D. Magone, Jr, Chairman of the Democrat
ic Committee, was in the rooms of the Demo-
cratic committee at Washington yesterday, al
though report was published that he passed
through Washington yesterday on his way to
Richmond, Va. He says he made a visit to
Philadelphia of a purely private character, and
returned last evening 1t was denied also that
Mr. Hewitt, Chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional committee, had gone South, and it was
said that he would undoubtedly visit the com.
mittee room today.
Gen. Fitzpatrick went to Raleigh, he says, to
ascertain the facts relative to Tuesdays cleo
ton, which could not be satisfactorily learned
by telegraph. In view of conflicting reports
from North Carolina, he says he became salts
fed before he had been there an hour that the
state was Democratic. He said if Tilden was
fairly elected the Republicans themselves would
see to it that he was inaugurated.
The report that Senator Beck. Henry Water
son and others have gone to New Orleans is
premature. Mr.. Watterson has not left Louis
vile and in reply to inquiries said that if the
parties mentioned should go to New Orleans
they would go in the interest of peace and
order proposing to exert their influence as far
as possible over the excited masses now col
lected in that city. They could do no more in
any event than to personally inform them
selves. Mr.. Watterson expressed the opinion
Hayes and Governor Tilden jointly and by
agreement to send parties of friends to Ne W
Orleans headed respectively by VIM. M. Evarts
and Charles Francis Adams, and composed of
conservative men who have the confidence of
the country. He thought such an arrange
ment would secure fair count of the votes
and satisfy. the whole people, averting m ost
dangerous issue and perhaps an outbreak of
violence.
The statement ThursdayInight that Republican
headquarters at the Fifth Avenue Hotel were
closed, was untrue. The public rooms we re

tined the dispatches as fast as received.
The Democrats at Wilmington, n. G., claim
that Tilden has been honestly elected, and if
there is to be any trouble over the matter, the
people OF the North must settle it. The Re.
publcans generally sustain the action of the
President.
The following is the list of the Louisiana
returning board: Matthew Wills, Surveyor of
the port of New Orleans, Cazenone and Kenner
(colored) and Thomas Anderson.
Intelligence has been received at Raleigh,
N. T., OF what looks like a political assassina-
ton at New Light, about twenty-five miles
from Raleigh. Rufus Averll, colored Demo-
GRAFT, was missing on Monday. On Wednesday
his corpse was found hanging in the barn of
VIM. Mangum, white Republican of New
Light. Two negroes have been arrested on
suspicion OF completely in. the murder.
Frigate Gone in Search for the Franklin.
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-The Secretary of the
Navy has ordered the steam frigate Powhatan
to search for the frigate Franklin. She left
Hampton Roads probably some time lost night.
Captain Barnecker of the bark Norma, at this
port, says the vessel he saw was appar ently
frigate under sail. There were no ags set.
There was no excitement on her decks. She
was not moving more than three knots an hour
1t was moonlight, and she crossed the track
astern of his vessel, going through heavy sea;
was rolling heavily and was head ing for Hall
fax, and although passing close enough did
not attempt to speak the Norma. Capt. Bar
necker says he does not know positively that it
was man-of-war, but it was rugged like one.
