New Orleans. December 20.—Governor
Nichols and Lt.-Gov. Wilts were serenaded
at the City Hotel last night. Responding
to the call, Gov. Nicholas made a short
speech, iu which he sakl that those who
have been chosen as the representatives of
the people would be faithful to their trust,
and would act with firmness and discre-
tion, keeping steadily in view their own
honor and the interests of the people. He
re-affirmed that he will be the Governor of
the whole people, and not of a party or
race. Concluding his remarks. Governor
Nichols said : Peaceably, fairly and legaHy
elected Governor of Louisiana by over
eight thousand majority of the votes of
both races, I here announce my fixed de-
termination to assert and maintain my
right to that position, aud I know that you
are equally determined that I shall do it. I
shall be prepared to do my whole duty,
and expect the same of every citizen of
Louisiana.
Before the House Investigating Commit-
tee, the witnesses reiterate a sameness of
r
testimony, all testifying to the intimidation
ot colored Democrats by the Republicans.
Gen. Anderson, of the Returning Board,
was before the committee yesterday. He
was evasive in all his answers, and doe*
not seem to know or remember some things
which he ought. He submitted written
reasons for not producing documents on
subpoena, but the committee declined to
receive them.

Washington, December 17—The Judi-
ciary Committee of the House appointed a
sub-committee to report upon the demand
for telegraphic dispatches, and to devls$
some rule of procedure to govern the call
from New Orleans and other cases, which
may follow. It is understood that in an-
ticipation ot calls ot this kind all political
corm-jHiudence has been compelled and
verified in the confidential Office of the
Western Union, and is redy for production,
should the demand be pressed to compul-
sion. It seems likely that both patties will
agree to respect the sanctity of telegraphic
correspondence. President Orton is here.
Tallahassee, December 17.—Judge
Cocke, of the Canvassing Hoard, author-
izes the statement that the offidal minutes
of Canvassing Board, published under the
signature of the clerk a few days since, are
false in several particulars. He complains
that they misrepresent his vote on several
issues and avers that he voted with his col-
leagues. when he voted directly and em-
phatically against thenti
There is nothing new to-day. It ts said
that the Senate committee will commence
a tour ot the contested counties to-morrow.
Senator Sargent will not deny or confirm
the report. He Is very reticent.
Tallahassee, December 18 —The Sen-
ate committee met at noon. The Sergeant-
at-Anns excluded under orders reporters,
and public cards were returned with the
statement that the session was private.
The House committee had before it
eighteen negroes, whose names ore on the
poll list of Richardson precinct. In Leon
county, as having voted there, and swore
that they didn't vote there, and were not
at the precinct all day. There were votes
in the ballot-box to accord kith these
names. The committee will summon other
witnesses to-morrow. The Introduction of
colored witnesses to-day and their testimo-
ny created quite a sensation.

Columbia, December 18.—There was
another unsuccessful ballot for United
States Senator in the I)e nocratic House to-
day. Everything quiet. The Congression-
al Committees are working actively, but
quietly. There are rumors of a comprom-
ise between Republicans and Democrats,
favorable to the latter.
Columbia, December 20.—Gov. Hamp-
ton lias established temporarily Ills Execu-
tive department in tlie former Democratic
State Committee room. Chamberlain still
holds forth at the Executive Chambers In
State House, guarded by United States
soldiers and his special constabulary. No
one is admitted except Repubtican*. mem-
bers of the press, and a few privileged per-
sons, including members of the House and
Senate Congressional committees, and
those only when properly identified by
some well-known Republican.
Gov. Hampton is slowly proceeding to
establish bis government notwithstanding
Chamberiain’s refusal to deliver the State
department.
The following correspondence passed
yesterday: Hampton to Chamberlain:
Sib—As the Governor of South Carolina,
chosen by the people, I hare qualified in
accordance with the constitution. I here-
by call upon you, as my predecessor, to
deliver up to ms the great seal of the State,
together with possession of the State
House, public records, aud other nutters
and things appertaining to the office."
Chamberlain to Hampton:
I hare received your communication
calling upon me to deliver up to you the
great seal of theHStote of South Carolina,
possession of the State House, public re-
cords, etc. I do nut recognize hr ytm any
right to make the forgoing demand aad I
hereby refuse compliance.”
The Democrats yesterday had seventy-
nine Senators and Representatives present,
a legal quorum of the joint Assembly. M. ^^i^ ,„.^t k.^

Chamberlain Is evidently cl
unanimity with which the people rephdiatd
his assumed authority. Officials through-
out tiie State are refbsing to

convict by chamberlain. The detcrxniua-
tiou of the tax-payers to pay no taxes to

Chamberlain finds It impossible longer to
ignore the Hampton administration.
Brownsville, Texas, December 17.—
Several merchants from the interior of
Mexico arrived hare yesterday, and they
confirmed the ne vs of the capture of La-
redo and the death of Escobedo and the
capture of the city of Mexico by General
Diaz. Igiesias. from Leon, fun ordered
Diaz to hold the City of Mexico and pro

to do, unless he could name four members
of the cabinet. This was refused by lgle*
