LARGEST dfedfrLATION
la Ur fmllM t<wU l and Tratlll
at to! ii a bur.
It is remarkable how many close
raoes there wore for Congress in the
elections of this month. Not less
Hum half a dozen Representatives
were elected by loss than flTty ma
jority each. Itls now jtwt announc
ed that the official vote of the 18th
11 Itaois district shows the olectlon of
of Hartzell, l>em., by a majority of
20.
A special from Washington, iioth,
to the Cincinnati Enquirer, says;
General Butler was here to-day. He
hod a long conference with Cialeb
Cushing, and subsequently was
closeted with Secretary Robeson for
no hour or two. He is of the opinion
that if all the disputed Southern
States are counted for Hayes that the
House will object to the reception of
the Totes of Alabama and Mississip
pi,; and the end will be that the Pres
ident will not be chosen by the 4th
of March, and that the President of
the Senate, whoever he may be, wil
become the President.
H. V, Redfieli), the Republican
correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial, communicates to that, iiper
what Capt.Baseom,the Federal officer
in command In West Feliciana (one
of the parishes of Louisiana over
which the Radicals raise the cry oi
intimidation) says about It: “Ho says
the election in that parish was as free
and fair as any ever witnessed. He
says if that parish can be thrown out
any county in the United States can.
The Democrats carried it by 800 ma
jority. By joining black olubs, by
argument and appeal, the whites won
the blacks by kindness and persua
sion, and not by force. Oapt. Bus
corn Is an Ohio man.”
Atlanta Journalism.— The Contti
futfon announces that Mr. J. 0. Har
ris, the well known paragraphist,
iato of the Savannah New#, is perma
nently attached to Its editorial staff.
He will be quite an addition to the
paper.
The Commonwealth has been dis
continued, and Col. Styles, its editor
and proprietor, has united with 8. W.
Small and B. W. Smith to publish a
new evening daily called the Tele
gram. It will appear immediately.
These gentlemen make a very strong
newspaper team, and there Is no
doubt wharever that they will get
up an able and newsy paper. We
wish them successs.
Thk New Orleans Bemoorat of
Wednesday gives the uction' of the
Returning Board on Irregularities at
several precincts. The most impor
tant of its dectstous was on the fol
lowing case: In the ninth poll in
Bt. James the Democrats, through
an error, voted for only three Elec
tors—Wlckllffe and McEnery, the
electors at largo, and Poehe, tho
elector for thatdistrict. Some thirty
votes were thus lost for live Demo
cratic electors. The Board refused
to oount the names of the missing
electors, and thus have established a
precedent that they will be compell
ed to follow fa the case of the Radi
cal votes in the Fourteenth Senato
rial District.
jg . --•-<
The Troops at Washington.— Not
withstanding official denials of any
party or political object in the move
ment, troops continue to he sent to
Washington, and we are told that
they will etay there nntil the Ith of
March, when, Gen. Grant says, they
will be needed as an escort to the
new president—to make a customary
military display on the occasion 1
A Washington special gives a cur
rent report of tho immediate object
of the concentration. The Demo
crats have resolved to have a ratifi
cation meeting and torchlight pro
oWffttoh on the 29th Inst., in honor of
the election of Tilden. Some of the;
Radical officials fear that they will
attempt to get possession of the De
partments of the Government, and
troops are intended to overawe or re
sist them!
t VOTHF.It OBJECT OF THE COIWPI
-
It Is,evident that the Radicals are
aiming to cut down, if not to entirely
overcome, the Democratic majority
in the lower house of Congress, by
the frauds of the Radical canvassing
boards in the South. They will try
to gain in this way two members in
Florida, two or three in Louisiana,
and perhaps one in South Garoiina.
That their arrangements and con
spiracy contemplate the fraudulent
acquisition of a sufficient number to
entirely overoome the fair Democrat
ic majority in the House, is presuma
ble from the fact that unless they
thus secure a clear majority the
House will reject the members re
turned by the frauds of the canvass-
iD# boards.
One instance o£ the sharp practice
by which they are operating in this
way is to bo found in the 4th District
of Louisiana. In this District Judge
Khun, Dem., has been elected by a
majority of over seven hundred, ac
cording to authentic reports of the
several parishes. But there was a
delay in forwarding the official re
turns, which was unaoountabie until
George L. Smith, the Radical candi
date for Congress in the District, ar
rived in New Orleans on Tuesday
last, and stated tbat he had in his
possession the official returns from
nine of the parishes! Seals© stated
that they differed so much from the
newspaper reports of their votes as
to elect him, by a flMjgrity of 1,300!
or course, if be oaa get hisreturn*
emi/ited he will-secure the scat.
WITH CAROLINA.
