TIE COUNT. Special Dispatch to The Triduns Nnw Onneans, Nov. 20—10 p. m,—The busi. ness before the Returning Board, detafled in the Associated Press dispatches, was unimportant, as from the three parlshes considered there were no protests or contests. All the contested parishes will, in accordance with law, be left for consideration until the returns from all un- contested parishes’ have been completed In the three parishes canvassed - to-day—Assump- tion, Ascenston, and Avoyelles—there were ro- turned to the Legisinture three Republicans and three Democrats, where last year there were six Democrats. © MOST INGENIOUS DIABOLISS!. As reports coms in from the country parishes, the facts hecome very evident that a systematic policy has been ndopted by the Democrats in all those strong Republican districts which bave properly been denominated as “bull- dozed.” The history of one is the history of nearly all. Colored Republicans were not simply intimidated into refralning from voting the Republican ticket, but were cocreed fnto voting the Democratie ticket. The colored Republie- nus were first mustered into Democratle clubs on the pretext that they would be allowed to vote o8 they pleased, but it would be necese sary for them tq helong to these clubs in order to be protected from the “bail-dozers,” which, by the way, Is o name which theso rough-riters TIEMSELVES ADOPTED AND ORIGINATED in East Feliclana Purish during the last sum- mer. They were then adminlstered an oath, which they generally understood to mean some- thing clse, but which was really o support the Democratic candidates, After becoming tnem- Lers of tho clubs, they were compelled to at- tend all the mncetings, under penalty of belng taken from thelr cabius at night and flozged, or sometimes shot. When Re- publlcan mectings were held, the buli- dozers would patrol the rosds and warn colored men not to attend. In somo cases colared men finally took the chances of voting the Republican ticket, and have stnce been drive en from their homes. There are hundreds of these refugees fu tho city, some of whom have lefs thelr wives and children unprotected, and thelr little crops of cotton, which are gonerally rafsed un the share system, stunding ungathered in the fleld. Tho statements show such y A REMAREABLE SXNILAI-XTK in the made pursued in creating Democratlc voters out of Repnblicans that {t can leave no aoubt that the movement® was preconcocted, and {n consonance with the coufidential circular of Chatrmau Patton, of the Democratic Central Commlitee.

TUE INKEGULAR TICKETS, &pectat Dispateh (o The Triduna Wasmineroy, D, C., Noy. 20.—Information hero in regard to the omission of some of the names of Electors from the Republicau batlots in one parish {n Lonisians {8 to the etfect that not cnough ot such ballots appear to affect the result fu that parish, ali the Electors having a majorfty even It these incomplete ballots shatl be thrown out. It s not believed,owever, that fu any event the Returning Buand would throw themn aside, siuce the House has dechded here, all the Democrats concurring, that it Is perfect~ Jy competont and legal to take into con- slderation the evidont intent of the voter in casting his ballot when it Is found to bo Incomplete or fnformal. In the Forty-second Congress the Republican Election Committes made o unsnimous report in favoer of this Democratic sitting member in theé case of McKenzie, Republican, vs. Bruxton, Democrat, trom the Seventh Virginta District. The ques. tlon considered at length in the report was this of giving tull weight to tho cvident inteut of a voter where tho ballot was Incomplete or Inace curate. All the Democrata in the Houss agreed to the doctrine, und the House, un the report of the Republican Committey, voted to not even Pay the expenses of the contestant who sought his scat ou the pround of several hundred tn- correet ballots bemyg thrown for the suceessinl caudidate, McCrary Is aceepted the authority here on contested electtons, all holding the same views as the House fn the above case {u regard ta rocelving and counting the voteaof sll Repub- ligpus who actually uttempted to vote in the timidated partshes, and were prevented by violeuce or oilers of violence. The authuntics are abundant as to the right to accept such votes upen proper proof of belng prevented frum voting on the day of electicn. ‘The action of the Democrats scems to prace tically concede the Stato to the Republicans. They must concede it 1f the votes socurcd by them by futimidation are not counted. They have not the slightest basls for hope without these votes are counted. The suggestion of & svimprowlse, which comes from Democtatls sources, indicates thehopelessnessof their cause. ‘The proposition is that * TIAYES AND NICIOLLS SUALL DR COUNTED iN, This proposition s in itself fllegal, as the dutles of the Returning Board ars judicial. That Board Is not comppsed of ouctloncers, whoe have the vote of the State to scll to the highest bidder, or who will con- sent to encourage any compromise under threats of revolution, The returns from forty out of fiftyscven parislies have been recelved. ‘Those eliow about 8,000 Republican majority, ‘Tuere will be conteats in at least twelve parlshe es.

