speClcAi Dispatch 10 the Cincinnati Gazette.
WASHINGTON, D. Q. Nov. IL.
From all that can be learned here, Il is
possible that the result OF tho election
in Louisiana will turn upon the de-
cision as to the right Of the returning
Board TO reject the returns OF the two
parisIies, Fast and West Feliciana. The
details as TO the vote in these two parish.
es have not yet reached here, but very
significant dispatch has come from Dem.
ocratic 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 tho
scenes Of the most, outrageous in.
timidation. The Mississippi plan ap-
pearss.to have executed there.
With the most tremendous forgery,
the parish OF East Feliciana Is
climed for the Democracy by an unani.
nous vote7 The political history OF
these two parishes will doubtless become
a subject Of the closest study in the anx-
ious weeks Of discussion which may fol.
low. The following registration and
election figures Of this parish are taken,
for the mos. part, from Democratic
sources: East Feliciana registration of
1872, taken under Democratic auspices,
white, 1,10O; colored, 1851. Registra.
tion OF 1874, white, S55; colored, 1891.
Vote for Governor in 1872, as returned
by the Democratic Returning Board,
McEnry, 65S; Kellogg, 1890. Vote for
Treasurer in 1874, Moncure, s47; ,Dubu:
clet, Republican, 1858. From this twill
be seen that Dubuclet, the Republican
candidate for State Treasurer, two
years ago, received nearly 1000
majority in this district, where the
coloted vote exceeds the white vote by
more than two ito one. II will also be
seen that the Democratic Returning
Board, in 1872, admitted that Kellogg
had, in. this parish a majority Of about
1000. tntheparish Of East Feliciana,
this year, few white Republicans at
tempted to put a ticket in the field, but
were notified by prominent Democrats
that such ticket would not be permitted.
As far as has been heard from, at the elec.
tiou, there was consequently not one Re.
publican vote permitted to be cast. The
affairs in West Feliciana are about the
same, with the exception that the colored
majority islvery. much greater. In the
registration OF 1872, made under Demo.
cratic auspices, the number Of whites
registered was l62; of colOred, 2OS4. The
Democratic Returning Board, in 1879,
admitted that Kellogg had alawful ma
jority in that parish Of over l,1OO.

ity to Ku.Klux the returns, SO to speak,
and thus prevent their reaching the
proper destination. This contingency
was foseaeen.by the Republicans In time
to guard the returns. Orders were issued
in time to defeat the Democratic plans.
In South Carolina Democrats virtually
concede the. State to Hayes, and are only
contriying schemesto secure the election
Of Hampton. Even this will not succeed,
Ia Florida returns enough have been
received to make thestate sure for Hayes.
The Ku.Klux are now powerless to pre-

Reports at Washington from Louisiana
are positive that the honest vote Of the
State is for Hayes. This will be estab.
lished by an honest and legal count, which
will be had. Tg'pd
The votes OF Louisiana, South Caro-.
lima, and Florida will be received and
counted according to the laws Of the re-
spective States. These counts will give
the electoral votes OF the three States TO
Hayes, and will elect him, and he will be
inaugurated President OF the United
