j?is7 A. ?IOVT. )_ E.JB. MUKRA Y, f VHURSDAY MORNING, N0V7~9r 1876. TTJESDAI'8 WOKK. Tin: result ol last Tuesday's election is better than the moat sanguine Democrat c?Kil?1 have really expected. The elec tion of Tilden nnd Hendricks, with the iatge gains all over South Carolina for the Democrats, is of itself enough, but thc strong probability, amounting almost to a certainty, of Hampton'* election as Governor :K the grandest revolution ever effected peaceably and through thc ballot box. It was won after a hard struggle against immense adverse circumstances. A majority of thirty thousand has been dissipated, despite the ?trenuous ai.d unscrupulous efforts of Gov. Cham berlain and his administration, backed by Grunt, who, through bis troops and Tull's instructions to Deputy Marshals, did his uttermost to manacle liberty in B iuth Caroliua, and thereby intimidate Democrats from making any effort to re deem thc St?.:". The combination has ItiUrn far short of its object. The State is rescued from the rogues and public enemies, and even if Chamberlain should be re-elected, which will not occur with :i fair count in the State, he would be compelled to reform to a great extent, for there is a powerful Democratic influ ence in thc Legislature. a'r.'c Congressmen, three ?-ol?citor.-*, a United States Senator, a Governor, and a President, is enough of victory and of gloiy for the South Carolina Democrats to obtain in one day. The result fully vindicates the wisdom and propriety of thc straight-out canvass, and we con gratulate the people of our County and State upon thc success of tho policy which has been so persistently advocated bv the Intelligencer.

VBCT?RY, SOUTH CAROLINA FREE. Tilden Elected President, Peace and Prosperity Follow HAMPTON'S MAJORITY SURE. Two Congressmen Elected Certain, and probably Two Others. Special Telegrams to the Anderson IntelHgenett. COLOMBIA, 8. C., Nov. 8, 1870. The sen coast counties roll up heavy Republican majorities, which arc, with out giving you figures, counterbalanced by increased Democratic majorities in the upper counties, which assures Hamp ton's election. Tilden is certainly elected by twenty eight electoral votes more than n majori ty. Every ono herc is wild with excite, ment, aud thc greatest enthusiasm pre vails over thc glorious result. C. McK. CHARLESTON, NOV. 8th. The election is very close in the city. Wo hnve only scattering returns from three counties in the low-country. Cur most careful estimule* for the whole State, including Charleston County, gives Hampton over ten thousand majority. Wo do not think it possible that Charleit ton County, with its Republican majority, can overcome this majority in the State, and we believe that South Carolina is now snfe for Tilden and Hampton. D. II. R. (iUKENVILLE, NOV. 8th. Hampton's majority in Greenville County is twenty-five hundred. T. H. COOKE. WALHALLA, Nov. 8th. The vote in Oconce County is as fol lows: Tilden, 2004; Hampton, 2073; Aiken, 20(53 ; Cothran, 2054 ; Hnyrs, 544; Chamberlain, 540 ; Carpenter, 540; Blythe, 555. QUEENWOOD, Nov. 8th. Thc election passed off very quietly. The Democrats have two hundred and twenty-five majority at this precinct, and Abbeville County is considered safe for the Democracy. COLUMBIA, NOV. 8th. The following returns and estimates have been received : The Republicans have carried Sumter County by ono thousand majority. Twelve hundred anil fifty majority for thc Democrats in Barn well County. Greenville, twenty-fivo hundred majority for thc Democrat?. Spartanburg has boon carried for the Democrats by throe thousand majority, and it ?fl claimed that ridgefield has gone Democratic by twenty-five huudrcd. Aiken County is given up by tho Re publicans, who concedo a majority of three hundred to tho Dem?crata. York County gives eight huudred and sixty two Democratic majority. Charleston County gives five thousand majority for the Republicans. Col. Aiken bas been elected to Con gress from the Third District and Col. Evins from tho Fo i th District. In the Fifth Congressional District, the proba- , bilities aro in favor of the election of Col. Tillman. Tilden has two hundred and niuo elec toral votes certain, which is twenty-four moro than n majority. COLUMBIA, Nov. 8th. Tho election returns are coming in ?lowly. Tilden hos one hundred and eighty-four electoral votes certain, with Louisiana, Florida and Wisconsin regar ded aa uncertain in the general estimates. Private dispatch?? indicate that Loui siana hos certainly been carried by the Democrats, and the majority is estimated at fifteen thousand. A dispatch from Now York says that tho result in that State io very close upon Tilden's election. The Democrats are confident of carrying tho State by a handsome majority, Tho dispatches received at the head quarters of the State Democratic Execu tive Committee from all parts of tho State indicate the following majorities : Democratic-Abbovillo, ono hundred; Aiken, six hundred; Barnwell, official count, twelvo hundred and thirty-three; Dl.?.l-..A?U i"i.w1..iw! .

