KELLoG0'S STATEMENT.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 0,--Governor Kellogg
furnishes the following statement to the asso-
ciated press regarding the elections. Very few
official returns have been received outside the
city, by the secretary of state, the proper ems
todian: Unofficial statements have been re-
ceived and published here of Is republican
and Is democratic parishes, besides the city, 2S
out of 81 OF which may be called tole-abls re-
liable. Olher parishes are estimated by each
side, and the state is claimed according to each
estimate by both sides. The democrats only
parishes Of East and west Felicinia, East
Baton Rouge, Moorhouse and Ouachitta, as
having given them, as they claim, nearly four
thousand majority. No one can dispute that
these parishes were oveIrun and lntirnidated by
armed hands of the White League before and
on the day of election. These parishes have
always been largely republican. The registra-
ton in those parishes is white, 3.69S; blacks
6,7O9. They gave 5000 majority in 1872, by
the returns Of the fusion democratic board and
they gave the republican candidate $500 ma
jouity in 1874, as conceded by the democratic
state committee: In Ouichita the deputy
United States marshall was killed on election
day, the polls taken possession Of and run bv
the White League. In East Feliclnia not q
single republican vote was allowed to be poll
ed. This parish is next to the Mississippi line,
and has been turbulent more or less since the
democrats got possession of Mississippi. In
this parish got over 900 majority in 1872,
and in 1874 the republicans carried the parish
| DO more than l 900 majority. The vote claim
| ed bv the democrats in these parishes was pro :
cured by intimidation. violence and sssassina-
| ton, but the proof of this is overwhelming and
perfectly conclusive. Notwithstanding the
claimed vote of those parishes we confidently
believe We have carried the state. The demo-
Gratis never claimed to have carried the state
by but about 1000 in 1874, not counting Bar
rOl parish, which gave us over l 500 majority,
but where they always alleged frauds, and 10.

bull-dogged parishes as the democrats claimed
not counting these parishes, while the repub.

democrats have carried the state. II will no
be denied that with scarce aud exception in til,
heretofore republican parishes, except the fiv,
bull-dogged parishes, the republicans have
gained over their majority in 1874. Neither
can it he denied that the colored people votet
the republican ticket with, if possible, NOR
unanimity than ever before, when the results
OF this election are investigated in detail. Al
