LOUISIANA.
New ORLEANS, La. Nov 23.
There is much excitement on the
streets to day over the coup d etat of the
board, and though the course Of the
board is severely condemned there is
nothing to indicate disturbance.
In conversation with leading Republi.
cans this morning l find them higher
elated, and some of them d1n't hesitate
to say that the same cours or one simi-
lar, will be resorted to, first in Florida
and next here. This is settled fact,
and they don't deny it.
KELLo1G's TRICK.
1t is settled now beyond doubt tha,
the Radical leaders here have informa.
tion that public opinion in the North is
SO strongly against arbitrary rulings OF
their star chamber returning board that
they will pursue more moderate course
but yet eudeavor to conceal their frauds
rs lar as possible.
Their information came, it is said, in
the shape OF kilograms from both Grant
and Zhch. Chandler, who are themselves
alarmed at the tide Of public feeling, and
hence the caution given 70 Radical Off
cials here. John Sherman of Ohio has
in all their counsels protested against
their fraudulent measures, and it is
thought that his is the influence which
has brought these telegraphic cautionary
regrets from Washington that, coupled
with the reported move made by the
Rothschilds, may have occasioned the
commotion which exists in Republican
circles tonight.
THE RorascHILDs.
A telegram from New York onigh,
says the Rothschilds have notified thi.
government OF their rejection OF the las,
loan taken by them, and that they would
not expect the January instalment 81
the bonds would be returned. Evident
ly the Republican leaders have heard Of
this and have instructed officials here as
they are terribly gloomy to night.

GEN. HAMPTON
Tonight said the action Of the boarc
had done the state Democracy no harm
and would advance the cause of Justice
and truth in the country at large. II.
