Tricks OF the Louisiana Return
ing Board.

New Orleans Special to the New York World
Further analysis of the Return
ing Board figures developes a de
gree of rascality which could
scarcely have been suspected. 1t is
found on examination that every
poll thrown out had defeated some
Republican candidate. Here in ev
cry case of throwing out poll the
effect was to elect some defeated
Republican. Thus, a small poll in
Tangipahoa, which was not con
tested, was excluded because (even
after robbing Robertson, the Dem
ocratic candidate, of over 5000
votes), it was necessary to throw
out that poll in order to elect his
antagonist. 1t is discovered like
wise that the returns of the Board
differ enormously in the various
compilations; for instance, in order
to count in the Hayes electors they
threw out polls giving 10000 Demo
cratic majority, but in order to get
the State Senate by 2 majority they
threw out $4,000 Democratic votes,
thus counting out for Senators
about 5000 votes which they had
allowed for electors. In order to
beat Robertson for Congress they
threw out Democratic votes about
5000 in excess of the number
thrown out for Electors, and to re-
store the aggregate in the Senate
they counted back in Leonard's dis
trict, which is Republican by sever
al thousand on their showing, the
number of Democratic votes which
they had thrown out for electors
equal to the number they had stolen
from Robertson. Some polls have
been counted for Representatives
which were excluded for Senators.
Others were thrown out for Congress
which were included on the Electo
raj return. The whole canvass is a
hotch pOtch of inconsistency and
fraud.

The Nationa! Democratic Com
mittee issued an address last
Wednesday simply announcing the
result of the vote of the electoral
college and congratulating the peo-
pie on their victory for reform.
lack Chandler got it before it was
printed and sent out with it the
next morning the most diabolical
manifesto that the devil could in
spire him to indite. He says: "The
address is an imprudent and auda
cious attempt to prejudice and per-
vert public sentiment. Hayes and
Wheeler are elected, and the will of
the American people will be carried
out and maintained" Was there
ever such villainous impudence?
The democrats simply announced
the result of the vote, and he calls
it audacious, while he, the saint,
says that Hayes and Wheeler are
elected, while a quarter million pop
ular majority and a decided cleo
torsf majority slap him in the face
and tell him that he basely lies.
His premise is malicious SANDER,
his argument is a miserable lie and
his corrollary is cowardly threat.
A member of Grants cabinet says
boldly and deiantly and threaten
ingly that Hayes and Wheeler will
be inaugurated. Now, verify doth
conspiraLors meet in open council
while treason stalketh at MONDAY
clothed in the stolen robe OF au-
thority.

SCHEDULE.
For a Constitutional Amendment
The People AwakIng.

The people have waited long, and
with a patience that has command
ed the respect of the whole civil
lied world. They waited to be
convinced of the fraud in Louisi-
ana, waited patiently while the
votes were being thrown out that
had been honestly cast for I ilden.
When the Returning Board for the
second time buried itself in infamy,
and declared the vote of the State
for a man whom the vote Of the PEG
pie had rejected, still the people
waited. They were waiting to
know whether Congress would sus-
tain this wicked act. Before long
it became apparent that the Presi-
dent and the Senate would sustain
it, would carry it out to completion
by every device IN their power.
When the utterances Of the Presi-
dent, and of Prominent Republi
cans, in Congress and out, and the
tone of the Republican press, made
this fact clear, the people began to
wake up. They woke up to the sit
uation in Indiana, where a conven-
ton of the whole State has been
called. They are waking up all
over the Union, and soon every
city, every town, every village and
every hamlet will be ablaze with in
dignation at the attempt of a party
to steal the Presidency. The hon
est men who voted for Hayes will
join hands in this movement with
the men who voted for Tilden. 1t
is no longer a question of politics,
but of principle. Let the Repub-
lican managers who would steal
our votes beware Already the
handwriting is gkaming on the
wall, and their destruction is sure
to follow!

idly organized by the radicals
throughout the country, for the
purpose of inaugurating Hayes at

HEART-PIERCING OUT
RAGE.
A Young Girl OF Seventeen
Years Abducted by a NegrOs
and Cruelty, Brutality and
Sayagely Abused.

A fearful and heaTt-rending out
rage comes to US from Mississippi.
A well-to-do planter, named Per
kins, residingnear Batesville, PIANO.
la county, had occasion, two weeks
ago, to discharge a negro who had
been in his employ. The negro,
who is known as a boisterous and
brutal man, sWore chat he would
have revenge, and accordingly laid
his plans. Monday night, week
ago, he approached Mr.. Perkins
residence and succeeded in seizing
this gentleman's daughter, young
lady of seventeen years of age. By
some means the negro gagged the
girl, and bore her away from her
home. Pursuit was made by Mr..
Perkins and his neighbors, who fol-
lowed the retreat of the abductor,
and Saturday night about dark,
found his place of concealment,
which was in an old dilapidated
church in Tate county. The brave
men rushed into the building, and
there found the unfortunate daugh-
ter of Mr.. Perkins. The ne
gro had fed, and made good his es
cape, but his victim was found to be
raving maniac, her physical con
ditiOn being of the most deplorable
nature. She was unable TO speak,
and could not recognize either her
father or friends who came to her
rescue. Her feet were blistered from
the long and severe travel through
the woods and tangled brush. The
negro bids defiance to the legal au
thorities, and is still at large. Such
a brute deserves death in its most
( horrible and excruciating form.
Such brutes as this are allowed to
sit and even decide upon the desti.
ny of thirty-six millions of white
/ DeODle.
