PAL¥ZR. DEMOCRATIC ADDRESS, The Committee of Visitiug Democrats {ssue the following sddress: NEW Onvrans, Dec, 1, 1870,—70 the People of the United States: On our arrival here, in casting about for approaches to the oflicinla who control the elections in this State, we discovered that they were all of one political party; that the Governe ment liod appointed none but Republicans sa Su- pervisora of Elecslon, and thatthe returning of- ficers, constituting the State Bonrd, were of the same political echool. Influenced by theee in- ausplclous surroundings, our thoughts and hopea were turned toward the eminent gentlemen who had been eelocted by the President to be present and see that the Board of Canvassers made a fair count of tho votes octually cust, and on the I4th of Novewher intited these gentlemen to mect and confer with ue, Thin co-operation was declined, but we never- theless have reason to belleve that to this corre- spundence moy by attributed the Invitation to us on the1sth uit. by the Returning Board to attend and be present at its ncetings as spectators and witnesees of its proceedings, Through thls cour- tesy,and the services of a competent stenographer, we became poesceeed of o1l the cesentinl fucts de- Jivercd on the face of the ofticial papers. We havo been furnistied with a certified copy of the dupli- cuto siatoments of the votes made by the Commis- slonera of Election at cach place of voting in tho State, From thesa statemonts it appears that the Fililen Electors recoived the following votes, viz: McEnery. Vlckhille, M, Martin, coche. Levimeo. Brewster.oovereesee aee Jellerson Tho result of (8o vote for Preeldcntiol Efectors s dieclosed oo the faco of the returns opened by the Returning Bourd lo our prescace for the ‘Tilen Llectors iy as folluw y 1 ing Board corresponded preciecly with the certitied copies of statements of Comalnsioners of Elec- tivn furnish®d us. The most muterlul diference srore from the failure of the Supervisors of East Datou Itonge, Tangipshioa, and of Orlesns to forward the swtemcnta of the votes from ‘ all the voting-places i their respective parfshes. In tairty.five out of the thirty-clght Etates in (he Unlon these figures would be conclusk: Noone would clalmn that Tliden und Hendrlcks were not entitled 1o the Electoral vote of the State; but in Lowsiana a tribunal las been set up whicli, on former occaslons, hos overs thrown the will of the people s expressed ut the polls, and for whick thie power s now clalmed its dlecretion to change the result of the popular vote at the recent cloction. Tn view, however, of the returns and the law, and tho facts which shoald controlthe Returning Boand, with which we lave made oursolves famlisr, we have no hesitation In raying that the reen)t shown by the votes actually cast cannot be chunged without a palpahle abuse of the lettoer and spieit of the low governing the Keturning Bosrd, aud manifest pervorsion of tho facts Lefure it, Irregularities have been com- mitted in somo Instanced by oiticurs conincting the clections, and in waking returns, but they are about a8 much on one slde ax the other; and as to intimidation, vivlence, orother fllegal acla pre- venting u free and fair electlon; thers 18 ovldence on both sldes, but not of auch u character as to af- fect the gencral result, In most fnstances the acts of violence procoedea from lawlesuncsy, as n case of Henry, and Eliza Pinl nd had oo connectinn with political affairs. ignlilcant fact in the parishes where, itis alleged, that voters were Kept from the polls by Intimidation, the total vole of such parishive was uw large us at any thmu heretofore, and fa the whola State {8 1,500 above any vote heretofore cast, An honest and fair canvass of the returns, even under the Louisiana law, canuot materially roduca Tils dew's majority, as abowa onthe face of the returns, (Slgued) dow ¥, Paxs, ® [RCABULL, Filian Biaban Groka B, SNUT, o W JuLia, I Watsox, LOUISIANA 1ITORRORS, THE “TERRIBLE QUIET'"—ATHUCITIES IN OUA- CUITA PARISHL Apecial Correwundence of Ths Tribune, New OnLsans, Nov. %8,~Oue of the most omifnous and remarkable fustures of the situa. tlon {8 the *‘terriblo quict™ to which Mr. Wat- terson roferred In one of his letiers to the Courier-Jourual, when be was hero. 'This very fuct of ‘such unususl quiet, is one of the most convincing proofs of the remdrkable control which about half & dozon inen have over the Democraflo element of the community. When tho fuct first commenced to dawn on tho minds of the Democratis leaders thut the electlon would turn on Loulsiauu, thero was a tervible excitemeut here fn. New Orleans, aud, uatll tho suggestion that representative mien from both politicul parties should come down here, there ‘was overy danger of rlot and bloodshed; aud, 41 1t had suited the purposes of Mr, Chalrman Hewitt, of the Democratic National Commituee, to have every evidencs of an efection in this Btate destroed, he would enly tiave had to tele- graph his desire, and o few Democratic Jeailers Lere could bave had TIIR BTATE IN REVOLUTION fn twelvehoure. Hadlt not been for the Wheeler sdjustment, snd the consequent full recogni- tion ot the Kellogg Government, at home and abroad, such a move might have been deemed advantageous. But the {dea of turning the town wrong side out was discouraged by Northern Democrats,and these half-dozen local *leaders ~for the whites have thelr “lcaders ' as well as the blacks—~simply called off thelr dogs, and all was quiet. 