On Tuesday the State Canvassing Board of Florida metand commenced the canvass. The returns were in from all the counties except one, but, ‘unfortunately for the hope of a speedy result, twenty of these are contested by the Republicans.and nine by the Demoerafs. The result of the electoral ticket, as read from the face of the returns, gives Hayes a majority of 42 votes. ! L L S

Dade county is not yet in. The majority in this county cannot be -over 20 either way. The Democrats have a claim of twenty-three ommitted vofes in Clay county, which appear on the face of the return from that county, and will ve counted probably by comnuea gonsent. This wowia leave a majority of 1V rux the republican electors. ; SIS :

' Later dispatches from Tallehassee -assert that the Démocrats have two “electors by a majority of five votes, one by & majority of three, and the ‘Republicans have elected one elector by a bare majority of one vote. . A Tallahassee dispatch says: “Gav. Stearns claims that the face-returns will -:show 42 -majority for Hayes, ‘This estimat?. includes the 219 Ala+ chua votes, | which, it seems to be agreed, will not be counted, and 12 ‘votes of the acknowledged - overcount in Jefferson coupnty, which will certainly not be counted. Admittipg these 231 yotes the Democrats. still claim 181 majority. for Tilden. There lis not a difference of 10 votes between any Electors.”. - , i Flom the above conflicting dispatches, we can only infer that the result is 80 close in Florida that the official canvass may yet decide -the Presidential contest by declaring the electionof the Tilden electors. - - |

i IN SOUTH' CAROLINA | we have an appalling spectacle—that 'of a rump Legislature, the membets lhaving‘ received their certificates of election through -the most palpable fraud and in direct ‘contempt of the Supreme Court of that State, organizing at the State House under cover of Federal vayonets, while another body, eonsisting of the demoeratic memberselect and two Republicans withdraw and organize in. Carolina Hall. The situation is, briefly, this: The Board of Canvassers, on ' protests .of fraud rejected the returns of two counties giving large democratic majorities and declared -1n favor of the Hayes electors. To this the Democrats protested, and the Supreme Court ordered. the Board to declare the result ac-’ cording to the votes actually cast, as shown by the returns, including the rejected counties. But, intent on carrying out their nefarious- scheme, the rascally Board proceeded at once to instruct the Secretary of State to issue certificates of election to all the Hayes electors, and the various other cindi'dates whom they had declared elected. Certificates were issued. accordingly, rejecting the eight members of the Legislature from the counties of Laurens and Edgefield.. The Court then brought an “action against the Board for contempt, and they were last Saturday fined $1.500 each and imprisoned. On Monday they were again liberated on a writ of habeas corpus, issued by Judge Bond, of the Federal District Court, and/ placed in the hands of a United States Marshal to await the decision of the Court, which was to be rendered yesterday. _- Meanwhile, the Legislature assembled on Tuesday. The State House was guarded by Federal troops, under command-of Gen. Ruger, who refused admittance to all who did not present certificates of election ‘from Governor Chamberlain. = The members from Laurens and Edgefield counties, hold-ing-certificates of elections trom the Supreme Court, were refused admittance, whereupon the democratic members, in a body, withdrew, accompanied by two republican members who refused to submit to bayonet rule. They proceeded to the Carolina Hall and organized as a separate body, consisting of 64 members. The republican body consists of 58 members, which is insufficient for a quorum, the number of members being 124.— Both Houses determined to demand of the Secretary of State yesterday the returns of the vote fur Governor. We “have not learned the result. i

