Show Loulsiuna. A dispatch to the Herald from Gev-ernor Gev-ernor Kellogg Saturday night: So many of the parishes of this state are so inaccessible and the authentic statemenls of results received up to the present time are bo few and the unofficial accounts received vary so widely that it is impossible to give to-night any accurate statement, or cvi-n an approximately accurate estimate esti-mate aa requested by you. Signed. William P. Keli-ogq, Per contra, another di-patch to the Herald by a large number of merchants mer-chants of New Orleans says; Kellogg and Packard's dispatches claiming this state are erroneous. All the parishes have been officially or semiofficially semi-officially heard from except two Cameron Cam-eron and Lafourche. The majority for Tilden is 7,736. Cameron and Lafourche will make the majority .over S.00O. There has been no dis lurbnnce before, during or since the election. New York, 13. The Tribune, carefully care-fully reviewing the evidence regarding regard-ing the Louisiana election, coincides with Governer Kellogg, that in fivo important parishes no free and honest election was held, yet it is aolely upon S.400 gain on their own count in 1S74 in these parishes that the democrats , base their claims to have carried the state. The democrats fieely admit large republican gains where no violence prevailed, which is prima facie evidence that the erroneous democratic gains in the fivo dis-tnrlipd dis-tnrlipd riArifihes are fraudulent. This gives the key to the conflicting claims. The Tribune's Washington special says: The result of the election iu Louisiana will turn upon the decision as to the right ol the returning board ro reject tho returns of two parishes, East and West Feliciana. The details de-tails as to the vote in these two parishes have not yet reached here, but a very significant dispatch has come from a democratic source, ' which says that in these two parishes enly one republican vote was polled and that was by the United States commissioner. The republicans claim that theso two parishes have been the scene of the most outrageous intimidation. |
