says: The official returns from nine counties
justify the unofficial returns made days ago.

tackled by one party or the other. Testi-
mony in each case will be v0luminous.

the Democrats claim that . count of the
votes actually cast will show Tilden to have
carried the State by about 5000 majority,
and Nichols by about 5000. The Repub-
licans do not deny that Q majority of tbs
votes actually polled are against them, but
they assert that under the law they will be
able to prove that several parishes were
carried by the Democrats by intimidation

these parishes arrive aud are rejected, as
they will be legally, HAYES and Packard
will be found to have carried the State.