THE LOUISIANA RETURNING BOARD still lingers among the bulldozed parishes, and their nefarious scheme to count in Hayes electors at all hazards is becoming daily more apparent.” On Tuesday Wells, president of the Board, ruled that the returns not at hand by Tuesday next would not be counted. This ruling, taken in connection with the fact that returns are not yet in from one of the five-parishes showing a democratic majority of more than 2,000, evidences the natyre of the job which is being put up on the Democrats. The returns of these parishes are known fo be in the possession of the republican supervisors who have had them since election day, but where they are at this time heaven and the returning board members only know. ' This is evidently a scheme whereby’ the members of thé Board are conniv-

ing to absolutely steal 2,060 votes from the Democrats, ! for they refuse to receive the sworn duplicates of such returns, as the law provides in such cases. The Board did nothing of congequence since, and it is believed that contested returns will continue to be held back until it is too late for a fair count, when they will be thrown aside and the result declared in favor of the Hayes ¢electors. This seems to be the deliberate plan adopted by the Louisiana manipulators to thwart the will of the people. ‘, : | These canvassing boards must all finish their labors and make their returng on or hefore Wednesday next. We await patiently the result. el <G — " THE CROWNING OUTRAGE. g The Republican conspiracy grows in full sight of the people. The full desperation of their plans becomes moré and more apparent every day. When the claim of the three States in contest was first made for Hayes, the Republicans quieted the alarm of all -those fair-minded men who thought they saw in this a design to elect a President by fraud, by saying that they” would be ready to acquiesce in ‘the verdict of the people as soon as it was once ascertained. They protested that Tilden should have these States if they had voted for him. Their inhly object was a fair count and a declaration ot.the President who had } be‘en Ilegail:v elected. 'They would sub‘mit to the verdict, ‘whatever it was, ‘ of the Returning--Boards and, above | all, of the courts. Sy

How fdar this promise has been fulfilled, the people may now judge. The evident determination of.the Louisiana ]}eturning Board to count out the democratic majority of from 7,000 to 9,000 votes has not yet been carried into effect, and we can bide our time. At the same time, the full wickedness of the purposes ofthe Republicans is shown in their refusing to allow the Democrats’ representation on the Louisiana| Returning Board, and excluding their counsel from the rooms; in theu enppressing the returns, as they have admitted over their own signatures, from thirty-two out of thirty-nine counties in Flofid‘ali and 1n the massing of troops in Washington. ; Bt My i

But the worst remains to be told. The Republican Board of Canvassers in South Carolina has disregarded the formal order of the Supreme Court of the State, composed entirely of Republicans, and has fraudulently given the Republicans their State ticket and the Legislature which elects a United States Senator, and counts the vote for Governor. - The manner of the prqceedings’ was as disgraceful as the proceeding itself. The'Supreme Court had granted an order to the Board commanding it to grant certificates of election to all the candidates shown by the returns to have been elected. This would have given the Legislature and a part of the State ticket to the Democrats, and given them the right to count the vote for Governor and eleét the United States Senator. Before the order could be transmitted to the Board in proper form, but not ; before its members had heard’ of it, 'they threw out' the vote of two coun‘ties, s 0 as to reduce the majority of the Democrats to a _minoril;y, and then granted certiticates of election to the whole republican State ticket, and to & republican majoi®y in the Legislature. As soon as they had seram‘bled through this performance, then [t-hey adjourned sine die, and scam['pered off! o This action was confessedly scandalous and disgracefu]. Honest men ~discharging judicial functions do not ‘run away like thieves when their du‘ties have been "done. But taken in ‘defiance of theorder of the highest Court of the State, this action is not ; only in contempt of Court, but of all ‘authority and all decency. But there ‘is. éven a more startling view of it than this. _JIf the Republicans refuse to submit to the Courts, to what will they submit? Have we any guarantee that if the Presidential controversy were refeired by common consent to the Supreme Court of the United States, ‘they would submit "to its‘decision? Does this mean a purpose to inaugurate Governor Hayes in spite of the votes, in spite of the people, in spite even of the Courts?

