VKW KIHK HERALD OX THE CRISIS nsgra., IT SAYS RADICALS WILL NOT SUBMIT TO HAYES’ USURPATION. Washington, Nov. 24.—The New York Herald closes a long editorial thus : “The Republican party is not made up of rogues and Tombs law yers. It contains a great mass of honest, honorable, patriotic men, and these will not tolerate what would make them hang their heads with shame. They will not allow their leaders to resort to trickery, nor will they allow their candidates. Already the Republican opinion of the proceedings in the disputed States is such that it has become almost impossible DECENTLY TO COUNT in Gov. Hayes. Already the wisest Republicans say in conversation, that for the sake of their party they hope favorably for Mr. Tiiden’s re turns. As yet the honest Republican masses are waiting in silence, but with decreasing patience; but any further appearance of trickery or the least continuation of these attempts in the disputed States to take advantage of shallow legal tech nicalities, to resort to underhand and unworthy means, such as the recent hearing of testimony charg ing intimidation in which the Louis iana Returning Board has, it is said, been guilty, will give a determined voice to the smothered indignation or the Republloan party, who oaunot stand silent and seo themselves, and the good name of their party sold Into disgrace.” LOUISIANA COUNTING BOARD, WELLS SHOWS HIS HAND IS FULL. i Col. Zackarie Pushes the Came to 1 the Wall. One Flbhl Effort to Count us Out. New Orleans, Nov. 24.—The Can vassing Board and committee met to-day. Wells stated that he had received a communication from the Supervisor at Natchitoches stating that the names of Electors were omitted on the tickets, but thought it only nec essary to count Electors at Large and Electors for the fourth District. Col. Zackarie asked “whether the j returns could he corrected by out- I side testimony.” Wells answerod “It was uot testi mony, but the returns made by the ! Commissioners of Elections.” j Zackarie asked whether|the state ment wa9 in the returns when they were opened. Wells—No. Zaoharis-Can couusel forJthe Dem ocrats have an opportunity to con tradict the statement? Wells—The statement can only be contradicted by tho ballots them selves. Zackarie—Will tho ballots be sent for? Wells— They will be telegraphed for, but we will not delay the consid eration of the eae when it comes up. Personal application for the ad mittance of correspondents was re fused. Tho board la still undetermined regarding the fifth member. Gov. Wells announced tho court’s j answer to several appeals, and pro test that the rules of the board are not to be changed. The application for Democratic representation in clerical force was refused. The board then went into Execu tive session. New Orleans, Nov. 22,-Governor Wells announced that tho canvass of the Electoral vote must be completed by December 6th. Members of the political commit tees occasionally ask questions. Nrvipnprr Deports. We clip the following paragraphs from tho New Orleans „Democrat of Thursday: The following is the total vote | counted by the Returning Board to date: Ascension, Assumption. Avoyelles, Calcasieu, Cameron, St. Bernard, St. James, St. John the Baptist, St. Ma ry, St. Helena, Tensas, Terrebonne ; and Washington—l3 parishes—4 of i which are Democratic und 0 Repub lican.

