LARGEST CIRpiTLATION
Ik tkK rmnllci Adliurut to ami Trading
The Cincinnati Enquirer of Tues
day ends every odltorlal, no matter
on wbat subject, with the sentence,
“Gls* u* a fair oount.”
It Is stated that a number of the
Northern Democrats seftt to New
Orleans in behalf of Hayes have al
ready decided that the acts of the
Returning Board aro beyond the
jurisdiction of the courts or the reach
of Congress.
A special from Charleston to the
New Orleans Democrat says that an
error in writing the name of one or
the Hayes Electors, Marcy, of South
Oaroliha, givos Tllden one vote from
that State la any cyfnt. We dp not
make any strong calculations upon
reports of this kind, because wo think
that the fair intent of tbo popular
vote ought to and will decide such
questions as that.
The Legislatures of Temiessee,
Louisiana and West Virginia, re
cently chosen, will each elect two
United States Senators, aDd the Dem
ocrfttsJiav,aear|ifU all of ,them. But
forj the successful Radical trick of
admitting Colorado at theiastsession
of Congress, the United Stat es Senate
would be exceedingly close after the
4th of March next, and thero could
now he no dispute about Tllden’s
election.
A special from New York to the
Cincinnati Enquirer says: “Tllden
is in good health, and has rebuked
nearly the wliolo of the nowspaper
press in New J'orjft-fefr lying inter
views wiU*,|jsirn. gFHeijuiy&bo has
given roportars hie uunfldeiiifc freely,
hut they go off and make him appear
to puff their several paiiers. He says
he Is elected, and does not think any
thing above the Returning Boards
will try to cheat him, except In polit
ical circles.”

Zack’s Oaths. —We have all heard
of the iuvptei'ato swearer win... when
hisputtipk;lnftn!i §nU6mt of bis,
cart down the hlffrHeolnWd trPi ll r
a single oath, declaring that ho
“couldn’t do justice to the subject.”
One would think that the present
political condition of this country
was one to which a hard swearer
couldn’t do justice, and would not
make the attempt. But from all ac
counts—and there are many—Old
Zaek Chandler is not a man to give
it up so. He evidently thinks that
he can swear and curse to some ef
fect in the present emergency, and
he isldoing his best. Among the many
reported Instances of his profanity in
talking of the situation, it is said
that he declared in answer to
Gen. Farnesworth’s assertion that
Tllden had certainly carried Louis
iana, “It is ad and lie! Wo don’t
propose to surrender,” There is
some method, as well as pure cussed
ness, in Old Zaoh’s profanity. Be
tween his oaths ho interjects expres
sions showing ibat his party do not
intend to give up, no matter how the
people have voted. His position as
manager-in-chief of the Radical party
in this contest, and as a member of
Gen. Grant’s Cabinet at the samo
tiro,* give* aignillcanco and impor
to hts oaths. He is the
linf&tnat connects trie party leaders
who are mauaging for Hayes with
the Administration, and when he
“swears terribly” to give emphasis
to his political utterances, he is
swearing for the whole party with the
Administration to back it.

Ultt CMlrulattons aa to tltc IteMilt of
the Election lit that Stole.
The latest calculations as to the re
sult of the vote in the State of New
York for Congressmen and members
of Assembly indicate that the Demo
crats have secured 16 Assemblvmen
and the Republicans 5-2, outside of
New YOrlt and ’Kings Aunties. The
Democrats have secured in Now
York and Kings ‘22, and tko Republi
cans 8, this would give the Democrats
two voteß in the Assembly more than
is necessary to pass a bill; in other
words, a total of 07 votes to 61 of the
Republicans. It is possible this
standing of the two parties in the
lower house of the Legislature may
be somewhat changed, as there are
two districts where the voto has not
yet been fnllv obtained. They now
appear to be Democratic, but oven if
they should be Anally shown to have
elected Republicans, the Democrats
will have, of course, 05 votes, the
constitutional majority.
In the districts outside of New York
and Kings the Democrats have elect
ed for Congress B—Republicans 15.
The Democrats in New York having
elected CCongressmenand 1 in Kings,
while the Republicans have secured
1 In Kings and 1 in New York City,
the Congressional delegation will
stand—l 7 Republicans and 10 Demo
crats.
Tilden’a majority in tho State will,
approximately, be 35,000 when a few
missing districts are heard from.
Some of the leading Democrats in
the interior claim that it will reach
as high as 38,000 when nil the returns
have come to hand.
LASER.
From the Hew York World, 14th.)
The later and more full returns
from the interior and western coun
ties of this State make the Demo
cratic majority about 33,000. The
boards of canvassers in the several
counties meet to-day. The official
count is as likely to increase as to
reduce these figures. It is probable
that the actual majority of Tiiden
will be between 30,000 and
38,000. It may be above the latter
figures, but not probable. Rob
inson’s majority will probably ex
ceed that of Tiiden’s.
It seems to be pretty well settled
that the Assembly will be Republi
can. The Democrats have lost sev
eral members by less than seTenty
flve votes.