A GLEAM OF DECENCY FROM AN UN-

. EXPECTED SOURCE. . ' The New York T¢mes (Rep.), speaking of the Louisiana Returning Board, says: “We are bound to say thatsome things which it has done in' the past, as well as some which it isnow doing, do not meet our Idea’of what a body of this kind ought to do. -We qhite agree with- the report.made by Mr. Wheeler, Mr. Hogr and Mr. Frye, that in at least one important point the Board, in its action of 1874, passed beyond what the law said 1t might and should do. We should be glad now if the Board had, before taking up its work, seen the vacancy in its numbers filled by any reputable Democrat whom the demoeratic Committe chose to name. We should be glad, too, if all its proceedings - had ‘been open'to the press, to be . fully reported by republican and democratic :papers of New Orleans, and, as far as they chose, by the papers of 'the other States.” : '

WHICH I 8 THE BEST DEi.EGATION t A good test of the sincerity of the two parties in their efforts for an honest count was given in the respective calls for the distinguished men to go | South. Mr. Hewitt named the most honorable,the most famous, the purest Democrats in the land, Notgone of the long list of names is tainted with dishonor, Mr. Hewitt asked that Republicans would go, so that both parties would-be represented, Whom did Gen, Grant ask to go? Republicans ‘only;-and only Republicans who have been servilé supporters of his Administration. The honorable men of the party were left in the background and the Logans, Kassons and Garfields ‘were sent out as the representatives ‘of the republican party. Which is likely to be mogt sincere in seeking an honest count—Thomas Francis Bayard or John A, Logan? Lyman ‘Trumbull or John A. Kasson? Willium G, Sumner or. James A, Garfield Let the independent voter decide, . - There are now 600 conyicts erowded into (‘Jm’l’;o'l'ttliern’l"l‘iwf)'.,r o e } v ‘ o

JUDGE WILLARD ON THE SITUATION . IN SOUTH CAROLINA, Pending’ the detion of the South Carolina Supreme Court, which was brol}{ght against the Board of Canvassers of that Stste, and in whieh the board was held in contempt of the court for their utter disregard and vi- ‘ olation of its explicit mandates, Judge Willard, .an associate Justice.of that Court, himself a Republican, said: - % % * «Agthe case now stands, an incident has ‘occurred, rare in the history of civilized society. Men cloth‘ed~ with "i‘ﬁ“ authority -of limited character, subject to the courts of the land, have placed themselves in defiance of the highest Court in the State ‘of South Carolina, and are now jeopardizing the security of justice and the security of peace. They are in an. lattitude 'of defiance not only against abstract law, but Jagainst its embodiment in.this Court.. They have bßrought political death for a moment iipon the State and upon the nation. They hold in their hands a firebrand, and they hiave applied it to the whole structure that covers us. While they are thus standing, defving -the power of thils Court, we are now gravely considering the question of ‘issuing another mandate to apother of this board. T cannot believe that when these gentlemen come to’con‘gider; when they come to-night to ask the favor and protectibn of their Godj; when they recall the sanctity of their oaths of office, I do not believe they ‘willFlonger resist the power of this Court. This Court is cl?\thé‘d with i(majesty. We do not speak the voice of men; we speak -in judgment, and judgment is the voice of God. Every i legal power will be exhausted by the Court to foree from them what their ’ conscience does not yield, and whatever loyalty, fealty and justice thers is in the community will be exerted.to compel by force what conscience does not yield. What are we doing? What reason have we for believing that this order will be obeyed any more than the others? What reason have ‘we to believe that this defiance will ceate? We should take into consideration the bearings of this question. The action of this board, in Iny opinion, will do more to call up agenerous spiritin the people and forgetfulness ef partisanship, to cause them to unite upon the high ground of justite and truth, than anything that has been done in the history of the country since its first origin. Has this Court any reason to believe that its process will be respected ?” ' : S<D D § TCROMWELL ITEMS.

’ Do the people of the North realize ‘that Mr. Tilden has received a majority of the popular vote in Louisiana? Do they realize that all the Republican claims of majorities telegraphed ‘North from that State were bused simply upon the .détermination’ to throw oyt votes enough to make them good? Scarcely a word was said. in these dispatches of the charges of intimidation ‘a2nd fraud made since. They were bold claims of actyal majorities, made in order to keep up confidenee iti the North until a scheme of fraud could be matured. Now the republican correspondents in Louisiana gdmif that a majority of the vote cast is againgt thews,; und. yet declare that the electoral wote of the Btate will be given to Hayes! Could there be anything more jnfamous than this?

