THE SITUATION IN LOUISIANA.

Of the Votes Cast for Tiidcn.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4.-Thc Times cor
respondent accom- panyinR the eminent Pennsyl-
vaninns who visit New orleans to watch Kei-
loR0s Returning Board teleQraphs tonight that
careful Investigation has brought him to the
following conclusion with reference to the sltu-
alton In Louisiana:
Flrst-That the State has been carried by the
Democrats 10y a majority Of not less than 1000
for Tilden and 5000 for Nichols over Packard.
Sccond-That these majOrites would have
been twice IA great but for the arbitrary acts OF
election officers in Orleans and other parishes,
by which the names OF many thousands OF
conservatives were stricken from tho lists OF
qualified voters.
1bird-That, in many cases, Republican
officers OF election purposelv committed irregu-
larities as basis for a claim that certain polls
or whole parishes should be thrown out by tho
Returning Board In order to carry the state for
Fourth hat In some parishes white people
used question bile and, In some cases, clearly
Improper and illegal methods to keep colored
voters away from the polls, or make them vote
the DEMOCRATIC ticket. | hear q no we'll an-
but hnd that negroes were In several parishes
bribed to vote for llden nd Nichols. There is
reason To believe, but 1t IL not proved. that In a
few other cases threats OF discharge from em-
poyment secured their votes.
ftfth-Ihc election WAS the most peaceable
that over took place In Louisiana.
siAth-There IL no apparent reason for the
presence OF the military In this city. IL ia less
excited than either PHILADELPHIA New York, or
Cincinnati. There are sixteen com panies hero,
and armed men throno the streets, and the
Custom House is garrisoned and fortified as IL
In expcctation of a siege.
Seventh-rhe Returning Board will claim and
exercise the rignt u do with the returus ac-
cOrding to their own will, regarding the per-
petuution OF the Republican Administration as
an end to be kept In view. with this idea they
will throw out Just many parishes "a may be
necessary, unless the people OF the North mani-
Test IN most positive manner that such per-
version OF the ballot box snall not be tolerated.

1870 that called attention to the change VI plans
OF the Hempstead Reservoir. without the kno WI

that the dam be finished outside Of the S5OO.0DO

spring to test its holding capacity.
X. NJ. whiting, who was "A Commissioner OF
