Say They are only Strangers and Spectators. Sadden Spamistes AM Interfering With Southern State Right?. They Claim for the Returning Board Judicial and Ab solute Powers- THE WHOLE RADICAL PNOGRAMME FOR ELECTING HAYES REVEALED. New Obleanr, Nov. 16,—Reply of the Republieuns to tne communica tion from the Democrats, inviting a conference: New Orleans, Nov. 10 .—Gentlemen: The majority of the undersigned, to whom your note of the 14th was ad dressed, only arrived in this city yes terday evening. We have therefore been unable to reply until this morning, and can only regret that your communication should have been given to the press immediately upon its delivery and without the possibility of an answer accompany ing it. You remark that you are informed that we came at the request of the President to see that the boards of canvassers make a fair count of votes actually cast, and ask that we meet and confer in order that such influ ence as we possess may be exerted in behalf of such a canvass of the votes actually cast as by its fairness and impartiality shall command the respect and acquiescence of the American people of all parties. We join heartily with you in counsels of peace and the expression of an earn est desire for a perfectly honest and just declaration of the results of the recent election in Louisiana by its lawfully constituted authorities, and may add that we know of no reason to doubt that such a declaration will be made. But wo do not see the pro priety or utility of a conference on the base and subject to the limita tions you propose, for we have no such duty imposed on us, and as sug gested by the clause of your note first quoted, we are merely re quested to be witnesses of what shall occur in the can vass of the votes without power or large influence over the means by which, under the laws of Louisiana, the result is to deter mined. We cannot doubt that in this you, upon reflection, will concur with us. We are here as private citizens, with no official power. We therefore cannot supercede or modify any laws of the State, nor have we any right to control or influeuceany of its offi cers as to the manner in which they shall perform ministerial or judicial duties imposed upon them by its laws;and should we, being perfect strangers and without official func tions, attempt this, and we should be condemned by tho people of every state in the Union for an improper iullucnce with tho local administra tion. The following extract from the laws of [Louisiana show that the Canvassing Board is expressly requir ed in certain cases to exercise judi cial as well as ministerial functions: Section B—That in [such canvass and compilation the returning offi cers shall observe the following order: They shall compile first the statements from all polls or voting places at which there shall have been a fair, freo and peaceful regis tration and election. Whenever from any poll or voting place there shall be received the statement of any supervisor of registration or commissioner of election in form as required by section twenty-six of this act, on affidavit of three or more citizens, of any riot, tumult, acts of violence, intimidation, armed dis turbance, bribery or corrupt influ ence, which prevented or tended to prevent a fair, free and peaceable vote of all qualified electors entitled to vote at such polls or voting places, such returning officers shall not can vass, count or compile the state ments from such polls or voting place until the statements from ail other polls or voting places shall have been canvassed and compiled. The returning officers shall then proceed to investigate the statements of riot, tumult, acts of violence, intimidation, armed disturbance, bribery or cor rupt influence at any such poll or voting place, and if from the evidence of such statement they shall be such riot, tumult, acts oi violence, intimidation, armed disturbance, bribery or corrupt influence did not ma terially interfere with tho purity and free dom at such poll or voting place, or did not prevent a sufficient number of quali fied voters thereat from registering or vot ing to materially change the result of the election, then and not otherwise said re turning officers shall canvass and compile the vote oi such poll or voting place with those previously compiled; hut if the said returning officers shall not be fully satis fied thereof, it shall be their duty to ex amine further testimony in regard thereto, and to this end they shall have the power to send for persons and papers if after such examination the said returning offi cers shall be oonvinced that said riot, tu mult, acts of violence, intimidation, armed disturbance, bribery or influ ence did materially interfere with the purity and freedom of the elec tion at such poll or voting place, or did prevent a sufficient number of the qualified electors thereat from registering and voting to materially change the result of the election, then said returning officers shall not canvass or compile the statement of the votes of such poll or voting place, but shall exclude them from their returns: Provided, that any person interested in said election by reason of being a candidate for office should be allowed a hearing before said re turning officers, upon making appli cation within the time allowed for the forwarding of the returns of said election. HeDco, if there were any facts re quiring the judgment of the board upon the validity of any election or returning as affected by such frauds or violence, it would be a manifest interference with State rights and local self-government for persons like ourselves, without official rights, to attempt to influence or control Its judicial election. Had a correspond ing bond in the State of New York in 1868, been authorized to pass upon the fraudulent return of the votes of the city of New York that year, and a delegalfon of citizens of Louis iana, however respectable, attempt ed to influence its judicial action upon the facts presented to it under laws of that State,such attempt would COLUMBUS, GrA., FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 17, 1876. have been universally condemned. If the duties of tho canvassing board of Louisiana were merely min isterial or clerical, as.in tho case of any officer charged by law with the duty of verifying and declaring tho result of any election or investiga tion, with no discretion, as to when the. President of tho counts and declares the votes of the Elec tors of States in tho elec tion of President and Vice President under tho Constitution of the United States, a different case would lie pre sented. It is, in our judgment, vital to tho preservation|of constitutional liberty that tho habit of obedience to the forms of law should bo sedulously inculcated and cultivated, and that the resort to unconstitutional modes of redress for even actual grievances, should bo avoided and condemned as revolutionary, disorganizing, and tending to disorder and anarchy. To reduce the whole question, therefore, to the mere clerical duty of counting the votes actually cast, as proposed by you, in distinction lnm votes legally cast and re turned, irrespective of the question whether they are fraudulently or vio lently cast or otherwise vitiated, in volves a nulliflaction of the promis es of the laws of Louisiana, which have been adjudicated as valid by the Supremo court, and would be wholly justifiable here us well as in any other State of tho Union which had provided laws to protect the rights of votes and tho purity of the ballot. We cannot, therefore, concur in your proposition for a conference on that basis. Very respectfully, John Sherman, Stanleyl Matthews, J. A. Garfield, Wm. D. Kelly, •John’A. Kasson, E. W. Stoughton, C.

