It is impossible that the present clection- cxcitement shonld not extend to the pulpit itself, nnd form the subjeot of carnest dis. courses to interested listenors. The Rov.

Thoevident prepore of tlieleaders of the radlcal party to dispuie tho election of TrLoEx if it turncd upon the vates of Loulalana, South Carolinn, or Plorida, has ex- cited snch {ntense feeling, not only in this city, ‘ot throughont the whole conntry, that it was with good reason feared that a clvil wear might ba pre« cipilated at any hour,—Cincinnatl Enguirer's New York special. This is a sample of tho incendiary matter which, with reckless indifforence to the con- sequences, hns, during the past fow days, beon published by the Democratic pross, to work the public feeling up to fover-heat. There has beon no manifestation of any such design s the Enguirer attributes to the Republican party, President Gravr but gnvo utterance to the sontiment of the party when, in his dispateh to Gen. SBuenaaw, he sald: “The country caunot afford to have the result tainted by suspicion of illegal or false roturns.” The Republican press of tho country Las nnited in demnnding, as tho #ine qua non, that there bo an honest count of the honest vote, no matter whethor it elects TrpEN or Havrs; nnd that which- over itdoes elect shall bo inducted into office. That demand i indorsed by tho great mass of the people, Domocrats as well as Ropub- licnns ; and nothing is clearer now than. that any nttempt to ket nside the result of ah lionest count of tho honest vote will not Lo tolerated. It bing been reserved for Demo- cratic organy like the Zaquirer, by the pub- lication of such incondiary articles, to fur- nish tho solo ground there was for appre- hension of revolutionary proceedings. 'The people are, howover, in no mood to tolerate the Mexicanizing of the United States, and none will daro attempt it. The courso of the Enquirer andother Democratic papers, in de- claring civil war imminent, was simply o reckless paltoring with public eredit, calen- Inted to bring about a financial crisis, hndnot the populnr dotermination to maintain tho integrity of Govornment by the ballot beont o forcibly and unmistaknbly expressod that even copital, tho most timid of all things, could feel no alarm, as is proved by the money-market quotations. RO ] THE LOVISIANA MUDDLE, 1If wo can got at the dificulty in Lonisinna correetly, the dispute is chiefly over five par- ishes or counties, and whother tho roturns of these sboll be counted at all, or, if counted, how they shall be counted. 1t is nlleged that theso five parishes had a large rogistorad vole, three-fifths or two- thirds of which was Republican ; Lut that on clection-day the greater part of tho colored Itopublicaus, being itimidated by the White- Liners, ran off and did not vote, while the Confederatos remained and voted. ‘The fol- lowing figures will illustrate the situation, which giva the result of the vote in 1874 ns well a3 in 1876, Tho 1874 vote wassaid fo be {full and fair for both sides: .

Felicluna, BOL w0 406 Duton Koy b7 AT 1) 600 FNI it 1,074 1,07 8,185 4,417 At tho lection in 1874 these parishes gave o Republicau majority for Stato Tronsurer of 8,861, They now give a Demoerntic majority of 4,117, which oxcoeds the Democratic voto cast in 1874, ‘The Domocrats sdmit that, had the Republican voto beon polled, tho Republicans would have hod a large majori- | ty. Now the controversy stands: Op the one hand the Domocrats insist on the vote being counted in exact necordance with the number of tickets cast; on the other hand, thero aro two propositions: 1. That the vote of these parishes bo wholly disregarded and thrown out, on the grounds of iutimida- tion, by the Canvassing Bonrd. £ ‘That the vote polled be counted, but that the Can. vassing Board reckon also as polled the votes of thoso absenting themselves from fear of bodily harm. T'he averagoe Northern voter has no precedent for such n condition of things s this, In the first place, deadly in. timidation is not known at the North, and in the npext placo it will be difficult for a Northern man of any party to understand how 2,000 voters of one party in aconnty canbo so auccessfully *‘intimidated” by 1,000 a4 to bo unable to approach the polls, though the Intter were protected, or supposed to bo, by tho United Statos Supervisors. It will be difficult to persuade the people of nny Northern county that the minority, number- iug 900 voters, could so intimidate the mea- jority in East Feliclans, numbering 1,800, that none of the latter dare show thomsclves ot tho polle. Rovertholoas, it is cortain that the negrovs did not vote for some reason. Wo assume that those who