Kellogg and Packard interviewed

a staff correspondent of the
Philadelphia, Tines, who is now in
New Organs interviewed Gov.
Kellogg and ex Marshal Packard Oh
Tuesday. In this interview, as in the
interview with The Suns corres-
pondent, Gov Kellogg claimed that
the Legislature. was undoubtedly
republican, and its power under the
constitution being extraordinary, it
would pvt out Nicolls and install
Packard as Governor, whatever might
be the popular vote. If Nieolls were
installed it would only ba necessary
for the House to suspend, him and put
Packard in his place by resolution
I'm fat" said he, "M NJ, cannot
!preqe'u Packard from being aooesmor."
Kellogg seemed in high spirits, and
his remarks. we're interspersed with
good deal Of Joyous profanity
A conversation with ex>Marshall
Packard, the republican candidate for
Governor, was of similar tenor. He
had 90 figures to give, but was
confident that the vote of the State
would be counted for himself and
Hayes. lie solelnnly remarked that

majority, but his faith in the returning
board j. unbouhded, and he will try
to bear their verdict with CHRISTIAN
resignation, be it what it may.
THE REPUBLICANS IN NEED OF VOTES.
The Times correspondent also says:
IAN army officer Informs me that
United States Marshall Pitkin admitted
to-day that the ballots as cast give
Tilden good round majority. Another
republican official says that they can
reduce the democratic majority to
1900 by throwing out five parishes,
but that "lhe devil Of 1t is to get rid
Of that 1900 on any plausible
pretext." Gen Anger says that the
election in New Orleans was as quiet
as was ever seen in a New England
village. He seems to have heard
little intimidation by violence of
which Gov. Kellogg, complains.
TIE SITUATION IN FLORIDA.
A dispatch from Tallahassee, Florida,
to the New York Herald, dated Tues
day night, says:
| :sTne official returns of nine counties
/ came in to. day, and justify, with
hardly change, the unofficial returns
made days ago. The estimates were
badly at fault in only two counties, in
both of which the democrats gained
largely. Orange and Volusia were
estimated by the republicans to give
respectfully, $50 and 125 democratic
majority. The democrats expected
$50 ana 200, and the official returns
give 743 and SIG. 1t is now consid-
cred to be settled that the full official
returns Of the county eanvassing
boards will give the State to Drew
by more than 900 and to Tilden by
more than 700 majority. The county
boards have, with hardly all exception.
canysssed the vote aud referred all
matters of contest to the State board.
The republicans are indignant at this
evasiye action Of these county boards,
which puts the majority into the
! hands Of the democrats. and makes
the republicans the opsting party
Said one Of them TO your CORES
spondent: "rhey have gone back on
us they should have met the issues
presented to them like men. instead
of shifting them to the State board"
The contest before the State board
will be prolonged and bitter, and will
inyolye the result on the State and
national tickets. Not less than one
! dozen counties will be attacked by one
| side or the other The testimony on
each side is voluminous. Arrangements
are being made TO, hurry up returns
from distant counties and commence
the State canvass at tbe earsies:
possible hour.
Mr.. Drew, the democratic candidate
for GoYernog Of Florida, telegraphed
to the democratic national committee
at New York, at S o'clock or Tuesday
night, that nearly complete returns
give Tildeg l,lSS majority in Florida.
GOV. rILDEN ON THE SITUATION.
A New York correspondent say'
Gov. Tildep is said 20 have beer
Intercepted on Tuesday with refer
ence to a New Orleans dispatch in
one Of the morning papers to the
effect that Congressman Watterson
had proposed that he (Tilden) and
Gov. Hayes should each select five
men, Of the character Of Evarts end
| Adams, to supervise the COUNT of the
returning board, agreeing to be ruled
by the DECISION OF the committee
Mr.. Tildep is understood to haYe re-
piled that he has no faith IN any suqi
DEVICES, and as much as lntimates
that EXISTING complications will onl,
be aggravated by additional outside
meddlins. There il out one decision
that can be abidel by, and that is the
win Of the people, as expressed at the
ballot~box, and he will be party to nc
arrangement that LOOKS llkss barga IL
ing that way.
BLAINE FOE PRESIDENT og THE SENATE
A Washington dispatch to the
New York Tribune says:
Influential republicans here talk Of
the election of Mr. Blaine to the
! presidency of the Senate as an event
likely to ensue Immediately after the
Resembling Of Congress. If such
action should be taken it would, OF
course, be to provide for possible
contingency which might leave a
vacancy il the offices OF both Press
ident and Vipe-P President Of the
United States after ths 4th Of March,
and deyolve the power of the executiYe
upon the presiding officer of the
