THE DAILY TIMES. JOHN H. MABTIX, - - - “***•*• ColumbuK. u “- THURBDAY ~ NOVEMBER ‘ LARGEST CIRCULATION In tkn A *(....< mo Trading t Owlwniim*. The Augusta Chronicle dwell says: It la easy to understand why the Louisiana Radicals have Invited Benjamin F. Butler to be present, at the counting of the votes. It is well known that he is hated more intense ly in New Orleans than in any other Southern city. It was thore that he issued his infamous order that United States soldiers should treat the ladies of the city os "women of the town plying their vocation.” Tho Radi cals hope that his presence there will occasion an outbreak from which they may gain some advantage. A special from New Orleans, 14th, to the Nashville American says that the Northern Democrats thero are firm in their determination to reach the bottom facts. It says that Tllden has undoubtedly carried the State, but adds: “Nevertheless, the general belief is that the Returning Board will give the vote to Hayes. That Board consists of Wells, a Federal office-holder, and Anderson, a candi date—both disqualified —and two negroes. If Wells and Anderson are ruled out, the two negroes have pow er to fill tho vacancies. One of the negroes is keeper of a bawdy-house, and the other an undertaker and gambler.” PICTORIAL. For a contest yet undecided, the late Presidential election has been very profusely illustrated with picto rial emblems of triumph. Every newspaper office that could furnish a crowing coqk. or a national flag, cr an American eagle, or a cut of Tilden and Hendricks, or Hayes and Wheel er as the case may be, bus sported them on the occasion; and those pa pers unfortunately left without such cuts in the great emergency have contented themselves with the phi losophy of the fox without a tail. A display of a little enthusiasm on such an occasion Is pardonable, and we hope not offensive to the public taste. But we do think that some of our cotemporaries have slightly overdone the thing. The Nashville American and the Montgomery Ad vertiser stretch their lines of roosters across every column of two pages; the Cincinnati Enquirer sports some very gamo looking birds, but fower in number; but the Atlanta Comitu tion forms a combination bf roosters, flags, eagles, &c., covering about half a page; and tho Mont gomery Journal (Radical) eclipses them all by filling a whole page with spread eagles, &c. “Young America” of the press is certainly on the rampage in its party glorification, and in the prolonged suspense it has had to subject its pictorial emblems to such hard service that they may well, at the close of the contest, be “like bruised arms, hung up for monuments” of tho closest and most exciting Presi dential election of our day.. (o>m:\NKii ui.ohuia new*. —The Times oatimates that $34,000 was bet In Atlanta on tho Presidential oloc tlon. —Tho residence of Mrs. Sabrina Phelps, near Ponfiekl, was destroyed by lire last week.

Yesterday a negro was carried there from Bryan’s Row. Atlanta Times, 13th: It is estimated that at least two-thirds of the Savannah refu gees who are in this city and adjacent towns will return to men lmines tms week, as the recent frosts have caused the physicians to declare it perfectly safe for them to return. —The Qmslitution prints the full returns from the seoond, fourth, fifth and seventh Congressional districts, whic show Smith's majority In the second to be 5,594, Harris' majority in the fourth 7,8 H; Candler’s in the fifth 9,333, and (Felton’s 2,545 in the seventh. —'The Oglethorpe Echo says: There is no doubt now about the ootlon crop of tide section being very short. In fact, it is nearly all gathered. It has never been our course to exagerate In our estimates of the crop, and on tho other hand we try not to make the estimate too small. —The Washington Gazette says that a number of negroes wero recently poisoned at a Sunday School oelebration and barbe cue which they had in the northern sec tion of Wilkes county, and three of them have since died, It thinks that strych nine fed to hogs to prevent their being stolen caused the poisoning. — 3. H. Lowe, chairman of tho county exooutive committee, notifies tho voters of Stewart county that there will be a nominating convention held in Lumpkin, on the first Tuesday in December next, at 10 o'clock a. m., for the purpose of nomi nating candidates for tho various county offices. Each militia district is entitled to seven delegates. The districts will hold primary meetings on Saturday previous to the nomination (December sth) to select delegates to the convention. THE POLITICAL SITUATION. i Our dispatches of yesterday report that the Radicals of both Louisiana and Florida now concede Democratic majorities in the votes cast In those States, but claim that they can have a sufficient number of Democratic votes throwi out to change the result. This is a showing of the cards which they hold concealed from the start, and on the strength ofwhloh they raised tho squabble about the votes of their States. They know as well three or four days ago, as they know now, that the Democrats had tho majority, but they wanted to get well under the protection of the Federal military before they avowed their purpose to thrpw out a portion of the Demo cratic vote. We caution our reuders not to ac cept these admissions of a Demo cratic majority as any proof that the trouble is over. It Is only the develop ment of a contingency contemplated from the start. It Is tho reaching of one the progressive crises which