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 reëlected 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.

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 causéis 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 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¬ dent _ 2. LW.

The flame« ran »Ion« the cómicas 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 Éhtanat 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 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.

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 greaterthan was ever believed possible. Thevote of the lowest Hayes elector is

reliirned at 74,003, and that of the highest TildenrV. tor at 70,568. The highest Hayes elector is

given 75,135 votes, or a majority of 4,560 over thehighest competitor on the Democratic ticket. Thevoleas returned gave the highest Hayes elector77,174 votes; the lowest Hayes, 71,002 ; the high¬est TiUleu elector, 83,.59. The nnmlicr of voteslost by the highest Hayes elector by rejecting re¬

turns from polls and parishes where bulldozing is

tllcged to have occurred is, therefore. 2,030, whilethe loss of the highest Tibien elector from the samecauséis 13,201. As the detailed statement of the vote

is not accessible at this hour, it is as yet impossibleto 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 theReturning Board has compiled it for _______________ tothe 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, andthe Democrats 16 nembors ; and in the House thoRepublicans have 20 majority. Tbe board returnsfour Republican and two Democratic members ofCougreas. Mr. Gibson is elected iu tho 1st District.The report that a certificate was to be given to hisopponent, which has been iu circulation severaldays, 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 crowdof Dieu who have nightly congregated in the rotundaof the »St. Charles Hotel ever since election day nil

as largo as usual to-night ; but when the news camefrom Gov. Kellogg's house that a report had b»-<nsigned 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 Oregonwas much more earnestly discussed.Democrats are impatient for th. arrival of the

Congressional Committee, and profess the greatestanxiety to have every incident of the late electionfully invest igated. Tiie Republicans of conreo aro

not as much interested in the coming Congressionalinquiry, because they are perfectly satisfied withthe result M announced. They say that no com¬

mittee can do any good ; that it will have no powerto review the work of the Returning Board, whichunder 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.lticket held a consultation to-day, and arranged fortheir meeting to-morrow to cast their votes for Til-den. It is understood that they hold certificatesfrom 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 theBeeeiisary form and forward the record of their pro¬ceedings to Washington, accompanied by their«co-called certificates. The Hayes electors will, ofof course, also meet at tbe Stato House and casttheir votes for the Republican candidate for Presi¬

buildings in \\ oshington-st.. but the powa-rftilatreauis from several engine« sufficed to hold themin check and prevent the destruction of the entireblock, which would certainly have followed hadthese 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 theropes wonld permit, gave way iu momentary ex¬

pectation that tin- walls wonld fall out¬ward. Instead of this the rear wall ofthe 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 momentlater 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 thebrilliancy 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

Éhtanat thought that a new building hadcaught fire. Those near at hand, however, saw withgladne>M that the fury of the flames was spent. Thedwelling structure a«lj«)iiiiiig the theater was now

enveloped in llames, and soon nothing but the un¬

sightly walls wero to be »seen rising amidthe roaiiug sea >»f lire. The beat on

Johnson-st. at» this timo was so intense,and the streams of water which crossed eachother from several points made the place untenableto all who wire not guardo«! with tarpaulin andwaterproof clothing. Washington-et. looked like a

section of the Eho Canal when a break hasoccurred. Mud and water ta about equal pro¬portions filled tho street, and the constautly-movingcrowd soon rendered this thoroughfare almost im¬passible. Johnson-st. was choked with tho frag¬ments of tho falling wall, and great sheets of tinfrom the ioo! ami gutters.

'Hie appearance of the crowds was quite singular.There was a largo number of ladies present, thoin.-ijority of whom had b«»eii in tho theaterat the timo of tin» accident, and whohod not yet recovered from the fright of thetiiu-xp«. t«:«l catastropha, Th.ry now moved rest-
