The Louisiana ImiamY Exposed.

A committee Of Congress have had be-
fore them recently the members of the ras-
cully returning board of Louisiana, who We're
brOu ght to Washington in custody of the
sergeant -at-arm Their examination has
been thorough and searching, and although
they would not testify freely, enough has
been drawn from their unwilling lips to
prove the completeness of their inquiry and
to expose the gross iorgeries and frauds by
which they counted Louisiana for Hayes in
the face of 10000 or u coo majority for
Tilden. Kcnner, colored member Of the
board, upon being examined, swore that a
certain PAPER, which was shown him, was
the original statement of the supervisor of
Vernon parish, BY this paper it appeared
that at two precincts the Republican can.
didales received no votes, and the Democrats
11S, but The figures had BEEN transferred
gtom the Democratic to the Republican can
Gidales Kenner at first pretended not TO be
aUlo to see the fraud, but at last admitted it.
The result was difference Of 1856 in the ma
iorily returned from the parish. The COM
mittee had the original returns before them,
and the frauds were apparent
Further proof was furnished by j L.
i.itteheld, clerk Of the returning Board who
testified that lie had transposed the figures
at the request of Wells, in order to show the
election of certain local candidates. The
original papers from Vernon parish were do
stroyed by Wells ard tie witness. The
paper before The committee, containing the
alterations, was handed to him by Wells,
with instructions TO make way with it, but
he felt he had done enough already, and in
stead Of destroying The paper, gave it TO his
uncle, Mr. Spearing, from whom the commit
tee obtained it. It's gcnuiueness was fully
aitestel by Kenncr, orc of the board -as well
as by Litt'eflele.
The evidence of join r. Pickett, Wash
ipgton lawyer, and j II. Maddox a cofden
tial agent of J. Madison Wells, was, if posi-
bic more damaging to the claims of Hayes
than anything TINT preceded il. It appears

over the man falsely counted The Senator's
position on the subject, while differing from
that of his colleagues ON both sides, is origi-
nal and consistent. His speech was forci-
be presentation of his views.
The Republican theory is. that no mat.
ter how the vote of Louisiana was cast, by
the laws of the Stlte the Returning Board
are the sole arbters, and their declaration of
the vote, correct or otherwise, is final. That
it would be gross infringement upon State
Rights for the Electoral Commission TO 60
behini the dictum of the Returning Board,
and examine upon what premises they bast
their conclusions. Even if we admit the cor.
RICHNESS OF the Republican theory, Gov.
Hayes case is not in the least benefited
thereby. The laws of Louisiana provide
that the Returning Board shall be composed
OF five members, whereas the returns at the
late election were canvassed by only four
persons, and The refore the laws not having
been complied with, the action of this So
called Returning Board is null and void.
The newborn zeal of the Republicans for
the Democratic doctrine of State Rights is
something wonderful, even in these DAYS of
wonders
Senator Morton in his speech during
the close of the Senate debate on the COM
promise bill, avowed that the chief cause of
his hostility to it was that Hayes had sure
thing without it. He knew be ter than any
one else, how the plot was laid Louisiana,
Florida and South Carolina were to be de.
cared for Hayes, "by fair means OR otherwise"
the President of the Senate was to count the
votes and declare Hayes elected If the
Democratic House objected, there were The
troops, already masscd in Washington, to
force out of the halls of Congress, at the
point of the bayonet, all refractory members.
II the Democratic resistance was likely TO
prove too strong, it was o be declared that
no election had taken place, and acting
Vice President Ferry was { o hold the Prcsi
denIo flee until new election took place No
wonder Morton is hostile 20 the compromise

the county should have been brought so neal
