Anecdote Of Pre- sident Grant,

This neat bit of humor of President
Grants appears now in print for the first
time:
Just before the close of the last session
OF Congress, while riding out one day, he
was struck with the appearance of horse
that was driven before q butchers cart.
The butcher was asked if he would sell.
The butcher would do so for q proper CO.,
sideratirn. The proper consideration was
estimated at $3.50, which was paid. Subse-
quently, after driving out with Senator
Conkhng. the President said: "COme to the
stable and look at a new horse I've bought"
Mr. Conkling, who was something Of q
judge of a horse, looked him over thorough
", poked him here, punched him there, and
did all III 1t q frst-clsss Senator and horse.
man should do in such a case.
'"Where did you get hint" asked the Sen
ator.
II bought him Of butcher, ;" piled the
President.
"How much did you pay for him9v
1.-TWO hundred and fifty dollars, an
swered General Grant.
"Well," responded the Senator, "he may
be q very good animal, and doubtless is,
but If it were my case think should
rather have the money than the horse"
That ie what the butcher thought" re-

massacre occurred of colored people,
which lasted from three to six days, and
during which from 200 to 300 people were
killed; between the twentieth and thir-
tieth of September, similar massacre &C.
Cured in the parish of Bossier. which
lasted from three to four days, during
which over 200 colored people were killed;
in the parish of Caddo, in the month OF
October, over forty colored people were
killed; in the parish of Jefferson, in the
month of October, forty persons we're
killed and wounded; in the parish of St.
Bernard, in the month of October, an
other horrible massacre occurred, which
lasted for three days, during which over
100 people were killed and wounded; in the
parish of Orleans, in the months Of Sep
TENDER and October, two attacks were
made upon Republican professions, du-
ring which about sixty persons were
killed; in the parish of st. Mary, in Oc-
tober, 1858, the sheriff and parish judge,
both Republicans, were publicly assas-
sinated at their houses by an armed body
Of men in the town of Franklin; similar
acts of violence, anG other outrages were
perpetrated upon colored and white Re-
publicans in thirty-ive parishes Of the
State, a record of which is contained in
the legislative and congressional reports
to which l have referred. The total sum-
ming up Of the murders that took place
for political reasons, in the months of
September, October and November. 1868,
as taken from official souces, is over 1000
persons.
By the official registration Of that year,
the following parishes had the number Of
votes set opposite their names:
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-11-24

BY this same official return of the census
of voters it is shown that the total num-
Der of white voters in the State is 81, 167,
and the total number of black voters is
lO4, 1872.
The disparity between the Republican
vote in these parishes as shown by the
registration and the election before that,
for President in 1868, and as again
shown by the registrations and elections
subsequent to 1868, is something enor-
nous. Taken in connection with the his
tory Of the times, as have given it, the
claim of the Republicans that this dis
parity was occasioned by overwhelming
and wholesale violence, bloodshed and
murder, and the intimidation resulting
therefrom, seems to be clear and
conclusive. In the Legislature Of
1869 the question was raised and
was considered how lawful remedy
could be best applied, which would
prevent the occurrence of such a state of
things.
The problem before the Legislature
was this: In state of things where
secret political and semi-military asso-
Citations, violent political feeling and the
absence of the usual restraints Of law and
social order, could thus revolutionize by
wholesale violence whole parishes, and
make the elections held therein a mere
mockery and farce, lacking every requisite
of an election, what changes in the law
should be made to counterfeit and remedy
these wrongsi
The principle Of law recognized in this
country and in England, which governs
elections, is this: The first essential ele-
ment of an election is freedom of choice.
The ticket voted is not the vote, nor is
the ticket in the ballot box the vote. What
constitutes the ticket in the ballot box a
vote, is the act Of the voter in putting it in
the box, at the lawfully appointed time,
before the lawfully appointed officers
for that purpose, and of his own free
will and choice. Another principle of
law we'll recognized is, that violence
and force at an election renders srch
election null and void. That principle is
well laid down and illustrated in Cush-
ings claw and Practice of Legislative
Assemblies" in which the authorities are
numerously cited.
There was no question that in such
state Of facts as had occurred in the par
ishes above named the election was an
absolute nullity. There was no difficulty
in declaring this. The problem was
how and where to lodge the authori-
ty to legally ascertain this nullity
before the returns were duly made
and declared. In any ordinary condition
Of affairs, and in most of the States, the
remedy could have been made by enlarg-
ing the jurisdiction of the ordinary re-
turning officers. The returning officer of
an election in the United States is neither
an executive, nor ministerial, nor ju-
dicial officer. He is an officer whose
duties and functions are peculiar to
government whose Offices are filled by
elections, and whose citizens on the days
of election perform the high governmental
function of voting. The voter on that day