this controversy involves. It only proves that tho first dlscomilturo does not dotor tho Radicals, or change their purpose. They have not quailed be fore tho first reverse, but have only retired to their second line, where they will be supported by State au thority and Federal power. If there is any man who still be lieves that it was not from the start the Intention to fall back upon this position after a defeat before the peo ple—any mun who believes that the army of.the United States was sent to New Orleaus and Tallahassee in view of any other contingency than this—any man who believes that Kellogg and Stearns had not before the election, formed a conspiracy with officials ut Washington to count out Democratic votes and thus give Louisaua and Florida to Hayes—that man may still have hope that the re turning boards will act fairly and pronounce in favor of the Electors chosen by the people. But as we do not share in such credulity, we regard the situation as one still full of peril and uncertainty. THE IKELI4IIBI.K ELECTOR*. A day or two ago it was announced that one of the Hayes Electors in Vermont was disqualified because ho was a postmaster at the time of his election; and now we aro told that another Republican Elector in Oregon is in the samo fix; also that two or three of the Centennial offi cers have beep chosen Electors. The constitutional provision is that “no person holding an office of trust or profit under the United States shall bean Elector.” As this constitutional prohibition certainly applies to post masters, it is at least very question able whether any steps now taken can properly save the Electoral votes to Hayes. It is true that the Consti tution of the United States leaves to each State the mode of appointment of Its Eleotors, and that Vermont and other States have made provision by law for the filling of vacancies in the Electoral Colleges. But could a vnoancy be caused by the resignation of an ineligible Elector ? Would he have any position to resign if ho was not legally elected ? Common sense says no, and tho Radical party, in its Reconstruction legislation for the South, pronounced tho election of disqualified persons utterly void and tho votes cast for them as thrown away—giving the elec tion to the highest qualified candidate. Such a rule applied to the Vermont and Oregon postmas ters who have been chosen Electors would give Tilden one Elector from oaoh of those States, and at once set tle the dispute as to the Presidential election. But what was sauce for the Southern Democratic goose will not bo bold to be sauce for the North ern Radical gander in this case. The Radicals, as we infer from the resig nation of the Oregon postmaster, will tako the ground that the Eleotors chosen can yet qualify themselves by resigning their “offices of trust or profit under the United States.” They will hold that a man does not become an Elector until ho acts as such, or at least until his election is proclaim ed by the Governor of his State; therefore there were no votes thrown away for an ineligible candidate, and there need be no vacanoy la the Elec toral College. We believe that they have some precedents for this—not in tho case of Electors, but in tho cases of persons elected to State offices who had to resign other po sitions before they could quali fy. Wo think, however, that the spirit of tho Constitution will hrt violtthtovl k>y t-hio quaUtiocvtiou after election. Clearly tho ob ject of the constitutional prohibi bition was to prevent Federal office holders from takingpart in State eleo tionsand from bringing the patronage and influence of tho Federal Govern ment to bear in just such a manner as it was brought to bear in the late oonilict. The constitution did not in tend that post-masters should be can didates for tho position of Elector. It is certainly less harmful for them to vote as Electors than canvass as can didates for the position. Wo wonld, under ordinary circum stances, think it improper for any Presidontal candidate or his friends to claim hie election on the grouud of the legal disqualification of one or two of the Electors of his rival, if the latter had a majority. But the Rad ical party is the one which in this contest is striving to dofeat the choice of tho people, anti the Demo crats to give effect to the popular choice. They are justified, under the circumstances, in insisting on all their legal rights, and if Hayes has constitutionally lo3t two or more Electoral votes by reason of disqual ification, steps ought to be taken to have the question judicially deter mined. THE CRISIS. THE PIiOFLE WILL HE EQUAL TO THE EMERGENCY. FbUadelpkl* Time*. (lud.) lltli. We believe that Samuel J. Tilden is honestly and lawfully chosen Pres ident of the United States. His largo majority of the whole popular vote is admitted, but that can give him no rightful claim to the high office un less the Electoral College shall fairly elect him. If it shall, In faithful obedience to the laws, elect Buthor ford B. Hayes, thore are none who will refuse the moat cordial acquies cence; hut the country Is not in tem per to huve tho positive expression of the popular will overthrown in the Electoral College by such hands as have enthroned the Kelloggs and Spenoers and Pattersons of tho South. They may be submitted to in order to save the fountain of free government, but should they pour the deadly poison into a Presi dential contest and subvert the sol emn judgment of the Republic, they would at once plunge the noblest