There is not . State in the Union where
such return would be received and count
ed, bv either party, without investigation.
The Returning Board ls q creature OF the
law OF Louisiana, constituted for the pur-
pose Of canvassiDg and passing upon the
returns. Every State in the Union has re-
turning boards. In most Of the Northern
States they are confined to the counties,
their powers and duties are all similar.
The returning Board in Louisiana is com
posed of five persons, chosen from both
political parties. As now constituted there
are three Republicans and two Demo.
crate, and the report of Q majority
stands as the report of the board. They
are sworn officers of the law, and the
presumption; at least, is that they will hon
estly and faithfully discharge their duty.
ANY attempt to count the electoral vote of
that State for Governor Hayes in violation
of law and against the expressed will of the
people as honestly and legally returned to
them should meet with the condemnation
of good men OF all parties. If, on the other
hand, the names of men have been placed
upon the poll lists, and their votes re-
turned, who were not registered voters, or
the whole Republican vote of parish has
been withheld, it is the sworn duty of the
board to reject such fraudulent returns: 1t
such illegal returns are required to elect
the vaporing of the Democratic press Of the
country will be as idle as the chattering of
80 many geese. '!rhe straining timbers of

MONTGOMERY, November 15.-The Senate
elected Il. w. Cobb, President, and the

Both have served two terms it their respec-

is devoted principally to State affairs. He
refers to the great economy instituted in all
State departments, and calls special atten-
were sold at sixty to seventy cents on the
dollar when he went into Office in
1874, now command ninety two to ninety
three. This he attributes to the con-
fdence people have in . government of
their own choice. The penitentiary, which
cost the State large sum of money under
the previous administration, is now q source
of considerable revenue to the State. Pub
lie schools. are prosperous and increasing
allow me to congratulate you and the en-
tire country upon the signal and brilliant
success of the patriotic people of the United
States in their great struggle against fraud
and corruption as practiced by the party
in control Of the Federal government in
the election by an unprecedented large
popular majority for Tilden and Hendricks
for President and Vice President of the
United States. They have achieved victory
unequalled by any known to civilized gov
ernments. A victory achieved through the
quiet and peaceful instrumentality OF the
ballots, the mode provided by our fathers
for the protection and maintenance of the
government in its strength and purity. No
blood, no violence, no force. They have
covered themselves with never failing and
imperishable honor, and have made name
of which their children to the latest gener
alton may be Justly proud.