Packard’s majority 5,784. It was hoped that Wells would abide by the decision made yesterday in the St. James case. In St. James thirty odd Democratic tickets had been voted, containing tho names of only three electors. No objection was made to this by the Democrats, and no attempt made to supply the names of the missing five. When, however, several parishes came up where this mistake had been made by the Radicals, as in Vermilion and Jackson, these parishes were laid over for future consideration aDd the determination by the Board of the question whether it can count in the names of all the electors merely be cause the ticket is headed "Hayes and Wheeler.” It is understood that Gen. Sheldon will insist on this and bring the question before Wells for settlement. Wells certainly has grown alarmed at the number of these three—electors ticket that have been voted not only in the Four teenth Senatorial District but in nearly every parish in the State. Meeting of Correspondents.—Con sequent upon the refusal of the Re turning Board to entertain the ap plication of the New York Herald correspondent for admittance at its sessions, there will be a meeting, this evening, in the Gentlemen’s Parlor of tne St. Charles Hotel, of the repre sentatives of all the leading North ern and Western papers now here. New York, Boston, Baltimore, Phil adelphia, Chicago. Cincinnati, St. Louis and other cities will be repre sented, and the whole United States will be made acquainted with the do ings of our star chamber. How Loni? the Count Will Last. New Orleans Special to the Cincinnati Commer cial.Jl It is not likely the count will be finished before the sth of December, which is the last day allowed by law. The talk about a compromise comes principally from dissatisfied Republicans. On Monday Republi cans of this class offered to bet one hundred to one that GeD. Nichols will be the next Governor. Although this may have been a bluff, it certain ly indicated the animus of the parties. Leading Democrats, from the first, have peremptorily declined any so lution of the Louisiana case which did not admit the election of the en tire Democratic and Conservative State ticket and the eight electors pledged to Tilden. Hendricks to Tilden. New York, Noy. 21.— The Evening News reports that Gov. Hendricks had a two hours’ interview with Gov. Tilden to-day, at whioh Congressman Hewitt, was present. COLUMBUS, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 25, 1876. FLORIDA NEWS. .. + ~..x €ov. strariiN Mums Himself. WHAT WK EXPECT FROM FLORIDA . Wpeeial to the Constitution.] Tallahassee, Fi.a., Nov. 23.—The ] argument of the injunction case against thoGoyornor was opened this morning at eleven o’oloek, and ad journed at three. Tho Governor’s counsel, all the way through, treated the Court with INSOLENT defiance, and tqld the Judge that an injunction | from him against the Governor would ! amount to nothing more than if it were Issued by a privato individual. Gen. Barlow asked the Judge how he would enforce his injunction after he had issued it; und said that if the I Sheriff went to arrest the Governor, and the Governor resisted, the Sher , iff would summon his posse, and tho , Governor would call upon the Presi ! dent to protect him with troops. It is quite evident that the Repub* licans do not intend to be bound by the decision of the Court. They will follow the load of their revolutionary colleagues iu South Carolina, and, with tho United States army at their back, laugh at tho edicts of courts, even though they come from the Su premo Bench. There is greet and increasing EXCITEMENT j here. If the Judge sustains his in | junction to-morrow, and the Governor | persists in disregarding it, the Dem ! ocrats will make up their case, with draw from this scene of aetioD, and appeal to A HIGHER AUTHORITY. Governor Brown will likely speak to-morrow. H. W. O. Fortifying Washington. Fortress Monroe, Nov. 24.— The ! | band of the Artillery school, twonty [ one pieces, left here to-day for Wash j ington.

THE DIABOLIC PLAN OP THE CON MPIIIATOR*. From th N. O'. Democrut, 23iL] I Thero never was so audacious and I elaborate a scheme of villiany as that i projected by Kellogg and his co-con spirators to defraud this State of her veto in tho recent election. People abroad, espeuiully Republicans, who i profess a great respect for the law, \ have not the faintest conception of ; even the leading features and facts of this conspiracy. For their bene fit we propose to present some of these in a succinct form. 1. It is assumed that the census and registration and the previous elections demonstrate a majority of colored people in the State, and that all tho colored voters must ho count ed as Republicans in intent, and if they did not vote, were prevented by fraud or intimidation, or if their votes were given io tho Democratic ticket, they must bo presutnod to have been given involuntarily and under the influence of fear. This presumption is the basis of their whole conspiracy. It over rides all other proofs and facts to the oontrury. It is the cardinal idoa and theory upon which the Returning Board is to operate through its ma nipulations of the returns. It is in vain that proof is offered to refute and disprove the presumption. Hun dreds and thousands of these negroes who are included in tho presumption and set down as Radicals may be brought forward to testify that they voted for the Democratic ticket vol untarily, and without the slightest intimidation or other improper influ ence. Their testimony is disregard ed and their votes must be counted out or presumed to huvo been given for tho Radical ticket. 