NEW YORK, NOV. 8th. The Herald says that 21 States cast a majority for the Democratic nominees, IC for the Republican-one State, Colo rado, having previously cast lier vote for the latter. Thus Governor Tilden will be our neat President, and Hendricks our next Vice-President. They have re ceived 200 electoral votes against 100 cast for Governor Hnyen and Wheeler, a clear majority of 49, and 24 more than was necessary for au election. There is very little chance of bettering these figures, and none of changing the result over. Our next House of Representatives will huvc a Democratic majority of at least 25. The State of New York is carried by the Dcmocruts by probably 35,000, and the entire city Democratic ticket is elected by a majority ranging downward from 53,000, although the State looked doubtful yesterday. Indiana, Connecticut, New Jersey, and probably Wisconsin, is carried for the Democracy. South Carolina is in doubt, the voting being close, and being claimed by both parties. The negro vote was evidently divided between the two parties in thc Southern States. NEW YOHK, Nov. 8th. The Evening Post gives Tilden 184 electoral votes, with Nevada, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, Oregon nnd Wiscon sin as doubtful. It says Mi. Tiiden ap pears to be elected President of thc United States. Hayes cannot be elected without all of these. Returns from them to-day impossible. MONTGOMERY, ALA., NOV. 8. Thc returns indicate at least 25,00( majority for Tilden. Herbert in Second Williams in Third, Ligen in Fifth, Hew ett in Sixth, Forney in Seventh, mic Garth in Eighth-all Democrats-electei to Congre**.

As far as heard from there was not a difficulty in the State The United States Marshal's Deputies in this r'V were, with few exceptions negroes. WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. The election of Hayes is still claitnet by cautious Republicans, who count oi carrying Louisiana and Florida. Tho Western Union bulletin states tba tho Democrats claim Louisiana by lO.PO* majority. The Republicans claim Florida um Oregon. The World bureau hore has the follow ing from Now York, Y p. m. : Hendrick telcgrapbs that ho has trustworthy advi ces, that Wisconsin has gone Dcmocrati by a majority of 1,000. Tho ?Var says neither Judge Edmond or tho President received dispatches fror Chandler to-day. Tho fact is regarde os discouraging to hope for any possib! change in figures to Hayes' side. LAKE CITY, FLA., NOV. 8th. The opinion of moderato men is, thi Florida will elect tho entire Democrat! Stato ticket by over 2,000 majority. TRENTON, N. J., Nov. 8th. The Senate stands ll Democrats, ] Republicans. The Uouue 29 Democrat 31 Republican:?, giving Republicana majority on joint ballot. The Democra still claim another member. But tl above figures aro reliable, nnd secures Republicr.n United States Senator. As yet no definite returns, aud mutt( Btand as they did last night. Both pt tics claim tho Slate. Returns point Democratic gains in interior. Ela Democrat, elected to Congress. The ci will probably give ten thousand Den eratic majority. COLUMBIA, Nov. 8th-11.80 p. m The Republicans now claim eijj .t_1 _ x_ rn_ ,uuuunim uifljuilb^ Jil viiAllCOHJll Yyvrua. Also, fifty-three hundred in Beaufo twelve huudred is Georgetown And hundred and six in Williamsburg. W these majorities allowed, tho estimat? thc BaesSTata give the Stato to Han ton by two thousand. The election i? close, however, that it will rcquiro official count to decide the result. Private telegrams place the nntio contest in doubt. Both parties are a iously telegraphing here for tho elect* result, and it seems that South Carol ia now the pivotal point of interest. Returns received to-day have pu new aspect on the national election, \ ing Tilden one hundred and eighty-! electoral votos, with any of the State Florida, Nevada, Oregon and South ( olina necessary to elect him A Diapatch from Republican cou says with Soot) Carolina we are e Later returns, however, may change condition of affairs. We have news to-night of troubi Charleston, but at this time we are \t out particulars as to the uature of difficulties. C. Mci COLUMBIA, NOV. :>-a p. m. Tilden has certainly carried New York, New Jersey, Conneeticut. Indiana and the Southern State?, except Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina, which aro yet in doubt. The DeihocrnLs claim Lou isiana by fifteen' thouaa??, and the lie publicans claim that the river parishes will make thc State go Republican by ten thousand. The Democrats claim Florida by from twelve to twenty-five hundred majority, and the Radicals by ?fteen hundred. A .