GOflTTESTBD SENATORIAL SKATS«
Messrs. Wood, Nicolas and Brown,
who sat as Senators in the Legisla
ture during its last session, have, by
the recent action of the Sefiate, been
compelled to 1 vatfate their seats. Th«
report of the committee, which was
adopted by the Benate, shows that
the elections, at which it wait claimed
thai these gentlemen wére choèèn in
1864, were fraudaient, and therefore
their claims were invalid.
Messrs. »Scruggs, Nelson and Bar
row, who contested tljç seats of the
other claimants for Hie Senatorial
district», respeétîvëfy-, t of Natchi
toches, Lafourche and Ibervilla, were
likewise denied- seats iu the Senate,
for the reason that no proclamation
had been issued calling for an elec
tion to snjfply the place* of the
former claimants. < •
The question has How, by the ac
tion, of the Senate, to be followed by
the proclamation of the Governor,
beert referred back to (he respective
districts, in which tbe people wHI
now be called upon to choose See»
ators to fill the vacated seats.
We hope the gentlemen who con
tested the seatB of the former occu
pants will BoOh reappear in the Sen
ate armed with such credentials from
their constituents as will constitute
them legal members of the Legisla
ture—Af. O. Orescent, Qth but.
