questions that have been raised

The situation im New Orleans.
New YORK, Nov. Is.
A Tribune New Orleans special OF
the 18th SAYS: This has been the great
est day in New Orleans since the cleo
ton. On reception of the answer of
the Republican Visiting Committee.
Yesterday afternoon, the Democrats
began the preparation of their reply.
Several drafts were made and discussed
but non was adopted until late this
afternoon. The best men in both par
ties have come to the conclusion that
COMFORT of action betw the visiting
committees is almost out of the ques-
ton. Gentleman who have come from
the North are on the whole rs fair and
judicial in THAR habits a. any who be-
long To any party. but the excitement
of the presidential campaign, IN which
all of them were engaged, has been 81
great and the sake for which both
parties are now playing on the soil OF
Louisiana is SO large that a majority OF
them find it impossible to forget that
they are partisans, therefore it will
probably be that no agreement will be
reached but that n few representatives
of each party will be designated To re
main and witness the count of votes,
and that the remainder will return
hoIne within "A day or TWO. 1t is
possible that after n or two formal
letters have passed a Joint conference
may be held, bur it d0eS not look al
all probable.
the Returning Board.
New ORLEANS, Nov. IL.
The Returning Board will meet al
noon to-day, but the only business il
is likely to transac will be the election
of a member to fill a vacancy which
exists. There is some gossip afoot A.
TO the choice to be made, but this i
treated by both parties as a matter 81
indifference. If a Democrat Is chosen
and the selection will! be probably
made from that party, he will only b,
able to protest against any proceeding
which ia not please his party ano
refuse to sign the reports of the board
He will not be called upon to institute
a cross-examination of all contested
cases, as counsel for the Republican
and Democratic State Committees will
be present. The general impression
here is that the Returning Board vii
consume the entire time between nov
and the day on which the Electors arr
required TO meet and cast their votes
In c~anvassing the returns on the ma
tional ticket, and the result on til,
State ticket may not be officially know
until some time after that. Both O
the State committees are busy prepar
ing testimony to bring on full a dozer
parishes, and il the Returning Boar(
hears one-half of it It's labor would
hardly be completed before the 4th o
March.

NEW YORK, Nov. II.
A Tribune Columbia special saws tn,
Democratic majority Is 1900. TIL,
votes for Tilden are now being counted
but l can not give you the exact fig
ures on that. Wade Hampton Dem
ocrats are %anxiously waiting for of1icia
reports OH the electoral ticket.
The Florida Board OF state Can
vassers.
NEW YORK, Nov. lS.
A Herald Tallahassee special says
the Democratic State Committee hav'
addressed a communication to tn,
members of the Board OF State Can
vassers requesting them to proceed u
once with the canvass returns so far a.
received. They set forth the proba
bility that the contests will requir,
some time for determination, mi
/ quote the law requiring the issuance o
certificates by the Governor On De
cember 9th.
Interviews with members of thu
board indicate an apparent certainty
that the board will refuse to commenc,
the v as requested, but will
postpone till it will be too late for The
Democrats to secure q full hearing
This has put them to looking into thu
