A candidate who. in any event, has a majority of at least 300,000 ou tho popular vote, cannot be thrust, aside ny the verdict of a Returning hoard which but a few months ago was considered so disreputable that the Senator produced by it was denied a seat in a Republican Senate. A candidate who is the acknowledged choice of nineteen States, including New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana,cannot bedeprived of his rights by the same machine which fastened Kellogg upon Louisiana. The Presidency of the American re public cannot be carried in a carpet bag, nor disposed of by carpet-bag gers. The American people will have something to say before that is done, and the majyrity of tho Ameri can people are with the Democracy. NEW YOilK HERALD AND EXP HESS, Special to tho Cincinnati Enquirer.] New York, Nov, 17.—The Express steailily asserts th>it Tilden has been elected anti shall be inaugurated ; de clares that the decision pf the people shall not be reversed by the Senate. It calls attention to the' fact t hat the House is a co-ordinate branch and holds the purse and sinews of war. Whereupon the Herald scolds the Express and bullies it, declaring it incendiary and revolutionary, hold ing Tilden and Hewitt responsible for it, and denouncing Kelly’s candi dacy for Comptroller, alleging that he owns the Express. Last evening’s Express said : “The Express means what it said—that the House is as much judge of election as the Senate; that the Vice Presi dent can only open packages ad dressed to him, and that according to right, precedent and custom tell ers are five to three, and are per sons to count the votes and see that they are correct. The Express means that the men who have received a majority of the Electoral votes, with, a3 in the present year, three hun dred thousand majority of the peo ple’s votes, have a right to preside over our Government for fojur years, as declared in the Constitution of the United States, and as sanctioned by the Government and people from 1789 to 1876.” The Herald raves like a termagant this morning, and commands John Kelly to discharge the editors. The Express will stand firm, and the Dem ocrats will back it. From the Chicago Tribune. Ind.J We do not believe, therefore, that the moral sense of the American peo ple will eonse/d to or tolerate that the election of a President of the United States shall be determined and decided by throwing out the votes of several thousands of legal voters, legally poll ed, in any State of the Union. We take it, therefore, that the votes ac tually polled in these five “bulldoz ed” parishes of Louisiana will be counted, no matter what may be the result, produced upon the election by so doing. * * * If, however, the Demojrats do not have a majority except by counting the votes in these five parishes, and the result in the State depends on their being count ed, then the issue will be a direct one, and one upon which the coun try will promptly reach a judgment, and NO CANVASSING BOARD WILL DARE ATTEMPT TO PUT THE JUDGMENT OF THE NATION AT DEFIANCE; and the American people will never engage in a civil war to uphold the counting of votes never cast or offered to be cast, or to REJECT LAWFUL VOTES LEGALLY CAST AND recorded on the poll lists. THE DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE OF OHIO. Columbus, 0., Nov. 17.—John G. Thomi>son, Chairman of the Demo cratic State Executive Committee, issued the following call to-night for a meeting of the Democratic State i Central Committee on Wednesday next.: Rooms of the Democratic State i Executive Committee, Columbus. 0., Nov 17. 1870..) Nearly two weeks have now elapsed since the Presidential election. The grave events that have transpired within that time make it evident to all that an attempt is being made to defeat the will of the people in their choice of a Chief Executive. Certain irresponsible men holding office in the Southern State Governments have conspired with party managers in the North to regain by fraud and violence what they lost by the honest ballot; thev are attempting to count in a candidate for the Presidency when he has been fairly beaten at the polls. After we have brought the campaign to a successful termin ation by giving our candidate for the Presidency a majority of a mil lion among the white voters of the country, a majority of three hundred thousand of the whole vote cast, a majority in the Electoral College of probably thirty-seven votes, and also carrying nine of the thirteen States, as many as were required to ratify the Constitution, these desperate men are endeavoring to overthrow the re sults of the contest and to perpetuate their corrupt power. It