Me (MUM tMM( (• • TANARUS M BUWM* 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. - ♦ u 1 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." —ln the Federal Court at Atlanta, on Saturday, X. B. Binyon was convicted of embezzlement from the United States mail; and Robert Johnson, who had been convicted of embezzling a package from the Atlanta postofflce, was sentenced to two years' imprisonment in the Albany (N. Y.) penitentiary. Joseph H. Craig, letter carrier, convicted of embezzlement, was sentenced to 18 months Imprisonment In the penitentiary at Albany, N. Y. CONOENMEH CIKOMIIA NEW* - Mr.J. M. Stewart’s steam grist mill, near Blakely, was consumed by fire on Monday night last. —The Vindicator reports the death in Merlwethor oounty of Isaac McOehee, a negro, aged about 120 years. —The Chronicle learns that arrange ments are being perfected by some gentle men at Augusta to run a large ground pea farm in Burke oounty next year. The Marietta Journal prints returns from all tho counties in the Seventh Dis trict except Haralson. Tho majorities for Felton foot up 8,967 and for Dabney 1,526, making Felton’s majority In tho dis trict 2,441. —Mr John Bruner, of West Point, was shot on Tuesday night last, the ball lodg ing in his lungs. He alleges that the wound was given by a young man named Charles Pressly. Mr. Brunor was doing well at latest advices. —The Augusta Constitutionalist says that Blackshear will be applying for it custom house pretty soon. She has just shipped to Savannah five bundles of cow hides, thirteen coon skins, three goat skins, one deer skin, and thirty-one pounds of beeswax. —A negro girl, about twelve years oj age was tried in Bibb Superior Court, last Week, for cruel and inhuman treatment of a negro child. She would have killed it but for the relief afforded by some gentle men. She was convicted and sentenced to six months imprisonment. —A special from Albany, |Ga., 10th, to the Augusta Chronicle reports that Mr. Taylor, Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Alabama, who is visiting at East Albany, while riding with his wife, yesterday was thrown from the carriage and severely injured. Mrs. Taylor is also Injured. —We learn from tho Oglethorpe Echo that tho gin house of Mr. Joseph H. Echols, In that county, together with nineteen bales of cotton, wero burned last Friday. Also that the residence of Mr. E. P. Edwards, of Elberton, together with all the furniture and contents, w6ht the same way on Tuesday. —Upson county nominated candidates for oounty offleors last Friday with the following result: Ordinary, A. Worrell, Clerk, H. T. Jennings; Sheriff, J. P. Blas sengame; Tax Receiver, A. E. Singleton; Collector A. Lewis; Treasurer John Gib son. The present Ordinary, Mr. Cobb, has held tho office thirty-three years. —The Thomaston Herald learns that United States Marshals were sent to For syth to take charge of the polls. The cit izens not considering It their duty or priv ilege, under the law, resisted the move. The miserable fellows then got on a freight train and started for Atlanta. They will now have a terrible story to tell about their being driven off. —Tho Hartwell Sun narrates the follow ing serious catastrophe: Maj. Shannon, Marshal of Elberton,hearing a shot which was fired at a “fowl-lifter,” immediately ran to tho scene to see what was the diffi culty, and while conversing with some gentlemen suddenly reeled and fell. He was taken to his houso and died in about five hours. It Is supposed that ho was stricken with apoplexy, caused by undue excitement. Ho loavos a large family and a host of friends to mourn his loss. 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. Alabama 8 Arkansas 3 1 California 1 3 Colorado 1 Connecticut 3 1 Delaware 1 Florida 1 l Georgia 9 Illinois 7 12 Indiana 4 9 lowa 9 Kansas —3 Kentucky 10 Louisiana 4 2 Maine 6 Maryland 6 Massachusetts 2 9 Michigan 1 8 Minnesota —3 Mississippi 6 Missouri 10 3 Nebraska l New Hampshire 2 1 New Jersey 4 3 New York 13 20 North Carolina 7 1 Ohio 8 12 Oregon l Pennsylvania 9 18 Rhode Island 2 South Carolina 2 3 Tennessee 8 8 Texas 6 Vermont —3 Virginia 8 West Virginia 3 Wisconsin 3 5 Total 159 143 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.
