Electoral Commission rules on Louisiana electors dispute
The Electoral Commission adjourned after hearings on Louisiana's electors. Arguments centered on whether the Returning Board acted legally, if its certificates could be challenged, and whether Congress could review state certification. The majority declared it could not probe the board's acts beyond constitutional bounds, and adopted a decision that Louisiana's Hayes electors were lawfully chosen as certified by the returning officers.

Attempt on Gov Packard by Weldon at the State Capitol
