THE NEW ORLEANS WEEKLY
! oADDO PARISH

In thisSpsrish where Repsblicaa
aboand, but where outrage, yiolenc
and intimidation do much MOI
abound, there is one spot calle'
Mooringsport where the full hea
Of persecution was felt on election
day. j.
The ONION Herald, Of Shreveport
gives o full account Of the series 0
outragos. but We can only csondens'
it for the benefit Of our readers.
The necessity Of having United
States officers to watch the receiving
and counting Of the votes was fell
everywhere, and the authorities ap'
pointed them. In some places they
were we'll received, in others Ill re
ceived,, and in others not received
at all. At Mooringsport MIR: F. lie
gardy showed his U. s. Commits
sion, but Mr.. Hecox, State Assist.
ant Supervisor, refused to recognize
MIR. Legardy and only permitted
him to remain ut a window in sight
under the protection of q United
States soldier; while there he was
buffetted and abused. but he saw
mot less than three hundred Re-
publican votes cast from 8 o'clock
in the morning to 6 o'clock in the
evening" He also heard the free
and frequent acknowledgement Of
Liberals and Democrats hat they
were heavily beaten at that poll.
When the poll closed admission to
the room was refused to the Super
visor, but the {. S. Deputy Marshal,
as a citizen, was permitted to zee
the box sealed, but MI. Hecox alb
sc!utely refused to have Legardy
because he "did not want any
damned negro with him." After a
period Of exclusive possession and
a series of manipulations and trans
portations.' the box was opened in
the Registrars office: and presto,
the two hundred to three hundred
Republican tickets had dwindled
down to II! "1he seal Of the boz
uas detoced as fit had been tempered
and again resealcd.
Says the Herald:
"Now, we do charge that Henry
Hecox e. al. did break the seal,
placed upon the ballot-box at Moor
ingsport, in the presence Of the
United States Marshal, and that he
did open said box and take there
from Republican ballots from two
and fifty to three hundred
md put therein the same number
# Greeley tickets; and this the
said Hecox did secretly and in de-
lance of law. The official conduct
said Hecox, throughout the day,
that he premeditated fraud.

Nor had Gen. Heron and Sena.

as soon as the Governor refused to
put the motion to fill the vacancies,
Gen. Heron put it himself, and he
and Mr.. Lynch voted for It. Or
the appearance Of the Governors
appointee further proceeding seem
to have stopped, and these two gen
tlemen refusing to admit the new
member, left the room, Mi. Lynch,
the Secretary, taking the minutes
with him. The Governor then re-
cognized Col. Wharton and the two
claiming to be a Board elected
F. Hatch and Durant DaPonte,
and filed their number.
On the other hand Messrs. Her
ron and Lynch elected Gen. Long
street and Judge Hawkins and COM
pleted their Board. The Governor
il thus a member of both boards.
In this condition the people Of Lou

that the votes they have cast will
pass through enough scrutiny be-
fore the various candidates finally
get them, and the candidates can
"possess their souls in patience" with
the assurance that they are in the
