WAsmSGTOy, Nov. n.-Ihe
Postmaster at New Orleans te1e
graphs to the Department, iii
afternoon, that Louisiana is uii
douptedly Republican, according
to the latest returns.
WASHINGTON, d.. g., Nov. r.
From all that can be learned here,
it is possible that the result Of the
election in Louisiana will turn
upon the decision rs TO the right
of the Returning Board TO reject
The returns of the two parishes,
East and West Feliciana. The
details As 10 the vote in these
two parishes have not yet reached
here but a very significant dis
,patch has come from Democratic
sources, which says that in these
two parishes but one Republican
vote was polled, and that was by
the United States Commissioner.
The Republicans claim that these
two parishes have been the scenes
Of the most outrageous intimida
ton. The Mississippi plan APP
pears to have been executed
there, With the most tremen-
dous forgery, the parish Of East
Feliciana is claimed for the De
mocracy by an unanimous vote
The political history Of these two
parishes will doubtless become a
subject of the closest study in the
anxious weeks Of discussion which
may follow. The following regis
tration and election figures Of
this parish are taken, for the most
part, from Democratic sources:
East Feliciana registration Of1672,
taken under Democratic auspices,
white, LOO; colored, 1851. Reg
istration Of 1914, white, S55; color
ed, 1891. Vote for Governor in
1872, as returned by the Demo
cratic Returning Board, McEnry,
G53; Kellogg, 1890. Votes for
Treasurer in 1874, Moncure, 81;
Dubuclet, Republican, 1,GSS.
this it will be seen hat Du-
buclet, the Republican candidate
for State Treasurer, two years ago,
received nearly 1000 majority in
this district, where the colored
vote exceed the white vote by
more than two to one. 1t will also
be seen that the Democratic Re
turning Board, in 1872, admitted
that Kellogg had, in this parish, a
majority Of about 1000. In the
Of East Feliciana, this year,
4 few white Republicans attenept-
ed to put a ticket in the field, but
we're notified by prominent
Democrats that such a ticket
not be permitted. AS far
as has been heard from at the
election, there was consequently
not one Republican vote permit
ed to be cast. The affairs in
West FeliciaRa are about the
3ame with the exception that the
,olored majority is very much
greater. In the registration Of
1872, made under Democsatic aus
the number Of whites reg
stored was 1872; of colored, 2,0fS.
The Democratic Returning Board,
n 1872, admitted that Kellogg
lad a lawful majority in that par
Sh Of over LOO. (

RALEIdH, N. G., Nov. 13.--In an
interview just had with United
States Senator Merrimon, a mem
Der Of the Senate Committee on
Rules, he states that the twenty
second joint rule providing that
the electoral vote of any State
shall be set aside upon the objec-
ton Of either House, although re-
scinded on the part of the Senate,
may yet be insisted upon by some
as continuing in force, since the
House Of Representatives, by
whose concurrence this rule was
originally adopted, did not join in
its abrogation. The Republican
Senators may insist upon the
recognition of the twenty-second
rule as still operative, and pro
ceed to object to receiving
The Vete Of Louisiana.
The Democratic House would
probably thereupon object to the
reception of Ohio. The Senate
then objects to North Carolina,
which the House resents by OBJ.
jecting to Pennsylvania. This pro
cess may go on until the %electo-
raj vote Of every State is
thrown out, thus making last
Tuesdays election a complete
nullity. The election of a Presi-
dent could not, then, as might be
supposed,
Go 10 thc House,
since there would be no two high
est candidates to choose from. A
new election of President and
Vice President must then be or

the Democrats claim that a count

show Tilden to have carried the
State by about 5000 majority and
Nichols by about 5000, The Re-

that majority Of the votes actp

they assert that under the law
they will be able to prove that

HOW II il In Illinois.

The Legislature in this State
will be very close. According to
present alyices it stands 1903 Re
publican to 10l opposition. This
classification includes under the
tide "opposition' Democrats and
Independents. 1t is probable that
several Of the Independents will
affiliate with the Republican par
ty, so that the prospect Of secur-
ing a Republican United States
Senator is good.

.lRedMcing She TaXatlon.

In 1867 the Government paid
$l43T8t,59 for the interest on
the national debt. Last year it
was reduced to $100,243,271, and
this year it will be nearly $5,000,-
900 less still. That is to say, the
burden Of interest has been re-
duced ono-third in ten years. This
can be contrasted fayorably with
the results Of the last Democratic
administration. When the Dem
ocrats received the adminiStra-
ton from the hands Of the Wings
III 1858, the Government was out
Cfdcbt, and had twenty millions
Of dollars in its treasury. When
they handed over the Govern
ments to the Republicans
eight years later that twenty
millions had disappeared and
siNty-nine millions of indebted
nrsS was heaped on top, showing
an actual and unexplained squan-
dering Of eighty nine millions of
dollars, in eightyears Of profound
peace.

What the Graphic Thinks.

The New York Graphic thinks
that if the Presidential election
is decided BY ONE electoral vote
the AMERICAN people may be call
ed apon TO exercise a patience,
moderation, and wisdom never
yet required of them. They will
exercise patience and wisdom,
and bring into playa little firm
ness too. The loyal people of this
country are neither fools nor IA
mites. -N--. --.--

open censure Of the Republican

In n word, they proposed to elect
a successor to Gen. Grant bt m

for his administration. The old
guard Of the party, the radical
element, regarded the question
Of human rights as the one all
absorbing question at issue, and
finally, after a desperate contest
with the conservatives, succeed
ed in bringing it to the front.
But it vas almost too late! In
the mouths of the Liberal states
men who had sneered at the
tales O the bloody shirt" and in
the columns of journals that had
derided them, appeals in behalf
of the rights Of man and denun-
citation Of political assassination
were powerless to arouse the peo-
pie. The merchants and bankers
and capitalists Of the great cities
at last took alarm, and appealed
to the country to save the credit
of the nation. But again it was
almost too late. We have won
the election, perhaps by only one
majority in the electoral college,
certainly by not more than elev-
en-: but We owe this to the &eSpfs

How Democrats Garry Mcc-
tfans.

The following we take from a
letter to the Chronicle from an
Athens correspondent, which on
ly confirms the charges made by
Republicans that the Democracy
propose to carry the elections by
force when necessary:
Aletter was received yesterday
from Il young man who was raised
here, and who went to Georgia
some time since on business, who
writes iromAugusta thathundreds
of Gebfgians voted in Augusta
and then went over into South
Carolina and voted there as often
as they wanted.
Another voting man Of our
county was at Atlanta the day be-
fore The election, who says he
saw sixty men, well armed with
revolvors, take the train for South
TO vote and fight for Til
den and Hampton.
This is the mode by Which the
Democratic party proposes to
'solidiry" the South, If our cleo

come mere f%arces, and our Gov
