. A VERY perceptible, effect of the #+ard times in this country is noticeaide in the falling off in immigration siuring fhe past twelve months. For the year ending Nov. 1, 1875, the total _number of immigrants landing at New ! York was 84,560, while for the corres- . ponding period ending Nov. 1, 1876, ile whole nuniber of arrivals was but $2555—a. decrease of about 15 per cent. The p’revaleqce of hard times in this country, it seems, is well known ia Europe, and the effect has been that the immigrants for the most part uave been confined to those who could fetch with them enough to relieve ibem from necessity of finding ready employment. As heretofere, a full ihird of the whole number .have- reuiained in the city of New York, where they will have éxcellent opportunity ‘wi experiencing the hardest of hard times. The most notable 'falling off in jmmigration was in that from Iretand, which from 19,924 in 1875, fell 0 9,724 in 1876. As for the last few Fears, the hedviest immigration is . from Germany, which also showsa falling off, sinking from an aggregate

THE LORD ONLY KNOWS!

For the Count Still Goes On, and » the Result Remains an Un-

guessed’ Conundrum.

The Democrats are C_onﬁdent and Hopeful; the Radicals Deter- .. .mined and Relentless.

Who will be’ the next President? It is as-difficult to-day as it was one week ago to give anything more definite than an opinion as to whas will be the ultimatum of -the Presidential muddle. The “count” still goes on and there is no certainty ‘when -it will end. Democrats are still confident and hopeful that truth will yet prevail and that® 7Tilden will be declared, as he has undoubtedly been indicated by the popular will to be, thie legally elected President of the United States. On the other hand, the Radicals are as relentless in their. claims, and as persistent in their efforts to count in Hayes as they ever have been. The returning. boa‘r‘a;;_of Louisiana met on Monday and commenced the count of returns from parishes ffrom' which ‘there are no protests. 'flllxéy‘counte’d l the returns of-threp parishes on Mon- ' day and six ‘more on _'Fﬁesd:ay, in none of whichthere were any claims ’or suspicion of frz}‘tid, When a’ parish is reached where -there are claims of irreg‘lﬂm'ities, the returns are laid aside-for future action. The modus

operandi is thus described in an as-

sociated press dispatch: “Thereturns of ‘& parish are taken -up, placed on the table where the Chairman of the two - Committees, Democratic . and Republican, are seated. by the side of the members. These -genflemen are tlgen’invfted to examine them and seie whether they have been disturbed or tampered with. The i‘etux_‘ns are then opened and the consolidated vote of the.parish for each Elector called off. The returns are then handed to the clerks, who verify the additions made by the Commissioners of Election. If these prove correct, the members of the Board sign and appro\’e them.” . i ;6 “The work of counting in parishes where there is no doubt about the legality of votes, is comparatively a small job, but_when they strike ‘the first cdntesﬁ,ted parish it will probably take a full day to pass upon it, and at that rate there is no telling when it will end. ' oA

Of the nine Louisiana parishes canv:_lsséd on Monday and Tuesday, only ‘two gave democratic majorities, showing that the most protests are by republicans in democratic parishes. Senator J. E. McDonald,Bf this State, has réturned - home and expressed himself hopeful of . the result. -He was furnished satisfactory evidence, by the negroes themselves, that thousands of them voluntarily voted for Tilden, and is convinced that the rumors of intimidation are chiefly mere fabrications. of the Kellogg ring at New Orleans, and that it will be impossible for:them -to overcome the democratic majorifies by their infamous scheme. oo . FLORIDA HOPEFUL.- _ There is ‘the shadow of a promise of fair dealing in Florida in spite of Zach Chandler’s troops and money. Judge White, of the_ State Supreme Court, has_granted an injunction on the prayer of the Democrats restraining the ambitious Stearns from his contemplated obedience to Chandler’s command to “count by himself.” Yes-. tei‘day the court was asked for a mandamus compelling a beginning of the count forthwith, and also that it be continued until all the returns are in.