-torin prostrated thc wires in Florida. Both parties claim Wisconsin by ono thousand majority. Both parlies claim Soutli Caroline, by three thousand votes. The only positive information at this time is that Tilden has 01 e hundred ami eighty-four electo ral votes sure ami certain, with equal chances for carrying thc above doubtful States, all of which must be carried by Hayes to elect hint by one vote. The Democrats have the better prospects, both in this State and thc United States. L. Cass Carpenter concedes that Col. Aiken ha? been elected by seven thou sand majority. Col. Evins bas been elected from the Fourth Congressional District by seven thousand und seven hundred majority. C. McK. COLUMBIA; Nov. 9th-9.45 p. m. All the returns received up to lilia time concedes Tilden's election as certain. Illinois has gouc Democratic by a small majority, which settles the question effect ually. Thc result in South Carolina is yet in doubt, although the Republicans claim that Chamberlain is elected by four thou sand majority. But the Democrats are equally confident that Hampton hos been elected by a similar majority, und the in dications are that tho latter is correct. There is a terrible excitement in Charleston to night. All business was suspended at nr. carly hour this evening, us tiie premonitions of a serious riot began, and a terrible conflict is regarded as imminent. There is no communica tion by telegraph, as thc wires are down, and wo arc in a state of great anxiety about the situation in Charleston, which is critical in thu extreme. Everybody herc is confident of both Tilden and Hampton's victor)'. CoLUf BIA, Nov. 8-10.30 p. m. Dispatches from Charleston point to the election of Hampton and the State ticLet by from 1700 to 1900 majority, after conceding the Republican estimate for 0000 majority in that county. We have a majority of one in joint ballot in the next General Assembly, which se cures a Democratic United States Sena tor to succeed Robertson. Tilden runs behind Hampton, but not far enough to lose thc electoral vote of this State. He has 184 electoral votes scented, with Florida, Louisiana and this State Certain to give him 13 additional votes. B. THE VERY LATEST. COLUMBIA, NOV. 9-midnight. The following are official majorities for the Democrats in South Carolina : Aiken, 742; Abbeville, 187; Anderson, 3030; Barnwell, 1230; Greenville, 2396; Hor ry, 1352; Lexington, 871; Lancaster, 305: York, 802; Edgeficld, 3225. Lau rens, 1161; Marlboro, 303. Total, 15, 724. The following are the estimated ma jorities for the Democrats based upon re liable information : Chesterfield, 800 ; Marion, 750 ; Oconce, 1G00 ; Bickens, 1500; Spartanburg, 3200; Union, WO. Total estimated majority 8650. Certain and estimated Democratic majorities, 24,474. The official radical majorities are, Beaufort, 5332 ; Colletou, 167 ; Chester, G60; Fairfield, 606; Newberry, .565; Orangeburg, 1607; Richland, 1422; Williamsburg, G06. Total 10,965. Tho Radicals claim tho following ma ?critica: Charleston, 7000; Clarendon, 500 ; Darlington, 900 ; Georgetown, 2000 ; Kershaw, 300 ; Sumter, 1500. Total ma ority claimed by Radicals in estimated counties, 12,300; total Radical majority, nih ia! and estimated, 23,265. This leaves a majority of over 1200 for Hampton, after all they claim has been allowed them. Tho Associated Press puts Hampton's majority at 1929, which is probably about right. This estimate is regarded as well nigh certain. Tho House of Representatives will bo Demo :ratic by four majority, und tho Demo crats will have a majority of one on joint ballot, which secures n United -States Senator. Thc Democrats have elected two Congressmen-Aiken and Evins. Thc National election is ns certain as possiblo for the Democrats. Florida has gone Democratic by at least two thou sand, which elects Tilden without Louis iana, South Carolina or Wisconsin. Private dispatches from New Orleans says Tilden has certainly carried Lou isiana. A riot occurred in Charleston ou Wed nesday evening, caused by negroes at tacking white men. It is supposed to have been brought on because the Re publtcaus were exasperated et tho news and tho exultation