New York, Nov. 12.—The following
additional dispatch has been re
ceived at the Democratic head
quarters in this city.
Tallahassee Nov. 11.—Thirty-three
countiesljust heard from give a Dem
ocratic majority of 308. There are
six counties yet to be heard from,
which gave a Democratic majority in
1874 of 720.
The counties to be heard from,
which are all Democratic, will in
crease their majorities of 1874 by
twenty-five per cent. The Republi
can organ here concedes this per
cent, increase. This will give the
Democratic ticket a clear majority of
1,209.
Information from the counties
heard from is reliable. At least 400
colored people voted the Democratic
ticket in this county, which gave a
Republican majority of 2,019.
Serious frauds are apprehended as
to returns.
The Legislature is Democratic.

quer wisdom, and that a certain de
gree of insatiety threatens to culmi
nate into the judgments of those upon

of peace or war. The speech of tho

ARRIVAL OF TROOPS TO SUBJUGATE LOUSI
ANA.
From the N. O. Bullotin, 12th.
In their councils at the Custom
House yesterday the Radical leaders,
Kellogg, Packard et al., decided that
the Democrats stood a fair chance of
carrying the State, even though live
parishes were thrown out, and in
order to perpetrate more villainy
that they must have an official count
of all the votes cast in the State.
By this course they imagine that
they can and will manipulate the
country ballot-boxes and the tally
slieets yet unreturned ;and, by means
of a few fraudulent affidavits, manu
factured for the purpose, they claim
that they will present such a strong
case to the Returning Board that the
North will he satisfied.
To prepare for such an emergency,
these rascals sont into the parishes,
before the election, emissariesfor the
purpose of collecting names of ne
groes to attach to t he affidavits, which
will set forth that they have been un
able, by intimidation, to vote; and
right well have these sullions per
formed their labor.
The blank affidavits wero printed in
this city, and were signed with jurat
attached in blank by two officials
vested with the power to administer
oaths. Tho leaders here have also
advised with Senator West and the
Washington gang, as well as with
Gov Stearns, of Florida, and the same
programme will be carried out In that
State.
For the purpose of protecting (?)
their Returnng Board in this Slate,
they have induced Grant to order a
portion of the U. States army to this
c-itv, and four or five companies ol
that armjof the “bestGovornmontthe
world ever saw,” arrived here last
night from Alabama, while another
company came from Mississippi.
Other companies are expected to
day and to-morrow, and before the
party leaders here will permit their
Returning Board to commence its
labors, there will be between fifteen
hundred and two thousand troops
here. With that formidable array of
bayonets they expect to secure
“moral suasion” sufficient to over
awe the people of the State, aud pre
vent them. in fact, from even offering
a protest to the proceedings of the
Returning Board.
These facts are generally known to
the North bv this time; hence the
expected arrival here of numerous
delegations of Conservatives from
the various Northern cities and
towns, and once here they can see
for themselves the manner in which
the Radical leaders hero have
trampled under their feet, every doc
trine of law or justice, which our
'peoplo only desire and now demand.

New York Tribune, ltep.
Tho extreme doubt iu which tho re
turns receivod yesterday left tho re
sult of the Presidential election, has
made the counting of the electoral
vote in February next likely to be an
event of very great interest und im
portance. On more than one occa
sion the defects of the machinery for
determining which of two or more
candidates has been legally elected
to the Presidency have been strik
ingly shown, and attempts have been
made to remedy them; but while
none of these efforts havo met with
success, it has also been fortunate
that on no occasion which has ever
arisen on has the actual result been
affected by the vote- of any State
which forwarded its vote and the
validity of whose returns has been
questioned. Now it seems possible
such a contingency may arise.
No provision has ever been made
for settling a dispute of this kind.
Section 1, article 11, of tho constitu
tion directs that “each State shall
appoint, in such manner as tho Leg
islature thereof may direct, a num
ber of electors equal to the whole
number of Senators and Representa
tives to which the State may ba enti
tled in the Congress; but no Senator
or; Representative, or person holding
an office of trust or profit under the
United States, shall be appointed an
elector.”
