The Devil may love his own, but the misfortune for ihcin is he don't love them to the end?when they need him moat he leaves litem to their late. Thus it is with the State Hoard of Canvassers. At first they seemed to sail through smoolho seas, and amused themselves in brushing away the gathering clouds between them and their omniscient right to count in whom they pleased. With (irant, Cameron and Chandler at their back, and Judge lloud to unlock cell doors for them, they laughed the Supreme Court to scorn and defied justice and public opinion. Perhaps their assured safety in support at Washington and the ease with which they escaped llie (dutches of the law at the hands of the Supreme Court emboldened them to lake a step t >o far; or it may ho I hey thought the general intelligence ol the people of llorry was at. such a low ebb that the returns would be made up so bungling and informal that they, the board, I could change them with impunity ami the world bo none the wiser of it. It so, they reckoned without their host and their stop taken in that direction will end in the penitentiary. The Supreme Court appointed Commissioner Wilkes, ol Columbia, special llcl'croe to go over the Precinct managers' returns ol the vote of the Slate, and with them and the County Canvasser*' statements, to aggregato the vote of the State cast for State officers, and to report th * result to the Court: The Referee had so far oamploted his work that tho volo was aggregated, and he was preparing his report, when a suspicion was thrown on the returns f rom I lorry County, the rggregate by tbe precinct returns allowing fifty yotes more for T. C. Dunn, for Comptroller Gonoral, than did 1110 County Canvassers Statement. This fact led .Mr. LeOont, who, aH expert on behalf of the Democratic candidates had i/xiiul ir o i + i t ?)< I t lu) ? |/I v_ ? iv/uoij i v tiiu v uiu li mil the precinct returns, lo mention thai, while engaged in th.it work, he had his suspicions lrom the appearance (?1 the (igurcH and writing that the returns ironi Simpson Creek and Dogwood Neck had been changed; especially w is it suspicious that the aggregate veto ot' DogwoodJ Neck for Conipiroller General allowed 103 votes lor that ollioo when 101 was tho total vote cast. This was on Friday evening and so certain was General Conner, and those acting with him,that a fraud and forgery had been practiced on the returns ol this county, that he induced Mr. Louis llngood to start that night lor Conwayhoro to search into the tact, and see what evidences there were in existence herj that would lead tr detecting the forgery. On the average vote ol the republi can ticket in this county, the increasing of the vote lor T. C. Dunn by 5C votes would have nothing suspicion? in it, as ho lell 48 behind his ticket The highest candidate receiving 59T votes, nod Dunn, 540. The total voti t-ast at I dogwood Neck was 101, l?ui one oftlie electors cast no vote for any cai di late except for a comity officer, The Democratic candidates all received 7:1 votes and the Republican! all i?7, except Dunn, who received ten, This made a total of 83 (or Comptrol lor General. The return showed tin vote in figures thus: For Johnson Ilugood 73, T. C Dunn 10, In the alteration tiio figuri one hail been changed to a 3 but tin straight mark of the one was left, it the lower bow of the 3. The segregate had been changed from 83 to 10? by inserting a cypher between tho t and 4 and making a heavy marl through the figure 8 reaching a litth above the top of the 8. The total vote at Simpson Creel for Comptroller General was 220 The returns showed the result ot th< veto carried out in figures, thus; fo Johnson llagood 218. For T. C Dunn 2. , This was changed by inserting a figure 3 before the 2 and changing the aggregate to 250 by inserting a fig ure 5 in the 2. At this poll Duni ran 80 votes behind his ticket, so at i glance it would have the appearand of being all right. The managers a this poll were Messrs \V. 11.

Qnaltlcbaum and John K* j Cooper, who together had taken a full statement of the vote at each precinct while the returns were in the hands of the County Canvassers, were all ex- J amined on oath before the Kefereo in Columbia. At the examination Secrerotary llajrno was called on for thej precinct returns, but the returns could not be found. The clear atid intelligent mantici in which Messrs. Carter and Cause gave their testimony, of their knowledge of the fact that but i ! two votes had been cast and returned j at their poll for Dunn was so convinc- ; ingthal it was apparent to Iluync and his Clerk, Johnson, that it was no use to hide the return any longer, so after a show of further search it was brought into Court. Mr. llryani's testimony as to the vote at Dogwood Neck, with the I corohoraling evidence in the hands of i I I Qualilehuum and Cooper, clearly estahlished the fact that Dunn received only ten voles at that poll. After t.lin Simnumi Hnwib i'"!""' * ? ?s brought into ''ourl, Messrs. Carter :iticl Gausc were recalled, ami Mr. Carter, who made out llm ret urn, at (nice pointed the dillerer.ee between his work and that ot the lowers. Mr. .Johnson, Secretary HaynuV chief elerk, was sworn, and stated that no one bad access to the returns while in the Secretary's oflioo except himsef and the Secretary, that if they were changed and altered it was done before received by them, for they were new just as they were when they received them. This we call decidedly cheeky for so thin a story. Mr. Jthnson would gladly lay it on tho board of County Canvassers or the messenger who took the returns to Columbia, lint lot Innately Mr. Dcrham, tho chair* man ol the board ot Canvassers, bad business in his oftioo the day before Mr. Johnson made this statement, and there he found tho tabulated statement of the entire v ote of the county, made for tho purpose of aggregating tho vote and troin which they made out their returns.

