NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 1.-There was
mistake in the figures last night. Upon
the face OF the returns the highest Til
den E ctor has $3.50; the lowest Til
den Elector, 83,5 The highest Hayes
Blector, II, 1872; the lowest Hayes Elect
or, IA SS4. All the Tilden Electors run
pretty nearly together, but there is great
variation in the Hayes Electors, only
TWO of them going above II 900; the next
two stand "A SS9 and "a SS4. The remain
| Ing four go a lew hundred above 70, 900
This was owing to the 4 ectors' names
being left off of the tickets by mistake.
| What the BOard will do in these cases
Is not yet determined, but it is doubtful
II they Will at empt to count votes not
cast. The highest rilden e ectOr over
the highest Hayes Elector is 6,72S; over
| the lowest Hayes Eleotor, S,906.
These majorities represent about
what the Democrats gained by rev0lu-
| Tlonizing five parishes. o. a fair cleo
ton they would not have carried the
State on the face Of the returns, or oth-
erwlse.
Benjamin Morgan, Coroner of East
bu!l-doz9rs killed eleven men in that
parish from January to September, upon
which he had held inquests. Accompa-
nylng his afiQavits are copies of all
tnese inquests. In September he was
ordered to stop holding inQuests in the
following order from the Captain Of the
BuIl-dozers:
"AIr Ben. Morgan, Coroner:
"YoA lsiU please bear In mlnd that your
absence is required iB the country. and /
inform yOH hUt If y0u are cQNyht there dRy
more your JGte ShaU be as those yOu come
10 h0td y0Nr llQueSts o0er,
~ ours, truly,
captain or REGULATORS"
Thus warned, he ceased holding in
quests. Since that time there have been
eiE0t more murders, making nineteen in
all tlat are authenticated.
From n o. Special to Euquirer1
Wells modification OF his order re-
garding the East Baton Rouge polls vas
forced by the lear that Cassanave and
kenner wouldn't coincide with him and
Anderson when they compiled the vote
OF the State in secret. They, with Kel-
Iogg and Packard, were alarmed, too, at
the information that Kenner and Cas-.
sanaVe mad concluded to dissent from
,heIf pre-aTranged programme to count
tie Stale for Hayes and Packard, and
now their opinion is cOurted in the ses-
slons OF the Board instead of being
snubbed and ignored, as they have
been heretofore. Lewis, prominent
republican negro aud Pinch
backs supporter, told Judge Trunbull
GG-day, IN my presence, that CassanaYe
and henner hau made up their minds to
act tor themselYes, and The decision
which ihpy would make TO place them
selves oE the record as working for the
interests OF their race, and tnat their
votes on the final count would be ac-
coLnpanieF by full explanations from
them. Kellogg thinks there is danger
ahead for him ana he is bringing every
possible Influence to bear upon X nner
ana CassanaVe, with but poor success
however, and the next plan reSorteu to
by him viii be intimidation.
