The Administration and the
Returning Board.

- t~OSsss AAA9 AsNs~ASss ktsfi.
New York, Feb. 15.---The Tele-
grams Washington special says,
while there is no open rupture in
The Cabinet, and no likelihood Of
one occurring, on the question OF
what the Administration shall do
about the Returning Board prose-
eution, it ia still evident that there
is marked division of fopinion and
feeling on the subject On one
side is the determination of Sher-
man and McCreary, which seems
to be fully shared by the President
himself, to stand by Wells and An
derson, which means TO keep them
in Office until after they shall have
ceased to be dealt with by the lou
isiuna State authorities.
On the other hand is the determ-
ination of Devens, that there is
nothing for the Administration to
do to help them, but that the law
must take its course. Had the
President consulted Devens and
the more conservative members OF
his Cabinet last year on the expe-
diency Of keeping Wells and An
derson in Office he would have been
saved from the present exigency,
because they would have advised
strongly against their retention.
1t is well known here that there
would have been no prosecution OF
these men if Hayes had not insist
ed on keeping them in prominent
official positions.

The Retnrning Boarders.

Washington, Feb. l5.-A gen
tleman who has just arrived here
from New Orleans, says positively
that<Gov. Nichols will not, under
any circumstances, recommend the
pardon of either Anderson or
Wells. sE
He thought that, should Ander-
sons name be sent TO the Louisi-
ana Senate for pardon, his long
service in the Senate would secure
him clemency; but for Wells, if
convicted, there would DO no such
hope; but Gov. Nichols, tits re-
ported, will not give the Senate An
opportunity Of showing clemency
in Wells case.