is a time when th£ very existence of our Re public is imperiled. We have thought it expedient to call a meeting of the Democratic Central Committee at Columbus, on Wednesday next, No vember 22d, at 2 o’clock P. M., to take into consideration the duty that the Democratic Conservative element of Ohio owes to itself and to the Gov ernment. It is not the intention of this call to limit our counsels to tho leaders of our own party. They, of course, are invited. But we also ask the presence of our Liberal and Inde pendent brethren, all who have tho wolfareand prosperity of our coun try at heart, and who aro opposed to the rascally schemes of these desper ate men, to join with us in an earnest protest against their threatened usur pation. [Signed] J. G. Thompson, Ch’n. L. S. Ckall, Cor. Sec'y. GRANT WILL DECIDE IT ! From the New York Herald.) Now. supposing Hayes declared elected by counting the three States as given in the official ceititieates, tho Democrats will have unconstitu tional means of redress. The very utmost they could do would bo to use force to prevent the inauguration of Hayes; butas President Grant will be still in office this would boa tough er job than anybody would care to undertake. A resort to force would be treason, and with the army ut his command Grant would mako short work of treason. Judicial warrants would bo sworn out at once and the conspirators arrested and imprisoned to await their trial. The idea that force will be resorted to with so vig orous a President as Grant in office is simply absurd, and more especial ly as Tilden could not posiblv ad minister the government if the Sen ate rejected his title. We may, there fore, quietly dismiss all the “gor gons, hydras and chimeras dire” which distempered and cavilling im aginations have conjured up, and ac cept the safe conclusion that, let the official count be as it may, the result will bo acquiesced iu by the defeated party, and the peace of the country be preserved. WIKCOHsIn fopTltilen by a Majority i,f ■ lie Honest Votes. Milwaukee (Win.) Commercial Time*, lOtii.j It will be the duty of the official canvassers of the vote of Wisconsin to declare its Electoral vote for Til den and Hendricks. From idl por tions of the State come well authen ticated report.3 of unprecedented Re publican fraud and intimidation. Careful estimates have already been made shoAving that the popular legal vote of the State gives a largo major ity for the Democratic Electors In St. Croix. Pierce, Pepin and other counties adjoining Minnesota the returns show that the Republi cans have run in hundreds of voters from the adjoining State. Counties farther up the river iu the northwest keep their returns back, undoubtedly at the order of Keves, so that they may send in any report that the boss dictates. There is no question what ever that the Republicans have been guilty of tlie most outrageous frauds iu the sparsely settled counties of the State. It remains for the official canvas sers of Wisconsin to thoroughly in vestigate the returns that, upon their very face, show fraud. It re mains for the Democratic party to see to it that the official canvassers do their full duty. JCven in localities where fraud was least suspected, there is evidence of Republican cuss edness that is astonishing. Referring to the extraordinary vote in Racine, the Argus says: Contrary to expectations, the Re publicans carry the city bv about 300 majority. They could not have done it without resorting to the most dis graceful frauds and intimidations. It is useless to deny that bribes and in timidations were used by Republi cans. More votes, by hundreds, were polled in this city than there were voters. An examination of the names on the poll lists will reveal the fact that the persons who represented these names are not to be found in the city. What does all this mean? It means that the men were imported here by the Radical managers, and given employment for a few days or weeks, for the purpose of voting the Radical ticket. Judgment ItenAcrcil. A man was sawing wood yesterday afternoon in a back yard. He sever ed two sticks as thick as your wrist, and then went into the house. "Ma ry,” said he to his wife, “my country needs me; there’s no use talking, we must just go to slaughter all these Injuns; no true patriot can he ex pected to hang around a wood pile these days.” “John,” said his wife, “if you fight Injuns as well as you saw wood and support your family, it would take one hundred and eighteen like you to capture one squaw, and you would have to catch her when she had the ague and throw pepper in her eyes.” John went back to the wood pile wondering who told his wife all about him.

