Public interest In the Presidential
election was more intensely excited
yesterday than before, in this city,
and no doubt throughout the Union.
The evident oloseness of the oontest,
and the great doubt about the votes
of a few States, were what so greatly
Increased the public anxiety.
At the time of writing this, we ore
still in great doubt about the votes
of South Carolina and Florida, and
about how Louisiana will be counted.
We are disposed to give up all hope
of Oregon, Nevada and Wisconsin.
We never gave any credence to the
special to the New York World, tele
graphed to us yesterday, that Illin
ois had gone Democratic, nor to the
Radical claim that North Carolina
was doubtful.
Tllden baa 184 Electoral votes sure,
counting fortblm all the Southern
States except the three above men
tioned as in doubt (South Caro
lina, Florida and Louisiana),
and adding New York, India
na, New Jersey and Connecticut.
If Tllden carries either South Car
olina, Florida or Louisiana, he will
be elected. We are in doubt about
South Carolina and Florida, but we
have no doubt about the popular vote
of Louisiana, notwithstanding Oov.
Kellogg’s dispatches. The Demo
crats have carried the State fairly, by
a considerable majority. But, as
one of our dispatches from New Or
leans significantly says, the Return
ing Board decides elections in Louis
iana. We can only judge of what the
Louisiana Returning Board will do
by what It has done in the past, and
by indications of what it 1b preparing
to do now. The New Orleans Demo
crat of Wednesday gives us some in
formation as to preparations making
there now. It says that a secret
meeting of the Radical leaders, Mar
shal Pitkin, Packard, Kellogg, Dib
ble, Mat Wells and others, was held
in the custom-house that morn
ing; that General De Trobrland
was “in waiting in the building,
evidently subject to the orders of the
gang. It was thought that he would
be sent with troops if necessary to
carry out their orders, and assist the
Deputy United States Marshals in
seizing the city ballot boxes, if this
should be finally decided on by
Packard and Kellogg. The Radical
programme is not yet fully deter
mined. It is supposed, however, to be
their intention to summon the Re
turningfßoard to meet immediately
in the Custom House, to seize the
ballot boxes as the only sufficient
returns, change the figures from the
country parishes, and proclaim a
Radical majority before all the re
turns and the figures have reached
the city,”
The men mentioned above will be
recognized .as those who figured pro
minently in the election frauds com
mitted in Louisiana two and four
years ago. They manufactured votes
of the parishes to suit themselves,
and gave oertifloates [of election to
whom they pleased. Gen. De Trobri
and is the samelFederal military offi
cer who entered the Representative
hall and made hls| soldiers take out
of it Democrats regularly and fairly
elected. He appears to be obedient
now, as then, to the commands of
Kellogg, no doubt so instructed from
Washington.
We are strongly inclined to the
opinion that the excitement about
this Presidential election, instead of
being over, has only fairly com
menced.
The Highest Monument in the
World.—The new cast iron spire of
the cathedral at Houen has just been
completed. The Semaine Religieuse
of that diooese publishes the follow
ing particulars relative to the com
parative heights of the principal
monuments of the globe, as contras
ted with this new work. None of the
structures raised by the hand of man
has made so magnificent or so lofty
a pedestal for the Christian Cross.
The dome of St. Peters, at Borne, the
marvel of modern art, thrown up to
the skies by the genius of Bramante
and Michael Angelo, has raised the
emblem to 452 feet above the ground;
Strasburg, the highest cathedral in
all France, reaches, with its celebra
ted clock tower, 405 feet; Amiens, 439
feet; Chartres, 399 feet; Notre Dame,
at Paris, has only 222 feet. The Paris
Pantheon, considered one of the
boldest edifices, does not exceed 308
feet, the cross included. On another
side, the highest pyramid—Cheops—
measures 478 feet according to some
travelers, and 465 feet according to
others; and this latter calculation is
the one generally adopted—a height
which no known human construction
has hitherto exceeded. The pyra
mid of Chephrem has 436 feet, that
of Mycorenus 177 feet. Among more
modern edifices the dome of St.
Paul’s, London, has 360 feet, that of
Milan 375 feet; the Hotel de Ville,
Brussels 352 feet; the Square Tower
of Asinelli, Italy, 351 feet; the dome
of the Invalldes. Paris, 344 feet. St.
Sophia, at Constantinople, only rises
to 219 feet; the leaning tower of Pisa
to 187 feet; the Arc de Triomphe,
Paris, to 141 feet; the Pantheon of
Agrlppe to 141 feet; the Observatory
of Paris to 88 feet. The dome of the
Capitol at Washington, including its
statue, reaches 307 feet in height,
Trinity Church steeple being 284 feet.
From these figures, which are given
in round numbers, it will bo seen
that the spire of Rouen, which has a
height of 492 feet, is the most eleva
ted monument in the world. The
old one, commenced in 1544 on the
plans of Robert Beequet, destroyed
by the fire of September 15, 1822, and
which was justly considered one of
the boldest and most perfect works
in existence, had a height of 433 feet;
it was therefore 59 feet less than the
present spire.