TIE RETURNING DOARD'S QUARTERS, New Onuzans, Nov, 20~2:80 p, m.—At the State House, the Senate Chamber and ita sur- roundings betoken the approaching session of the Returning Board, In the middle of the apartinent were arranged three tables In a cir- cle, oue for the Returning Board and the othe crs for the Republican and Democratic Commit- tees. ‘The corridors surrounding the rotunda were closed by barricades, guarded by Asslstant Scrgeants-at-Arms. A squad of police wero statloned {n the near vicinlty of ‘the Scnate Chamber, In order to be on hand in case of o disturbance, ‘Towurds noon the Repuhblican and Democratic Committees entored the room, The represent- ative llepublicans were Messrs, Tuttle, Garfleld, Bhermav, Hale, and Stoughton; and for the Democrats appeared Messrs, Trumbull, Palmer, Bigler, G. B. 8mith, G, W, Julian, and Watson. The Returning Beard has detérmined to ex- clude during the exccutive seseion nll persons. except the menibers of the National Comnlt. tees. The counsel will only be called in when contests are ralsed,—~that fs, wherc a contest has been filed or accompanles the returns. The counsel will not be allowed to examine the re- turns when opened, and mearly to witness the unseallng of the packages. The Democratlc Cominittee on Returns will have a room in the neighborhood of the I1all of Representatives, in order to be within easy reach of the Sennte Chamber. Each of the Natjonal Committees arg accompanied by a phouographer to take the proceedings for thelr respective commitices, When the Board goes Into exceutive sesslon, members of the press will be excluded, The scssion sof the Board will contitiue from day to day, from 10 o'clock in the morning till 41n the afternoon. The clerks of the Board were posted fn a room back of the Senate Chamber. Local committees representing Demoerats aud Republicans were present at the executive session, THE DOARD MET AT 12:30, with all the members present. The minutes were read and adopted. Gov, Wells stated that o system of rules for the government of the Board had been adopted. The rules were read.

The effect of this has been exceedingly disphiting to such Northern Democrats as have Iately arrived, and who came having full fulth fn the false tigures which had been gent North. Many Democrats have given up the contest as lost. It is belleved that o plan has been ou foot to capture returns from some remote precinets which the Demo- cruts know to be favorable to the Republieans, and measures have been taken to guand these returns until they can be protected by troops while on thelr way to the Capital, It ts believed hero that the arrival of the returns from four of the remaining Democratle counties, and the unfavorable showing ther muke for the opposi- tion, has carrled the Republicaus by the point where Democratic manfputations of the balance of the returns can give the Republicans serfous trouble. It has become clear that HAYES 1IA8 AN HONEST MAJORITY of the entire vote of the State. /The returns from the back country dlstricts have disap- poluted the Democruts.

C., Nov, 20.—Scveral of the Democratic watchers have returned from South Carolina. They report that they were greatly surprised at the Indifference of the Democrats In that State to Tilden. They scemed to care nothing for him in comparison to Hampton. They still cherish bitter feelings towards Northe ern Democrats for consplring with them to ac- complish secession, and then giving them noald whatever when thelr move resulted in war, Thesegentlemen say Southern Democratshaveno idea of dolng the least thing looking to nnother war. They and thelr people have bad enoughof that,and the leaders among thein speak fn great derision of the utterances from Northern Demo- cratic sources which smack of war. They say it was just so with their Northern fricnds before, up to the time when thelr assistance wus wauted in the fleld, The only hopes of the Democrats are placed in the Bupreme Court. All serfous claims that the State has gone for “Tilden must be aban- doned, If the Democrats open up the subject of throwing out fraudulent votes in any une county, as they have fntliated they would do in Bufurd County, thelr case is hopeless, for there are at least two countics in which ENONMOUS DEMOCKATIC FRAUDS can be proved, These sre Barnwell and Edge- fiedd, In Edgefield the returns show mure Demotratic votes than thereare voters fu the county. Tilden has no chauce for opening up this question and grolng behind the returns, Hawmpton's hope hus been placed in the de- ciston of the Supreme Court, The Democrats rely upon the personal hostility of Chlef-Justice Moses to Gov. Chamberlain to iufiuence bfs ac- tion ns Judge. They RELY UPON HATRED AND MALICE ns motives of judfelsl action. Gov.’ Chamber- laln, it will be remembcered, once refused to cer- tify to the election of the son of Justice Meses us & Judge. The Democrats, whe greatly praised him for his reform, are now branding him os little better than n bandit. The Democratic lope is that the Supreme Court will direct that the rcturns for the Governor and State oflicers be sent to the Leg- istature, They claim that this should be done under a provision of the Constitution which they insist gives the Leglslature the authority to determine as to the election of State ofticers, This {s contrary to every precedent {u the State. In the Legislature, on the face of the roturns, the Democrats now have a majority of one, und, on the face of the returns, IHampton aund Gleaves, the Lieutenant-Governor, have smatl najorities, but there arc fraudulent returns, from one or two counties, which, if purged ‘would destroy Ilampton's majority.