have thus traced the history of these
bulldozed parishes from 1868, and have
shown that they had q registered colored
vote of 59,737 in 1876, and registered
Republican vote of Al, 1923 in 1868, and
that in all the years in which peaceable
election has been held in these parishes
they have cast a uniform Republican vote
of from 80, 600 to 81. 900, and yet that these
same parishes in 1868 only gave Grant $500
votes. This, taken in connection with
the history of the events of 1861 of which
have given brief recital, all of which
is corroborated by official records, will
establish conclusively and beyond all
doubt in the mind of every candid person
the facts which Republicans have
charged: that the Republican vote of
these parishes in 1868 was forcibly and
violently suppressed by acts Of bloodshed,
murder and massacre.
These facts led to the election law of
1870, and it was to prevent the recurrence
of similar acts that the law was intended.
In this connection, and before passing
on, and while l am engaged in tables, let
me give the vote of fifteen bulldozed par
ishes in 1876. These parishes are East
Baton Rouge, Bienville, Caldwell, Clai-
borne, East Feliciana, West Feliciana,
Franklin, Grant, jackson, Morehouse,
Richland, Union, Washington and VIM.
The Republican registration of these
parishes in 1868 was as fnlloxs.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-11-24

J
of the 5000 majority they have in those par
ishes. And now the country is threatened
with civil war by the Democrats who ex-
pect office or have bets pending if the
fraudulent votes of those bullbOzed par
ishes are rejected and Tilden thereby loses
the State OF Louisiana!
The illustration is a forcible and true
one in almost all particulars, but it lacks
one very essential feature which belongs
to the real case as it exists in Louisiana.
1 will complete the illustration of the
Chicago Tribune by adding the missing
feature: Suppose that in Bridgeport,
some twelve months before the election.
Tom Foley should have been hung by a
Republican mob in the public square of
the city. And suppose that Mike Evans,
while on visit to Peoria, had been kid
mapped by mob of Chicago Republicans
at night, under the pretext of pretended
warrant, and had been bound and tied
to horse and carried by his captors out
Of Peoria on the road toward Chicago.
And suppose that while on his way to
the latter city in the hands of his captors.
another mob Of Chicago Republicans,
having come from that city for the pur
pose, should have taken him from the
hands OF his first captors and tied him to
tree and shot him to death with a hun
bred bullets?
suppose, then, that the Chicago Repub-
Acans had organized themselves into
secret military organizations, with cap
tains, majors and colonies, and with rifles
and ammunition. Suppose, then, that
they had driven every Democratic official
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-11-24

So that out of AZ, 923 registered Repub-
lican voters in the foregoing parishes,
who had voted, in the spring previously,
at the election held, for the Republican
candidate for Governor, only $500
votes were cast for Grant. Out of
nine Of the above parishes, in which there
were l1,6O4 registered Republican votes,
only 10 were cast for Grant, being one
and two in each parish, except one which
gave nine. The table is given below:

An English critic says: "Some clergy

astics has impaired . certain sanctity to
their persons. At any rate. they often oct

Is not the coincidence striking?
Now, to bring out still more clearly the
true disparity between the true Repub-
lican vote of these parishes and this pre-
tended vote under reign of murder, I
add the following table taken from the
official census of persons over the age Of
twenty-one in those parishes, made in
1875:

The registration in these same parishes

Thus We have seen that these fifteen
parishes have registered Republican
vote of 1875, and in peaceful years have
cast q Republican vote of from $500 to
l2,500. And yet these same fifteen par
ishes under the reign of terror, caused by
the Knights of the White Camelia in
1868, only cast 1885 Republican votes, as
will be seen by the following table.
