(fyiititnnn iiqmrkr, JOS TILLMAN* Edttot*. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER l'\ IK7II Exit 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. Loiter from Florida* The Exorcism of the tiarpot-ilHg Incubus Itiiilicul Schemes and Elans. [.Special correspondence of tlic Reporter.] 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! Beppo. 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, 11. J. M. S Qiiitjian, Ga., Nov. 13th, 1870. 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. ! Madison. Cheering News i'rom Florida, South Carolina, and Louisiana. We clip from our exchanges the fol- j lowing cheering dispatches. The question has been asked thou sands of times. “How do you feel j now about the election. What’s the latest news?” To one and all, we say that we feel firstuate, thank you. 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. E. R. Rbnicy, Chairman Ex. Com. Savannah, Notion: her 12. 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; j and requesting the presence of trust ed people at New Orleans. It is j known that 'lie President took the i reins in his own bands, and it is be lieved bis ambition is io steer tin; \ country safely through tbo present ! danger, and so see to it that the man 1 rightfully chosen chilli lie President. It is significant that these orders went directly from the commander-in-chief to the general of the army. (Npedal to the Kepobteb.) Returning board in Florida lias 35 I days to decide. Returning board in | Louisiana should meet Friday. Can give no news until the courts and - boards do something. The Electoral I vote stands Tilden 184, Hayes ICO, I with South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana undecided. Tallahassee, Fla., Nov. 15, p. m. All the counties heard from except ! two, and Democratic majority is 540 | the two to hear from are certainly j Democratic and will swell the mnjori i to 800, and great interest manifested 1 on both sides, but no wild excitement prevails. Cocks is all right, and we ! may get a fair count, if not trouble is inevitable, Mclntosh. 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.

For ten years has this subjest been under con- j sideration, and Baron Haussmann ! complained that tho dead gave him j far more trouble than the living. I 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. Tho Count in Florida. wind a Man who has “been There” knows About It. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Another gentleman 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.
