Hon. j. Madison, Wells, President Louis

your honorable body has retained me as
elected to the. lower house. OF the .Legisla-
ture from the parish De Soto. Pcrmitme to
return nv thanks for the honor conferred;
Init at the same time permit me to say that

1 he Ipe you will pardon me for taking a
step that at first glance may be thought cal
cwated to cast some discredit upon the
pTty with which I have attached myself,
out am planter, not q politician; all my
interests are here; and, sir, cannot believe
the good of.the State or OF the ) National Re-
Publican party can be promoted by return
:, ing as elected q candidate so clearly defeat
ed as myself. In fact, / am convinced that
very much OF the disturbance that has pre-
! vailed throughout the State for several
4 wears past is Justly attributable to the fact
that in many parishes men not elected by
the people have been returned elected ana
maintained in Office by the power OF tis
Government. Unjust believe that you ana
your associates have been grave!y decelvea
as to the manner In which the late canvass o. ,

HOW TO DO EXACT JUSTICE.

| The New Orleans correspondent of the
| Cincinnati Commercial, in his letter Of thu
fourteenth, states the facts and figures il
regard to five of the parishes of this State
with force and accuracy, but he falls into
an error in his application of the law in
| such cases:
The law says. referring to cases such as
! the five parishes named, that the board
| ''sball not canvass or compile the state
ment of the votes of such poll or voting
place, but shall exclude it from their re-
turns"
Those five parishes can be thrown out,
but the Republican majority can not be re-
stored; that ia, the majority which would
have been given for Hayes if the election
there had been as fair and free as elections
should be.
1t will be observed that the law directs
the statement of the votes of such poll
or voting place" to be thrown out, not
that of the parish per Sc. If every box in
the parish shall be found tainted with
fraud or other legal defect fatal to its fair
ness, then, Of course, the vote of the
WAoiO PnAioA WCuAu NC tuIOWA Out. Dun
there is no warrant in law for rejecting a
box which is fair because another or all
the others in the same parish are tainted
with illegality. Under the law each box
is to be considered separately, and re-
ceived and counted or rejected without
reference to any other. For instance,
there are several boxes in the parish Of
Orleans about which damaging reports
are received. 1t may be possible that the
Returning Board will be obliged in COM
plying with the law, to throw out the
statement of votes from some Of them.
But the other wards will not be affected
by such a decision, nor will any fair
boxes in the same wards be.
We have before explained that the re-
ports seem to agree that the voting in
Monroe, Baton Rouge and Bastrop was
reasonably fair and free to those who were
SO fortunate as to find refuge in these
towns on the day of election. The Dem
ocrats concentrated their strength for mis-
chief around the polling places located
many miles away from the jurisdiction of
the local police and the troop. Access
to these polling places was prevented by
armed men, mounted, and under control
OF leaders. All the Democrats thus en-
p!oyed voted at the polls they were de-

AN INSULT TO THE COLORED PEOPLE.

AN INSULT TO THE COLORED PEOPLE
The professed respect for the colored
people and the abject solicitation Of their
support by the Democracy is contra
dicted at every turn by the violence and
abuse showered upon them whenever they
refuse to respond to their very soft i'm
peachments. The Times, in circulating
an absurd report about schism in the Re-
publican party, has gone SO far as to use
the language which follows:
According to the ostensibly wild rumors,
traceabIe, however, to rather reliable
sources, Casenave and Kenner have already
been secured, ana the conversion of Gov
ernor Wells is confidently predicted.
Thus, upon "wild rumors," based upon
'.reliable sources" the Times intimates
that the colored members of the board
have been secured" to an alleged "com-
promise" which could have no other basis
but bribery. The Times in supposing the
colored members of the board accessible
to any motives Of pay or patronage
proves that it is very little conversant
with the character or condition of those
whom it has wooed so persistently. The
colored population of Louisiana know that
the question involved in these returns is far
above any pecuniary or other temporal
consideration. They believe that their
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-11-22

tailed to patrol, and compelled the ne
groes who ventured to como.in to vote
the Democratic tickets. Hence, the towns
lost the votes.of the Democrats who were
sent away, and gained those, of the Re-
publicans who came in for safety.
It will, therefore, be fair 10 receive tho
statement of the vote in tEs towns, whila
our precedsnts, derived from the usages
of both parties would, if followed, lead 70
throwing ont those from places where CT
ganized violence prevailed
