Mr.. WILLIAM d. HENNEN,


formerly prominent member of the Bar OF Loulsi
ana, now OF No. 81 New street, in an interview with
HERALD reporter yesterday, said that he had no
doubt whatever that tho Returning Board of that
State would count out the democratic majority which

jority, but II will not admitted by the Returning
Board, which is composed Of Governor Kellogg's and
the republican party's creatures.
"Do you think that the people OF Lou niana would
submit to such fraud again ?" the reporter asked.
Eyes, am satisfied that they will not take the n-
alive in any attempt to secure their rights by force
They have been subjected the same outrages before
and on those occasions have made demonstration in
thor own favor but have earnestly wished that tho
tune might come when you OF the North would be
compelled to undergo the treatment, to SEQ how
yoa vould stand it And the time has como
when the democrats OF the North must suf-
Tor from the fraudulent practices which Louis
ianians have borne 10 such extent, and the
people OF Louisiana will say to their brethren Of the
North, Now, gentlemen, you have opportunity 10
quar the cup of gall which we have been mpelled
driDk oil long, and We look TO to propose
means OF redress Whatever you decide upon doing
We VIII gladly JON with you in accomplishing.
How do you anticipate the result In Florida and
II hardly know what to say In reply to that as re-
CARDS South Carolina unless | say that about the
same practices will be put into effect there as IN
Louisiana The decision OF the Supreme Court
there, on the application ior injunction to

mo, cannot think that the members OF the Re-
turning Board will be influenced by any other motive
than their personal ends They will go through
the forms OF law, and then say that they have ex-
anined into the cases OF Intimidation &c that they

they reach the decision that they announce which VIII

JUDGE FREEMAN J. rrrurAN.

The above named gentleman said he had hoped that
the victory would have been decided by round maor
ties, and much figuring; but with reference to
the proper counting determination OF the electoral
vote, the votes should be counted and canvassed and
the results declared In precise accordance with the
laws OF the several States where the elections
held. There other way 10 decide the matter.
II was n question purely local. and outsider had
anything to do with it, or ought to have anything TO do
with H. Wherever the proper State officers
have discretion to examine into frauds
and alleged intimidations OF voters on com
plant OF either party, those examinations should
made fully and iearlessy and truthfully, and all
good citizens should sustain The officers in honest
effort to discharge their duties. He assumed that as
matter of course, there is some provision OF law IN
each State by which vacancies In the Electoral College
be filled, and they plainly to be understood
and should be plainly understood AS regards their ad
ministration and the privileges under them. Judge
Fithian claimed that the American people are emf
nently practical, and that they are lawnoding and
that notwithstanding all the bluster on both sides,
there will result that will be reasonably satisfao
tory all around and will be accepted by both parties

been elected that Office by the voice Of the people Of
the State which he claims represent II the votes
cast for any person elector VOID by reason
OF his being incompetent to become slector, the
condition Is the same as though votes had been
given him; and the logical consequence would 10
be that the eector the opposing ticket having the
highest number Of votes was chosen, unless by the
laws OF such State majority OF all the votes

"But as TO the senong OF gentlemen OF both parties
into the doubtful States TO tho counting Of the

"As 10 that sir, think the sending Of those gen.

tuEity TO see In what manner tho returning boards
deal with .he votes certified hav0 been by the

no doubt that OF the votes actually the late

thrown out IN such number as to deprive him OF the
