Wo understand Unit tbo villninous
horde of thieves nt Tallahassee has
put off counting the vote of t*'e State
iinil the electoral vote, until the Bth
of December next. This is done
doubtless to (jive them time to make
a final grab, yen, that Montgomery
may collect all tin; tax of Madison
county before ho leaves. Let them
leave, and take their colored brothers
with them, on whom for years past,
they have pretended to expend all of
their sympathy, and the white peo
ples menus, and found an empire in
Africa; for no other country can be
found that can adapt itself to their
wants. There they can, with the help
of their equals, the freed men, catch
the wild negro, subdue him to their
uses without violating any law. Let
this leprosy leave your State, nuit see
that they are not long in doing so.
Let them carry with them tbo yokt b
of bondage cast for your necks, but
l-nve your liberty untarnished. Don’t
wait, don’t relax a single effort, but at
once brake, forever brake, the shack
les that have bound you for the last
ten long and wearisome years. Wake
from your fatal slumber and by a
manly defence of the eternal demands
of justice, right, liberty, truth, virtue,
and dignity, assort your manhood in
tones not to bo uiislakened. Rise in
the majesty of your power, and swear
before high Heaven, that you in
tend to be free. And your reward
will bs to yourselves and families, a
generous living. Whereas, you are
the servants of the worse type of
thieves the world has ever produced.
Is not the work before you worthy of
your bc >t efforts.

Talt.aii.vssk, Fla., Nov. 13, 3,370.
The election, as you have already
been advised, passed off quietly, but
not without the usual oornrnittants of
Radical frauds and corruption. In
spito of the desperate intrigues of the
carpet-baggers, the contest has result
ed in a certain victory for the Demo
crats. There is, however, a prospect
of serious complications in conse
quence of the reluctance of the Radi
cal conspirators to accept their de
feat as inevitable, and tlie old scheme
of tampering with the returns is like
ly to bo resurrected. The most out
rageous iniquities were committed by
the Radical plotters in nearly every
county for the purpose of controling
the election. Repeating prevailed in
Leon county to a frightful extent,
and in Duval, minors voted almost
without hinderance. In Alachua and
Bradford counties the miscreant Den
nis improvised Republican voters with
astounding success, by dressing negro
women in male attire. The latter
ruse almost exceeds human credulity,
but it is a fact! Alas ! too true ! Not
withstanding those-baso and villain
ous adventurs, the complete triumph
of the conservative hosts is assured,
and tlio Radical vassals are preparing
to cheat us out of our victory by oth
er means equally as vile and unblush
ing. The circumstances that no offi
cial report from a Radical source lias
been yet received from Alachua, and
the extraordinary figures at which the
carpet-bag fraternity estimates the
majority there is suggestive of a pre
concerted project on tlieir part to
stuff the ballot boxes in that county
prodigiously. Aside from the tricks
licrc indicated, that supperated at
cess, Stearnes, will make a determin
ed effort to create the impression that
frauds were perpetrated in Democrat
ic counties, and refuse to count the
verdict in favor of Reform. The State j
has undoubtedly given a handsome
majority, also, to Tilden, and it i3
perhaps, fortunate for Florida, that
the National election depends upon
this fact. The Radical leaders are
vaunting that they intend to cast the
vote for Hayes. But, unless wo mis
take the temper of the Northern
press grievously, the pests of this i
commonwealth will not dare to put j
their infamous designs into execution, ;
Millions of money will be sent into j
this section by the Radical etnmissa
rics to .assist in engineering the ap
pliances of corruption, but will not.
avail much, thank Providence. Flor-,
idn is undoubtedly for Tilden, and
you may trust uncle Sammy to sub
stantiate his claim. Let us, neverthe
less, seize this occasion, to caution
the political trimmers of traiterous
propensities in Florida, that they are
closely watched, ami that any' attempt
ou their part to collude with the Rad
icals, will assuredly not be allowed to
go unrebuked or unpunished, i’he
yottei; 'politicians of Duval and Leon
counties will take notice that they
cannot betray us in this crisis, as they
have so often done before. Our dau
ger "ins solely at Ibis juncture, in the
possible perfidy of our own (rusted
friends, who are probably now as they
have ever been unable to resist (lie
blandishments of the Radical reptiles.
The alarm hath been sounded. Bo
ware, Florida is Tilden's irrevocably,
and we are determined to have it!

