FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 21 1878.
The Canvassing Board of Florida
lms postponed the counting of the
Stale vote until the 2nd of December.
Our patience is exhausted over these
recesses ot radical villany.

The Supreme Court has issued a
peremptory maud emus to the board
0 canvassers, requiring them to give
certificates of election to members of
the Senate and Housd of Representa
tives, appe iring on the face of the
returns to be elected.
Pending these proceedings of the
Coiut, and not withstanding their own
lesolntion that they would take no
action until their powers and duties
had been defined by the Court, the
board held a session without the
k owledgo of any of the parties on
t e Democratic side, and issued cer-
tificatcs to all the members of the
Legislature except for Laurens and
Edgefield counties, thus securing a
majority of the Legislature to the
Republ can side, thus securing tho
defeat of Hampton and the election
of Chamberlain; and also issued cer
tiScates of election to the Hayes and
Wheeler Electors, and to all the Re
publican State ticket, correcting the
errors which defeated their own can
didates, and ignoring all errors of
the same character which would have
e ected the Democrats. The board
then adjourned nine die.
This action of the board has cre
ated much excitement, but the citi
zens are determined to rely upon
the courts and exhaust all legal
means of redress. It is currently
believed that the action of the
board was taken under dirctions
from Washington, and rumors on
the tits street credit a prominent
judicial official who has recently
arrived here with being the or
gan of the authorities at Washing
ton .
LOUISIANA
Nothing definite.
FLORIDA.
Washington, Nov. 22.—The sum
mary rulings of the Florida Circuit
Court are in accordance with the
Democratic pleas. The rules are
temporary, to be linily decided to
morrow.
The Constitution of the United
States prohibits the election by the
Electors of a President and a Vice
President lrom the same State. The
question which may arise is, can the
House and the Senate, in the event
of no choice by the Electors, elect
both the President and Vice Presi
dent from the same State. Hon.
Jere S. Black is reported elsewhere
as saying that if Tilden is not declar
ed elected by the Electors, the House
will elect Tilden President, and the
Senate will elect Wheeler Vice Pres
ident. They arc both from New
York, and one of them would be inel
igible by the Electors. It certainly
was the dasign of the Constitution to
forbid the choice of both President
and Vice President from the same
State no matter by what body elect
ed; but it does not say so in express
terms, and this may afford tricky
politicians a pretext for violating it
in spirit.
Dr. D. Warren Bricked, of New
Orleans publishes in the Democrat a
statement that when he first went to
the polls to -vote permission was re
fused him, on the ground that his
name was not on the registry used;
he presented his certificate of regis
tration, and was still refused, but
was told that he could see one Pat
Cr.tagb. He finally found the “of
fice” of Pat Creagh, who referred to
a written registry and found his
name there. Creagh then wrote this
note to fthe managers: “Dr. Brick
ell's name is not erased from either
of my books. Allow him to vote.”
On this perrn'fc he voted. The cir
cumstance shows how arbitrarily'
Kellogg's managers of the election
“bassed” the voting in that city and
no donbt tnronghout the State,
koftii ctuom t.
"The intelligence from South Caro
lina, says the Chronicle and Sentinel
of the 10, is of the most gratify ing
character. The State Board of Can
vassers which was relied upou by the
Republicans to falsify the returns
and count Chamberlain in lms
quailed before public indignation,
and decided that it has no jurisdic
tion over the election returns for
Governor and Lieutenant-Governor.
There is no longer nny doubt, as to
the election of General Hampton and
the entire State ticket. South Carol
ina has at iast been delivered from
the hands of the spoiler. Ignorance
and corruption shall no longer insult
and oppress intelligence and virtue,
and South Carolina takes a place a
inong her sisters of the Union as a
free and independent State.”
This assures the election of a Dem
ocrat, to the U. S. Senate, to succeed
Rolxw’tson, Rad. Let u* hope t.ha’
General M. C. Butler will he chosen.
To him and General Mort Gray the
State is vastly indebted for her re
demption. and they deserve the high
est compliment within the gift of the
, people.
Paiitiice, iao4i-r.tli a tut For
lieaicut'c
While the patience of the people
of all sections of the country is be
ing severely tested by Ihe wicked
machination and bold usurpations
of the Radical conspirators, who
seek hv fraud and force to per
petuate tlieir corrupt rule—while
the people of the South, especially,
are subjected to wanton insult, in
justice and humiliation by tlio in
famos tools of an unscrupulous and
vindictive faction—it is gratifying
to observe the prudence, mode
ration and forbearance which has
thus far characterized the utter
ances and the action of oar peo
ple. This moderation and for
bearance will not be attributed
either to their indifference or pusil
lanimity. No reflecting man, no
lover of tree institutions and
constitutional government, can
be insensible ol the danger which
to-day menaces his liberties and
the peace of our common country
and the patient, yet resolute calm
ness with which passing events are
contemplated by our citiz ns is
proof that the American people,
even under the demoralizing in
fluence of Radical misrule and
corruption, have not yet degene
rated to the level of the Mexican
mob, and that they are both cap
able of and will achieve for them
selves a better destiny. Let the
watchword still be patience, pru
dence, moderation and forbear
ance, and all will yet be well.
