The recent activity in art interests in this city has prevented our hitherto speaking as much in detail as we could have wished in reference to what ts te be seen at the rooms of Madame H. de Hazard, at the northeast corner of Seventeenth street and Fourth avenue, open for the reception of visitors at a price which Madame Hazard, who is of mixed Russian and German descent, is better known in society circles of Rome and Paris as an accomplished lady than as a professional artist. She is a fine linguist, a composer and musical ama- teur; has repeatedly, in the schools of Milan and Turin, taken the first prizes fer modelling, and has Won admiration in Rome and Florence, in face of the fact that women there are not permitted to compete for art medals. infer, however, that her ruling passion ts love of art as expressed in sculpture. and patient years she devoted to the exccutien of those works with which her rooms at No. 50 Union place are enriched, and which are now exhibited for the first time prior to theirsale. Her concep- tions are delicate and original. skill evidenced in the most minute details are rarely exhibited tn greater perfection. We can recall no other sculptress now in this country whose recent work presents an equal claim. Upon entering the rooms the first group that attracts attention is one named “Abpvandonata,” represent- ing @ mother and her two little children left to themselves, The attitude of the mother power- fully indicates immeasurable dejection—a dejection which might almost be termed despair, anger nor horror, neither hepe nor resolution, 1s The story told is one of irremediablo misery, far beyond the scope of those expressions 12 which common Those reoms are now Greeley Electors Oertificd To by the Gover- nor, but the Official Returns Not Legally Counted. is merely nominal.

A Itis claimed on behalf of this Board that, by the ae. mand upon Governor Warmoth, that he should produce before them the official re of the election, and refusal to do 80, a foundation was laid for the Introduction of secondugy evidence to prove the contents and charac- ter of such Witicial retarns, upon which secondary evi- dence the Court might be made, Without entering into the discussion of the legal question, whether a suffictent foundation had thus been laid for the introduction of sec- ondary evidence as to the character of the returns, itis sufficient to say if such foundation had been laid it could only justity the introduction of secondary evidence to prove the actual character and contents of the returns; and the testimony before the committee shows the evi- eauee whick the Lynch Returning Board had before them en 10 CONTRADICT THE FACE OF THE RETURNS, TO suOW FRAUD AND WHAT THR VOT SHOULD HAVE BREN, and that in making their count the Board did not rely so much upon the evidence as to what the official returns showed, but upon the evidence which, in many cases, contradicted and denied their correctness. Among other evidences the Lynch Board counted some five thousand affidavits as voles for Presidential electors, State officers and members of the Legislature. These affidavits pur- Ported to have been made by persons—mostly persons of color—who had been denied the right of registration, and whose votes had been refused at the polls. In many of thein it was stated these rights had been denicd them because of race, color or previous condition of servitude, and many ot them contained no such statements. It is urged these affidavits might be counted as votes under the provisions of the act of Congress ot 1870, to enforce THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION. A brief examination of that act will show this claim is unfounded. By the third section of that act it is pro- vided that where a person has offered (y register or to erform any act required by law preliminary to voting, rom the performance of which he has been wrongfully hindered io esnas or person in authority, the offer to register and to perform the preliminary act s! taken as a performance, and upon proof thereof such pergon shall ha ight to vote just if such prelimi act had been performed. But there is no provision in the law that if any person has been refused the right to vote and has performed such preliminary act or offered to bring a suit in the Courts of the United States to recov the office. But the section expressly provi benefits shall not extend to candidates for the State Leg: lature, for Gy or for Electors for President and Vico President, The section clearly contemplates a suit in fraudulently clectea Halibe made party, ead that moon audulently elec’ ma ty, feeat proof that the plaintiff has been deprived of his count of race color. or Drevioks aqndition of servitude, ho count of race, color or a shall be entitied to recoverthe office. ry TUTE OF LOUISIANA authorizes the sipervicoss ofregistrat ion in the parishes, or the commissioners of election, to make affidavit in re- gard to apr violence: tumult, fraud or bribery Dy which a fair election has been prevented, which shail be for- warded fo tho Returning Board along with the returns, and upon which the Returning Board may reject the vote ofa pollin making a count, and if the evidence of the officers of the election is not sufficient to satisfy the minds of the Returning Board in regard to the matters Sheree apers air no authority to mak inve: the foundation is frat \d_by the sworn testimon: of the officers of elocilon as before mentioned, 10 a fhe rind thelr writ without having ¢ sWorn siateménts of the officers of election to give them jurisdiction to investigate, secured affidavits of the statements of supervisors of election appointed under the act of Congress, ‘ mee LEITRRS AND VERBAL STATEMENTS, UPON WHICH THEY AS- FuyED TR AUTHOR in vartons cases {6 refoct the éntire votes of parishes, and in many instances to throw out fhe votes ot particular Polls and wards and in others to estimate and fix the vote at about what they aut d it ought to be from their owe je of the political status of the parish or lo- cality. The ‘evidence submitted to the Board, and which has been described to the committee, undoubtedly produces the conviction in their minds that THE BLECTION HAD BLEN AN ORGANIZED FRAUD, Govérnor Warmoth under the act of 1870 had the whole machinery of the election in hisown hands. He had the Sppoltienens ot fapervisors of registration in the differ- ent parishes and the appointment of commissioners of election, and these officers, with but few exceptions, were << AFPOINTED FROM THR RANKS OF THOSE WHO WERE OP- POSED TO THE RXPUBLICAN PARTY, and we think, from the informal evidence before the Re- turning Board and from what this committee h ned in the course of this investigation, there is lit loubt that those advantages were used to the utmost and every means resorted to in order to secure the triumph of the Darty with which Governor Warmoth was acting. Great difficulties were thrown in the way of registration; publicans in many parishes were put to great incon- venience to find the registrar, and in mi instances ‘were unable to do so; places of registering and of voting in many parishes wero fixed at points remote from the centres of population, often without notice ot the place Deing given. FALSE REGISTRATION PAPERS, DOUBLE VOTING, STUFFING BAL- LOT Bo: XE and other fraud: id irregularities were charged in a majority of the Parishes, and there isnot much room to doubt that the Lynch Retarning Board were of the opin- ion that upon a fair election the republican party would have carried the State, and has been cheated and nin dered in every way possible by the power that controlled the machinery of the election. But notwithstanding all this, the Lync Main Board, with the sort of evi- dence which was before them had no power under the Er of et to pty corirate ord oad es of eee eee jury or to act upon their convictions Wrougs tha’ had been suffered es THE ELKCTION OF THE GREELEY ELECTORS was certified to by the Governor of the State, but the off- cial returns of tae election have not been counted by the Returning Bor created by the laws of Louisiana for that purpose, and the persons who, in fact made the ex- amination and count had no legal authority to do so.

As to the other questions upon which the committee are instructed to Lay gy thon | the existence of a legal State government in Louisiana and admission of @ Senator irom that State, they are not ow prepared to report.
