Twenty-two Conservatives Debarred from Taking Their Seats, KIGHTEEN RADICALS COUNTED IN, Gloom and Anger Among the People. ry New ORLEANS, Dec. 24, 1878 To-day Mr. Arroyo sent in his resignation as a member of the Returning Board. A TELLING INDICTMENT, fle says:—“I am impelied to adopt the present course by the rulings of the Board in the last few days, in returning; to the Legislature as elected members those who were unmistakably defeated— rulings which, to my mind, are so ciffirly partisan and unjust, defrauding the people ‘OY Louisiana of their chosen representatives, that ify self-respect will not allow me longer to retain a seat in the Board.” ad THR RESIGNATION ACCEPTED. Mr. Arroyo’s resignation was accepted, and the Board went into executive session. THE RETURNING BOARD ANNOUNCE THE RESULT. The Returning Board finished its labors to-night, after having canvassed and ordered to be promul- gated the returns of forty-nine parishes and re- ferred the four remaining ones to the Legislature, ‘The original returns, as received and compiled by the clerks of the Board, Indicated the elec- tion of seventy conservative members and forty-one radicals, but their manipulation now gives the new Legislature filty-four radicals and fifty-two democrats, a clear majority for the Kellogg government. Moncure, the democratic candidate, originaily returned by about 3,500 ma- jority, ander the same process 13 beaten by, Du- buclet, radical, by about 1,500 majority. . The Tesgit, which is not as yet generally known throuzhout the city, has a very depressing effect, and wu be provocative of excitement to-morrow. INDIGNATION AND DEPRESSION. Your correspondent visited McEnery’s head- quarters this evening, and found the few there assembied both depressed and indignant. Upon being questioned as to what effect the action of the Returning Bosrd woula have. upen the people, Governor McEnery replied that it had virtually snnuiled the election by the people, who would necessarily be highly exasperated, thereat. He thought that in this Stage, as in all other States, the mem- bers elected by the people snould appear and take their seats whem the Legislature assembles, and Said it 1s tmpossible to foretell the result of any revolutionary act of the Returning Board tending to deprive them of this rignt. He spoke very fecl- ingly of the necessity of establisting goou govern- meut in Louisiana and apprehended THE MOST DISASTROUS RESULTS to our commercial and agricultural interests in case Of a failure to do so. The emigration from the agricultural parishes would be immense, and the condition of the people become deplorabie indeed. Your correspondent subsequently visited Governor Kellogg at his residence and questioned him to the same effect. Kellogg replied that he was a8 yet unaware of the final result Ot the Returning Board, but presuming the in- formation to be correct the majority was 80 close that the reforms desired by the people could be readily effected, The majority included several reiorm republicans, such as ex-Governor Hahn and Judge Cole, and in this view of the matter he did not apprehend any trouble. If the opposition, as they claim, simply desire a conservative Legislature, they have it, and it will undoubtedly represent the Wealth and intelligence of the State. Messrs. Anderson and Wells, of the Returning Board, are reported to have left the city this evening by the steamer Lizzie Taylor, but the report so far lacks confirmation, HOW THE RESULT WAS ATTAINED—THE JUG- GLING REQUIRED TO OVERCOME THE VOTE OF THE PEOPLE—RADICALS RETURNED UNDER DEMOCRATIC COLORS. by : NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec. 24, 1874, A Bulletin extra has the following regarding the’ Returning Board :— The deliberations of the evening resulted in a final decision regarding the parishes of Claiborne, Caddo, La Fourche, Lincoin, Rapides and St. Mar- | tin, Tue parisnes of Grant, Winn, Bienville and { De Soto were referred to the Legislature that their several cases may be adjusted, ‘The representation, as returned by the Board, now stands, democrats 52, and repubiicans 54, making a majority of two lor the latter. Although it will be observed *that neither party is given a quorum in the House, itis somewhat sugpicious that the Board did not take unto themselve: @ sufficient number with which to orgunize he Legislature, that is, a quoram, However, it stited the purpose of Wells and Anderson to make that there are three among the returned, sailing under conservative colors, wno, upon an_emer- gency, will offer allegiance to the Kellogg | régime and repudiate utterly the cause of the people. All the parishes before the Board on Thursday were largely democratic, but by extensive doctoring and +manipulation they | were returned as follows:—Cadae, three republi- | cans; Lincoln, one republican; Rapides, one republican; Claiborne, two democratic; St. Mar- | tins, two democratic; La Fourche, two demo- cratic; Bienville, Grant, Winn and De Soto are | thrown out, making a representation in the } House of fifty-two democrats and fiity-four repub- iteans. the throwing out of the above named parishes and several polls in Caddo parish (seven were thrown out to overcome democratic majorities) Moncure is beaten by nearly 2,000 votes.

