There is new sect in Russia called the Pu-
ritiers, belonging to the Greek Church, Their

The Mutton, with the utmost respect, I"
makes this appeal to Governor Hayes "You
are an honest man, in whose life not even
the fierce light of Presidential campaign
has revealed speck of reprosch. From a
tribunal, therefore, like the Louisiana Re-
turning Board, composed exclusively of your
friends and partizans, whose judicial integ-
rity and capacity have been already success
fully impeached which refuses TO obey the
direction of the law and give the opposite
party even one place on its bench; which
deliberates in secret, and gives no reasons for
its decisions which sees glaring frauds ex-
posed in its presence without manifesting
either surprise or displeasure, and which
notoriously enjoys not one iota of con fidence
in any part of the Union-from such tri-
bunal you would not accept the award f
even 800 against the claim of the hunbl est
man in America, would you? We know
you would not. Are you now prepared to
accept at its hands an office which equals any
crown in dignity and surpasses mos. crowns
in power and responsibility, which nc man
has hitherto held with stain of suspicion
resting on his title? Can you encounter tie
terrible ordeal of holding such a position for
four years in the face OF the belief OF full
half the voters that you have obtained it
through judicial fraud and chicaue? Would
not your so holding it be new and great
misfortune to the country, and source of
unending shame and repentance to yourself?
Should you allow eager and unscrupulous
politicians to override your own nobler judg-
ment and thrust it upon you? Finally do
you suppose that in an office so won, and
needing so much popular respect, if not
popular support, to give it either dignity or
authority, you could exert any appreciable e
influence in behalf of any of the causes
which you and all good men have at heart I
