Statement OF Mr.. Lamar.
New ORLEANS, November l3.-Hon
L.Q. &. Lamar, of Mississippi, has sent
10 General Walthall, al Grenada, the
following dispatch: The reports of the
official returns, signed ty the commis-
sioners and supervisors. sno6 clear ma
iority for Tilden OF 1857. In several
instances the Republican officials refused
to sign the returns, and from few Re
publican parishes no report OF the official
count has been received In these
estimates the Republican figures
are adopted. In the above estimate
the Republicans claim that the returns
from these parishes may be revised,
changed and put in shape so as to
give a majority of 1900 or 1000. The
people in New Orleans, though pro-
toundly agitsted, are quiet, and there is
not the slightest purpose TO disturb the
public peace. TIE proposition to place
the counting OF the votes under the
supervision OF honorable men OF both
parties from distance, meets the
cordial concurrence of the entire
community The sending of troops here
is regarded as a promise and guarantee
of support and Impunity to the Return
ing Board in the sction 1t Is expected to
In take. Wells and Anderson are the
principals of the Returning Board, two
colored persons, one Of them without
education, being with them. They are
the same who acted in 1874, and whose
fraudulent returns occasIoned the lnva.
sion of the Legislature by Gen. Sheridan,
and were set aside by the Congressional
committee Of which Thomas A. Wheeler
Sasa member. After Sheridan mad ex-
pelled certain members OF the Louisiana
Legislature, Wells WAS rewarded by being
made surveyor of the port Of New
Or. cans, and Anderson had a member
Of his family appointed to the
military or naval academy. Kel-
logg and Packard are universally
believed to be concerned in the corrupt
and fraudulent midnight order of DurelI,
and the seizure of the Capitol in 1872,
and also in the invasion of the
Capitol IN 1874. Kellogg, Packard,
Wells and Anderson stand condemned
as infamous, and nothing but misirust
attaches TO what they say or do, and
what they touch they COntAmnate. These
men have been encouraged and main
tsined in course Of COnduc! contrary 10
the constitution and the laws and danger
Gus 10 the liberties Of the people. The
orders 70 the army 10 concentrate IN
New Orleans is step towards the over
turn of constitutiors al liberty and the es-
tablishment Of q military despotism. II
this policy succeeds, no PRESIDENTIAL
election hereafter will be made except
under the direction Of the army.
