NOTES AND GOSSIP.

WASHINGTON, Februry i7.-Honore's
box of papers Is said to cover ali the
Louisiana election returns; is four feet
long, two feet wide, and two feet deep.
The papers are useless now unless
they can be brought to bear ON the
State Government of louisiana.
Secretary Cameron and General
Sherman have retLrned.
No executive action to-day regarding
Louisiana. There are high assurances
that nothing will be done in haste.
Raiders in Yankton county, North
Carolina, report the capture of twenty.
nine copper stills and eight distillers.
The privileges and elections commit
tee resolved to report Caspar Jourdan
to the Senate for contempt.
Senator Gordon was in his seat for
short time yesterday aud to-day, but is
too nuweil to attend to his public du-
ties. His physicians advise him to re-
turn home or go into the country.
The privilege ard election commit
tee of the Senate had cashier Jordan
on the stand, who declined to answer
any question until he could consult
his lawyer. He had consulted only
the president and directors of the
bank, but refused to state their advice.
The question referred to the bank sc-
count of Hewitt and Pelton. The
committee went into private session.
Based upon dispatches from deputy
Stockton to Marshall Pitkin, the Re-
publican says editorially: 'By our dis
patches it will be seen that the White
League of Louisiana are threatening
10 cut telegraphic communication
from New Orleans north to fight for
the State house to-day. They asser-
ted yesterday that Packard should die
if be attempted to rule the State. In
teresting news may be expected from
that quarter to-day"
The privilege and powers committee
of the House examined Duncan f.
kenner, who testified that Governor
Wells told an untruth when he said
| that Kenner offered bribe to Wells
to cast the vote of Louisiana for Tilden.
! During long conversation, Wells
said he must be rewarded, tut didn't
mention the sum as he had to consul,
Tom Anderson. At a subsequent In.
terview Wells said Anderson wanted
half million. Kenner said this was
ridiculous. Wells said, 1--WE want few
days longer Subsequently Wells said
he could not give fair count, but
would return enough votes to save
| Nichols for two thousand dollars In
his hands. Witness replied that he
had not that sum. This closed the ne.
tiations.
A citizen of Louisiana now reports
having received communication
from leading banking firm in New
York which states that they have re
ceived orders to sell large amounts O
Louisiana consois on the European
account, since the news of the Florids
vote havif Z been counted for Hayes
was received abroad, the belief ther,
being that Louisiana would be simi
lariy decided and Packard sustained
in which event they thought the secu
rites of the State would be alunos
worthless. While, had Nichols beer
recognized. the credit of the State Sc
curities would have been greatly en-
!, haneed.

whether the electors were or were not
eligible under the constitution Of the
United States, when the motion was
made by the Senator from Delaware,
Sir. Bayard, to apply the same rule to
I-oisiana, the decision was reversed.
The case has been made 90 plain by
counsel, so strong, so irrefutable, that
such an examination could not take
place without proving beyond the pos
sibiiity of doubt that more than one
elector from that State was entitled to
the position of elector because he wss
eligible, and this decision was changed
oy this commission. Sir, the name OF
Jefiries and Marlborough have come
down 10 US for ages past covered with
disgrace and shame, because they were
corrupt judges, and the name of that
man who changed his vote upon that
commission, Justice Bradley, will go
down to after ages disgraced; his name
Will be associated with Marlborough

from Maine in regard to Mr.. Justice
Bradley. II that Senator could have
heard the discussions Of the electoral
commissions as Ne tMorton) heard
them, he would not have made such
remarks. The time would come when