COLUMBUS, GA., TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 21, 1870. WASHINGTON I.KTTHK. miiitr vhim t Tin: f.i.i.i tion oilin'-Holders Itc-assured SIGNIFICANT INTIMATIONS ABOUTOR VNT’s HOLDING OVER. From our regular Correspondent.: Washington, Nov. 18.—There is profound anxiety felt, here in refer ence, not to the election, for both parties consider that settled, but to the official count as it is called iu Louisiana, which few beliox'o will bo fair. The large number of small but zealous office-holding Republican politicians, who have worked, con tributed and voted desperately, and in a number of close States, like Ohio and Wisconsin, doeided the majority, were when they learned of their de feat, resigned to submit to ro.r poyidi et vox Dei ; but since the New York Times has, according to programme, claimed theso-calied doubtful States, and they have learned that Chan dler, Kellogg, Packard ct alter i arradcs aro to bo the interpreters of the ro.r Dei iu this hundredth anniversary of American independence; I hey are persuaded that tho will of a large Electoral vote and an immensely popular majority may be successfully thwarted. They find much satisfac tion and comfort in the reflection that the Returning Board of Louis iana and South Carolina aro compos ed of Republican candidates, who are the judges of their own election. There is much talk about “intimida tion" in the Southern States, and it must be confessed, there is intimida tion ; your correspondent has been there and has seen it. I have heard negroes threaten to cut the heart out of their own color, for refusing to vote as tho Postmaster or Internal Resenuo Agent directed. There will doubtless be cords of affidavits and clouds of witnesses, but the conviction is deep hero with fair men of all parties, that Tilden’s majority is morally and mathemati cally clear It is significant that Chandler, Kel logg, Packard, and Republicans, if that ilk are the only ones that havo the affrontery to claim the election of Hayes. We all remember the in dignation of the better Republican' papers, among them the New York Tribune, when Zncharich Chandler was made a Cabinet Minister. His reputation as a politician of the worst character was National, and lie had just been repudiated and remanded to civil life, by a Republican Legisla ture in his own State. Ho is well known in Washington. Your corres pondent has seen him reel on Penn sylvania avenue at midday, and 101 l in the street cars with stupid intoxi cation. When sober, he is bold, un scrupulous, overbearing and ntnbi tious. He will not sicken at blood spilling so long as his own skin is not abraded. Ho does not pretend to be a Statesman, and he is too selfish to be a demagogue. He is simply a partizan of the most soulless, danger ous type. No one who has ever seen him, heard him or studied his char acter, can avoid a shudder when ho realizes that the destinies of a great people are, to a degree, in the power of this lusus (I had almost said lupus) humani. Chandler controls Grant, Grant controls the Cabinet and army. Hayes has retired into the national obsurity from which his candidacy called him, and it is believed by many that Grant and* Chandler would not hesitate a mo ment to snuff outthe Republic in this year of 1876, and that they would be seconded by an immense army of of fice-holders, and such statesmen us still distinguish the Republican par ty—Spencer, Patterson, Clayton, Kel logg, Packard, Boutwell, and Mor ton. There was a significant editori al paragraph in the Administration paper, the National Bepublican, this morning, I have space for only the last sentence: “ And no President br ing declared, does Grant holdover un til a successor is elected and qualified ?” There are sufaee indications here of peats and conspiracies. Gen. Grant is the willing, pampered tool of the party as it is, or rather the tool und the party are in perfect accord, both would rejoice at a contingency that would enable the Administration to seize absolute power. The man who thinks these are “wild and whirling words” is simply not abreast with the times. The country has become so habitutated to the insidious usur pations of the President, that now, when he makes the most unconstitu tional uses of the army, sending it unasked and for political purposes to States that are as peaceful as soli tude, there is scarcely a voice lifted in protest. This apathy is porten tious. We remember well the burn ing indignation with which the mili tary interference in Louisiana (only two years agoj was received ;it was so emphatic that even Grant hesi tated, trembled, and apologized, and each member of the Cabinet hasten ed to disentangle himself from Bel knap’s “all of U3” approving dis patch to Gen. Sheridan. But where is Sheridan now, and the Cabinet.