was put down at nmety-seyen hundred ma

c. Lamar of Mississippi, sent to General
'Walthall, at Grenada, the following dispatch
Reports Of official returns, signed by COM
mssioners and s1perTfstf's: show a clear ma
jority for Tlden of 1851. In several in
stances the Republican officials refused to
sign the election returns, and from
few Republican parishes no
report of the official count has
been received. In these the Republican fig
ures are adopted in the above estimate The
Republicans claim that the returns from these
parishes may be revised. changed and put in
shape so ~ to give Republican majority of
about 1900 or 1000. The people of
New Orleans; though profoundly agi-
tated, are quiet, and there is not the
slightest purpose TO disturb the public

of the vote under the supervision of honor
able men of both parties from distance
meets the cordial concurrence of the entire
community. The sending of troops here is
regarded as a promise and guarantee Of sup
port and impunity to the returning board in
the action it is expected to take. Wells and
Anderson are the principals of the returning
board-twO cOlOred persons, one of them with
ont education, being with them. They are the
same persons who acted in 1874, and whose
fraudulent returns OccasiOned the invasion of
the Legislature by General Sheridan, and
were set aside by the. congressional commit
tee, of which VIM, a. Wheeler was mem
Der. after Sheridan had expelled certain
members Of the legislature. Wells was re-
warded by being made surveyor of the port of
New Orleans and Anderson had a
member Of his family appointed to the mil
ItaTy or naval academy. Kellogg and Packard
are universally believed to be concerned in
the corrupt and fraudulent midnight order of
! Durell, and the seizure of the capitol III 1872,
! and also in the invasion of the capitol in
1874. Kellogg. Packard, Wells and Anderson
stand condemned as infamous, and nothing
but mistrust and discredit attaches to what
they say or do. and what they tnnch, they
cOntamlnate. These men have been encOur-
aged and maintained IN course of conduct
contrary to the constitution and the laws. and
dangerous to the liberties of the people.
The order to the army to concentrate in New
Orleans Is step toward the overtum of con-
stitutiOnal liberty and the establishment of
military despotism. If this policy succeeds
no Presidential election VIII hereafter be
made except under the direction of the
army.

NEW ORLEANS, November 1l.-So many
Of the parishes of this State are so maccessi-
bic, and the authentic statements of the re-
suits received up to the present time are so
few, and the unofficial accounts received vary
so widely, that it Is impossible to give to-
night accurate statement or even an approx
mately accurate estimate as requested bv YOU.
