fact was never disputed by any
honest man who examined the case.
Nevertheless, the Returning Board Of
the. State counted in Kellogg by fraud.
and Grant recognized him as Governor,
and upheld the usurper with the sword.
Two years afterward q committee Of
Congress, a majority OF whom were Re-
publicans, stigmatized this Returning
Board as dishonest and unworthy OF
confidence; but by the Intervention of
William A. Wheeler, who was one Of
the committee, q compromise was i'm
posed upon the powerless people of
Louisiana, whereby Kellogg was left
in the Governors office.
Last fall the Tilden and Hendricks
electors were chosen in Louisiana by q
majority Of about 5000. Notwithstand-
ing this decisive verdict of the people,
the Returning Board Of that State, by G.
series OF knavish and fraudulent prac-
tces that would have made the most
depraved of Boss Tweed's ballot box
suffers blush, threw out legal votes
enough to count in the Hayes and
Wheeler electors by three or four thou
sand majority. This being done. Kel-
logg, the usurping Governor, commits
stoned these bogus electors, who, In
due time, assumed to cast the eight
votes OF Louisiana for Hayes and
Wheeler, and then sent an authentica-
ted certificate of that transaction to
Ferry, the President Of the Senate, to
be counted by him In order to carry in
the Republican candidates.
No intelligent person doubts the
truth OF these statements. The main
facts have not only been proved this
winter before committees Of Congress,
but the testimony tends strongly to show
that the Returning Board were bribed to
count In the Republican electors.
Ere long the louisiana case will come
before tho Electoral Commission. A
motion will doubtless be made to in
qure into the real facts pertaining to
the election in that State for the simple
purpose OF ascertaining whether o
majority OF Its people voted for Tilden
and Hendricks, as every intelligent man
in the country knows they did, or for
Hayes and Wheeler. as Kellogg, the
usurping Governor, and Wells and the
other perjured scoundrels Of the Re-
turning Board, say they did.
The whole nation will read and reflect
upon this motion, and will then listen
with intense interest to the votes there
on OF Nathan Clifford, Samuel +. Miller,
Stephen J. Field, William Strong, and
Joseph 2. Bradley, Associate Justices
Of the Supreme Court; and will watch
to see II any and which of these jurists
join in an order directing Congress to
count the eight votes Of Louisiana for
Hayes and Wheeler.

Matt Carpenters Great Argument.
HE Will Held that There Is no State
Government In Louisiana to
Confer Commissions on
Electors.
'Thc Unonstitutionality of tho Returning
Board win Also be shown.
Especial TO N. O. Democrat. |

WASHINGTON. Feb. 13.-The general
@eeling here tonight Is akin to that felt
$by armies on the eve Of decisive battle.
T'he Republicans claim, and most Dem
ocrats concede, that the decision of the
Tribunal as to the method Of procedure
/ ia the Louisiana case will effeotually
settle the whole question in this case.
The Democrats have three positions !:
&the first is that embodied In Senator
McDonald's objections, and involving q
*question as to the eligibility of the State
government under the seal of which the
HAYES certificates were sent here. This
position will be exhausted by Matt Car
penter in an argument Of which, 1t Is
safe to say, the like has never been
heard In the Capitol building. Carpen-
ter's theory--in which he has the sup
port OF Edmunds' record In Pinchback's
case. and Hoar's record in the investl-
cation two years ago-will be that
there Is no State government in
existence In Louisiana, and hence
no power exists there to appoint elec-
tors. Subsidiary to this theory are the
minor points Of the unoonstitutionality
iof the law creating the Returning
Board and the powers delegated to that
Board TO throw out votes upon er parte
testimony, this being In direct antag-
onism to that republican form Of gov
ernment which the Federal constitution
guarantees to every State.
The Republicans will meet this argu-
lnent with the claim that the Wheeler
compromise made Kellogg de .fdcto
Governor Of Louisiana, and invested
his government with all authority re-
squired for the legal appointment of
presidential electors.

The Radicals are jubilant and the
Democrats are despondent. Both seem
to have concluded that the nnint,ts
shown by the Commission In the de-
cision already made settles the Presi-
dency. The exclusion OF evidence save
that delivered by the President Of the
confess, rather an ominous look. But
even IL this were conceded to have been
dictated by party feeling, 1t is not de-
cisive OF the election. There. yet re-
mains to be decided a number OF ques-
tions, even within the restricted rule OF
the Commission, any one Of which, de-
cided against them, would be- fatal to
the Radicals. There are, for example,
three ineligible Radical electors. be-

In the Florida case, they will set aside the

both varying from the figures, but for
different reasons Is final, is the same I'm
both cases. Then there are questions
as to the validity OF the elections in
South Carolina and Louisiana. and i'm
the latter whether the Returning Board
had any jurisdiction over the electoral
vote. These and other questions re-
main to be decided, and it cannot yet bs
assumed that the judges will cooperate
with Mr.. Garfield and Hoar In deciding
them all for Hayes. CT is reported that
Messrs. Garfield and Hoar have not
only settled that, but decided at Welck-
er's q day or two ago that Mr.. McCrary
should go into the Cabinet.)
It was one OF our objections to the
Commission that 1t might ignore
the great questions which interest
ed the public mind in connection with
this election, and legalize acknowledged
fraud upon some narrow technicality.
But whilst party affiliations may un-
consciously influence upright judges to
rescue their party by tiding them over
one or two bad places In that way, they
could hardly deceive themselves or
others rs to the influences under which
they acted, IL, instead Of straining one
or two points only, they were obliged
to strain dozen or more, and all in one
direction; and this is what this case
requires.

waiting for his opportunity. While
Adams reads Mr.. Fields elaborate

which Lawyer Evarts proffers with much
