Conclusion OF the Invest cation i'm
the Louisiana Matter.
CHICAGO, Feb. q.
A Washington special says: Follow
ing are the conclusions of Hoar, Frye
and Wheeler, of the Congressional
Louisiana Investigating Committee, as
embodied III the report which they
have agreed upon:
First-That the so-called White
Mems party in Louisiana has had pur-
pose to take possession, by fraud and
violence, Of the State government.
Second-TLat in the execution of this
purpose they have not, and will not,
refrain from murder, fraud, civil war,
or coercion of employees.
Third-That the moderate men of
the party are unable to control the
majority.
Fourth-That these causes have in
duced the formation of this party ard
rendered it more difficult to unite the
best mel among them in opposition
to the Administration party in the
State, which is made up of almost the
whole negro vote, with a few whites,
largely from other States; and that
there has been great maladministra-
ton by Republican officers; and the
belief is honestly entertained by large
numbers of the white people of the
State that they have been twice de-
frauded of the results of the elections
in which they have been successful.
Fifth-Adinitting that these evils are
likely to eXasperate any people, the
course ofthe whites has tended to bring
them about. Simple and peaceful
remedies of obedience to law. and de-
e n treatment of their opponents,
would have proven ettectual long ago.
Sixth-The committee believe Kel-
logg received a majority in 1872, and
while it believes there was violence
and fraud which frustrated the will of
the people in many parishes. in 1874.
the illegal order of Judge Durnell. and
the Illegal conduct of the Returning
Board in attemptingto cure one wrong
by another, materially iniamed popu-
lar discomfort and lent plauSibility to
the complaints.
Seventli-rhe committee believe
there has been much dishonesty and
corruptions in State and local govern
mentS, for which the Republicans, es-
peciallv under Warmouth's rule, are
largely responsible; though in numer
Gus cases their opponents have been
equally to blame.
Eighth-The effect of all this has
been TO destroy the authority of the
law owe a large portion of the State,
and deprive the negroes of their rights
OF suffrage, overthrow the Republican
government in Louisiana, and
ly menace it in the whole country.
Ninth-A new election at this time is
not desirable; neither party ask tor it,
and it would aggravate the present
evils.
Ten;h-Congress should use its con-
stitutional power in the matter. The
committee think Kellogg the choice of
the majority of tie voters OF J. ouiSiana
and that he should be recognized as
Governor. Congress should also pro-
vide for such other Safeguards for
holding elections and ascertaining the
result Of it as can be devised.
Eleventh-The committee conclude
by saying that these remedies are, at
best, temporary. Efficient aid to es-
tablish means of public educltion
would do much to remedy the evils.
Public sentiment oil the country, with
u distinction TO party, would do
much to remove, as il has unfortunate
ly done much To aggravate, the trouble
in Louisiana. The people then should
be made to understand that all author
ity OF the Government to preserve a
republican form of government and
protect the rights of citizens will be
firmly exercised, and no party in this
country will accept the alliance of men
who are seeking power by such meth
DDS as the committee have described.
