lava You had an election law which,
was in opposition to the Constitution.
Your law wss unconstitutional, and
after all was fixed you could not tell
which was the election board. One
had no returns Applause. and one
had returns which were declared frands
and another had returns which were
as you think legal, and by which Nc
Emery waa declared elected. To decide
these the United States Court took the
matter in hand, out OF the State Courts,
and attempted TO settle the question.
II this could be done constitutionslly, q
mere Judge could at any time turn
over q State. Applause. The Nc
Euery men did not believe IN this.
There were two Legislatures, and conse-
auently two Senator'S. Aessrs. Rsy and
Mcmillan. We took up both OF these
cases and made full inquiry. We
wanted to hear from everybody, and
everybody was heard, and the COM
mittee was satisfied that if the election
had realiy elected anybody McEnery
was elected. Immense enthusiasm
and applause But We were not well
satisfied OF this, and that is what's the
matter. If the returns were truthfni,
McEnery was elected, but as the case
Was presented to us We were satisfied
the election was not fairly held. The
question then waA what could be done 7
kellogg was not elected at all, and Nc.
Emery was elected, il at all, by fraud.
The logical course then seemed to us
that there had been no election. We

We therefore said the only WAY to do

The rascally proceedings in Louisiana
are of such a character that even the
mos, thorough psrtisans and friends OF
Grant cannot sustain them. Here is
an utterauce of the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher on the subject:
1.-THE condition OF Louisiana ia alike
perilous and scsndalous. If Congress,
at the last session, had had the neces-
sary independence and frmness and
the sense Of justice which the occasion
required, the President would have had
no excuse for supporting by the bayo-
net a State government in Louisiana
which the most distinguished Repub.
lican Senators have declared is founded
upon an Infamous usurpation. II the
time spent in communicating the back.
pay fraud had been honestly devoted TO
the settlement of affairs in Louisiana,
the scandal we now witness would have
been avoided"

diary, and showed me the resolution Of
censure, and the names OF those who
voted for it. He spoke with contempte
uous pharse. if not with bitterness OF
men who ceusured him, and came to
his seat to implore him to give his vote
to the salary grab, This. he said, he
could not do; though be admitted that
he good humoredly, and out OF his
weakness toward these beggars, with.
held his vote on one or two subsidiary
questions. He said be had done no
wrong. and never dreamed Of bribing
any member-and on this point he was
ever emphatic aud decided in his lang
uage, apparently having no regret or
sense Of doing wrong thing, however
