CENSUS FRAUDS IN EMANCIPATION.

Il was manifest that the census re-
ports returned by usurpcr Kellogg =
Supervisor for Tangipahoa parish were
grossly Inaccurate. and did Injustice
to. tho white population. That official
made two reports. according 10 the Tan
aipahoa Democrat. In one, published
BY him, he gave the population thus
total whites, 39iA; total colored, iOo3
and III the other; total whites. 1880. to-
Tai Colorcd, 3tg6. Proofs Of the falsity
OF these enumerations having been laid
before the Police Jury, that body passed
an ordinance employing the Sheriff to
make q perfect enumeration. That
olIicer placed In charge OF this work

Thomas n. Price. young men OF perfect
integrity, great energy. and utterly IN
Capablo OF making anything but q

They went TO work. by wards, and have
Just completed their labors, and we
have the print thereof. In the following
returns: Total white population, 1891
total colored. 1853.
Thus Il will be seen that the falsity Of
tho Kellogg census has been establish
Cd. and Mcssrs. Van Houtcn and Price
have absolute proofs Of the correctness
OF their return. The first Kellogg cen
Gus gave tho colored people 40 majority.
and the last gave the whites 1914 major

the Sheriff . deputies, gives the whites
200l majority. In 1870 the white popu
lAtion was 4934, and the colored 1894 "a
white majority Of 1910. This work
shows what patient, organized labor
CAn do. Let tho Legislature reject the
usurper's census report, which was
made for the sole purpose Of laying a
plausible basis for tho fraudulent ma
nipulation OF tho rascally supervisors
whom Kellogg appoints to hold the
election OF 1876. and the calculations

Have our people ever seriously thought
over their political condition? Let us
hold up the picture In its mere out.
lines.
First--An usurper OF the most abicci
description In the gubernatorial chair
Second All the leading electoral po-
sltions held by set OF men fairly
beaten at the polls by the good people
OF the State, and put In position by bay
onets foreign TO the State.
Third A judiciary almost wholly ig-
norant, corrupt, and bitterly partisan.
rourth--The local elective franchise
almost wholly wrested from the people,
and the appointment Of mayors and al
dermen Tor towns and Of police juries,
ETC., for parishes. In the hands of the
usurping Governor.
Fifth-A Legislature composed. not
certainly AS the people would choose,
and . Congressional Committee all
IN conclavc at a business Office In the
City Of New York.
Stxth-The Police Department OF the
great city OF New Orleans, sustained by
forced cxorbitant taxation of the people
OF the city, and exclusively controlled
by the usurping Governor rs a standing
army over the people Of the whole
State.
Sevcnth-The Public Schools OF the
city wrestcd from the control OF the
people taxed to support them, and
placed in the hands of low, ignorant
and corrupt partisans, who are utterly
destroying their efficiency and respect
ability; and the taxes raised to support
these schools double what is necessary,
and forced from the pockets of the peo-
pie by an utterly irresponsible Board, "
appointed by an usurpring Governor.
Eighth The forms Of election granted
the people by the usurpcrs placed in
power by foreign bayonets, and the
substance granted TO a partisan RE
turning Board appointed by the
I Qsurpers.

tdeous monster that is consuming US.

We deem it only proper to say that
the statement made by u reporter fol-
the DEMOCRAT in the Martini and Bap-
tiste case, was not intended TO do the
least injustice to Mr.. Sambola, and the
reporter deeply regrets and utterly dis
claims any such inference. The state
ment made by Mr.. Ogden was laid
before the public without any sort OF
Endorsement being designed. For Mr..
Sambola we entertain much respect,
and are satisfied that his connection
with the case has been honorable
throughout.
