MATTERS IN MOREHOUSE
The Statement Of Supervisor Grant
s. The L1E."

The Picayune having contained an article
with the above heading, based on q sup
posed affidavit of F. NJ. Grant, supervisor
of registration, he denies that he intended
to swear to such statement. and sent to
that paper the following card:
NEW ORLEANS, November II, 1876.
Editor Picayune:
have seen in your issue of to-day what
purports to be copy of an affidavit signed
by myself, which, upon reading iu print,
seems TO convey an impression and bear n
const ruction not intended by me when l
signed it.
The facts are briefly THESE: Some of the
prominent Democrats of MOrehOuse parish
called on myself and others to sign some
prepared statements which they alleged
were merely to show that the statement of
Governor Kellogg which had been pub
iished was erroneous 80 tar as Ii alleged
that the White Leaguers from Arkansas
and Mississippi had patroled Morehouse
parish, and also SO far rs it stated that the
colored people were prevented trom regis
teriug. l had no objection to making
statement of that kind, and l signed what
upon hasty perusal seemed to be q
statement covering those points only.
find, upon a careful examination OF 'rhat
pu,.pOrts to be a copy of my affidavit, that
1T may be interpreted to convey the i'm
preston that the parish of Norehouse acoS
mol patroled at ALL This is not true, nor did
1 intend to convey such an impression.
What l did intend to say was this: That
no White Leaguers from, adjoining. States
patroled MorehOuse parish TO my knowl-
edge.
further state that l intended to convey
the impression, 40 far as registration was
concerned, that was treated courteOusIy,
and that know of no Intimidation used to
prevent the colored people from registering
In regard to the condition OF affairs pre-
vailing in the parish prior to the election, l
will simply ssy that that is matter upon
which l have been CALI ed upon by law to
report officially, and do not think proper to
speak of it here, further than to say have
in making my report obeyed the law and
performed my duty.
Very respectfully, yours,
F. NJ. GRANT,
Supervisor of Registration of Morebouse
Parish,

BY TELEG GR AP H
WASHINGTON.
Cabinet Meeting.

Cabiuet Meeting.
WASHINGTON, November H.-The Cabi-
net meeting to-day was attended by all the
members, and appears to have been an in
teresting session. There was considerable
talk about the condition of affairs growing
ont of the election, and of the complications
that have received public attention since
action was taken by the Cabinet OF char
acter that might be remarked of very special
Importance.
After the adjournment the members of
the Cabinet repaired to the office OF the
Attorney General, somewhat in advance of
Judge Taft, who remained at the executive
mansion in order to perform necessary
business attending the pardon Of Mr..
Mckee.
While it is not yet known what the object
of the conference at the Department OF
Justice meant, it is safe to believe that it is
for the purpose Of consulting important
legal authorities in the library of that de-
partment upon matters that received con-
sideration at the meeting.
Unsatisied Curiosity.
Two members of the Cabinet are quoted
to the effect that there was no question be-
fore them of political character upon
which to base action. No action was taken
or recommendation made. They simply
had q free and q somewhat excited talk
over the situation. Their opinions are much
divided as to what is gOi1g to happen.
PardOneG.
William Mckee, of the whisky frauds,
has been pardoned.
Marine.
The ship United States, from Newberry-
port. Massachusetts, for San Francisco,
burned off Cape Horn. Crew saved.
Naval.
The Tallapoosa leaves the navy yard
Monday for Port Royal with Admiral Por.
ter, Vice Admiral Rowan, Rear Admiral
Davis, Chief Engineer King. and Naval
Constructor Eastby, to visit the naval sta.
tiOns on the Atlantic coast with view OF
closing one or more of them.

Tilden ON Florida.

In September last, says the Jacksonville
Uuion, Mr.. George F. Drew, and DR.. Payne,
OF this city, met in New York and sought a
financial interview with Governor Tilden.
The New York Tribune OF the tenth instant
furnishes the following amusing account Of
the result:
It is we'll known that about month and
a half ago the Democratic State Committee
of Florida sent an agent ia this city to
represent to Mr.. Tilden the importance
and the possibility of carrying Florida
for the Democratic ticket. The dele
gate was unacquainted with Governor
Tilden or any OF his immediate repre-
sentstives in the national or State commit
tee, and requested Democratic lawyer
of prominence who has room i'll the same
building in which Mr.. Tilden's headquar-
ters are placed-at No. 81 Liberty street
to introduce him to the Democratic man
ayers there. The lawyer endeavored to do
50 during an entire day. but received
answer from the headquarters that it was
impossible to spare the time to see the gen.
tleInan from Florida. The latter felt re-
buffed, but called the next day and finally
had an interview with come person con-
nected with tho Democratic headquarters
at No. SO Liberty street. He explained to
the lgentleman the importance OF senolng
certain important documents and large
amount of funds to Florida, claiming that
the State could be carried by an energetic
effort for Mr.. Tilden. 1t is understood that
the reply was given that Mr.. TIlden's
managers probably including Duke"
Gwinj did not need the vote of Florida;
that it was hopelessly Republican; that Mr..
Tilden was glad that it was, and hoped that
it would go Republican because the cry Of
a "united South" was already doing injury,
and that "united South" was what Mr..
Tilden deprecated in this campaign as dan
gerous to the nation. He dreaded as much
as any patriot could the idea of there being
a united South against united Nerth; that
issue had been tried once in this country,
and Mr.. Tilden did not wish to renew it, 1t
was not politic to have q united South. Mr.
Tilden could afford to lose Florida, and, it
was added, he could spend his money to
better advantage in Wisconsin, which had
ten electoral votes, while Florida only had
four.