hurrah for Hampton!
( l KKENVII.LE, S. NoV. 10, 187(1.
Mn. Knrron: —-Perhaps a few items
from South Carolina will bo of some
interest to, nt least, a few of tbo many
readers of your paper; especially
those who are blessed with a patriotic
heart. 'Wo have just received a tele
gram from the Executive Committee
of the State, telling us that General
Hampton, the Democratic candidate
for Governor of the State, has boon
elected by a majority of fifteen hun
dred. The news is so good lam al
most temp tied to doubt its truthful
ness. I heard a man say, if it did
prove to be true, be bad no doubt but
that you could find dead men all over
the streets in the morning, their joy
being more than they could endure.
There is a general jubilee in town
now—men and boys are ringing bells,
beating drums, blowing trumpets, etc.
I have witnessed a great many
scones where pcoplo were made to re
joice, and where they were as jolly, i'
seemed, as they could be, but such
another spectacle as this I never be
held before ! Even the colored peo
ple—those who voted the Democratic
ticket—are yelling to the top of their
voices, Hurrah for Hampton ! But
those who voted the Republican tick-
, et are standing on corners and in out
of-the-way places with their noses
j turned up, their lips sticking out, and
with a most doleful appearance, the
| secret of it all is, they are defeated-
The people of South Carolina were
1 very energetic during this campaign,
j 1 heard ono mail say that tho Deino
: crats where ho lived were so hot with
politics that if you were to put them
: in water they would “seiz” like a pieoe
of hot iron. They wero determined
that justice should be done, notwith
standing the many disadvantages un
der which they had to labor. And
now they are, or soon will bo, free
from the licavv taxation which has
been levied upon them. The God
who does all things right, lias beard
amf ansivfered their united prayers;
and now under the Administration of
Gen. Hampton peace and prosperity
will once more reign throughout the
land of old down-trod.loti South Uar
or’ina. The day of the election was
very exciting, all the business houses
closed, and to our surprise, the du
ties of the College wore dispensed
with, everybody was requested to elec
tioneer for Gen. Hampton. This duty
wes very pleasant to those of us who
are “college boys,” I suppose it was
because we are disposed to be a little
mischievous sometimes. We took
great care in trying to show to the
colored men their error, and trying
to get them to vote with us, but our
arguments seemed to have but little
effect; for, although they would ac
knowledge that they were not voting
exactly right, they would not listen to
our solicitations. They said they
were willing to do anything for us
that they could, but they could not
voto with us. Sometimes they would
almost insult a man to bis face, which
I must say, was light hard for a Geor
gian to take; but taking into consid
eration the condition of things, we
thought we would bear with them this
time, and so we did, and the victory
is ours. And now in conclusion, let
me ask every reader to give us three
cheers for Gen. Wade Hampton, our
next Governor of South Carolina.
Respectfully,