WASH INC TON LKTTU.
WASHINGTON ON ELECTION DAY.
from Our Rag ular Ooimpoodful.)
Washinoton, Nov. 7,1876.
The interest in the Western elec
tions has become feverishly intense
here; every particle of intelligence
from Indiana and Ohio is scanned
and debated with an earnestness that
can be felt only by those who imagine
that their bread and butter depend
upon the result. Government clerks
who have for years received their
monthly pay with solar regularity,
pray and labor for the Republican
candidate, with an instinct of self
preservation, and a zeal hotter and
more desperate than that of patriot
ism. They are to have ten days’ leave
of absence, without reduction of pay,
in order that they may go home and
vote for Hayes and Wheeler. Some
of them would doubtless prefer to
vote the Democratic ticket, but none
will openly exercise this preference;
to de so, would be to commit official
hari kari.
The politico-moral condition of the
Government employees in Washing
ton, under the national aegis of the
bronze Goddess of Liberty, which
Jeff Davis placed upon the dome of
the Capitol, is somewhat anomalous,
and it suggests something that has
been called by the terrible name of
“intimidation, ’ when exercised by
individuals or corporations, in sec
tions remote from government de
partments and custom offices. But
then, we must not make the mistake
of judging a powerful, pure, paren
tal administration, by the rigid rules
which we apply to those rude South
ern communities. There are palpa
ble differences. The p. p. p. admin
istration is laboring, in this hallow
ed anniversary, to perpetuate the
lovely statu quo of the last eight
years—with its dainty manipulators
of iron safes, and Freedmen’s bank;
with its brilliant speculators in pub
lic lands, railroad stocks, crooked
spirits, and military posts; and with
its able architects of private fortunes
and public ruin. While, on the
other hand, these semi-civilized
Southern communities are trying,
by means of the insidious ballot-box,
to wrest their homes from the p. p.
p. administration, and retain the pit
tance that is left.
When it is seen that the heads of
departments can spare so large a
number of their employees, for so
long a time, and that too after the
"crippling reductions” that have
just been made by the “Coafederate
Congressone is lost In admiration
of the versatility in argument, and
the plasticity of logio (lies) Invented
by the party of “moral ideas.”
Washington is an extremely sensitive
political barometer. But a comparatively
small portion of the vast number of office
holders is here, but that small portion
comprises a much larger number than is
in any other single locality. From my
window I can see the flaring signs of sev
en Republican State campaigu clubs.—
The office of the Cabinet Minister who
is Chairman of the National Republican
Campaign Committee, is just across the
street Secretary Chandler says every
thing is lovely, and the bread and butter
myriads find hope and sustenance in his
smile. But the complicated political ba
rometer, seen from this stand point, is not
on the whole as favorable to the Repub
licans as they supposed it to be a few
weeks ago. The lies about Gov. Tilden’s
ineome tux have Bpent their malicious
force, and ore recoiling upon their perpe
trators. The exaggerated majorities in
Maine and Vermont, shows by official
count actual Democratic gains, and now
comes Governor Hayes' complicity with
the American alliance to plague their
dreams. C. A. S.

—ln Augusta, 2,920 voters have been

—The Jonesboro’ wagon train still runs

—Flint river farmers, in Crawford coun
ty, are offering to soil corn tills fall, from
their cribs, at 25. a bushel.
—The extensive gin and machinery

—One hundred and eighty thousand
dollars worth of the old city bonds of

—The Darien Gaxette requests its ex
changes to state that Darien needs no

are received every day from physicians
wanting to locate there; and they write
because of a late advertisement that phy
sicians were scarce in Darien.
—The Augusta Chronicle learns that
when the duly appointed managers open
ed the polls at Waynesboro, the negroes
refused,to vote there. Jeese Wimberly then
led them off, opened a ballot box In a barn
and received the negro votes. About six
hundred votes were cast in this way. As
a matter of course they, are illegal and
will not be counted.
—Atlanta OommonxeeaUh: A great many
colored men voted the Democratic ticket
in this city Tuesday, and two or three de
servo particular mention. One escorted
the Hon. B. H. Hill to the polls late in the
afternoon, and made room through the
dense throng for that gentleman to vote.
And several other gentlemen were carried
triumphantly through the crowd by the
colored heroes.

