NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 1s.-Kellogg and his
tools have virtually given up the game.
They have discovered that the State has
gone for Tilden and the whole Democratic
State ticket by majority which, with all
the fraudulent mathematics they can man
ufacture, cannot be overcome without dan
ger to Themselves personally, anu inevitable
disgrace and ruin to their party. 1t is now
ascertained beyond dispute that the people
of this State have given Tilden clear ma
jority of the legal vote, and that no machi-
nations of the Return Beard, supported by
the army under Sheridan, can possibly falyi-
fly the figures without 3 local or national
protest which the corspirators dare not in
yoke much less personally confront. You
may feel quite sure that the result, however
delayed, will enroll Louisiana in the column
for Tilden, and that Florida will be counted
on the same side. The vote of the latter
State has only been held back in order to
make it turn for Hayes if that of Louisiana
should be pronounced for him. The Re-
turning Board met In secret session at II
O'Clock to-day, but will not, however, begin
to count the vote until Monday. It is
question whether they will admit the five
gentlemen of each political party invited to
be present and witness their labors. The
secret session to-day has significant mean
ing, but the Board dare not attempt to man.
ipulate the returns.
MORE TROOPS IN THE srATE-1NEL1aIBLB
REPUBLICAN ELECTORS.
New ORLEANS, Nov. 1S.-General Sheri-
dan has applied for more troops and pro-
poses to order them from his own depart
ment. Eight companies from General
Pope's command, headquarters at Leaven-
worth, are ordered to proceed at once to
Louisiana. In addition to tbe gunboats
lying in front of the city there are now
about five companies of infantry in New
Orleans, which, with the new reinforce.
meHts, will make nearly one thousand
soldiers in the city. There is not the
slightest prospect of any trouble in New
Orleans or elsewhere in these disputed
States.
A New Orleans despatch says: ''The
Democratic Committee have received several
hundred affidavits from negroes, and some
from Republican officials in Ouachita and
other "sulldozed" parishes, showing that
there wasa peaceable and iquiet election,
and also showing intimidation of negroes
who desired to vote the Democratic ticket,
but did not do so for fear Of violence from
Republicans of their own color"
The New Orleans "Evening Democrat
says that two of the Republican electors in
Louisiana held offices of profit and trust
under the United States at the time they
were voted for, and are therefore ineligible.
O. h. Brewster was United States Surveyor
General for Louisiana, and official docu-
ments signed by him during the canvass
are in existence. The day after the election
he sent on his resignation, and 1t is believed,
aute.dated 1t to remove bis ineligibility.
Judge A. N. Lavisse. another Republican
Elector, is, We are informed, United States
Commissioner, an Office Of profit and trust,
and he is, therefore, Ineligible.
