NEW ORLEANS, November l4-The I'M
dercurrent of excitement intensifes every
hour, and donot think the people of New Or
leans will be equal to the strain Of as many
more days as the Radical managers have de-
signed for them. Public feeling is at white
heat, though for the time smothered under a
desire for
FAIR AND PEACEFUL SOLUTION
Of the election problem. The curses are not
loud, but deep. Listening to the array Of
Louisiana's wrongs, borne so patiently and
for so many years, there is no room to wonder
at it; any one of the northern States would
have been drenched in blood with half the
provocation furnished by Kellogg during his
career as governor, not to speak of the provo
cation fuElished by the present scheme to count
the State, and deliver it over for four more
years to Raicalisn This has been definitely
determined upon. The refusal of Butler to
come here, on the plea of interference in
State affairs, will, it is rumored, furnish
THE CUE
for the northern Republicans here, who, it is
expected, viii answer the letter sent them by
the northern Democrats to-day IN that veil
thus leaving the returning board to make
what report they choose, the same TO be ac-
cepted and acted upon by congress as conclu-
sive Of the questions at issue. Coming as it
will, as they will assert, from the justly con-
stituted authorities of Louisiana, this report
will give the State to Packard and the cleo
toral vote to Hayes and Wheeler, for as
Packard and Kellogg are credited with say
ing, enough Democratic votes will be
counted out to make that the only thing to
be done. To accomplish this with Il seeming
of fairness, the board has procured over five
thousand affidavits to be filed up, each one
bearing the cross-Inark of an Intelligent ne
gro, and each in support of voluminOus testi-
mOny setting forth specific cases of
ASSERTED rNTIMrDATION
or fraud. hearing and decision in these
cases will consume all the time until the day
named for the meeting of sase electors, when
the result, now awaited with such impatience,
will be announced. You will see from this
that even if the returning board consented to
the presence Of the northern Republicans and
Democrats, they have prepared cazse for delay
that would try the patience of Job. Support
ing this plan, and. the intention SO deliver
the State to Hayes and Packard, ] learn that
Stanley Matthews, Hayes's brotlHer-m-law,

that be has assurances from leading Republi-
cans here that they were in possession Of suffi-
cient facts to procure the State for him, and
a well-known Republican of this city asserts
that i'll his opinion the returning board Will
go just as far in their action az the govern
ment at Washington will indorse or support.
In other words, as told you yesterday
THE CoNsPIRAToRs AT WASHINGTON

the plea Of Furnishing rebels, that they will
permit this to pass, fear, without more than
perhaps an angry debate in congress. There
is no blood on the face of the moon. The
Times to-day interviewed Senator Lamar as
to the situation, but he was very properly
