Personally appeared before me join,

That, early 10 September, 1872 ON
lied q club, known as the Grant RAM
located on the Metairie ridge, oppOsss
CITY Park, and in the sixth ward Al
CITY; this club numbered 100 legalRr
llcan voters, and, owing to frivolous III
calities and pretended misundsrstnS
of the limits of the sixth ward by tr,
gistrar; l verify believe that oil, Ur
near all the members of thin
1.-THE Grant Rangers), were refused
right to register their onames az vot,n,
they had the legal right to do; on onsw
sion l accompanied fifteen men, Mn
voters in the sixth ward, to the oxrI
registrations; the registrar raised dim,
as to their right to be registered hi
sixth ward, and no evidence these man.
myself could adduce would induce hinl
do the duty he had sworn to do; Tia
fifteen men were not registered and VA
deprived of their just right to vote ont
fourth day of November, 1872, andbys
same ruling of the registrar all the nh
residing in the extreme back or westu
of the sixth ward of this city wen /
prived of their legal right to be regsas
as voters, and, of course, also depriydt
their Just right to vote on the fourthdrt
November, 1872; know. of my own km
edge, 2O5 legal voters, all Republicans
the sixth ward, who were thus debsm
from voting; also know of l26 duly m
fed Republican voters who had therM
tration papers and presented themselves
the polls. demanding their right 70 vi
and were refused, and did not vote ont
fourth day Of November, 1872; thss;
legal voters, l know, of my own knH
edge, would have voted .ha straight
publican ticket had they not been ilsn
deprived of their rights by the StatsM
trar and the State commissioners Of d
ton: on this straight Republican tiekets
the name Of Mr.. f. Detiege as a canda
for State Senator; | know, OF myg
knowledge, that the house on front Lev
known as Brewster's boardingbous,
no other apartment used IS sleF
apartment for bOarder5 than the To
story Were the sailors sleep on thetf
this place can not contain more y
eighty men; yet, b. the count Of pollM
in the sixth ward, 200 votes were casth
this house; Divane's house, on Old Lev
street, registered at the same ward
men, which house can not possibly cont
over fifty dodgers; another house on thee
ner of Barracks and Gallatin streets,E
four rooms for dodgers, registered ll9n
which could not contain over twenVF
| dodgers; and neither of the last DAN
houses had during the time OF the regsa
ton, in September, 1872, more than tVt
two dodgers; thus $50 votes were iunH
from these three houses; it IL sure thasN
of them were cOlored, and fair to prssa
none were Republican or legalvoters;ln
that the box containing the votes cM
poll Ne. 7, in the sixth ward, was tauFs
with in some way, for sally man plaen
