half of whom are elected every two years
Two districts, in 1872, being in doubt, Of the
remaining sixteen Senators then elected for
four years, only four are in the Kellogg Senate

Add these four to the eight elected in 1874,
who are sitting in the Kellogg Senate, to wit:
Chadburn, Breaux, Young, ella, Burch, Du-
mont, Landry and Allan, and we have a total
of t,oelre legally elected Senator's in that body,

nize the usurpation, nor sit with the bastard
body called the Kellogg Senate. They re-

The Foster Committee found that the Con-
servatives in 1874 elected 10 Representatives
and the Republicans elected II, a Conservative
majority of 20. The United States Senate
Committee on Elections and Privileges in 1873
found that the declaration made by the Lynch
Returning Board, which returned the II
usurpers in Kellogg's Senate in 1872, was false
and fraudulent; and the Foster committee
found in 1875 that the declaration of the
Anderson Returning Board in 1874, which
returned two usurpers as Senators, and thir-
teen usurpers as members of the Lower House,
was also false and fraudulent The returns
OF both elections are in esse. They are genuine
and intact, and can be proven to be such.
Morton and West asserted that they were
forged, but not one syllable Of proof can be
adduced to show this
Ii justice is to be done to Louisiana, let the
whole question be investigated, and let no
dream Of compromise that presents less than
this, be fndulled.
