FACTS AND FIGURES, The total vote for Governor this year is 160,224, or 13,000 more than ever cast in Louisiana before. The Radicals, however, are not satisfied with this, and complain that voters were kept away from the polls. Such really was the case with white citi zens in Lafourche, Terrebonne, Pla quemines and this city to the extent perhaps of 3,000 voters, who register ed, desired to vote, went to the polls and were refused their rights. Iu Lincoln, Calcasieu, Claiborne and several other parishes many registered white citizens failed to vote, because they foolishly insisted our majority would be sufficiently large without their ballot. Very few of the negroes, however, threw away their voting privileges, and the per centage of negroes registered and failing to vote is considerably less than that or whites. The smallest majority for any Til den Elector is 7,643; "four Electors have a majority of fi,24'.t, thereby showing that 1,606 of those three Electors tickets were voted in Con cordia, and the Fourteenth Senatori al District. Xicholls’mujority le 8,051*, with ojfieial returns from ten parish es yet to be heard. The Democratic gains 7,756 over the true vote of 1874, Radical gains 4.851; net Democratic gains 2,905. —-V. 0. Uanocrat, ‘Mil. now They Will He netrnu-il. Ex-Senator Gwinn, for many years a member of the Senate, and a lead ing politician for half a century, thus explains the manner in which the fraudulent scheme of the Hayes ites will be defeated by the Democra cy; In answer to a question as to tiro manner in which this right would be exercised by the House if frauds were attempted, Senator Gwinn said : The votes are not counted by the Presi dent of the Senate. They are mere ly opened by him and then handed to the tellers appointed by the two houses who do the oountiog In behalf of their respective bodies. The first votes opened will be those, say of Alabama. They will be handed to the tellers and "counted without ob jection. Next will come the votes of Arkansas and California and Colora do, etc., which will be opened and counted in like manner. When the votes of Florida are opened and hand ed to the tellers, the House will, if there be a taint of fraud upon them, object to tho counting of them aud they must be thrown out. The same action will be taken upon the votes of Louisi ana and South Carolina if they shall be fraudulently returned. Rut, as the fair and well ascertained vote for the two Presidential candidates stand, the rejection of the votes of even one State will prevent either candidate from receiving a majority, and under the Constitution the elec tion of the President will be thrown into the House of Representatives, which will at once proceed to elect Mr. Tiiden. You may depend upon it, he said, that we will establish our right to object to the counting of fraudulent votes beyond cavil or con tradiction. When it is seen that we have the power to defeat attempted frauds and to make Mr. Tiiden President ip spite of them, the idea of making false re turns may be abandoned and the Democratic majority allowed to pass unquestioned. Some of these men, said tho Senator significantly, have hopes of a political future, and they may shun so desperate a scheme whereof the results or failure would be so disastrous, and which they must soon see, cannot by any possi bility succeed. The Square In the Center. [From the Portland (Oregon) Standard.] In the vicinity of Yamhill resides a shrewd but illiterate old fellow, who has amassed considerable in a small retail business, notwithstanding his entire ignorance of the lirst rules of arithmetic. His accounts are kept with a board and piece of chalk. His memory is most remarkable, and a language consisting of signs of his own invention, is his way of keeping debit and credit account. Some few days since a customer called and de manded his bill. He was told the amount, which was rather more than he had supposed, and asked him what he had him charged with. The merchant said “acheeee.” “Cheese,” answered the customer, “I never bought such a thing in my life. Let me see the account.” The board was shown, and behold a large circle was visible. The customer laughed and said, “I know now, ’twas a grind stone I purchased.” “By George, that’s so,” said Mr. Merchant, “I forgot to make a square hole in the middle.” -7 r KnxEß.—We regret to learn that the Kev. .1. C. McAulev, a Presbyte rian minister of Talladega, was run over by the cars and killed near Munford, in Talladega county, early Monday morning. The train had passed by the station, and Mr. Mc- Auley got on the track to walk down to it, and as the ears were backed up again he was struck by the rear car, knocked down and run over. His death will be regretted by the entire community, a3 he was universally re spected.— 'Mont. Journal A German enlisted in the regular army; in course of a few days he was put on picket duty. His instructions were, when anybody approached, to say “Who comes there?” three times, and then shoot. Before long he perceived a man approaching; he waited auietly till the man came very near, th*en he suddenly brought his musket to his shoulder and shouted, “Who comes dere dree times?’ Bang? j from the N. Y. Sun, Nov, IT.I MINtTOI'N AN A NMAKE'S TRACK. The only man of national reputa tion upon the Louisiana Returning Board is -1. Madiso.n Wells, who has been its chairman since 1873. The national reputation of J. Madison Wolls is not such as to encourage the 1 hope that the proceedings of tho I Board will be guided by honesty, or even by a docent regard for the ap | pearanco of honesty. J. Madison Wells wus Governor of Louisiana during tho period ot re • construction. His public acts and private jol>3 were equally scandalous. At one time it was proposed to im peach him for having defaulted to 1 the State of Louisiana in tho sum of ! SBB,OOO as Tax Collector for the parish of Rapides. He es taped Impeach ment only to be removed from office by Gen. Sheridan, then in command lof tho Fifth Military District, The grounds for the removal were num l berless acts of dishonesty and of . usurpation. The Lieutenant General's opinion .of .T. Madison Wolls in 1867 maybe gathered from the following einpbat i ic passage in an official dispatch from Gen. Pli+l. Sheridan to Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War: “I say now unequivocally that Gov. Wells is a political trieksternndadls honest man. I have seen him during the July riot of 1866 skulk away where I could not find him to give a guard, instead ot coming out as a manly representative of the State and join ing those who are preserving tho peace. I have watched him since, and his conduct has been ns sinuous as the mark left in the dust by tho movements of a snake. T say again that he is dishonest.” A short time after, in u letter to Grant, Sheridan wrote of Wells, "‘He has not one friend who is an honest man and again, “The people of the whole State feel that we have got rid of an unprincipled Governor and the set of disreputable tricksters he had about him.” This is Phil. Sheridan's picture of tho man upon whoso fairness and honesty the fair aud honest declara tion of Louisiana's vote now depends. And Phil Sheridan himself, at the command of Grant and Chandler, has gone to support, with Federal bayonets the decree of the trickster, whoso ways are as “sinuous ns the mark left in tho dust by the move ments of a snake.” Of the old thirteen States, which, by their united efforts, established American independence, nine cast their Electoral votes for Uncle Sam my Tiiden and but four for Mr. Hayes. Tho following are tho old Revolu tionary States which voted for Tii den : Connecticut, Delaware, Geor gia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Caro lina and Virginia. The following four of the original thirteen voted for Hayes: Massachusetts, New Hamp shire, Pennsylvania and Rhode Isl and. Uncle Sammy carries the orig inal States by more than 2to 1. Let us not cheat the Old Thirteen, for wc would have no opportunity of elect ing a President had it not been for them. The Herald on the Situation. The Herald of Friday, in a long leader headed “A Few Plain Words to the Republicans,” reviews the gen eral situation in South Carolina and Louisiana, and concludes as follows: Can the National Republican party afford to countenance and to take ad vantage of such methods as these, no matter how strictly they may be according to the letter of the law? Can it afford to be put before the country as the aider and abettor in such manifestly unjust, such glar ingly indecent proceedings? And can it afford to declare, by the help of returning boards so constituted and of political appliances of such a nature as we have recited, that its candidate is elected, unless this shall be shown to the entire satisfac tion of both parties? We believe not. If its leaders hope for a politi cal future, if they have any regard for tho esteem of the nation, riiey must to-day prefer that Mr. Tiiden shall be returned. It is almost im possible for them, under the circum stances, to obtain a verdict favorable to their candidate which shall not bear the fatal taint of fraud; and we solemnly warn them that it is quite impossible in such a case for them to escape the indignation of the North, which will cling to them and inevita bly sweep them out of political life. Under the circumstances the Demo crats have only to wait. They occu py a position of advantage which ou ly their own folly can deprive them of. But the Republican position is painful in the highest degreo. To satisfy the public mind that no wrong is done, where so many cir cumstances point to a deliberate in tention of wrong, is very difficult for them. To count their candidate in without so satisfying the public mind and disarming suspicion is to court disgrace, and at the next elec tion to meet an irresistible burst of popular indignation. From the Shelby (Ala.) Guide of last week, we clip the following statement: Last Friday evening Mr. Thomas. Fnl ler, a son-in-law of Francis Nelson, Sher iff, went to the house of Mr. Nelson near Columbia, armed with a double-barrel shot gun. He found Mrs. Fuller, his wife, ironing. He discharged one load in her side, which caused death in about one hour. He then attempted to shoot Mrs. Nelson, the mother-in-law, but she ! succeeded in getting in the house and ; closing the door. He then placed the ! breech of the gun against the house, the i muzzle of the barrel against his heart; j,took a stick and pushed the trigger. The gun fired, emptying the whole load in his ! heart.

