FIRST DISPATCH, Bpecial Dispatch to The Trivuns, Nrw OnLzaxs, Dee. 5—4:95 p. m.—Up to this hour the Roturning Hoard has not made its final declsion, but is hard ot work. The conclusion will be reachod and the result given to tho pub- lie prabably by 0 o'clock to-night. What that decision will be I do not believe any human be- Ing could say positively, for the members of tho Board are as closo as oysters, and will not givea hint ns to thelr action, Stlll, the strength of the case which the Republicans have presented, and the law bearing on it, warrants tho confidence which the Republicans manifest. I have fust returncd from the Btate-House, where, in the Senate Chamber, the Board Is still in sessfon. There is no crowd or excitement In the neigh- borhood, but tho entranco to the Chamber s closely guarded by Metropolitan Pollcs to pro- vlde agalnst s possible surpriso. The members of the Doard wero not to be scen by the news- paper fraternity on account of the press of business. A STATEMENT will be transmitted by the Associated Press to- night setting forth the rensons of the Board for the decisfons arrived at. 2 SECOND DIRPATCH—THE HAYES ELECTORS RE- TURNED, Bpecial Dispatch to The Tribune. NEeWw OuLeans, Dee. 5.—The chlld fs born. The great caso is decided. The verdict hias been revdered. The Democracy, which hos been for the past three weeks ou trlal before the country on the charge of the attempted larceny of the Government of the Stato of Loutslana and of the Unlted States, by the process known as “bulldozing,” has been found gullty, und the property placed Inthe hands of its rightful owners by the court which had lawlul jurledie- tlon over that species of crimo—the Loulsiana Returniug Board, Tho verdict s & most right- cous one. Itcould mot love been rendered aiflerently without the judges had confessed themselves flatly gullty of perjury and false to the oath ‘they took to uphold the Election law under which thoy wers created, No thief caught in the act ever had his gullt fastened upon him more clearly than have the Loulsinua Democrats fmthis great case. The Returning Board has vefused to compile the votes of certain polls throughout tha Btate, but it has not doue so except upon the most clear and undisputable evi- dence that thevolco of thepeople has been sup- pressed at such polls and the election thereat vitlated by intimidation, tumult, riot, or acta of violence. In such casca the law of this State f{a clear and pousitive, that tho poll must not be complled. TIN RETORNS have just bean completed, and will to-morrow morning be ofclolly promulgated in the New Orleans Jftgpublican, the ofliclal organ of tho 8tate.

In this case, however, the white people in the neighhorbiood were calmly indifferent, and no Coroner's Jury was even held. CAPT. LIALE, ‘The testimony of Capt. and brevet Lieut.-Col. Clayton Hale, Bixtcenth United States Infantry, who since Sept. 24 was the commanding officer of Mouroe and Ouachita Parlshes, s most damaging to the Democracy of that scction, who scarcely attempt a defense in the attempted murder of Ben Junes, Eaton Log- wood, and George Bhelton, who were shot and left for dead, Cupt. Halo's testimony, which is four columns long, states that at the timae he tovk command tho condition of affalrs Io Ouachita was very much unsettled, A strong Iecling of potitical bitterness and in. talerance was apparent among a large class of white personn, residents of it. Complaints were made to me by negroes of being driven from thelr houncx, of Lelmg threatened to be whipped and treated with ather acts of vinlence, of their lionses belng invaded at night by masked and armed white men, of vinits by Comnmitiees from Democratic club, and of notilleations from such committecs to Join Democratic clubs within stated perfods. UNDER PENALTT OF DEATII. So intenre wns the manifestation of Intolerance. and g0 deterinined waa the threatenfug attitude of thia Jawless class of white men, that the eolored vopulation of the parish seemed to have Leen re- duced to the murt ablect condition of terror and helplessirees. Mounted and armed organlzations of white men were farmed §n different parta of the Imrhvh, and - the -acts and influence ~of hese armed and mounted orcanizations scem to have efectunlly repressed whutever Inw-nbhllllg’nenlhnem may have heretofore existed in the parish. No applicatlons have heen made to e fur protection agninet white or colored Repub- licans, "It has Leen atated by white citizens of 83‘?)1:1“‘;!;1’:“}. h;’ my rcnenclel.‘lnl(lgcncml way, e icana have been gul cts of intimidation and violence, hl‘l’t e NO SPECIFIC ACTS were mentioned, and nocomplaints have been made to ma by persons suffecing from ncts of violence at the hiands vf Republicsne, Whitcand colored, In my oplnion the Itepublicans of Ouuchita Parish, white and colosed, were Lo much impressed with the un- certainty of their tenore of their livea to Uring themeclves prominently before Deinocratic Rlly Clubw, whicli would result from the commineion of acts of violence on thelr part. To tho best of my R::x:lcdzu and bellef none have been commitied by ' TUAT DLOODY BATURDAT NiGNT. Capt. Hall details the complaints made to him of the lawlessness of tho rifle clubs, and in- stances over a dozen cases, of whipplng and other outrages committes inthe Pinkston nelgh- borbood upon colored people on the Saturday night previous to the clection, the same night Uenry Pinkston and his child and Merriman Rhiodes wers murdered, and Eliza Pinkston so terribly mangled, and those making the complaints all named the same narty us belog guilty—the rifo club under the command of W, J, Theobald, and among the members of which were Dr. Young, James Roberts, Walter Logan, Frank Durbam, and Lanc Lyons. The storles told him all agreed on this point, and all, so far as thoy went, sus- tained the stury of Mrs, Pinkston. COXCLUDING STATEMENTS, Capt. Iall closes his statement os follows: From my ovserration and knoiwlcdge of the cel. ored people llving in the Southern States, 1 do be- lieve that they are very timld,—in fact, ajmost destititute of courage; that their fears are easlly wrought upon, and that they will quickly ylold to an opposing display of force, especlally it the opposing clement i3 composed of armed whits men. T am convincod that the condl- tion of atleirs in Ouachita Parish, from the 23d of Beptember, 1874, until the election, was not only such as to influcnce the clection, but was also such as to compel the great number of them to vole tho Democratle ticket. From sellable Information envmerated to me, 1 belleve the town of donrue, ot the time of the cloction there, and for soveral days previous, was enclrcled and picketed by armed mer, and that all of the roads and appronclies thercto were 8o strongly Buarded by the sume clnes of men ad to efectually reyent colored people from cither golng to or rom it without great risk of thaolr lives, MWENBRT'S TREAJOX AHLY ASSUNPTION, No further returns thau those I havo gent you will be promulgated to-morrow norning, but there s no doubt but that a Republican majority in both branches of tho Leglslature has beeu olected, Col.

Two o'clock p. m, to-day was the hour appointed for the Jolut Assembly to meet jn the Capltol aud .count and publish the result of tho election for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor.
