Tho oflieers and soldiers of the regular army arc conservative and non-partisan. In point of fact, most of the loading officers were commis- regular army in IStUi, by Andrew .lolitt&on, who had just then gone fully back to his democratic vomit. We are of the opinion that a majority of the prominent officers in commission lo-dav, are democratic in their pro clivities. At any rate, it is hard to conceive of a more independent and non-partisan }os*e commitaln* than that body,and the President in u-ing it as a national police force to prevent an outbreak to prevent contemplated frruds. and consequent collisions, which might involve the whole coun try, has exercised the highest wisdom and statesmanship, and pursued a course which ever)' honest man. in favor of maintaining law and order, Will ultimately approve. All the states of the north that the democracy have carried, are Indiana, New York, Connecticut and New Jersey, four in number. Of these, Indiana is the northern state which, above all others, set back in the breeching during the early years of the rebellion. In scores of counties of Indiana the Knights of the Golden Circle drilled in companies with muskets and in many places they came in conflict with soldiers at home on leave. The legislature refused to make any appropriation to organize and equip troops and Abraham Lin coln loaned Governor Morton the money to raise and equip them. At one time a conspiracy was formed by the democracy to overthrow Gov. Morton by force of arms. It was the worst northern state in the union to keep from joining its fortunes with the confederacy. Tom. Hendricks, Senator McDonald and lllue Jeans Williams, were leaders of the rebell ious clement of Iiuliaua. Since the war the state has borne democratic fruit a good part of the time whenev er a straight is~uc is made on the ba «is of the old copperhead record. 1 is therefore plain that the controlling influence which has carried Indiana for Tilden, i.-the same which led her legislature, in IStt2, to oppose the government in suppressing rebellion. As to the other three demo cratic states, they lie around those great cities and pest holes of iniquity, the cities of New York and Brooklyn as the legs of a tarantu la environ its body and by these cities the fifty-eight thousand repub lican majority in the balance of the state was overcome by the 88 thous and they and Kings County casl for Tilden. Also these cities shed their pestilential influence on the States of New Jersey and Connecticut and car ried them by small majorities though llic legislatures of these small states have been carried by the rcpnblicons. The republicans have carried all the balance of the Northern states! seventeen ill number and yet these four northern states with a solid the South that are Republican by thousands of votes if a fair election was permitted. These arc Louisiana, {South Carolina, Florida and Mississ ippi and probably North Carolina. An untrammcled vote in flicse slates would elect Haves beyond all ques tion. It now seems that three of them have given republican majori ties notwithstanding the reign of ter rorism and that Jlaycs thereby wins. All wc have to say about it is if a fair count in Louisiana, S. C., and Florida elects Hayes, he must and will be the President. And we want to say further, that if, as Gov. Kel logg says, there are three or four Parishes in Louisiana._which for the years of J872 and 1874 gave large republican majorities, and in which the registration of voters showed two colored voters to one white, and the returns now show that there was no republican votes cast there, and that while patrolers rode armed over the country—then the vote of those ,Parishes will be thrown out and not ^counted. No man ought to be. and (tao man will be, declared elected I'lvsident by counting such votes. The Republic woultl be a farce and a bv-tvord. if Presidents should be thus elected. BOCUS RETURNS-RASCALITY FORESHADOWED. Tho canvassing board of South Car olina met yesterday at Columbia, and the attorney for the democracy filed objections to the hoard hearing any testimony or inquiring into the facts whether the returns are grand swin dles or not. This is the reform party sioned at the re-organization ot the clear day than the fact that South Tho armv does not desire this duty, There is no instance on record where j»?«»«» "nfair rascally means. an officer or soldier has interfcrrcd to prevent a white man. or colored 1$ Oreen township, this county, the one, for that matter, irom casting his deniocraev have alwavs flourished. man. or colored from casting his vote. They are only there to see that all men. without respect to color or party, shall have the right to vote, and to have his vote counted without interference from local organizations or organized terrorism. Any man who isn't in favor of that, is a si-omidrel, whether living north or south. It is only these sort who howl about the President's determin ation to prevent fraud and incipient rebellion. All honest men of all sections de sire a lair election and the inaugura tion of the man elected, whether he be Hayes or Tilden. All good men will stand by U. S. Grant in the exercise of all his con stitutional powers to prevent the des ecration of the ballot box in the South, and in throttling at the very outset all cll'orts to again embroil this eountrv in war.