The llrst military train, with I<>,ooo, left St. Petersburg yesterday for Kis chenoiT. All the railway companies of Russia are ordered to place their railways at tho übsotute disposal of the Government. Lord Derby is on the point of ad dressing a protest to tho Powers against the mobilization of tho Rus sian army. This requires confirma tion, If true, the conference is use less. Everything, however, combines to discourage tthoso who hope for a peaceful issue. Freight traffic on railroads from the Polish frontier southward is stopped. Turkey is concentrating, leaving only a defensive line on tho Servian and Montenegrin border. Four English engineer officers uro em ployed by the Porte to superintend tho strengthening of tho Danubiau forts. The Danube flotilla is rein forced .

The returns are all in except from Brevard.” Here follow details by Congressional Dis tricts: First District, Democratic majorities in 18 counties 5,171; Re publican majorities in 4 counties 4,565. Second District, Democratic majority in 11 counties 2,791 ; Repub lican majority in 5 counties 2,359. Total Democratic majority in the State I,<>BB. Th-e disfiatoli eonoludes: ‘‘Thisin sures the election of the State and National ticket, Democratic Con gressmen from both Districts, and a Democratic majority in both Houses of the Legislature.” The Herald’s Tallahasseo dispatch says it is impossible that Drew’s ma jority can be cut below 800, or Til den’s below 400. The Florida Democrats Nucceafnlly At tacking tlie .Radical Hfojorltles. Special Dispatch to the Constitution.] Tallahassee, Nov. 15.— The Demo crats to-day, from some unexplained cause, changed their tactics and have opened an aggressive war upon the Republican majorities. They at tack the two largest majorities and hope to tbrow.them out. They will not only sustain their own figures, but will cut down the Republican. Joe Brown has bis throat tied up in a red bandana, wears the smile of vic tory, and, says he: “We will sustain the Democratic majorities or we will make the throwing of them out so ridiculous and outrageous that the civilized world will not stand it.” Several official returns in to-day all confirm our estimate of yesterday. Manton Marble and Daniel Mor gau, of New York, and other dis tinguished Northerners arrived to day. SOUTH CAROLINA. THE BOARD OF CANVASSERS'WILL AWAIT THE DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT. New Yoke, Nov. 16.—The Herald's dispatch from Columbia, S. C., says, after hearing various protests, the Board of Canvassers made no answer, but in reply to another protest against their character as having judicial functions, they adopted the following resolutions: Resolved, That the board will not act upon proposition until the question of its powers and duties be decided by the Supreme Court. The board then adjourned. OREGON. THE CASE OF THE POSTMASTER F.LF.CTOR TO GO TO THE COURT. San Francisco, Nov. 16.—The Sec retary of State of Oregon will count the vote and issue commission to postmaster Watts, unless restricted by the Supremo Court of the State.

In 1797 the Electoral Colleges cast 71 votes for John Adams and 68 for Thomas Jefferson, while in 1801 Jefferson received 73 votes and Burr 73, so that tho House, as the constitution then exist ed, had to decide the result, though Burr had been the Vice Presidential candidate with Jefferson. There has not since then been as close a count, but the House, where several candidates were voted for, has had to decide the contest, no one having had a majority in 1724, when Adams, Jackson, Ciay and Craw- I ford were voted for by the electors, and the House decided for John Quincy Ad ! ams.