' ‘A DARK PAGE FROM HISTORY, : - Every intelligent citizen knows that the legal government in Louisiana ‘was counted out by fraud four years ago. No fair minded Republican attempts to deny the fact, in face of the refusal of the United States Senate to admit any of Keilogg’s Senators to seats. But in fout years the popular recollection of these events has grown somewhat dim, and a brief outline of them will give the people of theNorth a clear;idea of the outrage, which, there are too inany reasons to fear, will b e attempted again, in order to Qeprive Gov: Tilden of the position to which he has been legally elected.

The Returning Board, of infamous memory, was composed of the Governor, the Lieut.-Governor, the Secretary of State, and two Senators. . In 1872 two of @hese officials, having been removed. by the Governor, formed a Returning Board of themselves, filled vacancies and procceeded to count the ballots, which always remained in possession :of the other and legal Board. It was this count of ballots, which the tanvassers never saw, which declared W. P. Kellogg Governor of Louisiana. And it is this same Governdr 'who is now preparing, there is every "‘reuso’u to believe, to use the same machinery to count in Rutherford B. Hayes! In 1872, just after the election, Kellogg filed a complaint before Judge Durell that 10,000 persons had peen denied "registration; that from 3,000 to 5,000 blacks had been deprived of the right to vote, that balllots énough to elect him had not been fcou‘ntc'd; that the returns were about to be destroyed, ete., ete. Durell who goes down to history as “the drunken Judge,” declared the Kellogg Board legal, andéenjoined Mr. McEnery from making any claim to the office of Gov-

ernor. Warmoth checked this movement by approving a law which had been passed at the lasb session of the Legislature, but -not yet acted on, abolishing all existing Boards of Canvassers zmd_ authorizing the Governor tc appoint a new=one. e approved the law, and appointed a Returning Board. - This, under. the Constitution of Louisiana, he could legally do. This Returning Board canvassed the votes actually cast and declaréed McEnery elected Governor. ST

This was supposed to be the end of the matter; but the same night, though no application for troops had been made, Attorney-Gen. Williams telegraphed to Marshal Packard that he was to enforce the decrees of the United States Courts, and that Gen. Emory would furnish “all necessary. troops for that i)urpose.”f The same official, by order of the President, had refused 'troops a few months before, when they were called for by the Gov-ernor-and Legislature. Durell’s “midnight order” was now issued, ordering the Marshal to take possession of the State House, and prevent the assemblage of the McEnery Legislature. Packard, and other Kellogg officials, including the latter’s own counsel, af-’ terward testified that this was issued by Durell on his motion and without, application. ' o

_ Of this order and the others, Senators Carpenter, Anthuﬁy, Logan, and Alcorn, all Republicans, said,in their report: - “Viewed in. any light, the order and .injunctions made and granted by Judge Durell, in this cause, are ‘most reprehensibly erroneous in point of law, and are wholly void, for want of jurisdiction; and your committee must expresstheir sorrow and humiliation that a Judge of the United States would have proceeded in such a flagrant disregard of his duty, and have 8o farzoverstepped‘_thelimfts of Federal jurisdiction.” - - : Under Durell’s order the Kéllogg Returning Board declared Ke'llogg's‘ majority to be 18,861. This extract from the testimony before the Senate Committee, shows how this accurate m'ajorityy was obtained—[Mr. Lynch, was a member of the Kellogg Board which was called the Lynch Board atter him]: - :