of tho Democrats over their victory. It occurred on Broad Street. A portion of the police took part with the mob, and Mr. E. H. Wal ter, son of Mr. George H. Walter, a prominent cotton merchant, waa shot and instantly killed by n rifle in the hands of a policeman. Thirteen other white men wcro wounded-some of them morts.Uy. Eleven negroes were wounded, two mortally. Tho Uni ted States troo.Ta were ordered out, and with the aid of the citizens dispersed tho mob. The soldiers rrere fired upon by negroes. Everything is quiet to-day, but intense excitement prevails. C. McK. ;---r - lt any vindication of tue straight-out policy in thc Stattfand County is needed, beyond the fact that it is honorablo aud right in itself the increased vote and majorities In all the Democratic counties of South Carolina furnish it. - General Hampton said that when he laid hui head upon bia pillow Saturday night he should du cu with the proud conciousness that he had done bia duty to his State.

The election for Congressman in South Carolina has resulted" in placing Col. D. Wyatt Aiken from thc Third and Col. John H. Evins from the Fourth Districts hy from seven to eight thousand majority each, thus securing the defeat of L. Cass Carpenter and A. S. Wallace, two of the worst and most objectionable Radicals in thc State. South Carolina has atlastob taincd a voice in thc National Congress, and the misrepresentations and falsehoods of political frauds who pretend to repre sent our people. ELECTION ???? ?N ?KKKNYILLE. Almost a Riot- Rufrabllcans Crowding thc Polia and Hutted States Troops called upou to Preserve the Peace. The Greenville Daily Enterprise of the 8th inst, gives thc following account of a disturbance in that city on election day, caused by the precipitate action of the Republicans in seeking to crowd the polls : The boxes were opened in the north eastern room of the old Court House, and thc votes deposited in them through the rear window fronting the northern side. From the front of the building, along the curbstone extending to the window, there was a constant stream of persons, who were crowding their way along in order to cast their votes. The pressure in this stream upon tho.se. in front was at times considerable, and the progress it made seemed to be extremely slow. Contiguous to the window where the votos \i ere received, were stationed several members of the city police, Chief of Police J. G. Greer and privates Carter and Watson being among tho number, and also John P. Scruggs, thc Chief United States Deputy Marshal. These officials wcro detailed to keep or der at the polls. Each mun as ho reached the precinct, fell in at the rear of the line of persons on thr curb stone, and took his turn, in regula, su*- :esaion, after the retiring of tho one in front of him. This regula : tion waa under the supervision of the ! police officers. At about eleven o'clock, Harrison White, Thos. Briar and Wm. Froncber ger, all colored, came with a party and attempted to rush over thc policemen to get to thc ballot box with the intention of voting, contrary to thc regulations, taking hold of Policemen &numate, Greer, Abernathy, and Kelley, and strik ing at FoiicemairShumate but failing to hit him. Tho policemen named ot onco repulsed them. When White, Briar and Froneberger found they were defeated in their purpose, they at once started off to beek tlie intervention of Capt. H. C. Cook with his troops, United States Deputy Marshal Scruggs being at tho head nf th? partv. At this juncture of affairs, Capt. Cook appeared upon tho scene, and instantly assisted Chief of Police Greer in re-estab lishing order and in carrying out the reg ulations. In the meantime, Capt. C. bad ordered his company of men, at the re quest of Mayor Cleveland, to repair to the vicinity of the polls, and they took their station in the rear of Ibu market house. Capt. Cook being on the streets at tho timo of the occurrence, he sought Mayor Cleveland and asked him if he could maintain the peace without the aid of his command. Mayor Cleveland informed him promptly that ho could not, and that he would be glad if he would order bis troops to repair to tho scene of the diffi culty, as he felt assured they were needed ir order to keep the colored people quiet and orderly. Thus waa prevented an affair which at one timo presented a most serio'?