Senator Nesmith and wanted money for his vote,

The Louisiana Prosecutions.

The prosecution of the Louisiana Re-
turning Board. the report of which was
at first supposed to be a fiction, turns out
to be reality. Wells and Anderson are
indicted. and will be called to answer for
alleged forgery in altering the election re-
turns. Various rumors are afloat in con-
nection with this proceeding. Gov.
Brown of Tennessee, who was member
OF the Commission sent to New Orleans,
is in Washington. He says there was no
agreement with the commission that
Wells and Anderson should be exempt
from prosecution, nor was such propo-
sition brought forward; but he further
says there was tacit understanding that
the settlement agreed upon would termi-
nate the entire controversy, and no fur
Their proceedings were to be instituted
based on anything that occurred during
the election and canvass of the vote OF
Louisiana. Whatever may have been
the agreement and understanding of the
commission, it is certain that the idea
became generally fixed in the northern
mind that the era of reconciliation and
peace which the Inauguration of Nichols
was represented to have ushered in car
ried with it the guarantee that republi-
cans who had been prominent and active
in the elections should not be subject to
,1araao,,t;oy mr. nraooout;on in tho cnrl rita
Gov. Brown says the prosecution is insti-
tuted against the desire of Gov. Nichols
by Attorney General Ogden. What
Nichols wishes is of no consequence,
what he can and will do to keep his
promises and the promises of the demo-
cratic party of Louisiana is the main thing.
There are rumors that Tildens hand is
underneath this prosecution. and that Gov.
Nichols dare not interfere with his plans.
The World says: "a private letter from
New Orleans to gentleman in this city
gives curious twist to the significance
of the excitement there over the threat
ened proceedings against the Returning
Board. This letter intimates that the OBJ
ject of those who are pushing the matter
is to force out the truth, not only in re-
gard to the relations between the Re-
turning Board and the visiting states
men of the republican party, but also in
regard to certain alleged negotiations, of
which three persons alone are said to
have an absolute and accurate knowledge,
between the Returning Board and certain
leaders Of the democratic party in the
north"
Whoever may be engaged in pushing
the prosecution, and whatever their pur-
poses may be, one important fact appears
very plainly, that the expectations of the
North in regard to the settlement Of the
political troubles in Louisiana are likely
to end in smoke.

which formed large and indescribable
collection of bags, bundles and chests,
