NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 15.-At meeting of the
Teller committee to-day Clement L. Walker,
attorney of New Orleans testified concerning
the election in this city, that he believes the
returns promulgated were not indicative of the
true result, the vote polled for conservatives
being counted for Democrats. He charged
generally that there were Irregularities and
frauds in the conduct of the election and said F.:
Il have sworn statements of parties who wit
messed the frauds. The citizens party was de-
MED representation at the polls on the ground
1t was not party, but faction. To Judge
from the class of men appointed commission
ers by the Democratic party, fair return of
the vote was not expected. The counting of
the vote at the polls was in most instances
made in secret, or by men determined to elect
the Democratic ticket and I am satisfied the
statements OF votes at many Of the polls made
up Tor any deficit IN the vvte for the Demo-
cratic party. Aside from the falsity of made
up returns illegal votes were cast, there being
a great deal of repeating. The conservative
party was organized for the purpose of putting
respectable men in office.

COUNTY ASSESSORS,

For several years have urged change in
our assessment system providing for county
instead of town assessors. The general incom-
potency of township assessors and their utter
disregard of the provisions of law in reference
to the valuation of property are matters of
public comment and among county auditors
and other persons who have carefully consid-
cred the question, the opinion prevails that
the assessment law can never be properly ex-
ecuted under the township system. An exam
ination of the assessment returns to this office
and the proceedings Of the State board Of
equalization for the past and previous years
will Justify this conclusion. earnestly CON-
mend to your consideration the following reso-
luton in reference to this subject unanimously
ly passed at the last meeting of the State
board of equalization.
"Resozoed, That whereas in examining and
equalizing tie valuations of real and personal
property in the State, the State board of equal
