II was one of the special points Of ''in-
dependent journalism" to denounce Judge
Durell for his decision affirming the legal
ity of the Lynch-Longstreet Returning
Board in Louisiana, and the President for
sustaining him. In the eyes of the as
sumed champions of this sort of journal
ism, there was peculiar Independence
and no independence without it, in
p~ronouncing this act a piece of usurpation
and abusing the President for it. The act
has since been vindicated by the decision
of the Supreme court Of Louisiana to the
same effect. But we do not observe that
the Independent journals" have either
independence or decency enough to make
amends. Their independence" now, as
last autumn, is altogether on one side.

THE investigation into the Louisiana
election, which is going On before the Sem
ate Committee, fully s~ustains the charges
of gross frauds made against the Liberal
Democratic Fusion officers. 1t is clearly
shown that in many of the parishes the
most systematic and unblushing attempts
were made to prevent Republicans from
voting, and in many cases with success.
The opponents of the Republican party
claimed to carry the State ; but it is now
evident that the claim was based wholly
unon these bold frauds.

freedom, with respect to their civil and political
rights as citizens of the United States, and moved
that It be referred to the ommltte on the judi

in The Globe.
Hon. Charles H. Porter is a member from the
State of Virginia. and has always been found on
the side of justice for the colored man. Mr..
Porter has dine more than any other Republic
can member from the State Of Virginia, In be.
half of his colored constituents, and in our
meetings agitating equality before the law, Mr..
Porter has never been ashamed to let his voice