FROM YOUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. WASHINGTON, Dec, 24, 1874, “THE COURTESY OF THE SENATE.” ‘The e/mments on “tne courtesy of the Senate’ in the Henan of to-day have attracted much at- tention in political circles, and comments are (reely made that the Southern Senators, jealous of their rights and discerning that their ‘power 1s waning, will make an issue with the Pres- ident if he persists in disregarding their counsel in the selection of federal om- cers. The nomination of Colone! Hunt, of Kentucky, as Supervisor of Internal Revenue; in Place of N. K. Cobb, whose resignation was asked by the President, has been hung up in the Senate on account of opposition from ‘Senator Speacer, because he was not consulted in the selection of Cobb's successor, and on the ground that Alabama is one of the States in the district. A republican Senator from another State in the district also interposed his objection and claimed that “tne courtesy of the Senate” should not be disregarded, Hunt is the choice of Secretary Bristow, who has Openly declared war upon the carpet-bag Senators, and the contest, therefore, will be interesting, as &@ new phase in the political complication, THE APPROACHING VACANCIES IN THE SENATE, The Wisconsin delegation have agreed to leave to the Bar or the Highth Judictal district the selec- ton of the successor of Judge Howe in the Seu- ate, and whoever is recommended will be sup- ported by the Senators and republican Repre- sentatives. Thia, itis understood, has been done @t the suggestion of Senator Carpenter, who hopes thereby to gain additional strength for re- election as Senator. This plan has the President's approval. He would be glad if all such important offices were decided by those best capable of judging of the merits of the candidates. PINCHBACK OFFERS A COMPROMISE—A MERE QUESTION OF LUCRE. It was reported that Pinchback has offered to compromise matters, by placing his resignation in the hands of Senator Thurman, provided the Senate will seat him, so that he can draw the ac- crued salary and mileage, amounting in ail to about thirteen thousand dollars. Senator Thurman op- posed the consideration of the resolution offered by Senator Morton yesterasy declaring the cre- dentials valid as prima facie evidence of Pinch- nack’s election as Senator, dnd will not be a party to any such proposition, if tor no other reason than because the democratic members of tne Senate have resolved to resist to the last the recggnition of the legality of the Kellogg govern- ment in any jorm. THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF MILITARY COM- *MANDERS IN THE SOUTH—THE PRESIDENT’S REASONS FOR SUCH INTENDED ACTION. Among the few visitors received py the Presi- dent to-day were representatives from Louisiana and Mississippi. They Came to urge upon him the importance of making a change In the command of the Departmentof the Gull. It was represented that Texas need not be added to the proposed new de- partment. The President assured the gentlemen that he was already convinced that a change should be made, but not for the reasons that have been alleged against General Emory. It appeared! to him that the discontented white ele- ment o1 the South was too well organ- ized to admit of any temporizing polley and the military representative of the government should be one who would promptly grasp the re- sponsibility of the moment. He had thought of plac- ing General Sheridan in command, but General Terry’s experience as Military Governor of Georgia and nis ability to act prudently as well as firmly in Southern matters seemed to him to recom- mend the present commander of the Department of Dakota for new responsibities in the Soutn. Members of the select committees appointed to visit Alabama ana Mississippi have been requested to call upon the President before leaving for the South, Representative Hurlbut, of Lilinois, who 18 on the Vicksburg inveStigating committee, frankly says that itis absurd to expect Congress to patrol the South, for it