| Mr. Lynch. We-took all the evidence we had before us; and on knowl- | edge of the: parishes and their politi- | cal complexion, and then we decided. Senator Carpenter. You estimated it, then, upon .the basis of what you ‘| thought the vote ought to have been. | Mr. Lynch. Yes, sir; that was just the fact, and I think on the whole we were pretty correct. L | The “evidence”. was afterwards found to consist of newspaper articles, | letters and several thousand affidavits, | discovered to have been all forged, by | negroes, that they had been’deprived | of the right to vote. . This Boasd, which declared Kellogg’s majority to be 18,861, never had an official I‘§tum ‘before it, and this pretended accuracy was sheer, impudent falsehood. Both Legislatures organized, and John MecEnery and 100 of the wealthiest citi- ‘| zens telegraphed to Washington that | they were about to come North to lay their case before the President, and prayed him not to recognize e\git,her government until he had heard them. Williams, the Attorney-General, sent. an insolent reply that.the visit would be “unavailing;” that “the President’s decision is made, and will not be. changed.” : The Senate investigation followed, ~and. the report of the majority of the Committee, signed by Senators Carpenter, Logan, Alcorn and Anthony, concluded as follows: - - “ It is the opimion of your Committee, that, but for the unjustifiable interference 'of Judge Durell, whoge; orders were executed by the United States troops, the canvass made by the De Feiret Board, and promulgated by the Governor,declaringMcEnery to have been elected Governor, and . also declaring who had been elected to the Legislature, would have been acquisced in by the people, and that: governm(int would have entered quiet~ lyfupon the exercise of the sovereign. power of State. * *ooWe have already seen that the proceedings of that Board (the Kellogg Returning Board) cannot be sustained without disregarding all the principles | of law applicable to the subject, and | _ignoring the distinction between good faith and fraud. * s Con- | cerning all the facts established before your Committee, there seems no es- | cape from the alternative that the | McEnery Government must be recog- | nized by Congress, or Congress must | provide for a new election,” ’ The Senite, however, was still toq : much under the influence of President | Grant to carry out the recommendar | tions, though they came from some of | bis warmest friends. TheKe'Hogg : Government was recognized, and the | ctowning outrage of -the gentury was |

thus made complete. The Senate, however, stultified itself by refusing to admit either of Kellogg’s Senators, thereby acknowledging that its former action was unjustifiable. = ° This is an accurate and impartial history of the Louisiana outrage. Is there to be another? . Do the Repub]ican‘managers suppose that it Louisiana has gone Democratic the Anerican people will permit the man who was made Governor by such.means to countin by the same methtd a Presi dent who has not been legally elected ?- God forbid that they should make the attempt, for they do not know the awful storm that would bréak upon their heads. = . i

. REASONS ENOUGH. i The republican papers are engaged in mvosts elaborate attempts to prove. that South Carolina, TFlorida and Louisiana have no “reasons” to be democratic, that they are naturally republican: let us see. In South. Carolina the actual and adjusted debt'in, 1865 was $13,033,964; in 1871 it was $22,480,914; increase, $9,441,950. In 1860 the property valuation amounted to $490,000,000; in 1870, $170,000,000; decrease 67 per centi— The tax levy in 1869 was $500,000; in, 1873, $2,700,000; increase, 500 per cent.y In 1860 the legislative expenses were $40,000; in 1873, $291,000; increase, nearly 700 per cent. ’ In Florida, in 1865, tlie actual and adjusted debt was $1,307,617; in 1870, 816,556,072 increase, $15,183,455. In Louisiana the actual and adjusted debt at the close of the svar was $13,357,999; in 1872, $41,864,473; increase, $28,506,474. he

The army oflicer on duty in East. Baton Rouge says the election there was very peaceable; that he has bad no- complaint of intimidatio%,-‘mi-d that hundreds of uegroes voted with the Democrats. -An eminent citizen of Bast Feliciana says negroes there made no concealment about vyoting with the Democrats, and hundreds did so. The only one intimidation was that of .a white man who was; publicly whipped by negroes for leaving the republican party. In Ouachita, which-gave the Democrats 1,600 majority and which has a majority- of, negroes, the full registered vote was polled, lacking only 100.. In Richland Parish, also, there was a large -vote for Tilden and Nichols by negroes, The worst case against the Demogmts is found in a parish where no republican vote was returned. This is accounted for by:the statement that when Kellogg found that the parish was going for the Democrats anyway, instructions were given to Republican negroes not to , vote at all, as a basis for an application to throw out the parish.. It is a little rémarkable that ‘in parishes where intimidation is alleged troops were stationed and the county offices .were in the possession of Republicans. : The same dispatch gives the following facts about the personnel of the Returning Board. - : The Republicans now concede that the votes actually cast and reported give Tilden over 7,000 majority. All the members of the Returning sloa.rd are now in the city. All of the Northern men here are disgusted Wiﬁl its personnel, but Kellogg says, with a chuckle, that there is no way of chariging it. One of the colored members, ‘one Cazanova, is an undertaker, and the. otherj Kennet, is a negro who used to be a waiter in a gambling-sa-loon, and was discharged for robbing the proprietor’s tjil. It is geuerally agreed that the board is purchasdble, but neither party is likely to tike the responsibility of" making them an offer. 1 ;

