Bvery disturbance thut occurred, no matter whether jiersonal or otlierwisg, wus churged by tho Hepublican press to the Demo- cratic party, and the Denocrats were onxious that thore sliould be no pretest for do uaing any acts of violence. Charges hnd been made heretor fore of ncts af yiolence, and polls wera thrown ont Dy tho Returning Board in consequence. Thero lind been considerablo riots in the State sinco he liad llved {n Now Orleans, vix: in 146t, and In Septembor, 1874, In New Orleans, and in Colfax In 18734, which were attended by loss of life. Couldn't wive the number killed In them, ‘Ihey wero mostly Rtopublieans in the ona of 1860, and the others wera of both parties, Could not state positively, but thought the number of colored men killed Were largely In excoms, Knew only from published re- ports. ‘Fho Ktate Goverament for the past eight years has been very bad, having wrung heavy taxa- tlon from the peonle, conforred no bemetlia upon the people, and it kind no confidence of the peoble, cltiier whtite or Ulack, ud far as Lis pereonul observatlon extended.

Unlevs we have a Demaocratic National Administeation It would be Im- possible to have a Democratic State Ad- ministration, We elected a Domoacratic State Governor, bnt the Returning Duard roversed that order, This ls matter of fact, Incommon with emincnt counsol, thinks the law creating tho Teturning Board unconstitutionnl, but it did con- for power on tho Iefurning Board under cortain contingencled to roject votes, No tribtnal in the Stnte has power o decide the unconstitutlonallty of tho lteturning Board ne created. If thera wasa change of Nativnal Adminfetration the National Government will ace thut it hoa o republlcsn form of government, or at lcast ono fairly elected by tho neople, L thought that the Bupremo Court had decided that it had no power to g bolind the acts of tho Retnraing Board inono or tiwo instances, Conldi't state what process would be necessary in arder to have the Supreme Court of tha State pass nupon the unconstitutionallty of the law «-.mnunfl the Returolny -~ Doard, Thonght tho oard had violafed the law cree ullnfi 1t by throwing out three polls in Concordia, The hoxes wero sent for and counted by the Ioard; anil nthe casc of Kast Suton llouge, whero the Buporvisor alvo rejected the polls, the Board ro- fueed (o doso, Thisaction mado o difference of ahout H00.
