THE E A GJL E . Friday Morning, November 17, 1870. Mr. Tilden received 308,300 major ity of the popular vote. Gov. Jos. E. Brown is in Florida, and Gen Gordon is in South Carolina, in the interest of peace and a fair count. The Richmond dispatch is confident of the election of Tilden and Hendricks and thinks the present a fine time to establish a “corner” in chloride of lime. It says a great amount of that purifier will be needed by the new ad ministration to cleanse the departments at Washington. Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar, who is at New Orleans with the other distinguished gentlemen in the interest of a fair and honest count, sends this dispatch in regard to matters in Louisiana: “The .Democratic committee have complete returns made up from dupli cate lists, showing Tilden’s majority in the State to be 8,107.” “Nature abhors individuality”— blessings never come single. The in auguration of Samuel J. Tilden as president will cause business to revive, confidence will bo restored, the gloom which has hung like the dark mantle of night over our people will be lifted up, and sad hearts will be made to re joice. Peace and prosperity will take the place of hard times, and all will be well. Col. Sawyer, of the Rome Courier, is certainly in a pleasant mood. Hear him: “In the great joy that fills our hearts over the election of Tilden and Hen dricks we cannot find room for unpleas ant thought. We freely forgive all our enemies. There is not a living being whom we would harm. And if there are any who conceive that we have injured them we do most heartily ask their forgiveness. We could hug the world. We learn from the best authority that the power of deciding who is the Governor does not rest with the Re turning Board of South Carolina. In case of a contest the matter goes be fore the Legislature, which passes upon it. If either House objects to the re turn and sustains the contestant, a new election is ordered to take place within sixty days. The newly elected House of Repretentatives of the South Carolina Legislature is democratic by four majority.—Chronicle and Sentinel. To General Hampton, if elected, as seems probable, we tender our sincer est congratulations; for of all the heroes of this campaign, not one has won a nobler triumph. The measure of his fame was lull, but for the State and people he loved he sacrificed every personal feeling and interest, and against odds before which the bravest might have quailed, he has swept away the Federal power which clutched their very throats and trampled under foot the filthy vermin which fattened upon their substance. —Baltimore Ga zette. The New York Tribune, of Thurs day, conceding the election of Mr. Tilden, made a timely and graceful an nouncement of its abandonment of partisan opposition to the new Presi dent and his administration. “With last night’s counting of the votes,” says the Tribune, “Governor Tdden ceased to be the candidate of a party; to-day he is elected President of the whole country. As such, and until he has done something to forfeit his claim thereto, he is entitled to our re spect, confidence and support. How ever we may have doubUd him or his party or his policy heretofore, let us now accept the situation and hope for the best.” While the Macon Telegraph is con fident of tr.e election of Tilcfen and Hendricks by the vote of the people, it says “there is a prevalent suspicion that the Radical leaders are prepar ing for a grand coup d’etat by which they mean to seat Hayes or Grant in defiance of the suffrages of the people. W T e are disposed to think that, if they mean to attempt this desperate act of usurpation, they will transfer their electoral votes from Hayes to Grant, because they will need a leader of more nerve than Hayes, and one sup posed to have a commanding influence with the army. They will want one who will plunge into this fearful Rubi con, sword in hand, without doubt or hesitation about committing the coun try finally to the policy of a military authority.” The Jacksonville (Fla.) Press says: Our advices make it very certain that the State has gone for Tilden and Drew by a handsome majority. The returns so far received make the Re publican majority less than we counted on and the Democratic majority greater. All the Republican counties have been heard from except Jackson, and estimating their majority in that county at the same it was last year, and our majority in the counties yet to bo heard from by the same propor tionate increase which those already heard from have given, and the Demo cratic majority in the State will be 1,- 568 votes. The estimate may be relied upon. The majority may vary a little either way, but only a few hundred votes. Tilden has certainly carried Florida, and is therefore legally and justly elected President of the United States, the boasting party to the contrary notwithstanding. After the Batt'e. The great Presidential contest is over, and the result is no longer prob lematical. In spite of bayonets and false counts, Tilden and Hendricks are ovorwhelmingly elected. Without discussing at this time the wisdom or folly of the popular verdict, we may be allowed to express the fear that in some of these quadrennial revolutions, for so indeed they are, our free insti tutions may yet be subverted. We agree with Dr. Arnold, of Rugby, that the right of suffrage is a sacred fran chise that ought to be exercised with the thoughtfulness of a religious solem nity. Well and wisely cast, the ballot is a grand conservator of the morals and industries of the nation, but fla grantly perverted it is a curse and ca lamity to church and State. What with bribes and other less questiona ble means of corruption, both our Federal and State elections are fast becoming political Saturnalia, and in many instances most unreliable ex ponents of the popular will. It was predicted long ago by Alexander Hamilton that a Presidential election would sooner or later thoroughly try the compactness and stability of our government. This prophecy has al ready become history. Tha immense patronage of the Federal Executive continually augmented by the expan sion of our Territory, will become more and more the prize of earnest rivalry and even bitter contention.