the ballot boxes on the day of the election,
had compiled the returns to suit, and the
Forman board, eager to declare their party
successful, compounded with their con-
sciences and made oath to facts of which
they had no knowledge? Moreover, these
returns profess to be signed by two men,
Senators Todd and Hunsaker, and l hold
their affidavits that they never did sign
them. Their names are forged.
Some OF the adventures OF these returns
were ludicrOus enough. 1t having become

ing into the hands of the officers of
the law, trusty henchmen were called
into service and during three nights and
days the authentic ~ returns Of the famous
election in Louisiana were transferred by
them to place of hiding. In their pockets,
in their pantalOon legs, in their boots, their
hats, the reliable evidences Of the expressed
will Of the people were sacredly transport
ed. As one Of the party tells me- 1--WE went
into the Governors thin and came out fat!'
They went in skeletons and came out Fall
stats. Their clothes were wadded with
these authentic returns of the election IN
Louisiana. And then what did they do
with them? They took them for safe keep
ing to the quarters or residence OF prom.
nent candidate on the State ticket and left
them in his charge week for safe keeping.
They must, of course, have been very
sacredly kept. OF course, when they are
brought here the parties that are Interested
in establishing them can with deal of com
placency appeal to these as the returns of
how the people in Louisiana voted on that
day. Why, sir, they were pointed out to
one of these gentlemen in the room of the
Committee on Privileges and Elections; and
the committee asked him if he knew those
returns Yes he said, he did know them;

that he admitted bound him and his follow
ers. What the party of the second part to
this compact, Governor Warmoth, thought
of it, is shown by his speech on the same
occasion. He says:
"a great deal has been said of me because
of my course IN relation to certain legisla-
ton in this State. 1t is known to all Of you
that recommend in no uncertain language
to the Legislature the repeal of q certain
law. The Legislature did after fashion
modify these laws Those bills have passed
the Legislature and are before me for sig
nature. Now propose to tell the people
of this city, and through the press repre-
sented here the people of the State, the
simple, plain reason that do not sign these
laws. In the first place they make no ma
terial modification of the old election and
registration laws. In the second place it
was intended, when the repeal of these
laws was forced through the Legislature,
that instead OF them General Grant should
use his election law upon the people OF this
State, and then, besides that, the great
mass of the people who have SO long de-
handed the modification or repeal of these
laws have changed their minds"
The great mass of the people who had
denounced these laws as outrageous changed
their minds and were willing to take all the
false advantages under which they could
be used for their benefit.
Now let me digress here q moment with
reference to our election law. The Senator
from Wisconsin the other day charged that
Governor Warmoth had, as a matter of de-
cency, repealed that election law. He did
it under necessity to perfect his own
schemes. The Legislature elected at the
same time with Governor Kellogg re-enact-
ed one provision of it, and only for par
ticular purpose. There were Q number of
vacancies in the Legislature, and the new
election law, which was approved by Gov
ernor Warmoth November 20, 1879, pro-
vided that those members should be re-
turned to the Legislature through the in
OF police juries; and, mas.
much as no police juries had been elected
or were recognized in the various parishes
throughout the State, the Legislature reen-
acted that clause and enabled the Gov

II they believe that McEnery was elected
they should demand, and be satisfied with
nothing less, than that he should be pos
sessed of the executive chair.
- am convinced that Mr.. Kellogg was elect
ed, and my efforts shall be continued to
maintain him where he is. Did / think
otherwise would not hesitate moment to
installment of the rightful Governor but a
new election ordered by Congress is no
remedy for the evils which are complained
of by those who favor it.
Now, Mr.. President, will pass from the
politics OF Louisiana and refer somewhat to
her material and social interests. 1t has
been the common charge rung throughout
South were responsible for the decay and
the detriment and the disaster that prevail
throughout many of those States. True,
we are, to certain extent responsible.
Let us understand what that extent is, and
let as be judged by the facts that each Sen
ator can present for consideration here.
The oppressed condition of the Industrial
and agricultural interests of Louisiana and
the prOstrati0n of the commercial business
of New Orleans are referred to as the re-
suits of Republican misrule. Even these
adverse circumstances are much exagger-
ated, and 1T is gross error to ATTRIBUTE
them as mainly due to political causes. We
all know that when material prosperity
lags, all people, and more particularly our
people, address their first complaints against
the administration of their government.
This is the necessary consequence Of our
institutions. Dissatisfaction takes shape in
stantly, as opposed to the governing power,
and the first thought of relief creates an
expectation that change of political con-
troll will insure 1t.
There is maxim applicable here, and one
which we will do wen to consider in its ap-
plieation to the distress prevailing through
out the land, the spirit Of which is lkeiy to
events Of the next few years. 1t is said
Murder u.o's family and he will brook it,
But keep your hands out of his breaches pocket.
. Wheh the people Of this country are dis
tressed they VII call rs to account because
their pockets ouffer; and it 10 we'll for Us to
consider that maxim In its application to

nefarious attempt at arson was reported yes
terday morning by Captain Allatre, of the Twenty
first precinct, which might have resulted in de.
plorable loss OF life. The house which has escaped

Is one Of two tenement houses situated at Nos 2o3
and pol Lexington avenue. The ground floor OF
No. 203 Is occupied BY Mr. Stealing. respectable
German butcher. The cellar under his store was
used BY him Tor storing away empty casks, pack
ing materials and some OF the implements OF his
business. This cellar was perfect finder box,
everything in 1t beng a. dry as chips. All the
materials Tor nne blaze were there. The match
only had to be applied.
Between three and f0ur O'Clock yesterday morn

BrOphy saw at once that there was sOmet thing
wrong and entered the house BY the front door
In the hallway, near the top OF the stairs, he en-
owen Reilly. The oficer insisted on having
Reily's company IN the cellar, and with that view
dragged him into the midst OF the blaze. Reilly
hot for him, but Br0phy's revolver retained him
an unwilling victim. 1t took the officer con.
was .aken To the poce Station as
Reilly was not living In this house. HIS only
reason for being there at such an untlmely hour,
according to his own statement, was that he had
come for some shirts which one OF tire dodgers had
in keeping for him. He was in the employment OF
MT. ByTneb DuIueF anu owner OF Tile houses, Us
whitewasher and general utility man, but on ac-
count OF unsatisfactory conduct ne was dismissed.
Whether his Ill fortune led him into the ab0mina.
BILE act Of attempting 10 set TINS house on fire
must be decided by jury. He has been held by
Justice sherwood for examination next Monday.
In the house in question, which is o i've stored

these there were nine women and ten children.
Had the officer not come up at the moment the
staircase, which vas right above the cellar would
have been burned down IN few minutes, and
there would have been no means OF egress Tor the
unfortunate inmates except what the hook and
ladder companies might have supplied. Mr..
Stealing was not insured. Captain Aaire has
secured the badly charred butchers block and the
burned barrels, ana they enjoy the quiet OF cell
at the Twenty ninth precinct station house ct this