THE SITUATION.
New York Gossip.


NEW YORK, November 1.-THE Heralds
here to-day are ten per cent above New
York. The banks are calling in all their
call loans, particularly on State and city
securities. Poor people are drawing their
money ont of the banks and putting it In
gold. Still. there is 20 sign of anything
serious.
The Heralds Tallahassee dispatch says;
The official returns continue to come IN.
without, however, changing the estimate
sent YOU two dvys since, giving the State
to Tilden bv from 400 to 700 majority. A
prominent Federal officeholder reduces Til
denis majority to 229, but l can not vouch
for his figures.
The Tribune's New Orleans dispatch says:
The latest returns of the election in Louis
lana received in this city show that the Re-
publican majorities are in the aggregate
smaller than they have been supposed to be.
Florida.
TALLAHASSEE, November l6-Midnight.-
A number of Northern Republicans here
concede the State to the Democrats for
Governor by about 400 majority, but claim
q small majority for Hayes. The Democrats
still claim the State has gone for Tilden, as
vet to hear from), by los majority. Returns
are all expected in this week and the can
vass will begin early next week. A large
number of prominent Democrats are here.
South Carolina Supreme Court Decision.
COLUMBIA, S. c., November 1.-THE Su-
preme Court to-day issued an auxiliary Or
der instructing the Board Of Csnvassers to
proceed in strictly ministerial duty-can-
vass returns and submit the same to the
court. The Board of Canvassers, just met,
have decided to admit five gentlemen of
each side to witness the canvass. The re-
suit will probably be reached tonight.
Como Home.
The Supreme Court having control of the
Board of Canvaesers, Senator Randolph,
Montgomery Blair and Hon. G. V. Fox re.
urned North to-day.
The Canvassers at Work.
No final decision is made by the Supreme
Court in the matter Of writs of mandamue
and prohibition against the canvassing
board, but the court has granted an inter.
mediary order authorizing the canvassers
to aggregate the statements of the county
election commissioners and ascertain who
have received the greatest number of votes
and they will certify the result to the court
This is entirely in the line of the writt
asked for, and confines the board to tbs
ministerial duty of canvassing the returns
Under this order the board are at work, 9

being present. They will first canvass the
vote for presidential electors.

How an Elector Once Went Back on His
Party.

Party.
Should Governor TiIden or Governor
Hayes be elected by majority of one, or
even Of three or four in the electoral col.
lege, there will be no little anxiety regard
ing the lives and health of the individual
electors, who, by their votes, are to decide
who is to be President of this great and
glorious country. In connection with this
thought historical fact Of considerable
interest at present is brought to mind,
which shows that in the year 1921 presi-
dental elector chosen by the Democratic
party in New Hampshire changed his vote,
went back on his party, and voted against
the party candidate in the electoral college.
The presidential elector referred to was ex-
Governor William Plummer. The candi-
date of his party was James Monroe, then
President of the United States. who was
running for a second term. In November,
1920 the party was successful, and the
Democratic electors we're chosen to man in
every State in the Union, among them Mr..
Plummer, from the Granite State. The eiec.
toral college met on February IA, 1921. and
the vote was unanimous for President Mon
zoe, with one exception. To the surprise of
everybody, Ex-Governor Plummer voted for
John Quincy Adams. The latter, in his
Memoirs" says he was surprised and morti-
fed that Governor Plummer should have
cast his vote for him. He had thought that,
of ell the electors, none were more certain
to vote for Monroe than Governor Plummer.
Another writer has averred that Plummer's
motive for voting against the candidate Of
his party, was that he did not wish to have
the vote unanimous for any President after
Washington. No comment on his action in
the papers of the day can be found. What
ever may have been his object, it may be
safely asserted that his action provides q
historic precedent which would be suffi-
ciently striking to seriously agitate 9 can
didate whose success depended on major
ity of one in a vote of 369.-BOston Globe.

was the doctors fault We did not get -
