LARGEST CIRCULATION
In the rmnllfl ■ d
Thb Districts of
FloridadgpfeoWaM that thl First
embraces both Pensacola and Key
West, stretching ucross the entire
State from the extreme west to
4he extreme south, and includ
ing" aft the counties on the
Gtttf coast. The length OT Ihis Dis
trict we suppose to lp? five hundred
miles.
Tire Radicals havo now made the
charge that five or six of the Tllden
Electors from the Southern States
are Ineligbla because their political
disabilities have not boen removed.
They do not name the Elector*, and
we do not believe that they can name
them. Bot even if they should find
that some have not had their “disa
bilities” removed by act of Congress,
the qualifications of an Elector are
prescribed by the Constitution, and
no legislation can add to them.
Dr.jjCbaa. K. Owens communicates to
the Macon Tcleffrnph the following di
agnoses of croup and diphtheria, hy
which they may he distinguished:
Croup is ushered in by cold and cough,
attended by a rapid formation of a pseudo
or pellicular membrane; is increased by
changes in the atmosphere; is not catch
ing; comes on suddenly; known by croak
ing voice; docs not affect the general
health; occurs most often in children; mny
occur many times in the same children'
Diphtheria is ushered in by a chill, at
tended by a rapid formation of white
patches; does not become altered by nt
mospherw changes; decidedly, is con
taglous; comes on by degrees; docs not af
fect the voice in the beginning; is exces
sively prostrating; adults are quite ns
liable to have it as children; very seldom
occurs more than once in the same per
son. f ' ' ri * ‘
The telegraph gave us the official
count of the vote of Pennsylvania In
the Presidential election, yesterday.
It was a very heavy vote-80,000
larger than over before polled in the
State. In Philadelphia, particularly,
there Is much reason to suspect
fraud, as it cast a larger vote than
New York city. Hayes’ majority
was nearly 18,000 in the State, and
nearly that large iu Philadelphia.
In the Congressional vote the Repub
licans have 10,150 majority, the vote
aggregating as follows: Republican,
379,488; Democratic, 369,338; scatter
ing, 5,249. Owing to outrageous ger
rymandering, the Democrats elect
but ten out of twenty-seven mem
bers. In eight Districts the Demo
crats have 45,610 majority. Tho next
Legislature will stand as follows:
House, 83 Democrats and 118 Repub
licans; Senate, 20 Democrats and 30
Republicans.

“H. W. G.”, the special correspon
dent of the Atlanta Constitution at
Tallahassee, after telegraphing the
decrees of the Circuit Court mention
ed In our dispatches yesterday, says:
The Democrats are very much en
couraged over their victory.
The Republicans are badly demor
alized. They did not suspect that
proceedings had boon instituted un
til papers of theCoqrt were served on
them. They are in a flutter, and tho
moro desperate are advising the Gov
ernor that he is above tho roach of an
injunction, and should disregard It.
He says he has not made up his mind
as to what eourse be will pursue. This
is the situation; Tho Democrats havo
the legal majority, and have an unas
sailable defence of their majority. It
now appears that they will get a fair
hearing. There is no doubt that the
Governor did intend to usurp tho
functions of the board, and would
have issued the certificates, ere this,
had he imagined the Democrats were
before the courts. Joe Brown is a
very smart iau.
In a report upon Louisiana affairs
presented to Congress by William A.
Wheeler, George F. Hoar and Wm.
P. Frye, February 23, 1875, the action
of the Returning Board of 1874, which
was the same as the present one, is
SeVcfely crlticised. Mail Carpenter’s
doctrine that the function of that
body is a .purely ministerial one, is
pushed to the extreme limit. The
report says:
"It never could have been meant
that this Board, of its own motion,
sitting in New Orleans, at a distance
from the place of voting, and without
notice, could decide the right of per
sons claiming to be elected. The
Board took a different view of its
powers, and proceeded to throw out
the votes from many polls where
they found intimidation and violence
to have existed. The result was to
defeat persons whom, on the returns,
they should have declared to have
been elected, and to elect persons
who should not havo been declared
elected.”
The Presidential vote of Louisiana
was rejected in 1873, for reasons
which would be good now if the Kel
logg government should alter the
returns. Asa matter of interest at
this time, we copy the wording of the
protest of Mr. Carpenter, which was
sustained by the Republican Senate.
