TALLAHASSEE, Dec. 2O.-In conversation
yesterday, with N. Y. Herald reporter,
Attorney General Cooke, said: 81 know very
little of the Hamilton county case. None
of us saw the papers in that case until the
very night we threw it out. The case was
one of technical irregularity at most, and
was sustained by purely ex parte afdida
Wit. The Democrats had made no earnest
defence. because the case had not been be
fore the Board, except in the mere mention
of the aflidAvts that had been filed. The
assertion made in the minu es that vo! ed
for the rel ction Of this precinct is simply
and absolutely false. did no such thing.
l voted against throwing It out and pro-
tested against it. I could not have voted
10 reject it. There was "no charge of fraud
"The whole charge was that the inspec-
tors, worn out with tbe nights work, did,
after counting the vote, adjourn-it then
being 'clock-until 9 in the morning.
They met at this hour and filled out
the certificates according to the figures that
were reached and announced the night be-
fore The Republican inspector signed the
certificate without protest. A week or
two afterward, for some reason or
other by reason of a political necessity,
I helieve, he made an affidavit in which
he said that he was not certain that the re-
turn he had certified as correct was cor
rect. He makes no charge that it is incor.
rect. He merely says that it may be in-
correct. Opposed to this negative testi.
mony of one inspector ia the positive testi-
mony of the other two inspectors. Who
hesitates as to which to takes The truth is,
the Republicans, in looking over the State
after the election, found two points Mon

and In the other case because of cold and
the lateness of the hour. In both cases the
inspectors all signed the certificates with
out protest. In both cases the vote is pro-
ven correct, and in neither case is its cor
rectness attacked; and yet in both casrs is
the whole precinct thrown out. If General
Barlow wouldhave voted against throwing

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 2O.-The labors OF
the Senatorial committee are to be hurried
up. 1t is said they have received notice
from Washington to return as soon as posi-.
BILE, it being feared that some political
emergency may occur in which their pres
ence and votes will be wanted.
General Nichols was serenaded tonight
at the City Hotel. He made short speech,
the pith of which was that he considered
himself the duly elected Governor of Louisi
ana, and proposed to take his seat as such,
relying upon the people to sustain him.
The event has created guile stir in politi-
cal circles.
GOV. NICHOLS SPEECH.
General Nichols reafirmed the statement
made before the Nominating Convention
that he would be Governor of the whole
people and not Of party or race. In con-
clusion he said "In the midst of the grave
events now transpiring it would be inexpe-
dent and unwise for me to define an exact
course to be pursued. This much must
say to you, let every Individual citizen yield
his own opinion as to the best mode and
best times ofreaching the final result, which
we all have equally in view, to the decision
OF those who, accepting positions of honor
and trust rendered them by their fellow
citizens, should justly assume the RESPONSE
bility flowing from these positions. Peace
ably, fairly and legally elected your Gov
ernor by majority of over 5000 of the
votes of both races in the State, I announce
to you my fixed determination to assert
and maintain my right in that position !;
and l know that you are equally determined
shall do so. shall be prepared to do my
whole duty, and shall expect the same
from every citizen of Louisiana"
MR.. ANDERSON BEFORE THE BOARD.
Anderson, of the Returning Board, was
before the House Investigating Committee
tonight. He was much more affable than
Ex-Governor Wells. He testified that he
did not even know, and does not now know,
whether the returns sent in by the various
supervisors of elections to the Board show
ed majority for Hayes or for Tilden.

Cremation Among Arizona Indians
H. S. Thompson, who returned from q
trip to Hardyvi'le, Arizona, few days
ago, reports the death and cremation of the
mother of Macadow, noted captain OF
the Mohave tribe. The wake was kept up
for several days, during which fourteen
fine horses, the property of the relatives OF
the dead woman, were burned. 1t is the
custom Of the tribe to burn all the effects Of
the relatives of the dead at the time OF
death. In this instance large amount o,
property was consumed, az the Meadow
family for some years past had been un-
usually heal by, and consequently accu-
mulated considerable wealth. Besides the
fourteen horses mentioned several tons Of
mescal, large quantity Of Seeds con.
siderable sum in silver coin, and all the
provisions and clothing of the relatives of
the dead were consumed. Even the cloth,
ing they were wearing when they began
their marching around the funeral pyre

The report of United States Attor-
ney Bliss, detailed to investigate the
charges against Samuel J. Tilden as
TO his income returns, has been pub
lished. Mr.. Bliss writes the Commits
sioner Of Internal Revenue, under
date of Oct. %, that, having learned
that Mr.. Tilden In 1869 received $780,
600 from the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne
and Chicago Railroad Company, and
that this entry appeared on the books
OF the company, he requested reve-
nue. agent to examine the books. as
Mr.. Tilden in that year reported an
income OF only $1,000. He had proof
Of the substantial accuracy OF the
statement liz regard to the payment
OF the $4,000. Armed with this in
formation, Mr.. Bliss felt justified in
demanding access to the books. He
was met by peremptory refusal. He
was denied access to the books, and
the President and directors declined
to give any information on the subject.

In time Louisiana will have her de-

all the other States will follow. Pay
ment OF these claims will be demand