gov ernment of the earth into an ohy more hopeless and ten-fold more terrible than that, of Mexico. It is a truth that none should misun derstand, that if Samuel J. Tilden has been honestly chosen President of the United States, there will be no government to administer in this land, after the 4th of March next, un til ho administers it; and it would be but the feeblest Imitation of the rev olutionary pretenders of the tem pest-tossed South American mocker ies of civil authority, to attempt the Inauguration of Rutherford B. Hayes against the deliberate judgment of the people that his commission is tile creation of fraud. It is these pregnant truths which will unite the demand of upright men of all parties to protest against the ma nipulation of returns in Louisiana, South Carolina and Florida, and which will compel the Chandlers uud like political desperadoes to swing to the rear until the peril they have mfffily invoked has been averted by the patriotism of the whole people of tho country. Wo hope and believe that right will come.out triumphant in the end, not because there are not enough of leaders who would gladly overthrow it, but because the whole business interests of the country will strengthen the earnest aspirations of every loyal citizen that government of tho people, by the people and for the peoplo shall not perish from tho earth. The Kcturiilnw Hoard Prowraunite. From the N. O. Democrat, 14.) The Democrats and Conservatives have carried this State by a majority of 7,915 votes. The election was fair and peaoeable, and in no free State would the result be questioned for a moment. The desi>orate and unscru pulous men, however, who control the Radical party and hold the extra ordinary machinery of the Louisiana State government, do not intend that this result shall be accepted, and pro pose to reverse the decision through the medium of what they term a Re turning Board. Their plan is,through that board, to throw out the votes of the following parishes, which gavo majorities stated for Tilden and Hendricks: Majority for Tilden East Feliciana 1743 West Feliciana 465 Ouachita 1074 Morehouse 623 East Baton Rouge 660 Lincoln 755 Claiborne 1147 Union 1429 Do Koto 415 Total 6341 The grounds upon which it is pro posed to throw out tho votes of these parishes are not clearly stated, and we are left entirely to conjecture. The East Feliciana majority is to be annulled, we presume, because the Radicals, finding that the parish was going against them, refrained from voting with the purpose of swearing that they were prevented from doing so. The West Feliciana majority will be reversed beoause Mr. Thos. C. West, the Democratic candidate for Sheriff of tho parish, was foully mur dered by assassins hired by Radical leaders to do the job, and because a few nights before the election an at tempt was made to assassinate Gov. Wickllffe, Democratic candidate for elector, and Chas. Fischer, Esq,, a prominent lawyer and Demoorat in the same parish. Ouachita will be excluded from the oount be cause the colored voters, dis gusted with the Radical officials and desiring the restoration of honest and efficient government in their parish, voted tno Democratic ticket in large numbers and carried the parish against the rogues who have dominated it for years. Morehouse will be disfranchised if the villainous scheme can be carried out, because several leading Democrats were murdered during tho canvass, and the parish kept in turmoil by rowdy bands of Radical negroes, incited by the white men of their party. East Baton Rouge is to be disfranchised because too many colored people joined the Democratic party and voted for Nicholls and Wiltz. Lin coln will be thrown out, because it gave a majority for Tilden. Clai borne, because it has given an un pleasantly largo Democratic majori ty. Union is condemned, becauso it has nearly doubled its Democratic majority of 1874, and, finally, DeSoto, because it is a Democratic parish. Mu. Peter Cooper’s Views.— Mr. Peter Cooper was prostrated by a sudden attftek of his old complaint late Thursday night, but was better yesterday. Havinsr no hopo of his own election, Mr. Cooper is very anxious about tno result between Tilden and Hayes, and does not hesi tate to express his hopes that the former will be duly inaugurated President. Speaking of President Grant’s proclamation, Mr. Cooper said yesterday. “The election itself passed so quietly that I hoped the returns would be made without dis turbance. I supposed they had enough troops already In Florida and Louisiana to keep the peace and pro tect the Returning Boards. We have not heard of any riots yet, and I think tho sending of more troops would tend to exeito one.— N. Y. World, I‘ilh. Zack Chandler’s Threat.—Secreta ry Z. Chandler said, just before he left the city Thursday afternoon: “I’ve got one man already down South, and the Democrats will need a d—d fast train to get the inside track of him. I don’t propose to be euchred iu this matter, and Hayes has got to be the next President, whether he’s elected or not.” These were the words of the Republican Chairman as reported by General James McQuade, who, with several other gentlemen, overheard them when uttered.—W. Y. World. Compliment to an old Lady.—Sa leazo de Perada praising an old lady for her beauty, she answered that beautv was incompatible with her age. To which Salezzo replied: “We say as beautlfnl as an angel, and yet the angels are of all creatures, the most ancient.” Anxumaoexuents For City Sexton.
