THE Returning Board OF Louisiaul is
not the outgrowth of the war, as some be-
lieve. 1t was not born of rebellion, but Of
Democrats, years before the war. The
eyes of the whole country were turned
TO it during the Know Nothing excitement
Of 1856, as it is now in the election of our
President. This Returning Board existed
then, as it does now, the child of Demo
cratic parents, enacted among the old laws
Of the State of IoIlisians.

THE Supreme Court of South Carolina,
Of which the elder Mo3es-father of the
infamous Ex-Governor Frank Moses-is
chief justice, is composed in the majority
of Hampton men. Any question that may
be referred to it regarding the State cleo
tion will undoubtedly be decided in favor
Of Hampton. As it now stands, it seems
probable that while the Legislature may be
Republican, and the electoral vote be cast
for Hayes and Wheeler. the State officers
usy be Democratic.
