But that diversion really damaged them more than it did the Republicans in this sounty. WISCONSIN. HUATES' MAJOMITY. Special Dispaich te The Triduns.

I, Minor. Waushara County nlone loses 2,080 for Downs by this mis- tako in the blanks. It is not Mkely that the ag- gregate Juss by this mistake will be sufficlently Jarge o defest Mr. Duwns, but it will make the returns in his vase unpleasantiy close. KENTUUKY, Al OFPICIAL BETURNS.

HOW THE WHITE LEAGUD ACHIEVED A TRIUMPI, dackon (Mise) Pilnt, In 1874 the bulldozers of Vicksburg drove tho colored people away and took undisputable pos- sessfon of the polls, and at all times thereafter, when opportunity offered, they never falled to murder negroes, At the Fourth of July cele- Dbration In 1875, they broke up the meete and kitled or drove all the peaple away that lind ns- sembled there for the purpose of celebrating the auniyorsury of the day the indepemience ot this glorious country was groclnh The peo- Qlu 1l most parta of the Htate, scelng that at Vicksburg the Democratscould murderand drive people with perfect impunity, pursued the sume course, until, by the tine the canvass of 1875 was closed, they llad not only taken the City of Vicksburg and Warren County, but other countles had followed their example, and they tovk posscsslon of the State Government. In some counties they were a llttie doubt ful as to whether the vlan would work,—~fear- Ing that the United States Govermment might make some objection,—and made compromises, giving tho Republivans a portion. Madlson County was one; and when thoy saw that the United Btates Governmont did not intorfere, they wero 50 mnd ot themselves to think thal they had been so timid, they resolved that no Republican should spesk in Madison County, and no voteshould be cast in that county In this Centennlal year, and have kept these reso- lutlons pretty well, as thero have beon several attempts by the Republicans to speak in tho county, and but one was ailowed. Through chanee thero were fifty Republican votes cast In that county, We presume those wero cast by negroes wiio had promised to vote the Demo- cratie ticket through fear, but when they came to deposit their tickets made an inténtlonal mistake and cust the Itepublican ticket, which they had in thele pockets. Yazoo County, with n registered Kepublican majority of 1,500, casts but two Republican votes {n the” whale county. ‘The reports from many towns and some coun- tlea aro that they are unanimously Democratie. At many voting-precinets Democrats went among the colored people and told them it they wonld vate the Detmocratie ticket they might vote, out, If they were determined to cost a Re- m|l.|lhn|| ballot or none,’" they shouid not vote atull, At other precinets, when a colored man approached the polis, If ho desired to voto ths Republivan ticket they would look over the books and could not thud his name at all, or, if they did, it would oceupy half an hour to do so and, It the next voters tuat would como should bei line of Domorats, they could vote very fast; but, showd a Republican get in, thoy would keep him waiting ill o llne of Democrats had fermed behind him, crowding out Ropubli- cang, At other pluces they touk the negroes from thelr plantations, Ml so many llsrl»umeru, nnd, with well-armed guards, marched them to the polla and comvelied them to cast Demo- cratic_ballots, not permitting o murmur, as though thuy were so muu{ Stato prisoners. Fur scyoral nights previous to election the on- thusiustic younys men were riding over the coun- try, visiting colured ‘pcurlo and threatening i thicy catne to the pofis to vote the Repablican ticket they would bokilled, andin some instances would inquire for lcmllngi( colored Rexnbllcnns, saylng they intended to kil them. * As yet, wo lave not hicard of any being kitled, but {u most iustancea the leading colored people did not spend o night at thelr own homes forn week previous to the election,—as soon as night camo they would elther go to soine trustworthy friend whom the enthusiastie young men would nop suspeet, and stay with him, returning near day- lignt, or gzo to thu woods, The returns ure now cotning in trom the Democrats that everything passed off r\u!ut on clectionday, *which it did,” 1ur they had done thelr belliskk work beforo tho (hll’, of election, emocruts chalmthere was never o moro peacefu] election held in Mississippl. Wa must dilfer with them; we are of opinion that thers never was & Btate election carrled whereso much traud, Intimidation, and terrorism wus perpe- trated—not oven U clection of 1875, ulthough more murdera were committed that year, for then Republicans buwoaml they would FEL AOMO protection, and would contemd for their rights; ut when they learned they would have no pro- tectlon, but must cither submit or take up arms l defend themaclves, und not wishing to kill even in aclf<defense, they had to submit, and be driven about and act as the Democracy were de- termined they should, TILI8 WON’T DO. EXTRAOUDINARY BTATEMENTS CONCERNING TIB LOUISIANA RETURNING BOARD, Special Dispatch to ihe Cincinnats Commerclat, New OrLeans, Nov, 14.—~Unless Florida saves Tildew, his chances are bad, for Loufsfaua will almost certaluly bo counted for Ilayes by the highest legal suthority,~the Returning Board. After thorough nvestigation and close obsery- anco of the drift of matters, Tam eatlsfled that the Hoard will give the State to Iayes by a major- ity of not lesa than 1,00, Thby will throw ot the Jlve (four) parishes where the blacks were a0 thor- oughly intimidated. They will likely restore to thess parishes the proper Iiepublican naforities which they had two years ago, or something near it. ‘These parishics in 1574 gave a Republican majority of 8,970, and thia year a Democratic major- ity of 4,418, showing a net Demnceratic gain of | over 8,000. This was accomplished by Intim- {dation,—by forcing negroes to votu the Demo- eratle ticket or not vote at all. Restore to thuse parishes thy Republican mujoritics they would havo ob a free clection, and the Democratic ma- Jority all melts away, and IAYES HAS TIB 8TATS, From the best Information I can get this will be done. Thousands of individunl aftidavits from these parishes, setting forth fully tho facts of inthmivation, have been already filed, The Bourd will consider them, and take all tho facts carefully into consideration. They will also hear oral testimony, snd go for the bottom fucts. The black registered vots of Loulstany 1s more than 10,000 i excess of the white rewistered vote. After making sll alluwances for ¢rrors and black Democrats, it (s plain that the State {s Republican on a falr vote, The Democrats ouly have the majority beeause they revolutionized five parishes by intimidation. ‘This will be so fully sud conclusivily set out butors the Heturning Bourd that thers can be 1o doubt of the result. The Board Is EXCLUSIVELY NEFUNLICAN, no Democrate upon ft, but the one existing va- cancy may be filled by a Demoert. The pros- ent members ure Wells, Anderson, aud two ne- grovs, Charges that Wells and Anderson are disquallfied are freely made, but there seems to be no legal way to remove thew, There isa great deal of talk on the strects to-day about large amounts of money belug used to {nfu- enco the Board, The freedom with whleh it ls discusscd shuws the demoralizution of the tmes.

