A congressional sub committee report from January criticizes the Returning Board for rejecting Rapides parish returns and seating Republicans. It finds no evidence of voter intimidation, notes widespread claims of illegality, and states the November 1874 election produced a clear conservative majority unjustly thwarted by the Board. The report contrasts witnesses and official actions, citing federal arrests and military presence amid tensions in New Orleans and the state.