The twelfth amendment, of the con
stitution provides that the electors
“meet in their respective States, and
voto by ballot, for President and Vice
President, one of whom shall not be
an inhabitant, of the same State with
themselves. * * * And they shall
make distinet lists of all persons
voted for as President, and of all per
sons voted for as Vice President, and
of the number of votes for each;
which lists they shall sign and certi
fy, and transmit sealed to the seat of
t he Government of the United States,
directed to the President of the Sen
ate. The President of the Senate
shall, in the presence of the Senate
and House of Representatives, open
all the certificates, and the votes
shall then be counted. The person
having the greatest number of votes
for President shall be the President,
if such number be a majority of the
whole number of electors appoint
ed.” ate.
By acts of 1792 and 1804, as adopted
in the Revised Statutes of the United
States, tho following regulations are
made:
Sec. 135. The Electors for each State
shall meet and give their votes upon the
first Wednesday in December in the year
In which they are appointed, at such
place, in each State, as tfii) Legislature of
such State shall direct.
See. 130. Tt shall be the duty of tho
Executive of each State to cause three
lists of the names of the Electors of such
State to ho made aud certified, and to bo
delivered to tho Electors on or before the
day on which they arc required, by tho
proceeding section, to meet.
Sec. 137. The Electors shall vote for
President and Vice-President respective
ly, in the manner directed by tho consti
tution.
Sec. 138. The Electors shall make and
sign three certificates of all the votes
given by them, each of which certificates
shall contain two distinct lists, one of the
votes for President, and the other of the
votes for Vice-President, and shall annex
to each of the certificates one of the lists
of tho Electors which shall have been fur
nished to them by direction of tho execu
tive of the State.
Sec, 139. The Electors shall seal up the
certificates so made by them, and certify
upon each that the lists of all the votes
of such State given for President and of
all tho votes given for Vice-President, are
contained therein.
Sec. 140. The Electors shall dispose of
the certificates thus made by them in the
following manner:
1. They shall, by writing under their
hands, or under the hands of a majority
of them, appoint a person to take charge
of and deliver to tho President of tho Sen
ate, at the seat of Government, before I lie
the first Wednesday in January then next
ensuing, one of the certificates.
2. They shall forthwith forward by tho
postoffleo to the President of the Senate,
at tho seat of Government, one other of
the certificates.
3. They shall forthwith cause the other
of the certificates to bo delivered to the
Judge of that district in which tbe Elec
tors shall assemble.
Sec. 142. Congress shall bo in session on
the second Wednesday in February suc
ceeding cverv meeting of tho Electors,
and tho certificates, or so many of them
as have been received, shall then be open
ed, Iho votes counted, and the persons to
fill tho offices of President and Vice-Presi
dent ascertained and declared, agreeablo
to the constitution.
On several occasions prior to 1869,
objections had been made to receiv
ing the votes of certain States, on ac
count of alleged irregularities, but no
such vote was ever formally rejected.
In 1864 a resolution was adopted by
Congress excluding the electoral
votes of States then in rebellion, but
as no votes were received from any of
them, none were rejected. A prece
dent was, however, set for the rejec
tion of the vote of a State by a joint
resolution concurred in by both
houses of Congress.
When the question arose during
the first half of the century touching
the acceptance or rejection of tho
vote of States, the returns from which
were irregular, long debates some
times arose which seriously inter
fered with t he prompt announcement
of the result. To shut off such a de
bate, the twenty-second joint rule of
the two houses was adopted in 1805,
and re-adopted by each succeeding
Congress except the present. The
following is the text of the rule:
“If upon the reading of any such certh
cato by tiie tellers any question shall arise
In regard to the counting of tho votes
therm certified, tho same having been sta
ted by tho presiiling officer, tho tenant shall
thereupon withdraw, and said question
shall be submitted to that body for its de
ep Ion; and the speaker of the house shall
in like manner submit tho said question to
the house for a decision, and no question
shall bedeck!od affirmatively,and no votes
objected to shall be counted except by the
concurrent votes of the two houses, which
being obtained, the two houses shall re-as
sernblo, and the presiding officer shal i then
announce the decision or the question sub
mitted ; and upon such question there
shall be no debate in either house, and any
other question to this object ■ for which
the two houses are assembled may be sub
mitted and determined In like manner,
In 1873 the Electoral votes were re
jected from several Slates under this
rule, but its operation was so unsat
isfactory that the sentiment nt the
time was almost, Unanimous, not only
for its repeal, but also for an entire
change in the mode of electing Pres
ident, It was repealed at the last
session of Congress by a failure of tho
Senate to adopt it.
