New Haven, Nov, 21, 1876, Dxar Sin—In response to your request, | will sta as briefly and clearly as possible the impressions J re- ceived during my visit lo New Oricans, The goutlemen who were requested by the National Democratic Committee to go to Louisiana expressed at once to one another the determination to certify to the Northern pecple tho truth with regard to the Louisiana without party bias, Several of expressly declared = that’ they ~—had come to New Orleans to get the te vote for Mr, Tilden, and all acquiesced, The first rain the fact, Judging from (ho usage of Northern States this Would not be dit. cult, On addressing the Sule Committee for intorma. tion, it was at once found that that body, Deen pliged to contend with unheard of difflcaities in their clforts to obtain returns. These difficulties were purtly G BOARD vote of them ot | puysical, due tothe lack of means of communi: ation With remote parishes, but, for the most part, ¢they were due to artificial and malicious obstructions placed in their way, The election was held under a compiieated and — elaborate corps ol officuts, appointed by the State government, and {ree trom Buy of those popular checks which we, | in the North, regard as essential to sell-government, ttees to It ‘Yhe ellorts of the press apa the party com obtain information were treaced as impertinent. was lurthermore necessary, inasmuch as the ruli yarty did not publish returos (except as her alter stated), and did not thereture either deny or accede to tho democratic reports, to fortity these latter by certiicates in a manner totally unknown imthe North, Tho democratic committee, warned by the experience of 1872 and 1874, took, as it appears, Chergete measures to secure trustworthy re- | turns, duplicates of the returns sent to the Returning Board, WELL-GROUNDED RUSPICION, The suspicion of the jatter body unplied in this course of action is abundantly justilled by its history. Tbave betore me a detaied statement by parishes of the returns which were received asa result of the etlorts of the democratic commitiee, with m of the wutnority on which ea Allowing for possible errors 0: stutement establ shes a inorat certuluty that Governor Tilden car- ried the State by 7,000 majority, according to the re- tarns, 1 niet no person in Louisiana, and T mixed as freely | as possible with persons o1 all classes and both parties, who denied or doubted that tis was the true result of tho election, I. was told that the repubhiean news- papers had publisbod returns from thirty or forty parishes, comending with those im the democratic Statement, but bad then desisted, declaring that the returns Were incorrect and unsatisiuctory, No counter clum 18 made in regard tv the returus, The only wn- swer made i$ thal there have Leen outrages and intimidauon in five or six parishes, and that the Re- turning Board will have to correct the returns by throwmg out the votes of those parishes. The repub- lican newspaper of the 14th inst. went further, and d clared that 1 would be necessary to tusert the votes which would have been cast tor the republican ticket if the tnumidation had not takea place. I met no per- son whatever Who adinitted any other hypothesis than that the Returning Board would bring out a republican majority. It was not discussed; it Was assumed, as of course. REVERSING THE POPULAR VOTE The proposal, then, 1s that the Rotuening Board shall destroy tue votes of large numer of persons who really voted, and supply the votes of « large num- Ver of other: that some persons voted under cocreion and others re- ion, Could anything more destroy the whole theory of popular electoral government? For obvious reasous I could not enter into the ques- tion of iuct as to outrages, 1 heard abundant complaints of outrages, &c., against negroes who voted the democratic ucket, and I talked with a number of persons who had such gom- plants to make. 1 also Fesotutely pursued all possible inquiries within my reach to try to find Out the truth, in a conversution which a number of us held with Governor Kellogg, be was asked tor facts under this head.

