General Joseph R. Anderson, president
of the Common Cou neil, has returned to the
city from recent visit to New York. While
there he had the opportunity Of seeing and
conversing with number of prominent
citizens, all OF whom were bright and cheer
full, and totally unwilling to believe that the
country could be visited by such q dire ca

from his father-in-law, Governor Swami,
announcing that Oregon had gone Demo-
cratic. In addition to this statement, q
report was current yesterday afternoon to

ington, had received private telegram
also representing Oregon to have gwen
a Democratic. majority. There was q
rumor, too, that the Democratic Gov
ernor OF California had declined to GER
tify the returns for Republican electors
in that State upon what he conceived to be
good grounds. Unfortunately, these were

telegram from our Washington cores

can be traced to reliable authority here,

positive and bitter in. their denunciation OF

| WASHINGTON, November 15.-The New
York TimeS'S New Orleans special says
"The Democrats claim that a count Of the
votes actually cast will show that Tilden
| has carried the State by about 5000 majori-
ty, and Nichols by about 5000. The Re
publicans, believe, do not deny that ma
iority OF the votes actually polled are against
them. but they assert that under the law
they will be able to prove that several par
ishes were carried by the Democrats by in
timidation and violence, and that when the
votes from these parishes are rejected, as
they will be legally, Hayes and Packard
will be found to have caSied the State"
