Small PoX Ship.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 23.-The steam.
or Alaska, which arrived yesterday from
China and Japan, was found to have
the small pox on board among the Chi
nese passengers, OF whom there were
nine hundred and fifty, the largest con.
sicnment since the anti Coolie excite
ment OF year ago. The vessel and
passengers were quarantined, and the
sick taken ashore. The passengers will
probably be removed TO another vessel,
and the cargo landed directly after the
fumigation. The small pox endemic is
in Hong Kong.

The substance Of the petition is,
that the petitioner was candidate
for the Office Of Auditor Of Public
Accounts of the State Of Louisiana
at the election held no the 7lh OF
November, 1876, that voters in va
rious parishes who were entitled 10
vote were denied the right to vote
at said election on account of race,
color or previous condition Of SER
vitrde, to the number of O,OOO-
that the officers known as the Re-
turning Board were by law vested
with complete jurisdiction to COR
rect the errors and wrongs which
had then arisen in these various
parishes, and that they did make
such correction and return the pet
itioncr elected to said office-that
he was duly commissi oned and en-
tered upon and enjoyed the possess
sion Of said Office for the period OF
four months, when he was forcibly
ej"cted by q government establish
ed by domestic violence, insur
rection and revolution that the
claim or pretense upon which they
have ous,ed him from his Office il
that the petitioner was not elected
and that The votes which were
cast in the parishes in which the
denial of rights to vote was affect
ed should be counted against him

of this petition petitiones has moi
been defeated or deprived OF any
election-but. on the contrary. was
elected and was declared elected

taiued his Office for the perioe
Of four months. True, there hac
been an unsuccessful attempt te

that was cast, or was attempted tc
re cast, for the petitioner anc
against the defe Adant had, accord
ing to his allegations full etfec
