WASHINGTON, Nov. 10, 1876.
1t is reported tonight that General Garfield, OF
Ohio, who arrived In Washington yesterday and Son.
ator Logan of Illinois, and Major Dity, OF Baltimore
have been appointed a committee to proceed to New
Orleans that, the republican sde there shall
be fair count OF tho electoral vote. In the course
of convorsaton tonight General Garfield said
that all that he thought and felt in regard to the
election and counting Of the votes could be summed
up in the expression that whoever had the greatest
number OF electoral votes honestly polled for him,
matter who 1t was, should be declared President II II
rden, .Good." II 1t was Hayes, then 'Good" also

GOVERNOR KELLoGG's REQUEST.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov 10, 1876
This morning President Grant received despatch
from Governor Kellogg Of Louisiana, requesting
that number OF prominent republicans and demo
Gratis, men Of national reputation, whose dcclara-
tions would be believed throughout the country,
should be invited come to Louisiana and see that
the vote was fairly and honestly counted.
REPUBLICANS APPOINTED
Acting upon this, the President asked, by telc-
gram, the following gentlemen to represent the re-
publican party in Louisiana portion OF this del
egation-GeneraG Garfield OF Ohio; General Logan, OF
Illinois; J. A Kasson, OF Iowa; John schonbcrg. of
Pennsylvania; Judge Kelley, OF Pennsylvania, ana
Colonel G J. Ditty, OF Baltimore, who was an ofcer
in the Confederate army, but who has been an en-
thusiastic republican for some years. These gen.
tlemen have already accepted and all OF them LEFT

THE ELECTORAL VOTE.

The nation still palpitates with excite
ment over last Tuesdays election, the result
of which cannot yet be announced. Three
States-F Florida, Louisiana and South Caro-
lina-still remain in doubt, either of which
would give Governor Tilden q majority in
the Electoral College. while the votes of all
three would be needed to elect Governor
Hayes This is the situation as impartially
viewed. Although this utter uncertainty
prevails, the leaders and partisan
journals on both sides claim all the doubtful
States by varying majorities on more or less
specious pretence. That the readers of the
HERALD may not alone see the ac-
tual condition of affairs, but also
how the parties view them, we
subjoin tables of Che electoral votes by
States as the democrats and republicans
profess to see them, in addition to our own
figures.
