RENSSELAER UNION ’Thundw. MofWdxr 18, 1876.

THE RESULT OF THE ELECTION.

That Rmherford B. Hayes of Ohio m 4 William A. W heeler of New York were elected president and vloe president, respectively, of the United States ou the 7 th day of November, 1876, Toe Union now has no doubt. It is true that the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, lowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Nevada, California, Oregon and South Carolina, with 173 elec tor al votes, are all that are conceded to them by the democratic papers, while democrats claim and republicans consent that Messrs. Tilden and Hendricks carried Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Indiana, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Arkansas and Texas, with 184 electoral votes. This leaves the latter ticket minus one vote of a majority, while the former requires twelve votes to place it ahead. Louisiana and Florida, the former with eight and the latter with four votes, are Still bi dispute. If the republicans carried both, they elected their candidates by a bare majority of one, but both states are necessary to secure their election. If the democrats carried either Louisiana or Florida, then Mr. Tilden will be inaugurated president of the United States on the Sth day of next March. At first, democratic papers and prominent members of that party claimed to have carried not only all of the southern states and the northern states now conceded to them, but also Illinois, Wisconsin, California, Oregon and Nevada. One by one these have slipped from their grip, until now they rest their changes of success almost wholly upon the canvass of the vote of Louisiana. That the leading newspapers and the best informed democrats are satisfied in their own minds that Mr. Hayes has been elected president in the manner provided under the constitution appears to us to be beyond doubt. The eagerness with which they seize upon every pretext to contest the election of an elector who is reported to rest under some technical cloud, and discuss the probable effect of such a proceeding, is strong presumptive evidence that they have little faith indeed in their claims to Louisiana and Florida. The New York St/n, which is certainly one of the best informed aad ablest democratic journals of the country, on Monday thought that the republicans better let Mr. Tilden be inaugurated, because everbody conceded co him within one of a majority of the electoral votes, while democrats everywhere ■disputed Mr. Hayes’ claim to more -than 173 votes, or twelve less than a majority. It argued that if Mr.j Jlayes was inaugurated president it would ruin the republican party and they conld never elect another president, therefore it would be much better for the future of the republican party to consent for Mr. Tilden to be installed into office, «ven though he should fail to ae«ure the requisite number of votes for an election. The Chicago Time* of yesterday weakened very perceptibly on its claim of South Carolina and Louisiana, and treated the democratic leaders in those atatesto a characteristic dose of abuse because of their reported adre P u * >^c * B electors bean chosen in their respective elates, hallo suggested that in the ev oß t o f it being shown that "t® republicans have carried South arohne, Florida and Louisiana, governors of California and Oregon refuge to certify to the election of those who were chosen ♦a * of the legal voters thereof to cast the votes of thorn, states for president After reading the arguments pre ’"odiTJ*? t" efallr th< ’ . i !' w,,ich are that e W d r. abt ’ <e fed . . republicans did truly add yairijr carry enough states to give **IM electoral vote*. or

a majority of 1. We are not yet satisfied that North Carolina went democratic, there being no positive evidence of this published.** Should an official canvass show the reverse to bo true, all dispute will end, and every trace of a foundation for the charge so persistently made by the democratic press during the last week that it was intended by the returning boards of Lousiana and Florida to make false returns in favor of the republican candidates would vanish like a mirage. Hayes and Wheeler were elected to be president and vice president of this republic for the term sneceeding President Grant’s, and as sure as they live will be inaugurated into their respective offices. At any rate that is bow it looks to-day.

The republican party cannot disband until its destiny is fulfilled. Its destiny will not be completed until the political rights of all citizens are respected and defended in every part' of the nation alike. Assassination, proscription, intimidation and fraud must cease. When it shall be as safe for a republican to speak and vote his sentiments in the states that were onoe in rebellion as it is for democrats to speak and vote in Indiana; when a black man’s rights are as fully respected in Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, and every other of the former slave states, as they are in Ohio, Massachusetts or Kansas; when fraudulent registration shall cease to be practiced in strong democratic precincts; when the bludgeon and the shot gun cease to have potency as political arguments; when all citizens are permitted to enjoy equal privileges and equal political rights throughout the length and breadth of this land—when this shall all have been accomplished, then, perhaps, it may be safe to think about disbanding the republican party; but never until that time.

It is remarkable that at a time when the depreciation of silver i« causing universal anxiety, China is simply devoid of coin. Interest has run up to thirty-six per cent., and money is hardly obtainable at that rate in the Shanghai market. The hoarding of coin is carried on extensively throughout the Celestial empire.— California JSxchange. Had this paragraph been published during the late political discussion it would havs been paraded as an evidence of the corruption and mismanagement of President Grant's administration. It would have been seized upon by the Peter Cooper democracy as an invincible argument againST coin currency, and as proving the beauties of their system through which all might become bloated, aristocratic bond-holders, at the expense of those whom they were indebted to. If the republican party has not been defeated it barely escaped by the cuticle of the molars, and it is a matter for thankfulness that the above information was suppressed until the election was over. M. 11. Ingvim and W. B. Maddock, connected with the Fowler Democrat, are reported to have assaulted Thomas Heald with knives on last Wednesday during the progress of a political dispute. Public sentiment was very outspoken in condemnation of the cowardly act, and the matter is likely to undergo judicial investigation.

A Change.

It make* no difference to the undersigned whether Haye* or Tilden get* the most votes, «o far a* their busineaa is concerned, but they wish to inform their patron* and everybody elee that the business relation heretofore existing between themselves and Mr. Norman Warner has ceased, the latter retiring and leaving the business exclusively to them. Therefore all who have any horse-shoeing, machine-repair-ing, or anything else in the line of blacksmithing to do, will know who to call on. They also give especial attention to the repairing of wagons, carriages, buggies, farm implements, etc. All persons knowing themselves to be in arrears for work already done will please call and settle, either by cash or note, in order that the books may be squared up before the beginning of another year. With best wishes to all, we are most respectfully yours, Shindler <fc Roberts. Rensselaer, Nov. 15, 1878. 9-ts.
