STATEMENT BY GOV. KELLOGG. NEW ORLEANS, La., Nov. 10.—Guv. Kellogg Turnishies the followlug statement to the Assu- ciated Press reganding the election: \’u&y few oflicial returns have been recelsed outside the city by the Secretary ot State, the proper custodian. Unoflicial statements have been * received and published here ot tteen l{crubllmu and thirteen Democerntic parishes, besides tho city, l.\\-muf-c(em. out. of llfty-seven of which may be called tolerably reliable. Other par- {shics are catinated by cach side, and tho State {s clatned, according to each estimate, by both siues. The Democrats only clafm the State by estimating the . Republican parishes of Lust und West Fellcluna, Enst Baton Rouge, Moorchouse, und Ouachita as huving given them, as they claim, nearly 4,000 majority, Noone can dlshute that these purishes were OVERRUN AND INTIMIDATED by armed bands of thowWhite League beforo and on the day of clection, 'Thiese parishes have aolways been largely © Republican. The regisivation In - these partshes s white, 8,683; black, 8,509, They gave me 3,000 majorlty in 1672 by the returns of fuston Dem- ocratlc "Board, anil they gave the Republican candidate 8,000 majority in 1574, us conceded by tho Democratic State Committeo, In Ouichita u Department United States Marahal was killed on cieetion-day, the polls taken posscesion of and run by the White Luagte. In Esst Feliclana NOT A BINGLE LEPUBLICAN VOTE wos nllowed to be.polled. The Repudlicans wero not allowed to ruda ticket, Thus purish is next to the Misslssippl Line, and has been turbu- lent more or Iess sluce the Democrats got posscasion of Misalssippl. Tu this partsh [ ot over 300 majority fn 1572, and in 1874 the epubljeans carricd the parish bfi mory than 1,000 majurity. The vate clafined Dy the Demo- crats in these parishies was procured by INTIMIDATION, VIOLENCY, AND ASSASSINATION, and the proof of this is overwholiniug sud per- feetly eonclusive. Notwlthstanding the claimed vote in these parishes, we confldently believe we hove carried the State. Tha Democrats never claimed to have earried the Btate by but atout 4,000 in 1874, THEY ADMIT that we lave gafned fu the city alone 2,000 votes over the vote uf 18374, They adiit that wo have carrled Iberfa, Bt.. Martin, Assum ptlon, Tupides, Caddo, Webster, Lefourche, ol ready lieard from, which thoy carried in 1874, They adinit that we huve incressed our mujorities ‘in Bossier, Wrerson, Tensas, Con- cordld, Natchitoches, l'lar}uumhw, and St Charles. Of course, none of those arc official. ‘There are only about twenty parishes accessible by rall or telezraph, and th ofllcial vote of sev- eral of the remote parishies CANNOT BE JMAD FOI PIVE OR BIX DAYS, ‘The result will probably be close, counting the votu {n the tivebulldozed parishies, as the Demo- crats claim. Not counting these parishes the Re- nbllcans will bo d“sgflvud of o legitumate wia- jorlty of nearly 4,000, In po coutingency can the Demoerats have carrfed tho State, It will dot be -denled that with scarce an exception in the .horotofore Republican *mrhbu, exeept the five bulldored puristics, the Republicans have gatned over their maojority in 1874, Neither can it be denfed that the colored people voted the Republicun ticket with, if pos- sible, more unanimity than over before. When tho results of this clection are investigated in detall and 1 AM REJOICED that in the pending exigency they will be the Republicons of Loutslauy; thelr trials, thelr Qif- fleultles, and the injustice they havo so long labored under, will_be better understood and appreclated by the peoplu of the Nortti.

The remalning fourteen parishes fn 1574 gave 1,402 Democratle majority, These parishes are confldently relied upon to Increase thelr Repub- lican vote, but it is not impossible that the re- sult MAY RINGE UPON THOSE FIVE PARISHES. In that event the Louisiuna Returning Board must be sustained, ora few hundred Ku-Klux riding about the country, shooting and'whipping negroes, and driving out white Republicans will have elected a President of the United States, The war feeling baa run very hizh, aud the Democrats of the North by telegrams and oth- erwise are fauning the flames. It would not be surprising If, in case the Returning Board takes auy nction whatever, thero should bo a revolu- tion here, and what fess United States troops thero arc here be made prisoners or run out of town, Thercis no public oplnfon in the Nuith to be affected now, and {t is threatencd every- where that Hell witl be loose if Louisiana is not given to the Democrats.

