' . VOL. 2. LOUISIANA. Returning Beard to Meet To-day. TO SIT WITH CLOSED DOORS Xo ni iiioiislytiioih uf Violence BUT A PANICKY BUSINESS FEELING. 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. SOUTH CAROLINA. -•- - - Tin-; mi isu<:ni: coi rt ki:mtmai\m TIIK CANVASSING HOARII. Allot tier Xcftrn Riot anti Murder of White*. Columbia, S. C., Nov. 17.—The Su preme Court to-day issued an auxil iary order instructing the Board of Canvassers to proceed strictly with tho ministerial duty of canvassing the returns and submit the same to the Court, The Board of Canvassers have just met and decided to admit,' five gentlemen of both sides to wit ness tho canvass. The result will probably be reached to-night. Charleston, Nov. 17.—A special dispatch to the News <£ Cmrler, re ceived at 2:30 p. mi, says that a col ored Democrat was severely beaten by Radical negroes in Lawtonville, in the upper part of Beaufort county. Tho Trial Justice issued warrants for the arrest of the offenders, and five were arrested by a constable*and l>oßse. These, on returning with the prisoners, last night, were attacked by a body of armed negroes, two of the white constables killed, and the prisoners rescued. The Sheriff of the county is now on his way to Law tonville. Telegrams from Barnesville state that negroes, 2,090 in number, and armed, are at Stafford’s Cross Roads, near Lawtonville, swearing ven geance on every white man in the county. Columbia, Nov. 17.—The Supreme Court having control of the Board of Canvassers. Senator Randolph, Mont gomery Blair, and Hon. G. V. Fox returned North to-day. Columbia, Nov. 17.—The Supreme Court decided nothing, they merely ordered the board to canvass the vote ministerially, and report to the Court. Augusta, Nov. 17.—A posse of six men was sent, out by Trial Justice Mulligan, near Lawtonville, S. C., yesterday, to arrest a party of ne groes for beating a colored man. Af ter the arrest was made, the posse was surrounded by an armed body of blacks, and two whites, named Wm. Sherman and Abe Deloache, were shot. Sherman’s body was found this morning, with his head chopped open. ()\r, TiI,MEN VOTE FUO.H OIIEUOX. HOW RADICAL JUGGLING IN THE SOUTH MAY BE DEFEATED. i San Francisco, Nov. 13.—A press | dispatch from Salem, Oregon, says it is announced by the Democrats here to-day that the following pro : gramme will be carried but in refer j ence to the case of J. W. Watt, Presi ! dential Elector on the Republican ticket, who was Postmaster of Lafay i ette. The law of Oregon provides that the Secretary of State, in the ! presence of the Governor, shall count i the votes, and give to the persons having the highest number of votes a certificate of election, giving the | Secretary no power except to count the votes and issue certificates, but | it is asserted a writ will be served on j the Secretary, issued out of the Su- I preme Court, enjoining the issuance ! of the certificate to Watts, and giv | ing it to the highest Elector on the Democratic ticket.

THK Ell HOP KAN SITUATION. London, Nov. I(s.—Correspondents any the entire contingent foroe of the Russian army has been sent out of the Polish provinces for service in Held. Russian garrisons remain in Warsaw and other Tollsli cites. A number of Russian offiocrs who lu ted to quit Belgrade, have been or dered to remain. London, Nov. 17.—A Reuter dis patch from Rt,. Petersburg says the (tzar, addressing his Generals and officers at the close of a review, on Wednesday, said: “Gentlemen, lei us wish the best success to the com manders of our armies.” The Czar’s words were received with enthusi astic oheering. All freight traffic has been stopped since yesterday on the railways be tween Warsaw and Terespot, Kiev and Brest, Moscow and Brest, Tam boiT and Sara toff, Graese and Zarizyn, Charkoff and NicolaiciT, and Moscow and Kosloff. Renter’s telegram from Constanti nople says: According to reliable in formation, an extraordinary cabinet council will be held here to morrow to detinitcly decide respect ing the question of a conference, the British cabinet having renewed its energetic demand on that subject. | 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. a nkktcii with a uoii w. attach i:i> 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 to-nidht I’ve made a break. I held it not so bad a place after all. I may come again, if I have sufficient motive for coming. I want my friend hero to see how young men of the present day pass their even ings in Innocent game-, so that when she Is tempted to marry she mry know what to expect Good evening all. And Mrs. Amanda Bottle and hr friend swept past the bewildered Thomas out into the open ll *From that day forth Thomas Bottle was a Changed man. He never tells his wife >, lias an engagement to meet a friend down town, lie never enters a saloon, for a vision haunts him still. He walks through life temperate, industrious and respected, and tiis only desire is that the Legislature will permit him to change his name.
