Investigating the Election.
New ORLEANS, Nov. 14.-About Is
negroes were brought to town to
make afidavits that there was fraud
and intimidation in the river parishes.
The Republicans will change their
original plan, and, instead of throw
ing out the entire parishes only re-
ject those polls where they are able
to prove fraud.
VIM. Orion has dismissed numer-
GUS telegraph operators of the w. U.
T. Co., in Florida because they have
persistently allowed Democrats to
read dispatches of Republicans.
Palmer on Grant.
LOUISVILLE, Nov. 11.-Ex-Gov.
Palmer in an interview with repor-
ter, gave as his opinion of the Presi-
dents directions the following. If
Grant were a statesman, he ought to
be impeached and deposed from his
place for issuing such orders; but as
it is Grant, nobody expresses much
surprise Grant has one leading idea
of the Government and that is that
he and the army are the only power
in this country, and that they are en-
tirely sufficient. He does not know
nor care for constitutional limits. To
be brief he is not responsible.
Lamar on the Situation in Louisiana.
Hon. L. @. G. Lamar, of Missis-
sippi, sent to Gen. Waltham at Gre
NADIA the following dispatch: Reports
of official returns signed by COM
missioners and supervisors show a
clear majority for Tilden of 7,775.
In several instances the Republican
officials refused to sign the returns
from q few Republican parishes.
No report of official count has been
received in three. The Republican
figures are adopted in the above esti-
mate. The Republicans claim the
returns from these parishes may be
revised, it is charged, aud put in
shape so as TO give the Republicans
a majority of 1900 or 1000. The
people of New Orleans, though pro-
foundly agitated, are quiet, and
there is not the slightest prospect
to disregard the peace proposition
to place the counting of the vote
under the supervision of honorable
men of both parties from a distance,
with the cordial concurrence of the
community. The sending of troops
here is regarded as a promise and
guarantee of support and imparti-
atty to the returning board in the
action it is expected to take. Wells
and Anderson, of the returning
board, are colored persons, one Of
them without eduation. They are
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 COM
mittee, of which w. A. Wheeler was
a member. After Sheridan expelled
certain members of the Louisiana
legislature, Wells was rewarded by
being made surveyor of the port of
New Orleans; and Anderson had o
member of his family appointed to
the Military Naval Academy. KEEL
logg and Packard are believed to be
concerned in the corrupt order of
Durren and the seizure of the Capt.
toll in 1872, and in the invasion of
the Capitol in 1874. Kellogg, Pack
ard, Wells and Anderson, as stated,
are condemned as infamous, and
nothing but mistrust and discredit
attaches to what they say or do, and
what they touch contaminates.
These men have been maintained in
q course of conduct contrary to the
Constitution and the laws, and dam
gerous to the liberties of the people.
