Loud Call to Gov. Hayes.
Prom the Natior

Prom the Nation.
BY the time our next issue reach
es our readers the electoral college
will have met and voted, and the
evident design Of the Louisiana re-
turning Board is to reserve its de-
cision to the latest possible moment.
II is, therefore, not too soon to ask
Mr.. Hayes, with the utmost respect,
some questions which we make
bold to say are running in the
minds of hundreds Of thousands of
upright, patriotic and anxious men
Of all parties. They are these /:
You are an honest man, in whose
life not even the fierce light of q
presidential campaign has revealed
speck Of reproach. From tribu-
nal, therefore, like the Louisiana
returning board, composed exclu-
sively Of your friends and partisans,
whose judicial integrity and capac-
ity have been already successfully
impeached which refuses to obey
the direction Of the law and give
the opposite party even one place
on its bench I; which celebrates In
secret, and gives no reasons for its
decisions; which sees glaring frauds
exposed in its presence without
manifesting either surprise or dis
pleasure, and which VIGOROUSLY en-
joys not one iota Of confidence In
any part of the union-from such
q tribunal you would not accept the
award even of one hundred dollars
against the claim Of the humblest
man in America, would youi We
know you would not. Are you
now prepared to accept at its hand
an Office which equals any crown
in dignity and surpasses most
crowns in power and responsibility,
which no man has hitherto held
with a stain or suspicion resting on
his title : Can you encounter the
terrible ordeal Of holding such a
position for four wears I'm the face
OF the belief of full half the voters
that you have obtained it through
indicial fraud and chicanei Would
not your SO holding it be a new
and greater misfortune TO the coun-
try, and a source Of unending shame
and repentance to YOURSELF Should
you allow eager and inscriptions

order 70 arrive al the result reach
Ell about 1900 Democratic votes
were thrown oui-being more than
one sixth Of the entire democratic
vote Of the the State. II it bad
been necessary 10 throw or: double
this numher 20 one doubts the sbil-
ity or readiness Of the board 10 have
met the exigency. The Courier
does not believe that the action of
the board will be satisfactory TO the
people Of the country who are
more interested in . fair count than
as TO who is president. The rea-
SOUS why they will not be satisfied
have been stated over and over
again and are obvious TO any person
Of average intelligence.
The board refused to permit re-
porters Of the daily newspapers at
their daily sessions I; they had no
word Of condemnation for glaring
frauds perpetrated in tamPering
With the returns Of certain parishes,
after they bsi been received in the
city Of New Orleans; they refused
to permit the opposite party any rep
reservation on the board, which was
composed entirely Of partisans.-
These circumstances, coupled with
the previous record Of members Of
the board, as shown BY reports of a
Republican Congressional commit
tee, furnish well grounded cause
for suspicion.
The board furnish as pretext
for throwing out Democratic votes
that there was fraud aud intimida-
ton. Against this we have the
statement Of the clergy, bank
ers and merchants Of New Orleans,
officers Of the army who were sta
toned in the State, and representa-
tives of independent newspapers,
that the election was the most quiet
and orderly ever held in the State
Itmust be borne in mind that Louis
lana had been under Republican
rule, that the army Of the United
States was at the disposal Of the
State government to enforce an
honest election, and IL under such
circumstances there were cases OF
intimidation the Republicans are
wholly TO blame. The fact that the
board refused to entertain evidence
on the Democratic side, that every
act was characterized by unfsirncss
and an apparent determination to
have things their own way does not
tend to allay public suspicion that
they have not repeated their shame
less infamy of 1874.
The effect Of this action Of the
board will simply be to transfer
the presidential question to Con-
Qress, thus prolonpinr n settle
ment disastrous to the country, and
which must prove more injurious
the longer the delay. 1t cannot,
however, at this stage of the pro-
ceedings, well be avoided, and to
the patriotism, honesty, and good
sense of Congress, the nation must
look for q satisfactory adjustment
Of the question.-Courier.

The resolution Of the House OF
Representatives for the appoint
ment Of three special committees
10 visit South Carolina, Florida and
Louisiana and investigate the ac-
ton Of the returning boards, met
with stubborn resistance on the Re
publican side Of the House. II is
an unfortunate position for the par
ty representatives, TO put themselves
in. By the report of their own
committee in 1874, the Louisiana
board was shown to be glazing
fraud and its members destitute Of
honor or common decency. Do
they now wish the people TO under
