It is a truth that none should

be no government to administer in
this land, after tho 4th of March next,
until he administers if; and it would

revolutionary pretenders of the
tempest-tossed South American mock
eries of civil authority to attempt the
inauguration of Ruthford 11. Hayes,
against the deliberate judgement of
the people that his commission is the
creation of fraud. It istheso pregnant
truths which will unite the demand
of upright men of all parties to pro
test against tlie manipulation of re

and Florida, and which will compel

desperadoes to swing to the rear un

The absurdity of the Republicans
claim on Florida and Louisiana is well i
iliustratrated by the fact that mini-'

claiming North Carolina with might

the State by at least 15,000 major
ity.
The black hearted villians only
claim those States in order to allow
them:- Ives a little more time to fin

Tcbernayeff will go on leave oLtb
sence to Vienna to-morrow.
London, November 14.— The Time >■
of to-day has a strong pro-Russian
leading editorial article on the east
ern question. It lirst notices the:
slow progress toward an agreement
about a conference, and it bases facts,
which are clearly not promising for ;
success, but declares that the worst
symptom is the disposition to pre
scribe beforehand conditions incom
patible with ideas ot negotiation and
compromise. It cites as thus incon
sistent with the idea of a couirnmci
the stipulation that, there must be no
limitation of the sultan’s sovereign
will, But those who labor for peace,;
it says, will not. lose heart because !
the prospect is not perfectly clear.
The Tunes condemn the past British
policy, and says if Austria and Great:
Britain had known their interest last:
year tlier would have arrested an ex
tension of this difficulty by promoting
what was then a coinparut-iveleg easy
sett’emeot. It then proceeds to fore
cast the future in this wise: “Sup-1
passing the armistice expire without a
conference, or the eonlerence fails,
the czar would declare war, an- ivow- #
ing probably a desire to- add to the
Russian dominions, or any other ob
ject than securing good government'
for his Sclavonic brethren. Many
would say that this was mere hypoc
ricy and falsehood, bt it is clear that.
England could find no pretence until
much more had happpened than the
outbreak of such a war for suco an
avowed purpose. The tune, might
| come when we. declaring to U.r sol
tan our regret at the inevitable par
; tition of his dominions, might be
| lig*d to demand that ho sdonld re
sign Constantinople to a power able
to take care of it.
The Times says it does not suppose
it wool come to this. Ihe czar would
stop before be provoked a crisis call
ing for England’s intervention. \\ ith
Servia aggrandized and independent,
and with Roumania imlcp< anient and
aggrandized south of the Danube, iu
exchange for the territory ceded to
Russia on tfie north, he would stop
well contented with vvuat he had
done. It is a work the completion
whereof must be left, for another time,
but what a result this would be, a pol
icy having for its first note the main
tenance of the empire. A\ hat we
have described as the probable course
of events to which wo might look loi
ward, if the armistices expires without
peace being proclaimed, without say
ing that under the circumstances
could a shot be fired from Enghish
cannon, this much nmv he unhesitat
ingly declared that if. Russia took up
the war from Sorvia's failing hands,
Engliush opinion would no more jus
tify armed opposition f o Russia than
it did justify armed opposition to Ser
via. and the diplomacy of Russia
would show itself altogether deficient
in the sagacity attributed to it if it
did not so describe tho objects of the
war and restrict, its operations so as
■ to prevent the occurrence of anvsuffi
! oient reasoq for our interfering.
The Pall Mall Gazelle this morning
j in referring to the last paragraph of
| the foregoing article says, “with such
evidence as this affords of the atti
tude of England, Russian opinion is
j only too likely to be content,. That
!it will be utterly and dangerously
| mistaken we need not say, tint, a mis-
I take of this kind lias already once in
I tlie history of the two nations been
detected too late, and in any case it. is
i disquieting to find England is enter
ing upon a difficult, and critical nego
| tuition under as profound a delusion
las to tho temper ot tiiis country as
that which participated iu the Gri
j mean war.
The Times’ article concludes with
! an argument iu favor of a conference
not committed to inevitable failure.
| It believes that guarantees satisfacto
ry to Russia and possible to turkey
may be arranged, if Russia auuoun
! cos all attempts at settlement, which
! the Times' does not believe likely.
England would be free iu the future
and have the satisfaction of knowing
she was not responsible for the fail
ure. The experiences of the past dis
credit the suggestion that Turkey
might reject the proposals recom
mended by the joint authority of
Europe, but should it be realized
Russia would be only too ready to
act as the executive officer of a con
federation of the European powers.

