From j. B. McCormick's New Orleans dis
patch to the Enquirerl
Ex-senator Trumbull did good work
to-day in discovering that on one of the
consolidated tally sheets votes were
recorded for all the Republican Electors
when the precinct tally sheets showed
that ballots were cast for only three OF
them. Kellogg and his crew are in a
deuce OF stew about the Electoral
omission matter, and claim that the in
tent OF the vote was indicated by the
heading of his ticket; that the omitted
Electors are entitled to the full Republic
can vote or the parish the same as
though their names had been printed on
the tickets. This is nice claim to SET
up in State where the names of Elec.
tors are scratched on tickets as II they
| were running for Ward Constables.
The Board will soon get down to its
real work on the contested parishes,a and
then its business will be done In secret
session. / think that it will not an
nounce its fguring until the 9th OF De-
cember, and that, in anticipation Of 1t,
the Hayes Electors will be quietly con.
vened in the city. and, as soon as they
are informed that the Board has de.
cared them elected, they will assemble
cast their vote for Hayes and Wheeler
and the trick is done. The Board meets
In nightly convention with the leading
spirits Of the Custom-hO Ouse clique, and il
duly posted and prepared by them FOL
the next days work.
| From New Orleans special to the Gazette
The Returning Board is progressing
with its work with good degree OF ra'
pidity. They have aboug concluded the
canvass OF the uncontested parishes
Probably they will ba able tomorrow &c
take up the parishes where there are
contests. When that is done this tbipl
will get interesting. The result OF thu
count so far has given Hayes ticket
majority Of 6.072 with which to go int
the contested districts. This, In CON
lnection with the throwing out of the tiY
bull-dozed parishes, can not but maxi
the State secure for Hayes and Wheeler
The Republican delegation here are con
tident of that result.
