The New Orleans special to the Times says that Kellogg having, in his recent address, signified his willingness to abide by a count of the returns of the election of 1872, by a board of arbitration, prominent democrats have proposed that the returns now secreted by order of the McEnery returning board be brought forward and canvassed with a view to a final settlement of the contested election case.

In order to effect this arrangement it will be necessary for both parties and the candidates on each ticket to agree to submit to a decision of the arbitrators. The proposition has not formally been submitted to Kellogg, but there is reason to believe that he is so well satisfied of his election by a large majority that he will agree to it if the arbitration can be fairly conducted and the democracy give proper guarantees of sincerity and good faith.