Governor Cliaimborlain's dispatch

believed by tho impartial that the
Democrats who have given tho count
on Iho vote for Governor in every

ing point in his disjnntchj however, is
the evident determination to throw
out suificienl votes, to give the Repub
licans n majority. Governor Cham
berlain acts precisely us if tho votes
cast were to he but a small factor in
tho determination of the result. The
means taken by Eli Democrats to'
proclaim the actual stato of the polls
at their closing have forced the game
of Governor Chamberlain, and a des
perate gairn it is. He has clearly an
nounced the startling' fact, that a

sickening post mortem and inquest

voted for Grant in 1872, and for the

belief that the days of baliot-box stuf

That “One Vote.”
Tue New York Jerald says that
“by a misprint iu the ticket of the
name, one of the Haves electors in
Richland comity, South Carolina,
loses four hundred votes, ami this
very circumstance might possibly give
Tilden tho one vote now said to he
needed bv him to give liiin a majori
ty ot ali the electoral votes i:i the Un
ion.” And there is still another
chance of a Radical miscarriage by
ono vole. It seems that in Wiscon
sin, Judge Minor, of Richland ennui v,
one of the Republican candidates for
elector, was appointed Postmaster n
tew weeks before the election, and,
being rendered ineligible thereby,
the name of D. L. Dow ns was substi
tuted, on the Republican ticket. But
before this change the blanks for the
canvass of the votes had been sent to
the various counties by the Secretary
of States vjth Miner’s name on them.
When Downs was put on the Repub
lican ticket, the Secretary of State sent
around notices to correct the mistake
on the blanks, but in many cases it
was not done, so that from many
counties returns are received show
ing votes for Miner. The result is
that the Republican vote is divided
between Downs and Miner, and
Downs falls so far behind the ticket
that the Republican majority is over
came, and all of the Democratic elec
tors appear us receiving more votes
than lie has. The result will be, per
haps, that the Democratic elector
having the largest, vote will be elected
by these erroneous returns. Howev
er, the Republican!) need lose in sleep
o:i account of that “one vote,” for Til
den will be elected by such a majori
ty -as will make ono vote unimportant
in tlie count.

