NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 18.-It has nov
been fully decided by the Democratic
visitors TO entrust their case to Messrs
Trumbujl, Palmer and Potter, who will
remain in New Orleans to watch and
conduct it. All the other gentlemen
now here in that interest will probably
return North in a few days.
Tho policy TO be followed subsequently
will be matter OF future consideration
which the National Committee will
probably dictate. That Louisiana will
be counted for Hayes by the Board, Is
now a universally accepted belief.
The Republicans claim that every
parish where they were unseated and
the Democrats admitted, undor the
Wheeler compromise, the Republicans
are this year elected. Gen. Lew. Wal
lace, viii Cumback and John Coburn
OF Indiana, have arrived. Gen. Sheridan
and staff arrived last evening, also Gen
Garfield, OF Ohio, and VIM. b. Kelly, o.
Pennsylvania. The city is quiet.

members Of the Returning Board are

several weeks.

retired to rest without expressing any
opinion on the situation.
A number of prominent Democrats
visited Governor Kellogg this afternoon
and had quite a conference with him.
He at first partially denied having writ
ten the statement published in the New
York Tribune about assassinations in
the bull-dOz9 parishes OF this State, but
on being confronted with written copy
of it acknowledged it's authorship
When asked upon what he
based his statement, he evi.
denced the Soir case, an assass ina.
tion entirely non-political in its char

ago. When questioned as to whether
The Republicans intended to cOntine
their claims of fraud to the five disputed
parishes, he admitted that they did not,

a very poor opinion of him and his
cause. Judge Stallo pronOunces Kel-

The Democrats have plenty of proct to
show that there was a scheme iald be-

Hayes.
the Republicans have ticklish job
before them in rejecting votes, for they
have to carry the State for Hayes and
still elect three members of the Legisla-
ture 80 as to give them control OF the
State and the election OF United States
Senator's.
Gov. Curtin and Hon. Samuel j. Ram

that it will have final Jurisdiction in the
case.
The Republicans will hold a meeting
tomorrow morning TO consider the prop

a conference to determine the course of
procedure. Stanley Matthews, who is
he bitterest and most partisan of the
Northern men present, is opposed to the

wishes the Returning Board to settle
he whole thing without any advice
rom outsiders.
The city is very quiet, and the only
hreats OF violence made are from the
ips OF Northern men, who are aston
shed at the fortitude and forbearance of
he Southern peuple.
