A special 10 the st. Louis Republi.
! can says quite number of Northern
! Democrats aud Republicans called ON
Kellogg yesterday, and this morning
they concur in saying that what trans.
PRED in the Governors Office will not
permit n shadow OF doubt as to the in.
tentions Of Republicans to 80 manipu-
late the returns as to change the entire
vote of the State. The Governor was
asked upon what foundation he based
The statements contained in his letter
to the New York Tribune regarding
murderous attempts made by Demo.
Gratis upon the lines of Republicans,
and at first denied all knowledge OF
the letter, stating that he had not
written any such communications but
when copy was shown him he very
reluctantly admitted that he was the
author Of the document. As testi.
moDy to bear out his assertions in the
letter, he adduced the fact that in East
Feliciana the Republicans were openly
murdered, even unonending women
were slaughtered. 1t TRANSFERRED sub.
sequently that that particular outrage
referred to 10y Kellogg had been COM
mitted eighteen months
PREVIOUS TO THE ELECTION
and was in no manner connected with
politics, In answer to n question he
replied that only five parishes would
be thrown out, but co, siderable
number of others would not be coun.
ted. One OF the points upon which
the Radicals are preparing volumi-
nous testimony to bring before the Re-
turning Board is that planters threat
ened their laborers with discharging
them unless they voted the Demo
cratic ticket. The Hypocrisy OF the
party was well illustrated Wednesday
when several custom-house employees,
who voted in Assumption parish, were
i'm medialely turned adrlft because
they had cast their vote for Nichols.
Some Democratic visitors have ex-
pressed very decided and strong opin-
ions respecting the Returning Board
and its intentions. They are Of the
opinion, judging by the attitude of
leading Republicans here, that there
IL a predetermination on the part of
the board to count in their own men
at all hazards, regardless of law and
everything else.
WHAT A NEGRO POLITICIAN SAID.
In conversation with a prominent
negro Radical politician he told me
that the Republicans are of the opln>
ion that this question must be essen
italy settled ut Washington; that they
expect 1t and are preparing for 1t in
the North; he said also that the col
ored race would come in this time for
their share OF the offices they had been
kept out OF now long enough, and init.
mated that for their support Ia this
campaign the Republican leaders, to
keep them from kicking out OF the
traces and voting the Democratic tick
ct, had promised that they should even
be represented in Hayes cabinet.
