Itojjly of tlie Democratic
Commit lee.
New Orleans, Nov. 10.— Ex-Gov.
J. Madison Wells, Gen. Thomas C.
Anderson, G. Casamore and Louis M.
Kenner to-day took the oath of office,
filed the necessary papers with the
Secretary of State, and went into ex
ecutive session in a room assigned
them in the State House. Nothing
has trarisnired regarding tho pro
ceedings. Gov. Kellogg stated, this
afternoon, that the vacancy in the
board had not yet been filled. The
board adjourned to meet Saturday at
noon. Gov. Wells, in answer to an
inquiry as to whether or not report
ers and spectators would he admitted,
said that it was the wish, and he evi
dently expressed the sentiment of all
members, that the board should sit
with closed doors during the canvass
ing and compiling of returns, except
when information was wanted con
cerning a particular poll or matter
connected with the election, or when
some point was to be argued before
the Board. He said that neither the
Governor, or any other State officer, |
if his wish was regarded, would have i
free access to the room during the I
session of the Board. If tho Board j
wanted legal advice he said they
would call on the Attorney General, |
but at no other time would ho be ad-!
mitted. Both Mr. Wells and Mr.
Anderson said that the Board was an 1
entirely independent body, and j
would not be controlled in its action j
in any way, either by executive or j
other parties. .
New OrljEanh, Nov. 17.—Governor
Wells, a member of the Ketnrning
Board, states that in all cases of con
tested polls from any cause, the
Democratic State Committee would
be notified and the Board would hear
arguments from both sides.
New York, Nov. 17.—The Herald’* ;
New Orleans special says: “Gold
rates here to-day are ten per cent,
above New York. Banks are calling
in all their call loans, State and secu- [
rities. Poor people are drawing their j
money out of the banks and putting ;
it in gold. Still there Is no sign of any- j
thing serious.” The committee ap-i
pointed by the Democratic visitors
to prepare a reply to the Republican
letter of refusal, have been at work j
up to a late hour. It consists of
Senators Trumbull and Doolittle,!
Gov. Curtin of Pennsylvania, and 1
another of Ohio. In substance it |
will substantially say, among other
things, that they admit the want of
official powers or right to interfere !
with the internal affairs of the State
of Louisiana; but they are here at
the request of an organization of a
great political party, where they
met the representatives of the oppo
sition. elected by the President him
self for the same purpose, and as ho
says in his army orders, for the sake
of seeing an honest count. of the
vote actually cast.
In reply to the statement that the
Vice President has the authority to
count tho votes, they take direct
issue, and assert that Congress itself,
consisting of the Senate and the
House, has been invested with said
power.
The Hei'ald says the official returns
continue to come in, without, how
ever, changing the estimate I sent
you two days ago, giving the State to
Tiiden by from 4,000 to 7,000 majority.
A prominent Federal offico holder
hero says Tiiden’s majority is 2,290,
but I enn’t vouch for his figures.
Tho Tribune’s New Orleans disatoh
says the latest returns of tho election
in Louisiana received in this city
show that the Republican majorities
are in the aggregate smaller than
they have been supposed to be.

Wednesday, said: “Gentlemen, lei
us wish the best success to the com

| ttmv the Political Crist* Affect* Hol
lies*.
New York, Nov. 10.—The Herald
assorts that there is no material
change in the situation. The discus
sion of tho situation on change and
other business localities, relates
principally to tho effect the excite
ment has had on Southern trade. A
member of one of the largest dry
goods jobbing houses in the city,
says: “It is no use disguising the
matter; there is a decided lull in
business with the South, occasioned
by political turmoil. Where my
firm, at this period of the year, should
be doing a business of $70,000 per
day, we are now doing only
SIO,OOO, in consequence of the
uncertainly now existing. Southern
men are countermanding their or
ders in some instances, and cutting
them down from one-half to one
third of what they usually are. Mer
chants who we calculate on, from
former sales, would buy $30,000
worth, now send orders for SIO,OOO,
and, in some instances even $5,000
would cover the amount. The main
question is, how longthia.stato of af
fairs is to last? Cool-headed men
say that the present situation does
not amount to a pinch of snuff, that
the South has got. to have goods, and
will buy them when they get over
their present fit of anger. Wes
tern and Southern Shippers
generally say that their ship
ments have fallen off tremen
dously within the last three weeks.
