The Louisiana Crime.
The 7vlden Committse's Address--An Er-
haustiue Repie,O Of the Crime Of the Kellogg
Return Board. f4,.S

haustius RepieiO Of the Crime Of the Kellogg
Return Board. i.iltf
The address Of Gov. Palmer, Judge Trum-
bull, Gov. Bigler, George W. Julian, Geo. b.
Smith and p. H. Watson, the Tilden commits
sioners who attended the open sessions Of the
kellogg return board in Louisiana, has Just
appeared. II is q pamphlet Of seventeen
pages, and reviews the law and facts OF the
case with singular clearness, und exposes the
illegal and atrocious acts of the Kellogg board
with an unsparing hand, 1t is addressed to
Hon. Abram s. Hewitt, at whose request the
commissioners went to Louisiana after the
President had selected only Republicans to
represent the administration. Ii opens with
reference to and extracts from the Republi-
can reports on the Kellogg frauds Of 1872
and 1874, and presents concsely the law re-
lating to the board, and disputes its jurisdic.
ton entirely, as the act Of 1872, under which
the board is created, omits all reference to
elections for presidential electors, while the
act Of 1870 expressly provides for computing
and certifying such votes by the Governor,
Secretary Of State, Attorney General and O
district Judge. The jurisdiction Of the board
was objected TO also on the ground that the
act is unconstitutional, and again because il
was Illegally constituted Tor want oil MINOR
ity representative, as imperatively required
by the law.
A review Of the oct creating the boart
shows concusiyely that its powers were
shamelessly abused by the board. II is re
| quired ito canvass and compile the state
ments of the commissioners of election" ant
proclaim the result, unless the commissioner
Of election or the supervisors impose add
tional duties by reports Of naturalization o
fraud accompanying the returns. It show
that no outside protest can be entertained
and the violent and illegal proceedings Of tn
board in receiyiug complaints about parishe
which we're aferthoughts, to give some ex
cusc for rejecting them, are characterize
with just severity. The report very CAREFUL
reviews the action Of the board In its shiftin
i positions TO escape q Just computation Of th
vote Of the State, and shows that the homer
return ofthe vote Of the State gave the high
est Tilden elector 1851 majority over ii
! lowest Hayes elector, and a majority Of SO

is worthless, and the land is at the

who may choose to avail himself Of
such settlers ignorance Of the law.
