Thi Louisiana Legislature, accord
ing to the actual returns, will stand:
Senate- Democrats 21, Radicals 15.
House -Democrats 69, Radicals 51;
giving the Democrats 24 majority on
joint ballot, and securing two United
States Senators.
Before the Presidential election the
Radicals tried to frighten the people
of the North with the raw head and
bloody bones of a "united South” for
Tllden. But now they aro sending
the army of tho United States to two
or three places in the South to jrrevent
the rotes of a solid South being coun
ted for Tllden. In tho North they
profited by the spootre of a solid South,
and now they resort to unconstitu
tional and revolutionary means to
prevent its realization.
The work on the great East river
suspension bridge at New York is to
be prosecuted through the winter,
except when the gales are too strong
to make it unsafe, and it is hoped that
by spring the work will be ready for
the main cables thatgire to suspend
the structure. A footbridge wire-rope
was raised and anchored on the 3d;
It is 3,700 feet and 2J inches in diam
eter. Ail the ropes and cables thus
far thrown across are only prepar
ations for the suspension of the great
cables in the spring.

The Pofulaii Votk.—The New York
Tribune gives the estimated majori
ties, excluding the disputed States of
Louisiana;and South Carolina, and
leaving out of the Democratic count
the majority in North Carolina, which
is about 18,000. The Tribune's esti
mates give Tilden’s majorities in
States he has carried, leaving out
Nortli Carolina, South Carolina and
Florida, and glving.Oregon to Hayes,
at 487,000; Republican majorities in
States that Hayes has carried at 268,-
700—excess of Democratic over Re
publican popular majorities, 218,300.
Some changes will have to be made
in the figures on both sides; they will
not, however, materially alter the
large Democratic excess of popular
majorities.
Db. D. Waiuien Bbickell, of New
Orleans publishes In the Democrat
a statement that when he first went
.tothe polls to vote permission was
refused him, on the ground that his
name was not on the registry used;
he presented his certificate of regis
tration, and was still refused,
but was told that he could
see one Pat Creagh. He final
ly found the “office" of Pat Creagh,
who referred to a written registry
and found his name there. Creagh
then wrote this note to the mana
gers: *‘Dr. Brickell’s name is not
erased from either of my books.
Allow him to vote." On this permit
he voted. The [circumstance shows
how arbitrarily Kellogg’s managers
of the election “bossed” the voting
in that oity and no doubt throughout
the State,
IS HE ENTITLED TO PttAISKT
The New York Herald and Graphic
highly applaud Gen. Grant for the
empty words used by him in one of
his dispatches ordering troops to
Tallahassee and New Orleans. The
Graphic also sustaines and commends
the aot of ordering troops to those
localities.
To say the least of it, we regard
these commendations as premature.
We have not yet seen what the troops
are expected to do or to support, and
we have unfortunately too much rea
son to believe that Gen. Grant was
seeking by fair words and deceptive
professions to cloak a scheme of us
urpation and fraud.
In the first place, how could the
presence of troops secure a fair count
of the vote ? No one believes that if
the votes are counted as cast there
will be any trouble In either Florida
or Louisiana, and Republican offi
cials have the counting of them in
both States. But it is apprehended
that their partisan returning boards
may refuse to count some of
the votes, and it is too plain
to admit of doubt that the troopß
are sent there to sustain them
in this course. The troops cannot
enforce, and are not expected to en
force, a fair count of the votes, but
they are sent to support any count,
fair or unfair, which the Republican
officials may make. Their secret in
structions are to this effect beyond
any doubt. It is moreover obvious
that these officials are expected to
make such decisions as the people of
Louisiana and Florida will not ac
cept as fair and honest, and it is
thought.that they will need Federal
military support in it, which they
would not need if they acted other
wise.
Again—the partisan character of
the civilians whom Qen. Grant has
requested to go to New Orleans is not
consistent with his profession of a
wish for a fair count. One would
suppose that a President of the
TJnited States, in theselection of men
for such a service, would show the
utmost Impartiality between the two
parties. But Gen. Grant constitutes
himself an arbitrator on the side of
Hayes by appointing all Republicans
and supporters of Hayes to go to New
Orleans, and some of them the most
uncompromising and unscrupulous
Republican leaders in the country.
These selections, as well as the whole
movement, are directly at variance
with the professions praised.
—ln consequence of the suffering condi
tion of the people of Brunswick, Governor
Smith has ordered the tax collector to
suspend the collection of the State Ufx for
1876.
COUNTINS THE TOTE.
Both Senators Morton and Shor
man have written letters to explain
the action of the two houses of Con
gress on the22d joint rule, which
undertook to regulate the mode of
counting the Electoral votes for Pres
ident and Vice President. They both
agree that the 22d joint rule is no
longer, In foroe, though they reach
this conclusion by somewhat differ
ent processes of reasoning. Morton
says that one Congress cannot make
such rules binding upon a succeeding
Congress, and as the present Con
gress has not for Itself adopted the
joint rules, they are not In force.
This view would leave the present
Congress without any joint rules.
Sherman contends that the Senate
receded from the joint rules by in
forming the House that it did not
consider them in force, and he main
tains the right of either house to re
cede from any jointlrule adopted by
a previous Congress.
Morton argues to throw the blame
of not adopting any rule on the sub
ject on the Democratic House. He
says that he considered the rule, per
mitting either Houso to throw out
the Electoral vote of a State, as
"grossly unconstitutional and dan
gerous," and he introduced a
bill providing that the Senate and
House by concurrent action might
throw out a vote, and this bill was
passed by the Senate, but not acted
on by the House. It does not require
much reasoning to perceive why the
Houso did not pass Morton’sbill, and
why only two Democrats voted for it
in the Senate, and one of them after
wards moved to reconsider. The rea
son was that Morton’s bill did not
cure the unconstitutionality of which
he complained. If Congress has any
constitutional power over the subject
at all, it has just as much right to
permit one house to reject an Elector
al vote as to permit it to bo done by
both concurrently. Does the con
stitution vest this power in Congress,
either in one branch or both collect
ively? That’s the question. If it
has power over the subject at all, it
can delegate the power as well to one
tribunal as another. Is not that a
plain proposition? If so, the reason
why Morton’s bill failed is plain.
It is evident that both Morton’s
and Sherman’s letters, written just
before the election, had ia contem
plation the contingency of a squabble
over the Eleotoral votes of some
States, and that the design of their
letters was to deny the right of the
Democratic Houso to object to any
Electoral vote which the Republican
President of the Senate might pro
pose to “count.”
THE VOTE OF foiIMIAIU.
The New Orleans Bulletin of Sun
day makes a computation of the
vote of the State. [The Bulletin, we
will here remark, calls itself “non
partisan and independent,” and it
has made such unfavorable reports
about the vote of Louisiana as to
alarm Democrats at a distance,
who thought it a Democratic paper.
In this issue it announces its suspen
sion, saying that "there is no voca
tion in New Orleans for a non-parti
san paper.”] But to the calculation
of the Bulletin: It assumes that the
Returning Board will throw out the
votes of the two Felicianas, East
Baton Rouge, Ouachita and More
house, for reasons which it does not
give, but which we comprehend so
far as some of them are concerned.
The Radical State officials purposely
refused to permit a registration to be
regularly made and an eleotion held in
strict accordance with law in East Fe
lioiana and one or two other parishes
known to be strongly Democratic,
with a view of disfranchising them,
and their elections had to be held
with some trifling irregularities. Ex
cluding tho votes of these strongly
Democratic parishes, the Bulletin
figures out a majority for the Demo
crats of 1142 in the balance of the
State, and says that making further
allowance for some corrections of
first returns, Insisted on by the Re
publicans, the Democratic majority,
will still be 826.
We notice this calculation of the
Bulletin chiefly to show our readers
what parishes the Radical Returning
Board is expected by the Republicans
to throw out; and on what grounds
as far as wo understand them. It
has been evident to us for several
days that the Bulletin was not acting
in unison with the Democracy of
New Orleans, and the terms in which
it announces its suspension convince
us that it had “broken” with the par
ty-
Tho Democrat of the same date
gives a table of the votes, including
those of the Felicianas, East Baton
Rouge, Morehouse and Ouachita,
which makes Tilden’s majority in the
whole State 7,864, The following are
the reports from the disputed coun
ties :
TUden Hajrea
But Feliciana 1743 S
West Feliciana 1348 788
Morehouse.... , 606 maj;
Ouachita 1869 781
E. Baton Rouge 635 maj:
6991 1667
Democratic majority in these par
ishes 4,423. Democratic majority
without these parishes 3,440.
The Democrat says: “All these ro
turns are the official figures, except
in Cameron, Jefferson, Iberville,
Madison, Plaquemines, Pointe Cou
pee, St. James aud St. Landry. The
returns from these parishes are In
complete, several polls being yet un
counted. The figures, however, are
those estimated and are generally
admitted by both parties to be very
nearly correct."