GOTHARD TUNNEL The Greatest Tunnel in Europe— The Direct Route from Eng land to India. The foreign correspondent of the Boston Herald, writing from Lcipsic, says: While at Gocschcncn 1 had an opportunity of seeing the St. Gothard tunnel, which is now being bored through the mountains from Goes cheneii towards Germany. The ap proach to the tunnel on the Gocsche ncn side is in the midst of the wildest and most picturesque scenery. A number of workshops, sheds, can tines, and various small buildings cluster about the mouth, and give to an otherwise wild spot the busy hum and noise of enterprise, for the click ing of machinery, whittling of the engine, and hammering from the I blacksmithing is incessant, as the work is continued, day and night, by gangs of two thousand men. who, mi ller M. Favre's direction, prosecute the work. These men have been at work, in varying numbers, however, just four years the present month, land il will take all their energies, united to the work of those on the Italian idc, to finish the undertaking by J880.

Ihe Rhone Valley and by fhe Sini bccoine as famous as any tuitions utterances ever mauc nv me three and tl.rcc-quar- ters kilometres have been completed on the German .side, and about four and a quarter on the Italian. The tunnel will be ten miles long. The workmen employed are almost all Italians, and work eight hours out of twenty-four. Dynamite is used for the purpose of blasting, and all the drills are tli'j ordinary chilled steel, the diamond drill being unemployed. The usual machine for driving the drills is employed, and works entire ly by means of compressed air, which is brought from the reservoirs by means of a large iron pipe. These reservoirs are supplied by a number of condensing engines which arc turned by water, for which purpose a mountain stream is, some way above the north of the tunnel, diverted into a sluice-way. A strength of ten to twelve atmospheres is always main tained. Compressed air is also used to work the engine, which carries its reservoir behind, like a tender on an ordinary engine, only it is about six ty feet long and of a cylinder-boiler shape. It runs easily and smoothly, and, being without any heat, is much pleasanter to work. It is used main ly for hauling the stone from the in terior to a side track, after it is brought away from the immediate vicinity of the blast by means of hol'ses. Although this tunnel and route will take a long time to com plete, it will unquestionably be of the greatest service when time is con sidered, as the roufc is from England to Cologne, along the Rhine to Frank fort. then Hazel, Luzerne and St. Gothard, and you arc in Italy.

