HOW HAYES G0TSUCH4 BIG WA.
JORI1Y IN LOUISIANA. -rr.

Everybody expected that Hayes would
carry the Louisiana Returning Board,
but considerable surprise has been ex-
pressed that he.swept the state-beg par.
don-the board, by such a large MAORI
ty. Inasmuch as a few hundred major
ity would haye.given him the electoral
votes, 1T was certainly rather singular
that the board shouldl go beyond the
"bull-dozed" parishes, where their re
vising" of the ballots had wiped out Til
denis majority in the State, to make quite
as extraordinary changes in other par
ishes, and rum sHayes's majority up to
about five Thousand. Some Republican
papers baue even affected to find in this
very fact proof of the boards honesty
and impartiality, arguing that only con-
scientious obedience to the law could
have induced them to throw out Demo-
cratic votes to such an unnecessary ex.
tent.

a STATEMENT FROM GOV GROVER

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec, 24.-Gov. Grover
of Oregon, arrived here b, steamer this
evening He was waited upon by large
number of prominent Democrats and re-
presentatives ofthe press. Gov. Grover
stated that the report of the Republican
electors, to the effect that they did not
refuse to act with Cronin, was not correct
that they did so refuse, and compelled
Cronin to adopt the course he had follow
ed in organizing his board of electors.
He denied the report that he had his
house under guard through fear of vio-
lenCe, but said that the Republicans
threatened to burn him in efigy in front
ofhis own residence and his friends gath
cred there to prevent any such proceed
ing. NlYF ~
He denied with much apparent indig-
nation the statement that his action was
in obedience to instructions from the
East or that his published statement
that had been sent out to him for his
signature, as removed, claiming that his
action was in conformity with his views
after careful consideration of the law in
the case, and that his statement was en-
tlrely his own creation; but he admitted,
that pending decision of the matter he
was in frequent receipt ofadvice of par
ties in the East.
Gov. Irwin, who was present volun-
teered the statement that no thinking
Democrat claimed that it Was settled
thing that the issuance of certificate to
Cronin settled the election of Tilden, but
that it would compel Congress to 90 be.
hind the face of returns, which was the
object of Gov. Grover, as good Demo-
rat, sought to attain by his action on a
egal technicality. This view of the
natter was corroborated by Judge hagar
md other promint mt Democrats present.
Tomorrow evening Gov. Grover will
lave public reception rendered by De-
nocrats.

THE FLORIDA COUNT.

General Francis c. Barlow, promi-
nent Republican and late Attorney Gen.
eral ofNew York, was one of the gentle
men selected by President Grant to wit
ness the canvass of the vote of Florida
for Presidential electors. He has recent
ly made report of what he Witnessed,
giving his view of the correct canvass
of the vote which differs very materially
from that promulgated by the conspira-
tors Returning Board In General
Barlow's canvass deducts from the Re-
turning Board statement nearly one
thousand votes 949] given to Hayes,
thereby reducing his Fraudulency's total
to that extent, This would wipe out
Hayes's manufactured majority entirely
and give the State to Tilden; but General
Barlow is doubtful about one or two De-
mocratic precincts, and SO expresses no
opinion as to how the State really voted.
This extract is from the conclusion of bis
statement.

Was 1t a "Square Deal.O

A curious story comes from Paris. It
is not SO very long since young man,
well dressed and apparently rich, entered
a clandestine gaming house. He was
playing at treaate-et-Q UGra1ate, and had
already won little pile of gold. "Red
WINS" presently said the banker, and
proceeded to hand over hundred
napoleons to the unknown one, for the
stakes were high. But the stranger
made no attempt to take the gold, and
returned no answer to the three or four
questions put to him in reference to the
game. His eyes remained fixed on the
red, while his features assumed a CHASTITY
paleness. A player touched his arm
he was dead. Then the banker coldly
withdrew the 100 napoleons, observing
that play was In the nature of recipro-
Cal contract, which could only be entered
into between parties both of whom were
capable of contracting, and therefore
never between a live man and a dead
one. The cause of death was heart dis
ease, and the official report was soon
drawn up in proper form. It contained,
as may be imagined, no sort of reference
to a gaming house. Pail hall Gazette.

Terrible Fight Between Polar Bears.

The Cologne Gazette contained an &C
count of a combat which took place In
the Geological Gardens of that city be-
tween two Polar, bears, which, that jour
nal remarks, ga Roman Emperor
would assuredly have paid million ses-
tertii to witness These two bears
had been brough tfrom Spitzbergen five
years ago, and had been placed in 8
large pit, with tank in the center.
Until within the past few days they
had remained upon excellent terms with
each other, but last week a quarrel oc
Cured between them, the result of
which was that the female bear took
refuge upon the summit of o large rock
in one corner of the pit. The male did
not attempt to follow her, and she re-
NAMED there three days, when, pressed
by hunger, she descended again. AS
soon as the male bear saw her he imnae-
diately rushed at her and attacked her
with his fore paws. The keeper at
tempted to separate them, and belabored
the male with heavy iron bars, but the
bones in the head of the polar bear are
SO much harder than those of the ordi-
nary bear that these blows took no eff
feet. The male bear continued to wreak
his vengeance upon his companion,
and, after having almost torn her body
into ribbons, he dragged her to the bot
tom of the tank and held Ler until he felt
assured that all signs of life we're ex-
tinct. He then brought her body back
to the floor of the pit and dragged it
round the tank for nearly an hour. Al
ter this he Withdrew into his sleeping
den to rest from his labors, and the
keepers at once closed the iron bars
upon him.
Having examined the body of the
dead bear, they found that it had re-
ceived more than hundred wounds !;
the neck and head were crushed almost
to jelly, and the flesh was hanging in
strips from the back and sides. During
the whole combat neither of the bears
uttered cry or sound of any kind but,
except in this particular, it must have
borne singular resemblance to what
may sometimes be seen ia Lancashire
without paying a million sesterii.-P

about these annexations is that they

has added to the Russian Empire a ter

Nor does it appear probable that Russia
will be disturbed in these acquisitions !;
for, although the relations between her
and England shave been threatening,
there is no likelihood of war, without
which Russia cannot be ousted. It is
apparent that the menace toward Turkey
has operated as counter-irritant against
the British policy in Affghanistan. And
while all eyes are turned toward the
Danube, Russia fortifes herself in all
the strongholds of Turkestan, and opens
permanent lines of communication there
