THE LOUISIANA AFF1D4YITs.

If anything further was needed to con-
vince the public of the atrocious character of
those who manipulated the Louisiana cleo
ton in 1876, that evidence was furnished by
the witnesses before the House sub-commit-
tee at New Orleans on Tuesday. Quite a
number of negroes who acted as supervisors
of election testified that they made no pro-
tests at the time of forwarding the returns,
as required by law in case of intimidation,
bat that, after reaching New Orleans they
were induced under various prete1ts to sign
afhdavits "merely as matter of FORM %
protests against the counting of the returns
from the several parishes, alleging intimida-
ton and violence practiced by Democrats
towards Republicans. These supervisors
now swear that the allegations are all false,
that no violence was used, attempted OF
threatened, and that they knew nothing of
the contents of the affidavits when they
signed them, but supposed that the certifca-
ton of such papers was part of their duty.
1t also appears that the affidavits in some
instances were signed in blank, and were
afterwards filled up to suit the purposes of
the returning officers.
There is no doubt whatever but these wit
nesses speak the truth. That the election in
Louisiana was exceptionally fair and free
from intimidation has been proved over and
over again. The protests that were used as
pretexts under which the returns from the
various parishes were thrown out OF falsified
were in some instances deliberate perjuries;
in others supervisors were induced to make
them under pressure-by means of threats
OF bribery; and few were procured by de-
ception, as was the case with those signed by
the witnesses referred to. By these means
over five thousand Democratic votes were
thrown out, and votes were counted for the
Republican candidates that were never cast.
1t is not surprising that under such circum-
stances unprincipled men were able to re-
verse the decision of the people and throw
the vote of the State in favor of the Repub-
licans
One feature of Senator Kellogg's testi-
AlOuy IL DIS showing TO WQaG oX-
tent bribery was employed to bring about
the desired result. It appears that out of
the several hundred Republican supervisors
of election employed at that time, all but
three or four have been provided for by the
administration with lucrative offices. Many
of them were known perjurers, few de-
faulters, but their character made no differ
ence; they received their reward. No doubt
a majority of them had guarantees before
hand, and did the bidding of their Republi-
can masters with their reward directly in
view, and knowing that perjury and falsifca-
ton was part of their duty. These facts
speak for themselves. No amount of COM
ment could add to the villainy; no denuncia-
ton could impress more forcibly upon the
public mind the utter depravity of the per-
petrators of this outrage upon the people, or
convince tnem more fully than they are al
ready convinced, of the wholly despicable
and dishonest means employed to thwart the
public will.

Dnows1Na men catch at straws. HAYES

DROWNING men catch at straws. HAYES is
in sad plight just now, and he flies for snc-
cor to Grants right bower, the guerrilla
Mosby. That individual probably exercised
more influence with Grant ia debating APP
pointments to Office in the South than any
other man in the country. He was on terms
of close personal intimacy with Grant, and
succeeded in having pretty much his own
way. He never sought or desired Office for
himself, but he had friends to reward and
enemies to punish, and he exercised his in
fuence with the President to carry out his
private revenges. Hayes would have none
of Mosby's interference when he first sue
ceeded to office by virtne of the electoral
commission fraud. But now he finds him
self in fix. His Southern policy does not
give satisfaction, and he has sought Mosby
to see if he cannot give it popularity. But
the crafty guerrilla refuses to be caught by
the tempting offer of office, and persists in
allowing the fraud to paddle his own canoe.
Hayes may as we'll give up the job. He has
undertaken too much for his capacity, and
has gone so far that even Mosby cannot
save him. a