Whatever is to be achieved for thi
salvation of the country mast be achi
eved by reason and peaceful rneasur s
—not by passion and violence. II
anarchy and civil strife is to be the se
quel of Radical outrage and usurpa
tion, let the responsibility rest where it
belongs. The South cannot avert the
impending catastrophe—let u not
precipitate it. In this crisis of the
nation’s fate our proper position must
be that ol ’‘masterly inactivity.”
A Boston doctor, who has given
much time to the study of the hair,
says that bear’s grease is the safest
dressing, it it is bears grease; but in
these days of adulteration, that is a
difficult matter to determine. He ad
vises lard and castor oil, in equal
parts, flavored with bitter almonds.
A pint of sago tea*, with a gill of bay
rum, tablespoonful of salt, and a
dozen drops of ammonia, is as good a
remedy for falling hair as exists.
Should tho integrity of tho Flori
da ballot be successfully defended
and preserved through the efforts of
ex-Govlfrnor Brown and Colonel
Cocke, they will have achieved a
national fame that will one day se
cure them mart)led immortality in
the rotunda of the Capitol. Forty
millions of people now look to them
for a just solution of the difficulty,
the peace of the country and tho
safety of their institutions.

Food us Fuel.
Eating is heating. A dinner heats
the eater. Truo, it also satisfies the
appetite: but the appetite is only na
ture’s tell-tale, calling attention to
the tact that the body needs more fu
el, —that is, more food.
When a man has dined, it is some
times the case that for a little while
he will fuel chilly. This is duo to the
heat, previously diffused ovor the bo
dy, concentrating itself in the work
shop ot the stomach. There it is bu
sy in tho work of digestion. Diges
tion is the preparation and dissolving
of food, so that it may cotta into the
blood and become fuel. \*hen the
work of digestion is well under way
the heat, increased by tho tuldltion
of more fuel or food, again diffuses
itself over the whole body, and the
man is warmer than he was before
he dined.
If you did not eat you would grow
cold; the fire would go out, and you
would die. You must keep Warm in
order to live.
The process by which food is turn
'd into boat is called, in chemical
phraseology, oxidation, which is
equivalent to combustion. I; i< a
sin u ir combustion, differing from
all other burnings. Trie fuel is wet.
The food must be thoroughly soaked
before it can be turned into fuel for
the body. The burning takes place
in water, that is, in the blood aim
muscles, which contain a great deal
of water. It gives out no light. It
is not confined to a separate part of
the body, but goes on burning, hit by
bit, the whole body. It burns as
food with the oxygen of the air. The
blood is furnished with combustible
materials by the food, and gets oxy
gen from the sir of the lungs. Thus
it carries to all parts of the body fuel
to burn, and oxygen to burn it, with.
Everywhere this burning is going on,
because the blood goes everywhere.
This is the reason why the body is
warm.
Several wholesome lessons may be
earned from these facts.
Eat only nutritious food, and that
in the proper quantity. If the foot!
s not'nu tritious, that is, if it is want
ing in carbon and other elements of
combustion, it will not make fuel. It
clogs the body and interferes with th<
working of the various organs. II
ood is taken in too large a quantity,
it is not consumed; the body grows
heavy and stout, and cannot do its
work.
The body requires pure air. To
burn its fuel thoroughly, it must be
duly supplied with oxygen. Tho pu
rer the air, and the more freely it
circulates, the greater is the supply
of oxygen. Ventilation is not a luxu
ry, but a necessity, if you desire a
clear mind in a sound body.
The body must rid itself of the use
less products of combustion, the ash
es and clinkers that are in the way.
Some of these products are casl out
through the pores of the skin. It,
therefore, must be kept clean. Tn
sidc and outside the body must be
washed, or there will be trouble.
Remember that food is turned into
fuel by digestion; that poor digestion
makes bad fuel, and that what green
wood or slaty coal Lto a fire, that
bad fuel is to the body.— Companion.
W. Jasper Rlnckburn, who ('alls
himself “the oldest native Republi
can in the Gulf States,” telegraphs
to the New Orleans Democrat a pro
test against the fraud contemplated
by the Returning Board. He says:
“I call for a display ot manly honor
in this matter. Tilden ami Nieholls
are evidently elected Let them b<-
inaugurated. If not, then let us
have another war and an eternal se
paration, of another policy of recon
struction. The South, and especially
Louisiana, cannot live as she has
been living for the past decade. It is
a mockery upon human rights anti
an insult to all to say
that she can.”
