NOTES AND GOSSIP,

WASHINGTON, Februry l7.-HOnores
box OF papers is said to cover all 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 returned.
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 n
short time yesterday and to-day, but is
too unwell to attend to his public du.
ties. His physicians advise him to re-
turn home or go into the country.
The privilege and 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 1t will be seen that the White
League of Louisiana are threatening
to cut telegraphic communication
from New Orleans north to fight for
the State house to-day. They asser-
ted yesterday that Packard should die
if he 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 II.
Kenner, who testified that Governor
Wells told an untruth when he said
that Kenner offered bride to Wells
to cast the vote of Louisiana for Tilden.
During long conversation, Wells
said ne must be rewarded, tut didn't
mention the sum as he had to consult
Tom Anderson. AT u subsequent in
terview Wells said Anderson wanted
half n 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 nc.
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 Of
Louisiana consols on the European
account, fince the news of the Florids
vote havil 4 been counted for Haye,
was received abroad, the belief there
being that Louisiana would be SINH
larry decided and Packard sustained
in which event they thought the secu
rites OF the State would be almost
worthless, While, had Nichols beer
recognized. the credit of the State Sc
curities would have been greatly ell
HANGED.
