Catt. Peet, of Dawson, had a can
non oast at tho foundry in that place
when the news of Tilden’s election
was received; and the Newt says that
its report was distinctly heard in Al
bany on Tuesday night.
Pbetkxding unwillingness even to
offer counsel to the 'Returning Board
of Louisiana, Oen. Grunt’s commit
tee do Insidiously give them tho
worst advice, by asserting their right
and duty to throw out votes, and
holding out tho idea that thoro is no
power to revise their action. It looks
as if these Northern Kopublictius
were really sent to Mew Orleans to
strengthen the backbone of tho Re
turning Board, and this is all they
have doue or propose to do.
, -
South Carolixa.-Oui dlsputches
announce that the Supreme Court of
South Carolina has decided that the
hoard of canvassers have no power
except tho ministerial duty of count
ing the votes sent up by the county
managers. This may nip a scheme
of rascality la that State. A special
to the Atlanta Constitution, from Co
lumbia, 16th, says that the vote is so
close that it will take the official
count to determine the national re
sult, but there are strong indications
that two of the Tllden'Electors arc
elected.
What did Grant’s committee go to
Sew Orleans for ? They say that it
was not to '"see to a fair count of the
votes actually east," as the President
requested them to do; and they are
horrified at the idea of interfering
with Slate rights even so much as to
••eoitrisel” the Returning Board to
act fairly, os, Mr. Hewitt wanted
Northern men to do. Then what did
they go for ? They say as idle spec
tators merely, but that. Is a very un
dignified trifling with a grave ques
tion for statesmen; and besides, the
Returning Board intimate that they
will not oven be admitted ns wltneses.
Then what was the object of their
mission ?
A iiiHPATCu from Montpelier, Ver
mont, says that tho State Legisla
ture is in session and will pass a bill
to remedy any defects in the exist
ing State law)*regarding rights of
electors t-o fill any vacancies. This
will be done in order to remove any
doubt existing as to the eligibility of
the postmaster chosen ns an elector.
But can a vacancy exist where an
ineligible Elector was voted for?
That is a question first, to bo settled,
and no legislation by the State of
Vermont can lilt a vacancy which
does not exist. If the ineligible
Elector cannot qnalifii himself by re
signing his position as postmaster, it
would seem that one of tho votes of
Vermont must be lost to Hayes.
The Radicals claim that the Presi
dent of the Senate has to perform
the ministerial duty of counting tho
votes of the Electors properly certi
fied, and that there is no power in
either or bofh branches of Congress
to reject any vote thus sent up.
Whatever may have been tho consti
tutional intendment on this subject,
the precedents are against this prop
osition. Tho two houses have,
singly, rejected Electoral votes thus
sent up, and the President of the
Senate never exercised any such
power. All the power over tho mat
ter which either the President, of the
Sena to or Congress possesses must
be derived directly from the Consti
tution, and if they or either ever pos
sessed the power at all, they possess
it now. Congress rejected the Lou
isiana Returning Board’s Electoral
votes in 1873, and has precisely the
same power to reject them In 1877.

