The LOUISIANA SERIOUS FAECE.-The
supreme Court of louisiana has reversed
the verdict Of the Court below, IN the
case of returning board Anderson, and
ordered his discharge from custody In
substance, the court holds that forgery
and perjury are not crimes, when com
mitted against the people Of state, In
such way as to set aside their honest
vote at a presidential election, and to de
fraud the republic Of its clearly elected
chief magistrate. 1t vas to the credit Of
the infamous Jeffreys that, with all his
atrocious conduct III criminal cases, in
civil law his judgments were mainly Just.
We are not aware that this measure of
saving praise can justly be awarded the
Louisiana supreme court judges The
synopsis OF the decision, as reported in
The dispatches, gives the impression that
the court was more disposed to please
Hayes, than to maintain the law, or to do
Justice.

speech coull not be misinterprcted. 1t Was

one title clear to the white house or any
other mansion. His colleague was, III great
part, responsible for ,heelectoral commission,
and he naturally desired to have the result
certified as good The result, however, was
bad. 4 non-elected man held the rresi-
dency through the crime OF a convicted
forper and tha. convicted forger held an
important post IN the custom service.
