KellOgg's CabaI-Eo Count Of the
Election Returns Yet


Election Returns Yet.
NEW ORLEAEs, Nov. 13.-@The Return
ing Board met to-day, received the Con
servative committee ofthree, and authorized
a like committee of Republicans to be
present. The Conservatives gave notice OF
a desire to file a protest against the Return
ing Board, as follows:
1. The Law creating the Board was uri-
constitutional.
2. The law gives them judicial power,
which they could not possess.
3. Admitting 1t to be constitutional, its
perSOnel was not according to the spirit or
letter Of the law:
Gov. Wells replied that the question OF
constitutionality was thing for the courts
to decide, but he believed the Board was
properly aud legally organized. The Con-
servatives were allowed until tomorrow
morning to file their protest.
Gen. Anderson made some remarks rela-
tive TO his desire to have fair count, and
of his willingness to resign if called upon.
He was followed by Gov. Wells and
Mr.. Casanova. Wells said they must have
legal count, but as some doubts were era
pressed regarding the integrity fthe Board,
he would be glad TO surrender his place to
one more acceptable.
A member of the Board favored taking
up the city returns first in order, that the
officers elect might take their places at the
proper time. The Conservatives showed a
resolution passed by the city officers elect,
wherein they pledge themselves not to en-
ter upon their official duties, till all the
State is canvassed.
The committee Of the Board adjourned
till tomorrow.

The Franklin ReuieuC and Journal
believes that Hon. w. G. Whitthorne
would, as Speaker OF the next House,
prove himself equal to Polk, Clay,
Blaine or any other man who has ever
filed that eminent position. Il says:
1--WE think there are higher nights to
be attained by him, and that the
Speakers pedestal is the next step in
the line of promotion. We hope he
may be selected by the House of Rep
resentatives of TIE Forty-fourth Con-

firmly convinced that no better selec-
ton could be made among the bright

while In the low, ill-drained sections,
that unfortunately are tenanted by the

ON OUR GOOD BEHAVIOR.

The Republican party must not
count, however, upon Democratic ex-
cesses. That party has now a strong
hope of national success. 1t is on its
good behavior. If it has any tact or
shrewdness it will scrupulously avoid
those measures by which public opinion
at the North would be again sharply
drawn to its past misdeeds. The Re
publicans must set themselves to cor.
rect their own errors, to purify their
own party, and to give it a wise, hon
orable and consistent policy, if they
mean to make successful resistance in
1876 to Democratic reaction.

self BY jumping from the fourth story win
dow Of the SamOSett House, in Holyoke,
Mass, seems to have been convinced that
she was not wanted alive. A year ago she
went from this city to HOlyoke to live with
her son and daughter. They sent her to
another relative in Vermont, where she be-
came pauper. The son, while on visit
there, was arrested for bringing q pauper
into the State, and compelled to take her
back 10 Holyoke, where he put her in an
asylum. Next a Massachusetts charity
agent, deciding that she belonged to Yer
mont, sent her again into that State, and
again she was returned. The asylum au-
thOrities refused this time to receive her,

THE NEGRO RENTERS IN MAURY.

OOIUlll0Ia IIOIslla al4 0IaIl'
One of the largest cotton planters in
our county told us last Wednesday
that it would take everything the ne
groes on his place made this year to
pay his rents, and that they are very
low-spirited, and do not like to work.
1t is not because of excessive rents,
but on account of extraordinary short
crops. He says, however, that he in
tends, at his own expense, to feed and
clothe the negroes through the winter.
This is generous, and worthy of imita-
ton by all our farmers. 1t has been a
very bad year on coiored renters, and
now is good time for the white land
owners to show the negroes that they
are indeed their best and truest friends.
