WEIGHT OF THE DIsTICr CouRT.-While it
is well known that the Judges CT our District
Court are very far from being light weights in
tellectually, it may interest some of our readers
to know that they are also able to hold their
own in physical point of view. The follow
ing is given as the number of pounds avoir-
dupois the bench has had to sustain this week
compared with 1874:

1t is encouraging to know that the Court is
getting to be heavier body with the lapse of
time. Judge Chambers has not kept up with
the others, which is doubtless owing to the
fact that he persists in remaining an old
bachelor or-Steu5enuille Herald.

would be practicable to pay on the lst of July
thereafter the per cent. interest due on the
lst of July. 1874. The members were all pres
ent, and gave to the subject careful conslde-
ration. The conclusion at which the board ar
rived was to direct payment Of the interest re-
ferred to, with the understanding that If it be-
came necessary to resort to temporary loan
to supply the wants of the treasury. 1t would
be made BY the Governor, in pursuance OF the
authority given him by the 33d section OF the
42l chapter Of the Code Of Virginia.
\ 'The board at the time it ordered
the payment of interest confidently anticipated,
and had good reasons to anticipate, that the
December revenues would be enough to cover
that payment, and at the same time meet the
ordinary expenses Of government. That ant!cl-
patton, however, was disappointed by operation
of the act of the General Assembly, approved
March 90, 1875, which postponed the hnal set,
Elements of the treasurers at this othce until
the 18th of June thereafter, aud thus unex
peotedly kept from the treasurya large portion
of the revenue which would otherwise nave
been received. The amount OF interest paid
10 pursuance Of the order OF the board was
$I96.8l4 S8 and no more, and 10 this sum Is
Included considerable amount OF interest ID
arrears, the payment of which was provided Tor
under former orders OF the board. BESIDES
this amount, however, there was turned over
by me to the Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund the sum of $l27, 324 the amount of in
terest due on the registered debt of the State,
standing in the name of the commissioners
which was invested in bonds as directed by the
act reorgauiziur the sinking fund, To this
transaction | refer in my last annual report.
. ''The payment of the 2 per OF. interest as
aforesaid necessitated the transfer OF the sl27',
324 to the sinking fund, as the act required
this to be done before any payment Of interest
could be made on other accounts. This pay
meut to the sinking fund was made within the
last fiscal year, aud so reported BY me. The The
as called for, until about the first of February
last, when the order of June 23d was resoiDded,
since which time no further interest has been
paid. To concluding this paper desire to say
that in all my official conduct, l have had
eoual regard to the general interests of the
State, doing justice to all as far as | knew how
and wrong to none.

NEw-ORIFANs, Nov. l6-GOv. Wells, III answer
TO an induiry to-day whether or not reporters and
spectators would be admitted to the meetings of the
Returning Board, said il was his wish-and he cvi-
IDENTITY expressed the sentiment Of all the members
that the board should sit with closed doors during
the canvassing and compiling Of the returns, except
when information was wanted concerning part!c-
Mar matter connected with the election, or when
some point was to be argued before the board.
He said that neither the Governor nor any
State officer if his wish was regarded, would
have free access to the room during the sessions OF
the board If the board wanted legal advice they
would call on the Attorney General but at no other
time would that officer be admitted. Both Mr. Wells
and Mr. Anderson said that the Board was an en-
tirelv independent body and would not be controlled
in its action in any way either by the Executive or
by other persons.
LATER-Thc state Democratic Committee have
made an application for representation on the Re
turning Board but no action the subject has been
taken. They have also requested that sub-con-
nittee shall be allowed to attend the sitting of the
board In reply TO this Gov. Wells has stated that
in all cases of contested polls from any cause, they
shall be notified and that the board will hear the
argument of both sides. The action of the board in
adionrning until Saturday noon gives rise 10 specu-
aton on tie cause of DELAY. Every one seems to be
waiting for definite news from South Carolina and
Florida. The weather is rainy and cool. The city

parishes to the Republicans Besides this there VIII
be complaints of intimidation in certain precincts OF
other parishes not named, and the throwing out OF
particular boxes may reduce the Democratic OF III
crease the Republican majOrities in them.
From this explanation, il will be seen how diihcuit
il is to forecast from the returns received, what the
result of the count will be. The Republicans are
fully confident that the Returning Board VIII de-
clare the vote of Louisiana to have been cast Tor
HAYES and Packard; and the Democrats seem
almost unanimously to have arrived at the same
conclusion. The latter at the same time assert t'
this result can only be brought about by unia'r
means and unless the evidence of violence ana III
tmidation which is produced is of more convihe-
ing character than they expect they do not
TO accent the decision of the Returning Board a.
final In other words they do not intend to alIo"
the vote of Louisiana to be- counted for Hayes on the
second Wednesday of next February, unless the
case made up here is so plainly against them AZ 70
make all assault upon il hopeless
When the truth about the Louisiana elect'oh
comes to be known, if it is ever fully revealed u
will be found that the question is not when parry
is in the right but which has been less to blame
Politics and politicians in this State have become no
better and probably no worse, than they were III
1872 and 1874. | believe both parties have re-
sorted to expedents this year rs they have on loI''
occasions. which cannot be defended aud, as nave
said. when the Louisiana case is made up for the
American people TO pass their Judgment upoh' lhe
question will be, not which party Is right but "hich
has been the less in the wrong Z. l. W.