— The “Boys in Blue,” may yet re-enact on this continent the part of the Jani zaries of the Turkish empire, or the Pretirian band of Roman history. Let us, however, not despair of the Re public, but trust in that Gracious Providence which has hitherto been our nation’s surest defense. Nor should we forget in the midst of our I resent rejoicings that administrative changes affect but little the real springs and sources of individual hap piness, or national prosperity. Our chief happiness and glory must be de rived, not from party triumph, but from the purity of our hearthstones, and the intelligence, industry and sobriety of the masses of our popula tion. The country has voted for reform.— We trust that this embraces some thing more than retrenchment in the civil list—the cutting off of wasteful expenditures in other departments, and the selection of men of tried in tegrity for the various offices of the Government. Let there be a reforma tion of morals, public and private. Less partisanship and more patriotism; less self-seeking on the part of our politi cal leaders and a profounder reverence for those Christian principles which underlie and can alone uphold our National glory. Let there be less ea gerness in the pursuit of wealth; less vituperation and scurrility iu our po litical press, and a more general culti vation of that charity that hopeth all things and endureth all things. If such results are realized our late victory will not be barren of good fruits. We may then justly boast of our Republican institutions and of that ballot “Which executes a freeman’s will As lightning does the will of God.” The Situation. Since the adoption of the Federal Constitution, it has always been sup posed that the result of a Presidential election depended on the choice of the American people, as made known through the ballot-box. That the will of the people, when thus proclaimed, was supreme, and to it all must bow. This was the doctrine taught by the fathers, and hitherto has been the set tled policy of the country. Now, how ever, it seems that this momentous question is to depend on the decision of a corrupt ring of partisan politi cians, known as the Returning Board. These Returning Boards are of modern invention, and were organized in the States of South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana, for the purpose of perpet uating the Radical party in the States named, regardless of the popular *will. It is their province, and has been their practice to so manipulate the election returns as to reverse the will of the people as expressed at the ballot-box, and thus continue themselves and their party in power. A conspiracy so mon strous, so startling, has astounded the whole country, and the people of all sections of the Union are awaiting now in a state of subdued but feverish excitement the result of this revolu tionary venture. Hitherto the field for the operation of these Returning Boards has been limited to their own States, but now the fate of the nation may depend upon their action. It is reduced to a moral certainty that Mr. Tilden received a majority of the votes polled in Florida and Lou isiana, with the probabilities in his favor in South Carolina. This has been accomplished in spite of bayo nets, backed by the power and patron age of the government. Now, when the people have tri umphed in this unequal contest, will the great body of liberty-loving Ameri cans allow a corrupt set of pliant par tisans, styled returning boards, to set aside and defy the popular will ? Will they permit the solemn verdict of the people to be annulled by fraudulent manipulations? We think not. It is a question that rises far above partv, and in which every friend of free gov ernment is vitally concerned. A Chief Executive inaugurated, tainted with fraud in his'election, would forfeit the respect of the people and compromise his authority. His administration then becomes one not of consent but of force, and from this there is but a step to empire. How it Stands. We conld have filled the Eagle this week with telegraphic dispatches and reports from the great centers of in terest, viz: South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana, but our readers, after wading through them, would be but little, if any wiser, than at the begin ning. We are still satisfied that Mr. Tilden is elected, but believe that every device that oan be invented will be employed to count him out through the returning boards in the States named. Many prominent men of both parties have gone to Columbia, Talla hassee and New Orleeans, iu the inter est of peace and a fair and honest count. What will be the result it is impossible to foretell. All that we can now say is, that the situation is exceedingly critical, with a strong probability that the present complica tions may continue for some time to come. We have an abiding faith that truth, justice, and right will prevail, and that all will yet be well. The Military and the Ballot. President Grant, not satisfied with the election conducted under the sup ervision of the military, has ordered this arm of the service to the three doubtful States to superintend the counting of the ballots. This is a novel spectacle in American politics, and cannot be justified by law or pre cedent. If it be settled that the Pre sident of the United States, through his subordinates, is to control the whole machinery of popular elections, then the ballot becomes a mockery and elections a farce.

