The award of the congressional COM

The award of the congressional COM
mittee in the Louisiana case, has never
been published; and there have been
several outside reports as to what the
committee did. One report says they
gave the Democrats eighteen majority
in the Legislature !; another that this
majority is only eight. There were
contests for two places in the Senate
ELAN, Democrat, of the Shreveport dis
trict and GOOde, Democrat, of the La
congressional committee returned Goode
as elected, and returned the Republic
can candidate instead of Elan and that
this gives a Republican majority of
eighteen in the Senate. In regard to
the House, it is said that the parishes of
Desoto, Bienville, Winn, Repides, AS
sumption, Jackson Terrebonne, Grant,
Caddo, Avoyelles, Iberia, and st. Tam
any were in dispute and that the o n
.gressiOnal committee decided that there
was no legal election in Grant, gave
DesOto with two Representatives, Bien-
vile with one, Winn with one, Rapides
with three, Assumption with two, Jack
son with one, and Terrebonne with two
Zone a colored man, to the Democrats,
and Caddo with three, Avoyelles with
one, Iberia with one, and st. Tamany with
one, to the Republicans-and it is said
that this makes a Democratic majority
of eighteen in the House. Now with a
majority of eighteen in the
Senate, and a Democratic majority of
the same number in the House, on joint
ballot and a strict party vote, there
would be a tie. The award will not be
made public we presume, until the Leg
islatrlre convenes.
