The "annexed paper" referred to in the 

 foregoing is as follows : 



I. 



1. We offer to prove that William P. Kellogg, who 

 certifies, as Governor of the State of Louisiana, to 

 the appointment of electors of that State,- which 

 certificate is now before this commission, is the 

 same William P. Kellogg who hy said certificate 

 was certified to have been appointed one of said 

 electors. In other words, that Kellogg certified his 

 own appointment as such elector. 



2. That said Kellogg was Governor de facto of said 

 State during all the months of November and De- 

 cember, A. D. 1876. 



CONSTITUTION OF LOUISIANA. 



"ABT. 117. No person shall hold or exercise at 



the same time more than one office of trust or profit, 

 except that of justice of the peace or notary public." 



II. 



We offer to prove that said William P. Kellogg 

 was not duly appointed one of the electors of said 

 State in A. D. 1876, and that the certificate is untrue 

 in fact. 



To show this, we offer to prove : 



1. By certified copies of the lists made out, signed, 

 and sworn to by the commissioners of election in 

 each poll and voting-place in the State, and de- 

 livered by said commissioners to the Clerk of the 

 District Court wherein said polls were established, 

 except in the parish of Orleans, and in that parish 

 delivered to the Secretary of State, that at the elec- 

 tion for electors in the State of Louisiana, on the 

 7th day of November last, the said William P. Kel- 



logg received for elector 6,300 votes less than were 

 at said election 6ast for each and every of the fol- 

 lowing-named persons ; that is to say, John McEn- 

 ery, R. C. Wickliffe, L. St. Martin, E. P. Poche', A. 

 De Blanc, W. A. Seay, R. G. Cobb, and K. A. Cross. 

 (Sec. 43, Act of 1872.) 



2. In connection with the certified copies of said 

 lists, we offer to prove that the returning board, 

 which pretended to canvass the said election under 

 the act approved November 20, 1872, did not receive 

 from any poll, voting-place, or parish in said State, 

 nor have oefore them, any statement of any super- 

 visor of registration or commissioner of election in 

 form as required by section 26 of said act, on affi- 

 davit of three or more citizens, of any riot, tumult, 

 acts of violence, intimidation, armed disturbance, 

 bribery, or corrupt influences, which prevented or 

 tended to prevent a lair, free, and peaceable vote of 

 all qualified electors entitled to vote at such poll or 

 voting-place. 



3. W e further offer to show, that in many instances 

 the supervisors of registration of the several parish- 

 es willfully and fraudulently omitted from tlieir con- 

 solidated statement, returned by them to the State 

 returning board, the result and all mention of the 

 votes given at certain polls or voting-places within 

 their respective parishes, as shown to them by the 

 returns and papers returned to said supervisors by 

 the commissioners of election, as required by law : 

 and that in consequence of this omission the said 

 consolidated statements, on their face, omitted of 

 majorities against the said Kellogg, and in favor of 

 each and every the said McEnery, Wickliffe, St. 

 Martin, Poche\ De Blanc, Seay, Cobb, and Cross, 

 amounting to 2,267, but that said supervisors of 

 registration did, as by law required, return to the 

 said returning board, with their consolidated state- 

 ments, the lists, papers, and returns received by 

 them according to law from the commissioners of 

 election at the several polls and voting-places omit- 

 ted as aforesaid from said consolidated statements 

 of said supervisors. 



And that the said returning board willfully and 

 fraudulently neglected and refused to make any can- 

 vass of the majorities so omitted, or estimate them 

 in any way, in their pretended determination that 

 the said Kellogg was duly elected an elector at the 

 election aforesaid. 



4. We offer to show that, by the consolidated state- 

 ments returned to said returning board by the super- 

 visors of registration of the several parishes of the 

 State of the result of the voting at the several polls 

 or voting-places within their parishes respectively, 

 it appeared that said Kellogg received at said elec- 

 tion 3,459 less votes for elector than the said McEn- 

 ery, Wickliffe, St. Martin, Poche", De Blanc, Seay, 

 Cobb, and Cross, and each and every of them. 



5. We further offer to show that the said return- 

 ing board willfully and fraudulently estimated and 

 counted as votes in favor of said Kellogg 234 votes 

 which were not shown to have been given at any 

 poll or voting-place in said State, either by any con- 

 solidated statement returned to said returning board 

 by any of the said supervisors, nor by the state- 

 ments, lists, tally-sheets, or returns made by any 

 commissioners of election to any of said supervisors, 

 or which were before said returning board. 



6. We offer to prove that the votes cast and given 

 at said election on the 7th of November last for the 

 election of electors, as shown by the return made by 

 the commissioners of election from the several polls 

 or voting-places in said State, have never been com- 

 piled nor canvassed : and that the said returning 

 board never even pretended to compile or canvass 

 the returns made by said commissioners of election, 

 but that said returning board only pretended to can- 

 vass the returns mode by the said supervisor.

 ward." Act of 1872, section 2: " Board must can- 

 vass."
