The latest news gives us no certainty
on the situation of the la to Presidential
election. In fact the uneor
?.... - ...t : i. - i ? - - -
uuiit V (?:> III H mi ll wny I I|r? OIVCUOII
will be decided h is assumed a
iih!o in ;t< I carings on our Republican
form ol government little thought, or
dreamt of in tin; past by the people of
this count ry.
The si in pit; problem tliat will bo
solved by the decision of this Presidential
election is shall the voice of the
majority of the people ofthi; country,
expressed through the hollol box, dc
tceminc who shall be oar riders, or
shall /'resident (/rant, whom the people
bij their votes four years ayo
entrusted with the administration of
the (fovemnu n', and whose lease of
\ authority will expire on the Mh of
next March, dictate to the people who
their riders shall he, and enforce that
dictation by the, ha nonet, and thus
willi one. stroke of the pen overthrow
this Republican government and set
up a (ptasi. Mouarchial dictatorial
power. Already Ih F. Roller, of Masgaehusett",
asks the question "it the
interests of I ho country does not demand
that President (Irani hold on to
his power and see to it t hat the country
8ufli-r no detriment Irom tin1 change, in
the government, demanded by I he vote
of t he people !"
The voice ol the people by their
popular vote in the late Presid"iilial
election, and the position assumed bv
President (Irani in regaid to the eleo
lion will determine this question.
The latest news is that Mr. Tildeii
has 184 Hiiro uloclori.il votes, this is
conceded by both parties, but this
lacks one vole ol an (.'tectorial majority,
and leaves three Slates, South
Carolina, Florida and Louisiana, with
19 electoriul votes, in doubt, or undeclared
lor whom they aro to he east.
To elect Mr. Hayes by a majority of
0110 the votes of all three of these
Slates iniist be counted in his favor,
so the contest on the Kepubltean Hide
is to prevent the votes ol cither one of
these States being eonnled in favor of
Tildeh, and to this end they are claiming
the election by large majorities in
all three States with a view of preparing
the minds of the people lor an
announcement of the vote in their
favor. The Hoard of canvassers in
each State are of their own party, and
to the end that they may manipulate
and change the returns so as to declare
the election in their favor, Preaident
(Irant has ordered to Florida and
Louisiana troops with instructions to
protect and prevent any molestation
or interruption of the returning
Hoards in their work of canvassing
ami declaring the election.
In this election the majority of the
popular vote in favor of Mr. Tilden
will not be far short of 300,000, yet it is
seriously apprehended that the popular
will of the people in their choice
lor President may be set aside by the
bayonet in these ihn c Stales.
In Louisiana oflicial returns from all
the parishes but six give a democratic
majority of 7,773, and these six
parishes all gave democratic majorities
in the last election, and will do the
saiue in this; yet Kellogg claims the
Slate (or the republicans by over
10,000 majority.
In Florida the oflicial returns from
all the counties, but six that went
democratic in the last election, give a
j democratic majority, and these nix
will increase it to over 1,200; yet the
Republicans claim it by over 2,000
majority.
In this State we have a sure majority
of over 1,200 for tun. Hampton.
It is true that Mr. Tildon run behind.
Gen. Hampton, but it is equally as
likely that Mr. Hayes tell behind
Gov. Ohainboilain on his vote; so that
| it is sate, to estimate that South Carolij
tin has declared in lavor ol Mr. Til]
dent; yet Gov. Chamberlain has persistently
claimed the State lor himself
'and Hayes by 8,000. His modesty,
however, has sliglitly over come his
eflVontary and ho has reduced his figures
to 2,000.
7 tie following statefnent gives the
latest sit uation of the eleotorial vote,

