Louisiana Returns.
BY A sun CORRESPOND.
ENT.


NEW YORK, February 8. Members of the New
Orleans legislature who made an agreement that
no one should be prosecuted for past political of.
fences, claim that members of the returning board
prosecuted for the criminal offence of forgery
and alteration of public documents.
The document by which Kellogg agreed with
Nash that Anderson should have the naval office
will be published in day or two.
Wells is still in prison. unable to procure bail
He is busy preparing some sort of statement,
though what is not divulged. He utterl, refuses
to make any charges which may implicste the
President or visiting statesmen.
A New Orleans correspondent of the Sun says
have seen to- night the Grant Parish returns in
GLIDING the consolidation statements and commit
tees returns.
The returns were secretly taken from the re-
turning board rooms during the occupancy of the
state house BY Packsrd's garrison.
Wells and company have sworn before two con-
giessonal committees that the reason they eject
ed Grant Parish in toto was because they never
had any returns from that parish. yet they are
here with returning board receipts.
Proper dates affixed in regular form, and
are found in the custody of the board. They have
only recently been shown by their discoverer, and
contain nearly nine hundred majority for Tllden
electors Their suppression is more glazing tnan
the Vernon parish forgery.
