The Returning Board Of Louisiana
from the Washington Republic

From the Washington Republic.l
The Returning Board of Louisiana, under
the laws of the State, was clothed with the
power Of rejecting such parishes as was
controlled by violence or fraud. The only
question to be determined is, did the Board
reject any votes without good reason for 90
doing! To answer this question correctly
we must examine the evidence upon which
the Board acted. This evidence shows Q
cotldition Of affairs in certain parishes dis.
6fscefuI to the Nation, and blot upon 0ur
civilization. We have but to apply the
same! method of securing majorities to
Northern communities to fully understand
the situation in Louisiana. Imagine ?
county or congressional district SO con.
trolled by the rifle policy that Republican
was continually in danger Of his life be-
cause of his opinfon,s sake. Imagine
armed bands of Democrats riding around,
both day and night, threatening, whip
ping, killing Republicans. in order to pre-.
vent them from voting. Imagine the roads
armed ruffians to prevent Republicans from
going to the polls, and an armed mob In
possession of the ballot-boxes, killing on
sight any one who dared to differ from them,
and q fair picture may be had Of certain par
ishes in Louisiana, whose Votes were reject.
ed by the Returning Board, in accordance
with duty and law. Does any one believe
that SUI h district in the North could have
its votes counted? We venture TO say that
no Intelligent Democrat can be found In any
Of the Northern States who would justify
the counting Of votes cast under . system
that brushes the opposition by violence and
intimidation. The following is but sam.
pie OF the cases before the Returning Board.
Some of them are sickening In their details,
and unfit for publication. The recital of
these outrages perpetrated in the interest Of
the Democratic party is simply horrible.
and should bring the blush of shame to the
faces OF all who are in any way responsible
for this deplorable state Of affairs:

Hon. VIM. A. Wheeler never received
any credit for being a practical joker.
He hasn't q tendency to such sports,
but the way he bulldOzed a rural news

When he was returning from his recent
visit to Governor Hayes at Columbus,
the train stopped at GAINESVILLE for din

known at the depot, however, that he
was on the train, and crowd went into
the car to see him q. d shake hands
with the next Vice-President. As q
number of gentleman were standing
around him, talking, a pop-eyed young
fellow pushed his way through, carry

and pencil in his hand. 1t was the
"local" of q GAINESVILLE paper. He

The young man said he did and was
about to PROFOUND q question on his
own part, when Mr.. Wheeler inter-
rupted by asking about GAINESVILLE, its
inhabitants, products, manufactures,
cost of living, condition of business,
following up these with other questions
relative to the history of the place and
its prospects, and he showed wonder
full interest in the newspaper with
which the young man was connected,
its circulation, advertising patronage,
and competition. Several times did the
young man attempt to change the SUBJ
ject Of conversation, but Mr.. Wheeler
piled him with questions until the train
moved of, and the local was compelled
to leave the car. Mr.. Wheeler enjoys

age of him. Mr.. Wheeler might parry
his questions, but he could not curb the
press. The young man printed the fol-
lowing paragraph:

President, passed through GAINESVILLE on

MAJOR POWELL, who has carefully
investigated the subject, comes to
the conclusion that poisoned arrows
have never been used by American In
dians. The belief of Indians is that
different diseases do not come from
natural causes, but are the work of evil
spirits. Hence they would not be likely
to conceive the idea of inoculating dis
ease by means poisonous substances.
They do, not know, for example, that
rattlesnake poison comes from sac in
the reptiles jaw. What they call
"poisoned arrows" or "medicine ar
rows" are arrows to which SUPER
natural qualities are supposed to have
been impaired by incantations.

removed in body, in memory OF her
sweet and pure life, she will ever be
with her fr 60 Is. ". gr
Warm attschments readily grew up
between herself and those with whom
she associated, and hearts were bound
to her by strong chords Of affection.
Her true character wss beautifully ex-
emplified by her kindness, Rentleness,
purity, and faithfulness to duty.
Many loved friends, dear Mollie, to-
gether with fend parents and affec-
tionate brothers and sisters are press
ing on and will seon ''Gather at the
River" and pass over to that ''Home
Of the Soul" there to join you and the
happy throng who sing Gods praises
and tread the shiniRg shares Of bliss

New ORLEANS, June 23.-The Gus.
tom House commission heard q number
of prominent importing merchants
complaints against the custom house
management. The complaints were
confined to the excessive bonded
warehouse charges, draysge, ssmpling
and regulation requiring bond from
the importer in cases where the dnpli-
cate invoices fail to come to hand from
the consul. The commission will
recommend changes in the regulations
covering these specifications. Gen.
Sheldon, member of the commission,
says, "The merchants spoke very
freely, pointing out many abuses
heretofore unknown to leading Off
cisls."

act without first taking steps to satisfy

evidence TO convince US that the

take or an hallucination of the Drain.
Instead Of Mr.. Beeson stealing horse,
horse had been stolen from him,
which alters the case materially. Mr..

gentleman, didn't rant and cavort
about because IA newspaper made . mis-
take, but melted the hardened hearts

rooms. How nice it is TO have things
pass of in that way. ...

A FARMER living about two and q
halt miles east OF Austin had q rough
and-tumhle, paw-and-butt fight with
calf on Sunday, and for a while,
uatil son of the man took hand in
the contest, the calf had it all its own
way. The first lunge the calf made, it
run between the mans legs and upset
him, and then pushed its advantage
with becoming energy, wounding Its
antagonist IN the face and side and
breaking his watch. The boy then
took hand, feeling a little more in
terest in the fight than the old woman
did when her husband was fighting the
bear, and the calf was pulled away.
Undaunted, the calf freed father and
son ON the fence, where the old man
was content to remain till well rested,
when he grappled the calf, tied it up
and gave it good laraping. The calf
raised the row, we believe, because the
farmer was IN the habit of pulling il
away before it got enough dinner.
