Areport that Secretary Chandler had tele-
graphed Gov. Kellogg that Louisiana mus
be counted for Hayes at all hazards, and that

he so counted, is emphatically denied by the

had won the day in each of these States. A

It seems that Henry NJ. Sollace, one of the
Republican Presidential Eectors-elect of
Vermont, was Postmaster at Bradford when

Legislature can fill the vacancy. Mr.. Sollace
states that his resignation rs Postmaster
was already in the hands Of the Postmaster
General. The New York World has a dis
patch suggesting whether Mr.. Sollace's op-
ponent cannot contest the election and cast
vote for Tilden.