did voto wore legal votors, and know of no right recog- nized by nny law of any State whero tho votos of lognl votors, lawfully polled, can be rejocted and thoy disfrauchised. Wa do not bolieve, therefore, that tho moral sonse of tho Amorican people will cousent to or tolerate that tho election of n Prosi- dont of the Unitod Statos shnll bo do. tormined and decided by throwing out the votes of several thousands of logal voters, lugally polled, in any State of the Union. Wo take it, thorefore, that the votes notually polled fn theso five * bulldozed” parishes of Louisinua will be counted, no mattor what way Lo tho result produced upon the eloc. tion by so doing, It tho facts bo as stated, und wo havo tried to collate them fairly from the statemonts of both sides, tho RRepublicans of Lonisiana and of the country havo to bear tho consequences of tho panio which seems tohavesostricken the colored voters in these five distyicts, Wo look upon it wi i calawity, bocause wo know of no legal remedy. 'Thero i4 no procedont known to any election law (hat wo avor heard of whera tho votes of persons not voting, sud not offering to vote, can bo counted, no wattor low strong may bo the pre- samption that it such voles had been polled they would have changed the yesult, In 1874 tho Domocrats clocted at least fifty members of Congresy in opublican dis- tricts because Republicans wtayod away and did not vote. For the same renson the Domo- crats cleoted the Governors of sovernl States ‘tho voto of that State. " THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: MONDAY, ‘NOVEMBER 13, 1876 and a majority of the Legislnture in several Btates in 1874, No such thing na offsetting the voto notunily polled by that not polled hins over heen recognized b any election in nuy State in this conntry. Even in the des. perato conflict in Louisiana four years ago Loth parties claimed tha election, bt both partivs nssumed tho voto counted to have been polled. It Is claimed by the Democrats that their porty will have n mnjority of the whole vote of the Btato, over and above their voto in these parislies ; bul, whilo this ought to settle the mntter, it may not do so, if tho connting of the non.polled vote bo insisted upon by the other side, 1f, owaver, the Democraty do not have a majority excopt by counting tho votes in theso five parishes, and the re- sult in the Slate depend on their boing counted or not connted, then the issue will bo n direct ono, and ono upon which the conntry will promptly reach a judgmout,and no Canvassing Board will daro attempt to put the judgment of the nntion nt defiance; and tho American peoplo will never ongngo in n civil war to upliold the counting of votes never cast or offered to bo cast, or to reject lawful votes legally cast aud recorded on the poll.lists, AN ILLINOIS EXTREMIST, Ex-Gov. Jony M. Paraen, of this State, is on his way to Louisinnn s one of the ropro- nontatives of Mr. TILDEN at the canvass of If he hns been cor- reetly reported in an interviow held with bim'nt Louisville, most peoplo will concede that he had better remained at home. This ir what heis nlleged to have said concerning tho dispatch of troops to Louisiaua and Florida : If UnaNT were o statesman, be ought®o be im- poached and deposcd” from his place for fsaniui thoso orilers; but, A it s GraxT, unbady expressos mnch surprise, (iaNT hns one feading idea of the Guvernment, and that Is, that he and the army aro the only power i this country, and that they nre an entire aufliclency, 1o docs not kuow or care for constitutionat Nmits. 'Tobe brief, he lsnot responsible. Wo suspect that Paracn made the state- mout nttributed to him. It sounds very much likohim, He is an oxtremist In every- thing that relates to the subject of Btates' rights, 'There {5 not a Bourbon in all the land, not n fire-eater in the Houth, not a Rebel who held offico under the Confederacy, who will go further in this regard than Joax AL Fawyer, He is a political inconsistency. Holding extremo views on the subject of State Sovercignty, ho still went into the Union army to whip back the States that sought to exercise the prerogative which Stnte Sovereignty naturally includes. Then he waa made Governor of Illinois by the Ro- publicans on his record nnd - servicos in the war for National Bovercignty, but ho took occagion in his innugural message to re- Inpso into his old heresy. So, when Chicago had beon half destroyed by fire, the city in- fested with thioves, nnd millions of money lying in exposed vaults of Luildings that had been burned, ho protested beeause the peo- plo called upon o fow United States soldiers to give tho protection which could not be expectod from