years without any difficulty, and Las

paramount to that of this State, have

has prescribed. At the. last moment
Colonel McEuery, who had been at
the head of the election army IN dis
affected parishes, resumes command
OF the provisional government and
certifies the. election of himself aud
others as presidential electors. We
do not choose to reopen or reaTgut
claims which have been repudliaird
by the executive recognition ot the
existing State government. We do
not even waste ink upon the fact that
the Democratic meuters of Congress
from Louisiana hold their seats apoi
the certificate of Governor Kellogg,
and that to assert successfully the les
gal authority of Mr. McEnery, would
he to unseat those members, az it
would be to upset the many other

however, accompanied the legal gov

ance of Eliza Pinkston before the Re
turning Board and the effect produced
by her testimony
A woman. Eliza Pinkston, was
brought befor. the board, aud IN n
plain and straightforward way gave
her testimony.
Her throat was frightfully laeerated,
her thigl, WAS ripped ope she WIS
ham strung aud shot, ald her infant
child had been murdered in her arms.
She got away from her mereiless
aud tiendish prosecutors, aud after en-
during every hardship, finally reached

Size was literally covered with
wonnds received at the time when the
Democrats of 0uaehita took her hus-
band from his bed, mutilated him,
aud then shot him full of bullets till
lie was dead, because he was il Repuh-
iicau and had attended Republican
meeting and cheered whene Senator
Brewster spoke.
Her appearance was one of the most
thrilling incidents iu the long drama
Of crime aud outrage of law-lefyiug
white demons upon the humble, help
less and nnresisting negroes.
Her narrative was connected, vivid
and go vincing. 1t drew tears from
rlie eyes of many listeners, and ex-
pressiols of Indignation from others.
The Democratic visitors from abroad
were startled out of their custonitis
stolidity. One remarked that a ques-.
ton of humanity WAS now involved
before which the question of the pres
idency sauk into insignificance. An
other said to ii local Democratic poll
tician, " Sir, You have deceived us! >

racy vere taken completely eff their

The New York Times says: Two

rabbi, three Protestant cergyinen,
eight presidents of banks aud insura
anee companies and six presumably
eminent citizens of New Orleans have
issued an address tn the people of the

tinn of the State of Louisiana. These
gentlemen assure their fellow citizens
that there is no danger whatever of
domestic violence i'll the State, that

Gals, and presumably unworthy of be-
lief or attention, that the recent can

Guiding those of many negroes, was
cast for Tilden and Nichols. 1t is,
perhaps, not to be wondered at that
out of $50 churches, six elergymen
should iiave been found willing to
sign such document, that out of /.
few score bank and insurance presi-
dents, eight should have pnt their
names to it, and out of the hundreds
of eminent citizens possessed by New
Orleans, six should have added their
Endorsement to this singular manifesto.
But one begins to understand the
hopeless callousness If the ordinary
Southern Democrat to stories of ont
rage aud murder, when even six re-
ligious teachers and fourteen appar-
emily respectable business men musl,

cratic candidates to protest i'll the