You stop into the cage. and the hand that guides the Titan at tho surface touch you are plunging into the gloom. In a moment the lights of earth go out: by the glare of lanterns you know you arc passing dripping timbers: the sounds from above grow fainter and cease, the vapors rise around you as from a cauldron.von hear now and then a rumble in the deeps, as though the dark spirits below were com plaining thai their treasures were be ing thus taken away you listen, ex pecting to hear the muttering* of the I gnomes which guard the sacred slops, and you arc more than a quar ter of a mile below the busy city which you ju«t a few moments before left: from the dusty highway you have stepped into the world's grandest treasure house you have passed from the temperate to the tropical zones in a moment—you are in a Bonanza. It takes but little space to complete the, transition: it takes but a moment' to describe it: but the change is wonderful, and to one of a thoughtful mind, the wonder increases with each]returning visit. It is no little thing to work a mine 1, ."i!0 feet below the surface. True, there are broad avenues there: broad timbers which like Atlas seem com petent fo support the world upon their hrond backs: (here are engin eers at work and cars running but a glimpse of a man there reveals the exertion necessary to keep this con the men are stripped to the waist, those brawny del vers, with perpiiation bursting from every pore, and their bodies shining as i( is said the Spanish vic tims shone in the sunlight when stretched upon the top of Tcocola, ere the Aztec priests tore out their hearts for a sacrifice. Those white breasts have another significance. 1,,mwl 10,828 3,446 13,302 4,758 909 2,336 T1'e llie On the surface servile races may take from the laborer his bread "down in that gloom there is no fear of com petition. The pale faces there hold sway. There the Caucasian race is indispensable, for what is needed among gnomes is a steady brain, a quick, strong hand, and a ruling in telligence. Those strongholds are not stormed until grappled with by the world's ruling races. It looks pleasant down there in the mimic streets and under the lanterns glare, but before those streets were opened there was in the stifting air a work performed which cannot be calcula ted. Picks were swung, drills were struck, powder was burned, men fainted and fell in their places, but the work went on. So it will proceed in the future, and probably after an other sixteen years, thev will be working three thousand feet below the surface, as unconcerned as they now delve at the present levels. We pass through a long drift, and suddenly we find where the attacking column is driving into the ore. The sight is magnificent: hut for tlioso in the cast who fancy that silver mining is a light thing to accomplish, one visit here would dispel the illusion. A glimpse at the work, a glance at the machinery, a few thoughts of the study required to make a successful battle against the rock, the danger and gnomes, would suddenly reveal to them how it is that a tirst-class mi ner has lo be a first-class man, and how, aflcr he completes his education below ground, lie can seize upon the ordinary avocations of life as a stu dent after compassing algebra is nev er more troubled by a problem in arithmetic. Hut we arc on the cage once more, fhe bell up above signals that there is precious freight on board, and in five minutes more we are out of the depths: the blessed sunlight comes to us again, the sum mer strikes us with a chill, wc are out of the depths, and have done the Bonanza. Going Courting. One of the chief compensations of a woman's life is found in the fact that she docs not have "to go a-courtiug." It must be confessed that, in these days, the modern belle docs her share of "fhe wooing, but she does not have to dress up in a still'collar, anil a pair of boots two sizes loo small for her, and walk up to thc cannon's mouth of her inamorata's family, consisting of father, mother, and grandmother, and maiden aunt, and half a dozen brothers and sisters, and inquire in a trembling voice: "Is Miss Arabella at home Y' Whenever a man goes a-courting everybody seems to know all about it. ilis demeanor tells the observant spectator the business he is intent on. He might just as well placard himself with the legend "1 am going court ing." Kverybody is cognizant of it. and looks knowing: and ask him if the Northern lights were bright last night, about one o'clock, and "how thc market is for kerosene up to daily ilrown's,'' and a -core of other ques tions equally out of place. We have in our family at present, a young man who is deeply, wc trust successfully, engaged in going court ing and our warmest sympathies have been aroused for him. When Sunday afternoon arrives it is plain to see that something is about to hap pen. Our young man is fidgety and non-communicative and cannot sit in one place more than half a minute at a time. He is continually interview ing his watch and comparing it with thc old eight-ilay coflin-shaped clock in the corner. He looks in tho glass frequently, and draws his forehead locks first back and then forward, anil combs them up and pats them down, and is unsatisfied with the ef fect throughout. The smell of bay rum and berga mot is painlv apparent. When lie shakes his handkerchief musk is per ceptible. His boots shine like mir rors. There is a faint odor of carda mon seeds in his breath when he yawns. He smooths his budding lit tle mustache with affectionate pats, and feels his invisible side-whiskers continually, to be sure that they are there, a fact which is not established to outside observers by tho sense of sight. He tries on all his stock of neck-tics without finding just the thing and lie has spasms of brushing his coat, thatcoinincncc with violence and last till one grows nervous for fear the broadcloth will never be able to stand it. He declines soup that day at din ner. He says it is because he does'nt feel hungry, but we know it is be cause there' arc onions in it, and onions, as every one knows, do not sweeten one's breath to any great ex tent. If spoken to on a sudden, hc^starts and blushes, and looks as guilty as though he had been caught stealing something, and directly one does not speak to him, he goes back to thc de lightful occupation of staring at noth ing, and waiting for thc hour hand to creep around to seven. At seven he sets forth, clean and tiily from top to bottom, looking pre cisely aisif he had just stepped out of a band-box. Thr Way Piss auk Made.—-The pin machine approaches as near to the dexterity of the human hand as any machine ever invented. It is about the size of a sewing machine, and its work is thus described: A snappish, voracious little dwarf of a machine pulls thc wires, bites it off by inches inccssanfly, one hundred and forty bites a,intitule, and just as it seizes each bite, a saucy little ham mer, with a concave face, hits thc end of the wire three taps and '•upsets" it to a head, while lie grips it in a coun ter-sunk hole between his teeth, and lays it in a groove, where levers and springs, playing like lightning, point the pins, and whence they are drop ped into a box.