' -—i ■ . - New York, Nov. 21.—A Herald special says regarding South Caroli na : “Tho result of tho election may l>e briefly summed up on the Demo cratic side as follows; The election | of Governor and Lieut. Governor, a gain of seven Stato Senators and 31 ' Representatives; which give* a ma jority aud seoures tho return of a Democrat to the United States Sen ate ; a gain of two Congressmen; a gain of five Solicitors out Of eight; the election of the Comptroller Gen eral, and probably of the Attorney General and Superintendent ot Edu cation. - • The Error* and Irregularities lu Nnuth Carolina Columbia, 8. C., Nov. 20.-Upon the meeting of the Supreme Court this a. m., counsel for Democratic candidates asked the Board of Can vassers In reporting their act ion un der order 17th to include at the same time all errors, irregularities and discrepancies in statements of oounty commissioners, which exist between returns of managers of precinct, eloo tions aud those of county canvassers as tabulated and discovered by this board. The order was asked for on tho ground that a comparison of re turns of managers and county can vassers made for tho counties of Aiken, Abbeville, Barnwell and Charleston by tho State Board of Canvassers had made manifest great irregularities and discrepancies; that votes given to one candidate so ap pearing upon the managers’ returns were by county canvassers transfer red to another candidate; that coun ty canvassers included in their state ments of returns purporting to come from profloients, designated iu every statute; and that the Board of State Canvassers received returns not forwarded according to law, sighed by managers of one party only, and never submitted to the Board of County Canvassers, one forwarded by one party after the county can vassers had made and closed I heir official statement. The court declined granting this order on the ground that the Board had not, as yet, refused to produce the papers asked for, and that it! would therefore be irregular to do so. The court, however, intimated that it would require the production of tho returns by the Board to-mor row, and threatened to issuo a per- j emptory mandamus to compel them ; to 80. The court commented quite severe-1 ly upon tho failure of the Board to perform merely the clerical work re quired of them, and their action and temper to-day is regarded as another significant hint to the Board that no tampering or kukitixing of returns will be allowed. The Board is now canvassing for members of Congress, and will prob ably conclude theirJabors to-day. Tin* Vermont Inellßlhle. NO ACTION TAKEN. Montpelier, Yt., Nov. 21. —Au elab orate argument is progressing before the Counting Hoard, on n motion tlmt they return P. M. Sallace to the Governor as ineligible. No decision readied.

