From the N. Y. Tribune (Rep)
Louisiana.

In New Orleans two administrations are
confronting each Other, one of them unique s.
lionably sustained by the letter OF the State
laws, the Other, according to the belief OF it,
supporters, resting upon the broad basis OF
equity. II does not seem unssible to reach
any s, tlenent OF The conflict between them
which shall moi involve injustice or al least
discrerlit The Packard G ,vernmenl inner
its the product of eight years of fraud and
perjury From 1868 up t. last November
there had never been an election IN louisa
ma in which the number of the ballots govern
ed the vrldct of the cauvassers. Repeated
w, as all impartial observers know, the Demo-
Gratis polled Il majority of the votes, but The
declaration of the Returning Board always
gave the vcloly tn their opponents. These
proceedings have been several times brought
before Congress; Republican committees of
investigation have reported against the
wrongs commit ed in behalf of their own
party, and NJ politician of prominence, even
IN time OF great partisan excitement, has
ever defended them. A Republican Senate
has steadily refused To admit Pnchback be-
cause admitting him involved the rc"gni-
ton of an usurping governments; nnd RepuD-
lcan members OF the Hnu-c, including Mr..
Wheeler, report, d, after investigating the
action of the Returning Board of the election
of 1874, that it was entitled To no respect
whatever.
The board was precisely the same which
has now given certificates To MIR Packard
and lis assoclutes-precisely the same, except
that one Democratic member, who sat in ii
as witness Of wrongs which he could not
prevent, has resigned and his place has not
been filled. Is it any wonder that its deci-
sions should be scrutinized with suspicion,
and that the country should refuse to accept
its statements OF fact uni they have been
verified by on side testimony? Nay, we
may go further; is it very surprising that
the Democrats of Louisiana should refuse to
be bound by any Judgment which past ex-
perience might justify them regarding as
dishonest?- should apply TO the Returning
Board in 1876 the words which Mr.. Wheel
er's committee appli, d to the same board in
1875, and declare its proceedings entitled to
no respect whatever? The greater conse-
quences depending upon The action Of the
board this year hare only made the country
less willing to trust il. Committees OF The
Senate and House of Representatives, and
CO, respondents of the Tribune and some
other Independent papers, have disclosed a
great many important facts connected with
the ecent election, and have proved that i'll
some cases NJ least the bould did no more
than its duly in excluding returns; but the
word of the boar ITSELF counts for nothing
with any intelligent man.
