President Hayes Not Worried.
The Graphic's Washington special
says all sensational rumorB indicating
that the President Is worried and has
called the members Of the Louisiana
Commission mere for consultation are
without foundation. Ex-Gov. Browns
visit Is on purely private business, and
his call upon the President had no po-
litical significance. Gov. Brown says
the Louisiana Commission was not a
party to any agreement respecting the
course that should be pursued toward
the Returning Board, but 1t was tacitly
understood by all parties that all ques-
tions arising out OF last tali's elections
should be considered US settled and not
| to be reopened in any way.
No Revenge Upon the President.
Marshal PItkin is mere, and in an in
terview published this morning denies
that he and Packard are engaged III a
plot for revenge upon the President for
ern policy, and he further says that they
are not In colluslon with other parties
to bring about indictments against the
LOUISIANA Returning Board. He Is sat
| istied that the movement against the
Returning Board Is instigateu from
New York in Tilden's interest, and be
believes that the original returns OF the
| late election are to be promulgatef In
favor of Tilden and Nichols. Pitkin
ascribes the action of the recent lowe
Republican Convention to the influence
vi Packard, who, Pitkin says, is stronger
to-day than Hayes.