Orders aro being countermanded. In
addition to this, they report that less
dry goods have been bought for tho
Eastern trade this year than during
any of the five preceding years. The
reason given for this is that the vis
itors to the Centennial have also vis
ited New York, and individually pur
chased what thoy needed instead of
paying extra profit to stores where
they reside. A. TANARUS, Stewart & Cos. and
other large houses have done well on
this score, but jobbing houses report
a corresponding loss of trade with j
their Northern customers. This, in
addition to the falling off in Southern
orders, makes the political situation
verv serious to them.
CAlin'ET CONFERENCE ON THE MT-
I ATI ON.
RESULT NOT KNOWN.
Washington, Nov. 17.—Tho Cabi
net meeting to-day was attend
ed by all the members, and ap
pears to have been an interesting ses
sion. There was considerable talk i
about the condition of affairs grow
ing out of the election, of the compli
cations that have received public at
tention since that time, though it is
not known that any action was taken
by the Cabinet of a character that
might be regarded of very special im
portance.
the adjournment, tho
members of the Cabinet repair
ed to the office of the Attor
ney General, somewhat in ad
vance of Judge Taft, who remained
at the Executive mansion in order to
perform uecessary business attend
ing tho pardon of McKee.
While it is not known what the
object of the conference at the De
partmentof Justice meant, it is safe
to believe that it was for tho purpose
of consulting important and legal au
thorities in tho library of that de
partment upon matters that received
consideration at tbo meeting.
LATER.
Washington, Nov. 17.—Two mem
bers of the cabinet are quoted to tho
| effect that there is no question be
fore tnem of a political character
upon which to base the action, and
no action was taken or reqprntnenda
tion made. They simply had a free
I andeomewhat excited talk over the
situation. Their opinions tiro much
divided as to what is going to hap
pen. ■ #
A Tribune special irom Washington
says influential Republicans talk of
electing Blaine to the Presidency of
i the Senate, and thus provide for att
able President in case the House, t>y
refusing to unite with the Senate in
counting the votes, defeats an eleo
i tiuu, and the powers of the Execu-
I tive devolve upon the President of
the Senate.

The Santa Cruz Setitinrl publishes the
following:
“Brandy cocktails—drinks for two,”
spoko n Bin-ill feminlno voieouttho marble
counter of a brilliantly lighted saloon of
the town of M . The unusual sound
or n female voice in the plaeo at
tracted tho attention of the Inmates of an
adjoining room, where tho young sports
of tho town were wont to lissomblo of an
evening for a quiet game of poker. “My
life if Hint don’t sound liko Amanda’s
voice," said Tom Bottle, pressing forward,
while tho bar-tender stood spoil-bound at
bucli a demand from fair lips. They
were fashionably dressed ladios, both
young nnd good looking, besides bolng
not altogether strangers to more t han one
of those assembled there.
Their attention being diverted toward
j the open door where stood Tom Bottle,
j who was not a tall man, with some half
dozen or more heads peering ai>ovo his,
wit h an expression of tho utmost amaze
ment, depicted upon oacli countenance.