1nstead of the streets leading to tho 8tate-House being blocked with excited people, 88 wna the case at the meeting of the Legisla- ture in January, 1875, when such acrowd was desired by these leaders, the strects are now perfectly clear, and not a person scems to he attracted to the neighborhood of the Senate Chamber, whers the Returning Board has its scssfuns, cxcopt those who bave business thore, When such s small number of men can soeasily command the people into tumnlt or quiet, just as they please, cither condition seems tomes “terrible " one, as Mr. Watterson says. The great case which s to ducide into the hands of which party the Gavernment ot this State aud of the United Statesis to e placed for the next four years, drags its slow length along before the Returning Board day by day. The array of testimony which the Republicans have gathered, and, fndeed, which comestothein from people who have been driven from their homes for having voted the Republican ticket, is SIMPLY OVERWHELMING, Noone can listen to the stories of these unfer- tunate people and not believe them. They tell them In a simple, straightforward, homely man- ner, which carrics conviction with it. There are Liere people who have been whipped. Bome have beeu bung, and cut down again before they were dead, aud told to joln Democratic clubs ur they would not be Iet down next time. Others have been cut, shot, and bulldozed In ercry con- celvable way. People fn the North wonder how, ln & com- munity where perhaps there are twice as many blacks as there are whitcs, the blacks can be - timldated and held in subjection by the whites, It {e perhaps natural that people n the North should wonder at this. Dut it I8 a conditlon of things which can be very readily understood by any onc who has ever lived in the South any length of time. There are tn the raral portions of the South a largo class of young men who grow up and mever follow any useful oc- cupation. Thelr especial ambition s to' ride well, shoot quick and sure, drink whisky, and talk politics. They spend 8 good deal af their time about crossroads- groceries; and the traveler through the South has seen thelr horses tied to the limbs of trees aod .other available places in the nelghborkiood of those establishments. There Is always some daredevil about every mneizhborhood, whose character gives hin an ascendency over the others; and, as they belong to the nppasll: party, there is nothing more lkely, even with- out any preconcerted plan or central direction, that, when % the bogs * get on a big apree, they should go galloping about the country at night Y STIRNING-UP THE N1GOERS™ ‘The colored people, on the other hand, have ncarly all been slaves, and now spend most of .their time.in.the ficlds. They are; as a rule, docile, superstitious, casily frightened. When they get done with thelr day's work, they are tived enough togo tobed. Bupposing, as is frequently the casc, * the boys,” when they are baving thelr fun, at 1 or 2 o’clock in the mora- ing, ride Jike mad past the pour darkey's cabln, and, yelling like Comanches, fire their revolvers into the cabins as they pass. This supposititious cuse {s what may be termed a sporadic one. DBut when it comes to be, as {t has been {n this State durlug the past few montns, a perfect system, the volored people, even if they are ten to one, are bound to be demoral- fzed. They are brought up to work, and not to drink whisky and fight. » Their white Repub- lean fricnds are deewmed public enemies, and whatever cfforts they make to excite in the col- ored man a proper respeet for bis manhood nre devmed incendfary; and thoy may, and proba- bly will, be DIVEN OUT OF THE COUNTRY. Ihave seen good Republivan papers in the North say that,§I the colured Republicans, when in a majority, could bn {ntimidated and defeated at the polls by a white minority, they deserved to bo defeated,—just because those papers dldn’t understand ‘this thing, I it Is right that the colored men should yots at all, it Is right that they should voto as they want to vote; und the law and the nation which gavethem that right should protect themn in {ts exercise, and they should not be comnpelled to go outside tie law unid depend upon their Individual prow- ess for protection in that right. God knows tuey have suilered enough. Thousands of colured men who voted tho Republican ticket In this State nt the last olectlon belleved that by dotug it they risked thelr lives, and many of them did do so. Sows have pald the penalty, und many others ave refugees, and have lelt thele crups of cotton In the fleld ungathered,— the result of their whole year's labor,” There wre a grood many Republicans in tho North who would not like to suffer os much as that for thelr party. ‘Tue most woful cases that have come to the surfacu ard those frum Ouachita Parish, BLIZA PINKSTON, ' whase casw was briefly telegraphed to and pub- lghed fn Tug TRisuNs of Tuesduy mnorning, is, in her present vonditlon, o terrible ‘monument of the savagery aud brutality of the bulldozers of that Jocatity, ler wounds are terrible, and the manner in whivh they wero recelyed, as de- talled in her sworn statement, is absolutely horrible, Twas present, with sevoral United Btates army otllcers, aiid some of the eminent vigitors from the North, facluding Gen, Harry White, Congressiunn-elect to the next House from Penusylvania, and the Ion, Eugene Hale, when sho related hor story, and I never saw a more horrificd expression on the faccs of a body of men than weru presented during fts recital. She I8 & dark, grief woman,—that fs, about three-fourths bLlack,—of middling size, and looks to be about 85 years old. Her eyes are very black, and she looks ke a woman of a good deal of character. The fact that she has lived so longainee recelving her terrible wounds, spuaks volumes for her coustitution and endur- ance, 8he uses the negro patols In her conver- sation, and speaks with dificulty, as she has a bullet-hole through her lungs, and her throat is cut in addition to her other wounds, Bhe statcs that an sttewpt was wade to induce her to say her busband and bube were killed by *the Yau- koes,"—meaning the Fedoral soldlers,—but she would not.
