Republicans sent troops and authorized

long after his nomination. United States
marshal. to make arbitrary arrests ON the eve
Of the election, which was done; but the cleo
ton day passed IN entire peace. 1t IS charged
by the Democrats that IN some Democratic
parishes the commissioners of election were
withdrawn by Governor Kellogg, 50 that the
voters could not cast vote according to legal
forms. Ii is notorious that in Louisiana, as
in South Carolina. the whole power and IN
fiuence Of the Federal government were used
to favor the Republican party And now
there, is in South Carolina, while transcripts
of the county votes are easily accessible, and
have, in fact, been published. Packard and
Kellogg continue to assert that they have no
returns, but that the State is all right for
Hayes and Packard" The vote is now to be
handled by the returning board, The pre-
sent members Of this board were condemned
10y a Republican house, in 1870 of having
fraudulently manipulated the vote of 1874.
The formal words in which this was officially
done were these:

ported that the returning board OF that State, In
clnVaSSng and compiling said returns and prOmu
eating the results, WrOnglully applied an erroneous
rule of law, by reason whereof persons awarded
seats In the house of representatives TO which they
were not entitled, and persons entitled 10 seats were
deprived of them;
i1,sDlUeCI. That it Il recommended TO the house of
representatives, In Louisiana to take immediate
steps to remedy said Injustice and to place the per-
sons rightfully entitled in their seats.

signed by Mr.. Wheeler, now Republican can
