From New Orleans special to Enquirer
The Returning Board has been in Sc
cret session all day and until - O'Clock
tonight in the rooms in the rear OF the
Senate Chamber. From that which is
gathered outside it is presumed that at
dark thirty-fye parishes had been set
tied upon, and when the session closed
all but one or two parishes had been
gone over. Although their report will
NOS be made public before tomorrow,
it is understood in Republican cir
cles that all of the eight
Hayes Electors Will be counted
in by majorities ranging from 800 or
400 to 1000, and Republican candidates
for Governor and Lieutenant Governor
by from 1900 to 1900 majority. The dis
crepancy in the majorities for Electors
is accounted for by ain omission from
tickets OF from three to five Electors in
some OF the parishes. 1t is said the
Board decided to count one of the Demo-
cratic candidates for Legislature in the
Third Ward, another in the Fourth, and
one in the Seventh Ward, In order to
increase or make sure of Republican
in the General Assembly, and
it is also said they will return, as
elected, but one Democratic Congress
