fairly elected to the Presidency, that he
means to be President, to be his own
man, and to have his own policy; that
cerned in Grants administration or
elsewhere should have any office or
power under his administration. He
thought reform absolutely necessary,
and impossible, except by calling in new
men and dropping the men now in
power and place. He thought Hampton
mad acted noble part in recent events
In Sou5h Carolina, for which the coun-
try owed him thanks. If he Hayes) be-
came President he should wish to cal
Lamar into his Cabinet, and he would
frame his Southern policy on the advice
OF Lamar and Hampton. The complaints
OF the Southern people about carpet-bag
government were just. lie favored JUS
tice to the negro, and was convinced
this would be got best by trusting hon
orable and influential Southern white
men.
The special wound up with the asser-
tion that Hayes said as soon as the
Electoral vote was declared, and mis-
election thus publicly assured, he would
have private conference with Lamar
and Hampton With the object OF harmon
izng differences ana for the good of their
sections, believing that reconstruction
was absolutely necessary Tor the good
oil the whole country.
The Interview from Another
Standpoint.
NEW YORK, Dec. A dispatch to the
National Associated Press last night
in reference to the interview between
Hayes and Roberts, and the reports of
Hayes withdrawal, says: "There is the
best authority for saying that no propo-
sition was presented or discussed of the
character set forth in the telegram sent
from here to Democratic journals, pur-
porting to be report of the interview.
No suggestion was made or considered
on either side, or limited at, that con-
templated an abandonment of the RepuD-
licaus or Republican leaders in the South
by Hayes in the event OF his assuming
the duties of President, nor was Hayes
called upon to make or accept any Con-
cessions whatever. The only asSur-
auces given b. Hayes were that ne
meant all that was implied in his letter
OF acceptance in relation TO tue SOUTH,
and mat he was duly sensible or the
fact that as yet the result Of the Pfesl-
Dental election had not been definitely
ascertained, and lurther that he was
pleased with the growing feeling mani
tested OH the part OF leading men of the
South to abide the result OF the election,
and TO discourage all attempts at dis
order.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 4.-Tne docu-
mentary evidence submitted by the
Democrats was so vOluminous that it
will be impossible to examine it before
Tuesday. The Republican visitors have
all left for Washington, where their re-
port Will be completed. General Sher-
man, before leaving, in a conversation
with the Hon. Geo. b. Smith, said that
he did not regard it as possible for the
Board to return Mr.. Tilden as elected.
The Democratic consultation rooms are
closed. A. L. Burk, Chairman Of the
Democratic Registration and Election
Committee, publishes to-day state
ment giving the result of the recent elec-
tions in this State, made from the Off
cial figures before the Returning Board.
This statement agrees substantially
with that of the Democratic Visiting
Committee, which has been telegraphed.
[From Redfeld's New Orleans Special to Com
me:cial
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 3.-Although the
Board is about through with its labors,
the WORK of taking sworn statements at
the Custom-house still continues. The
object is prob tbly to show the North the
diabolical means used to carry the five
disputed parishes for Tilden and create
public sentiment that will sustain the
Returning Board, and show in the terri
Bile array OF facts the necessity OF having
such an institution. The Board is the
only protection the republicans have
against the Mississippi style of cam
paign at any time. But for this c)ntriV-
ance the minority would run over the
majority with pistols and guns, just as
they did in Ouachita Parish, ana there
would be no remedy.
From New Orleans Special to Enquirer.1
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 3.-Several men,
bers of the Returning Board, with a
number of clerks, have been locked in
Antoine's room, in the rear of the Sem
ate Chamber, nearly all day, and all
approaches to the room are strictly
by police. Last night the same
force were at work at the same place
until midnight, making compilations, not
from the Commissioners returns, as
provided for by law, but from the Super
Visors' returns, which Wells says will
guide him in arriving at the final de-
clsion. 1t is plain now that he does not
intend to give the evidence offered by
Democrats the slightest consideration,
ana that the remark that he made yes
terday when he said he didn't have time
to go over it, but might employ some one
to DO IL liter the Legislature met, leaves
no room to doubt that his conclusions
have already been formed, and that he
only wants to get figures enough from
the statements to make showing in
justification of the outrage he confem-
plates peIpetrating.