Whatever may be the result of the South Carolina election, nothing, says the Baltimore Sun, can be more ad mirable than the self-control and for titude which have been exhibited by the people of that State under the most unheard-of provocations. It may be doubted whether such a spectacle of moral courage has ever before been exhibited in this country. The white population of all ages and classes have been subjected to insults and wrongs which would not have been borne for a moment in any Northern State in the Union. If it were possible to suppose that the people of any Northern or New England States would be forced to endure from the lowest class of their population such contumely and injuries as the South Carolinians have suffered from a more ignorant and brutal class of men than any other to be found in the Northern or New England States we may be permitted to doubt whether they would have “accepted the situation” with such calmness and self-restraint as have been exhibited in South Carolina un der the most extreme provocation. None but the people conscious of right and of courage of the highest order could have passed successfa"y through such an ordeal. Indeed, it may be said of every man and boy in South Carolina that they have exhibited in this extraordinary canvass a “hero ism above courage.” The negroes who wrecked a train on the Port Royal railroad, on the j 18th of September, have beee caught.

Now when the battle is over ant the smoke has, in a measure, cleared it is interesting to recall and ikite down the many varied scenes anl in cidents of the great political strujgle that has just come to a close.

When the first dispatch arrived, a lit tle before eight o’clock, announcing that ihe State of New York had prob ably gone President said nothing the ashes off his sent the dis patch in to Mrs. Grant. Other dis patches now began to arrive in quick succession, but nearly all of an inform able character, and by degrees, the presidential face bqgan and the conversation t be feSs animated and hopeful. Shortly after eleven o’clock, the partjff adjourned to the State dining room on the floor below, where a magnificent collation had been spread, to which all present did ample justice. At the Republican Headquarters, on F street, there was considerable en thusiasm manifested early in the eve ning, but it died out by degrees, as if a WET blanket had been thrown over it, and by midnight the rooms were de serted. Not so at the Democratic | Headquarters on Seventh street, where a brass band was in attendance, and where the feeling was jubilant to the last degree. It was far into the “wee small hours of morning” before the assemblage dispersed; and all through the city might then be heard the “Rah’s for TILDEN,” —but from none louder than from the “fence men,” who thought that their opportunity to “come over” had now arrived, and that the political sumersault might be undertaken with some degree of probability that they could land upon their legs on the right side. To-day, the feeling of dejection and disappointment at the Departments is very general, and while some still con sider the result as doubtful, the ma- had accepted the situation and all hope; knowing, as they “to the victors belong the they do not look for a tenure aßfice extending beyond the fourth jJßlarch next, when the new Presi- I (Bnt takes his seat. That event will lave the effect of COMPLETELY REVOLUTIONIZING afiairs, social and otherwise, here in Washington; the circles and coteries we have known so long we shall know no more, but others will come and take their places; prominent leaders of fashion and of society will glide into obscurity and will soon be buried un der the sod of oblivion (for it is won derful how last we forget!) and we shall do homage to people whose names perhaps we do not even know now. As the glories of the second empire van ished at a single blow at Sedan, so will the social glories of this present ad ministration vanish into thin air after j;he 4th of March, to be followed by a new order of things, which the future be able to determine whether it is an improvement upon the there is room for improve- kt ■ no one who has lived iu Wash- Bn as long as has your correspon- Bwill venture to deny, be his poli- W complexion what it may.

Then specula ions as to who will compose the next Cabinet, will be in order, to be fol owed by the preparations for the in augural of the new President in March.

The city which saw the birth of the Declaration of Indepen dence, witnesses the rise and end of a great memorial century exhibition which closes with the announcement of the national command, uttered at the ballot box, for the restoration in the United States of a government of constitutional liberty.’ Among the men who thronged printing offices throughout the coun try for election particulars, were many with ragged clothes, and hungry, pinched faces. They were living mon uments of the ruin brought on the country by the extravagence, corrup tion, and of Grant’s Presidential terms, now, fortunately, so near a close.—Ex. Bh a v Si'll draw- The Columbus Enquirer says there have been twenty-nine gin houses burned in Georgia since September Ist. With them were destroyed 200 bales of cotton, which, with the houses, gins, etc., it calculates as entailing a loss of $24,500. More than enough, it adds, “to insure, for the same time, all the gin houses in Georgia” The Seaport Appeal, in an article on the recent epidemic, says: “We are informed that enough information has already been collected to make it cer tain that the disease was imported from the West India Island in a vessel, and did not come from Savannah or originate here.” It is now aserted that the Centenni al Exposition will not only pay exyen ses, but actualy pay beck the $1,500,- 000 borrewed conditionaly of the gov ernmeLt. The receipts have already been $3,289,488. Seven or eight colored men who ate stolen pork at a Sunday school cele bration in Washington county have died since. The pork was poisoned with strichnine.

They will have a good working majority of about thirty in the House. Norfolk received during September and October 148,613 bales of cotton, an increase over the corresponding months of 1875 of 48,906. Mr. Candler’s majority iu the Atlan ta district is 8,039. Markham didn’t come within 250 votes of a majority in any county in the district. An attempt was made to burn the Presbyterian church in Macon one night last week It was discovered however, in time to prevent any seri ous damage. An Atlanta corespondent of the Au gusta Constitutionalist says there are five hundred and seventy New York Heralds, eighty Tribunes, sixty Worlds, seventy Suns, one hundred and thirty Times and eighty Cincinnati Enpui rers taken in that city. The New York Herald still gives Hayes ICO electoral votes and Tilden 184, with 19 doubtful. It says, refer ring to the doubtful States as far as additional detailed returns go, they point as before to the Democratic suc cess. The wind has been blowing quite cold from the North since the South went “solid” for Tilden.
