turns, investigate these charges made
| In the above statement in order that
the guilty parties may be dealt with &C.
cording to law.

Governor Wells proposed that the
Dun counsellors submit all their evil
dence and examine all the atlidavits
relating to the contested parishes, and
then submit the whole to the board for
their action. TO this reason they stated
that certain papers have been placed
among the records without their
knowledge, and the contents of which
they are not informed.
They requested that while the pro-
tested parishes are under consideration
and as each case is taken up that they
be notified so as to inspect the papers
in each case and see that none of the
proof offered by them has been abstrac-
ted or suppressed, nor that any new
contrary proof has been filed unknown
to them so that all the proof and none
other may be brought before the board
for its consideration. This request was
acquiesced in and the Carroll parish
returns taken up before anything had
been done.

ed something to the president, Gov
ernor Wells, who at once arose ami
stated that he had just been officially
informed that armed white leaguers
were stationed in an adjacent building
ready, at any moment, to disturb the
proceedings of the board. He, there
fore, moved an adjournment until
eleven o'clock Tomorrow.

improve the matter, but would rather
tend to increase the excitement.

WASHINGTON, December l4.-Hardee
has been appointed district judge of
Louisiana by the president. He goes
to the senate to-day for confirmation.
1t is safe to say that there will be no
change In the federal affairs of Louis
lana.
The new appointments for Texas are
very shaky as to their confirmation by
the senate. The new appointees fail
to receive the support they expected,
he politicians whom they approach
having private axes to grind.
Judge Swayne will not resign his seat
IN the supreme bench.
King Kalaklua has been confined to
his hotel to-day but his health is inn
proving. He will probably be present.
I'd to the president tomorrow.