Wahhinoton, Nov. 21.-—Full cabinet routine for business. No allusion was made to the ordering of troops to Washington. It may be added on the authority of two members of the CabiDet, that this subject has never been discussed or acted upon by that body.

THE EUROPEAN SITUATION Ti nKS I'OMCEMTHATIMU. RUSSIA BTMKINO torpedotn^ i London, Nov. 21.—A special from | Speth to the Temps says Russia is de i tormined on war. Representatives of the l’orte abroad have been instructed to make known its resolution that the Sultan neither oould nor would, in any cir cumstances, consent to the occupa tion of Turkish Territory by the most friendly powers. Russia and Turkey continue war preparations. Sf.aha, Nov. 21.—Intelligence re ceived here announces that, Monkh tar Poscha is concentrating twenty battalions of Turkish troops at Cari na, near Dergato, on the Austrian frontier. It is asserted that ho in tends to proceed to Grovera, where the troops will embark for Constan tinople. This would necessitate their marching across Austrian ter ritory. Several Turkish transports,it, is said, have already arrived at Grovera. Up to tho present time five Turkish bat talions have reached Carina. Mr. Cross, Home Secretary, at a banquet, spoke of the aspect of East ern affairs. He thought the confer ence would meet before the end of the week. Brussels, Nov. 21.—The Govern j raent of Belgium has received a coin j mu cheat ion from the Belgian Consul nf Malta, announcing that the Malta > autlioritios had informed thoCham j ber of Commerce that torpedoes had j been placed at the approaches to the ! ports of Odessa, Kerch, Sebastopol i and Eschakoff (Russian ports).