(ex cept Belknapj and whereare the New York limes and Tribune with their eloquent invectives! What a pity that Rip Van Winkle did not sleep until this hundredth anniversary, that he might, be able to Appreciate political, as well as physical changes. Locally there is nothing new except that Boss Shepard has gone to tho bottom financially, swamping a num ber of smaller piratical crafts in the vortex of his ru4n. The exquisite young ladies and gentlemen who tidorn the rosewood desks in tho Treasury Department are annoyed if possible more than ever before by creditors who frantic ally insist upon payment bsforo tho fourth of March. Many boarding house keepers, tailors, and miliners would 1)0 glad to compromise at fifty per cent., for the impressibn is general, that, on tho fourth, this gay superfluous army must march forth. All business is blocked. The only men who seem to lie happy and to have a future are the auctioneers who expect to sell cubic acres of real estate, and second-hand furniture. C. A. S. At.uititA i.i:gi*i,ati hi:. Saturday, \Slh.— ln tho Senate sev eral bills were introduced to auswer sections of the Code; also the follow ing: To repeal the act to prevent abusivo language in the prcsonco of females; to amend tho act allowing principals to testify on behalf of their securities. All ordered to a second reading. A number of bills on their second reading were referred to ap propriate committees. In the House, on the call of tho counties, tho following among other bills were introduced: By Mr. Gil christ, to provide for more effectually working the public roads; by Mr. Denson, to prevent any person from employing tho agricultural laborer of another; by Mr. Hudson, to extend the time for redemption of land sold for taxes—all ordered to a second reading. The Judiciary Committee reported favorably on bills to amend sections 4222 and 2900 of the Code, whioh were passed; also, unfavorably on bill to regulate trials by jury- con curred in. The two houses met in joint ses sion to count the votes for Htate offi cers at the August election. Thoro were returns from all the counties except Maoon, which gave a Demo cratic majority of 1,073. The vote for Governor stood—Houston 99,236, Woodruff 55,582; Secretary* of State Boyd 96,381, Moody 55,352; Auditor— Brewer 96,053, Owen 55,061; Treasurer Crawford 96,681, Harris 54,541; At - torney General—Sanford 96,731,G ran - din 55,352. Mr. Box was elected Su perintendent of Education by about the same vote. • ♦ . It is announced from Montpelier that on Saturday a bill was offered iu the House of Representatives ot Vermont to correct the error of elect ing a postmaster one of the Repub ican Electors in that Slate. The Dill was received by a vote of 120 to 19. It would appear, then, that the Leg islature mfiy jtrovide for supplying the place of an ineligible Elector after ho has been chosen. If Ver mont, may do this, may not Oregon, which has a Democratic Governor and Legislature, also provide now for tilling tho place of the postmaster chosen in that State-say by tho Legislature filling the vacancy? Maryland. Baltimore, Nov. 18.— The official vote tor Preeideut and Vice President is: Tilden 91,780; Hayes 71,981—Til den’s majority 19,799. The official majorities for Congress are; First District, D. M. Henry 3,- 382; Second, Charles B. Roberts 3,- 019; Third, William Kimmell 5,659; Fourth, Thomas Swann 2,581; Fifth, Eli J.

This is made the basis for sensational par agraphs about massing the army In the District. There aro assurances that these troops aro merely en routo, and their movements have no strategic or political significance. It is likely, however, as the District has no local government, that the army will police the-ten miles square until after the fourth of March. Pincliback Unruly New York, Nov. 20.—The Times’ New Orleans special dispatch says, it will be. remembered that the Re turning Board was created by the same Legislature that elected Pinch back to the Senate. He was refused his seat on the ground that the Leg islature was not properly and legal ly organized. Now he claims that if the Returning Board is recognized as a body, he should he seated.

The movement of troops, so far as regards concentration here, has no political significance. Three members of the Cabinet, in cluding the Secretary of War, had no knowledge that they were coming. THE EUROPEAN SITUATION. I.ONHON PMESN MOHE HOPEFUL. BRITISH PREPARATIONS EXPLAINED. London, Nov. 20.—The Daily News’ Vienna correspondent says it is posi tively written that Germany nor Aus tria would approve Russia’s entrance into Roumania. Tho strength of the Russian army now in jiroeess of mobilization is a quarter of a million. All tho ships of the Russian Black Sea Navigation Company have been impressed. The Sunday papers generally take a more hopeful view of the situation. The Times says; "This morning opens so fairly that we are, jierhaps, led to lie too sanguine in holding that peace is assured. It is hard to be lieve that, when ten j>ersons, all rep resenting Powers deeply interested in keeping peace, meet in council, they will not maintain peace un broken.” London. Nov. 19.—Careful official constructions arc published this morning of recent reports of activity at Woolwich arsenal, where the Post on Saturday stated an order had been received for forty million cartridges and forty thousand ammunition box es in which to pack cartridges for transportation. Tho increased de mand for cartridges is solely in con sequence of the adoption of the Mar tin-Henry rifle in the Indian army. London, Nov. 20.—The Marquis of Salisbury, special ambassador to act at the comiDg conference, has left for Constantinople with his family. He will stop at Paris, Berlin and Vienna, presumably for consultation with the respective Foreign Ministers.
