ana IA Democrats have been chosen. Three Dis
trcts in New Hampshire yet to elect and two
Republicans and one Democrat are expected. Four
Districts ia doubt, in Louisiana. one in
Missouri. and two in South Carolina. Estimating
these doubtful Districts divided equally between
the two parties the House will stand Republicans,
l46 Democrats, l47. Among the Democrats is
Alex. H. Stephens who is lot expected to be able to
take his seat. This will leave the House tic in his
absence
NEW YoRK.-The Tribune's Washington special
says: Members OF the Cabinet continue to lie
assured that Hayes has n majority, by dispatches
from Trustworthy persons at Tallahassee but the
hopes Of most Republicans here have been steadily de-
Ginning for the past four five days, under the rau-
Of the long continued uncertainty. The length
Of time allowed the Florida Board of CanvasseTs to
examine the returns until recently believed to be
thirty. five days. Ii was thought there was no ex-
press provision in the Of the for ths Presi
Dental Electors, and that they would come under
the provisions of the Law respecting the State
officers; but old law has been discovered which
specifically limits the time to &c days.
New YORK. Nov. 2O.-The Worlds Washington

regular artillery in this city this evening SO
expected and at variance with the statements
made by the President, General Sherman. and Sec
rotary Cameron yesterday, in denial Of the report
that Washington is to be gaTrisOned, TO create
positive sensatien. The force comprises 234 men.
Captain LOder reported his arrival TO Gen. Sherman
at o'clock this evening. The gentlemen named
above seemed anxious to have a contradiction sent
far and wide Of the story that large force of troops
would be ordered here. the former remarking
that he why troops should be brought
here now. have it also on undoubted authority
that twelve batteries of heavy artillery, altogether,
have been ordered to report to Washington at
Three batteries their way from Fort LeaVen-
worth, and is expected here before morning. ard
others from Fortress Monroe and Fort McHenry.
All the journals express some socitude at the con-
centratiOn of troops at Washington. The Herald
says, editorially The newE publish to-day
etve to the concentration Of troops at Washington,
will doubtless excite some comment, bat it need not
occasion any alarm. The President and his advisers
claim that it is wise precaution to have respect
able body of troops hand until after the 18th of
March, Inauguration Day. They do not fear any
outbreak disturbance. but simply wish to provide
for all possible emergencies.

majority over the highest vote for Republican Of
9249- The other two 'Iflden Electors have ma
jOrity OF 1855. The discrepancy in the majorties is
caused by the omission Of the names of five Hayes
Electors from the Republican ticket in several
parishes.
NEW YORK, November 2Oth.-The Times New
Orleans despatch saws: Prominent Northern Demo-
Gratis who came to Louisiana are going home dis
hen M ed hey
HAYES has undoubtedly carried the State, aud many
Of them are unwilling to give any countenance TO
any attempt which may be made to deiraud the Re
publicans out OF the fruits OF their honest victory
In the meantime, politicians who remain here are
beginning to talk great deal about q compromise,
and this morning number Of them tried TO make
some kind of terms with Packard. Both he and
Governor Kellogg positively refused to listen to any
plan OF adjustment other than that which can be
based upon fair count OF the votes. The PROPOSE
ton to which refer was not definitely made; still
IL WIS very plainly intimated to Packard that he
could be Governor without trouble, if he would
agree TO have Tilden counted In by the Returning
Board. The eX-Marshal replied that he had no in
huence with the Board that it composed of
honorable men, who would do their duty honestly
aud fairly; and that, even il he could control them,
he would decline to do 50. am informed upon the
best authority that plans OF compromise similar TO
the above were made last night TO at least one
member of the Returning Board. He Indignantly
refused TO listen TO them, aud, in the name OF his
colleagues protested against any further attempts
justice TO state that Nichols the Democratic candi
date for Governor, is not party TO any of these
schemes. These were all concocted by friends of
Tiden, who willing TO sacrifice the claims of
all the State officers in order TO the triumph
OF the Great RefOrmer.
As for Louisiana. there is no doubt. There need be
no anxiety. Upon fair count, the State will give
Hayes a majority of least 5000. and fair count
will certainly be had. OF ffty-seven parishes in the
State, forty have been officially heard from. They
show Republican majority Of from 1000 to 5000.
There will be contests in regard to at least twelve,
aud perhaps twenty parishes; but they viii
come up until districts in which there is contest
have been disposed Of. This is in accordance with
the State Election Laws. The of the
tested parishes will finish in about three days, and
disputed will then be considered 1t is thought
they be gone through with in seven days, aud
that by the 18th Of December the official
ment Of the vote for President and Vice President.
