New. oRLEANs, November 13.-Hon
L. q. @. Lamar, of Mississippi, sent to
Gen. Walthall, at Grenada, the following
dispatch reports OF official returns,
signed by the Commissioners and. su.
pervisors, which show a clear majority
for Tilden OF 1857. In several instances
the Republicans refused TO sign the re.
turns and from a few Republican par.
ishes no official count has been received.
The Republican figures are adopted in
the above estimate. The Republicans
claim that the returns from these
parishes may be revised, changed and put
In shape SO as to give Republican ma.
iority Of about 1900 to 1000.
The people of New Orleans, though
profoundly agitated are quiet, and there
is not the slightest purpose to disturb the
public peace. The proposition TO place
the counting Of the vote under the super.
vision OF honorable men OF both parties
from distance, meets the cordial con.
currence OF the entire community.
The sending OF troops here is regarded as
a promise and guarantee OF support and
impunity to the Returning Board In the
action tits expected to take. Wells and
Anderson are the principals Of the Re.
turning Board, two colored persons, one
OF them without education, being with
them. They are the same who acted in
1874, and who BY fraudulent returns 90.
casioned the invasion Of the Legislature
by General Sheridan, and were set aside
by the Congressional Committee OF which
Wm. A.. Wheeler was a member. Al.
ter Sheridan had expelled certain mem.
bers Of the Louisiana Legislature,
Wells was rewarded by being made
Surveyor Of the port OF New Orleans,
and Anderson had a member of his
family appointed to the Military or
Naval Academy. Kellogg and Packard
are universally believed 10 be concerned
in the corrupt and fraudulent midnight
order OF Durrell and the seizure Of the
capital in 1872, and also In the invasion
OF the Capital in 1874. Kellogg, Packard,
Wells and Anderson, stand condemned
as infamous, andnothing but mistrust at.
taches to what they say or do, and what
they touch they contaminate: These men
have been encouraged and maintained in
a course OF conduct contrary to the Con-
and.th laws, and dangerous TO
the liberties OF the people.