A Rule flint Ought to Work noth Ways. The Republicans have determined to adopt a high moral tone in regard to the two mis begotten postmasters in Vermont and Ore gon. They exclaim, with a great affecta tion of fairness, put ou to conceal their trep idation, that Mr. Tiiden cannot, with any degree of self-respect, consent to receive an electoral vote from Vermont when the ma jority of the people in that State clearly in tended to east all its electoral votes for Hayes. They appeal to the magnanimity of our candidate, and urge the disgrace of an election by a mere accident, a technicality, a piece of legal chicanery. They have been for months denouncing him as one of the greatest villains in Christendom, and now they address touching arguments to his cour tesy, forbearenco and sense of chivalry. We commend their sweet and innocent utteran ces in favor of generosity and self-denia! to the consideration of Governor Hayes. If it was wrong for Tiiden to accept a vote from Vermont against the purpose of the major ity of her people, how base it would be for Hayes to accept the Presidency against the purpose of the majority of the people of the United States? It is a poor rule that wont work both ways. The constitutional pro vision that disqualifies Federal officials from being electors is as binding as the con stitutional provision that makes it possible for a minority to control the Electoral Col lege. An appeal to the generosity of their opponents in the case of these ineligible elec tors comes with a curious grace from men at this very moment engaged in attempting to set aside the popular vote in three States, and rob the man whose forbearance they whine for, of nineteen votes. It is as if a highwayman should object to being arrested for attempting to pass off a counterfeit. It is vain for the Republican party to look about for sympathy in its emergency, for it will get none. The framers of the Consti tution, when they put in that proviso against Federal office-holders, had in mind an organ ization owned and run, as the Republican organization is, by office holders, and took what precautions they could to keep priblic servants out of partisan politics. There is a beautiful propriety, therefore, in having Republicanism brained by a Vermont post master, or, speaking metaphorically, hoist by its own petard. This is the irony of fate. Nothing so strange has happened since tiie warlike Fvrrhus was discomforted by an old woman who flung a tile at him w hile he was fighting in the streets of Argos, and knocked him off'his horse. We counsel the unhorsed organization to cease its pite ous lamentations and give up the ghost with some sort of decency. Let its death be what its life was not.— N. Y.

They had all been members of the Republican party, and several of them had recently been presidents of Republican clubs. They gave reasons why they had changed and led their respective followers to tho polls to vote the Democratic ticket. VOAH AMU HIS .ARK. THE WIDOW VAN COTT STARTLING HER HEARERS WITH VIVID DESCRIPTIONS. New York San.] The widow Van Uott was greeted by a large congregation in the Methodist Chapel in East Eleventh street last evening. She drew a vivid picture ot Noah building the ark, and illustrated the manner in which people ridiculed him while he was at work. Personating one of the scoffers, Mrs. Van Cott, with a sneering laugh, exclaimed to an imaginary Noah, “Ha-ha-ha! What a fool you are; that ark will never be of any use to you, and you will only have your labor for your pains.” "But,” the widow added, “Noah did not care how much they laughed at him. He had been told by God to build the ark, and he kept right on pounding away until the last nail was driven in place. Then tiie skies darkened, and a fearful storm came. There were deafening peals of thunder and j blinding Hashes of lightning,” Mrs Van Cott averted her lace and cov ered her eyes with her hand to shield them from the vivid flashes. She pictured the an imals. birds and creeping things going two by two into the ark. Said.she, gazing upon i an imaginary menagerie procession in one of the aisles of the church; “There they go. See them in pairs, marching toward Noah’s great ship.” Many of the people in the au dience involuntary turned their heads toward the aisle indicated, Airs.

And now, my little man”—turning to Jack, whose face seemed suddenly to brighten up with the light ef anew idea—“what is your name!’ ‘Jack'asi’ triumphantly exclaimed the little urchin. A village pedagogue, in despair with a stupid boy, pointed to the letter A, and asked him if he knew it. ‘Yes, sir.’ ‘Well, what is it?’ I knows him very well by sight, sir —but drat me if I can remember his name.’ Johnnie says his reward for good behav ior is candy, and his punishment tor bad be havior is the rod; in which he discovers that while his punishment is a good licking, his reward is licking good.

She dreamed that a young man with a soft beard was pressing his face against hers; when she woke she found it was only the cat. Then she was mad. —Tho auctioneers and bargain-hunters in Philadelphia are rubbing their hands in gladsome expectation over extonded sales of furniture and other centennial traps, which will soon bo thrown upon the market by their owners who have no fur ther use for them.