THE ANSWER OP URA*T'M COMMIT
TEE.
We endeavored by suggestive head
ings to direot attention to the main
points in the answer of Gen. Grant’s
’’candid” Louisiana committee to the
communication of the Northern Dem
ocrats. In our judgment it shows
plainly that the Republican party of
th wholo country, of which Grant’s
committee-men are the representa
tives, will cncourago tho Returning
Board to “doctor” the returns so as
to elect Hayes, and will then Insist
that there Is no powor In Congress or
anywhere olse to reject or even scru
tinize tho Electoral votes so obtained.
To show tho progress of this move
ment, let ui recur to tho calls under
which tho Committees of the two
ixirtles went to New Orleans. Mr.
Hewitt, when orders were iesued for
the military to go to Tallahassee and
Now Orleans, called upon certain
Northern gentlemen to proceed at
ouco to New Orleans "to counsel
peace and a fair and honest return.”
He did this at tho suggestion of citi
zens of New Orleans. Gen. Grant
tlioreupou called upon certain
Northern Republicans also to go,
and lie exhorted them to tnko a more
positive part and assume a greater
responsibility than Mr. Hewitt had
asked the Northern Democrats at
take. He told them “to see that the
board of canvassers make a fair
count of the vote actualti/ cast.” The
Northern Democrats who wont to
Mr. Hewitt’s mil proposed to the
Northern Republicans in Now Or
leans, that they should hold a joint
conference “in order that 'sneh in
fluence as wo possess, may bo exerted
In behalf of such a canvass of the
votes actually cast as by Its fairness
and impartiality shall command the
respect and acquiosonco of the Amer
ican people of all parties.” It was
to this fairarid unassuming and pa
triotic proposition that tho Northern
Republicans inado tho reply which
we published yesterday morning.
Tho substance of t he reply'of Gen.
Grant’s committee was that they
had no power or largo influence in
t ho ma tter—woro’merely requested to
,be witnesses v of the canvass—and
had no right to control or Influence
tho Returning Board; that it would
be an interference with State rights
and local self-government for them
to attempt to exercise any influence;
and therefore they declinod to take
part In the conference. But they
went fu'tther. They declared that
tho Returning Board had solo juris
diction and judicial powers—could
reject ns well as count the votes.
Still furthor-they went out of their
way to say that the judicial powers
of the board differed materially from
those of tiie President of the Senate,
who had to perform the mero “min
isterial” office of counting the votes
sent up by Eleotors thus chosen by
Returning Boards. And, to cap tho
climax, they admonished the Demo
cratic that Committee even for “actu
to grievances” they must not resort
al unconstitutional! or revolutionary
inodes of redress, but must rather
bear and endure their wrongs!
The reader will see outlined in this
answer of the Northern Republicans
tho whole process by which their
party proposes to reverse the decis
ion of tho people of the United States
and make Gov. Hayes President.
They claim unlimited powers for the
State Returning Boards to change
the votes so as to elect a President
beaten by the people, and then they
assert there Is nowhere any power
to correct this grievous wrong—the
President of tho Senate has a mere
ministerial power to count the votos
and Congress has no jurisdiction In
tho matter—therefore any opposition
will be unconstitutional and revolu
tionary, and must not bo resorted to
We may as well dismiss all delusive,
hopes and accept the fact that this is
the extremity to which the defeated
Radicals will push the country. Tho
crisis will be a very serious one, and
we hope that tho sagacity, fortitude
and patriotism of the statesmen and
moderato politicians of tho country
will find for it. a peaceful adjustment.
But we can now see nothing but diffi
culties and conflicts at every step.
SITUATION Ilf FLORIDA.
okn. a. n.Lawton ketubns prom there
—HIS VIEWS All OUT THE KESUI.T.
From the Atlanta Constitution 16th.]
Gon. I jaw ton went to Florida
among the first who went thereat
summons of Mr. Hewitt and was com
pelled on account of his private busi
ness to return to Georgia. His views
on any question always Interest our
people, and we requested him
yesterday to submit to au interview
on the situation in Florida.
We found him at tho Kimball
House, and was pleased to see that
he was posting a oommitte of Penn
sylvania geutiemen, on their way to
Tallahassee, about matters nnd
things there.
When did you leave Florida, Gen
eral?
“I left on Monday ntght, tho 13th.
I was was compelled on account of
private business to return, and as
others were there I thought It safe
to leave,”
Who was there when you left?
“Gen. Young remained. Gen. Phil
Cook nnd Hon. W. E. Smith arrived
thero the day I left, and several other
gentlemen were oh their way from
New York. Pennsylvania and other
States. Wo have very able men there
to watch our interest.” •
What is the best information as to
the result in that State when you left
it?
“All truthful and reliable men in
Florida who had given special atten
tion to tho subject place the majority
for Tilden and for Drew, the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, at not
less than 1,000. Others make it more
than this, but tho prudent men and
men of judgment who were not bias
ed, admitted that it was not less than
that majority.”
What is the trouble there, and what
danger is appreheuded ?
i * ’The entire State government is cor
rupt. and the incumbent Governor is
the Republican candidate for re-elec
i tion. Ho is very unpopular with the
good people of his State. He has
very great power in the State under
tho law ana constitution; his power
jover the entire machinery oi elec-
I tions, including the count of rotes, is
j almost without limit. There ia much
: reason to fear that the result will uot
be fairly announced, but it maybe
that tho State Board of Canvassers
will have more regard for law than
has been apprehended. A fair count
Is all that we desire.”
What,is the difference between the
State Board of Canvassers and the
County Board ?
“I am not fully posted as to the
precise difference In the local and
general boards. But the returns are
first handled by tho county board,
and then sent to the Governor nt tho
seat of government for the State;
they are then laid before tho State
board by tho Governor. From the
action of the State board there seems
to be no appeal.”
Do you apprehend fraud by the
county and State boards?
“I heard nothing favorable wbilo I
was in the State, about the county
boards. There is great uneasiness
about the uctlon of tho Suite board
when they come to act; but lam not
without hope that they may be influ
enced by hotter oounsel, and disap
point those who expect nothing but
evil from their action in the premis
es.”
Who is on thoStato board, and what
kind of men are they?
“The Attorney General, Comptroll
er General, and tho other State offi
cer (I don’t remember his office) con
stitute ex-officio the State board. Two
of this board—well I dont care to say
what I hear of them until tho are tes
ted—but the Attorney General is con
sidered a thoroughly honest and
truthful man, who cannot be bought
and who will do hla duty regardless
of consequences.”

