not have had a majority Of the votes
found in the Louisiana ballot boxes. 1t
is immaterial. The question is whether
he had a majority Of the votes that were
rWhTully there, and whether any votes
that had right 10 be there were kent
out hv the intimidation and hull-doZing
of his party friends If n citizen who
uses all proper eXertions to cast his
ballot and is prevented from doing so
by force, can bring the matter in time
to the attention of the authorities hav-
ing jurisdiction, his vote ought to be
counted If citizen takes advantage
of an opportunity or Of circumstances
and slips more than one ballot into the
box, the excess above one vote ought
to be thrown out and, in addition, the
citizen ought to be punished. That is
this Louisiana case in a nutshell. He
gal votes were thrown out and votes
that endeavored to be deposited, and
that had a right to be deposited may
have been counted Was not that
equitable? After these changes, the
sum total was figured up and Sammy
j. Tilden was found to be out in the
cold. Hence these tears And hence
the prosecutions to which to-day the
members of the Returning Board are
subjected. The citizen who did the
illegal voting is not to be punished, but
the authorities who detected the illegal
voting are to be because they threw out
the illegal votes.
If the spectacle presented in the city
of New Orleans within the past few
days does not make every intelligent
and impartial American hang his head
in shame, we shall lose faith in the
sense of justice and fair play that is
supposed TO be characteristic of our
people. Partisan and prejudiced Judges
holding the scales Of justice, .iuries Or
gained to convict, perjured evidence
and foul-mouthed rabble pressing the
too-willing tools up to their work
such was the display in the trial Of
General Anderson, and such the means
employed to convict him. Mr.. j.
Madison Wells may have written his
recent letter under the sense of the
burning wrongs that have been heaped
upon him, but we know enough of the
history and spirit Of Louisiana kukluN
and White Leagues to lie assured that
he does not greatly oversta,e and that
they would hesitate at nothing, would
stoop until they had touched the very
bottom of political filth in order to
accomplish their ends and to wreak
their vengeance. Oh, for one week of

PERSECUTION IN LOUISIANA,

So conflicting are the reports con
corning the Louisiana Returning Board
its past doings, the personnel of its
members, their arrests and their trials,
that the average American, no doubt
hesltates between the belief that it was
composed of angels and the conviction
that it was made up Of demons. For
our part, the evidence that has reached
Us has convinced US that its members
were simply human beings, endowed
with natures common to mortals, liable
to err, but discharging their duties in
accordance with what they believed to
be law and justice. That they did sub

EXPEDITION TO THE NORTH POLE.

The Senate tommittce on Naval
Affairs, at lis meeting last Friday
agreed to report favorah|y Mr.. Dawes
bill TO authorize and equip an eypedi-
ton to the Arctic seas The bill au-
thoriZes the President Of the nited
States to organize and send out one or
more expeditions toward the north pole,
and TO establish a temporary colony,
for purposes Of exploration, at some
point north of the Slst degree of north
latitude, on or near the shore of Lady
Franklin bay; to detail such officers
or other persons of the public service
to take part in the same as may be
necessary, and to use any public YES
sci that may be suitable for the pur-
pose the scientific operations Of the
expedition to be prosecuted in accord
ance with the advice of the National
Academy Of Science, and appropriates
$4,000 to be expended under the direc-
ton Of the President.
We commend this enterprise to the
favorable consideration of all patriotic
people for the reason that we have be-
lieved for long time that the United
States were much in want of q politi-
cal Botany bay, to which the misera-
BILE bummers and shysters, who infest
the national capital, could be trans
ported. If Congress will amend the
bill, SO that the colony may be com
posed of the two classes we have re-
ferred to, they will do the country a
good service, for which the honest
masses will heartily thank them. The
temperature of the atmosphere is not
so high on the shore of Lady Franklin
bay, it is true, as it is at Botany bay,
but that is of little or no consequence,
as the most of the culprits who will be
sent there will have an opportunity Of
ENJOYING the delightful climate of a
much warmer place, when their term
Of Punishment expires. BY all means
let us have the new colony.
