NOT FULL STATEMENT.
From The Al6aHy Egenfng Journal tAdrs Rsp)
The Committee OF Citizens OF Louisiana
have issued long address to the people upon the anaTs
OF their unhappy State. The people would listen 10 any
OF tacts with candid attention Ihey want
know the truth They do not want IL tortured III te
interest OF either party. They desire only tat Justice
shall be done, though the political heavens Ia III Tue
Louisiana Committee can show facts winch nave not
been understood can present them In such
a hight as that different course OF pro-
cedue should be taken are ready TO listen ana heed
And so we believe the Administration and the peo-
pie. But search this address IN vain for any new
facts. There Is, indeed very little exposition OF the
proceedings in II. 1t dcvotes paragraph or two 10
statement that the sOcaed Kellogg Returning BOARD
did not canvass the actual returns but made up returns
Of is statement which has heretofore been made
and which Is well understood grow OF the e1ciu
sion Of the negro votes by the Warmothltes BeyOnu
this the address is mainly legal discussion VI the urs
dcon OF the Federal Court 1t does not present null
clear, consecutive statement OF the controversy ana Oh
ma yarious proceedings such as we should welcome, II
II were only authentic. That would De Oi Vaue-the
legal discussion is for another tribunal.
