New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-11-16

We reproduce the following from thr
Tcnsas Gu-cHc even at the expense OF u
laugh at the Republican who did not sue
coed i'll voting:
Some amusing incident, occurred III the
polls here during the election on Monday
One old darkey upon being told TO show his
registration papers, pulled out OF the depth"
of his pockets a license to preach a. a mill
lister in the Baptist Church. This was cA-
amined by the commissioners and returned
as not the right paper. and he pulled ont Il
bill of ladng. This being refused. he
brought out a third paper, which proved to
be an account Of sales OF cotton from mcr
chant : Now Orleans. When the voter
was in.u.me, thcs. papers would not
antitle him 70 Pc. in his ticket, ne turned
away thoroughly Disguised, declaring that
if il cost SO much trouble to vote he would
not vote at all. There was deal of tail
swearing done by some OF the newly en-
franchised, and the Parish Attorney will,
no doubt. present some OF them tor perjury
and fraudulent attempts to vote when court
meets.

Mr.. Farmer also said that all shipmasters
knew how common it was for a ship to be
ready to sail and seaman would be found to
be deserter and the captain would have to
pick up the first man he could get in his place
and therefore the commissioners Office might
be shut and the vessel delayed in sailing.
Capt. Button said that by the new law, in

Geo. W. Dunn et al. to recover the penalty of a
fraudulent transfer of property made by Frank Hol-
land TO the Dunns, both parties being aware of the
facts and that the whole transaction was for the pur
pose of cheating Hollands ere litos. At that trial
Holland testified that Geo. w. Dunn paid him osten-
sibly sum of money and received transfer of the
stock,but that the money Immediately paid back
to Dunn, the operation being desi. ned to put the
property into Duna's hands and thereby prevent its
attachment, by the creditors. The Dunns at thst
time denied any knowledge OF the trand and stated
that the sale as far as they were concerned was a
bona fide transaction. The case resulted in disa-
greement Of the jury. An Indictment was found for

THE REPORTED SENATORIAL CORRUPTION ON
THE GEORGIA ELL.
The Senatorial Committee on the alleged
corruption of Senators in relation to the
Georgia Bill, after examining a large number
of Witnesses, arrived at the following concu.
illusions: That Z. j. Avery both attempted
and used improper means to influence Sena-
tors to vote against the Bingham amendment;
and that Lewis Porter as an officer of the gov
ernment acted improperly in undertaking for
pay to ad him in his purpose; that Il. b. Bull
lock in paying ID. G. Forney publisher of the
Chronicle and having the patronage OF the gov
ernment triple prices for printing pamphlets
and inserting in his paper articles and speech
es on the Georgia question, and Forney in
publishing said articles and speeches with edi-
torials, concealing the fact that he was over
paid, for some double and triple prices, did use
improper means to influence the vote OF Sena-
tors on the Georgia question. There is no evil
dence that any Senator was Influenced, but it
is not unreasonable to suppose that newspa-
per in the position of the Chronicle, enjoying
to some extent the confidence of the admins
tration and of the dominant party in Congress,
would have an influence with Senators.
The report is signed by Messrs. Trumbul,
Eamunds, Conkling, Carpenter and Thurman.
| The report of the minority, so far as Avery and
Porter are concerned, is fully sustained by the
evidence, but there is no evidence to convict
any Senator Gov Bullock with the conduct or
purposes of any of these men, they cannot con-
cur in the report of the majority wherein it
| attaches blame to Gov Bullock.

A SOLDIERS MoSUMENT.-Ihe decision of
the Post Of the Grand Army Of the Republic
in this city to erect npon the lot just secured
to them in Evergreen Cemetery suitable
monument has again suggested the propriety
OF placing in some conspicuous place in the
city-perhaps on Lincoln Park--a Soldiers
Monument similar to those which have been
raised in so many other towns and cities IN
this and other Northern States. Compared
with other communities we have been rather
dilatory if not negligent, in expressing IN
some appropriate and substantial form our de-
sire to perpetuate the memories of our dead
soldiers, and to tell in an--enduring manner to
those who shall come after us the story of the
war, its cost in blood and treasure. Fortu-
nately we are now in excellent pecuniary con-
diton as city to carry into execution some
design of this kind. The city has now in its
treasury a large sum, returned to it from the
State for bounties paid to enlisted soldiers. OF
this sum about $4,000 was received for men
whose bounties were paid out of fund OF
$4,000 raised by private subscription at an i'm
promptu mass meeting held at City Hall on q
memorable occasion. This money was placed
in the hands of q gentleman appointed to act
for the city, and under his judicious disburst-
ment it went far towards relieving the city
from heavy necessary payments. Under the
bounty equalization act the sum above stated
has been returned. The city is, in equity, but
the trustee of this fund, and there appears to
be- no good reason why portion Of this
money-perhaps tenth-should not be appro-
priated for the purpose we suggest.
HAYDN ASSOCIATION CoNCERT.-Want of
space prevents us from speaking of this con-
cert, which came off last evening, in such
terms as it deserves. Notwithstanding the
great attraction at City Hall, which was free,
there was good attendance, and those present
were well repaid for their going. The solos by
Mrs. Weatherbee, Miss Scott, Mr.. Thurston
and Mr.. Shaw were handsomely rendered and
the choruses were grandly sung. Kotzschmar
welded the baton with fine effect, and the in
strumental performances, though the orches-
ira was light, were excellent We trust tue
concert may be repeated for the beneiit of those
who were unable to be present last evening"

that this hotel is to be re-opened again in a

thoroughly new-furnished, and will be kept in

as landlord are well. known here. The loca-
ton is an excellent one for business men, and
as the house has always had good reputation
it will speedily become a favorite abiding place
