In most cases the returns opened by
the returning board correspond precise
ly with the certified copies of statements
of the commissioners Of ele "tion furnish
ed us. The most material difference
arose from the failure of the supervisors
of East Baton Rouge, Tangepahoa and
Orleans to forward the statements of
votes from all the voting places in their
respective parishes In thirty-tivc out
of the thirty-oight states in the Union,
these figures would be conclusive. No
one would claim that Tilden and Hen
dricks were not entitled TO the electoral
vote of the state. but in Louisiana a tribu-
nal has been set up which on former oc
caslons has overthrown the will OF the
people as expressed at the polls, and for
which the power is now claimed, in its
discretion, to change the result OF the
popular vote at the recent general clec-
ton. In view, however, of the returns,
and the law, and the facts, which should
control the returning board, with which
we have made ourselves familiar we
have no hesitation in saving that the re-
suit shown by the vote actually cast can
not be changed without the palpable
abuse of the letter and spirit of the law
governing the returning board, and Il
manifest perversion of the facts before
it. Irregularities have been committed
in some instances in officers conducting
elections and making returns, but they
are about as much on one side as the 9th
er As to intimidation, violence or 9TH
er illegal acts, preventing free and un-
fair elcc' ion, there is evidence on both
sides, bui not of such character as to af-
feet the general result. In most instan-
ces the acts of violence proceeded from
mere lawlcssness, as in the case of Hen
nv and Eliza Pinkston, and had no CON
ncction with politics. 1t is significant
fact that in the parishes where it is al
legged that voters were kept from the
polls by intimidation, the total vote of
such parishes was as large as at any time
heretofore, and the whole state is 1900
above any vote heretofore cast. An
honest and fair canvass of the returns,
even under the Louisiana law. cannot
materially reduce Tilden's majority as
shown on the iacc of the returns.

.ets' r'flc end two days rations d his
pack @ come to Idaho City, here to
remain until spring opened. He q.
pected to make the trip in two DAYS,
out terrible storms Of wind and snow
setting in he became lost and was FIVE
days and = half in getting here The
snow drifted fearfully and Mr.. Alexan.
Ger considers himself fortunate that he
ever got out alive His wanderinrs
were done somewhere about the head
81 Mere creek, and when the storm
lifted he found himself on one Of the
highest mountain ridges overlooking
the Basin. The first day out a large
snow-slide started with him ON the up-
per edge, but by quick work and good
fortune he escaped the moving mass
ana watched it laundering down the
mountain side, carrying with it large
trees as it went. The snow was Of
such 1eecy nature that travelling was
very slow and fatiguing, and every
step ne sank to his knees; and he
could not have got along at all had he
not taken the precaution to provide
hi.sse!f with wide raw-hide snowshoes
Running out Of grub he would have
suffered of hunger had he not shot two
grouse which his faithful dog scented
and discovered in the tree bouyhs
The dog was hungry, too, and fight
took place between him and his mas.
ter for an equal division of the birds.
One night he camped on ridge entire
ly bare of snow, the wind having
blown it all off; and it blew SO then
that he could only keep a fire by max
ing it against u large tree and then
holding the wood on with his hands.
he reached here in safety about two
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, hay.
ing gone the two preceding days
without food. Alexander is an old
mountain man and has seen rough
times in winter travelling; but he says
this last trip was the worst he ever
made. Snow over at Middle Boise
is about as deep as it is here, but on
the Intervening mountains it averages
eight feet in depth. He predicts an
early start in mining, and says the
water has already started in some of
the gulches. This arises from the
fact that the ground is water-soaked
and unfrozen, and the snow is meltingt
from the bottom. IN places he saw.
where acres of snow had sank several
inches from this cause. We did not
have time to write the full particulars
of Mr.. Alexander's perilous trip; but
it is enough to know that over five
days were consumed in coming the dis
lance that iE good weather could have
been made in one; and that he mar
rowly escaped losing his life.
