Statement Of Mr. Lamar.

New ORLEANS. November l3.--llon. l.. z
c. Lamar, Of Mississippi, has sent to General
Walhall, at Grenada, the following dispatch :
The reports OF the official returns, signed by the
commissioners and supervisors, show clear ma
i,rty for Tildeu of ,557. In several instances
the republican officials refused to sign the re-
turns. and from few Republican parishes no
report of the official count has been received.
In these estimates the Republican figures are
adopted. In the above estimate the Republic
cans claim tina. the returns from these parishes
may be revised. changed and put in shape so
rs b. give a majority of l 800 or 1000. The
people Of New Orleans, though profoundly
agi,ated, are quiet, and there is not the slight
est purpose to disturb the pnblic peace. The
proposition TO place the counting of the votes
under the supervision Of honorable men Of both
parties from a distance, meets the cordial con-
curence Of the entire community. The send
ing Of troops here Is regarded as a promise
and guarantee of support and impunity 20 the
Returning Board in the action it is expected 70
take. Wells aud Anderson are the principals
Of the Returning Board, two colored persons,
one Of them without education, being with
them. They are the same who acted in 1874,
and whose f-aululent returns occasioned the
invasion Of the Legislature by Gen. Sheridan,
and were set aside By the Congressional COM
uittee Of which William \. Wheeler was
member After Sheridan had expelled GER
tain members Of the Louisiana Legislature,
Wells was rewarded by being made surveyor
of the port Of New Orleans, and Anderson had
a member Of his family appointed to The mill
tary OF naval ademy. Kellogg and Packard
are universally believed 70 be concerned 10 the
corrupt and fraudulent, midnight order Of
Durell, and the seizure Of the Capitol in 1872.
aud also in the invasion ofthe Capitol in 1874.
Kellogg, Packard, Wells and Anderson stand
condemned as Infamous, and nothing but mis-
trust attaches to wha. they say or do, and
what they touch they contamiuate. These
men have been encouraged and maintained in
q course Of conduct contrary to the constitu-
ton and the laws and dangerous to the liber-
ties Of the people. The orders to the army to
concentrate 10 New Orleans is a step towards
the oyerturnins Of constitutional liberty and
the establishment Of a military despotism. II
this policy succeeds, no Presidential election
hereafter will be male cxccp, under the di-
rcctioa Of the army.

Lets and Hindranees.

" Let Us have peace" Let no guilty mau
escape, Let US have a fair count" are re-
corded as pitby utterances Of President Grant,
whilst they are the merest platitudes. How
little sincerity these expressions represent may
be arrived at by recurring to the fact that
Grant followed up his Let US have peace %
81 sending Sheridan with the bayonet to me-
eace a peaceful people, to stigmatize them as
" bandtti," and to sustain the usurping kel-
logg in the overthrow Of tie State government
Of louisiana. His Lot no guilty man es-
cape" was quickly succeeded by his putting
obstacles in the way Of effective prosecution Of
officials anl others engaged in unlawful aud
corrupt practices. and setting at liberty such
as were condemned, in spite Of him, and i'm
prisoned for iufractions Of the law And now
before the echoes Of his Let Us have fair
count have died away, he sends troops TO
strengthen the rascally iuclinations of radical
Returning Boards to ialSify the returns ! a
pi,iiul pretence Of a desire fora Fair Count p
Grant, indeed, deserves the excavations Of de-
cent people

A Remarkable Coincidence.

In 1858 four gentlemen entered their sons
at boarding school at Cokesburg, in South
Carolina They had been for years intimate
friends, and were clcrgymen in the Method ist
church. These boys remained at this school
as DOMINATES and classmates for two years,
and entered Wollord College, standing relative
~ first second, third and fourth They re-
NAMED at this institution four years, and were
room-ma,es all the time, graduating relatively
first, second, third and fourth in large class.
They entered the law Office at Spartansburg
and studied law under the same chabcellor.-
The war broke out and at the call for troops,
they entered Jenkins rife regiment from
South Carolina, and were mess-inates in the
same company. Being near the same height,
they stood together as comrades Of battle 10
this regiment.
At the second battle Of Manassas, August,
1863, a shell from tie enemY's battery fell in
the ranks of this company, and killed these
four boys, land no others in the company y
They are buried on the battlefield and sleep
together in the same grave Their names are
Capers, McSwain, Smith and Duncan, and the
sons Of Bishop Capers, Rev. DR.. McSwain
Rev. DR.. Whiteford Smith and Rev. Dr. Dun
can, Of Virginia, and the last brother Of Rev
DR.. Duncan, Of Randolp Macon College. The
grave is marked 10y granite cross enclosed
with an iron railing.

An Address from Gen. Hampton.

Gen. Wade Hampton on Saturday last is
sued the following address to the people oil
South Carolina:
In offering to our people my heartfelt con-
gratulatious and gratitude for the grand VIC
tory they have won, venture to beg them to
prove themselves worthy of it by continued
observance of good order and the rigid pre-
servaton of peace Let us show that we
seek only the restoration of good government,
the return of prosperity and the establishment
of harmony to the whole people OF our State.
In the hour OF victory we should be masnanl-
nous. and We should strive to forget the ami
mosities of the contest by recalling the grand
results of our success prescribing none for
differences of opinion regarding none as our
enemies save such as are inimical to law and
order. Let us all unite in the patriotic work
of releeming the State. BY such conduct we
can not only bring about good feeling among
all classes, but can most surely reap the best
fruits Of Victory.
