The Savannah Houid of Health have forma'ly declared the vollvw fever epidemical nn end,and notified refugee* that they can return with safety. It is apparently reserved for the Republican party to inflict upon this country the crowning disgrace of at tempting to count in a President. No party ever before did anything ho shameful. This is sn anxious time for default ers six) thieves in tho (isverunient service, w hose crimes arc yet unde lectcil.

The people of the United State* expressed their opinion of that, sort of non*enee on tho 7jh in*t., by giving Samuel J.

Tilden's accession to tlio I‘res idency means political death to them, and they, Inning ftiled to prevent it by fair means, will do their best w ilh foul. i “Give us an honest count,” the New York Tribunt doiiiniuls. ‘ That is the denintid of the whole people. They b*-li*\e that Samuel J. Tihlen has been elected I’lcsident, and they dein.’nd that the ballots shall be counted. They insist upon a fair count; they will not submit to a man ipulated by Returning Hoard* nml overshadowed by Federal bayonets I’hilado phia voted 50,000 less than tli registration. Tlio Had* had pro pared for a large bogus vote iu ca*e l was needed. Tildon carries l’onn pylvania outside of Ftiiladolphia by over 4,000 vote*. lsat for the fraud* itlent voting in the “oily of brotherly hate,” Tildon would have probabh carried the State. The Republican thieve* were seen to be desperate during the campaign just cloaid, but it was never suppos ed that they were so deperate a* to attempt to carry an election Ov force and tiand, which they could not carry hy honest ballot*.' Their con duct since the election has been am p'y sufficient to justify the popular impression that they are fighting to keep out cl the |icnitniiary. We bad rather see i mini I’resi* dent than Have* counted in hv fraud; nnd, what is more, e believe Hayes would, too.— [.Vonr oA Ifutfetin. So must every honest Hepnhlicau leel, and so must feel every man who care* to oiaiutain the integrity of our inti in ion*. Vet we are inclined to b/ieve that Don Cameron and Z.irli (’handler do not take this view of the miiletr 1 lUH'KI J. TILM. Gov. Tilden is the man of destiny. When he was announced as a candi date for the nomination for Govern or, every politician predicted that he would never reueivo it. He got it by two.tliirda vote. Then they pre dicted his defeat. Ho was olootod by over 97,000 majority. Then they predicted Hint the delegation from liii own Slate would not Hup]>ori him for the IVeaidcncy. 'l‘hat delegation wits unanimously instructed for him, and unanirnonsly voted for hint' A disastrous failure to receive the nom ination was the next prediction. He was nominated on the second ballot by n two-ibirds vote. Then his over whelming defeat was the next proph ecy. Ho received ii popular majority of near 400,005, and 203 ch dural votes, and it was not until twenty four hours afterward that the Repub licans recovered t heir balance gufti eiently to conceive the ichemo of fraud they are now maturing. Rut not even fraud, backed by the w boie force of the administration, can keep him out of the Presidency. His op ponents have invariably been brought to naught before, ami they will bo overthrown again. wmiiim: wiut of the night? As the election returns from the different .State* are now pretty nearly in, it is time we should begin to have some correct idea as to who will he tho next President of tho United States; but np to this writing all is darkness bnfoic us. We are satisfi ed ns to the mice of the peple, hut a night of doubt hide* th e final result even from our wisest men. Tilden has been fairly elected t.y n large popular vote, and it a fair count is allowed.him, he will he certain to re ceive a handsome majority of the electoral fotos ; but "i here’s the rub.” It is now evident that tho republicans, led by Grant, have fully resolved upon a course of unfairness ) towards tho democrats, and are de termined to keep themselves in pow er at all hazards. Their purpose now, seems to bo to count South Carolina, Florida, and Louisiana tor Hayes, giving him a majority of one vote ; but this is only in seeming : \ their real purpose ia to tlnow the election in the Houses of Congress, for they well know the Democratic ; House, when it comes to counting the electoral votes in February, will never submit to counting the afore- j mentioned States for H ives, know ing they have been obtained fraud- ! nlontly. Now comes their well matured plan for retaining a Kepubli can president. They think, and with some reason, that if tho election is i thrown in tho House, as it, must be, they have power enough in tho House to prevent an election then altogether ; tlio Constitution, which they have amonded, probably, with an oyo to this very thing, now comos to their assistance and deolaios, in this condition ol affairs, that tlio president of the Senate shall aet ns president of the United States until another Executive can ho constitu tionals' elected by tho people. The Senate being republican by some majority, and having a right to elect their president, w ill, of course, keep their party in power by choosing one ol their leading men. Thus will the wish ol the people be defeated. W ill the people submit.’' We do not know, mid can only answer the question by asking another : How can they help themselves ? War will not avail anything ; indeed, we do not see now they could manage to start the war ; there is no court to which they can appeal ; no anything, that we see, but to trail, ami hope for better things that may be in store tor us. There is a chance tlmi their place may tail, and that our demo cratic House will settle the matter when it comes their turn to vote. We trust ao. God knows we don’t want any morn war, if there is a way to honorably avoid it—at tho very name of war, our thoughts go hack to the bloody pant; and innnntal