Editor of the Reporter.
Dear Sir — lt has been the custom
for great revolutions to be achieved
by the sword, hurling thousands into
eternity, who, willing to sacrifice
themselves for their country’s good,
bequeath its benefits to posterity, and
live not to realize its advantages
themselves. This is undoubtedly
Patriotism, but at what a cost is it
manifested. The soil is dyed and
renovated with tho bast blood of the
people. Humanity shudders at the
thought of the dying groan, and the
mangled form from whence the cry
of pain and distress proceeds, and
sympathizes with grief, shedding !l
tear over the dead, who but a few
short hours since, stood forth in man
ly pride, their hearts glowing with
enthusiasm in the righteous cause in
whose joys they are forbidden to par
ticipate. At length tho Angel of
| Peaco conquers tho Demon of Dis
! cord. The victory’s won, and a Na
■ tion’sjoy is the cause of a Nation’s
tears. But inspiration says, “The
1 sword shall he turned into tho plow
share, and tho spear into the prnn
ning hook.” May wo not hope that
this prediction is about to be verified,
and peace on earth ami goo 1 will
amongst men shall keep despotism
under control and check tho vile pas
sions which false pride and cupidity
are 100 apt to engender, and human
depravity encourage. As the defec
tion of Adam brought a curso upon
himself und his posterity which 1 hu
miliated them to dust, so shall Chris
tianity, under the blessings of pence
and civilization, restore and eTevate us
to the position it was intended they
should occupy in creation. Not
merely as Lords over the rest of cre
ated beings, bat as servants of the
Most High, under whose protecting
hand lovo, peace, prosperity and good
will amongst men mu A prevail. Wo
already see that amongst civilized
nations, arbitration is preferred to
tho sword. Such an instance is on
record, where it will ever remain an
honor to the two nations engaged in
controversy. The ono for acquiescing
in that mode of settlement, tho other
by gracefully submitting to tho de
cision. What a precedent dons this
furnish for the great Powers of Chris
tendom. It only requires a proper
understanding between them, an in
ternational code to direct and cement
that fraternity which may exist
amongst Nations as well as States.
But the writer has still a greater me
mento of civilization to record, which
has occurred at this day and at our
own doors, and which, considering
the magnitude of the case and the in
terests involved, is unprecedented in
history, it is
THE BLOODLESS REVOLUTION OF 187(1.
Which probably no other country but
America could have at this day achiev
ed, a revolution as great and of not
less importance to this country than
that of 177 G. Then our independence
was dearly bought at the price of the
best blood in the laud, and was it not
for the ballot, it would now cost the
same price to maintain it. But we
havejshown and heralded to the world
with lightning speed, that the ballot
in the bands of a free and enlighten
ed people is mightier than the sword,
it builds up honesty, it puts down
corruption, it makes and it destroys,
but in its path of destruction it leaves
not a mourner. All share in its bless
ings, and friend and foe eventually
become linked in one common destiny.
Like two streams entering tbe same
bright reservoir, the one turbid, the
other clear; the former marring the
beauty of the seeuce only, whilst im
purity remains, but which removed,
helps to reveal a greater lustre than
heretofore existed. So may this, our
beloved country, whoso glorious in
stitutions have been-defiied, and pros
perity checked by the hand of cor
rutpion, arid misrule He relieved of
all incongruities and purified by ad
versity, come forth like the Phoenix
from its ashes, and be invigorated and i
made happy by tho Sun of prosperity. !

Tilden is elected. The South is re
deemed from carpet-bag rule! Long
lire the Republic.
Columbia, November 12, 9:40 r. ji.
Seuator Gordon, of Georgia, arriv
ed here this morning on a special
train, to be present at the count of the
’ official vote of the State by the repub
lican board of canvassers, which will
probably begin to-morrow. A num
ber of northern senators are expected
to arrive in the morning for the same
purpose.
It is understood that tho tactics of
this board, a majority of whom are
candidates for re-election on there-;
publican state ticket., is to throw out
the vote of several of the heavy dem
ocratic counties, on the ground of al
leged frauds, and thus secure their
own t-lection and that of Chamber
lain.
Protests against any judicial action !
on the part of the board have been en-1
tered by tho counsel for the demo- 1
cratic candidates, to which they have !
replied in a set of resolutions deciding ;
that—
1. They will only act in a ministe
rial capacity as to governor and lieu
tenant governor, and members of the
legislature, the qualifications of which
officers are 10 bp. adjudged by that
body itself.
2. That they will not individually
sit when their own election cases come
up for action.
3. That they aro entitled to’lioar
and tlecide protests and contests in
the cases of presidential electors and |
congressmen.
There is great but depressed ex- j
citernent here as to the result in the j
state. The people are so confident of
the election of Hampton that any at- ,
temnt to defeat their will by the board
of canvassers will bo met with the
most determined opposition and resis
tance to the bitter end.
No additional-returns have been re
ceived to-night except a change iu
the votes of two counties—Sumter
and Marion—whicll leaves the result
about tho same as yesterday.
Charleston, Nov. 13. 1 a. m.
The latest corected rctunrs give the
democratic state ticket 1,318 majori
ty. Tilden’s electors in thirteen out
of thirty-two counties run 712 behind
the stato ticket. Governor Chamber
lain claims the state for the republi
cans by 2,000,
New Yoiik, Nov. 13—1 a. in.
Tbo following additional dispatch
has been received at the Democratic
headquarters in this city:
Tali, ah aha ii, Nov. 11.
Thirty-throe counties just heard
from give a democratic majority of
308. There are six counties yet to
hear from which gave a democratic
majority in 1874 of 720. ' The conii
nes to be heard from, which are all
democratic, will increase their majori
ty of 1874 by 25 per cent. The repub
lican organ here eonceds this per cent
jof increase. This will give the Dem-
I oeratic ticket a clear majority of 1,-
200. Tile information from the comi
ties heard from is reliable. At least
lour hundred colored people voted
the Democratic ticket in this county,
which gave a republican majority of
2,019. Serious frauds are apprehend
ed as to the returns. The legislature
is democratic.