Mr. Carpenter himself supported
Grant and Wilson. When Louisiana
was catted, Mr. Carj>enter rose and
said:
“I object to the counting of the
votes given tor U. S. Grant for Presi
dent and Henry Wilson for Vice Pres
ident, by the Electors of Louisiana,
because there Is no proper return of
votes cast by tbe Electors of the State
of Louisiana, and because there is no
State government in said State which
is republteau iu form, and because
no canvass or counting of the votes
cast for Electors in the State of Lou
isiana at the election held in Novem
ber last had been made prior to the
meeting of the Electors.”
By the canvass which Mr. Carpen
ter declared to be lacking, he meant
a canvass of the means by which tbe
so-called government of Louisiana
had decided the eleetiou of the Grant
and Wide on EUNMMw.
P IKIJAWEXTARY UIIIICI LTIEM.
Ex-Senator Gwinn, in the interview
of which wo copied a report yester
day, expressed tho opinion that
when tho fraudulent votes of Florida
and Louisiana are gpened the House
will object “aud they must, be thrown
out”; that tfils would leave neither
candidate with a majority of tho
rotes, and the House must proceed,
i according to the Constitution, to
elect a President. This is the Dem
ocratic view, ail It is baaed upon a
continued observance of the joint
rule of 18(15 (tho 22d). There Is very
good ground for Insisting that this
rule is still In force, though not
formally re-adopted by the pres
ent Congress. It was passed by
the concurrence of both houses, and
as It related to a matter not belong
ing to the ordinary business of a
particular Congress, and In fact not
coming at all before some Congress
es, but occurring after the expira
tion of their terms, it Is apparent
that it must take the concurrent
action of both houses to repeal
it. Bueh concurrent action has not
been had. The rule was adopted by
the Congress of 1873, to regulate the
counting of tho Presidential vote of
1870 (for there was no prior election
to which It could apply), and of course
it then took the shape of a law, to
remain In force until repealed by the
concurrence of the two houses which
passed it. Whether it was a constitu
tional rule or not is another question
—a question for the courts to deter
mine. Until repealed or pronounced
unconstitutional, It would seem to
be the rule once adopted for the
counting of the Electoral votes of
1876,
But the Republicans say that the
President of the Senate, not recog
nizing the rule, will refuse to enter
tain an objection, aud refuse to sus
pend the call in the event of the re
tirement of a majority of the House
of Representatives. This Interposes
an obstacle to the carrying out of the
programme outlined by Mr. Gwinu.
We had been considering this ques
tion befere tho appearance of Mr.
Gwinn’s remarks, and regarded it of
so much importance that in conver
sations we requested the opinions
upon it of each of the four gentlemen
of this city who have been Represen
tatives in Congress. They differ
somewhat in their views, and we
briefly present both opinions. One
is that the two houses, and not the
presiding officer, control the proceed-
Ings of the joint session; that his
is the ministerial duty of open
ing the electoral votes; that the
tellers of the two houses will do the
counting or announcement of the
votes; and that the judicial power of
passing upon their regularity de
volves upon the two houses; that
the two bodies take no joint vote on
any question, and either can suspend
the count and retire. The other
opinion is that the joint session will
be held at a particular time in ac
cordance with the requirement of
the Constitution; that it must re
main in session, either continuous
ly or from day to day, until the
work is completed which the consti
tution imposes upon such session;
that the presiding officer must de
cide all questions of order; that the
retirement of the Democratic mem
bers of the House, though a majori
ty of that body, would not be regard
ed as a breaking of the joint session;
that the law presumes that a majori
ty of eaoh Houso remains to com
plete the business commenced, apd
no notico would be taken of the re
tirement of the Democratic members.
It follows that if the Democratic
House should pursue the course indi
cated in one of these opinions, and
the Republican Senate Bhould be
governed by the other view of the
Sueatlon. there would be two Presi
ents declared elected—one by the
joint session (or what remaiued of
it), and the other by the House.
The huppl? or Hogs.
