The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1875-01-18

So in the parish of De Soto the returns
showed Conservative elected by over 1000
majority. 1t was alleged that the supervisor
of registration had brought the returns to
New Orleans, and had left them with a
woman of bad character, who offered to pro.
duce them on payment Of 81 900. The Con.
sentative committee took legal proceedings
to compel their production, but the court
held that it had no jurisdiction to that end.
They then caused to be produced before the
Board the duplicates of those returns from
the office OF the Secretary of State, together
with the tally-sheets, polllists, &C., filed there
according to law. These duplicates CORES
pended exactly with thealleged result of the
compiled returns which the said woman had
produced, and of these alleged facts undis-
puted proof was alsosubmitted to the Board.
Nevertheless, the Board refused to count the
vote for that parish.
So in Wynn parish, where 4O4 ConserVa-
tive and 164 Republican votes were cast
upon verbal protest that the registrar OF
elections was not properly qualified, OF
which the only proof was that he had failed
10 forward his oath Of office to the Secretary
of State. Although there was no pretence that
the election was not a fair representation OF
the will of the people, the whole vote OF the
parish was rejected, and The case referred to
the Legislature.
So in Terrebonne parish, where there was
Conservative majority, it was proved that
the commissioners of election, through mis-
apprehension Of their duties, enclosed all the
returns in the ballOt-boXeS and deposited
them with the clerk of the court, with whom
the law required the boxes to be left. The
Judge Of the court thereupon issued man
damus commanding the clerk to take the re.
turns from the boxes and forward them to
the Secretary of State; which was DONE
Nevertheless, the Board rejected the returns
from these polls, thereby giving the parish
to the Republicans, with the result OF chooS'
ing Republican senator, two Republican
members of the Legislature, and the Repnb'
lcan parish officers.
Without now referring to other Instances
we are constrained to declare that the action
of the Returning Board, on the whole, wa:
arbitrary, unjust, and, in our opinion. Illegal
and that this arbitrary, unjust, and illegal &C
ton alone prevented the return by the BoarC
of majority of the Conservative. member'
to the lower house.
Upon the general subject OF the state 0
affairs in the State, and as to whether tn.
alleged wrongs to colored citizens for poiiti
cal offences are real or were asserted withou
due foundation, your committee took sucl
proof as the opportunity offered. Both par

since ucclaTeu LQaL - tneTS WAS no prosper
ity." The securities of the State have fallen
in two years from 70 or so to %; OF the city
of New Orleans from 80 or 80 to so or 40,
while the fall in bank shares, railway shares,
city and other corporate companies, have in
degree Corresponded.
Throughout the rural districts of the State
the negroes, reared in the habits of reliance
upon their masters for support, and in d
community In which the members are al
WAYS ready to divide the necessaries Of life
with each other, not regarding such action as
very evil, and having immunity from pun
ishment from the nature of the local ON
Gals, had come to fetching and stealing fruit,
vegetables, and poultry so generally, as
Bishop Wilmoth stated without contradic.
ton from any source, that the raising OF these
articles had to he entirely abandoned to the
great distress of the white people, Whila
within the parishes as well as in New
Orleans the taxation had been carried almost
literally to the extent OF conhscatlon.
In New Orleans the assessors are paid q
commission on the amount assessed, ana
houses and stores are to be had there for the
taxes. In NatchitOches the taxation reached
about eight per cent. OF the assessed value
on the property. In many parishes all the
white Republicans and all the otflce.holders
belong to single family. There are i've OF
the Greens in office in Lincoln. There are
seven of the Bouts in Office in Natehitoches.
AS the people saw taxation increase and
prosperity dimiulsh-as they grew poor
while officials grew rich-they became natu
rally sore. That they loved their rulers can
not be pretended. ii
The Kellogg Government claims to have
reduced taxation. This has been effected il
part by establishing board to fund the deb
of the State at sixty per cent. of its fac
value. This measure aroused great hostility
not so much because OF the reductionos il
acknowledged debt as because it gave TO- Cd
funding board, whose powers seem to-
absolute and without review, discretionar
authority to admit to be funded soma 81