THE OUTRAGEOUS ACTION QJfTHK CAN
VASSINh BOARD.
| The unparalleled trick by which
t lie Bottfd of Canvasser* of South Car
olina nullified the orders of the Su
tPSftmoOourt of tlot Stole, only af
fords another proof of the cfetormlua
tion of their party to secure a major
ity of the Electoral vote for Euyos
ut all hazards and in contempt of all
constitutional obstacles. Its audaci
ty certainly supports the presump
tion that it was diotated from Wash
ington, The Supremo Court, whoso
orders the board thus set at deilanoe,
is composed wholly of Republicans,
and tho prior submission of the
question of its powers to the
Court was made in the cond
deuce that the court would
act in the same partisan spirit
as that which actuated the Board.
When the £ found that the Court was
not working in harmony with their
scheme, they denied its jurisdiction,
detled its authority and at
tempted to nullify it* deorees. The
claim of the New York Time#
that the Board was a trlbifnal
with judicial powers, and com
mitted an error in at first per
mitting the Court to exercise a part
of its powers, is au assumption with
out proof. Its judicial power was
the question in dispute, and it was
submitted to theSuprerao Court. To
what other tribunal could it have
beeuj submitted? and what tribunal
has tho power to reverse a judgment
of the Supreme Court on a q uestlon
of law?
There will now, doubtless, be two
State governments set up in South
Carolina, just as thero was in Louis
iana two or three years ago. If the
people of South Carolina are left to
settle this matter for themselves,
thero is no question as to how they
will settle it, notwithstanding the
possession by the Chamberlain party
of all tho organized resources and
strength of the State. But Federal
intervention will be invoked to sus
tain the outrage, and an important
question now is, which party will it
uphold? In the Louisiana similar
case, Gen. Grant justified his inter
ference by the plea that he acted in
support of the decree of a court; and
in the Arkansas case, the party whioh
he supported had no other claim
than an order of the Repub
lican Supreme Court of the State.
The President, in these notable in
stances. took the ground that in a
conflict betweon contending political
parties in a State, the judgments and
decrees of the judicial tribunals must
be supported by the authority of the
United States. Will he take the same
course now ? If so, there can be no
doubt as to the result. But consist
ency is not a notable characteristic
of Gen. Grant when the interests of
his party are likely to be damaged
by it.
This South Carolina trick only
quickens our apprehension that by
similar or equally iniquitous means
the Electoral votes of Louisiana and
Florida will be counted for Hayes.
Wo are convinced of this because the
South Carolina fraud would bo un
availing without the securing of
Louisiana and Florida also, and it
was too daring and unscrupulous a
proceeding to be resorted to without
some object commensurate with its
turpitude and rascality.

. Tbe Ineligible Elector*.
Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, Diet,]
A reporter of the Chronicle and
Sentinel conversed with , Hon. T. M.
Norwood, United States Senator from
Georgia, in reference to the political
status yesterday.
Reporter What is your opinion
about the Vermont and Oregon post
masters who were on the Republican
Electoral Ticket?
Mr. Norwood—l am clearly of the
opinion that the votes cast for them
were so many votes thrown away.
The language' of the Constitution is
plain. It says that no man shall be
appointed to the position who holds
an office of trust or profit under the
United States. The word appointed
means elected, for the terms lu this
connection are interchangeable.—
Resigning the offioe of trust
or profit afterwards makes no dif
ference. The votes cast for the party
thus ineligible are absolutely thrown
away. Decisions open this very
point have been made by Judge
Fields, in California, and by the Su
preme Court tn Oregon. The case of
John Young Brown, who was elected
Representative from Kentucky be
fore he had attained the age of
twenty-five, is cited as an instance on
the other side. But tho Constitution
says simply that no mau shall be a
representative who shall not have
attained the age of twenty-five years.
It does not say that he shall not be
elected to the position—for it has
been decided that it is not an office
before he has attained to the age of
twenty-five. So John Young Brown
simply sat down and waited until he
was twenty five and then took his seat.
The Vermont Legislature proposes, I
understand, to pass an enabling act, so
iliat the vacancy there can be filled.
That Legislature is Republican, and of
course would elect a llayes elector. If
the Vermont Legislature can do this the
Oregon Legislature can pursue the same
course. But the Oregon Legislature is
Democratic, and would select a Tilden
elector. This, giving Hayes all that the
Republicans now claim, would give Til
den 185 and Hayes 184. Leaving out both,
Tliden would still have a majority. I
am perfectly satisfied that Mr. Tilden is
elected, and will be inaugurated next
March. If I was not I would be a miser
able man.
Spanish News.
Madkid, Nov. 23.— A dispatch to the
Daily News says the Spanish Govern
ment is determined to execute the men
who seized the steamer Montezuma, when
ever captured.
Armed vessels will convoy merchant
vessels in Cuban waters. Meantime
the powers have assented to this arrange
ment.
The marriage between King Alfonso
and the daughter of Duke DeMontpen
sier is now reported definitely arranged.
Thk majority for Tilden io Ken
tucky is 61,993. In Georgia hi* ma
jority will exceed 80,000. Texas is
I yet to hear from.