SHAKING IN Til EI K HOOTS. What is Fear*d in Relation to the New Orleans Rouble (iovermnont. Washington, Jan. 11.?The investi gut ion begun yesterday by the House committee of the conspiracy to steal the electorial votes ot Louisiana and blorida has caused great commotion in the Radical camp. The chief conspirators at this end of the line have been in consn'tation with the President to day, and they arc undoubtedly very much exercised. The inquiries put to Chandler yesterday disclosed to the conspirators thai tho Democrats were in possession of the substance of the most important telegrams that had passed between New York and Washington, and New York, Washington, and New Orleans and Tallahassee. The refusal of Chandler to give the substance ot his communications with the President, together with Pis admit} pionH in regard to the contents of despatches sent hy him to Gov. Stearns of 1 Florida and Kellogg at New Orleans, lays the foundation for a proper demand on the Western Union Telegraph 1 , Company for the production ol these despatches. David Dudley Field has heen added to the Committee on Pow* 1 ers and Privileges of the House, and 1 ; will probably oireet this inquiry, lie will he ably supported hy the other ' Democratic members of the commit tee, among whom are some of the ablest ' lawyers in the|Ilouse. > The news from Louisiana this morn. 1 I in<_r has added to the iioriili>vii in? ' the Radical lenders. There is a growing suspic ion on their part that there is some truth in the rumors of nr. understanding having been reached by the Democrats ot Louisiana and Casey, They are evidently uneasy about tin attitude ol the President toward the Packard Government. It is well known that great pressure has been brought to bear on Grant to induce him to interfere and decide that tin Packard Government was tho legal one. Hut thus far this has not been accomplished. It is said also thai Senator Conkling prevailed with the President to prevent an interference | and it is behoved that Gen. Sheridan has made a report on the Louisiana muddle, in which he takes strong ' ground in favor of tho recognition ol the Nieholls Government. It has not been possible to trace this s'ory to any I authoritative source, but it is \ory generally believed by Democrats, j The radical Republicans admit that, they have tears of the President , 1877. , being influence*! in tV*is way, hut are ' noncommittal on the subject of Slieri- : dan's report, or llio object of l?is visit fo Washington at this Mine, It Casey has combined with the Democrat*, ! there is but little doubt as to his ability to control the President, and if he succeeds in this, election to the United States Senate by the Nicholls Legisla lure is almost, certain. The description J of I'inclihack and his combination j with the Nieholls party is, however, ' indicative of another scheme. Pinch- i hack must have some inkling of Casey's 1 intrigue, and lias acted accordingly. 1 He probably was informed of the pro- I position ol Casey to overthrow the Packard Government on condition of being elected to the Senate, ami Pinch- 1 back therefore determined to knock out Hie props himself, and make the j Democrats masters of the situation without Casey's assistance. Pinchback has undoubtedly great influence ' 1 with his lace, and doubtless can control the element in New Orleans, of whom ; ! Oasonave and Kenner, the two mulatto members of the Returning Hoard, arc representatives. Through these various intrigues there will probably be a solution ol the Louisiana problem within the next forty-eight hours. 11 the Nicholls Government is estabi lislied, either with or without the inI lluenee ot Casey, this solution will I have a very great effect upon the I I Presidential question, In the first ' place it is quite protuible that Casciiave and Kenner of the Returning j Hoard will diclose sutlicient to upset ! its action in counting hi the Hayes 'electors Hut il this does not happen J it i> certain that the Legislature and j the courts will proceed to investigate j and pass upon the whole subject. I , 1 here is y< t time for this to he done j and the result communicated to Con- 1 gross. It this result is favorable to Tilden the Republicans admit that they vvill he in a had fix. They admit { also that even it the Nicholls Covcrnment obtains undisputed possession before the electoral votes are oo.unted their cases will ho weakened. MOKTON ClIKrKMATKD.
