Returning Board, composed about
equally of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, gave Darrell 1926 votes, and
Ackler Dem.) 1883, leaving Oar
rell's majority 2093. Subsequently,
when the Nichols government came
into power, the Legislature created
a new Returning Board, and
ordered recount. This Democratic
Board accordingly re-canvassed the
votes and reported, 1876 for Oar
rell, and IA, o92 for Ackler, still Civ
ing a Republican majority of 1904.
Gov.Nichols thereupon gave Darrell
certificate of election, making two
documents of that kind held by the
successful candidate, Gov. Packard
having awarded him one when the
first canvass was made. Now mark
the sequel. -Four months after
wards, Parish Judge appointed a
commission to make third count.
In the meantime, the boxes contain
ing the ballots had been in ire
sponsible hands, were unsealed
when they came in possession of
this last Board, and the ballots bore
evidence of having been tempered
with. Notwithstanding this, the
formality of a canvass was gone
through with and a majority found
for Acklen. 1t is upon evidence of
this character that the latter was
admitted to his seat. The Demo-
crat does we'll to withhold its sane
ton from such nefarious proceed

A Fraudulent Southern Claim.

There was an interesting episode In
the House of Representatives last Fri
day That body had under considera-
ton bill to pay Southern mail con-
tractors for services performed prior to
May 3lst, 1861. the amount involved
being s375,00O, although there are
other claims pending of a similar char
acter for much larger sum. The bill
was championed by MIR. Reagan, Of
Texas, who was the Postmaster eneral
of the so-called Southern Confederacy,
and upon the statements made which
were apparently straightforward and
honest, several Republicans had tav-
ored its passage. Mr. Reagan stated
among other things that the Confeder-
ate Government had required all Post.
masters to account to the U. S. Govern
ment for moneys, stamps and other
public property in their possession May
3lst, 1861, when the existence of the
rebellion was formally recognized by
the United States. But the statement
Of Reagan was fat lie, and, what was
more, could be and was refuted then
and there out of the archives of tie
rebellion, now on file in the War De-
partment. Two Michigan members
had looked up the matter. First came

How Gen. Anderson Was Convicted

How Gen. Anderson Was Convicted.
The Jefferson Banner is gravely 10
error in its assumption with reference
to the finding OF the jury in the case OF
Gen Anderson. Replying to former
article in this paper on the subject, the
Banner says:
The Republican very strangely affects to
believe that the recommendation was made
because the didn't believe him guilty, al
though upon their solemn oaths they de-
clared him guilty. The jury, while evil
IDENTIFY fully satisfied of Anderson's guilt,
yet doubtless believed him the least guilty
of the four members of the returning board.
Now, the jurors in the case are more
competent witnesses than the Banner,
and are supposed to know better than
that paper possibly can, what the con-
siderations were which determined
their action. To show how wide the
Banner if of the mark, we quote from
letter published by T.. S. Mootplaiser,
one of the jury, fatty contradicting the
theory of that paper, and showing con-
cusively that but for trick, Gen.
Anderson would never have been con-
victed. He says:
As matter Of fact, l was summoned to
serve as talesman in the Superior Grim inal
Court O. this parish, Judge Whitaker pre-
siding, and was sworE in to serve in the
case above referred to. After having care
the Judge, had come to the conclusion
that Gen. Anderson was not guilty, and so
expressed my opinion at the time, the other
colored juror and Mr.. Welch agreeing with
me. Mr. Herrick at that time stated that
Gen. Anderson should be sent to the Peni-
Tertiary fourteen years, and therefore moved
that he be found guilty. A vote was taken,
and we then stood nine for guilty and three
for not guilty. Then some one II do not
recollect the name of the juror moved to
amend the majority motion and recommend
to the mercy of the court. We then in
quired if that would send the General to the
penitentiary. We were answered in the
negative, and upon that assurance we agreed
to the verdict, and should l have known
that the verdict rendered would have
assigned General Anderson to the state peni-
Tertiary we would not have agreed on said
verdict.

THERE is some satisfaction in the
fact that the new dollar is to bear the
head of Liberty, with long flowing hair
and the Spartan cap, insteaa of the full
figure which We have Oh the trade dol
lar and the fractional coins. That
gaunt figure, in its constrained and
uncomfortable attitude, holding night
cap on broom stick as signal Of dis

template, especially in cold weather.
It might have been judicious to omit
for the present the legend I'm God We
Trust" for our faith is really in the
market price of silver, which depends
wholly on mundane influences.

At the end of thirteen wears Jeffer

at the end of thirteen years Jeffer
son Davis rises to say that he was not
clad 10 crinoline and bonnet when he
was captured at the close of the war.
He wore cloak, it appears, but did
not appear as an old lady fleeing from
her enemies. The story has become
part of the history of the country.
WHY Mr. Davis has it denied at this
late day we cannot understand, unless
in bis old age he is anxious to have all
the Objectionable aud unsatisfactory
portions of his history removed before
he passes from time to eternity.

SPEAKING of Secy. John Sher.

man, the Jefferson Banner says:
AT the commencement oft discussion
he gave out that even if the silver bill
should become law, he would so OBJ
struct its execution, that but little relief
would be afforded thereby to the people.
There is not word of truth in
this statement, and it requires a
great amount of cheek in the Ban
ner to publish such a willful false
hood. Secy. Sherman, SO far from
making the declaration named, has
uniformly said that if the law passed,
its terms should be complied with
to the fullest extent, and to that end
he has had frequent conferences
with the friends and originators of
the silver bill who are entirely salts
fed with his action and purposes.
