PETITIONS AND MEMORIALS.
TPr. fngraham, by unanimous consent,
introduced the following petition; which
was ordered to be printed in the journal
SO the Honorable President and Members of the
the Senate:
The petition of 70. o. Hutchinson with re-
spect represents:
That your petitioner vas 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
limits of the said senatorial district at the
late general election, Monday, November 4,
1872, held in the city of New Orleans; that
according to a 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. +. Jonas, Esq: that in this esti-
mate your petitioner has not included
further great number of votes of which he
has been fraudulently, illegally and I'M
justly deprived, as will appear upon due
and careful examination; that beside and
in addition to the facts herein set forth,
your petitioner represents that other undue
and reprehensible means and subtertuges
have been resorted to in the said election,
in order to defeat the lawful and we'll
founded claims of petitioner to his seat in
your honorable body; that many illegal 4
votes were cast in favor of the opposing
and that very great number of
votes cast IN favor Of petitioner as can1i-
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
nitted to take his seat in the said honora- |
Die body, and there represent his c0nstit- |
lents whose suffrages have entitled him to |
he same. And petitioner will ever pray, |
to. D. J. HUTCHINSON.
