Mr. Yo-ke, of Carroll, chairman of the
Committee on Elections and Qualifications,
submitted the following report, which was
received and sdopted:
House, OF REPRESENTATIVES,
state OF LOUISIANA
Ro1,us9f Committee on Conte, cd FL cti1ns
aud Qualifications,
New Orleans A. gust II s4s J
To the Honorable Speaker and Members of the
sembly Of the State OF Louisiana:
GEsTLENEN-We the undersigned, mem
bers OF the Committee on Elections and
| Qualifications, to whom was referred the
| case of contest of John SeIden against
james R. Currell, have decided that accord
| ing to the law governing such cases. they
| can only consider the charge of "Iuelgibil-
| ity,n for the following reasons:
That up to the twentieth day of July, 1868,
the charge Of ineligiblity WAS the only one
| pr ferr, by belden against Currell, and the
| Only charge on which the contest for the
seat of said Currell was based.
The law on this point is found in the
1 I IaVrs snI ,NtrN IS Y 81
| (see page 2l9 section fifty.tour.) and reads:
ANY person intending to contest m
election shall within thirty days of the eec-
ton, in case OF u Representative or Senator,
| give to the person concerned a written no.
tice, under his hand, and attested by two
| subscribing witnesses, stating the fact on
| which the contest is based, and no other
| can afterWard be admitted; and ten days
| notice Of the time and place of sklng depn-
| sitions thereon must be given to the opposed
party
We believe that Mr. seldom has complied
with the first portion of this section within
three days OF the meeting of the House; but
he then came forward with a second charge
of fraud, stati e that he found thai he could
not sustain the charge OF iueligibilty.
This second notice, which was served on
Mr. Currell, has the date of the 20,h OF
July, 1863, aud said Currell swears that 1t
was not served on him until the I'D or 23d
day of that month. The result OF election
was proclaimed by General Buchanan on the
| I'd Of June, 1858 hence we see that Mr..
Seldom ATTEMPTED to enter his toOnd charge
forty-eight days after the proclamation.
On examining Mr. Seldom on this matter,
he ut first stated that he did not remen b-r

on the tenth day Of JuIy, 1868.
