ANYTHING TO SAVE TmDEN-THE LOUISIANA
RETURNING BOARD APPROACHED.
Special Despatch to the Neto York Times.
New ORLEANS, Nov. 19.-In the mean
time, the politicians who remain here are
beginning to talk great deal about COM
promise, and this morning number Of
them tried to make some kind of terms
with Mr.. Packard. Both he and Gov. Kel-
logg, however, positively refused to listen
to any plan of adjustment other than that
which can be based upon fair count of
the votes. The proposition to which re-
fer was not definitely made, still it was very
plainly intimated to Packard that he could
be Governor without trouble If he would
agree to have Tilden counted in by the Re
turning Board. The ex-Marshal replied that
he had no influence with the board that
it was composed Of honorable gentlemen
who would do their duty honestly and fair.
iy, and that even il he could control them
he would decline to do 80. / am informed,
upon the very best authority, that plans of
compromise similar to the above, were
made last night to at least one member of
the Returning Board. He Indignantly re-
fused to listed to them, and in the name OF
himself and his colleague protested against
any further attempts to influence the ac-
ton of the board. 1t is but justice to state
that Gen. Nichols, the Democratic candi