the police undertook to seize the arms; the
TWO bodies came into collision on the wharf,
with loss of several killed and wounded.
There were then hardly any Federal troops
in New Orleans, and the disintegration of
| the Kellogg party was such that before night
Penn and his associates had only to take
possession of the executive offices without q
struggle.
The movement was everywhere quietly
accepted by the whites throughout the
State until the Federal Government in
teryened, when Penn and his associates
at once surrendered. Ii Louisiana
were a country by itself McEnery and
bis associates would at once be in
stalled in power; but the Conservatives of
Louisiana do not propose to fight the Fede-
raj Government. They submit not because
they want to, but because they must; not
because they proclaim any enmity against the
flag not because free labor has not been
found practicable; not because of any hos.
tility to the colored people because colored !;
but because they regard themselves as de-
frauded out of the election of 1872, and yet
more, out of the last election, and because
they think their State government has been
to the last degree destructive and corrupt.
Indeed, in our judgment, the substantial
/ citizens of the State will submit to any fair
determination Of the question of the late
elections, or to anything by which they can
secure firm and good government What
they seek is peace and an opportunity for
| prosperity, and to that end they will support
any form OF government that will afford them
lust protection. In this distress they got be-
yond any mere question OF political party.
| After your committee bad announced their
] intention not to Investigate the election oil
1872 they received letter from Governor
Kellogg expressing desire that they should
| investigate that subject. Later, they re-
ceiyad letter from McEnery, Penn, and as.
sociates, proposing TO submit their claims to
the State offices to the committee as arDl
traitors. In view of the assurance that

The South Mountain Consolidated
Mining Company have levied AN assess
ment of two dollars per share, which
will be delinquent on the 10th inst;
aggregating 100000. This amount,
it is said. will pay the entire indebted
ness Of the company. In the meantime
the furnaces are running steady, pro-
ducing bullion that assays between
five and six hundred dollars per ton,
and plenty of it. Now here is the ques-
ton revolving in the minds of outside
stockholders. If the prospects at the
mine are half as good as they have
been represented to be, what is the
object of levying such an enormous
assessment? Why not reduce it to dol
lar or half dollar, and let the produc-
tons pay the remaining Indebtedness?
or If they are inadequate levy another
assessment. A tax of two dollars on q
share of stock selling at eighty seven
cents, in these panic times. is pretty
tough.

Two stout, healthy Swsde girls In
Des Moines, Iowa, one Sunday evening,
while returning from church, were
followed by two young sports, who
annoyed them by such attentions that
the girls attempted to escape by fast
walking. This they were not able to
do, and their tormentors kept close to
them. Finally one of the men made an
insulting remark. when the larger girl
wheeled around and with one blow she
knocked him down as completely as if
mule had kicked him. Then she
kneeled on him and pummelled until
he begged for mercy. When he did
this, woman like. she relented and per-
mitted him to depart.

The indications are that serious
trouble will arise out of the Gribard
case. Eighteen armed men stood guard
in the Protestant cemetery all night,
and at midnight they heard Frenchmen
walking up the mountain slope, and
were further appraised of the presence
of the enemy, who departed however
without riskiDg an attack. Gibrard's
coffin is being placed in the back end
of the vault under other collins. This
morning the guards were armed with
Smith & Wessen rifles and revolvers.
They have not decided when the fun
eral will take place.

MOVEMENTS OF THE mILtrARy:

Governor Bradley is now AZ Elko.
and the Independent Of that village
bristles with dispatches Of a warlike
character which have passed between
him and captains of Military COM
panies at Eureka. and Major General
Schofeld, commanding the Department
of the Pacific. The Eureka Guards.
home company, had some trouble about
getting horses. and the Governor in
structed them to seize horses and sup
plies, and go ahead. General Scho-.
field telegraphs the Governor that his
dispatches from Cherry Creek say moth
ing of the Indians in that vicinity. and
he asks if the Governor has not been
misinformed. In reply the Governor
says his information is authentic, and
that dispatch from the Commissioners
of Lincoln county, say that three hun
bred Indians surrounded Patterson
and Cave Valley, and that all the In
dams in Eastern Nevada appear to be
on the war path. In answer to calls
for arms from the Commissioners of
White Pine and Lincoln counties, the
Governor says that the State has no
arms and that troops are on the way
from San Francisco. The troops passed
here at II A. NJ. to-day. and will proba-
bly, reach the Wells, which is the
nearest point on the railroad to Cherry
Creek and Spring Valley tonight.
Meantime detachment of cavalry are
expected here from Camp McDermit,
some time. We are informed that they
left the post last Monday, and an OK
teamster, who passed them on the
road says they will probably arrive
here some time this week, and that
there are thirty six of them. On there
arrival here they will be Immediately
