PETITIONS AND MEMORIALS.
Mr. Ingraham, by unanimous consent
introduced the following petition, waici
was ordered to be printed in the journal
To the Honorable President and Members of I'M
the Senate:
The petition of ID. J. Hutchinson with re
| 5pect represents:
| That your petitioner was candidate on
| the Republican ticket for the office OF Sena-
tor from the the fourth senatorial district,
subject to the choice Of the electors OF the
city of New Orleans voting within the
I'limits of the said senatorial district at the
late general election, Monday. November q,
| ISs Z, 06lu III CDe CITY VI AfC" oAiSdhot thot
according to full, fair and complete COM
putation your petitioner received a very
considerable majority beyond the votes
cast in favor of the only opposing candi-
date, b. f. Jonas, Esq; that in this esti-
mate your petitioner has not included a
| further great number of votes of which he
has been fraudulently, illegally and IN
justly deprived, as will appear upon due
| and careful examination; that beside and
| in addition IN fbp funfa har4in aPfy forth
| your petitioner represents that other undue
| and reprehensible means and subterfuges
have been resorted to in the said election,
in order to defeat the lawful and well
founded claims of petitioner to his seat in
your honorable body; that many Illegal
votes were cast in favor of the opposing
candidate and that very great number OF
votes cast in favor of petitioner as candi-
date upon the Republican ticket were re-
fused and rejected without reason; that the
ballot boxes of the various polls in the said
senatorial district were tempered with to
the prejudice of petitioner, and with the
design to defeat the expression of the popu-
lar will.
Wherefore, petitioner prays, the prem
ises considered, that he be recognized as
the only true and lawfully elected Senator
from the fourth senatorial district; that
bis qualifications as such be admitted and
approved by the honorable the Senate of
the State of Louisiana, and that he be per
mitted to take his seat in the said hOnora-
bic body, and there represent his constit-
uents whose sufrages have entitled him to
the same. And petitioner will ever pray,
etc. D. j.. HUTCHINSON.
