sent on his own authority. The committee then went into private consultation.

PEL.TING PELTON*.

Washington, Jan.

17.—The

examin­

ation ofCol.Pelton was continued by the Senate Committee of privileges and selections this morning. He testified in answer to Senator Morton that he knows Smith Weed, of Plattsburg, New York. Weed went to South Carolina after the election. Don't think the Democratic National committee suggested tne mission. Don't know Weed's business.. Don't know why he went to South Carolina except to see a fair count Don't know under what name Weed went in South Carolina, but have no reason to believe that he went under any other than is own. Received no dispatch in NoAember last from the president ofthe C. C. & A. R. R. Have no knowledge of a dispatch sent to him at the National Democratic Committee, in which the question was asked whether the committee would pay

for the electoral vote. Such

a question was asked, but the witness don't know from what source it came. There was a letter received from one of the northwestern states, not Oregon, saying an electoral vote could be had for money Morton asked the witness if he had in his possession any letters from Smith Weed Witness answered he did not know as most of the correspondence had been destroyed from time to time. He did not remember of receiving a dispatch from Smith, Weed, or any other person saying that the vote of the colored elector in South Carolina could be obtained for( money. He thought he would remember" had he received such a dispatch. At this point Col. Pelton was excused until Fri,day morning.

The Senate Discusses the Occupation of Petersburg Va by Troops on Election Day.

The Louisiana Returning Board Under Discussion in tbe House.

SENATE.

Washington, Jan., 16

Patterson submitted a resolution recognizing the Chamberlain government in South Carolina as the lawful government ol the stale, and declaring it should be aided by the United States to the end tliat the laws may be euforced, etc. Referred to committee 011 privileges and elections.

At tbe expiration of the morning hour White called up the message of the president in regard to the occupation of Petersburg by military on election day, and vieled the floor to his colleague, Johnston, who spoke at length on the subject. Johnston quoted from previous debate in lhe senate to show that the senator from Ohio, Sherman, stated that Virginia wa», not in the same condition as other southern states, and that peace prevailed ,iu the state. Johnston argued that there was perfect peace in the state, the colored people had their right?, and the two laces lived together in harmony. He contended that the president had no light to send troops to Petersburg, because there had been a street fight at a previous election. It was never intended oy the founders of the government that the power of the United States should be evoked for the mere purpose of keeping the pece. The consiitutiou contemplated the use of the army only in oocert with the state authorities in suppressing domestic violence. He then quoted from a circular of the aitorney general giving instruc ions 10 United States marshals, and said if the aitorney general w»s right in his construction of law, the deputy marshal could take the governor of the stale from liii- oflice, or judge from his bench, and compel them to serve in his posse, and thus a Hovereign state inig*tt be overthrown. He then referred to -.he IVum.^hu election, and said there were 2,500 colored voters in that place. They were organized into squads of ten ench, 250 captains for these equads were appointed, and each captain held a coin mission ot dei-uity marshal. On elcciion day each cupi-iin marched t'» the polls, snd said that they voted the Republican ticket.

Withers said the congress of the United States had been engaged for heveral weekn pa«t in considering hevr to count the electoral vote. It was true that the presence or absence of troops at a small town in Virginia might be a small mat erT-, buf the question' involved was whether the executive department of the government should be permitted to control the ballot by the use of the army, and thus de-tr the frc» Jom of elections. If this could |bs dune with impunity, congress had been was:in» timo in talking about the electoral vote. The presence of the military at the polls for the purpose of influencing th« popular will, fibed him with al irm for the safey and perpetuality of free government. Pie then read from ttie message of the president, of January, 1875, in regard to the ocbupation of New Orleans by military, and tbe. efiVct that the mili ary interference with any branch of state government was repugnant to our ideas of government, and resuming his remark*, asked what change had come over the president, since he gave utterance to hose sentiments? Why had the president since committed act* which he formerly declared should not be permitted? It appeared, now upon the simple ip dixit of a gentleman in the attorney general's office, the rights of the siaie of Virginia had been vielated. It wsb for lhe people of this country to decide whether such loo-'e interpretation of law should be for their interest or their ruin. Not only had the military been used to take possession of state governments, but it was now gathering around the capital, and senators and representatives were to legislate in the shadow of troops. He referred to the history of other repub.ics, and asked what were the three thi gs which preceeded their downfall? Corruption,fraud andriolence. We had corruption, frauds had been practiced in elections, as every one knew, and Who woe Id say when the third step would be tanen? The people of Virginia were honestly devoted to the principles of constitutional liberty but they had passed through affliction, and know what it was to snffer: they had lived under despotic power in tha past, and could live und it in the future it was for northern p»op to sav whether they would give th»ir consent to the change.