Jan. 15, 1875. R R Your committee are “therefore constrained to declare that “the action of the returning board i “rejecting these rvtarns in the Parish *of Ra;‘ldes. andgiving the seats for “that Pa.x";ish to the republican candi“dates was arbitraryurfair and WITHSOUT WARRANTQF LAW. i % o % [ “The action of the returning board “in the Parish of Rapides alone chang-, “ed the political complexion -of the' “lower House, but their action in oth“er Parishes wais equally objectiona- “ hles” -

The committee then cites other instances of illegality :::d abuse of power by the retuging board, and go on to say: “Witheait now referring to “ other instances we: are constrained “ to-declare thatthe action of the re-

“turning board,on the whole, was AR- “ BITRARY. UNJUST AND IN OUR OPIN- “ 10N ILLEGAL; wnd that this arbitra“ly, unjost, #@d illegal aetion alone “ prevented the hgurn by the board of “a majority of thé conservative mem*“bers of the lower fouge.” :

The committee Sults yp the result in the following words: “ In the State of “ Louisiana there is a Goverspr in of“fice who owes his seat to the intes- “ ference of the nativifal power, which “ has recognized lhis title to his office, “not by reason of the ascertainment of “the faets by legal process, but has “ based. its action lsolely‘%\(‘m the illegal “order of a Judgeof the Federal Court. “In the same State there is a Legisla“ture, one branch of which detives its “ authority from the same order; the *other being organized by a majority “ who have Leen established in power “by apother interference of the Nu“tional Government, and which major“ity derives its title not from any le“gal ascertainment of the facts, but “from the certifcate of a returning “board which has misconceived and éax- “ ceeded ITS LEGAL AUTHORITY.” -

Therefore at thetime this report waili ' made by these fhree republican congressmen, (embgacing. Wm. A. Wheel# er, the late républican candidate for® the Vice Presidency), every branch of that government exhibited .to the American peovle the spectacle of an Exeeutive officer put there by national authority, based upon an illegal order; one branch of the Legislature oxying its authority to the same illegal order, and the other branch having a majority based upon another illegal order.— Illegality imbeded in: illegality, and upon the whole a colossal despotism crushing down'the rights, interests and liberties of the people of Louisiana. - ‘And this same returning board,— Wells, An.derson, -Kenner, and Cassanove—the offspring of Southern, car-pet-bag rule, is now, in this grave emergency, about to ad'judica.ne,' determine, and decide, not upon the electipn only of State officers, but National and Stataiilike. . | oii i ; We have read their record as writteu by republican congressmen in (875 ; shall we “gather figs of thistles?” We shall see. i

“ANOTHER TRICK.” The New York Heralg an independent republican journal, has become thoroughly disgusted with the knavery and scheming of the southern Radicals in their persistent efforts to carry the contested States for Hayes, regardless of what the returns actually show, and gives vent toits indignations, under the above caption, in the following séathing language: “Our New {Orleans correspondent telegraphs that the Returning Board has determined to hear evidence on charges of intimidation, in seciet session. Why secret? What are these men thinking of? 2 Do they imagine that ' there is no power of indignation among ' Northern Republicans? Can they not see that -by their -tricks and secrecy theysare making public satisfaction with the counting in:of Mr,. Hayes an impossibility? ' They will! hear evidence in secrét session, and will then make up the }otals of the Stateiand electoral ;vote om the' day the electors are to meet,| we are told, 80 as.to prevent appeals to the courts; that is to say, they mean to repeat, bu:4s with an adroit improvement, the South Carolina trick. | Is it not time for honest Republicans all over the North to speak out? to let these political gamblers Know tha they must stop? 'l'he Democrats are silent and passive; that is their duty; they must remain so. But the republican merchants, lawyers, clergy, farmers, mechanics—can theyi afford to remain silent when such things are done in South Carolina and preparing in Louisiana? Evidence accumulates that there is a concerted plot to count in Mr. Hayes in the tliree disputed States by open and shameless trickery. That is not what the republican mass-. es want. They wish fair play. Isit not time for them to speak outin public meetin gs?”

