LOUISIANA Observation-Disclosures OF NATURAL
lzED VoIRRs-MR. JAcos BARKERs SrATEMENT.-A
great deal oil noise has been made about the country
Ia relation TO the Louisiana election, and the rejection
OF number OF naturalized voters who had received
their papers from the office Of Judge Elliott. IL
seems that the Democrats attribute the poll zeal de-
feat they have sustained, in the city Of New Or
leans, and probably throughout the State, 10 the
rejection OF their naturazed voters and accordingly
controversy OF avery violent and vindictive char
acter has been carried on, III relation 10 the legality
OF that rejection This has received additional
Importance from the fact, that the election in
LOUISIANA was regarded a sort OF test OF The
strength OF the two parties, being the first election
since the nomination Of the candidates. The
doubtful result has been, therefore, very provoking
ard number of suits, criminal and otherwise,
have been insitutdl against the inspectors Of elee-
lion, by whom these voters were rejected.
In order TO give an ineligible and clear view Of
the question affecting this election, so far as the
rights OF the nsturalized voters are concerned, we
publish In our paper to-day statement made 10 the
public, by Mr. Jacob Barker, who was one OF the
inspectors of that election. BY this statement
it will be seen, that certain portion of the
inspectors refused to admit large number Of
naturalized voters, on the ground that their pa
pers had been procured through the Office Of
Judge Elliott before his impeachment and dis.
mlssal. II was admitted on all hands that only
very small portion of the naturalized voters had re.
ceived their papers informally or illegally but still
the inspectors refused TO admit any, TO draw any
distinction between those who were legally quail
fed and those who were not. Mr.. Barker in his
vfho'al capacity in those circumstances, refused to
admit any voter until one of the electors vito had
been legally naturalized, but who was objected TO,
should be admitted
Altogether the case appears 10 have been OF
great violence and passion, and we suppose we
shall have full investigation of it before the next
election; and the legal and illegal voters properly
assorted. MIR. Barker certainly places his conduct
in very clear and Ineligible light, and appears 10
have been perfectly justified in the course I.
adopted. As to the general result of the Louisiana
election ITSELF it is quite impossible to Judge from
it OF the state of popular feeling in that State Both
parties appear to have given pledges in favor Of the
annexation of Texas, and so that question does NOT
come into the Presidential contest there The
Texas question, therefore, stands in Louisiana as
formerly did, and the relative chance OF Clay and
Polk also continues IN the same light
