Gov. Yarmouth Calls for an In
ysstigation Of the Returning
Board Trials.
The Language of the Louisiana
Resolutions.
General Anderson's Conviction a
Violation Of Both their Let q
ter and Spirit.
Significant Opinion Of Speaker
Bush.

New ORLEANS, February 1.-THE res.
olution introduced by e1-Gov. War
mouth, in the Louisiana Legislature yes
terday, was discussed In the House to-
day. It read as follows:
Resolved, That the Committee on Judi
ciary be directed to report without delay
whether or not the prosecution Of the
officers Of the late Returning Board is not
in violation OF the pledge Of the govern
ment made on the 20lh Of April, 1877, in
words as follows:
"Desirous Of healing the discussions
that have disturbed the State for years
past, and anxious that the citizens Of all
political parties may be free from the fe-
yerisha nxieties Of political strife and
Join hands in honestly restoring the pros
perity Of Louisiana, the. Nichols
Government will discoun,enance any
attempted persecution from any
quarter Of individuals for the past
political conduct; that the govern.
ment be requested to forward . copy Of
these resolutions to the President Of the
United States; that the committee shall
have power to send for persons and pa-
pers and examine witnesses for the pur-
poses Of this report"
Mr.. Jonas defended the action Of the
law officer Of the State, and denied that
any pledge had been made that implied
immunity ior members Of the Returning
Board, or that any person or persons had
authority to condone their offences
against the laws OF Louisiana. That the
charge on which Anderson was convicted
was not a political ofenSe, but was for
the crime Of forgery, which was viola.
tion Of criminal law.
Mr.. Yarmouth held that the joint reso-
luton, approved April 20, was an act Of
oblivion by the law making power Of the
government for past political conduct; that
ii was understood to embrace all persons
aud accounts Of political character by
which the Packard Government was
sought to be sustained, and whilst no
stipulation in words may have been
made as TO the members Of the Returning
Board it was clearly SO understood by
the Republicans, and TO ignore or deny
the fact now would be bad faith on the
part Of the Nichols Government.
Speaker Bush said that he had we'll
defined views on the question which he
would express fearlessly when occasion
required, but he now simply desired TO
say that Mr.. Jonas did not represent his
opinion on the subject, and that he dis
sented from his views on Mr.. Warmouths
motion.
The resolution was laid over.
No indications Of Gov. Nichols inten'
tion concerning Anderson can be ascer-
tanned. He has scrupulously refused to
interfere with the law officers and the
courts, or to express his views. Intimate
friends say he could not consistently, with
his sense Of duty, interfere. He will un.
doubiedly act independent of any inter.
ference on the part Of Federal authority,
and equally independent Of domestic
criticism.
