War1mOth Reviews the Louisiana Ma
jOrity Report.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial, z
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. %. = Gov.
Warmoth, of Louisiana, is out to-day in
column and a half review of the majority
report Of the Senate Committee on Privi-
lege and Elections, relative 10 affairs in that
State. he impeaches the evidence of the
Kellogg witnesses who appeared before the
committee, and shows that at home many
of them have q disreputable character.
Most of the af1idavits, he says, are based
upon mere hearsay statements, or the be-
lief of the party making them, which in
nine cases out Of ten amounts to nothing.
With regard to the assertion of the COM
mittee's report that in Louisiana the blacks
outnumber the whites, and that in the late
election the negro voters were unanimous
in support of the Republican ticket, Mr..
Warmoth says there are two errors; First,
there is a majority of white people In the
State of Louisiana. The census of 1870
was taken in the summer, when thousands
of white people were abeent at the North,
as is annually the case. The rates of
deaths and births and other statistical tests
of population show the population of New
Orleans to be 100000 instead of 10000.
There is not one per. cent. Of the foreign
born population included in the census
who are not citizens and entitled to the
right to vote. Yet, Notwithstanding the
fact that this census was taken under the
referred to, the white
male reputation of the Ssata above
the age Of twenty-one is returned as num-
boring one hundred and fifty-three
more than the colored. But further, it was
In proof before the committee that several
colored men voted the "FusioD
bASAOts o1mStCou, buO COiOICO II uSiOu
candidate for Secretary Of State, expressed
his belief that over two thousand celored
men voted this ticket in his section of the
State; that be was present and assisted in
forming three Greeley and Brown Clubs in
Caddo, aud two in BoSSier Parishes, and
he saw three hundred colored men vonthe
Fusion ticket in the Parish of Caddo. In.
who made thorough canvass of
the State, gave it as his opinion that from
eight to ten thousand colored men voted
the Fusion ticket, and while Messrs. Pinch
back, Packard, Lynch and Boyce do not
think that any large number of colored men
did vote that ticket, it must be borne in
mind that neither of them was a hundred
miles from New Orleans during the whole
Warmoth contends that there is no reli-
ancs to be placed in the evidence which
tries to prove that there were enough frauds
committed by what is styled the "Fusion-
ists' to invalidate the election. Taking
out of the evidence all that is intended to
establish frauds on the part of the Fusion
lists, Warmoth still thinks that McEnery
was elected by over thirty five bundled ma
jority; or, giving Kellogg the largest Repub-
lican vote ever cast in the Safe, and yet
McEnery would have majority of eight
hundred and seyenty-one. He concludes
by urging upon Congress to recognize the
McEnery government, step which, he
says, would bring peace to the State of
Louisiana.