. PRUDENCE, tact and foresight, as well as knavery and scoundrelism in general, are essential factors in the dark appliances to a Louisiana Returning Board’s success in fabricating returns and e\fidunce of intimidation. Thus the opening and breaking the seal in public, for a pretended show of honesty in the Board on last Saturday, of the package containing the returns from De Soto parish, and enteréd on the bouks, of the Board as received on November 18, and containing the affidayit and protest of the Supervisor of that parish, dated ‘and sworn to November 25, 'chargiqz general intimidation, demonstrates the fact that ‘said Board possess more zeal than: judgment in making an homest count.

H> Councils Peace and Coneciliation.;

In vigw of the I‘éVqutiomu'y proceedings. of the South Carolina Board of Canvassers, in throwing out two democratic counties of that commonwealth and thus counting in the Hayes electors and republican State officials, to whom they issued certificates of election in open violation of law “and in defiance of the Supreme Court of that State, which had given explicit instructions to include said counties, Hon. Wade Hampton; the democratie candidate for Governor, has issued the following noble and patriotie address to his constituents: = = - :COLUMBIA, S. C,, Nuv. 22, 1876.—To the People of South Carolina : 'l'he Board of Canvassers have, by their unprecedented action to-day, shown not only cheir écontempt and: detiance of the Supreme Court of the State, but their utter disregard of their own official integrity. - While the grave questions determining the result of the recent election were pending before the Supreme Court, composed of three Judges belonging to- the republican party, and in direct violation of the orders of this tribunal, the Board have issued- certificates of election to the Republican Presidential Electors, and to the republican State officers, and 'have refused to give certificates to the democratic members of the Legisla‘ture shown Ly the returns of this same Board to have' been elected in the counties of Edgefield and Laurens. This high-handed outrage is well C‘ﬂculated to arouse the indignation of our long-suffering people, but I assure them that'this daring and revolutionary act of the *Buoard can-have no legal force whatever. e L appeal to you, therefore, in the fullest confidence that the appeal will not be unheeded, that you will maintain, even under this provocation, your character as an orderly and lawabiding people. ' During the past exciting canvass you. have studiously avoided even the gemblance of a purpose to disturb the public peace, or to transgress the law. Your cause, and it is:the cause of the Constitutional Government of the country, has been carried to the highest court of the State, and we are willing to abide by its deecision, feeling assured that this tribunal will see that the laws shall be enforced and justice secured. i [Signed] = WADE HAMPTON.

“THE LOUISIANA FORGERY.” | .'_'v ! 1 : = & " . A‘, \—g\\ It is Publicly Denounced by -a Prom-" inent Administraiion Organ-.gj: b As we had anticipated, the persist- | ent determination of' the rampant radical ring-masters of the contested | ‘Southern States to count Hayes in.at | all hazards, regardless of all semblahce to honesty andfairness and in open defiance to law and the mundates of the courts, has excited the indignation of horest Republicans all over the country, andithe more respectable of the administration press are now openly denounting ‘these wvillainous schemes 1o thwant the popu- | lar will. We quote from the Chicago Tribune of the 27thiinst: - i *There is ]jmle‘_l‘?)llht there was - dei\ljilwmte effort tolimpose upon the Lo.uisia,u;t__Rel;urni;ui;Bmu"d by. forged returns in the case of DeSoto Parish, which came up on S turdiy. A pack age was opeued, purporting to be the originad returns from that county, and. which Mr. Wells, the President of the Board, said, had been received on the 18th inst. When opened, it was discovered that there was a protest dated the 25th inst., (the samé day it was opened), and sworn to bhofore-a Commissioner of the Cirewit Court in New Orleans. . The signiticance of the | protest is thab the returns cannot be questioned under the law 'without it. The discrepancy of dates in this ease attested at once the fraud, It was immediately assmumned that the o iginal, package had been opened and the returns tampered with, and the situa‘tion certainly placed the Returning Board in an embarrassing and suspicivus attitude for the time being.— - But Mr. Wells still maintained thata package of returns hall bLeen received | on the 18th inst, and indeed the clerk’ then found and produced another package, - which was evidently the original and -genujne return, and which contained no protest. The in-: ference is that a bogus' return was first introduced in the interest of the Congressional or Legislative candiqates, with the edannivance, or at least the knowledge, of the clerk; that it was immediately discovered by the vigilanee of the inspection; that it was cast aside, and the genuine re-. turn exacted.

