LOUISIANA.
NEW ORLEANS, November I6.-N.
Underwood, supervisor of registration,
and Cohen, clerk of the court of st.
Sanes parish, were arrested to-day by
Deputy United States Marshal Flood,
charged with being engaged in altering
election returns. In the room where the
parties were arrested, on Rampant street,
quantity of tally sheets, statements of
votes, several thousand Republican tick
cts, and the seal of the court of St.
James parish, were found. Commits
sioner Craig bound the parties over in
one thousand dollars each to appear.
Underwood and Cohen both assert that
the only purpose in view was to make
out copies of the returns to file with the
clerk of the court of the parish, as re-
quired by law.
Following is a special to the Bulletin:
"Barge Sara Sabine passed down to-day,
with NatchitOches prisoners on board.n
The woman in whose house Under !
wood and Cohen were arrested states |
that six persons worked there all night |
for four nights. The Conservatives be- |
lieve they were making up the returns |
for the parishes that were not promptly |
reported. The returns from st. James |
and several other parishes have not yet
been delivered to the returning board. |
John NJ. Sandigle was to-day elected |
a member of the returning board, Uice
crossing slowly in count; they have
reached the ninth poll in the second
ward. In most every poll the board |
find something informal as regards GER
tification, upon which discussions arise.
The members of the board seem to be
strict constructionists as to the applica-
ton Of the election law. The Conserva-
tives charge that the supervisors have
failed IN many cases to
certify.
Republicans say thst the st. James
parish election returns were probably |
being arranged to elect BOyee to the
senate, instead Of his opponent. Both
are Republicans. Bovee was formerly |
secretary OF state. 1t is known that he
was engaged with others in the house
where Underwood and Cohen were ar
rested, but he had finished his part of
the business and returned home. All
those engaged in the transaction will be
arrested tomorrow, including Bovee.
Hon. w. B. Spencer, candidate for
congress from the fifth district at the
recent election, says he was elected,
and whether the returning board counts
him in or out he will appear before
congress and demand his seat.
General Emory has issued an order
'or the removal of the troops from the
Statehouse at six o'clock tomorrow
1t is generally believed here
hat this movement is made in pursu-
ance to orders from Washington.
General Morrow, who has been to
Monroe, investigating the charges
against Lieutenant Hodgson, returned
5O-day. He has not yet made his re-
port, but as he ordered HOdgson under
arrest q court-mRrtial will probably
follow. HodgsOn is charged with cut
ing the telegraph wires and overstep-
ping his duty, in making arrests and
guarding prisoners.
MINDEN, November 16.-New arrests
are being made daily. 1t is dangerous