ARGUMENT BEYORK THE SUPKEME COURT—RE- PORT OF THE STATK CANVASSERS BASED ON THE COUNTY RETURNS—ORDERS ASKED FOR BY THE DEMOCRATIC MANAG&KS, (x TELEGRAPH TO THK HERALD.) CoLvapia, Nov. 21, 1876. No decision was reached by the Supreme Court as to the powers und duties of the State Board of Canvassers to-day, but the proceedings were nevertheless import. ant, The morning session was tpkgn up with argue ment by United States District Attorney Corbin and ex-United States Attorney General Akerman, on tne roport of the Board of Canvassers, and by James Con- ner and Le Roy F. Youmans, on the fart of the demo- cratic candidates, or as they frequently say, the citi- zens of the State. ‘THR DECLARED VOTE. At twelve o'clock, alter (ruitiess efforts on the part of their counsel to obtain a recession of the origiaal order of tho Court of the date of the 17th inst., which instructed the Board to proceed with the purcly min- isterial duties of aggregating the returns (rom the face of the returns mado by the county canvassing boardy, The State Boara at last made their return to the Su- preme Court, By this statement, which was read by D>strict Attorney Corbin, it appears that the Hayes elcctoral ticket have received majorities ranging trom 838 tc 1,138, and (hat the republicans elect three mem. bers of Congress, the Stute Treusurer, Attorney Gono. ral, Secrotary of State, Adjutant General and Inspector General, and retain thoir inajority in the State Senate. On the other hand the return shows that tho demo- Grats have ciected two members of Congress, tho Comp- troiler General, Superintendent of Education, and also wlarge mjority of the lower house of the Legisla- ture, ARGUMENT ON THK LAW, Tho Board then goes onto say that this retura is made to the Gourt in obedience to its order of Novem- ber 17, but at the same time respectful.y submits that under the proceedings in the court the Bourd is not by law compelled to report auy of its actions to the court, SUGGESTIONS OF ERRORS IX THE RETURNS, The return then ingeniously makes certaim correc- tions in favor of two of tho republican candidates for Stave officers, which it claims would elect them, At the same time it neglects to make correetious, pre- cisely similar in character, which would also elect two of the democratic candidates for State offices. ALLEGATIONS OF PRAUDS AND IRKNGULARITING. Tae return of the Board further states that allega- tions of fraud have been filed with the Bourd as to the election held in Edgefield county; that similar allegations have been made and filed as to one or more precincts m Barnwell county; that the statements of thee ommis- sioners of Laurens county laid belore the Board are signed by two commissioners cnly, one of whom states that he signed under protest. This, it will be remem- bered, was the ‘ndividual named Ratherford, a de- feated candidate for the House of Representatives, who retused to detiver the reiuros of Laurens county until | he was compelled to do so by tho issuance of criminal warrants, both from the United States and State courts, for his arrest. Tho other com- missioner, who relused to sign the return, tg also a defeated candidate for the State Seaate, The cause of these refusals are just as apparent as the an- willingness on the part of the candidates for Fe-clec- tion on the State Board of Canvassers to issue certill- cates of election to their successors, NO RVIDENCHE TAKEN, The Board winds up its return with tho statement that ia view of the allegations,’ protests and notices of contests, none of which have been heard or pasred upon by the Board because of the pendency of the proceedings, the Board cannot 8 their opinion, property ascertain and certify who have actually received tho greatest number of lega; yotos tn the counties for the several offices voted for unloss they have the opportunity of investigating the allegations and hearing evidence upon the protests, SUBMITIRD TO TI DEMUCRATIC COUNSEL, The return of the Board was then handed over to the counsel tor the democratic candidates, at the sua- gestion of whom the Court took a recess for an hour, to allow time to cxamine it, and thon submit replica- tions and orde they proposed ORDERS PROPOSED, When the Court met again counsel for the demo. crats submitted two classes of orders for the considern- tion and action of the Court. The first order, relative to members of the Legislature and members of Con- gress, required tne Board to issue certiticates of cleo tion to the persons ascertained to be elected by tho returns of the Board as mado to the Court. The effect of this order 1s to take away from the Board all farther action as to members of tho Legislature and of Congress, and to confine their further duties strictly to the returns of