an inadequate nnd jaded po- lico foreo ; indeed, ho has never tired of dis- cussing this matter, and takes overy possi- ble occasion to denounce it. ‘What we have said will Lielp those who do not know of Jomn M. Parxer’s idiosynera- sies to estimato at their proper value tho rockless words wo have guoted above. Dut this explanation does not mako him any more fit, but rather less fil, to act as one of the arbitrators in the canvass of o voto on which tho election of n President possibly turns, Thigis o duty which requires tho coolest- Thended men on both sides. Strong prejudico and preconceived mnotions nre about the worst clemonts that could enter into tho task. Both the spirit and the letter of Grant's onder, dirccting the transfor of troops to Florida and Louisiana for the pur- poso of preserving the pencoin a timo of great orcitement and preventing violonco to the re- turns, have recoived the commendation of: the conservative wen of bolli parlies, Iudeed, oven the Democrats of Louisiana regard the movement ag proper, *‘Tho Couservatives,” says 8 Now Orleans dispn.tcb tothe Chicago %mes, * avo incliued to givo the President the credit of really designing to give the peo- plo of the Btate n fair show, and beliove that he means to place the victory with those who won it at tho polls, oven though it destroys hig own party.” When Parmen donounces tho President, and says he ought to bo im- peached for dofng what the peoplo genorally approve, without rogard to party, ho fur. uishes protty couclusive evidenco that heis not the proper kind of man to bo trusted in .nwork requiring coolness of judgment nnd perfect impartinlity, Wo hopo the other Dermnoerats who have gono to New Orlenus {o overlook tha count do not enter upon their work in u similar state of mind. A POWERFUL MINORITY. Tho vote of Louisinna or Florida will barely elect Mr. Tipen, If ho sccares a majority in tho Electornl Colloge through ono or the other, it is comfortable to roflect thiat the Democrntic party which he will rep- resout will be held in check Ly the strongeat ninority in Cougress there has been in muny years, ‘Thoro will ba a small majority sgainst his party in tho United States Seuate for at least the flvat two yearn of his term, aud perhapa during the entira term ; it will not be large enough to hamper him with factious opposition to appointment, for thero aro onough fair-minded mon among the Ropublioan Bonators to pravent such a polioy, but it will bo safe for the rovorsal of auy wild Demoeratio schomes that may be squoezed through u,;. Houso, DBt in the House of Ropresentativea Mr, TILpEN's party cannot at tho best count upon more than hnalf o dozen majority, and tho thres members to be cleotod in Now IHampshira in = March will reduce it probably by one, and perhnps by three. The Intest and most careful estimates on tha political complezion of the next Houge gives tho Repablicaus 143 aud the Domocrats 147 members, with threo yot to bo chosen, Thia eatimato will not bo mate- rially changed, and, whils it would not be surprising if tho Democrats had only throa or four innjority, thoy will certainly not oxcoed o majority of oight or ton, Tho majority of ninotoen certainly, and probably twenty, State delogations will bo Republican, The patronago fu tho hands of the President will assist him in holdiug his majonty compactly together, but ho cannot weaken the minority by this means withont endsugering tho in. tegrity of his own mejority, ‘Thus it may bo expectod that the membors on both sides will bo held closely to thoe constituents who choso thom ; thero will bo fow nbsentoes, and & greator nitontion fo the Lusiness of Con- gress moy be expocted from all than is wsual, The chicf advantage of this close division of parties in the next Congress is the eafe- guard it will afford against the adoption of wild and dangerous logislutive schemes which have beon the bhope of alarge nuwmber of Domocrats. Mr. Trpxx will have sufticient support in Congress Lo enablo him to carry out all the projects of reform that liave beon promisod in hix name ; fo set in motion that mynteriona machinery of propnration for re- sumption which Lo hinted at in his lettor of aceeptatice; and to exhibit that wonderful ruggestivenoss which ia to restoro not merely peaca and good-will between North and Houth, but @niversal prosperity, I1fo may connt upon the roady co-operntion of & mn- Jority for carrying out any policy of his that points olearly to the advantage of the coun- try and the ameliorntion of business, for if any of hisown party desert him fn such an emergoney, ho may dopend npon an noces. sion of cnough Republicans to help him through, Wo shall be content if