The Congressional Investigating
Committee have made their report
upon Louisiana, and from It we
olio the following:
" Without now referring toother
instances, we are constrained to
declare that the action of the re
turning board on the whole was
arbitrary, unjust and in our opinion
Illegal, and that this arbitrary, un
just and illegal action alone pre
vented the return by the Board of
a majority of conservative mem
bers to the lower house.
" Upon the general subject of the
state of affaire in the South, and
as to whether the alleged wrongs
to colored cltixens for political of
reuses are real, or were assertea
without due foundation, the com
mittee took all proof offered as to
two parishes most accessible, and
in addition they received all the
testimony that was then on hand in
New Orleans, offered by either,
party, as to the condition of affairs
In other parts of the State."