"Good evening, Mr. Bottle,” said tho
voico, quito unabashed. -‘This is my
frlond, Miss Fisher, Mr. Bottlo. We
t bought, wo’d step In for an hour to while
away tho time witii a game of cards; Am
glad to meet you here, Mr. Bottle; come
Minnie,” said she, turning to her friend
and tho two sailed past, tho crowd into
tho card-room before Thomas Bottle
could recover from his astonishment and
rage at this new freak of tho partner of
his bosom. He at last found voice to say
gravely, “Why, Amanda, what brought
you hero? Como, I’m going homo.” A
suppressed titter passed from one to
another of the group as the ladies stepped
up to the table, and taking up tho cards
commenced shuffling them, at the same
tlmo seating themselves with a noncha
lanco quite amusiug. Nodding to Fred
Morton, the animated lady said: “Como
friends, don’t let us disturb your
game.” She then whispered a word to
Fred, who returned to,tho table followed
by the others, all excepting Mr. Bottle,
who livid with rage, paced the floor like
a caged lion. Stopping in front of his
wifo, ■ with eyes flashing with Are, he
would stamp ids foot and tell her this had
gone far enough. She had better go
home at once.
Without taking the least notice of his
words the lively Amanda appeared tho
picture of contentment, and became at
once ongrossed in the game.
“Come, boys,” said Tom, “break up this
game. I will have my wife go home with
wo now, this instant."
No notice whatever was taken of this
extraordinary demand, and finding that
ho could accomplish nothing by force, he
then came to her side and begged and
pleaded with her to go homo with him.
"How preposterous!” exclaimed sho,
gaily. “Wliy, pray, are you in such n
hurry to go home, Mr. Bottle ? Your wife
don’t expect you; yet awltilo, certainly.”
“My wife don’t expect nto!” exclaimed
ho bitterly, taking the words from her.
“Why, Amanda, you’ll drive me crazy,
you will.”
“Don’t bo familiar, Mr. Bottle. Don’t,
for goodnoss’ sake, make these gentlemen
think we are anything more than mere
acquaintances. What would your wife
say, Mr. Bottle, to hear you tell mo I was
driving you crazy F* Surely! Mr. Bottle,
you must have been imbibing. Whose
turn ? Ate you waiting for me ? I crave
your pardon, gents; our friend here in
sists upon insulting mo by urging mo to
accompany him home I He is a married
man, too! Did you ever hoar of anything
so absurd ?”
“But, Amanda, you must and shall come
this very minute!” fairly shrieked tho
exasperated man.
“Hear him now,” whispered the rogu
ish lady; ‘‘would any one suppose a maH
could labor under such a delusion ? Just
as if he, Mr. Thomas Bottle, had any
claim upon mo to warrant his making
such vehement demands, expecting me to
leave such onticing company logo forth
alone with him!”
“You will pay for this, madam!” put in
Thomas, with indignation.
“From your purse ?” said she inquiring
ly-
“ Come, come, enough ot this, Mrs. Bot
tle. 1 insist ”
“Surely,sir,”interrupted the lady, “you
will not go till yon have treated the crowd.
Come, bar-keeper, bring some hot punch
for all.”
“No, madam, I’ll neither drink nor pay
for drinks,” and taking her by the elbow
he raised her to her feet.
Turning herself with dignity, she glared
upon her victim like a tigress, and ex
claimed: “Thomas Bottle, wbat am I to
think of a man who goes where ho is un
willing to meet his wife? Whoso associ
ates he does not consider fit companions
for his wife? Whose games are unfit to
be shared by her ? And who is unwilling
to extend to her the civility of a social
glass? Thomas Bottle, henceforth we
meet as strangers.”
“Come, Amanda, do stop such nonsense
and come home,” said Tom pulling her
sleeve.
“Don’t interrupt me,” said she, with a
jerk from his grasp. “I’ll go when lam
ready, not berore. You, sir, may go as
soon as you liko. I came here without
your protecting care, and I can go without
it. Henceforth, sir, you and I are as if we
had never met. I bay it in the presence of
theso people, unless there is a marked
Change in your behavior, bir. Never shall
we sleep under the same roof again, sir!
Never!”
’ i promise you, Amanda,” began he In
a penitent voice, ”il you’ll come home, 111
do anything you say.” , ...
"Don’t make any promises to break with
the dawn of day, sir. I must have some
thing hesid" promises now. Promises
cannot compensate for all ih't i have en
dured, for a t that I have suffered before 1
could summon courage to take this Stejv
