MANUFACTnRING EVIDENCE.

The report then goes on to state how
the Returning Board, having got posses
sion of such unlawful protests, proceeded
to take evidence Of United States officers
and money being used to bring ignorant
negroes from interior fields into great
city where they were herded together,
taken before officials and had aftidavits
written down for them to which, upon
making their marks, they received their
fees and were sent home. The process
of manufacturing these affidavits is set
forth to show how negroes were imposed
upon and how worthless the afidavits
were. As an illustration of how utterly
reckless the returning board was in con-
sidering evidence, it points out that in
East FeliCians only twenty-six witnesses
to any kind of disturbance could be col
leCted. The disturbances to which they
testified had arisen from cotton seed and
other thefts by negroes, eirsuppression
which had been conducted by leading
Republicans had nothing to do with pol.
itics, and although this fact that the elec.
ton was entirely peaceable, and Repub-
licans purposely refused to vote was
shown by l 200 witnesses, and although
four-fifths of the negroes in the parish
actually did vote with the Democrats, the
Returning Board threw out the whole
white vote. The report points out great
many other instances of what it styles
the fraudulent, outrageous and desperate
character OF the Returning Board, and
shows the impossibility Of their con-
sidering testimony before them as
