TESTIMONY BEFORE THE COMMITTEES.
New ORLEANS, January 2.-Mr B. II
Joirase, well known lawyer of this city
a late State Senator and member-elect of
the House was examined before Mr..
Howe's Senate committee this morning.
He declared that Governor John Nc
Enery's famous ante-election speech at
Monroe, although warm and in some
sense aggressive, was conciliatory towards
the colored people. He argues that vio-
lence could only result in harm to the
Democratic party. He did not advise
killing, as testified by Bourges, but coun-
selled submission to everything to avoid
a collision. The Democratic canvass
was essentially moderate and conciliatory
Mr.. Mari also distinguished lawyer and
Democratic politician was examined at
great length by Senator Howe on the
history of the relation between the two
races in this State. He declared that nc
intelligent white man in the State wished
to deprive the colored people of the
elective franchise.

have here what purports to be the certi-
ficate of the State of Louisiana; suppose
he should say that the State of Louisiana
is in rebellion against the Government;
that, by the proclamation of the Presi-
dent, it is declared to be in a state of in
surrection, and that that condition of af-
fairs has been recognized by both houses
of Congress; Il therefore will not allow
the vote ofLouisiana to be counted in the
electoral vote Suppose he should so de-
eide. # # Any member of
the House of Representatives, or any
member of the Senate, who is of opinion
that the vote of Louisiana ought to be
counted, will at once enter his protest
and say that Louisiana has right to vote
How shall that question be decided? Shall
the Vice President decide it,and shall his
decisio2 bo final? L say not"
