Federal Government did anything more than noanI-
fest an earnest desire to secure fill and free ex-
presaion Of popular will that ths Judges conducted
the elections at ali polling places with perfect fair
nces, and tat nothing waa done by ctyillana to JUS

selves judges a. to the right Of voting md
v1o1ated their; duty as. good citizens by
interfering by threats Of violence and 9th
er modes Of intimidation, 20 far aa to
render the election nul1Ity; such inter-
terance being more injurious because OF the dis
,tu1bcd state Of the public mind. The minority re-
port written BY III. .UpEon, and aigncd By smithe.s
Smith, and Scons1d, says that on the contestant's

had formerly served In the rebel army, and that a
large number Of the uniformed militia charged with
interference, wcrc entitled to vose themselves.

ton. and Of 4. G. Clements In the 37th Congress,
which the minority stats tQ.bc stronger eases ol
military interference than that in hand get It was
decided differently.