panorama there pass before u blight ed hopes, desolated hearthstones, broken down industries, and the earth red with the gore of our brothers. No more war, but give |us justice. Lot the people rule. : Let Liberty triumph whatever party may Do crushed beneath the wheal* ot her ponderous car. L. lir love the election ii w t- a con test between parlies. Now il is a contest between the people on the one side, and the ofiioe-holders, sup ported by the army on the other. The people have cast their ballots, and propose to have them counted ns they were cast; the oflkse holder* propone, it necessary, to count in a l*icldent who widliot refo-ill llicsi out of office and into jail. That is the whole story, , 1 BFTWm THE PEOPLE AND TIIIS lIUIiEH. When the wisest of modern Mass achusetts statesman said that this Presidential contest was "between the people ami tho managers,” he wa- wi-er than lie knew. No doubt he expected, ns all other good citi zens expected, that when the grea conflict has) been once decided, the issue would he accepted in good faith by the defeated party, w hich ever it m ght be. We doubt if any law abiding citizen was in the least prepared for the spectacle that now presents itself of a pirty beaten tit the polls using the long arm of the Federal Government to turn the elec toral votes of States w hich undoubt edly voted for Tilden, against Tilden and inarching troops into Stales where there is no possible pretext for their presence, in order that fraud may be safely consummated. And yet this is what wo see. Governor Tilden has conceded to him by the Republican 184 electoral votes, with both parties claiming South Carolina, Florida and Louisi ana. The vote of any one of these will more than elect t.'ov. Tilden and the managers at once, on discovering the situation, began their desperate game to capture all of those States, two iif which at least, have undoubt edly gone Democratic. Troops are sent by a midnight order of Presi dent Grant into Florida, where run ners have been sent out all over tho State to alter returns and cancel the majority w hich Gov. Tilden has un doubtedly leceivcd. In L< tii-iana the same Returning Hoard that per petrated the infamous fraud of count- ini'in Governor Kellogg is gelling ready to count in the Republican electoral ticket. Probably no candid man of either party dmihts for a moment that these two State* have gone. I) rnocratie, and u verdict ii",ainst Samuel J. Tihlen in the one by force, in the oilier by fraud, wid he swept away bv the overwhelming indignation of a solid North and a •olid South. Wo warn Republican managers that they are going too far. The American people have do< ldod to take the Government out of the hands of the present office holders, and they do not propose to have those office holders retain it by means of armed usurpation. The issue is now simply whether the bal lots ot the people are to bo honestly counted or not, and in that contest the people arc all on o.ie side. We apprehend no disturbance or vio lence, and pray God none may eotne. They are peaceful remedies eve., for military crimes. The Djinooratie House of Representatives is now the sheet anchor of tlio people, and that House willin-ist upon tho inaugura tion of the President who lias been rightfully elected. If it should prove to have been Gov. llayes, w ell and good ; but if not, not the whole power of the Federal Govern ment can prevent the iuanguraUon of Samuel J. Tilden. A Qurkb Condition of things.— The fourth of March next conics on Sunday. It is the day when the President elect should be inaugura ted. This eeritnony will doubtless have to be postponed until Monday, the slh, President grant goes out !of office at 12 m., March 4. Mr. Ferry President pro lem. of the Senate ceases tj be a Senator on the 3d of March, at noon. There will therefore be neither President nor Vice President for at least twenty j four hours. It there-fore aj pears : that the machine will run itself for that lime. We presume if any grave qnestio should arise, the Pres ident elect could quietly be sworn in by the chief justice, even ifii were Sunday, only there will bo neither President nor Vice President, audit is doubtful whether the term of office of the Cabinet would hold. This is one of the queerest things in this queer ora.—JV. O. Timet. I'i.osk of thk Ckntfvxial. —The : Centennial Exposition closed at noon on the lOlh it\*t. Ii was a grand success as an cxibition and not alto pethcr a failure financially—not that the receipts have been greater than the expenses, but that the expenses Jo not so far behind the ! receipt* as was expected and has been usual with other worlds t.urs.

The Times' reporter in speaking of the demonstration at Hamilton fays : “At Col. Mobley’s and Col. ,T. T. Johnson’s some of the prettiest and most bewitching maidens had con gregated to lend their presence to the occasion. With such bright eyes beaming upon bravo men, it is no wonder that everybody voted the demonstration a grand success. Our special reporter returned yesterday morning, bearing the ap pearance of having left something in the sh ipe of a heart at Hamilton, and we tear ho was not successful in getting one in return, fie thinka of drowning himself, or going into a monastery.’’ There is really s< m ■ liing in a name a* the foMowing from the Mer riwciher Vindicator will show : “Last oek in empanneling the Grand Jury there was found to be one man more in the body than tho list showed names. The roll was called a time or two, and still the cause of tho discrepancy was not discovered. Finally, it appeared there were two men on the jury both bearing precisely the same name, both having been summoned, and both entire strangers ,to eacf! other. As their name was called they rosoonded simutaneously, so that the sheriff counted both as one. The mistake discovered, one was discharged. Roth boro the name of John 11.