lately wanted to rur. against Hon. B. H.

elected and as fairly as American
methods allow. He thinks that he will be

a pretty goocj parliamentarian, and his
opinion Is worth something If tho squab
ble goes Into Congress.
HON. 11. 11. IIILL S IPKK( H.
From the Athens Watchmen, 21 t.)
By special Invitation, the Hon. B.
H. Hill addressed our citizens on
Wednesday night, from the balcony
of the Newton House. There was a
very large crowd in attendance, both
on Broad street and College Avenue,
while numbers of ladles graced the
occasion by their presence on tho bal
cooy and in the interior of tho hotel.
He commenced by saying that un
der tho peculiar circumstances of the
case there was much that he wished
to say,which it would not be proper
to utter at this time. He gave his
hearers a succinct statement of the
status of affairs -showing that Tilden
had unquestionably obtained 184
Electoral votes, lacking only one of
the Constiutional majority, while in
South Carolina, Florida and Louis
iana, casting lit Electoral votes, there
was a dispute about the count—that
while Tilden lacked onhj one to be
elected, Hayes must secure all of the
19 to give him a majority. He then
referred to the “Returning Board” in
the contested states—showing the
great temptation held out to
them and how ready they were to fall
into temptation, but expressed the
hope that Inasmuch as the whole
American people were intently watch
ing them, a fair count might be had.
Our tree institutions are undergoing
a crucial test, said Mr. H. If the peo
ple, after fairly electing a President,
should suffer his inauguration to be
prevented by chicanery and fraud,
they thereby proclaim to all man
kind they are Incabablo of self gov
ernment. The country is in a groat
crisis, and never to tho history of free
governments hud a parallel ease oc
curred. He advised his hearers to
keep cool, and watch autl wait hope
ful of a peaceful solution.
Referring to the late contest, he
said that tho 7th of November, 1870,
would mark an epoch in our history
more important than any other day
since the landing of Columbus. On
that, day the Union had been re
stored—a Union of consent and not
of force—the right of local self-gov
ernment had been re-established
the bloody chasm had been bridged,
and tho people had,by an overwhelm
ing popular majority, demanded ad
ministrative reform, and determined
to turn out the rogues and rascals.
It was a proud era in our national
history and inspired fresh hope in
tho breasts of the friends of liberty
and a renewed confidence in tho
prosperity of our institutions.
He conjured his hearers to'cling to
the Union under all circumstances
it was the sheet anchor of safety.
The Southern people had been mis
understood on this subject. They
had never been disunionists per tie.
Even the secessionists left it only
when satisfied they could not get
their rights. They did not object to
the Union, but to its perversion to
aid in the accomplishment of unlaw
ful objects. He referred to his reply
to Blaine. “We are in the Union
again. We are in our father’s house,
and we are there to stay.” Ho said
this utterance fell like a bomb shell
in the Radical camp. Let us through
thick and thin cling to the Union,
my countrymen, and all will be well.
He exhorted the whites to exercise
forbearance and charity to tho col
ored race, to be patient and not to
expect too much, that the time is
coming when they will see it is their
interest to vote with us.
Addressing the blacks, he told them
that he had never deceived them and
should never do so; that he had
learned that their leaders had led
them to believe that if the Democrats
were successful they would be re-en
alaved and the ballot taken away
from them. He assured them this
was false; that they would enjoy
every privilege under the laws that
they now do, when the Democratic
administration comes into power;
and. ao far as the right to vote is con
cerned, that although the Democrats
opposed it at first, they would insist
upon it hereafter, in view of the fact
that it enabled the “solid South,”
with a little outside aid, to carry the
Presidential election and control the
lower house of Congress. He took
great pains to show them how this
was effected, assuring them that ne
gro suffrage had been instrumental
in electing Tilden, and that but for
it their man Hayes would have been
elected President; closing with the
pertinent inquiry, put in his peculi
arly incisive style, "Ain’t you sorry
! you got to vote ?”
He wound up his address to tho
colored portion of the crowd that
there was two great facts that they
must learn—First; That no man
can obtain an honest living without
work of some kind. (“ That’ so,”
emphatically responded an old
darkey.) After elaborating this fact,
he stated that “No man, white or
black, can enjoy real freedom with
out obedience to law.” “That’s so,”
again responded the old man. He
then showed them that largo num
bers of their race had found their
way to the penitentiary through idle
ness and disobedience to law.
“Plenty more ought to be tbar,”
shouted the old man. The colored
people seemed to receive In the prop
er spirit the advice Mr. H. gavetnem.
In conclusion, he referred to the
future of Georgia—the bright prom
ise of the coming great ness and pros
parity of tho noble old Common
wealth.
The whole discourse was well
timed and well received—a plain,
practical, sensible talk—no attempt
at oratory or declamation. It was
too grave an occasion for anything of
that sort.