WHITFIELD COUNTY
Lies joining Bradley county, Tennes

Eastern emigrant—tho lands on the
creeks and rivers being exceedingly
fertile and productive. There are
never-failing streams, tine water

als in the earth, which, when fully
developed, will mako fortunes to the
developers. Tho lands are from $3
to SSO per acre. Fruit's do well
grasses, clover, corn, cotton and gar

plenty; society law-abiding, indus
trious, prosperous and hospitable.
Tho citizens, one and all. are anxious

schools; surrounded by grazing and
farming lands. The other villages
are small and located in the hills and
along tho valleys, presenting a neat
mountain appearance. "B.”’
The Feeling at Washington.
Special dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer )
Washington, Nov. 14.—Tho public
mind is now directed toward Louisi
ana. There is no excitement here,
but the feeling is growing that the
Radical managers surely intend to
count Mr. Tilden out of his honest
election. Thero is, too, a foeling of
alarm manifesting itstdf that dire
consequences will follow such a nefa
rious proceeding. The probability
of revolution is quietly discussed,
and the less sanguine 6f a peaceable
solution to the complex situation an
ticipate trouble ahead.
About the only topic discussed is,
what will be done if the corrupt Rad
icals return Hayes Electors in all the
disputed Southern States ? It is said
the proceeding would be such a fla
grant insult to the people that there
would be such a spirit of resentment
that civil war might be the outcome
of it, and be the crowning act of in
famy of the Grant dynasty. The
sending of Sheridan to New Orleans
is construed hero as an indication
that some terriblo emergency is an
ticipated.
Kellogg’s telegram: “Rest easy so
far as Louisiana is concerned,” has
now a startling significance, and on
its face indicates that he is prepared
for any courso which will insure
Hayes tho Electoral vote of the State.
Thero is a class hore whose opin
ions aro shared by the prominent
politicians that the presidential ques
tion will not bo settled until after
the 4th of March. Tjrgy hold that
Bout well’s Bloody-Shirt Committee
to Mississippi was sent to that State
to purposely pave the way to throw
out Its vote if it became necessary.
The report of tho Committee is still
pending in the Senate, and should
this terrible suspenso continue until
after the time of tho expiration of
Grant’s term, while debating the
question of fraud and intimidation,
there would then be no President,
and, under the construction of the
law that the King never dies, Grant
would continue in his office. These
are some of the alarming points of
the complication which are discussed.
True,-the majority of the thinking
men here can not bring their minds
to the contemplation of such a con
tingency, and hope that, peaceably,
Tilden or Hayes wall be inaugurated.
There is a great deal of desperation,
however, with the Republican lead
ers, and they are prepared, no doubt,
for tho worst. They will not give up
their power without a desperate
struggle.
Should the election be thrown into
tho House of Representatives, a curi
ous anomaly would be presented,
Tho Constitution prescribes that
each State shall have one vote. Of
course the Congressional majority of
each State would decide its vote, and
New York having a Republican ma
jority, would cast its one vote for
Hayes, while Ohio, with a Democrat
ic Congressional majority, would
vote for Tilden. Not counting Colo
rado, an election in the House would
stand twenty-three for Tilden as
against thirteen for Hayes.
Kellegg to Logan : “You may rely
that if Governor Tilden depends upon
the vote of Louisiana he will never
be President.”
