The Louisiana Returning Board.

A letter received from warm personal
friend of General Anderson and ex Governor
Wells of the Louisiana returning board, con-
tans some facts 10 relation to the means useo
to secure the vote of that State for MIR. Tilden,
which have never before been brought to
light. Pending the decision of the election
there was rush of distinguished visitors from
the North representing both parties. Prominent
among them was Mr.. Pelton. who was under
stood to be the immediate financial representa-
tive of Governor Tiden. Mr. Pelton brought
with him drafts to the amount OF $3.50, OOO and
Immediately began his efforts to buy the re-
turning board. Gov Wells. president OF the
board, was the first person approached. he
was offered 100000, $4,000 and finally
$500, 1000. The money was to be placed 10 any
bank subject to draft. contingent upon certain
results. Governor Wells said he would take
$500, 900 but he alone must be trusted. The
money must be placed 10 bis hands. Ii he re-
turned the vote for Mr.. Tilden it should be
his. IF he failed he would return the money
to the parties from whom it was received.
Those we're the only terms he would treat
upon, and the gentlemen seeking an honest
count" fearing a trick, determed to try Gen.
Anderson. State Senator Robertson was
chosen as the avenue of approach and through
him the same offer Of $3.50 900 contingent
upon the result was made to General Anderson.
The latter took time to consider, but failed to
meet the appointment he made with Mr.
Robertson to give his decision, and when
piled further declined to carry on tho nego'
tiatons. These statements came directly
from Governor Welles and Gen. Anderson.
Governor Wells says he gave ear to the offer
with the hope of drawing Tilden's representa-
tives into the trap.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 1G.-1n the Anderson
case, Judge Whitaker this morning received
the brief of counsel, and will render decision
on Monday morning, as to new trial.

IsObbing DepOsItOrs.

TRENTON, N. j., Feb. Icy esterday after.
noon Jacob r. Freeze, vice president and treas
urer of the broken State Savings Bank OF this
city, made an assignment of all his real estate
for The benefit of the savings bank. Tho prop.
crty which is valued by Mr. Freeze at about
$3.50, 900 is said to be very heavily mortgaeed
and consists of the residence now occupied by
Gov. Mcclellan and about dozen stores and
dwelling houses 10 this city besides several
| farms 10 Warren and fIoboken counties. The
general supposition is that the incumbranoes
nearly equal the present marketable value OF
| tho property and will pay only small dividend
! if any, to the unfortunate depOstors of the bank
A FAUQU1ER SENsAT1oN.-Madan Rumor is
telling of curious sensations a. present in this
| county. II seems that about yoar and ahat
ago a person purporting to be on EnglIshmsn
and giving the name of Newell Russell, came
| to this county and procured board in the house
| of Mrs. Lewis lady living near Broad Kun
station. The beardless face and otherwise
| much remarked, and questions as to his or
her sex were often raised. The person was
| generally regarded. however, as rather slngu'
| lar looking man, till short time ago when she
was seen 10 board the train at the Plains
station atlirad in an expensive female outfit.
Not long srter came the nows that it was q
case of elopement-that she had run of with
negro man named Thomas, who lived in the
neiqhborhood, and that they had been married
in GEORGETOWN d. g. What led to the strange
disguise under tho peculiar circumstances, or
what motives brought about the unnatural
marriage is to be conjectured.- |parTento"