The Forty-Fifth Congress.
From the Nashville American, 12th.
The present House stands Demo
crats 182, Republicans 105, Independ
ents 5, therefore the Democratic ma
jority is 72. In order to reverse it
the Republicans must gain 37 mem
bers. There has been desperate
countings going on in all the news
papers, and the count varies very
widely. Republican papers claim
that the House is theirs or within
2 or 3 votes of it. The Cincinnati
Commercial of the 10th gave the
Democratic majority at 2. A Wash
ington dispatch to the Commercial of
the 10th gives the Republicans one
majority, with two doubtful ;in Cali
fornia and one in Illinois.
An estimate from Columbus, Ohio,
telegraphed to the Enquirer of the
11th, gives the Forty-fifth Congress
157 Democrats and 136 Republicans—
Democratic majority 21. The Enqui
rer gives an estimate which we think
nearer the exaot figure: Democrats
150, Republicans 143. This gives the
Democrats 7 majority, and accords
exactly with our estimate of the 9th
as to the majority, while it differs in
detail.
We give the list of States, with
their Congressional delegations in
numbers, as we believe they now
stand, with a probability that we yet
have one each to be transferred from
the Republican to the Democratic
column in Arkansas, Oaliiornia, Illi
nois, Louisiana, Missouri and South
Carolina. The count is as follows:
Dem. Rep.

Millions for Florida’s Vote.— I The
Chronicle ami Sentinel has the follow
ing: “The Republicans pretend to
be hopeful of Florida, and in order to
secure the vote of that State they
have offered large sums of money,
It is ascertained from reliable sources
that the Republican party managers
have offered millions for the electoral
vote of Florida. This information
was telegraphed here yesterday from
a large cotton house in New York,
and steps were immediately taken to
prevent the frauds being perpetrated.
Hon. Geo. T. Barnes, the member of
the National Executive Committee
from Georgia, promptly telegraphed
prominent Democrats In Florida of
the infamous scheme to manipulate
the electoral vote of that State and
secure it for the Republiban can
didates. We are confident from the
precautions taken, that the fraud
cannot be perpetrated, if Florida is,
as we confidently believe, honestly
Democratic.