Whvie said tbe difficulty in regard to 8endiu*g troops into a state grew out of the legislation in 1885. The act of congress of ihat year provided that troops might be seni into a state to keep piece at the polls that was a broad authority, and the law should be amended by removing the words "to keep peace at the lis."

Withers submitted the following: Kesolved, That the committee on judiciary be instructed to examine whether the construction of laws touching the elective franchise promulgated by the att«rney general, in general order No. 06, of the date of September 7, 1876, be correct, and that they report the bill, or otherwise.

The resolution wai agreed to. and the senate resumed consideration of tbe report of the committee on rules, revising the rules for the government of the senate, which were agreed to in committee of the whole and reported to the senate.

Pending discussion the senate adjourned. MORNING SESSION. •JS3

Washington,1Jan. ^17—Morton from the co nmittee on piiviieges and elections stated the money appropriated to carry investigations now being made by that committee had been expended. A 1 bill appropriating

25,000

tional to defray expenses of committee had passed the seriate but was delayed in the house of Representatives. A sub committee of the committee on privileges and elections was now in Louisiana, its investigation was very important but tbe committee could not go forward without money?

Morton took the floor and replied at length to the remarks of Messrs. Johnston and Withers of" Virginia, made yesterday in regard to the occupation of Petersburg by the military on the da yarvJ!| the late election for president.

HOUSE

Lvnde, from the judiciary committee. maae a report relative to the refupal of Wells, Anderson, Cassanavo and Kenner, members of tlia I^ouisiHna returning |jf board, to produce before the committee on election in Louisiana certian papers -i-|' demanded by said committee. The report concludes with a resolution directing |j the sergeant-at-arms to take into custody and bring before the bar of the house the above named gen tlemen.

Frye, member of the judiciary committee, said when that report was agreed to in the committee there was no Republican member of the committee present., For his part lie regarded the doctrine enunciated in it as a monstrous one.. Under it there was no sovereignty any where in the country that was not subject to be called before the committee of the house and compelled to produce it* org- ljt inal rccords. He held, on the contrary, that congress had no more to do with the 4 returning board of the state of Louisiana than he, as an individual, had. He held that the returning board, having been. legally constituted Dy authority of the constitution of the United States, and having proceeded with its duties under tbe law of Louisiana, having made itsreturns, and these returns having been v' mhorized by law, the house was ezclu- $ ded from going behind them. The only authority the hotife had was tbe general condition of the country,and ,3 the public wea1 to inquire whether or not there was such a state of things there-' iiyrf that congress ought to take notice of that '.•* question he should at nce admit, that thero was such a condi ion ot things. there as required congressional interven- 4 tion. If congress had the right to interfere to prevent murder, outrage and ev* 'Is'S. ery other barbarism, he believed that there was now and hud been for the last yearn a deep, determined, absolute purpose not to permit to certain citizensof Louisiana the exercise of the right 0:.-i of suffrage, anl he believed that. these citiz«»s were prevented. from the exeto se of that right by Murdfr, by blows, and by every conceivable outrage. He belt* v« 1 mat in some hingn«. da states were supreit.e and in her thingathe United 8 a es were supreme. He beleived that cotiutcss had no more auihur-v« ^"3 ity to take tho.-e crigi. al papers and re-w i-'% cords, and 'o bring t»em out from unde%y the jurisdiction ot the state of Louisiano% r*"' to tne city of Washington, than the au^ thorities of Loni-iuna had to take the* papers of the United States and carry ., them to the city of New Orleans.. FOBstates' rights there had been one. wsr, and was it possible that men who went into war for the states lights had been so far converted by defeat as to be ready to say, lo-day, that a congrcssic'-al committee could take 4-^ and carry away the archives of a state, of a state court or ot a state returning board. It seemed that nothing w.as sacred from Democratic investigating committees. Ev to day, a committee of the -5 house WHS committing the indecency of --ri demanding from a national committee the whole manner of conducting a na- -'"i tional campaign the whole courespondenro all its teb-grams all its money col-, lections, etc. He WM happy to say, as a member of that commitiee that h& had advised the putting in of everything, letter?, telegrams, Ac for he knew perfectly well that there was nothing ia' them which would indicate fenud iu Louisiana, Florida or South Carolina* HA knew that the committee believed. that the Republicans hid carried those. three states honestly and fairly,.and that they would be counted for R. B* Havea unless the Democrats of thore states and tv of tbe United States should steal by fraud the votes of th«ee states. [Contemptuous laughter on the Democratic side of the gallery.]

Mr. Frye continued in tiie same strain at great length,frequently interrupted by members and applause and confusion in the gallaries. At the conclusion of hia nibi remarks the house adjourned.