For this hasty review it appears (1)
that tho president of the Senate has
never assumed to determine any
question as to the validity of the vote
received from any State, but that
when such questions have arisen,
they have invariably boon referred
to the two houses of Congress for
their decision.
2. That neither house of Congress
by itself has ever claimed tho right
to reject tho vote of any State, or to
determine, in case two sets of returns
from a single State appear, which of
them shall bo counted, except by au
thority of the twenty-second joint
rnle, which no longer exists.
3. That while neither tho Constitu
tion nor tho laws of tho United States
expressly provide the means of de
termining controversies that may
arise in regard to tho counting of the
electoral vote of any State, that pow
er has been exercised by the conCUT
rent action of tho two houses of Con
gress.
THE COUNT IN KLORIHA.
WHAT A MAN WHO HAS “BEEN THEBE”
KNOWS ABOUT IT.
Cinciunati Enquirer.]
One of our reporters met a prudent
and trustworthy gentleman yester
day afternoon, when the following
conversation took place:
Reporter—l suppose you begin to
feel that the Presidential muddle is
clearing up since the arrial of the
steamboat at Palatka ?
A. B.—Well, lam inclined to the
opinion that no matter how Florida
votes, the State , will be counted for
Hayes.
Reporter—What! do you think
fraud will be attempted ?
A, B.—Well, I will tell you what I
have just heard. Another gentleman
and myself were standing talking in
the Grand Hotel office, a little while
ago, commenting on the dispatch
from Florida, when a gentleman in
terrupted us by saying that he could
relieve all our anxiety about Florida.
He then stated that he was United
States Commissioner of Customs in
Florida, and that ho had just
arrived from that State, and that
he would bet SI,OOO to SSO that
the State would be counted for
Hayes. He went on to say that
he knew all the members of the
Returning Board personally, aud that
if the vote of Florida was needed for
Hayes it would bo certainly forth
coming. He said the matter had
been arranged before the election,
with the understanding thut the
present contingency might arise.
Several strong Democratic counties
had been spotted, and irregularities
in the election machinery provided
for in advance, such as having the
Republican clerk to resign when it
was too late for any one else to re
ceive a regular commission, etc.
When questioned about, the actual
voto of the State, he said he did not
doubt it had gone Democratic, but it
would surely be counted for Hayes.
Ho said most, if not all, the young
tnen of the State voted this time the
Democratic ticket.
Reporter—Did you learn the Com
missioner’s name V
A. B.—l did. He is certainly well
acquainted with Florida and the peo
ple there, as I am well acquainted
with the people myself.
A Lost Race.
One of the most remarkable races that
ever inhabited the earth is now extinct
They were known as the Gaunches, and
wero tho aborigines of tho Canary Islands
In the sixteenth century pestilence
slavery and the cruelty of tho Spaniards
succeeded in totally exterminating them.
They are described as having been gigan
tic in stature, but of a singularly mild and
gentle nature. Their food consisted of
barley, wheat and goats’ milk, and their
agriculture was of the rudest kind. They
had a religion which taught them of a
future state of rewards and punishments
after death, and of good and evil spirits-
They regarded tho volcano of Teneriilo as
a place of punishment for tho bad. The
bodies of their dead wore carefully em
balmed and deposited in the catacombs-
Their marriage rites wero very solemn
and before engaging in them they were
fattened on.milk.— New Haven Register.
Tony Pastor Gorrotoil.
On Monday night about 11 o'clock, while
Tony Pastor was standing on Broadway-
New York, near his theatre,* he was ap
proached by a man named James Mc-
Guire, who, after making some trivial re
mark about tho weather, seized him by
tho throat and struck him violently on
tho breast, and catching at ids watch
chain succeeded in tearing It from ids
vest. Tony struggled hard with the man,
but he succeeded in making his escape
He was closely pursued and captured
near Fourteenth street. Attached to the
chain was a locket set with diamonds
valued at SSOO.
Every man from the South who lias
been to New York in the recent years, re
call Tony Pastor as the owner of an
opera house bearing his name, and sup
porting a Sort of variety show. Tony
himself is an actor.