THE ICLE t TOR A L COLLEGE
AVakhinoton, Nov. 14.—1n view of
the possibility of tho Presidential elec
tion turning upon one vote, there is
some discussion hero us to whether
the full electoral vote of a State would
necessarily be diminished by reason
of tlie death, or absence from any oi li
er cause, of one of iis Presidential
< lectors wheu this lime arrives for
them to meet and cast their votes. It
appears from an examination of the.
Revised Statues U,.,„ in case of such
an absence on the first Y> ednesday of
December, the tune prescnlicd for
the meeting of the respective Electo
ral Colleges, there is no provision of
United States law empowering the
colleagues of the absent, member r o
cast his vote, as the Statutes merely
sav in regard to the manner of vot
ing, that “The electors shall vote for
President and Vice-President in the
manner directed by the Constitution,
namely: By separate ballots for
Pro-idnt " and Vice-President.
Sr:-‘ion 134 of the j-.e\iseil
Statutes, however, l.rovides that
“each-State iuav by law provide for
the filling of any vacancy which may
occur in its College of Electors when
such College of Electors meets to give
its electoral vote.'). It therefore ap
pears that the absence of n duly
qualified elector will not diminish a
State’s full vote unless said State
shall have failed to provide by law for
tho filling of such a vacancy: and, as
section 134 above quoted, is only a
repetition of the law enacted Jan. 23,
18-45. it is believed that all ot the
States have already made some
previsions on the subject under its
authority.
T ho throe Lying Governors.
Tim Governors -cf the States of
South Carolina, Florida, and Louisi
ana have shown themselves, during
the past week, to[be three most of the
impudent liars in the country. AYe
say this upon tho evidence of their
own telegrams:
On Thursday, Nov. 9, Gov. Cham
berlain of South Carolina telegraphed
to the New York Times that the offi
cial count in nine counties, with ac
curate estimates and reports from the
remaining twenty-three counties,
gave not loss than eight thousand
Republican majority in that State.
On Monday, the 12th, the same Cham
berlain telegraphed to the New York
Herald that the returns increased
' Haves’s majority to three thousand.
On Friday, the Kftli, Gov. Stearns
lof Florida sent a telegram to Secre
tary’ Morrill, which was published in
; the New York Times, saving that
Florida had given 2,500 Republican
majority. A special dispatch to tlie
j same paper, dated Monday, the 13th,
now avers that the majority is be
tween 1.000 and 2,000!
And Gov. Kellogg, of Louisiana,
after .repeated declarations by tele
graph and otherwise all last week,
that Louisiana had gone Republican
by 8,000 majority, confessed on .Sun
day in a message to the New York
Herald that he had no returns what
ever, and could really give no trust
worthy figures at all.
It is with the help of such frauds
as these three Governors that Hayes
is to be declared elected. Ax 1. Pan.

South CxitonxA The Charleston
A ~cws itinl Court r of last Fry day
gives the tioliiicniicomplexioti of tlie
members of the new South Carolina
Legislature. It seems that out of
thirly-tbive rncii.uiTs of the Senate
eighteen have now been elected, the
other fifteen holding over. Of these
eighteen, twelve are Democrats and
six Republicans; so that tho Senate
will now stand fifteen Democrats to
eighteen Republicans, gi'itig the lat
ter party u majority of one. in the
ilou.sc ot ii- pix-ssutatives there are
me hundred and tc-enty-four mem
bers, allot whom have now been
chosen; and of these, sixty-four are
Democrats and sixty Republicans,
nmking a Democrat!!! majority of
four, ami giving the Democratic
party a majority of one on joint ballot,
of the two Houses.
The Democratic gains not only
make probable the election of a IXl;;-
ocratic United States Senator to suc
ceed Mr. Thomax J. Robertson, Re
publican, whose term expires on tho
4th of March next, hat they also con
firm the probability that the people
of the State have not only elected
Wade Hampton to he Governor, but
have given a majority of their votes
to Samuel J. Tilden for Pres
ident.

Anew method l’-ar making cane sugar
is announced from Louisiana. The
apparatus i.s described as exceedingly
simple, only a perforated iron pipe
lodged in the knife along its w hole
length, communicating directly with
the boilers. There have been other
applications of a nomewhat similar
nature, known as “steam hath,” or
something of the kind, but iu ail of
these eases the steam used was the
exhaust of the engine, which, in fact,
was not steam, but vapor, and was
totally deprived of the powerful prop
erties of steam. At a recent trial of
this apparatus a lot of cane was
weighed by alternate,cart, loads into
two uinounts, eacn O') tons. Tlie first
lot ground by the old method, yielded
. 17;’ ut ands of juice, weighing 9 deg-*
i Buutnc- Tho second ioi, ground.by
the steam process, yielded 25 v grands,
of the same density, ail advantage oi
four grands in favor vf the steaming
process, equal to 22) per cent. These
two lots of juice, being redo ceil to
; syrup at 28 deg. Bauiue, were colecl
ed in large iron tanks, Bby 10 feet
each, and ganged, the first 30:, inches
in depth and latter 381 inches a clear
gain of 25 per cent, in pure syrup.
