THE TROUBLES AT THE SOUTH.

In the dispatches to yesterdays hide
peade,.. we find the following:
! NEW ORLEANS. December ID.
| The Returning Board is completing
| its returns, counting every contested poll
| in the parishes where fraud and Ia!In,-
dation have been clearly established.
| The majority now claimed by the oppo-
| sition for State Treasurer is little over
| 20 900. and it is claimed that the Return
ing Board are daily and hourly threat
! ened with assassination unless they
| make their returns in accordance with
the White League dictation. In many
| cases the Republican Constitutional
Amendments are admitted carried by
large majority. The total vote is larger
| than in 1872. 1t is asserted that during
the late Vicksburg troubles two COM
panies of White Laaguers started from
here for that city. 1t is also charged
that an alliance exists between Texas.
Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
Il is very evident that the state of at
fairs in the Gulf States is full Of PERI.
The ons-threatened war OF races seems
imminent. The same spirit which re-
pudia.ed the action OF the majority OF
tie American people with regard to the
Presidential election Of 1860; the same
bitter hostility to TIE acts of Congress
known as tie Reconstruction Laws, and
which Led to the forming OF the kuEluz
klans; the implacable hatred OF the en-
franchised blacks which led to the
Memphis and Louisiana massacres
warrant the cEet!itins Of the statement
that there IS league existing between
the urtamed rebels of the four States
above named. We have little doubt, in
deed that just such coalition rs that
either does, or very Soon viii, be entered
into between the enemies OF RECONSTRUCT
ton all over the South. This attitude
of the States OF the late Confederacy
will force the issue in 1876; and if the
spirit which animated the North in 1850
has not died out and given place to a
perilous apathy, this growing conspiracy
against the solemnly guaranteed rights
of the Freedmen will meet with q check.
The signs are abundant that the South
will not fail to furnish the needed arsu-
ments to prove to the wransleTs who
have sacrificed the Republican party at
the demand of side issues and personal
prejudices that they must again renew
their allegiance to that organization, or
see the rebels strip the trophies Of its
har! earned victories fem The keeping
Of the Nation.

GIL DEBATED IN THE ASSEMBLY.

Mr.. COLE, Chairman of the Committee on
Privileges and Elections suggested the propriety o.
taking up the Madden Abbott contested seat case
Mr. JOHNSON hoped would not be taken up but that
the regular order OF business would be gone through
The CHAIR decided that 1t privileged question,
and needed no notion and that the report was now be-
fore the Senate.
Mr. COLE advocated the adoption Of the resolution
remarked by the majority OF the Committee awarding the
seat TO Mr. Madden If the resolution oil the minority
was adopted Mr. Abbott would hold his seat against our
convictions Of what right is 1t Is conceded by all that
IL the canvassers had performed their duty Mr. Madden
would have got his seat leaving to Mr. Abbott II fraud
discovered to take legal steps TO secure the seat
which the majority Of the Committee reports belongs
to Mr.. Madden.
Mr.. JACOBS believed that the subject involved was
very important in fact too important to pass upon
hastily and he moved that the further consideration OF
the question be postponed until next Tuesday immedi
ately after the reading of the journal.
Mr.. WOODEN said the question OF equal i'm
portance TO the sitting member and the contestant
also 10 the people they represent. Already month had
been spent by the Committee the Investigation OF the
case and he believed that sufficient time The tes-
timony before the Senate ia printed form. There
WAS nothing to DO lost, aud nothing TO be gained by
postponement.
Mr. JACOBS said there we're many questions OF i'm
porance in the case and they were before the Senate

During the examination on Tuesday Mr. Til'on stated
facts which prove ncOntestaby that he himself the
sole Inspiration OF the Woodhul scandal and that he
gave Mrs. Woodruff all the alleged facts on which her
exposure founded. Among other things IN answer
the question whether he had said anything to Mrs.
Woodruff rejecting the integrity OF Beecher before
Mrs. Woodruff published hor scandal Tilton said: 20
yes; gave her my opinion Of him very freely" IL has
also light that Tton did his best TO induce Mr.
Beecher to preside over Mrs. WoodhulPs meeting. ana
used as one iuducemcnt the necessity OF concentrating
Mrs Woodruff, who he saia was in possession OF dam
aging rumors concerning him, and would possibly use
them against him. He told Beecher that he would bet

At another time asked to produce the originals
of the letters quoted In statement but declined. lie
then asked il he had other evidence OF the crime
he had charged upon Mr.. Beecher. except his wifes
