That Of these returns there are and
have been for some time plumber IN
the city OF New Orleans in the hauds
of Republican supervisors and Repuu,
Iicau candidates for Congress.
That proof OF this fact appears Ia
alidayite in regard to the parishes Of
Ouachita, Lafayette, Baton Rouge, Red
River Franklin and others.
That 1t appears from these state
ments that majority of these were
| brought down the river on the same
steamboat by which General Y. G. AM
/ derson, member Of the board, reach-
, ed tais city on Monday last,
That returns from the parish of st.
Laundry We're in New Orleans on Mon
day last, and though reported TO the
board, were not fixed up till yesterday
evening,
WheroupOn, the Undersigned, mori
than the supervisors, or other personi
holding said returns, be ordered to
bring the same before this Board o
Returning Others forthwith.
The annexed proofs show that }
GRADY, Supervisor Of Ouachita, hac
his returns in New Orleans for week
past; that J. A. Vessay, supervise
for Lafayette, had his returns in
week ago; that +. A, Glover, supervl
sor for East Baton Rouge. has beer
here with his returns for the past ten
days; that y. a, Carough, supervisor
OF Red River, has been here with hi
returns seven days that w. ii Me-
Kay, supervisor of Franklin, forward
ed his returns on the 18th instant, and
is now In the city himself,
The proofs show that George l..
Smith, Republican candidate for Con-
gress in the Fourth district, Is In the
city Of New Orleans, brought with
him the returns from Shreveport au d
other Red River parishes, and has the
returns still under his control.
The proofs further show by an an
nexed copy ofa circular letter to tie
Supervisors OF registration, from ID. NJ.
A. Jewett, secretary Of the Repuhli'
can Campaign committee, that super
visors in CuddO and other parishes
were instructed to bring the Republic
can vote Of their parishes up to The
largest Republican vote ever cast
etc.
On motion of General AudersC H.
the president Of the Board of Returns
instructed the secretary to issue ord, rs
all supervisors IN the city of New
Orleans to file their returns imn edi'
ately.
70 request made by counsel for the
Democratic candidates, that they te
notified rs to the order IN which the
,onteaed parishes would be taken up,
! In order that they might have time to
summon witnesses, Prcsident Wells
said the rules governing the board
could not be changed.
Notice would be given when II con-
tested parish was to he considered, but
no order to that effect established.
II was finally agreed that East Baton
Rougr should be the first parish taken
up. This Is the parish that hns polled
the largest coored Democratic vott
the one which the Republicans have
spent the most time and money on in
fixing up intimidation testimony, and
the one the Democrats are confident
they can Establish was quietly and le'
ultimately redeemed from Radic"lism.
The United States barracks being To-
Gated there, the charge Of "bulldozing'
will be refuted by army officers.