On account of the alarming preva
lence of the disease among swine in
this State, and iu lowa and Illinois,
which is popularly termod tho “bog
cholera,” it is difficult to form any
idea which is approximately correct
in regard to the number to be mar
keted, as compared with the hog crop
of last year. From the best informa
tion at present obtainable, we incline
to the opinion that hogs that are
marketed early will be likely to bring
the most remunerative prices the
present season. That, however, de
pends, to some extent at least, upon
the weather, and the prospects of the
foreign demand, and the extent to
which tho hog cholera prevails in the
sections where it now prevails. Far
mers will, of course, be inclined to
feed as long as possible, aud it is not
improbable, therefore, that the sup
ply in December and January will be
greater than it is during the present
month. Many incline to the opinion
that although weights will be light
iu the southwest, yet there are in
number—especially in Nebraska—
nearly twice as many hogs as there
were in that State at this date last
year. It is evident that packers will
proceed rather cautiously at the
opening of the'packing season, not
withstanding money seems to be
plenty in bank, at fair rates, and
available on first-class security.
From the general outlook we in
cline to the opinion that the present
season will boa reasonably favorable
one for both tho farmers and the
packers, although a great deal of
uncertainty exists in the minds of the
latter class In reference to the proba
ble foreign demand.— St. Louis Jour,
of Com.
The New York Tribune makes some
remarkable statements about the
money bet iu the election “pools”
in New York city. We copy its ar
ticle elsewhere. Its proposition that
the Commissioners of Charities
should seize and appropriate the
money is a strange one to come from
a paper of the Tribune's boasted
square dealing. The Graphic sec
onds the Tribune’s motion. We re
gard it as significant that the propo
sition to seize the money thus de
posited comes from papers that sup
ported Mr. Hayes. Does it not indi
cate that they expect their party
friends to lose the money in any
event?

Tlic Florida Flection Faw.
The News and Courier gives the
law of the Florida Returning Board.
It says that from an examination of
the Florida Statutes (chapters 1,625
aud 1,868) it appears that the powers
of tho Board of State Canvassers
there are considerably lurger than
those of the South Carolina Board.
As in that State, the votes are first
counted in public at the noils, and
then publicly canvassed by the coun
ty board of canvassers. This county
board, however, consists, not of com
missioners appointed by the Gov
ernor, but of the County Judge, the
County Clerk and a Justice of the
Peace. The result of this canvass is
recorded in his office by the Clerk,
and copies sent, one to the Governor
and one to the Secretary of State.
Section 4, chapter 1,868, regulates the
canvass by the State Board of the
returns received by the Secretary of
State. It reads as follows :
"On the thirty-fifth day after the
holding of any general or special
election for any State officer, mem
ber of the Legislature or Representa
tive in Congress, or sooner if the re
turns shall have been received from
the several counties wherein elec
tions shall have been held, the Secre
tary of State, Attorney General and
the Comptroller of Publio Accounts,
or any two of them, together with
any otner member of the Cabinet who
may be designated by them, shall
meet at the office of the Secretary of
State pursuant to notice to be given
by the Secretary of State, and form a
Board of State Canvassers, and pro
ceed to canvass the returns of said
election, and determine and declare
who shall have been elected to any
suoh office, or as such member, as
shown by such returns. If any such
returns shall be shown or shall ap
pear to be so irregular, false or fraud
ulent that the Board shall be unable
to determine the true vote for any
such office or member, they shall so
certify, and shall notiuolude such re
turn in their determination aud dec
laration, aud the Secretary of State
shall preserve and file in his office all
suoh returns, together with such
other documents and papers as may
have been received by him or by
said Board of Canvassers. The said
Board shall make and sign a certifi
cate. containing in words written at
full length the whole number of votes
given for each office, the number of
votes given for each person for etich
office, and for members of the Legis
lature, and therein declare the re
sult, which certificate shall be recor
ded in the office of the Secretary of
State in a book kept for that purpose,
and the Secretary of State shall cause
a certified copy of such certificate to
be published once in one or more
newspapers printed at the seat of gov
ernment.”
Words iu italics apply to members
of the Legislature and Governor as
well as to State officers. Nothing is
said as to the votes for Electors for
the offices of President and Vice
President, but as all the officers com
posing the Board of State Canvassers
are Republicans, it is probable that
should the decision come before them
they will go to any length allowed by
public opinion at the North.
Gov. Hawley, who was defeated for
Congress in Connecticut, gives, in his
paper, the Hartford Courant , a part
ing kick at Zach Chandler. He says:
"Tho Republican party has had
many loads to carry during the cam
paign, not the least of which was the
presence of Mr. Zachariah Chandler
as Chairman of the National Com
mittee. * * * * He obtained the
position against the wishes of the
best men of the party, and by secur
ing committee men from the far
Western States and Territories, and
from the Southern States. His pres
ence undoubtedly cost the party very
many votes.”