*; and threatening aspect. For if either one of the disorderly persons had succeeded in striking either of the policemen, or there had been a pistol "hoi off, thc result would have been magical for evil. It is HAMPTON'S CLOSUIU 1>A?, A Ilrllllant Ovation tu oui Chieftain In Columbia. Correspondence of the Xen- Vori Herald. Genera! Wade Hampton clotted bis canvass herc to-day in one of thc most magnificent ovations ever tendered a gu bernatorial candidate. The city was lit erally covered with decorations, and the principal thoroughfare was studded with triumphal archer which were again cov ered with mottoes, portraits and festoons of evergreens. Nothing like thc 'cene of to-day has occurred in Columbia since th? reception of Marquis de Lafayette upon his arrival hero from Prance after thc Revolution. The ?lay was ushered in by the booming of a salute and vocif erous cheers and yells tor "Hampton and reform." A graud procession was formed at the State House, which extended to tho fair grounds, at the opposite end of thc city, where thc speaking took place. Five thousand voters, mounted and on foot, were in linc, including about MU colored Democrats, and no such enthusiasm has ever before beep witnessed. The nation al flag was everywhere. It was a matter of amazement to outsiders where so much of the Union bunting came from. It Moated in wavy folds from ropes extended across thc streets. It fluttered in the carriages, sparkled on tho bosoms of the ladies, and stuck jointly up from the hats of every Carolimun, white or black, ::i the procession. Even the horses and mules testified their patriotism by wear ing thc Stars and Stripes in their head gear. Some of thc colored Hampton Democrats were actually wrapped in the national banner, to their intense gratifi cation and delight. There bas rarely been such ari exhibition of patriotic de votion to flag and government as has been seen here to-day. THE MOTTOES AND INSCRIPTIONS. Among the thousand mottoes which met the eye and which strikingly illus trated the character ot the campaign were the following: Hampton and Home Rule." This inscription, painted in great letters, was suspended over thc street and wns lustily cheered us thc procession passed ur.der it. On the reverse side were the words "Tilden and the Union,*' which also brought forth thc boisterous enthusiasm of tile crowds passing bo neath. Further down the street was an other immense banner with the motto so persistently advocated by Wade Hamp ton, "Equal Rights to Blacks and Whites." The most beautifully decora ted arch across the street was that in front of the military headquarters ol* the Department of the South. It was ndorned with the portraits of tho national and State Democratic candidates and abound ed with mottoes and inscriptions, the most prominent among which was "South Carolina owes a debt of gratitude to the New York Ha aid." Iho words were handsomely and artistically inscribed on a large sheet of blue satin fringed with white lace, and placed conspicuously in a panel which made thc keystone of" the arch. Around it were garlands and fes toons of evergreens, presenting ono of thc neatest and most effective pictures of the occasion. In another portion of the city there was n flag with tho words "Hurrah for tho New York Herald." HAMPTON AND"THE HEKAI.D. Thc enthusiastic demonstration in be half of thc Herald evinces the apprecia tion of the people for its services, and is one of the best indications of the power, extended influence and great popularity of tho paper. Hampton has read its ed itorials on every etump, and to-day there is hardly a citizen in South Carolina with whom the Herald is not a household word. It is safe to cst i mn te that there were over 15,000 people at tho meeting. The order among the whites una the?? colored coadjutors was excellent, but the turbulence and proscription among the colored republicans showed itself in a manner that, in any city north of Mason I and Dixon's line, would have provoked riot and bloodshed. On tho other hand, the forbearance and good humor of the whites, and particularly the colored Democrats, was, under tho circumstances, in the highest degree praiseworthy. CO LO H ED DISSENTIENTS As tho procession passed along the streets, crowds of colored men and women, congregated on the corners, in dulged in obscenity,, curses and insult to those of their own race who were in the lino. Thc wombil were the most violent. They yelled, "Rah