This morn- Ingz tho Court made an order commanding the Board to fssuc certificates of clection to all the persons who were shown by the roport of tho Board to have received the highest number of votes for members of the Leglslature, Including tho Counties of Edgofleld aud Laurens. The Court also to-day took up the caso of the Electors, and Issued o rule on the Board to show causs why they should not correet the statement of the County Canvassers by tho preelnet returns fu thelr possession. Tending these proceedings of the Court, how- ever, tho Board hold o session and {ssued certifi- cates to all the members of the Loglalature, ox- cept for Laurcns and Edgtield Countles, thus securing the majority of the Legislature to the Republican elde, und the defeat of Hamuton and clectlon of Chomberlain. ‘The Board also {ssucd certificates of clection to the Hayes and Wheeler Electors, and to all the Republiean State ticket. The Board then adjourned sine die. This action of tho Boant has created much ex- citenent, but the citlzens aro detormined to rely upon the Courts sud exhaust all legal means of rudress.

N. Cullom, Independent and Re- publican candlidate for Judge of the Fifth Dis- trict Court, demanding that the votes cast for hitm {n the Sixth and Scventh Districts of the City of New Orleans be counted. ‘This ralsean very nice question, so far os judicial and parish offlcera aro concerned, and the judiclal officers arc important from a political polnt of view, The Btxth and Seventh Districts of New Or- leans were formerly Jeflerson City and Carrollton, and were part of the Parish of Jefferson, but, by legislative ensct- ment, were anncxed to the Clty of New Orleans, and, Judge Cullom clalins, to the Parish of Orleans. The Republican tickets for these districts wore all printed with the full clity, parish, and judicial nominatfons thereon, and were voted that way, The Demo- cratle ticket, on the contrary, did not contaln theso officers. 1t the Board should decide these to be legal votes, it {a provable the entire Repubilcan parochial and judiclal ticket s clected, OUTSIDERS, The Board rigldly Lnsists on excluding from its rooms while transacting business everybody but distinguished strangers, A subordivate sent. a letter to ex-Gov.

But the col- ored peaple bear what white people would not endure for g day, and they aro the victima of their dodlity amd their forbearance.

Kpectal Dispatch to The Triduns, ‘Wasmnaron, D. C., Nov. 22.—Jorgensen, Republican canaldate in the Fourth Virgluls District, is here. It {s evident that he had o mujority of 5,000, and that the Virginta Demo- crats have determined to count bim out. This was dono by a system of the most fugenlous nnd desperate rascality. Thore arc somo sixty- cight precincets in the district. At twelve of these precincts the Democratic judges ap- ‘pointed what thoy called twelva Republican inspectors ..of eloction. In the other, districts the Inspectors were all Democrats. The Republicans themsclves say that they never knew that these twelve even wero Republicans. The majority of 5,000 was overcome by throwing out the votes ot four entire counties upun the fidlest pretense of irregularity in the returns.

Inquiry at the War Department to-day shows that Bascom has made no recent teport, but there are reports from othor army ofllcers who lave ofiiclally visited that parish showing the most outrageous intimidation. Capt. Bascom, morcover, on accouunt of his soclul relations, is well kuown to bemorein sympathy with the White League and the Democrats than with the Republicans, THAT CORPORAL'S GUARD, The storles that the troops were ordered here feom approheneious of a disturbanco at the thno of the Democratic procession on the 20th aro wild and false. It was not kuown ut tno War Department when the troops were ordered here there was to be such a procession, The Secretary of War and Gen. Sherman are annoy- ¢d ut tho excitement throughout the couns try, and the scneational rumors voncern- ing these troops. This annoyance fs, perhaps, iu part due to thelr persisteut denlal of focts which subsequently became evidont. It was the manner in which they causod the troops to bu brought hiere, rather than the arrival of the troops thiemsclvos, that produced tho com- motlon. Thecight batterics now here, although technically known as basteries, becauso thoy arc component’ parts of artillery regiments, have not a singlo field-plece among them.

Yesterday morning a gentlemnn at the Grand Paclfic Hotel secetved u fetter rrom New Or- leans, dated Nov. 18, written by u gentleman of known veracity and a conservative Republican careful of what hie writes or spenks, He atates that ho belleves the iepublicans are masters of the situation fy Loulslana, and there can be but lttle doubt as to how the voto has goneln that State. He says the Republicans are to be protected and * not to be put down by a pack of howling Rebels and Northern Domo- cratic putty-men.’! p ME THEX GORS ON TO BAY: Coroxgt.: 1conld not, in one weck, write all tho horrible dotails of outrageous wrongs and crimes committed und practiced by theso infermal Ttebel cut-throats upon the Unlon men and their famillcs fn this State. 1was {mn(cnuy talking in — —'s officc witli the Unfted States Inspactor of Blectlon, wholsa resldent of Ouschita Parlah,and has beon & resident of the State for thirty years, Il 1s alse Btate Tax Collector of that parish, and sl United Btates Land Recelver,—n man af 1ntelll- zencn, and highly respected. 1o s to be o witness cfote the Board of Canvasners, e told me yes- terday that ho and tho 8heriffof Ouachita in'the commencement of the canvars commenced the or- finnlu!lun of the colored Republicans in Ounchita ‘arish, nod had nearly completed the nrk'lnlznllnn. when they were notified that, unless thoy discon- tinued their cfforts, they would be killed by the Democratic **boll-dozers.' 1o sald that the 8herlll was n .non of pluck, and paid no attention to the threate, and that whilo he was on his way to dlr:imsr one day he was met by several mounted men an RILLED ON THE STREET No sattempt was, or could be, made to apprehend or puniell the murderers. 1o euid these mounted men would ride through tho negro quarters and tell iliem that they must join Democratlc clubs and vote the Democratic ticket or they could not live. e rald that in this \!l{ many darkles, to save their own 1ives, wero oblized 1o comply with this demand.

Tho above facts are true, and the victlns of many of thess actsof cruclty are here on the ground to testify beforo the Canvassing Lioard, and thoso who are living to show their wounds and the manner in which they wero treated. And Palmer and Trumbull are here to put them down sud upologize for these cut-thruat bull- dozers, who have perpetrated theso crimes, ond are golng nbout at lurge, proud of thelr acts, withi- ont having the least foar of being dealt with for fear of anything they have done. .

TUESH COWARDS TAKE APFIDAVITS IN BLANK, cortify{ng that no lutiridation was used, ond that the nogroes yoted the Domocratic ticket frecly aund voluntarily; take a colored Justice nf tho Peace inta a wagon and go to necro qnacters, and not al- lowing tho Justice to explain the afidavits; have those poor creatures vigu theso ductments, without knowing wiat they were, by tho hundreds. And Paliner und Trumbull are to present these afildavits ta the Canvassing Boord to prove that the eloction in this State was peaceful and that no Intimidation was uscd !
