New YORK, November ii Our ad-
vices to day show that Louisiana has
given about 5000 Democratic majority;
Florida about 400 Democratic ma
iority, and South Carolina about 1000

are derived in almost all cases, from the

The following dispatch has just been
received by the National Democratic
Csmmittee:
New ORLEANS, November Ire
turns from ol parishes give Democratic
majority OF 29,5l9. all official or semi
otficlal; from II parishes give lG,967 Re-
publican majority; three parishes from
Republican estimates give 1900 Repub-
lican msjorlty, which is large, as they
gave in 1874 only 4,23O, showing net
majority in 90 parishes Of. 1852. Two
parishes not heard from gave in 1874,
Lafourche, 90; Cameron, l56 Democratic
majority, which, from best sources of in.
formation / think will not be materially
changed. The registration and election
law makes fraud easy and of such
character that it is impossible to prevent
them from tampcring with returns to
some extent. Five companies of soldiers
are on their way and two companies are
already in the Custom house. A Repub
lican gave me information that n regI-
ment of soldiers were to be placed
there. All the boxes Of this parish are
in the custody of the Clerk of the Su-
preme Criminal Court. The air is filed
with rumors OF attempts to'be made by
police to capture them.

Dispatches received to-day assured
Democratic victory on the electoral ticket
in South Carolina by about one thousand
majority, in Florida by fourteen hun
dred, and in Louisiana by over seven
thousand The electoral vote Tor Tllden
and Hendricks Ms it stands tonight is
two hundred and three. The Legislature
of Florida is Democratic. Hampton
majority in South Carolina reaches tf-
teen hundred.
The Democratic returns from the three
disputed States are all in detail, and al.
most entirely from official figures. A
careful comparison OF Florida returns
show Democratic majority OF 5I9 votes
in the First District and S63 votes in the
Second District, making II Democratic
majority in the State Of l,442. This is
on the basis of figures received up to 10
o'clock P. NJ, but further official returns
received later add to the Democratic ma
jority.
From South Carolina the latest returns
are equally favorable to the Democrats,
and each report adds 10 the majorities
for both Tilden AMI Hampton.

to count in their side.