for Cliamlin," "Damn Hampton." "Pull tho damn nigger off do horse. Kill him." In Buch a chorus, and with gesticulations as to provoke re sentment. It seemed os if thev were specially intent upon creating a disturb ance. Whenever a negro Democrat ap peared he wits cursed, pushed off thc side walk, spit upon, and in many instances beaten ny thc colored viragos, assisted thc negro supporters of Governor Cha m berlain. Several of thc cohn cd. Demo crats were stoned as they rode singly along tho streets. Two of them were pulled off their horses, and their Hamp ton badges and decorations were instant ly taken from their persons and torn into slireds. Tho Stars and Stripes which they wore were indignantly torn ur and i trampled upon by thceo South Carolina colored Republicans. The little flags in tho hands of white children were snatch ed out of thsir hands, destroyed and i thrown in th? gutters. White ladies ! walking along tho streets were subjected to the most obscene language, insult and often to personal assault. During the entire day this sort of negro intimidation and proscription was kept ny. but it was submitted to with tho stcrii determina tion not to gratify their enemies by re senting it and causing a riot. General Ruger himself and staff witnessed BCOUCS ana incidents of this kind occurring un der Hih windows of tho Wheeler House. Several personal altercations, incident to such an occasion, took place, but nothing of a serious nature, and thc white mon engaged in them were invariably hurried to tho station houses.

The address by cx-Attorney-O' n* ral Gilchrist,-nt the-fnecting held in Jersey j City to protest against Grant's use of bayonet? in the South, presented the ! question clearly and ably, but with great moderation of loue and feeling. After briefly referring to the sadness c.* the. scene, even when necessity requires the interposition of the army in uffaira af fecting the liberties 01 the citizen, he said that this feeling ol sadness was not so strong when the militia, composed of neighbors and friends, was called out to suppress disturbance. "But," he contin ued, "not one in u hundred of .tho regit-, far army of the United States is a citizen of the United Stale*. They are strangers, men without the cultivation of civilized .society, aliens, hirelings. The us" of such men against our free people is a dangerous and alarming thing. We might not protest if we really believed there was such a danger as called for this interposition; but wc are not satisfied that the call for the army of the United States is made with sincerity for tho pur pose of putting down any real insurrec tion. "My fellow-cititens, if therois any day in the year on which wc are all soya* reigns, it is election day. If njl our citizens are equal on any day of thc year, it. is election day. If there is any week day sacred, it is the day when wc exer cise the elective franchise. On that day there ought uot to be any soldiers any where io arms. Our law and thc law of every State in this Union prohibits even the training of the militia on elec tion day. Even the law of the Uni te. States prevents the assembling of any armed force on election day. except to keep the peace. We have been brought up in the idea that we arc a free people, and that we can govern ourselves. If it has come tu this-that on tho day of al) the year when we are to exorcise our sovereign power it is necessary to keep us in order with the army f the United States -I tell you, my fellow-citizens, the day of the republic is gone." lint Mr. Gilchrist held that even if Grant's uction was .technically legal, the ruler of tl free people is bound to regard public decency. He belongs to a politi cal party which is on trial. His whole history as a civil ruler fyr the last eight years is under discussion, and partisan feeling runs high. It was therefore his duty, before he took such ft step, to lay before thc people of thc United States unimpeachable proofs to satisfy them be yond u reasonable doubt that it was for thc protection of iife and liberty that he resorted to armed force ; but be docs not deign to give us the evidence upon which he has proceeded. He shows a letter from a United States Marshal, showing that there was disorder at one public meeting ; but that could bc stated of every State in the Union. There is ten times moro disorder iu Pennsylvania on election day than in South