.AT HEADQUAR" ERs.
1t is worthy Of remark that wherc,.
headquarters were, as they usually are al
night, quiet and almost deserted at tht
first visit, at the second they presented q
scene of the busiest activity. Two opera
tors were at work ut the telegraphic in
strument, the desks were occupied, mes
sengers passing to and fro with docu
ments and the evidence of something III
the wind of no little Importance keenly
apparent in the atmosphere
lH1> NEi u RNlNG DOAKD.
The Returning Board, as now consti
tutcd, consists of j. Madison Wells, Sur.
veyor Of the Port; Thomas Anderson, a
candidate for State Senator; two negroes,
Casenave and Kcnner, aud Mr.. Arroyo
resigned. According to constitutional
provisions the first two are debarred from
serving, one being United States Off
ciul, the other n candidate. The Board
is elected by the Senate, and has power
to fill any vacancy that may occur during
the interval. This leaves the selection OF
three members of the Board to the two
negroes. Wells and Anderson are both
out of the city. The former, who the
Republicans claim has right to serve,
will arrive here on Saturday evening.
The negroes, after prolonged search,
your correspondent was unable to find,
nobody appearing to know anything
about them.
THE MEETING OF TIE BOARD.
The Board will meet on the 18th, al
their Office i'll the State House, when and
where the returns will be counted.
PRESIDENT GRANTS ORDER.
President Grants order has excited a
deep feeling, which finds its expression
more in disgust than in Indignation
Everybody seems to have expected it,
from their experience Of former elections.
The expression that the issue is now
national one and that the people of the
State are the least interested, is very
general. Everything is quiet, and appa-
rently no resistance is contemplated tc
any measures that may be inaugurated
Telegraphic dispatches have, however
been sent off to all the Democratic super
visors through the State to protect the
tallies and the ballot boxes.
Much interest is manifested in the com.
ing of Messrs. Thurman, Bayard, Beck
and other prominent Democrats, who arc
expected to arrive tomorrow.
