ING FACT. * : ‘
New Orleans, Ndv. 11*—Re
turns from all except seven parishes,
which are estimated, show a demo
cratic majority of over 8,000.
Ex-Gov. Pinchback, in an interview
to-day, said, that if the returns, so
for as received, are correct, the dem-s
ocrats have certainly carried the
state.
Chester B. Darrell has been re-elec
ted to congress in the 3d district, and
J. E Leonard, republican, elected in
the 5th district. The other congres
sional elections elected democrats.
The indications ai e that the demo
crats will have a majority of 3 or 4
in the senate and 15 in tho house.
The next legislature elects two Uni
ted States senators. It was claimed
by Col. Packard’s ojjponem, that lie
would be behind bis- ticket, but the
figures show only a slight difterenc*
between (he* votes for Hays and those
tqr Packard.
, Nbw Orleans, November II.—
The Louisiana demoorktic majority
is as follows: The democratic nnijitr
ivy in fifty-two paris >es heard from is
4,615, and the five counties to hear
from; in 1874, gave a democratic ma
jority cf 2,883, making a total demo
cratic majority of 7,528.
An Atlanta firm furnishes ns the
following private dispatch: “ Every
thing quiet here; no excitement.
Every one confident that the demo
crats have carried tho State by
large majority, hut Kellogg means
mischief in tampering with the ballot
boxes, and so telegraphed Chamber*
Inin. If he attempts this, good-bye
Kellogg & Co. Louisiana won’t

Charleston, Nov, II,
The offioial majorities in all the
comities, compiled from the returns,
of the precinct majorities, aregiyen
in an extra of jthe N&os and Courier
to night, showing 1.46ft niajority .for •
Hampton. Iu twelve counties out of

vote was 687 mmind Hampton’s,
is believed now that tho vot,e for the
electors trill' he very close' indeed*
The hoard .of State canvassers at Co- '
lumbia to-night considered the ques
tion whether tfhey iiad revisory juris
diction over returns. Attorney Gen
eral Stone and another member of
the board, not candidates for re-elec
tion,opposed the claim, and* contend
ed that their duty was simply to ag
gregate and declare the result re
ported to them from the counties^
The rest of the board, however,,
voted otherwise, and their decision
was against this view. Governor
Chamberlain still claims the state for
the republicans by from 5,900 to
7,000.

Charleston, Nov. 11.—By the
latest corrected official returns,
Hampton’s majority is l,484f The
full returns indicate that Tilden has
fefien much more behind Hampton’s
vote-than had been supposed. In 10
out of 82 counties Tilden’s majority
is 453 less than Hampton’s. An
equal ratio in the remaining 22 coun
ties would leave Tilden less than 100

New Orleans, Nov. 11.—No
change in the aspect of affairs. Til
den’s majority will be not less than
7,500. Some of the committee sent
out have arrived. Others are ex
pected to-morrow.
THE OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
Washington, Nov. 11.—The New
York Herald still considers the result
doubtful. Partisan papers continue
equally confident in asserting the tri-»
umph of their party.
A LITTLE ADULATION.
The Herald says of Grant’s order:
“ He used words which are most hon
orable to him, and which accurately
express the thoughts of all patriotic
men. Gen. Grant has done many
wise acts, bnt this is the wisest act of
his life. It will do much to reassure
the public of both sides and the na
tion will thank him for his timely and
patriotic words.’’
An Escort for Tilden.
Baltimore, October 24.—Sheriff
Albert and other prominent politi
cians and merchants here, confident
of Tilden’s election, have subscribed,
a, ftind to send the 5th regiment Mary

also di.-cussibg *the propriety of in,'
similar arrangement. The necessary'
funds to Send tlie 5th were promptly*
sub cribed, and Tilden’s friends here
are confident they will have flic
agreeable duty to perform. Tho