THK POLITICAL kITUATISN.
We see nothing in our early dis
patches of yesterday that alters the
situation In tho loast. The assur
ances of Democratic majorities In
Louisiana gnd Florida have been re
pented Ikg often that iwo are fully
satiafld on t hat. point. What we
fflfw await with anxiety Is the count
ing or manipulating of the vote by
tho canvassing boards, and we sup
pose that wo must wait several days
yet for that. We regret to have to
add that wo do not us yet see the
slightest indication that thoso boards
will recede from their first purpose
to cut down tho vote so ns to reverse
the majorities in their respective
.States.
There is some fair talk by Stough
ton, Sheridan and others, reported.
But It is the thinnest kind of deceit.
Why were such men sent to New
Orleans ut all? If an honest count
of all tho votes of tho peoplo Is what
they arc after, why send men who
were Instrumental In effecting
or upholding a prior dlslumest
count In that State, by which tho
State government elected by the peo
pio was kept out of power and the
rule of tho defeated party continued ?
That such men, with the army to
back them, w'ure sent to New Orleans
for tho purpose of aiding in tho re
versal of the decision of tho people,
instead of maintaining peace, Is too
plain for doubt. There was no dis
order or tlirout of disorder before
they were sent—it cannot lie pretend
ed that thero was. But it was known
ut Washington that the Slate author
ities of Louisiana and Florida in
tended t o make an occasion for excite
ment and perhaps resistance, and the
troops were sent to support them
when tho emergency arose. It
was no such emergency as that
contemplated by tho constitu
tion—au invasion or insurrection
on the occurrence of which tho Leg
islature or Governor might call on
the l’rosiclont for assistance. But
there was apa’iu peheme to be car
ried out, and all the evidence goes to
prove that there was a perfect, under
standing between tho Federal arid
State authorities ns to the measures
and movements to be taken to cousum
mate it,. Tne parties engaged niuy
talk as they please about; a fair count
and respecting tho wishes of the peo
ple, and all that, but thero is as yet
po indication whatever that they
mean to abandon their original de
design to give the Electoral votes of
Louisiana and Florida to Hayes and
Wheeler, whether they obtained a
majority of tho popular vote or not.

New VerA lierald.)
In hia dispatches to < Dm. Sherman,
President Grant plainly indicated
the Htato of Louisiana oa the llnal
battle ground for tho presidency. It
is particularly unfortunate for the
Republican party that its success de
pends on such a Htato. It is espe
cially noteworthy that its vote will
be absolutely necessary to elect Wm.
A. Wheeler, of New York, Vice Pres
ident, who gave his name to the cel
ebrated compromise by which the
infamously corrupt action of the
Louisiana Returning Board In the
elections of 1874 was reversed with
the approval of the Republican Con
gress, Mr. Wheeler’s record in this
matter makes it difficult to believe
that, he would aocept. a victory at the
hands of this Board if thero was any
fair doubt of the integrity of its
work. Hays President Grant, “No
man, worthy of tho office of Presi
dent, should be willing to hold it if
counted !n or placed thoro by fraud.”
This appeals with equal force to the
candidate who at tho death or dis
ability of the President must take
his place. Mr. Wheeler, therefore,
Is particularly interested in the re
sult. He has placed his knowledge
and his condemnation of the fraud
ulent) uad corruption of the Louisi
ana Returning Board so markedly
on record that, he is bound now to
second the desire of President, Grant
and of all good citizens to have the
operations of this Board so scrutin
ized that the result shall bo above
suspicion.
When tho select House committee
on Louisiana affairs, of which Mr.
Wheeler is a member, returned to
Washington the Chairman presented
the following preamble and resolu
tion to the House, which adopted
them:
Whereas, both branches of tbo
Legislature of Louisiana have re
quested the select committee of the
House to investigate the circum
stances attending tho election and
returns thereof in that State for the
year 1874; and whereas, said commit
tee lias unanimously reported that
the Returning Board of that State,
in canvassing and compiling said re
turns and promulgating the results,
wrongfully applied an erroneous rulo
of law, by reasons whereof persons
were awarded seats in the House of
Representatives to which they were
nbt entitled, ami persons entitled to
seats were deprived of them:
Resolved, that it is recommended
to the House of Representatives m
Louisiana to take immediate steps
to remedy said injustice and to place
the persons rightfully entitled in
their seats.
With this resolution were presented
majority and minority reports. Mr.
Wheeler signed the latter which
offered the previous excesses of the
white Democrats as palliating, in a
measure, the Republican frauds.
But this minority report contained
the following pregnant passage,
which shows that tho present emer
gency was foreseen, ft now sounds
prophetic:
But the evil goes much further.
Upon the elections in Louisiana, as
in other States, depends tho right to
their seats of Senators and Repre
sentatives who are to aid in making
laws for tho whole country, and tho
choice of Presidential Electors, upon
whose vote may depend the title of
the offico of President of tho United
States himself. No party in the
United States will like to submit to a
result decided by the votes of Elec
tors chosen bu such means. Each
party will be likely to credit charges
of fraud and violence made against
ita own side. Thoro Ib, in our judg
ment, the greatest danger that these
elements may enter into the next na
tional election to so great an extent
that it may leave tho real expression
of the will of the people in doubt.
Hero tho danger of tho present sit
uation is boldly sketched out. Pres
ident Grant’s words appeal to the
candidates; the words we have quo
ted appreciate the danger to tho na
tional peace. This is a crisis of which
every honest man of influence before
the country should exert, it to the ut
most in the interest of fair play. We
call upon William A. Wheeler, on his
record, to come to the front, and do
his sharo of the work of finding an
issue to the crisis at onoo honorable
and peaceful.

Value of Confederate Money.—a
case was disposed of in the Circuit
Court yesterday, says the Little Rock
Herald, in which the so-called Con
federate money played quito an im
portant part. In November. 1862, E.
L. Compere borrowed $250 of tho Se
bastian county school fund, giving
his note thorofor, heaving ten per
cent, interest. The money received
was of Confederate issue, and at
that time passed current and for its
face throughout tho Slate. The pay
ment of the noto was postponed uu
til the end of the war, and then ten
dered in same class of wealth which
was received for it, which was of
oourso of no value. The case drag
ged along through tho intervening
years until yesterday, when, by con
sent, tho defendant settled the mat
ter by paying in United States cur
rency ten per cent, of the note, with
accrued interest.