It 18 clearly the duty of the Board, however, to discharge the clerk and present him' to the Grand Jury for complicity in.the attempted forgery. 1t seems almost certain that he knew the package which he first presented was not the original package whicli had been received ion the 18th inst. and which he wasg §ubsequent-ly forced to produce. 'Il; Wwas not evident what the purpose was of introducing the forged recurns, with the protest, sinee the actugl count of the vote in DeSoto Parish shows Tilden to have received 1,306| votes -and Hayes 898, while thewote of 1874 was 1,257 democratic and only 216 repubs iican,—showing on the actual poll a large increase of republican votes., It is probable ‘that the election of some minor candidate might be secured by the rejedtion of the -vote, and the clerk of the Board was used to bring it about. 'The failure of this attempt at fraud, the insisting of the Board upon; the production of the original return, and the prompt reproot ot the republican spectators, ' should, with the discharge of the clerk who seems to have acted as the lagent, rather increase than diminish publie confiderice in the hope that the canvass will be made thoroughly and the result ascertained fainly. gl i

VIEWS OF HON, LYMAN TRUM . BYVLL GR THE SITUATICN. -

’Extraot Irom a Letter to. His Son, e Under Date of Nov. 19. : ~] You are no doubt disappointed that you do not hear wmore fully from us. We cannot telegraph anything private, as all messages seem to be taken off the wires. Sin e The Democrats have duplicates, or copies of: returns from most of the State, and by telegraph from all the State, which they believe to be reliable, giving them a little over eight thous ' and majority. The Republicans will giveno figures, but deny that the democratic majority is so farge. Warmoth and others admit about 6,000, majority, which they say will be rejected by the State returning board on aecount of intimidation, &c., sv as to give the’ Republicans the State. The official returnes are all in the hands of -the Republicgns, who can-hold them back and manufacture affidavits, without its being known to their adversaries. The returning board claims the right .to reject any. poll when satistied that there was intimidation tending to prevent a free and fair election. i . The Republicans say the proef of intimidation will be overwhelming, while the Democrats say there is nothing of it, and any affidavits to that effect must be mansufactured. i = 0 I am one of a commitiee appointed to stay here, and may pot bé home for some time. 1 dislike to remain so long, but 1 regard the situation now as the most eritical in our. history. - It is unfortunate that the returning board is composed entirely of Re.pufb-. lican partisans. . Many of our friends believe that there has been a conspiracy from the beginning, the board and local authorities tacitly agreeing, if assured of military protection, to see to it that certificates of election were! give to the Hayes electors, and that Sheridan and thearmy are here for | that.purpose. If this is se, an attempt will doubtless be made to prepare the northérn mind for the contemplated action by telegrams and correspond- | ence from Republicans here, and perhaps by -legal and semi-official opin= ions promulgated from Washington. 1 do not myself despair of a reasonably fair count in this State. We shall have it if we carry Flonda, and, even if the Presidency bangs on the result here, I do not see how, without committing such palpable injustice and wrong as w&l_:l take from the de cision all weight-before the country, the returning board, even if so disposed, can commit any great iniguity { in the presence of the committees. There is -no sort of necessity for troops here. . New Orleans is as%quile'! and safe as Chicago. I doubt if the. excitement is as great bere as therg, and there is no danger of an outbreak. . The machinery by which this state is controlled is perfectly infamous, but the people feel they must submit to the federal goverment. and it requires no troops to keep order.
