THE DAILY TIMES. JOHN H. MARTI*. - - - “ r - CoTnmbu*. 0h SATURDAY lij. liflO. 111..'—• ..... . '*" LARGEST CIRCITLATION lu Ikf rmauri *• Tr4ln* l 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. rOXOKVIED UKOKUU JISWS. —The Savannah New* of Thursday re ports citizens returning In largo numbers by every train. —Tho frost at Savannah a few nights ago was severe enough to make the ba nana trees in the Park wilt. —Not a single Radical vote was cast in Walton or Madison county at t he election of last week. XValton gave Tilden 1,480 votes, and Madison 599. -The Gainesville Southron says many splendid diamonds have been found In Hall county, and that a regular system of washing for them, by a competent miner, will be soon Inaugurated. —Mr. George R.

They were separated before any serious damage was done. —Atlanta Timex, 15th: Yesterday about twenty farmers from Fayette county passed through this city on their way to Texas. They bought tickets as far os Fort Worth, and will go from that city to some point in Texas about 60 miles, among the mountains, where they will settle down in life as fanners. They took with them their stock, dt horses, mules, dogs, and large quantities of household furni ture. —A young man named William Strick land, aged about 20 years,!son or Mr. Joel Strickland, of Forsyth, left his home on Thursday morning and went to Duluth, where he spent the day, and left there to return homo at ion o’clock at night, con siderably under the influence of liquor. He has not been heard of since. It Is thought hsiKtietnpted to swim the Chatta hoochee river on his return and was drowned. 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, GA. Dalton, Whitfield Countt, Ga., I November 10, 1876. j DALTON. Editor of Timet:—Many uro the old “Confeds” who remember the winter sport of this place; the “snow ball” fights among themselves, and an occasional tilt with Sherman’s b’hoys. Tho place was destroyed by Sherman’s advance. It has been re built, and to-day Is a flourishing vll lago of 2,000 souls. Tho terminus of tho Selma, Romo & Daiton Rail road and the East Tennessee & Vir ginia, and on tho through line of the Western & Atlantic; with good churches, flourishing schools, daily improving, 2 hotels, 8 churches, 1 foundry, 1 furnituro manufactory, boot and shoe factory, depots and car shops; with enterprising, ener getic, shrewd merchants. WHITFIELD COUNTY Lies joining Bradley county, Tennes see, and is a desirable county for the Eastern emigrant—tho lands on the creeks and rivers being exceedingly fertile and productive. There are never-failing streams, tine water powor, with millions of crude miner 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 den truck grow luxuriantly; timber plenty; society law-abiding, indus trious, prosperous and hospitable. Tho citizens, one and all. are anxious for immigration. OTHER VILLAGES in the county and on the railroad: First is Tunnel Hill, the name per haps derived from the tunnel, meas uring 1,477 feet through a hill near the place. Its population is near GOO. It has a hotel, postoffice, depot, and three churches, with fine 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.” I,IST OP I.ETTEW*.