ko outliven a policy that will not impedo the restoration of confidence and the improvemont of busi- ness thnt Linva beon nppnrent for many months. Butif le fails, the fatluro will bo all his own. At the samo timo, the line is drawn too closely to admit, for two years to come, of any of the proposed raids on the Trensury which have been nppre- hended as the result of his olection, and which wonld undoubtedly havo been carried through if the Democrats liad secured an overwhelming majority in Congress. Wo do not now balieve that tho project for re- imbursing tho ex-Rebels for their war-losses will ba ontertained by the Forty-ffth Con. gress, ovon if TirpEN bo clected ; because, if mado n party measnre, the majority is so small that fatal dofection may reasonably bo expected among the Northorn Democrats who represont constituencics ns much op- posed to this schomo ns the Northern Re- publicans, .It may woll bo doubted whether 'oxt 8corr's schome for having his now Pacifio Rond built ot Government expense will bo ablo to command tho sanction of n mojority in both Houses. The vagarics of Democratic finnnciors will bo sufficiently nired in Congressional spocches, and find their proper place in obscurity through tho Congresional Record, but they will scarcely take the tangiblo shape of logislation if thero is a modicum of common sense nmong the Demoorats, since a very fow votes will suffice to defent them, Tho outlookis not altogether discouraging, then, oven if TiLpEN sholl be inaugurated President on the 4th of March next. o himself will be constrained to so conduct the affairs of tho nation ns to securo &8 majority of the second Congress of his term with him, and the closeness of the first will convince him of the necessity for fulfilling tho promis= es ho hns made so freely, If he does not, ho may take tho close division of tho naw Congress a8 o sure sign that the peoplo will eloct n Congress opposed to him two years from now, The country is to bo congratu- Inted on the powerful minority in Congress in any event, and tho results can scarcely fail to bo beneficinl to tho best interests of tho American peoplo, THE CZAR'S THUNDERBOLT, Thespeech of the Czar inroply to tho address of the people of Moscow, which was printed in tho Inst issue of Tne TamUNE, is the first official uttoranco of Russin in the ponding negotintions for peace betwoon the Turks nnd the Sclaves, and it comes with a snap ond o ring that mean business. It is also the first speoch made by the Czar that hng evor been roported. Monarchs usunlly wpenk through their Promiers, but Anrxan- pER 11, has concluded this time to speak for himsolf, and he has doneit Inconically, cloar- 1y, and emphatically, Thero is no mistaking his langunge, and there is no concealing tho fact that ho gives Beaconsrierp the lie di. rect. Lord BeaconsrizLn, in o post-prandial spocch, whon the wino wasin and tho wit was ont, in an unguarded momont gave ut- tornnce to the opinion that the British Lion had senved the Russion Bear with his growl. ing. "The Uzar's speech, bhowaver, shows that the Benr doesn’t scare worth n penuy. Tho English - taunt has roused him, nnd ho lsys down his pro- gramme with an emphasis and defiance that prove that hein in doad carnest. For the first timo ho puts his foot' down, strikes the table with his clenchod fist, and informs John Bull that he can have a fight ns soon ns ho wanta it. It is tantamount to o chal- longe which England must accept, or stand proparcd to treat Russin herenfter with def- orence and courtesy. The Czarsays: * My most ardont wish ig that we may arrive at a gonoral agroement, Bhould this, howaver, not bo nchieved, and should I seo that wo connot obtain the gunrantees nocessary for earrying ont what we intendod to demand from tho Porte, Lam firmly determined to act independently, 1 am counvinced that the wholoof Russia will respond to my -sum- mons, should I consider it necessary and Russia's honor raquires it. Moscow will lead tho van by its cxample. May God holp us to carry ont onr sacred mission,” This timo it Isnot diplomacy tolking, but autherity, 'Thera i no conconlmont of idens, no hidden meanings betweon the lines, no superilnous compliments, Tho wayfaring man, thongh n fool, can undarstand it, nud no one will undorstand it more quickly that Beacons- rrzeo himself, who provoked it with his aftor. dinner gasconnde. It shows that the Czar hos detormined the time kins como to speak out, and that tho work of his Premier, GonrscnAxorr, I done, It moans that the ‘Curk must succumb and tho Christian shall ba released ; that, if absolute indopendence is not guaranteed tho Sclaves, thon Nussia, regardless of all other Powers, of all intorna- tional relations, nud of oven tho complications of tho Eastern question, will draw tho sword, and not shenthe it until tho Turks are con- querod and tho Ohristians forover freed from their tyranny. Itis, abovo all, a notification to England that eovonty millions of his peo- plo are going to strike hands with the Sclavie population in this holy cruasado for freedom, ‘I'o opposo this crusado the English people cnunot count upon any European Power ag on ally. They cannot muster a sufficlont army to opposo it. 