LIONESS Fifteen Hundred Feet Under the. How|.One of Barn urn's Beasts Ground, and What May be LOOSE. Frightened the Beholden and Fought out an Old Quarrel. Much excitement was created in Damum's menagerie nt Twenty-sixth street and Fourth avenue. New York, on Wednesday morning, bv the es cape of a young lioness from the cage in which she and three other young cub were confined. The assistant keeper, .lack Parker, had entered bohlly into the "lion's den" for fhe purpose of cleaning out flic cage, and had succeeded in driving flic four cubs info a corner, when suddenly and with great agility the lioness, perceiving the door open, made a spring into the arena.knocking down (he assistant keeper in her course. The on-lonkrrs made no delay in golfing into a place of safely. The brute, however, paid no attention to them, but rushed to the cage of a Hengal tiger in another part of fhe building. There was. it appears, an old fend.betwecn the two beasts since they made together the journey fo New York, and without a deflection in her course, flic lioness was in a mo ment beating herself against the bars of her enemy's cage. The tiger howl ed in defiance, and managed to draw his fierce claws across the face of the lioness, inflicting a severe wound, llcr leonine majesty, moreover, also got in some cll'ective work,and before the fight was over the tiger's bloody head and other marks showed fliat the battle was not all one-sided. The terrific roars of the infuriated beasts had meanwhile attracted a large crowd about, the Hippodrome, and in the absence of Charles White, the tamer, none of Ihe employees dared lo interfere. He was sent for, and on coming into the arena, made a rush at the lioness. A brief contest en sued, the hurley brute offering some resistance, but Mr. White succeeded in forcing her into her cage again, where he whipped her soundly. The Feat of a Brave Woman Mr. Cameron, says the Picton (On tario) Times, was taking a bull from the field to the barn. When near the door of the barn the brute became enraged and made an attack upon Mr. Cameron, who ran from him, and at the same time called his dog and en deavored to urge him to an attack upon the bull. Mrs. Cameron hap pened to hear her husband's call for the dog, and at once ran to his assist ance. When she reached the spot the infuriated beast liad knocked Mr Cameron down, and was goring and treading upon him in a frightful manner. Mr. Cameron had strug gled hard to defend himself, and had caught^ hold of the ring inserted in the animal's nose. This he held to with a death-like grip when Mrs- Cameron came up. In an instant the brave and noble women took in the whole situation, and made an effort to rescue her husband that can only challenge our wonder and admira tion. She, with a great effort, re leased Mr. Cameron's grip upon the ring, and, taking a firm hold upon it herself, literally forced the bull away and dragged him to the field again, and fastened him in. There was no one to assist her except a little boy, who was able to do nothing more than open and close the gate. She then returned to her husband and carried him, bruised and mutilated, to the house. The saddest feature of all is that the vicious brute had done its work too well. Mr. Cameron sur vived but a short time. A Wife's Hard Lot Ictioit Free Press.

The Ingenuity of Si'rgeiiy.—An artificial nose was manufactured re cently for a man in Illinois, whose nose had been bitten oft', in the fol lowing manner: After he was placed under the influence of chloroform, the pattern, two and a half by three and three-quarters inches at its wid est parts, was laid upon thc forehead and outlined with iodine. The skin inside this area was taken out, left fast at the lower end, between the eyebrows. This was then pulled down, turned upon itself, shaped in to the form of a nose, nostrils being cut, and a piece was brought down to make thc division between them, and grafted, as it were, in the upper lip. In thc meantime the sides, where the new nose was to grow, had been freshened by cutting. The stitching was done, the place in the forehead where thc skin was removed attend ed to,and thc operation was complete. At last accounts the operation gave every promise of success. There are single mills at Dahlone ga, Ga., that get out $5,000 worth of gold a month, and not less than $30, 000 worth of gold reaches Atlanta from North Georgia every month, possibly $50,000.

