ANOTHER LOUISIANA REPUBLICAN SAID TO BE
ON THE RAMPAGE?AN OFFICE OR A SCENE.
A curious story floats about the streets here this
evening to tbe effect that Levis.so, one ol tbe republi
can electors of Louisiana, recently asked lor an oflleo
in someone of tne departments, and, being refused,
lost bis temper ami blurted out tbat bis namo bad been
forged to the official return or declaration ol tbe
voto ol Louisiana, and that ho would make this lacl
known to Mr. Tilden. Tbo rumor says that Levissde
asserts that the original certIDcale ol the Louisiana
vole was louud to bo lackiug tu some of tbo legal
forms; tbat it was sent back to New Orleans to bo
corrected; that when tbe new paper wus drawn up
I.cvisseo was not at baud to sign it, aud tbat one
Ivolley. au omployd under Governor Kellogg, forged
bis signature, und, Anally, tbat some Louisiana re
publicans Lave takqn Lcvissfle lu chargo to prevont
bis making tbe matter known to Mr. Tildcn:s friends.
Di courso tbo story, uveu if it were (rue, would bo ol
not tbe slightest constquence, though sorno lawyers
bero pretend to think tbat It might be used to raiso a
serious question as to tbe Presidential title.' Moreover
if I.evissoo bus asked lor an ofbco and been refused,
he is tbo flrst republican connected with the
elections In Louisiana and Florida, so far ns
Is known, to whom some sort of provision has not
been offerod.

The Department ol State has received trout the Vice
