report:
7 DOM OF House COMMITTEE ON
Elections arc Q1aht catio8s
New Orleans, La, March 2, lS70. }
To the Honorable speaksr and Me bers of the
House CT Representatives of the State of Lou
isiena:
GENTLEMRN-The case Of the parish of
East Baton Rouge, in which william Brown
contests the seat of Hon. James McCullen
i'll your honorable body, having undergone
q careful consideration by your committee,
it's final settlement is recommended, upon
the following conclusions. The journal of
the first session Of the Legislature will show
that the Honorables Robert and Y. III.
Lange, OF the same parish, were successful
III their contest against iir. Cheney and DR..
Huget; although they had no higher vote
than Mr., E! own received as a candidate
against Mr.. Mcrullen; proof of which is on
tlein the Office of the Secretary Of State.
The reason that Mr.. Brown is not now
seated, will be seen in the fact that sickness
prevented his attendance at the first session,
so his case was not urged upon the atten-
ton of the committee amidst its pressure
OF business.
From all the circumstances known to the
committee, had his contest been Instituted
simultaneously with that of the Messrs.
Langes, the opinion is that he would have
been equally successful, but unfortunately
the evidence prepared and printed in the
Case of the parish of East Baton Rouge.
which, by the way, was very elaborate and
convincing, has been misiaid or otherwise
destroyed during the. interval between your
last and the present session, so that your
committee Can not possibly embrace it in
this report, aud as the House is upon it's
eve of adjournment the testimony can not
be retaken in time to submit it.
Your committee are. therefore, of the
opinion that the case can not be settled
upon its merits, but as MIR. Brown has been
constantly IN attendance. manifestlng q de-
sire aud energy to bring it to termination,
the following resolution is submitted for
your action and its passage recommended:
Resolved, That William Brown, contest
ing the seat of James McCullcn, Repre-
sentative from the parish of East Baton
Rouge, be allowed mileage and per diem
from the commencement Of this session to
the date of the adoption Of this resolution
and that the contest is hereby dismissed.