Dying Hard.
Much anxiety is manifeated l?y the
people generally that the State I
Board of Election Canvassers will ,
not make a fair ami honest return I
of the rcsu't of the election in this
I Stale, hut will hy their machinations,
; ami determining ot protests and con
j tests, not hy the constitution of the
State within their jtuisdiction to decide,
' ho manipulate and falsify the
returns as to count the election in their
own lavor, and thus defeat tho will of
the people as expressed hy their ballots.
Whether this apprehension on the
part oi the people is well founded or
not, the past ollieial record of the Republican
party in this Slate fully justifies
it, and tiie action of the Board
| in its preseiit siLtiucra is by no means
calculated to reimsve that apprehension
or allay the anxiety so generally
manifested,
The Board of Canvassers met on
last Saturday, ami Ceueral Conner, on
behalf of tho Democratic party and
the Democratic candidates, entered a
protest against tho Hoard's doing
more, as regards the returns lor members
ol the Legislature, than to verily
tin; returns as mndcout by the County
Hoards of Canvassers, as thu Constitution
provides that the two bouses
shall bo the sole judge of its own
members. Also as to the (Joveinor
and Lieutcnunt-Covernor, as the Constitution
provides that the two bouses
of tho Legislature slivdl determine
ibis question on tho returns made by
the County managers of elections.
Also as regards the election ol electors
ol President and Vice-President and
of members to Congress, as the Constitution
of the. United Stales provides
for the determining ol the election in
both of these cases. And also a protest
against Cardozo, Ilayne and Dunn
sitting in a judicial capaeity and determining
the result on their own
election.
Tlio Hoard determined that they
would hear and decide protests and
contests on all the elections, except
for Governor and Lieutenant Governor,
as that had been the precedent, the
Constitution to the contrary notwithstanding.
As to their own elections
they decided that they hail not decency
enough to torogo the chaneo of
sitting in judgment on their own election,
but that neither ol them would
vote upon Ins own election; tints Cardo/,o
would not vote on any question
aflecting his own election, hut Ilayne
and Dunn would, and iji turn lie would
do the same favor for them.
It is evidently the intention of the j
Hoard to give a clean certificate to all
Republicans who ha?o been leturned
elected to the Legislature, and to
leave under protest all Democrats
I against whom protests can he trumped
up, with those protests strengthened |
and mystified as much as it is in the ;
power of the Hoard to do, and so sent
a majority of Republicans in the Legislature
to pass on all protested Democrats
and exclude, enough of them,
and seat a sufficient number of Re
| publicans, to give thcrr. a clear
1 majority, and then the Legislature
will bo all right to decide ilu- question
of the governor's election in favor of
Mr. Chamberlain.
TILDEN'S ELECTION SAFE. THE
LATEST FROM NEW ORLEANS.
An Official Dispatch to Wade Hampton.
Columbia, S. C., November 14.?
Gen. Hampton received the following
dispatch today:
Nicw Oki.banh, November 14.
The majority for Tilden according
to the votes polled in the ballot boxes,
as declared by the commissioners of
election at the polls, is 8,000. The
majoiity may vary one or two hundred,
but the result cannot be changed
by the supervisors ol registration or
the returning hoard, except by arbitrary
perversion of the law and facts. My
information and statements are oflicial.

It is only lair to suppose that before
this reaches yon, you will have learned
who is the President, elect. There
never had been such a delay in the
announcement of the result before,
and it is hard to believe that it means
honesty-Conflicting accounts aie
coining in hourly, and the excitement
is intense.
It is well known that about a month
and a hail ago the Democratic State
Committee sent an agent to Mr.
Tilden lo represent the importance,
and the possibility of carrying Florida
tor the 1 hunoeralio ticket. The delegate
u as unacquainted with Governor
'I'ildeii or any ol Ids immediate representatives
in the National or State
Commitlies, and requested a democratic
lawyer ol prominence to intro
duet; linn to the Democratic managers
?The lawyer endeavored to do so
during the entire day, hut received
answer Irom the head-quarters
thai it was impossible to spare the
time to see the gentleman Irom Florida.
The gt nih man loll rt bulled, hut called
the next day and linally had an interview
with some person connected with
the Democratic head quarters at. No.
i 55) Liberty Street. He explained to
ilic gentleman the importance oi
sending certain doccutnents, and a
[ large amount of funds to Florida,
claiming that the State could he carI
t ied by an energetic movement for Mr.
Tilden. It is understood that the reply
was, "that Mr. Tilden1* managers
did not need the State of Florida. It
was supposed to be hopelessly in the
hands ol the Republicans, and that
Mr. Tilden was glad that it was, and
hoped that it would go Republican;
, because the cry of a United South was
| what Mr. Tilden depreciated in. this
campaign :ts dangerous lo the nation.
He dreaded as much as any patriot
could do the idea of a United South
against a United North, thai issue

and M'. Tilden did not wish to see it
renewed. So

Cincinnati, Novembers.?The following
interview with (iovernor
Hayes was published lieie ibis alternoon.
In reply * question by :i
correspondent, he sfttd:
"i think we arc defeated in spite ol
the recent good news. 1 am ol opinion
that the Democrats have carried
the country and elected Tilden, as it
now seems necessary for the Republicans
to carry ill the States now set
down as doubtful to secure even u
majority of one. I don't think encouraging
dispatches ought to be
given to the pubKc now, because it
might mislead enthusiastic fiiends to
hot on the election and lose money.
I do heartily deprecate such dispatches."
Alter pleasantly rallying his friends.
and in king them not to lu> despondent,
lit; said: "I do not think it, is right to
joke over the matter. 1 don't euro for
inyscll, and the party, yes, and the
country, too, can stand it, but I do
care lor the poor colored men of the
South. I do pot, fear that business
will be greatly disturbed by Mr. Tib
den's election. Trade governs itself.
Capitalists may just at present say,
we won't lend money, but it will be
only a nine days' wonder, which will
wear away as soon as tlioy recover
from llo> chagrin of a defeat. Business
will, I think, go on as usual, I
do not think parlies responsible for
financial depression, Wo see the
troubles they have had in (lermany
and Austria, ll any part of the country
sutlers or remains at a stand, it
will be the South. Under the now
regime. Northern men can't live there,
and will leave, and immigration into
the States will cease; but, as I said
hufoYc, I do pity the negroes of the
South. The result will be thai llit
I Southern people will probably treat
i the constitutional amendments as nnl
lilies, and then the colored man's fate
will bu worse than when ho was in
slavery with a humane master to look
after his interests. That is the only
reason I regret that the new is as ii
is."