THE trial of the Younger brothers for the murder of Heywood, the heroic Cashier of the Nortbfield, Minn., Bank, was begun on‘Monday at Fairibault, and terminated quite suddenly and unexpectedly by the entering of a plea of guilty by each of the three prisoneérs. They were therefore prompt1y sentenced to imprisonment for life in the Penitentiary at Stillwater, and ‘thus is ended, it is to'be hoped, the. eventful career of three of the most desperate villians that ever went unhung. It would have been gratifying, the Chicago 7'ribune remarks, to have seen the dgéath penalty inflicted in puniShinent of their crimes, but they' have been overtaken by a doom searcely less terrible and appalling to'men of their .yearsy—a life-imprisonment which -no Gosernor of Minnesota will ever dare to shorten by so much asjaday. aia e ;

. The Louisiana Returning Board. It is no wonder that the Radical papers betray a degree of safety that almost breaks into unconfined joy when they signify their willingfiess to leave the result of the presidential election to the returning board. of Louwwsiana. This is the way it worked two years ago, an evidence that all will admit is from good: Radical authority. Matt @ Carpenter, in his speech on the Louisiana case. January 30, 1874, gave a pleasant picture of the tvorking of the returning board which is to count in Hayes: “Oue pleasant little gentleman - swears, ‘with a smiling face, that he himself forged 1,200 affidavits in éne day, and delivered them to Mr. Bovee, sitting in the board, and Bovee said that he was a, ‘hell of a fellow,” and asked if he could not get more of the same kind, and he said he could get 300 or 400 more of the same kind by 9 o’clock the next morning if necessary.”— What a gentle, amiable set of scoun-. drelsthey all are, to bé sure.

South Carc¥ma and the President; . (From the ¥. Y. World,; Nov. 19.) The result of the Presidential election in South Carclina now dépends on the Supreme Court of that State.— South Careling is in so far more fortunate thau Louisiana, that the courts are open to het people as they are not | open tu the people of Louisiana, for the revision and remedy of ‘any alleged error and jvjustice of the Board of State _Canvaséers; No lawsuit, as 2 rule,can be prosecuted with advantage in the newspapers; and we advise our readers therefore to reserve their opinians about the upshot in South Carolina until the proper tribunal there shall have passed upun the case. -~ What is thus happening in South Carolina is procisely what the Presidents in his recdnt military orders, seems to have intended should happen. in Louisiana. But Mr, Stoughton and Mr. Van Alen, of New York, now in Louisiana, evidently intend that this thing shall not happen in that State. They do not- meun, if they can prevent it, to ailow a count of the votes actually east in Louisiana. It really is e?i\-ifying to see the Radical press now attempting to “bulldoze” Grant for the very orders which a little more .than a week ago were commended as the perfection of official wisdom! Are the Radicals beginning to suspect that’in plaving with the Président they mayv Le playing with fire?' Yesterday we were assured by them that Grant would concentrate troops enough in Washington to inaugurate the President who should be “legally” declared elected, and that Grant - would take good care that no other person should be so inaugurated. But'it the House forbids its tellers to count, and; those tellers do refuse-to count, the v¥ote of Louisiana, as they did. in 1873, while the Presideént of the Senase does, nevertheless, for himself; and as teller for himself, count the vote of Louisiana, and by reason alone ot such counting thereafter declares Hayves to be President, is it certain that Grant will thereupon say that Hayes has been “legaily” declared elected? Or suppose the House, having forbidden the counting of the vote of Louisiana (as General Butler says it has the right to do), and finding thereupon that no candidate has a .majority, proceeds to elect, and does elect, Tilden to be President, is-it certain that Grant will then deny that Tilden has been “legally” elected P In- South Carolina the counting is going on as it ought to go on. The canvassers first assembled and counted all the rballots Yactually cast.’= Now comes the inquiry whether any ballots are to be, or can be, excluded for illegality, and over this exclusion the Court is holding a revisory hand. ‘ln South Carolina the country is like‘ly to get what Stoughton and Van Alen dg not intend slmil be got from New Qrleans, and that is: first, a statemeént of thd exact condition of the ballot-boxes | wh}e’n the " voting closed; and, secondly; & statement of the ballots thmwniimt, and of the reasons for tlirowing them out. The Republicans in Lduisiana intend to deal’ with each precinet or pollingplace; by itself, either rejecting or counting it, and thus to prevent Con--gress from ascertaining the number of ballots “actually cast’’ in that prec¢inet! i 0