A special to the Morning News
from Lake City, Florida, rays returns
ate in from all but four counties.
They base the result in these counties
upon the Democratic majority of 1874
which gives the State to tho Demo
crats by 800 majority. All the Dem
cratic comities show a heavy increase.
The democratic majority will be—at
a safe estimate—from 1,200 to 1,500.
Tilden will not fall three hundred be
hind state ticket.
Washington, November 12.
. Secretary Fish and Secretary Cam
eron were with the President in Phil
adelphia when his orders were issued
j for troops for Florida and Louisiana;

Prevention Io Better Thai! Care.
Yesterday we again took occasion
to call attention to our cumbrous and
dangerous method of counting Presi
dential votes. The present emergen
jey unfortunately only too well
! confirms our statements as to the ex
} pedieucy of a constitutional amend
ment. It has, however, become neces
j surv to deal with the evil as it now is,
j and if there is really danger that
! votes in Florida, Louisiana or South
Carolina have been falsely counted,
j the future peace and quiet of the
country demand impartial and im
mediate investigation into the charges
which may be made. It must be
discovered where any by whom the
alleged frauds have been committed
before it is too late to prevent their
disastrous consequences. The strength
and the stability of the incoming four
years’ admiuistiation depend upon
flic foundation upon which it now
buses its right to exist, and should one
of the candidates be placed in tile
Presidential chair by any proceeding
which can justly be termed unfair it
is unlikely that the consequent
disatisfafction will be soon or easily
appeased. The almost equal strength
of our two great political organization
points to tho danger of suspected
usurpation on tho part ot either, and
it is as wrong as it is unreasonable to
remain blind to tlie risks of wrong
dealing in so vital a mat
ter.
,Senator Morton submitted a report
from the Committee on Privileges
| and Election? during the fiirst session
. of tho Forty-third Congress, in which
jit is stated:—“Where tho choice of
| President depends upon the election
|in a State which has been publicly
I characterized by fraud or violence,
| and in which one party is alleged to
have triumph and secured tho certifi
! cates of election by chicanery of the
fraudulent interposition of courts,
such a President would in advance
be shorn of his mortal power and
authority iu his office, would be looked
upon as a usnper, and tho consequen
ces that would result from such a
state of things no man can predict.
But it may be compared to what lias
so often occurred in history, where tho
; successor to the crown iu a monarchy
was believed by a large part of the
' nation to he illegitimate, or not to he
s rightfully entitled thereto under the
laws or usages of the nation.” This
grave warning comes from one of the
! leading republican Senators, one of
the foremost and most influential men
of his party. His words give us reason
to hope that he and others of his
party will place patriotism above party
and unito in condemnation of any
attempt, should such be made, to
manipulate the vote of a State iu the
interest of the republican candi
dates. — N. F. Herald.