The Chamberlsin correspondence amonnted to this; *1 will carry Sonth Carolina tor Hoyes I you carry Loulslans.' The Govern- ors of Loulslana and of Sonth Caroliua, when It was thonght that the clection of Tilden depended on these States, en- tered into a mutual agreement to return their States for Tlaycs by any meane. The above containe a grave charge, And reems to have been made with deliberation. It In every ward untrue, 1 nve sent no dispatch to Gov.

Special Dispatch $o The Tribune, Waamixaton, D. C., Nov. 10.—Hcnator Pat- terson has arrived here from South Carnling. He camo chiclly for,the purpose of ascertalning the results of the nativnal electlon, as it had been utterly impossible to learn the truth at Charleston, Untll ho arrived at Petersburg he had supposed from the private and.Democratic press reports that Tllden had carried Wisconsin, Tilinols, and all the Pacific Coast States} but he had heard nowhere in 8outh Carolina the claim made by Democrats here that Tilden or Hamp- ton had carried that State. Ho did not know until to-day that such a claim was made. Demo- crats yesterday In Charleston refused to take bets on o majority of 10,000 for Chamberlain. Tatteraon anys that there isno ground fordoubt that the Republivans have carried South Caro- finn. Gov. Chamberlain's private telegram from Columbla this cvening confirms this clalm, It appears that the only possible basis for the Democratic clalins for carrying the Statels the assumned majorities in the river countles along the Georgla border. In some of thesc counties there aro BUT PLW POLLING-PLACES, and in oll of them there are but three companies of United States troops. At all poiling-places near which there were mo troops Scnator Patterson nsscrts that the Dem- ocrats polled lurge numbers of votes from re- peaters who came over the Georgla lne. . The {ricreased majoritics lu these border countles, it bad been hoped by the Democrats, might give Hampton a chance of success, but Gov, Cham- berlain says there I8 no doubt that, conceding all that the Democerats claim for these counties, the Republicans still huve the State by 10,000 majority; without conceding, the Republicaus claim to have a majority of 20,000, THE ELECTION LAW. The law relative to thevountinzof the votes!s very severe and strict. [t was cnacted at the time of the Kp-Klux troubles, and was designed to give the ballot-box the utmost possible protee- tiou. The provess is this: On the day of elec- tion local election officers count the votes and make a certlficate of the returns. The ballots are sealed In thelr boxes, and the certificate of returns I8 sealed In o scparate package. There is no ofticlal copy Kept of it. These are returned to the County Election Commissfoners. These County Election Commissioners canvess the vote, listen to charges of irregularitics, and cor- rect themn. Thelr special duty is to see whether the certificates of the returns amree with the number znd character of the votes in the hoxes, The County Commissioners trans- mit the certitleate with “their commients to the State Board of Canvisscrs, retaining themselves the ballot-boxes, The return of “the Cuunty Canvassers is cencrally consldered ollicial, but ft is not fiual till aiter its examination and proval by the State Board of Cunvassers. Tho Intter liave the right to supervise the entire count, and to send for the balot-buxes if neces- sary. ‘The County Canvassers will canvass the county returns ou next Tucsday., Until then the exact official reault will not he known. Any aunvunced officlal returns before that time must be made up tromn private memorands, which are not offictal. The State Bourd of Can- vassers wilt not comnmence thelr canvass before ONE WEEK FROM NEXT SONDAT. Until that tine the formal oflivial announce- m:‘;i‘ of the result in Bouth Carollns will not be made. & Senator Patterson says that the riot in Charleston was & very serious sffalr, and that frown thirty to fifty men were wounded on both sides. The riot originated in au attack made by the Democrats upun a white Republican be- cause the latter, with some negroes, bud ven- tured to hurrah for Hayes. Tha colored people had pot interfered with the Democrats thronlie out the catire day when the, Intter. had been shouting for Tilden, but upon the reception of tho tirst dispatch stating that Hayes wns possi- bly elected, the Democrats cominenced thelr fire. ‘the colored men, after exhausting thelr sinall arms, retired to their houses, and obtain- ed guns. ‘Chey formed m regulur tne of battle TIFTEEN HUNDRED BTRUNG and drove the White-Liners with their rifies, who also_fornicd in battle tine for two eatire Llocks, The United States troops mot behind the riflo cluba, when the latter opencd ranks and ajlowed the troops Lo come between them and the tegroes, ‘Tho latter then ceased firlng, The whites made urgent appenls to the troopa for protection. Imdced tho white Democrats requested that troops be stationed at thie polls in some of the coast counties, which the Repub- lieans o no_Instance did. The only troops at the polls in South Caroliua were there at the re- quust of the Democrats.