ts evident that there will be no end to serious troubles, and in his opinion the sooner discontented States are remanded to a territorial torm of gov. ernment, and the tederal government relieved of the annoyances that ate continually arising and Increasing, the better it will ve for the people of the whole cofintry, He does not ex- pect to get any testimony that will amount to anything, and reierred to what had already transpired io other Southern fuvestigations. He commends General Terry's appointment as the best that can be done for the present, though, of course, “he must act ander civil law until martial law becomes necessary. It is evident that the majority of the republican memberg of the Southern investigating committees do not sympathize with the effort made to boister up their party by such investigations, but think that a boider policy ought to be inaugurated by the President if tne evils complained of really exist. NO APPOINTMENT. OF SUPERVISING ARCHITECT YET MADE. The contest for the posiiion of Supervising Ar- chitect still continues, For several days past the friends of Mullett have made a desperate effort to have him retained, but Secretary Bristow de- nites of the office in the place than to continue Mr, Mullett there. Several persons bad been favorably recommended, but their Misiortune was that they nad to be investigated and’ were therefore not de- sirable candidates. It is now stated that William A. Potter, of New York, brother of Clarkson N. Potter, 1s the Secretary’s choice, and the ‘ know- ing ones” suggest that there is wisdom in such a selection, tor should Mr. Potter accept he woulda have the confidence of the democratic members of is an important consideration in the selection of @ supervising architect, while his oMcial acts would necessarily have the approval of the admin- istration.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA. HOPES OF GETTING THE STRANDED STEAMSHIP INTO BARNEGAT INLET. The steamer South Carolina still remains on Barnegat Shoals, and no copy of her manitest has yet reached this city. At @ consuitation on Wednesday between the captain, the Owner and the wrecking officials, it was agreed that the vessel should be lightened as rapidly as possible, with the object of getting her | into Barnegat Inlet. Ateleven o’clock, on Wedues- day night, while heading southeast, the wreck swung round, beading a tittle west of north, work- ing toward Barnegat Julet, and it was hoped at every high tide to get her off, by the ussistance of the wrecking schouners. It is calculated that about 240 bales of cotton are jettisoned and about 300 are saved. A large amount of jettisoned cargo 1s lying on tne beach, near the lighthouse, and much of it which was afloat has been rescued vy wreckers., Fortunately lor the vessel the wind, up to last accounts, was blowing off shore. She is now about half a mile from tae lighthouse and very near the beeakers on the outside of the shoal. THE ARRIVAL OF THK STEAMSHIP REGULATOR.

When they lightén her of ber cargo and she draws, aay tour feet forward and eight feet ait, they can equalize her position by putting some cargo for- ward and then get her across the Swasb Channel with ease.

At | @ signal from Miss Chisholm, the instructress, the | plano commenced @ stirring march, and to tne | measure the young ladies kept time in their va- rious evolutions. A smile fitted over His Majes- | ty's countenance during this periormance, and, ‘in bis mind, he may have recalled the.| racejul hula-hula, the national dance of | 13 own jand. There is @ certain ) similarity between the two performances, but it is | sale to say that a®evy Of Normai Schooi girls with | 4 fair amount of practice would soon ouirivai the | most famous dancers of the noted *‘Hula.” Per- | haps some of tne young ladies may take the hint, and periect themselves for /uture success among the cocoa Catia ot Hawati The calisthenics being finished the party leit the college among the criticisms Of the giris and arunning fire of ques- tions regarding the King.
