Stated that the intimidation in the
last election acted more against the Con-
servatives than the Republicans.
Declared that he had no idea that
there was going to he an insurrection
on September IA; that it was precepitat-
cd by the seizure of arms. That he had
urged upon the people to have Il fair
and quiet election. 1t was reported
that the colored people We're arming
and drilling, and that the whites were
to be dis;lrmed before the election.
There was no premeditation about
the uprising on 18th. 1t was spOntnne-
Gus. And after the assembly at Clay
Statute it was seen that there was to be
either Il mob or Il controlled body so the
latter eNpedient was chosen.
JAS. +. Trimble-Resides in Union
parish, and is Judge of the Eleventh
District, which includes five parishes.
Has lived in the State since 1859. The
election was quietly and peaccably
conducted. Regards the action of
President Grant in Louisiana rs an
attempt to overthrow Il republican form
of government.
Did say in the Boston Club that it
Mr.. Grant intended to destroy the
WV VI AIt Hot ASht 1HH4
cheerfully now than he had fought him
before. Voted for the Republican
candidate for State Treasurer and for
the Republican congressional nominee
of his district. The results of the cleo
,ions IA the parishes Of his district would
doubtless llnvC been somewhat different
had certain arrests Of prominent
citizens by United States marshals not
been made.
The people of the district We're loyal
to the u. =. Government. Some parties
for whom warrants were held by the
L. s. Marshal kept out of the way till
after the election, when they voluntarily
surrendered themselves to Major Head.
Was satisfied that any U. 5. officer
could serve processes OF court without
trouble.
Except daring Tic campaign, no
Memorable man WAS ever Ostr,ciscd. If,
during the excitement of the political
contest, any GOODNESS existed between
opposing politicians, their friendly
relations were always renewed imme-
uiatcly after the elections were over.
Does not believe that any inslignity to
the Y. =. ilag would bc caused by
hostility to the Government.
Complaints against Allen Greene
were made by his employees, who
said they We're not paid promptly.
Thc fault found with Greene was
that he had men appointed on the
police jury who were $ubscrvicnt to his
interests.
The general feeling OF the people was
that the officials did not perform their
duty.
Senator Greene WAS elected in 1872 by
throwing out certain boxes in Jackson
parish.
FulGor,,, claiming to be District
Attorney OF Lincoln parish, who has
testified before the committee, is not of
sound min,!, ant WAS not Il faithful or
competent representative oftin interests
of tie Commonwealth. Tho killing
OF Mr.. McDpEnlh, which was said
To Hav" been political, turned out
otherwise.
Witness thinks III" general policy of
the Republican party has been such as
tended to lis injury, r&."citlls- during
tn" fall.
MIR. Frye asked if Judge 'Trimblc had
iilvciyhsN against th" Republican party
until after his court had been treated
with contempt.
The witness said ne complained
against the corruption of the Republican
party; that he li! not know he was
exceeding has JuflSt!ctiOn Whcn he
fined s;clyc 500 and imprisoned
bin.
Mr.. Fryc-Up to the time your court
was treated with contempt, as you
believe, YOU iiatl been Il Republican,
active and earnest, you had covered up
and concealed the corruptiOnS you knew
of existing then. Now, the fine and
Imprisonment which you established
then you know to be Illegal, and when
the man was pardoncd, and your court
treated with contempt, your develop
mrnis Of Republican corruption are
made.
h.-Thi5 is not the racSOn.
Witness believes that Kellogg and
| Penn We're elected in 1872. lie objected
| to the legislation Of the Republican
| party, which was corrupt and not
| intelligent. Ills personal dislike for
! certain nlcmhrrS of the Republican
| party on account Of their conduct and
character. They had done a great injury