Mr. Hailev first went info the hat business and was suc cessful. lie added the dry goods and merchandise branches to his large trade, and was still successful. These were yet too limited for his broad views of mercantile operations, and he embarked in pork packing. For a while he was successful, hut revers es came, anil he left Wilmington for Cincinnati, with nothing but a good character and business qualifications, in the year 184(1. He embarked in business as a provision broker, which helms followed ever since, with va rying success and misfortunes. At the time of his death, although not possessed of much of this world's goods, lie was universally respected and esteemed by the merchants of Cincinnati, and it might be s:\id that his word was as good as his bond It was not alone iu the line of busi ness that Mr. Ilailey was honored.— His boundlcsscharities, bis self-deny ing efforts fo alleviate thc sorrows and allliction of his fellow men. made him beloved wherever he was known and that was almost everywhere.— Possessed of a fair knowledge of the science of medicine, which he studied in his youth, he was ever on hand at the sick-bed with his counsel, and his services as nurse. When the cholera broke out in 1849, he was untiring in his efforts to help thc destitute and needy. Day and night he was nurs ing and attending the wants of those too poor to pay thc necessary expen ses of hired nurses. After the cpi demic abated in this city and broke out in Sandusky. Mr. Bailey was a volunteer to go to that city at his own expense, to nurse the sick, and give thc terrified citizens the benefit of his counsels and experience. During thc cholcra seasons of 1852 and 18l6, Mr Bailey pursued the same praiseworthy course, and people now live to bless him for his heroic exertions, and mourn his taking-off by an unfortu natc blunder, while in the prime of his usefulness. During the war he was a prominent and effective mem ber of thc Sanitary Commission and was instrumental in alleviating much suffering in the field hospitals, by liis personal presence. lie lias always been a consistent member of thc orthodox society of Friends, and regularly attended pub lic worship at the meeting house cor ner of Eighth and Mound streets, of which congregation he was one of the pillars. It was said of hiin yes terday, that had lie died twenty years iigo, when liis name and his fame for charitable deeds were in the mouths of everybody, no one coulil have died more regretted, or could r,o little have been spared. Having passed tho me ridian of life, and grown in the course of nature unable to take such active part in charities as formerly, except in thc immediate locality of his own home, lie goes to thc grave remem bered by hundreds who have been the recipients of his bounty a quarter of a century ago, and revered and be loved by those who have been inti mate with him in his later years. Mr. Bailey was twice married. His last wife survives him. One of his sons, David 11. Bailey, is American Consul at one of the ports of China. Another son lives in California one ot his daughter!' is the wifo of Joseph Guest, of thc firm of Guest & Atkin son anotucr thc wife of G. G.

The Pool of Siloam as it Now Appears Dudley Charles Warner, in iwrecent article to the Atlantic, says On our way to the Fool of Siloam we passed by thc village of Biloam, which is inhabited by about one thousand Moslems—a nest of stone huts and caves clingiug to thc side-hill anil exactly tho gray color of its stones. The occupation of its inhab itants secins to be begging and hunt ing for old copper coins, mites and other pieces of .lewish money. These relics they pressed upon us with the utmost urgency. It was eas ier to satisfy thc beggars than the trailers, who sailed out upon us like hungry wolves, from fheir caves.— There is a great choice of disagreea ble places in the East, but 1 cannot now think of auv that I should not prefer as u residence, to Biloam. The Fool of Siloam, magnified iu my infant mind as "Siloain's shady rill," is an unattractive sink-hole of dirty water, surrounded by modern masonry. Thc valley hero is very stony, .lust below we come to Solo mon's garden, an arid spot, with patches of stone walls, strugliug to be a vegetable garden, and somewhat green with lettuce and Jerusalem ar tichokes. 1 have no doubt it was quite another thing when Bolomon and some of his wives used to walk here, in the cool of the day, and even when Shallum, the son of (Jol-hozeh set up "thc wall of thc Pool of Siloam by the king's garden." Important Point In aWhisky Suit Mrs. Edna B. Smith brought an ac tion against several saloon-keepers at Webster City for damages in selling whisky to her husband, whereby he deprived his family of the necessaries of life. Judgment was rendered in thc District Court for $500 against llermon Wile and wife, and the judgment was made a lien on the premises where the liquor woe sold. Wile lived over the saloon, and claimed thc premises as a homestead, and that, as such, it was exempt irom execution. The court held that, un der the statute for violation of the whisky law, homesteads were not ex empt. Thc ease will go up to the Supreme Court on that point, which is v. very important one. Every Day Kelioion.—We must come back to our point, which is, not to urge all of you to give yourselves up to mission'work, but to serve God more and more in connection with your daiiy calling. I have heard that a woman who has a mission makes a poor wife and a bad mother this is very possible, and at the same time very lamentable but the mission I would urge is not of this sort.— Dirty rooms, slatternly gowns, and children with unwashed faces arc swift witnesses against the sincerity of those who keep others' vineyards and ncglcct their own. 1 have uo faith in that woman who tells of grace and glory abroad, and uses no soap and water at home. Let the buttons be on thc shirts, let thc chil dren's socks be mended, let thc roast mutton be done to a turn, let the house be as neat as a new pin, and thc home be as happy as home can bo. Serve (Joil by doing common actions in a heavenly spirit, and then, if your daily calling only leaves you cracks and crcviccs of time till these up with holy service.—Spurtjeon.

