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 turns iu Louisiana, South Carolina and Florida, and which will compel the Chandlers and like politial desperadoes to swing to the rear un til the peril they have madly invoked lms been avertid by tho patriotism of the whole people of the country.— Philadelphia Time*. Millions is the Pools. —-The New York Graphic says it, is reported that John Morrissey has deposited $3,000,- 000 of pool money in one of the city trust companies. There is probably ] as much more put into the hands of I the other pool managers. It would not be extravagant to sav that there j are $5,000,000 to-day pending upon the results of the elections in various . States, and thesuiu is increased hour-; ly by the conflicting stories which; come from the doubtful States. If there should he no election or adis-j pnte as to who is President,, the peo ; pie who have invested iu pools would ho deprived of theifinouey for some ; time to come. The absurdity of the Republicans claim on Florida and Louisiana is well i iliustratrated by the fact that mini-' bers of Republican papers are still 1 claiming North Carolina with might and mind, although nothing is more | certain than that Tilden has carried 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 ish up their job of plunder.

TCHERNAYEIF TO STAY AWAY. Belgrade, November 14.- The Rus sian consul general here has informed General Tcbernayeff that the czar for bids his return to Russia. General 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. AVith sixteen counties to hear from, Tilden has reeieved in Georgia 70,529 majority. Noistli Carolina’s Vote. Governor Cliaimborlain's dispatch to the Herald contains hut little, so lar as tho results of tho voting on the 7th iust. are concerned, and that, lit tle strangely vague, jt is more than curious that in a State like South Carolina the Executive thereof should not bo able to furnish us with some thing more definite. It. will he fairly believed by tho impartial that the Democrats who have given tho count on Iho vote for Governor in every county are correct. The most, strik 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 board composed in the majority of of ficers seeking re-election to their present posts shall pass upon the va lidity of the returns and throw out. districts at will; nay, that enough will he thrown out to settle tho result. Al'tei all the parade of troops to “pro tect t he colored citizens,” after all the Kepublirun jubilation that now every one could cast his vote in peace, after an election without riot or disturb ance of any kind, wo are treated to a glimpse of (abriented charges of “wholesale intimidation,” a sort of sickening post mortem and inquest on the “bloody shirt.” If the troops had not been poured into the State; if tho murders and assaults and brow beating of the colored Democrats had not been notorious; if the United States Marshals had not bad the whole ,Staie*in their hands for weeks before the election, arresting white men right and left, the country might, for all its suspicion of the rascals who have ruled in the South until it is im poverished and almost bankrupt, have lent an ear to Governor Chamber lain’s ghost stories. They wil not be listened to now. The troops are al ready in tho State and there is no dangei of any dis nrbancc, but we earnestly entreat the Republic ms who are above winning by fraud to join minds with the only as!: an honest count- of an honest vote, to send representative men to be pres ent at the canvass bv this suspicious ly composed board.'—A - .

It. is composed of the Secretary of State. State Treasurer and Attorney Gener al. I believe them to be fair men. however, and have no doubt that a fair count will bo made. AA'm. A. Cocke will probably be admitted to assist the Board. He is a Democrat, and is trusted bv the people. Cocke voted for Grant in 1872, and for the present Republican Governor, but took the stump at the outset of the past campaign for Tilden. It is my belief that the days of baliot-box stuf fing in the South have passed, and though I am a Republican I concede the election of the Democratic ticket in Florida. The great influx ofue -1 groes from Georgia lately led me to suppose the State would go Republi can, but as they have already done i their best in the districts in which they have made their home, lam not in doubt concerning the ability of the white counties to overcome their vote and make the State Democratic by at least 1,500. As for Key West, it is ' made up principally of Cubans, who : voted the Republican ticket in 1874 ; and the Democratic ticket the other j day. To prevent this latter result, a Cuban was appointed postmaster of •Jacksonville some time ago, but this had no effect whatever. Under the law, thirty days are al lowed the Inspectors to make official j returns, and it will probably be the i middle of next week before anything of a definite character is learned. From Dade county the returns must travel to Key West, a distance of (50 miles, thence to Cedar Keys, a dis tance of two days from the Capital. Nothing authentic will he known, therefore, until 12 days have el.it zed from the day of election. The Gihi.s to Gov.

But. wo put great trust in the good sense, justice, and moderation of the people. IVo do not believe that the lutm of either party, except their “scurvy politicians," will tolerate or extenuate any semblance of fraud m counting or declaring too returns of the Into election. If any party hopes to win the campaign not by honest voting, but by tricks in canvassing the votes, i‘ lies on ten and upon a road whieli will quickly lead it to mill, A party might gain a passing and seeming cava,'dago by •fraudulently <v v'ipg ip a ,E , Pdeut, but such a (inception would ! e sure to bej'ound out and recoil upou its inventors and practisers to their ut ter destruction. No pari y can com mand the confidence and adherence of any great proportion of the Ameii eau voters that would tamper with the results ot the election iu the fashion of which we have heard so many hints and misgivings in the past few days, ihe political leaders know perfectly well that the moderate men, who from tue great majority of the two parties, will sternly condemn any attempt to. change by fraud the lawful figuresol the election, and will hold its perpe trators to a rtiict rcokeTnug.

Journal of Commerce. 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. “Just Out. ’ A young lady, in a neighboring town went into a dry goods store and thus unburdened herself: “It is iny desire to obtain a pair of circular elastic appendages, capable of being contracted or expanded by means of oscillating burnished steel anpiiuuc.es that, sparkle like particles of gold leaf set with Cape May dia monds, and which are utilized for re taining in proper position the habi liment, of the lower extremities, which innate delicacy forbids me to men tion.” The vender of calico was nonpluss ed but not. wishing to appear iguo rant, said that he was “just out.” After her departure lie ruminated in silence for a few moments when a new light broke upon lbs distracted brain, and he burst forth with: “By thunder! 11l bet, that woman wanted a pair garters. • Uutiocetsaiy Alttnn The color 'd people in ties town and county manifest considerable uti oasiuess as to then' future condition under a democratic administration of the government.

Weekly Con slitution. 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.

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.