Horrors ¢f the East Xngia Cyclone. The details of the Cyclone, with its accompanying tidal-wuve, which recently ravaged the coast of India, are almost too horrible for belief. No such slaughter of human life by the elements has ever before been recorded. In one night, and in the twinkling of an eye, 300,000 human beings. were swept out 0f existence. | The localities whieh were ravaged appear to have been three large islands—Hattiah, Sundeep, and Dakhan Shahabozhare, somé smaller islands, and a portion.of the main land in or near the estuary of the River Megus, on the southern shore of Thdin, the submerged territory containing about 340,000 people of whom 300,000 were drowned. The coast at this point is entirely flat and low, bearing the same relation to the ocean that our prairies do to the lake. The land is cultivated for,rice, and coptton like other bottom lads, is penetrated by bayous .and rivers, and stretches back upon a perfect level to the mountain ranges, . The monsoons set in. about the middle of ‘October, and this year have blown with terriffic violence. On the night of Oct. 31st no dunger was feared, although' the storm was raging with great severity, but one hour latera liuge wave twenty feet in height and miles in length, followed by smaller rollers, came tearivg in from the sea with the swiftness of a race’hotse. Evéry human being who could not escape.to the tops of the trees' was drowned. The hoases. which are low one-story structures,” were smashed like eggshells and swept away. Cattle and all other anniinal- were drowned. Nothing was left that huge tidalwave struck, except trees here:and there, One mpay form some conception of the awful scene says, the Chicago Tribune, by imagining some terrible whirlwind lifting up a wave on Lake Michigan twenty {feet high, stretching trom thenorth to the south limit of the city. and in an instant of time engulfing Chicago and drowning over two-thirds of its people, a calam- | ity compared with which our flery visitation would appear insignificant. It adds to the terrorof the eventithat the stench from the putrefying bodies ha& developed chelers among the survivors, and that fam'ne has also added its ravages to increase the fearful and pitiable condition ofthiese people. In all the world’s record of horror, in all the ravages of fire, earthquake, or even the bloodiest: ways, it is hardly possible to recall anythiug surpassing this Indian horror. . .\’ i

an Polrtieal Reficetions. Py The San Fransisco Bulletin, a leading republican paper, in its issue of the 9th inst., speaks thus of the reccnt election and the causes of republican Josses: S ; ~ The lesson ot thecampaign is not difficult to read, no watter whether Gov. Hayes i 8 elected by a small majority of outlying States,implying a ‘minoiity of'the popular vote, or defeated. Many of the leaders of the republican party had by their acts forfeited the public confidence. 'There wag a loud warning given to them by the tidal-wave, as'it was called, in 1874-’5. They were deprived of the control of the House, and were confined to the Senate and the Administration. They did not seem, however, to take the warning in its fu}l bearing, for one of the most objectionable of them was the chief candidate for the nomination. Gov. Hayes, a highly regpectable and patriotic citizen, with as fair a record as a man could have, and possessed of good abilities, was selected as the standard-bearer of the party subsequently, not by an act of deep thought and meditation, but as a compromise among the antagonistic leaders. - S

She was: buried in: the customary way. Several days after interment the people in the neighborhood began to murmur and a suspicion was created that foul play had taken place. She was -buried about nine days when the excitement became so intense that it was agreed upon to raise thé body and hold a post-mortem examination. Drs.
