Returning Board, all the members OF the
Republican and Democratic committees
and counsel were present.
Gen. Anderson made another personal
explanation. .y. .s..
Judge spoffordl suggested that the
Board should give an order to compel the
Supervisors Of the following parishes to
hand in their returns, viz: Franklin
Grant, Livingstone, Lafayette and Youga'
hahoa. He remarked that 10 these par.
ishes there were large Democratic ma
jorities.
Gov. Wells said the Board was ipde
pendent Of the Supervisors.
Judge spatford-Is Il in The power Of
these I've Supervisors BY Withholding
contary to Law, the returns OF Eve

majority Of 1900, to make or unmake O
President or Governor?
Wells-If the returns are not here the
votes can't be counted.

and witnesses at present in New
Orleans. None Of them, however, are SO
monstrous in their character as the one
we have quoted, although several OF them
are shocking enough. They show, even
II half true, a deplOrabls state Of things
in tho South during the late canvass. 1t
was indeed bloody campaign and likely
to become memorable US such in the an.
mails Of the country.
We agree with Redaeld when he says
that these things should be probed to the
bottom at any expense whatever to the
country. They have gone far enough.
Let US have the facts II it Is possible at
any sacrifice to get them. The whole
power Of the government should be
brought to bear to put stop TO such a
barbaric and inhuman political regime.

official vote Of the State. The result for
electors Is as follows: Tilden, lie, $780,
Hayes, l035l5; Tilden's majority, II, ,945.
John G. Foster and John L. Murphy
tiled protest against the election Of
Benz. Williamson, one Of Tilden's electors,
on the ground that Williamson held the
position OF United States Commissioner,
an office OF profit, and under the laws oi
the United States was not eligible 10 the
office Of an elector. The reception Of the
paper was debated, and finally the House
refused, by 4 vote Of 4 to 8, to receive the
protest, on the ground that they had no
right to consider the matter.

Net Republican majority y','.,'s.' H''''''''"'a :"
Dade county Is not yet in; the majority
10 this county cannot be over ~ either
way.
The Democrats have claim Of % omit.
ted votes in Clay County. which appear on
the face Of tho returns from that county,
but they are not added up in tho general
result because it is not in the evidence
that the inspectors and clerk were sworn.
The % votes will be counted probably by
common consent; this would leave 3 ma.
Hority Of 10 for the Republican electors.
The county that made the only violent
inroad on the Democratic calculations
was Baker. They have regularly certi'
fed copy OF the return from that county
giving q Democratic majority Of 81. This
return was regular and 1t was thought
final. This morning new return was
read, signed by the Judge and Sheriff, but
not BY the County Clerk, which by the
throwing out Of several Democratic pre-.
cints gave Republican majority OF Al,
making difference Of l35 votes. The
Democrats were astounded by this altera.
tion, and will produce the precinct re.
turns to show that it Is not correct re-
turn.
Upon completing the counting OF the
returns the Board adjourned until4 p. NJ.
Upon assembling Of the Board this
evening Mr.. Pasco, for the Democrats,
demanded to know whether tho Board
had not received another return from Ba.
ker county than the one which was read.
The Chairman declined 10 state, as Ba-
ker county was not under discussion.
Mr.. Pasco insisted that u paper ante.
dating the one read, regularly aligned by
the Clerk Of the Court and Justice as
required by Law, and giving different
result, had been sent TO the Board, and
he demanded to know why that return
had been suppressed and by whom.
The Chairman still refused to consider
Pasco's inquiry. Pasco then read the I'd
rule, which reiterated that all tie returns
shall be counted before the Board, and

charged that the return from Baker coun'
ty had been suppressed and another re-
turn read to It's exclusion. he then de.
mauded that the suppressed paper be read
in order that the Board mightdecide with
the aid Of oftestimony whichlwas the right
and proper return. At this point
the Secretary without further opposi-
ton read the return signed by the clerk
and justice, properly attested, which gave
the Democrats majority Of IS. It ap-
pears that two returns, one signed as
above, and the other signed by the Judge
and Sheriff and Justice, were sent up

VIZ observe in this mornings news
that Tilden has made up his mind to give
the Attorney. .GeneralShip in his Cabinet
to Judge Meredith, Of Richmond, Va.
and not to tho Hon. Charles James
Faulkner, Of Martinsburg, Berkeley
county, W. Va. We suspect that some
malicious person has forwarded Tilder
a copy of the ISrELLIoEScER containing
Faulkner's Clarksburg declaration, ant
seeing that Faulkner was dead cock ii
the pit he has rubbed his name from th'
slate. Charles James can now go on with
his Senatorial wire pulling.
