NEW YORK, November 9.-The following
circular letter, signed by VIM. A. Fowler,
Chairman Of the Executive Committee of
the Democratic State Committee, was is
sued to-day: The reports Of fraud in the
elections held in this city and Brooklyn,
on the I'd Of November, are such that if
the frauds reported are established, the
electoral vote of this State will be cast for
Hancock and English, and steps for a
thorough investigation are now being con-
sidered. Iu the meantime we hand here
with a blank form Of protest which you
will please execute, varied in substance
according to circumstances, and hand in
to the County Canvassers as early this
week as possible, and not later than Thurs
day, the 18th instant:
1.-THE undersigned hereby protests against
the allowance of the vote cast for Presi-
Dental electors at the election held No
vember I'd, in name of place., as can
vassed and returned by the Board of
County Canvassers Of said county, for the
reason that Estate facts in detail. We
would respectfully request that this pro-
test may be attached to the return of each
vote, that we may not be considered to
have, by silence, acquisced in these acts"
The Herald says: There is no truth in
the story that General Hancock has writ
ten a letter in regard to the charges Of fraud
against the Republican leaders in the late
election, and a proposal by the Democratic
| leaders to unearth this alleged fraud, with
a view to the rejection Of the electoral
votes of this State, thus throwing upon the

President, which would result in the cleo
ton of Hancock. He has written no such
| letter, and as stated to the Herald reporter
last evening, does not propose to take par,
in any such controversy. The election has
taken place, and the supposed result has
been duly promulgated. If this result is
changed, and he is declared elected on ac-
count Of frauds, vitiating the late election,
his duty in the premises will be very clear
to assume the reins of government on the
| 4th of March.
The Sun says: We hear some talk aboui
taking the electoral vote of New York from
Garfield, to whom it belongs, and giving il
to Hancock, to whom it does not belong
/ Garfield was legally elected. If he lives
until the 4th day Of March, 1881, he will
be inaugurated. New York was counted
for Hancock before election day, largely
on the strength of Kelly's protesta.
tons. Since election day, and on the
strength of the cold facts, it has been
counted for Garfield. 1t is not likely to BIZ
counted for Hancock again at present.
The Tribune says of all the northern
States, three are claimed to have voted for
Hancock. The State of Camden and Am.
boy, by a plurality of about 1000; the
State of the Bonanza Kings, by a majority
of 500. and California, if at all, by a ma
jority 80 small that microscopic examine

and New Jersey was turned by a railroad
company, Nevada by a millionaire, and
California by a forgery, so palpable that il
would not have deceived the most stupid

the Presidency with q clear majority of the
popular vote, although 16 States were
counted against him, and three more were
stolen by his opponents.
A Proposition to Send Chinese to
Louisiana.
WASHINGTON, November 9.-An agent OF
the New Orleans and Havana steamship
line was here for some days with reference
to the proposed bringing over of Chinese
from Cuba to Louisiana, to be employed
by the sugar planters Of that State. The
obstacle thrown in the way by the Spanish
authorities, and the Chinese Consul, have
been mentioned, and the mission Of the
agent here was to ascertain il something
could not be done from this point. He
called at the Department Of State and the
Chinese Embassy, but nothing practical
resulted. In view Of what he character
lied as the bad treatment experienced by
the Chinese who settled in the United
States, the Chinese ambassador saws he
does not feel inclined to take any action
that will result in bringing any more of
them here, and as the United States Gov
eminent desires o modification of the
treaty 80 as to check Chinese immigration
to California, the State Department con-
siders that it will not be consistent to en-
courage such immigration to Louisiana.
Garfield Free from Entangling Al
liances.
CHICAGO, November 9.-The Times Col
umbus special says: Garfeld's nomination
at Chicago left him absolutely free from
e~ntangling alliances. I am satisfied he has
not made a promise to q single living man.
l believe he will select his Cabinet from
perfectly reliable Republicans. He will
seek out competent and worthy Republic
cans in the South, and give them honors
and emoluments. He will not seek to pop
ularize his administration by appointing
Democrats to office. The South did not
give him a vote, and he has no debts to
pay in that quarter. / don't think he will
make any speciality Of Civil Service Re-
form. His administration will be some
what stalwart.
Moody and sankey Among the
MOrmons.
SALT Lake. November 9.-Moody and
Sankey left to-day for San Francisco, after a
very successful revival. The Mormon peo-
pie took great interest in the services, and
is thought q continuation Of the mission
for . few months longer would cause seri-
Gus trouble in the Mormon Church.
The fall election returns are no. all yet
in, but sufficient is known to indicate CAN
mons election. The vote was very light.
The Mormons were not anxious to vote,
though the women turned out in full force.