No Ku Kluxing the Elections.
(From the New York Herald.)
One of the parties in Florida sends
a report that the other party lias
“wrecked a train and Ku Kluxed the
tho election returns.” The report is
probably untrue, but the phrase is
well used. It reminds ns to toll the
politicians of both parties that the
pcoplo will stand no Ku Kluxing of
election returns this time. They mean
ito have peace and fair play. If the
democrots have carried Louisiana the
people will not allow Governor Kel
logg and Mr Packard, with a too con
venient Returning Board, to Ku Klux
the vote. They wore allowed to do
it in 1872, so far as tho result had
' only a local importance; but tbo Sen
ate refused to admit the Senator elect
ed by their fraud. They did it again
in 1874, but public opinion forced a
i republican Congress to condemn the
fraud m the most positive and con
spicuous manner by unseating some
of tbo members of the Legislatin' who
wore Ku Kluxed in by the Returning
Board. We beg the Now Orleans re
publican managers to remember that
their previous frauds are well known
hero in tho North, and that as men
already detected and exposed in Ku
j Kluxing election returns they have
need to be conspicuously fair and up
right this time. All their acts and
proceedings will be watched with the
most jealous- eyes by honorable men
j of both parties in the North, and they
| should remember that tho presump
tion lies fairly against them, because
they have already been detected in
the same trick of which they are now
suspected.
So, too, in South Carolina, we warn
the adherents of Governor Chamber
lain against attempting to Ku Klux
the election returns. They cannot j
hope to succeed, for they will bo ex
posed, and their own party in tbo l
North wifi disown them. It is very
well understood here that the South
Carolina election machinery has boon
!constituted in a suspiciously unfair'
and partisan manner. Judge Mackav,!
of the Supreme Court of the State, !
himself a Hayes republican, but op
posed to corruption, has exposed the;
maimer in which Governor Chamber- j
lain arranged for a count of the vote. 1
There is a Board of State Canvassers !
the majority of whose members are i
candidates for election on the same |
ticket with Chamberlain, and are thus,
by a, monstrous perversion of fair;
dealing, allowed to canvass and de
cide upon the votes of the State and i
declare whether they themselves are
elected; and not only this, but of
the ninety-six Commissioners of Elec
tion ill the counties seventy are Cham
berlain's declared partisans, and forty :
are office-holders who hold their pla-1
by his appointment.
Now, no one ought to be condemn- j
ed on mere suspicion; but if we tim! j
a man going about on a dark night
with a kit of burglar’s tools be cannot j
blame ns if we keep our eye on linn;;
it is not ungenerous or unjust to re- j
gord him with suspicion and to re- \
quire liim to give a very clear account j
of himself. In Ku Klux times in Ar
; Kansas a Slate law, stilt on the stnt
i u!o book, authorized any citizen to j
! shoot down any one caught with the
mask and paraphernalia of a Ku Klux.
We do not desire to bring odium,
upon Messrs. Chamberlain, Packard
and Kellogg; but we warn them that
they are known herein the North;
j the honest men of both parties re
gal'd them with suspicio and they have
i need to play not only with common
. but with very conspicuous fairness.
If they have carried Louisiana and
South Carolina so bo it; but they
must satisfy the honest and fair-mind
ed men of both parties in the North
of that fact, or they will be disowned
and execrated by their own party.
There must be no Ku Kluxing of the
election returns. Whatever unscru
pulous politicians might wink at, the
main body of the republican party in
the North is honest and patriotic and
will tolerate no injustice.
Thii Next House oe Representatives.
—The Washington Star (Republican)
says: “Enough returns have been re
ceived to indicate a very eloss division
of parties in the House of Representa
tives of tbo Forty fifth Congress. The
present House consists of 187 Demo
crats and 108 Republicans, thus giv
ing the former 77 majority. To over
come this majority 39 more Republi
can members are necissuiy, and these,
sanguine Republicans have claimed,
would be forthcoming after the elec
tion. The election lias .come and gone,
and it looks as if their hopes would!
be at least partially realized. At the ;
October elections tbo result in Ohio j
showed tv Republican gain of 5, and
in Indiana of 4. Illinois is reported
as giving a gain of 5, California of 2,
and Massachusetts of 4. Forney’s;
/Vexs clames a gain of 4 Congressmen
in Pennsylvania, and New Jersey i
gives a Republican gain of one. it
will be seen that seveu States probab- j
ly give the Republicans a gain of 25. j
A gain of 14 more Congressmen would j
give the Republicans a majority of
one in tile House. The New York j
Herald predicts that tho Democratic, j
majority in the House will be reduced
from 77 to about 25.”
The Election is Over.— We advise
the colored Republicans to quit
persecuting their Den ocrutic brethren
and hush their nonsense about being
put back into slavery. Tilden is elec
ted, and bis olection will prove a
blessing to the blacks ns well as the
whites of the whole country. The
lies of carpet-baggers and scalawags
will soon be exposed; their prophesies
that the negroes would be re-enslaved
if Tilden should be elected will be
proven as false as their promises of
“forty acres and a mule.” The whites
and negroes must enjoy the same
prosperity or suffer the same adversi
ty. The whites of the South do not
feel that a victory over the negroes
has been won, hut over corruption iu
high places. Tho election is over.
Telegranbic dispatches cannot change
the result. Let all settle down to
sober, earnest work, and all will be
well. —Geortjm Com momceallh.

