atives are to have the privilege of being
present when the iormality Of counting
the returns Of the recent election takes
place, if they don't have a voice 10 the
board. The returning board met, but
adorned to await the appointment of a
committee by the conservatives to be
present during the count. Previously,
Gov. Kellogg addressed a communication
to the returning board in which he says :
When the Senate elected the present re.
turning board during its session in 1872
73, | presume it was intended that the
provisions Of section two Of act % Of
1872, known as the Election law" re.
curing the members of the returning
board to be elected from all political par
ties, should be complied with. lnas-
much, however, as it is nov claimed that
the party opposing the republican party
during the recent election have no repre-.
sentative on the returning board, | re.
specially suggest that this party be al.
lowed a representation on your board.
The democratic conservative state cen.
trial committee subsequently appointed a
committee to be present during the sit.
tings Of the returning board.
The repairs at the mint in New Or.
leans are completed, and coming will be
begun as soon as an assayer is appointed
and the necessary appropriations are
made by Congress.
At the reunion of the White league or.
gauizatiops, last uight, resolutions were
adopted looking to the protection of eel
ored conservatives, many Of whom have
been recently assaulted by colored repub.
licans.

A RELlGloUs Wharf.-The Legislature OF
Kentucky Is now In session at the State Capital,
and Frankfort is, IN consequence, quite crowd
ed with strangers. Que of those religious, Sec
tartan contest Is going on in the State which
usually create more bad blood than politics or
any other subject Of worldly contention. Every.
body there seems to be in pious rage, and
some OF the most earnest of the contestants in-
tersperse their arguments with what might be
called tall swearing. a bill has been introduced
IN the Legislature to take the University Of
kentucky, located at Lexington, out of the
hands OF the State Regents, aud place it under
the control OF the Cambellites or Christian
Brothers, and thus make it a sectarian institu-
ton. 1t appears that the Cam bellites in near
ly half the counties OF the State outuumber ali
other denominations, aud are endeavoring to
coutrol legislation 10 the matter by threats to
leave members at home next year If they do
not vote for the BILL Preparatory to introduc
ing the bill they have Withdrawn all the stu
dents that they could control from the Uuiver-
slty, so as to sustain their assertion that it is
going down under Its present management A
Cambelllte minister named McGarvey, who
was one OF the professors at the college, having
been removed by the curators, has reused up
this religious war so as to obtain possession Of
the college and work his personal vengeance on
those who have dispeased him. The bill failed
by three votes in the Senate, and has now been
introduced in another form 10 the House. The
debates are very warm aud bitter, aud there is
u large representation of influential parties
from all sections of the State there using their
power for or against its passage. 1t is the
only subject of conversation in the bar-rooms
ami saloons, and piety for the lime is at dis
count. Que of the Legislators asserted the other
evening that the Regent wanted to aboIitionize
the college, which may account for 'the milk
in the cocoanut.
