LOUISIANA.

Especial to the Cincinnati COmmCtcIal.l
New ORLEANS, December 3.-Kelloge
says that the Board will surely announce
tho result tomorrow night, but he do
clares lie has no idea what that verdict
wiIlbe. The Republicans have all gone
home, but the Democrats remain to see
II out and vindicate the Constitution
Ifthe Board gives tho State to Hayes, th.
Democrats will prepare an elaborate ad
dress to the country, setting forth the
law and the facts. This will be in
addition to the address they sent Nortl
on Friday night.
The Republican to-day gave two col.
umns Of extracts from speeches ot
George W. Julian, containing his most
bitter utterances against the South and
the Democratic party. The object il
supposed to be to give the Democrats
cheerful Sunday reading.
Although the Board is about through
with It's labors, the work Of taking sworn
statements at the Custom House still CON
tinues. The objec. Is probably to show
the North the diabolical means used to
carry the FIVE disputed parishes for Til
den and create public sentiment that will
sustain the Returning Board and show 10
the terrible srrsy Of facts the necessity oi
having such an Institution. The Board
IL the only protection the Republicans
have against the Mississippi style oi
campaign at any time. But for this con-
trivance, the minority would run over the
majority with pistols and guns, just as
they did in ouaohita Parish, and there
would be no remedy.

TO say to him in the iriendliest but most

Sary nourishment for his services; and
that is, tho little McCook transaction.
Like the apparitions that tortured

prot. Inmea Russell Lowell.

New York, December 4.-The EEen-
inc Post has dispatch from Boston In
reference to the report which has gained
some currency that an article Ia last
weeks Nation in regard to the duty Of
the Republican electors had the approval
Of Prol. James Russell Lowell, one Of the
Republican electors OF Massachusetts.
Mr.. Lowell says he never wrote the lead.
er for the Nation, and had nothing to do
with It's article on the electors. His de-
cision as to hiS duty he had reached three
weeks ago, and Il had never changed,
namely, that he must vote according to
the understanding on which he was
chosen by the people. He might wish
1t were otherwise. II he were an ambiti.
ous man he might, he said, cast his vote
for some other person than Hayes, but
for an honest man there could DO no eva
sion Of an electors duty to vote accord-
ing to the understanding al the. time he
was nominated. What may have hap.
pened since was none OF his business. As
to whether fraud had been or was TO be
prActiccd in the disputed Southern States;
Professor Lowell said that he did not
think any man thousand miles away
was competent to judge.
In reply 10 the inquiry about the pub.
lished report OF the interview between
President Grant and Mr.. Hewitt the lat.
ter tOlegrAphed to the Evening Pos, from
Washington as follows: The President
stated that It was not his province 10 de.
eide whether the elections in the States
had been fair or not, but assuming that
II Congress should decide to throw out
the electoral votes Of Louisiana In con.
sequence Of frauds In the returns, we dis.
cuSSed the effect Of such action on the
final result and whether It would neces.
sarily throw the election Of President
Into the House Of Representatives and Of
Vice President into the Senate.

SOUTH CAROLINA.

COLUMBIA, s. G., December 4.-After
the two Houses were called TO order
Speaker Wallace announced that as there
were one hundred special constables in
the State House to eject the Democratic
members, and as be feared such move.
ment would be resisted and bloodshed
would ensue, he adjourned his House to
meet at Carolina Hall, where they are
now in session. The Republicans then
went into secret session in the State
House. The town Is full Of people and
great excitement prevails.
CAUCUS WITHOUT PUBLISHED RESULTS
NO VOTE COUNTED FOR GOVERNOR.
COLUMBIA, December 4.-The Demo.
cratic House continued in caucus all this
afternoon. Whatever action was taken
Is unknown. The Republican members
OF the Senate held caucus previous to
the regular hour Of meeting Of the body
which was not harmonious and lasted till
l P. NJ, when the Senate met. The ses.
sion was unimportant till Just before 2
P. N. it was moved that the Senate ad'
journ. The motion was carried by vote
OF 10 ayes to IA nays. This action is re.
garded as important as 2 o'clock to-day
was the hour set for counting the vote
for Governor and the Senate ad.
journed without considering that ques.
tion or postponing II to some future
day. It is virtually disposed of
In that body and must originate in the
House. The question Is now whether
the Senate will recognize the Maekey
House as the constitutional body, with a
membership Of SO only. holding certif.
Gates from the Board of State Canvassers,
while 63 Is necessary for quorum. The
Democrats have 90, requiring only three
to make quorum.
The city tonight is full Of people and
others are arriving.
The Supreme Court heard the argu.
ment during the entire day Of the appli.
cation for mandamus requiring the
Secretary OF State to deliver the returns
for Governor and Lieut.. Governor to
Speaker Wallace, and adjourned at 1880
r. N. until tomorrow at II AM. As this
question involves the other question, rs
to which is the legal House Of Represen.
tatives, the action Of the court is looked
forward TO with great interest.

