Elections by Returning Boardf.

If returning board in Louisiana NAV
canvass the votes for legislature and state
officers, and work their own sweet win with
the returns, throwing out such as they please
and counting such as suit their purpose,
why mag they not do it in other states p
1t they may declare legislature elected
which is not and is hardly pretended to be
the choice OF the people, why may they not
exercise the same power in counting the
votes for presidential electors, and so elect
a President and Vice President by return
ing boards instead of by the people? The
action of the louisiana returning board. If
sustained by the Administration and bv
congress, as it now bids fair to be under
the rule of the caucus, will not be simplv
an outrage upon the people of that state,
an overthrow in that state merely of the
republican form Of government. 1t must
be held as precedent. It will govern the
conduct of future elections II will have
Just as much force in presidential as in a
state election, and even should it NOT he
followed in other states, there NAV an
emergency arise in which the returning
board of Louisiana could, under this pre-
cedent, choose President of the United
States who would not be the choice of the
people.
The violence done by the proceedings of
this board to all our notions of popular
elections, and the absolute disregard of
what we are apt to consider the sanctity of
the ballet, the very essence of republican
institutions, are hardly appreciated here

Louisiana seem willing to accept, rs y
compromise, \cllogg's recognition, and
the restoration to the Conservatives O!
the control of tho lower house.
Messrs. Potter and Marshall utterly
oppose any resolution recognizing Kel-
logg, finding nothing to justify the be-
lief that he was ever legally elected, or
Congress, to rccoguizc Il usurpation so
gross and so oppressive, as they think
to establish u precedent by which,
under such prctcNts, any State govern
ment may be overthrown, the will of
the people nuftitied, fraud and violence
made permanent, and Il republican form
of government used to destroy liberty.
In their Judgment all that is needed in
Louisiana is to withdraw the Federal
troops and leave the people of the State
to govern themselves.

nously when prepared by hand. It was
found the cost of Machines, when first man
ufactured, could not be reduced below 500
each, which sum could not be produced by
the poor and helpless widows and seam