Carolina ; but there are no troops sept to Pennsylvania. On the other hand, we have the best evi dence that there is no disorder calling for these troops in South Carolina. AU the clergy of the city of Charleston have written a letter to thc people of the Uni ted States testifying that there is none. Do these men of God, come before the people, on the most public occasion pos sible and perjure themselves? That can not bc. The presidents of the banks and other financial institutions in Charleston and other parts of South Carolina testify in Hie same letter that there is no disor der in the State of South Carolina. Now, what does this mean? Have all the leading business men of the State of South Carolina become perjurers and liars? I have herc the order of Don Cameron, thc Secretary of War, made on the 15th of August last. You will reco'l?et that, just before Congress adjourned, the House of Representatives unanimously passed a resolution deprecating any disorder, con fusion or nlarm in any of thc States of thc Union, and expressing tho opinion that all the people, especially those who had been recently admitted to the suf frage, should be, and would be, confirmed and undisturbed in their rights. What do you think was done immediately upon thc adjournment of that Congress ? Don Cameron issues an order to Gen. Sherman stating that the President thought that it was in accordance with thc spirit of that preamble and resolution, iiassed unan imously by the House of Representa tives, to hold in readiness th? whole army of the United States, and prepare to march upon the people. My fellow citi zens, is uot that a sham, a disingenuous and unfair statement ? Was it riot c false ?retence upon which he gave that order? hat was tho 15th of August, and the election was not to come until November. In 1870 there was a Conveution of tho Republican party to bo held in tho city of New Orleans to nominate a candidate for Governor. Gen. Grant's brother-in law, Mr. Cosey, was then Collector of the United States customs in that port. He headed a certain portion of the Republi cans of that State, and Warmotb headed another portion of them. Mr. Casey culled the Republicen Convention to meet in tho United States Custom House, where no political convention ought to be permitted to bo nssemblcd. The section of the party headed by Casey and Grant was the fewest iu numbers. Warmoth had a majority of the Convention. What did Casey and his people do ? They let in by a side door the friends of Casey. A troop of artillery wcro marched into tho Custom House, and they phuUd Gatling guns nil nlong to shoot tneir brother Re publicans that wouldn't voto for Casey, tho brother-in-law of Grant. This is a fact that Borne of us hud forgotten. I say that the proclamation of such i man, when confronted by the testimony of all these clergymen and business men, is not to bc regnrded as truth. But that is not all. lu 1872, in that same State of Louisiana, there was n contest bctweeu Kellogg and McHenry for Governor. The election was held on the samo day as the Presidential election. McHenry, the Democratic candidate, wr>? elected by 20,000 majority, as has since been re norted hv n. rnmmiiiM nf ii......i,i;..;... Seuntors ?f the United States. rBut you find Attorney General Williams tele graphing on the 3d of December to Mar shal Packard, who ?3 a connection nf this man Casey, "You are instructed to tako the army of tho United Suites and exe cute the decrees of any Federal court, and call upon Gen. Emory for that army.'' Why, at that time there waa uo decree of any Federal court. Eut two, days after ward a drunken Federal Judge appointed by Grant, Judge Durell, eita m his room in a hotel in New Orleans, and issues an order directing that tho members elected to the S'ate Legislature should not go in to the State House. Thero was no uuit. Thero was no claim. He had no more jurisdiction to make that order than you would have, Mr. Chairman, to make an order that all the peoplo here present ahould take out their watches and give thom to you ; and the Republican Souato of the United States have since so de clared by passi.-.g resolutions to that ef fect. 1 Here was an actual conspiracy. God forgive mo if I do them any injustice ; but when liberty is at stake, we ought to bo jealous. It was a conspiracy to issue ft false decree, and get. tho . army of tho United States to execute it.