votes, the State will bo counted for

I and myself were standing talking in
the Grand Hotel office, a little while
ago, commenting on the dispatch from
Florida, when a gentlemen internipi
■ oil ns by saying that be could relieve
! alljonr anxiety about Florida. He then
stated that ho was a United States
| Commissioner of Customs in Florida,
and that ho had just arrived from that
State, and that he would bet $1,009 to
SSO that the State would be counted
for Hayes,, 110 went on to say that
jbo knew all the members of the re
turning board personally, and that if
' the vote of Florida was needed for
jjjiyes it would bo eertanlv fotboom
ing. He said tho matter bad been
arranged before the election, with the
understanding that tho present c in
tingenev might arise. Several strong
Democratic counties lmd been spot-
ted, and irregularities in the election
machinery provided for in advance,
such as having the Republican clerks
to resign when if was too late for any
one else to receive a regular commis
sion, etc. When questioned about, the
actual vote of the State, lie said be did
not doubt it had gone Democratic,
but it would surely lie counted for
I Hayes. He said most, if not all, the
; young men of the State voted this
! time the Democratic ticket.
Reporter—Did you learn the com-
I missioner’s lianio ?
A. B.— I did. He is certanly well
acquainted with Florida and the peo

“Let Us Have Peace.”— The New
York Tribune of Thursday, conceding
the election of Mr. Tilden, made i
timely and graceful announcement ot
its abandonment of partisan oppositi
on to tho new President, and hi*
_administration. “With last night’;
counting of the votes,” says the Trib
une, “Governor Tinlnn ceased to li
the candidate of a party; to-day he i
elected President of the whole coun
try. As such, and until he has dom
something to forfeit Lis claim therol
ha is entitled to our respect, corifi
deuce and support. However we mil
have doubted him or his policy here
t iforo, let us now accept the situation
and hope for the best.”
Washington, Novenber 12.
The returns of the popular vote
shows that Tilden has a majority n;
270,000. It is claimed if Hayes shoulo
he elected by one electoral vote lit
would be the only president win
went into office as a minority prt s'
dent.
Buchanan and Lincoln had a ] n
ralitv, but not a majority over 1
other candidates, while Tilden has i
popular majority of over a quarter ol
a nillion over Haves and Cooper.
A Washington dispatch says: “The
negroes here have been very turbu
lent and insolent for several day:
past, and a riot Las been apprehen
ded.”

Tho Democrats hold their owi
pretty well on Congressmen. They
will have a good working majority ol
about thirty inthe House.