2. While tho infamous law, under which tho Board acts, iu its reference to tho nullifying effect of intimida tion, contemplated the intention of such violence and intimidation on the day of election, and at or near the polls, yet there being not the slight est proof of any such fact, of violence or intimidation on that occasion and in those places, this presumption is authorized by any incident of vio lence or tumult which may have oc curred in the parish twelve month# be fore ! Tho lynching of a negro by a mob for attempting to poison a white fumjiy, or the whipping of a few ne groes for stealing hogs or seed cotton in districts wharo thero are no courts or State officials to prosecute and try crimes, are sufficient facts to justify the exclusion of the whole vote of a parish where these incidents may have occurred, months before the electioz, provkh'd the vote of such parish exhibits a majority for the Democrats. If tho majority is tho other way, there is no need of such exclusion, find the presumption is abandoned in 1 regard to such parish. Two thousand 1 men in East Feliciana are to be de- i nied their suffrage for President and : Vice President of the United Stutcs, j because John Gair was shot and a ne gro woman hung by a mob for the most terrible of crimes twelve months before the election day. But this rule, which admits of easy and complete application to a parish where the whole vote was given for the Democrats, becomes an incon venient and damaging one when ap plied to parishes where a large Radi cal vote was polled. It won’t do to lose that vote, how great soever may have been the alleged violence and intimidation in the parish where it was given. The next devieo wus to preserve the Radical majorities at their pre cincts, separating them from the Democratic proeincincts, so that the latter could bo excluded uud the former counted; and this is to be accomplished by applying the intim idation only to those precincts where the Democrats got their majorities. To carry out this plan the orders were for the negroes to concentrate at the precincts where the Democrats would probably give their majorities, to out vote them, and if other pre cincts, where they, the negroes, out numbered the whites, gave Demo cratic majorities, they could he counted out on the presumption based on the previous returns, the census and registration. Thus, in Ouachita, the negroes in a body tramped from remote parts of the parish to Monroe, which they have charged to be the headquarters of bulldozer ism, and there voted, giv ing a Radical majority at that poll, whilst the polls in the country, where they had previously voted, ex hibited large Democratic majorities. The latter are to be counted out on the intimidation ground, but the Radical majority at Monroe must be counted in, though it is alleged by the Radicals there were great dis turbances at Monroe and everything was free and peaceful at the country precincts. Thus through all the “bulldozed parishes” it is proposed to apply this absurd and dishonest rule, by pick ing out all the Democratic precincts and counting them out on tho pre text of violence and intimidation in any part of the parish, and counting in the Radical precincts, though they may be in tho very locality wJhere such intimidation is alleged to have existed. Thus all the Democratic majorities are to be destroyed and tho Radical majorities to be counted. The Dem ocratic majority is too large to be eliminated by the simple process of counting out tho majori ties of the parishes whero intimida tion is presumed. It must be further reduced by counting in the solid Radical vote in those parishes. This is the diabolic scheme which Kellogg and his gang have coneoot ed, and which the Returning Board is to carryout. It is the only mode by which" they can possibly offset and destroy the majority for the Democrats. And this is the plan of gigantic and unparalleled fraud and villianv which President Grant has sent two thousand soldiers and three ships of war to this city to embolden four uuscrupulous partisan loots, so characterized by the Congress of the United States and by the Republican candidate for the Vice Presidency, to carry out. A happy and proud man will be the victorious Mr. Ilayes, seated in the chair once occupied by George Washington, which he has reached through viiliany. ■0 • ■ Fire Work*. 200 boxes Fire Crackers. 50 gross Roman Candles. 50 dozen Rockets.

It appears that the Supreme Court of Oregon has already had occasion to pass upon the question which threatens to make a vacancy in its Electoral Board. The case was this : In 1868, a person holding the posi tion of United States Surveyor Gen eral wus voted for as an Elector. About a week after his tdection he resigned his position as a United States official. 'File Governor of" Oregon refused to commission him, holding that he was ineligible for the reasons given. The Supreme Court granted a rule upon the Governor to show cause why a mandamus should not issue compelling him to sign fne commis sions. ‘ ' u ' The case was one which attracted wide attention. The Court ruled that the Governor was right. It said that “tho election of an elector is his appointment. The Constitu tion of the United States forbids the appointment to the office of Elector any person holding another govern ment office.” The opinion conclu ded as follows; “The mode of can vassing the vote, and tho proclama tion of the Governor, are substantial ly only modes of ascertaining and publishing the result of the vote.” [MeWtiirter vs. Brainard, sth Oregon Report.] Minnesota.