Figuring for a Verdict

TALLAHASSEE, FLA, December The
morning was consumed principally with
the presentation Of u general argument
by The Democrats. This was prepared
by Democratic lawyers who are here,
and was presented by Col. George W,
Blddle, Of Philadelphis. It Is an elab.
crate document, laying down certain
general and well.known principles ol
law and then discussing the caseS Of the
contested counties under one or the other
Of these principles. It closes by asking,
first, that the Board simply figure up the
face OF the returns, on which It claims
l29 majority for Tilden; or, II the
Board should see fit 10 20 behind
the face Of the returns, that 1t throw out
certain counties and precincts, which will
leave majority Of 1907 for Tilden cleo
tors. The Republicans offered no gen.
eral argument, butspent the day in of.
ering new affidavits and testimony. The
decision Of the Board Ii confidently look
ed for tomorrow, II ia not possible TO
make reasonable guess as to what 1t
will be. -.-.. u-n

The Nebraska IuiunclIon Case.

OMAHA, December 4.--The counsel for
the Republican electors to-day asked
Judge Savage to put the case, wherein
the Democratic electors petition for an
injunction to prevent the former from
casting the votes, over until tomorrow
morning, but the Judge decided to hold
a night session. The counsel put in a do.
murfer and are arguing 1t tonight, quo.
ting authorities 10 show that the petition
is not a perfect one, and also that the court
has no Jurisdiction in the matter. Should
the court overrule the demurrer the case
will be tried on la merits to morrow. II
seems to be the general belief that the
Republican electors will meet and cast
the vote without regard 10 decision OF
the case. Energetic efforts continue to
bo made by the Republicans to get
quorum at the extra session OF the Legis.
lature at Lincoln tomorrow. A good
many members passed through here to-
day On route there. The Democrats arc
welding all their power to prevent
quorum being present. ,....

Schurz's Solution OF the I'rcsl-
Dental Puzzle.

Sr. LOUIS, December At now ap.
pears that the communication, a synopsis
Of which was given in these dispatches on
Sunday night, was not letter addressed
to the q. s. Senate by Messrs. Schurs and
Henderson, but newspaper article writ
ten by Mr.. Scharz for his paper TO ex-
plain and to recommend to the public for
approval and support petition ad.
dressed by Messrs. Schurz and Henderson
to the Congress Of the United States, aud
which has been mailed to Washington.
The petition, which will be circulated
here and elsewhere for signatures, is as
follows:
10 tie Senate and House Of Representatives. in
Congress assembled:
The undersigned citizens Of the United
States respectfully represent that It is
highly important that the electoral votes
should be counted and the result OF the
Presidential election declared by a tribu.
nal, which, according to the principles Of
our government, Is TO stand aloof from
the ambitions and conflicts Of political
parties. That the meaning Of the consti.
iutional provision touching this matt er,
being tae subject OF different construc.
tions as 10 the power conferred by the
fundamental law on the President Uf the
Senate and the two houses Of Congress,
1t il especially desirable in the present ex.
cited state Of the popular mind to remove
the counting Of the electoral votes from
the very theatre Of sensations, and that
the counting Of the electoral votes and
the declaration OF tho result by the
Supreme Court Of the United States, in our
opinion, will inspire universal confidence
10 It's Justice and impartiality, and insure
ready acquleseuce on the part OF all Citi.
zens, without distinction Of party.
The undersigned therefore respectfully
pray, that the two houses OF Con-
grass, at the earliest possible peri
cd, propose to the Legislatures OF the
several States, an amendment TO the
Constitution, whereby the duty OF
counting the electoral votes and de-
claring the result thereof may be con.
ferred upon the Supreme Court Of the
United States, with such power and sub.
ject 10 such restrictions and limitations
as nay in the wisdom OF Congress be
deemed necessary to secure the objects
desired. In view OF the fact that large
majority OF the State Legislatures will
be In session during the month Of Janu.
ary, and those that are not may be con.
vened for the purpose, proposition
promptly submitted by Congress may be
considered and ratified by the requisite
number Of State Legislatures in time to
secure It's benefits In the settlement Of
the present Presidential contest.
