result Is determination on the part of the
Administration to institute at once vigorous
proceedings in South Carolina Florida and

election frauds in recent congressional cleo
tions in these States. The prosecutions will
be under the United States laws, and an ef-
fort will be made to judicially prove gross
outrages upon colored voters.

Returning Board Outrases.

boards. Russell, who was elected as Green
back Republican, says that he does not in
tend to go into the Republican caucus or
vote with the Republicans. IN 'Hara dis
trict the loca returning boards have already
thrown out $50 votes and the same policy
will be applied to Martins district. Russell
would be counted out and O certificate re-
fused to him, but the Democrats do not want

made himself very unpopular with his own
party. Col. Keogh said that the returns
show that several thousand Democrats in
Waddell's district STAYED away from the
polls.
