CHICAGO. December 2I.-There is a row or some
depressing news 10 Republican circles. They are
no. busy talking or near as noisy about Hayes as
thas there is trouble In their ranks at Washington,
OF their senators and few representatives are
suspected OF honestly believing that Tilden Is elect

husged so closely 10 their bosoms and which tfreir
press published to the world with such fatterng
comments Is not panning out as well as they expect
ed the cohesive power Of posofices ETC., does not
seem strong enough 10 make the embrace OF the
Hayesites and the southern Democrats, much OF
brace after all. The liberal sort Of Republicans
laid much store by this move but your honest Grant
man damned it from the beginning, and as all the
press of this city mean the Republican. are look

Republican Opinion OF the Testimony
Before Mr.. Blackburn's Sub
Committee.

NEW ORLEANS, December 23.-The Republicans
say In reference 10 the testimony taken before the
sub committee of the house, Of which Mr. Blackburn
Is chairman that the testimony before the returning
board which the board acted, was from six differ-
ent witnesses nearly all OF whom were cr0sS-exan-
ined by Democratic counsel, and while these wit
nesses proved specific cases of Intimidation and vio-
lence, no witnesses have been produced before the
subcommittee to transverse these specified allega-
tons, nor have the parties charged with being guilty
been produced to deny the accusation and that the
Democratic testimony brought before the house COM
mittee thus far, consists In general Impeachment
Of the credbility of the witnesses and general
proof of quiet and peacedble election. The ques-
tion from Republican standpoint, now is whether
the evidence brought before the returning board and
not contradcted or impeached before the board was
sufficient to Justify them In their action In the prem
ises.
NEW ORLEANS, December 23.-The senate In
vestigatlng committee met at haf-past eleven this
morning. On the question of taking the testimony
OF Eliza Pinkston lcolcred, whethert be by depos-
tlon or By sub committee visiting her residence,

One house would say the votes ought 10 be