Letter from Ur. Isaac I. Hayes on toe
Failure or the Rritlih Arctic Expedi
tion— rapt. Nares Evidently Mistaken
wltb Bearard to the Permanency or the
Ire Barriers- Hasty Conclusions Based
on Inadequate Explorations.
From the Now York H.rald.]
To tne Editor of the Herald;
New York, Nov. 2, 1876.-I have
just read in the Sun of yesterday an
article referring to my letter which
you published on Monday last, con
cerning the recently returned Brit
ish Arctic expedition. I have not a
copy of the Herald containing that
letter on hand, and as I leave the city
almost immediately have not time
to obtain ono. The Sun implies that
I have doubted the veracity of the
distinguished commander of that ex
pedition. It was certainly no part
of my intention to do so, and there
fore I hasten to correot any such pos
sible impression that may have aris
en in ;he minds of your readers. The
impression I desired to convey was.
that I did not believe that the ice
he discovered formed any per
manent barrier lagaiust the ap-
S roach to the Foie by way of
mlth Sound, and I wrote that I
did not believe a word of it. I had
no motive or intention to doubt that
he encountered, as is stated, ice eigh
ty feet thick. Such ice I have seen
and traveled over. It is not. howev
er, general, and is not and can not be
formed by direct freezing; the limit
at which ice will form in that man
ner being from fifteen to eighteen
feet. This exceptionably thick ice is
the result of the piling up of table on
table under great pressure, and pos
sibly, in some cases, by the surface
accumulation of snow and its connec
tion, as in the glacier upon land, into
ice by partial thaw, subsequent freez
ing and pressure. Such heavy fields
ofice are but rarely more than a few
miles in diameter, and .are, like the
icebergs, drifted to and fro by the
winds and currents. The average
thickness of the Arctic ice formed by
one winter’s freezing is about five
feet, and the greater part of this dis
appears in the summer by melting.
As to any permanent barrier existing
in the quarter visited by Captain
Nares, I cannot conceive it possible,
since no such barrier exists else
where, and I therefore asserted that
one year was not enough to prove or
disprove anything in relation to the
matter, and why the entire expedi
tion should so soon have abandoned
the field seems to me strange.
They had every convenience for a
long stay and were in a most favora
ble position, and beyond the highest
point reached by the Polaris and a
long way beyond that touched either
by Dr. Kane and myself with sleds.
Over the open water discovered by
us, and which Dr. Kane had no hes
itation in calling the Polar Sea, the
expedition sailed without difficulty,
to be met ultimately by an Ice barrier
which obstructed their progress.
But this barrier could not in ray opin
ion have been permanent, and I ex
pressed the opinion that another
year ought to have been given to ex
ploring it, as another year would
most (certainly change the position
of the fields. The ice of Smith Sound
is probably the heaviest known,
but it is shifting continually, even
during the winter. An open season
may be followed by a close one, and
where ice exists one summer may be
entirely free the next. I cannotafter
several years’ experience in Smith
Sound conceive of such a thing as a
prominent ice barrier existing on any
water. Even along the land the
bulk is continually changing in
obedience to the winds. It is this
which constitutes the danger and un
certainty of Artie navigation.
I renew the expression of my regret
that the British expedition did not
remain another season in the field;
and I renew also my belief in the
non-existence of any permanent bar
rier to tho Polar basin. That a ship
cannot with safety attempt the pas
sage may be true enough, but that
any of the Arctic waters should be
permanently and compactly frozen
over is against all previous experi
ence and against all reasonable anal
ogies of physical geography. Sir
Edward Parry reached to 82 degrees
45 minutes to find the ice drifting un
der him and rapidly going to pieces.
This was in tho Spitsbergen Sea, in
1827. However, I nave not the time
nor you the space, I presume, to go
into a discussion of this matter. My
present desire only is to do myself
the justice of denying that I ever in
tended to doubt for a moment the
perfect truthfulness of Capt. Nare’s
statements, though I do most cer
tainly doubt the accuracy of his
judgement and the correctness of his
oonclusions.
Isaac I. Hayes.
An Anecdote of Tchernayeff.—
One of Tohernayeff’s soldiers was charged
with cuttiug off two fingers in order to
render himself unfit for service. The
soldier, when taken to headquarters, ad
mitted that he had coaxed a comrade to
do him the favor. “And were you not
ashamed," asked the Qencral “to abandon
the field when the Turks are on tho soil
of our fatherland ?” “I am quite willing
to fight the Turks,” was the reply, "but
I wanted to see my home again.” ‘‘Well,"
remarked the General, “you shall have a
long leave of absence. Bay your prayers.
You will be shot this moment. The
platoon advanced, and the soldier, after
making the sign of the cross, stepped in
front of the executioners. Suddenly he
turned to tbe General 1 and placing in his
hand a few pieces of money, said, “To be
given to my wife after ” “Go and be
her yourself.” The man who loved his
wife was pardoned by his country.