"But 1 will have." "But s'posc you haven't The cohhlcr couldn't get ovor that and he was looking very serious when thc capitalist got a bright idea, and said: "Wo kin fix dat.

These par ishes are furnished by each side and thc state is claimed according to each estimate by both sides. The demo crats only claim the state by estimat ing the republican parishes of East and West Feliciana, East Baton Rouge Morehouse and Ouchita as having jiven them, as they claim, 4,000 ma jority. No one can dispute hut that the parishes were overrun and intim idated by armed bands of the white league before and on the day of the election. These parishes have always been largely republican. The regis tration in these parishes is, white, 3, 69S blacks 8,709. They gave over 3,000 majority in 1870 by the returns of the fusion democratic board, and thev gave the republican candidate 3,9(.i0 majority on 1874. as conceded bv the democratic state committee. In Ouachita the deputy I*. S. Mar- j„3tances shal was killed on election day anil1 tiie polls taken possession of and run by the white leagno.

Thev admit that we have matchcd our majorities in Bossier, Madison, Tensas, Concordia, Natchc toches, Plaqueminc and St. Charles. Of course, none of these arc official. There arc only about twenty parishes accessible by railroad or telegraph, and the official vote of several remote parishes can't be had for three or four days. The result will probably be close, counting thc vote in thc five bulldogged parishes, as thc demo crats claimed. Not counting these parishes, the white republicans will be deprived of a legitimate majority of nearly 4,000. In no contingency can the democrats have carried the state. It will not be denied that, with scarce an exception, in heretofore re publican parishes, except the live hull-dogged parishes the republicans I'cy,0 g.a.',110,1 0Vr,\UlT ,.,m|"'nl'.ln mity than ever before. hen the re- sulu of this election are in detail, and 1 am rejoiced thc pending exigency thc republicans of Louisiana, their trials, their difficulties, anil the in justice they have so long Millcred un der will be belter understood and ap preciated by the people of thc north.

Most of the republican leaders have been driven away or murdered. Under the state law voters arc enti tled to vote at any poll in thc parish in which he may reside. The colored people generally arc attempting to reach the parish scats in those par ishes in order to vole under the pro tection of the authorities. Numbers of them have been intercepted by the White League pickets, and their reg istration papers destroyed. In some thev have been terribly beaten. Some six hundred colored voters who have managed to evade these pickets and reach the town of ordered by a proclamation of the democratic mayor to leave the town immediately. In West Feliciana sev eral hundred colored men had come in, in like manner, to Bayou Sara, the parish seat. The W bite League of that place, aided by armed bodies from thc adjoining counties in Mis sissippi, have picketed the approaches to the town to prevent others from coming in. These parishes arc large ly republican, but in spite of the in timidation thus practiced, I believe that the overwhelming republican majorities in oilier parishes will give us the state. William P.

General James Connor, on behalf of the Democratic candidates, sub mitted the following paper, in regard fo the jurisdiction of the Hoard On behalf of the citirens of South Carolina, whom we represent, and the democratic candidates of the state, we submit that all acts of the General Assembly authorizing the Hoard of Canvassers to hear and de cide all cases under protest or contcst that may arise in regard to the elec tion of electors for president and vice president, members of congress, and all officers elected at any general election held in this state, are in di rect violation of the twenty-sixth par agraph of the Constitution,and there lore void, and in behalf of the parties aforesaid, we demand that thc Board of Canvassers, now assembled, shall not bear or decide any such oases of contest or votes, but shall only act ministerial in ascertaining from re turns the statements forwarded by thc boards of county canvassers, tho persons who have received the great est number voles for offices for which they were respectively candidates, anil declare the same anil certify it to the Secretary of State." The Board went into secret session to consider the point raised, and after some deliberation the,doors were opened, and Secretary of State, Hoyne. president of the Board, an nounced that as the point of jurisdic tion was a new one the Board would like to hear the constitutionality of thc question argued.

