1.-THE Governors OF Louisiana and

the election of Tilden depended on these
States, entered into mutual agreement
to return their States for Hayes by any
means"
The above contains grave charge and
seems to have been made with delibera.

sent no dispatch TO Gov. Chamberlain,
or 10 Senator Conover. I have received
no dispatches from them. have

person in South Carolina nor Florida

said, and | now repeat that the majorities
claimed by the Democrats In the heavy
Republican parishes OF 0uachita and
East and West Feliciana have not been
fairly obtained. The registered vote OF
those parishes is, white 9, l03, black $3.50.
They gave me n majority for Governor in
1872 OF 2,922. Even according to the
count OF the Republican candidate in
1874, a majority OF 1921, was conceded
by The Democratic State Committee.
They are said to have gone Democratic
this year by over 5000 majority, whilst
in nearly every other parish in the State
the Colored vote has been cast solidly for
the Republican ticket, and the Republi.

the proofs which cannot be hidden will
abundantly bear out the assertion that

LOUISVILLE, November 10.
The rcpor. that Senators Beck and
Henry Watterson and others have gone
TO New Orleans ispremature. Mr.. Wat.
terson has not left this city. In answer
10 inquiries, he said that II the parties
menHoned shouldgo to New Orleans they
would go in the interest Of peace and
order. Proposingto exert this influence
over the excited masses now collected in
the city, they could do no more in any
event than personally inform Themselves.
Mr.. Watterson expressed the opinion that
II would be eminently proper for Gov.
Hayes and Gov. Tilden, jointly and by
agreement, TO send parties OF friends to
New Orleans headed respectively by
Charles Frances Adams and VIM. N.
Eyarts and composed ot conservative
men who have the confidence Of the coun.
try. He thought that such an arrange.
ment would be able to secure a fair
count Of the vote and satisfy the whole
people, averting a most dangerous issue
and perhaps an outburSt OF violence.
