mittee, aud eN.ciulens, having just
seen by an associated press dispatch
that Governor Chamberlain had APP
piled for United States troops TO bo
placed at his orders at the assembling
OF the Legislature tomorrow, send this
solemn protest against troops being
placed under command OF Governor
Chsmberaiu. We have no objection
TO the presence OF troops, and will CO.
operate with them in preserving the
peace, but We protest against the use
Of the United States army in control-
ing or gaining tho Legislature and en-
forcing the legislation of Governor
Chamberlain, who has been defeated
10y white and oolored voters. There "
not the remotest danger Of u disturb,
ance by the Democrats. Ii will be at
the instigation Of Governor Chamber
lain il there il one Not one drop OF
blood has been shed IN any political
disturbance except 10y Republicans. 1t
Ia literally true that the Democrats re-
ceived their greatest maJorities in the
counties where United States soldiers
were stationed, What preteuce, there
fore, is there for Governor Chamber
lain's demand for troops TO keep tho
peace? We refer for confirmation to
the commander Of the United States
forces at this place and elsewhere in
the State.

candidates, filed request that the bal
lot boxes of East Baton Rouge be sen
for in order that tally sheets and state
ments Of votes, sealed up in four of thu
boxes, could be obtained and vote
