ter, democrat, have returned to
.Waehiu Iton and will shortly make n
report to .the general comhiittec.-
The New York Herald claims. that
the report will be very favorable to
tho conservatives, showing TINT no
banditti exist in Louisiana, that the
State is at ponce, that at tho last
election very few republicans wore
intimi lated, and that mAny denro-
Gratis woro kept away from the polls
by federal soldiers who had warrants
for their arrest that tho returning
board acted fruudulontly and clandcs-
tinelsy, and that the white loaguo is
composed of the best citizens Of tho
State, numbering no rowdics among its
members, and that it is organized to
keep the peace, in the worthlcssnosu
Of tho metropolitan police.
This report is unfavorable to
Grant. lie, however, Us Hofy cheer
full md claims that tho country will
sustain hing. An Immense mass
meeting, composed of oitizena of
both parties, was hold'in New York
on Monday night to condemn Grants