clectors sud | State officers In this way cortiticates would havo to bo issued to the members ascertained to have received the largest number of votes, and jeave the questions of ‘heir qualifications and any protests or contests in ro- gard to their places to be decided respectively by the Lozislature and by Congress, both of wh:cb bodies are Judges as to their own membership. The second order asked for required tho Board of State Canvassera to go belind ' the re- tarns of the county canvassers, to investizate tbe returns of the managers of precinct elections and to make a comparison of the latuerwith tbe former ana certify to the Court such crrors, Irregularities and discrepancies as may be ascertained. one which the republican Board of Canvassers dread the most. Au experience of five counties, which they unfortunately did compare, showed such errora, frauds and trrogularities tn the republican counties that they are feartul a further comparison of all the counties in tne State will so change the result as to give the elec- toral vole ol the State, or a portion of it, to Tilden, ‘This order is supported by AFFIDAVITS SHOWING BRRIOUS DISCREYAXCIES betwoen the statements of the county cunvassers and the managers of the precinct elections, aud the order turiber requires the Board to bring iuto court the pa- pers upop which their return fe based. that the Court | Iteelf may nquire Into these discrepancies, errors and irregularities, ‘The Court took these orders under advisement until to-morrow. SPKCIFIC DIRECTIONS TO THK BOARD, The Court then passed a formal order for the geverance of the various classes of cases neluded in the petition of the — relators for mandainus, #0 as to allow tho cases of electors, Congressmen, State oilicers, Members of the Leyislature, solicitors and county officials to be taken up, canvassed and discussed separately. Betore adjouraing the intention of the Court to take up the caso of members of the Logislature first was intimated, and it was required that any exeepuions tothe can- varsers? return as to stich meinbers should be presented at once, As to (be Governor, Lieutenant Governor and mem- bers of the Cegisiature the Board of Canvassera lsve ho pretence of jurisdiction to hear contests or pro- Acats, though they attempted iu their desperate strait to assume it What they will now do {8 a matter of conjecture, but it is feared that since their scheme of making a Legislature has failed throagh the interposition of the Court they muy delay the certificates of the members until after next Tuesday, when the Legislature 1 required to moet, and thus perhaps FRODUCK CONFUSION AND PROBABLY ANARCHY. tis said to-night that the republicans claim the elcetion of the entire State ticket, with tho exception of Chamberiain, who runw far behind his ticket, and that they would go so fur as to claim his election but that the experiment would be too ridicutous.

I bave been anable to obtain the means at present of settling the tact as to how the Legislature of that State got its authority to appoint its electors, 1 will suggest, however, that if the constitution of the Stute—which, observe, 1s the work of its Territorial Couvention, and not of the Leg- islature of the State, which did not yet exist—mado provision that such clectors should be appointed by the Legislature, that provision weuld be imoperative as authority for such appotutments, Nor would it cure the matter If on the application of the State for adints- sion to the Union sucn authority hud been engrafted on {ts constitution by Congress. he federal cunstitu- tion provides that “each Stute shall appoint, in such manner us the Legislature theeco! may direct,”? &c. It the Legislature thereof! did not firse “4hrect”? whether the electors should be chosen by the people or by that body itself, how coulu any right of appoiut- neut oF choice be exercised at ull by the State of Colo- rado’ Does uot the word “direct” reter, as do those kindred terms, “provide,” ‘prescribe,’ &c,, elsewhere in that instrument, to the exercise of legislative ower? If it dues, certaily neither tho act of the ‘Territorial Convention vor cf Conuress could wuthoriee "this directing. Now it thay bo said thateall that tbe Legislature had to do was to assemble, and, without auy previous direction trom any source, appoiwt ibe electors, inasmuch us it was iiself the body possessed of the sule power to direct the maunerof it, But, I re- peut, does uot the provision ot the federal constitution relerred to mean a | lative act preparatory? It seems to me that that was mtendeg, Yours, &c., CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov, 17, 1876, PUBLICCS. INTO THE JAWS OF DEATH, AN OLD MAN WALES INTO A RAPIDLY REVOLY- ING FLYWHEEL AND IS TORN TO PIECES.
