A majority for Hayes in Louisiana of 3,435
wm officially announced yesterday. The Hiiy ?i
?lector receiving the most votes has a roaiority
of 4,567. Tlie Republicans secure a majority
of 24 in the Legislature and 4 out of 6 Con?
gressmen. Boxes were thrown out in fifteen
parishes of l-ouisiaua where intimidation had
pre. ailed. The announcement of the result was
quietly received in New-Orleans. At Columbia,
8. C, the L^'pslature in joint assembly declared
Gov. Chamberlain re?lected by 3,044 ma?
jority. The Democratic Senators withdrew
from thev meeting. The Democratic House
has gained two more Republicans, and lacks
only one of a legal quorum. Wade Hampton
declared in a public speech that he will be tho
Executive yet or South Carolina will hav? a
military Governor. There are 30 rifle clubs
now assembled in Columbia.

Inr SO-MUM to the teibcxb..
Kkw-Orijsans, Dec. .*..?Tin? lloturniiiK Board hap
finished its work. It gives the lowest Rayes elector
3,435 majority over the highest Tilden elector; re?
turns Packard elected, and gi\*es tho Legislature to
the Republicans by 24 on joint ballot. The delega?
tion to Congress stands four Republican and two
Democratic. While the general result does not sur?
prise any one, since it has been anticipated ever
since election day, the majorities by which the
Hayes electors are returned are much greater
than was ever believed possible. The
vote of the lowest Hayes elector is
reliirned at 74,003, and that of the highest Tilden
rV. tor at 70,568. The highest Hayes elector is
given 75,135 votes, or a majority of 4,560 over the
highest competitor on the Democratic ticket. The
voleas returned gave the highest Hayes elector
77,174 votes; the lowest Hayes, 71,002 ; the high?
est TiUleu elector, 83,.59. The nnmlicr of votes
lost by the highest Hayes elector by rejecting re?
turns from polls and parishes where bulldozing is
tllcged to have occurred is, therefore. 2,030, while
the loss of the highest Tibien elector from the same
caus?is 13,201. As the detailed statement of the vote
is not accessible at this hour, it is as yet impossible
to learn in detail how this result has been brought
_lK)_t.
The vote for Governor and I.ieutenant-Govcmor
is by law to be canvassed by the Legislature, but the
Returning Board has compiled it for _______________ to
the Secretary of State. Packard and Antoine are re?
turned, each by about 2,200 majority. The I.eturn
ing Board, by giving tl_c_ Legislature to the Repub?
licans by a majority of 24 on joint ballot, secures ti?
the Adndnistratiou party two United Stabs S? n
ttcrs. In the Senate the Republicans hav i 20, and
the Democrats 16 nembors ; and in the House tho
Republicans have 20 majority. Tbe board returns
four Republican and two Democratic members of
Cougreas. Mr. Gibson is elected iu tho 1st District.
The report that a certificate was to be given to his
opponent, which has been iu circulation several
days, was without good foundation. There was
probably let-s reason to attack tho vote in this dis?
trict than ia any other hi the State.
The announcement of the result here this evening
han not caused a ripple of excitement. Tho crowd
of Dieu who have nightly congregated in the rotunda
of the ?St. Charles Hotel ever since election day nil
as largo as usual to-night ; but when the news came
from Gov. Kellogg's house that a report had b?-<n
signed by the Returning Board, and that the charac?
ter of their report was known, it provoked hardly a
remark. The news from South Carolina and Oregon
was much more earnestly discussed.
Democrats are impatient for th? arrival of the
Congressional Committee, and profess the greatest
anxiety to have every incident of the late election
fully invest i gated. Tiie Republicans of conreo aro
not as much interested in the coming Congressional
inquiry, because they are perfectly satisfied with
the result M announced. They say that no com?
mittee can do any good ; that it will have no power
to review the work of the Returning Board, which
under the Constitution and laws must stand as it is.
I presume they will present their side of the case
to the committee and call witnesses, ?began*,
they iay they are abundantly able to sus?
tain the Returning Board in all it has
?lone. The Democratic candidatos on the del ti i.l
ticket held a consultation to-day, and arranged for
their meeting to-morrow to cast their votes for Til
den. It is understood that they hold certificates
from McEuery, who claims still to be de jure Gov?
ernor of the State, though not so de facto. Gov.
Wickliffo and his associates will go through the
Beeeiisary form and forward the record of their pro?
ceedings to Washington, accompanied by their
?co-called certificates. The Hayes electors will, of
of course, also meet at tbe Stato House and cast
their votes for the Republican candidate for Presi?