I'pon being asked what his solution was of the present situation, lie said promptly "Everything now depends upon a fair counl." The charge of corruption and fraud made against thc republicans by their political opponents was then dismissed ntlil ll O L«\ lil III A Al A Mr. 4 1. anil he said thc politicians of the South inav instigate all sorts of atrocities and even be parties to them to thc extent of committing murder and nothing much is said or thought about it, but when fairness in election according lo the lawful plan is insist ed upon great complaint is made and there is a charge of unfairness, lie went on to say that in order to he satisfied as well as to have a similar ationnl lvpubli- conviction carried to the minds of thc American people that there would be a fair count of votes for the electors iu Louisiana, he had made up his mind some days since to invito to go to Louisiana certain public men of irreproachable character and respec- would carry conviction to the whole American people. It was not done as a counter movement to that of the democrats under call of their political managers, which latter action he un derstood was in compliance with the request of thc people of Louisiana. He seemed to fed that thc end in view, favoring justice and honesty, would be subserved by the course taken. Incidentally he remarked that thc sending of troops into South Caroli na and the Southern States has jiro- taincil peace. He did not anticipate any trouble if proper precautions were taken in time. All that a rup ture of thc peace needed for its prevention was firmness, promptness and cccision, as %vell as having forcc enough at command to nip it in thc bud. "Do you anticipate trouble in the South, Mr. PresidentI asked. "Oh, no," he replied with a smilo "1 have made it a rule through life never to anticipate trouble.

Thc figures given are therefore mostly estimates. These estimates differ greatly. To repat them in detail would hardly be worth your while. You arc familiar with the democratic claims. The re publicans claim that after giving the democrats all they claim, and accept ing their figures in the greatest ma jority of the counties, Hayes still has a majority of 3,200, juid Chamberlain of about 2,100, but the republicans in sist that their best information from most authentic sources, including all official returns now received or au thoritatively reported to our execu tive committee give llayes a majority of about 2,000, anil Chamberlain about 5,500. That this state has gone for Hayes, we have not a shadow of doubt on cither a democratic or re publican showing we are equally sure of the election of republican state officers and legislature, with a major ity on joint ballot of over 20.

Nov. l-l.—A '/y»«r.vi special from Tallahassee says the I county canvass of the vole of Florida was made to-day, but as nianv of the I places are hundreds of miles from all railway coinmuiiicalion, of-1 ficial returns cannot be placed in the I hands of the board of state canvassers for nt least a week. No figures that can be relied upon have been received from any of the counties to-night, but all scattering returns which have come to hand shows that the repub licans have underestimated, rather than exaggerated their majorities. Hamilton .'•ounly, as far as has been heard from, is the only one in which there was any dispute about the can va-s. in this county, which rightful ly belongs to the republicans, and which it is thought was carried by thc democrats, immediately after the election claimed a majority of 291. Since then ihe ballot-boxes and all legal evidences of the result have mysteriously disappeared, and of course thc managers of the election were unable to make any canvass. The democrats still insist, however, that they have carried the county by the above figures, and demand that they be returned as the result of the election. Of course the managers refused lo do as they wore asked. The democrats will appeal from a re fusal to canvass thc county vote, and will apply to thc Circuit Judge for a writ of mandamus, anil the democrat ic state ccntral committee has sent a lawyer lo Hamilton county to make such an application. If thc Judge refuses to grant a mandamus there is no further appeal except in a quo warrant as to why thc officers, who claim to be elected shall not take their seats Thc state board of canvassers has no power to act upon a poll which is not before them Regarding vacancies in thc board of presidential electors, thc state laws of ISIG provide that all vacancies in the board of electors are to be filled by the electors on tho day previous to that lixed for voting for president. One feature of the contest here, which excites a great deal of interest is thc difference between thc vote cast for Tilden and that cast for (he democratic candidate for Governor. Thc democrats claimed that thc dif ference would not be very great. Of ficial returns nlreadv rcccivcd, how* ever, show that it is so great, that even if Drew has carried the state by a small majority, as is claimed by the democrats. Tilden will be defeated by at least 400 votes. This, it is to be remembered, is Ihe calculation from democratic figures. In Sumptcr Co., Tilden falls behind Drew 11 votes in Duval county 07 votes in Jackson county 411 votes in Washington coun ty 2fi votes in Franklin 13, and in Orange county thirty-four votes or 208 votes in seven counties. At this rate he would be defeated, even if thc democratic State ticket was clcctcd by thc highest majority claimed for it. Thc excitement has greatly in creased here during thc past twenty fonr hours. creep into thc judgments of fliose up-1 Congress and solicitors,anil routining on whom depends the tremendous is- them lo ministerial functions only, counted, the republican majority will Imil no juriwlirtion over the election l.« 1 ,HU\ A .. fcft Alt/t be from 1.200 to 'J.000— it rami ot below 1,KX) votes. fall Tramp Deviltry.