Ate tempts are mude to get them to resign, but without success. The black population are ununlinously of the opinlon dml. Wiey must have sepresentation on the Board Ti1s EXTRAGRDINARY CIuisis, Many of the Northern visitors arv astonished und “discouraged ut the conditton of thiugs, They find bere, for instauce, fn the five {ntial. aated parishes the nuinber of white reglstered votea i 6,074 sud black 12,004 or wore then double. Northern men shako tholr heads munl&;&mn finding that 5,000 voters have ran off 14,00, They say It will Le hard to make this uniderstond tn the North, It 1 likely that tho Returning Buard wiil be many weoks wres- tling with the ease, but thelr declsfon wil al- niost certainly te that Ilnyes has the State. The sarfuco fndieat slioy _that plainly enough. In that event leading Democrata say tho whole anestion will be thrown into Con- gress, aml Congreas will not allow the Btate to be connted for Jluyea when the election returns upon their face nre for Tilden. Busincss men, wiho do not make, their living fn politics, nre miutch dircouraged, sceing no solution to the difficulties, Privately they aro satisficd to have troops liere, as withont them there would be great danger of riuting and bloodshed, Neveral compnnies are quartercd in the Custom-Houss ana Mochanies Inatitute. The Returning Buasd will liave asmple protec- tlon durlng their deliberations, Looking over the pronnd carefully, [ nm perfectiy well satls- fied that the Keturnfng Board will give Hlaycaa majority of not lesa than 1,100, and their de- tinlon is inal, 8o far 0s the Stato s concerned.

ANOTIIER DISPATCHN Avectal DipateA ta the Cincinnatf Commercial, Nzw Ontrans, Nov. 1411 p. m.—~Northem Detmocrats, in conference here, unsnimously ex- pressed the opinion that the Returning Board would’ count in Hayes regardless of facts and consequences, Sam Randall says the whole question will come before Congress, and that Loulsiana’s fraudulent and unconstitutional Re- .turning®oard cannot prevent the fnnuguration of Tilden, Tho same was talked about on the strect, but the universal oplafon is expressed that Northern Domocrats must lead off in ag- greasive measures, and that the South will up- hold them in whatever nction they may take. Both partfes are caucusing and conferring to- night, Kellogg saya tho Stato is Republican, and will remain so. All Louislana Republicans are in bizh epirits, apparently baving no doubts of the actlon of the Returning Bonrd. Ad- dltfonnl troops nrrived to-night. Garfleld and Kelley are expeeted to-night.

Therofs no question in my mind but what Loulstana {8 Kepublican on o fair vote, and the Returning Board will so consider {t and count Iayesin. To ternfuato tho suspense of tho country, they will first count thoe Presidential vote, and gek through with it as svon as posst- ble. I V. RepriELp. THE REBEL YELL.