One of the most unfortunate and disastrous f

small amount of smoke, ami th?1 night baiug ?l.ir

a huge pyramid of lire was oullimtl
against the sky, tin- apes continually chang?
ing in form; then two parall-l column? ai>
pcared, one on each taut, and finally are
were niergeal into one broad blaze aif biimiint build?
ings, which, with a mighty mar, WI_p|Od the

the sheet. The flame? ran ?Ion? the c?micas of th.
buildings in \\ oshington-st.. but the powa-rftil
atreauis from several engine? sufficed to hold them
in check and prevent the destruction of the entire
block, which would certainly have followed had
these building? become well on fire.
The rapidity with whicli the interior of the theater
hmu.-d wu soon apparent to thoM ucax at baud.
The onter walls began to sway, and the crowd,
which had surged np as near t?* the scene as the
ropes wonld permit, gave way iu momentary ex?
pectation that tin- walls wonld fall out?
ward. Instead of this the rear wall of
the theater fell first, craidiiiig inward with a
mighty noise and burying itself in the burning de?
bris. A shower of sparks aroso and this a moment
later was increased ten-fold an tbe wall on ?lohnson
st. totter? .1 and fell inward also. A suppressed mur?
mur of admiration went up from the crowd at the
brilliancy ami impressive character of the scene.
The fire now seemed to burn w ith added fierceness,
and those who were watching the llames from a
?htanat thought that a new building had
caught fire. Those near at hand, however, saw with
gladne>M that the fury of the flames was spent. The
dwelling structure a?lj?)iiiiiig the theater was now
enveloped in llames, and soon nothing but the un?
sightly walls wero to be ?seen rising amid
the roaiiug sea >?f lire. The beat on
Johnson-st. at? this timo was so intense,
and the streams of water which crossed each
other from several points made the place untenable
to all who wire not guardo?! with tarpaulin and
waterproof clothing. Washington-et. looked like a
section of the Eho Canal when a break has
occurred. Mud and water ta about equal pro?
portions filled tho street, and the constautly-moving
crowd soon rendered this thoroughfare almost im?
passible. Johnson-st. was choked with tho frag?
ments of tho falling wall, and great sheets of tin
from the ioo! ami gutters.
'Hie appearance of the crowds was quite singular.
There was a largo number of ladies present, tho
in.-ijority of whom had b??eii in tho theater
at the timo of tin? accident, and who
hod not yet recovered from the fright of the
tiiu-xp?. t?:?l catastropha, Th.ry now moved rest
Ittthj about, attended by their escorts, and ___|_d
in no small degree to the difficulty of thread?
ing one's way iu and out of tho multitudes
from ?mo portion of the tire to another. The
"rough" element was out in full force,
nil hough it was much less demonstrative
than usual on occasions like this, when so much
opportunity is al.orded to give? loose rein to lawloM
instincts. The motley throng. were very p* ace:MI,
and the police regulations w? re ..tringently enforced.
Travel was ?brlayetl on tho Fulton-st. car lines,
owing to tin- stretching of the lioso acrosu the street
in several places.
A full-hour after the fire began the sky was sf ill
brightly illutniuale?!, and the host of people in the
sf r.-?-ts was receiving constant a- e. - .ions both from
? liriMiklyn and this city. Tho fire still burned
I brightly although the irreater part of

three persons were injured and others are miss?

at tho theater, was severely burned alunit the

I.omsin, Tuesdiy. Dee. 5,1A76.
The special correspondent of The I?verpool
Courier MagH_B__ to that Journal as follows :
I am infomieat that the American Oovernaient has
virtually accepta-il the revteed extradition treaty be?
tween (?rent Ilntuiii and the L'nita tl BlntaBj drawn up by
England. The Crown lawyer? have taCB some time en?

draft when Completel was s'it'iuitte.l to Mr. 1'ish, and
iilthoiiKh the new treaty is not yot signed It has In sub?
stance I teen accepted by the Washington Government.
Negotiations have gone so far that the British au
tiioritles felt Justilled in rearn-sting tue persons
who owed tln-ir liba ration to the late Ulfll
culty. Cltarhra Hrent, the Louisville forger, waa
apprehended yester.lay, and will bo brought up
at the Bow . tn-et 1'olice Court during the present
week. E. I>. Wiuslow. the ?Basten forger, and William E,
lira), tha- Hew-York forger, have not yet been found. It
Is siipposcal that they received sonic inkling of tbe re?
arranged treaty and ilecainpctl.
Tha* agent of the New York Associated Press ut London
took the foregoing to Unit?*d ?Matai Minister Pia-rrepont.
He si ?riiied surprised to see it in print, but said: "lam
not in a posiiitui to say iinytlilti-. uttout It. one way or tho
other." The agent then went to the Horn. Office and waa
Informed that the order for llreut's arrest was transmit?
ted through that ottice, and the fact of his
airest was eouttnneal. The otlh-cr could gfro
no further Inhumation. At the Row Street
Police Court. Sir James lu.liam, who has been trans?
ferred there iroin the Wnndsworth Polia-e Camrt sinea
