Returning Board,
NEW YORK, December 26th. - The
following dispatch from Governor

ing; n, o,
The wrong just perpetrated by the Re-
turning Board against the people Of
Louisiana and which virtually threat
ems the safety and integrity of Repub-
lican institutions in the United States,
action of the Lynch Returning Board.
1t surpasses even the midnight order
of Durell, and would not be submitted
to by any free people. Resistance to
the national authority represented
here by large portion of the army
and naval fleet sustaining the usurpa-
ton and sitting the voice of the peo-
pie has never been mediated.
(Signed) JOHN MCENERY."

Mob Law.

Uniontown, KY, from negro incen-
diaries. They hung up a colored
woman three times to extOrt from her
the confession of plot. The town
is much excited and strictly guarded.
Reaction i'm favor of the Pacific Mail.
NEW YORK, December 28th. There
is a strong reaction in favor of the Pa
cifie Mail Company in consequence of
TWINS refusal to testify how the
money was spent. Inview of his dec
laration that he returned from Europe
to destroy the Pacific Mail Company,
the general conviction is that he
would prove the corruption of Con-
gressmen if he could. His frequent
communications with the representa-
tives of the Central Pacific Railroad,
show his cooperation with them in a
desperate effort to break down the Pa
cfic Mail Company and help Jay
Gould in his bearing speculation. If
Irwin don't make clean breast of it,
his attitude will be unfortunate, and
will destroy the value of his other tes-
timany. Some say his brain has not
recovered from the effects of fracture
of the skull.