'fhoy may plant their iron-clads in the Bosphorus, but oven their monster 8l-ton guna cannot throw sholls ncross tho ‘Balkops, It is significant, at the sameo timo, that Austrin snubs England, Beaconsrmap having agsorted that all tho Powers had assented to tho conferonce, ho is severcly eriti- clsed in diplomatio clrclos at Vienna, and it is offloially announcod not only that Austria has not yet consonted to the confor- ence, bat also that sho has not yet ncoepted tho English proposition, which is very nearly oquivalent to saying that ghe is going to side with Russis, It will be further remembered that Dismanck bos also semi.officially no- tified England that a fight botween Rusaia and Tarkey is nono of Germany’s business, sinco whataver might bo tho issue of a war it would enuro to her benetit. 'Thore is an in- cidental foaturo of the Czar’s speech which iy very timely, He stigmatizes the Borvians 03 cowards, and his charges avo confirmed by roports from all sources, which go to show that they huve not fought with tho cour- ago or enduranco that wns expected of them, althoogh they had the help of Ruasian volnnw.m. who gave 3 them glowing examples of bravery, and were commanded by skillfnl Russiow officers. In many instances tho Hussinna hiad to drive them to tho front, andthe prac- tico of self-wounding in order to get relioved from nctive duty has beon very common, ‘With regard to the Montenegrins, the Czar says: ¢ Tu this unequal strugglo tio Mon- toncgrins, ns herotofore, have shown them. selves to ba real horoes,” 'Thoso of our read- ers who havo followed tho progress of tho war will havo noticed that the Montenegrins, although thoy are but nlittle handful and poorly nrmed ns compared with the Servi- ang, and although thoy have always fought tho Turks at fenrful odds, have naver Leen dofented. Theoy have fought with all tho tenacity and desperation of the old Spartans, ond they hnvo ‘gnarded’ their mountain. pnsses with tho same glorious bravery that defonded Thormopylw, It was thelr misfor- tuno that they had no nrtillery, war matorial, or rosourcos sufficient to enablo them to fol- low up the fruits of viotory, Ind tho Ser- vians fought with half the skill and courage of thio Montonegrins, they would have been froo long before this. FREQUENOY OF ELECTION EXOITEMERTS, ‘Wo havo no doubt there will be a general noceptance of the suggestion that our cloc. tions for Prosidont nro altogether too fro- quoent. Once in four years Is too ofton for such n goneral upheaval of the coun- iry ond the universal excitement nttend. ant thereon. There is no stability in tho Exccutive Dopartmont. Tho first two years of anew Exocutive are occupied in the d* tribution of patronago and in proparir~, .or logislntion; the next two yoars ar~ _ent in preparing for the succession, / ear bofora the Prosident’s term is ov*’, no has boen either sot aside by his ov"_ party orisa can- didato for re-election, nnd, in cither ensa, has oensed to control Lis own party and the gon- eral publie. This is not by any moans o now question. It has boen discussed for many yenrs. As long 8go as in Jacreon's term it was pressed, and, whilo popular with the peo~ ple, it Las nover found favor with the poli- ticians, Tha objection to one torm, and that of six yoors, hns been that it reduces the chances of candidates to obtain that office, A mnan at GO years of ngo desiring and expecting the Presidency can afford to wait for the expiration of but fow four-yonr torms, and would have even less hope if the torms wero mndo 8ix years ench. An snnual cleotion would not bo too frequont for thoso peoplo. ‘Ihe Government, however, was not institated for officeholders, but for the genernl welfaro, and those froquent eleotions arc injurious to the interosts of tho country ond destructive of the publio morals, Tho adoption of o constitutional provision fixlng one torm for the President, and that term to bo six years, would give to the Presi- doney a stability and indopendonce to which tho offico is now n strangor. The President is now nmero office agent,—n mnn whose business is not to select persons to fill office, but to appoint the men to oflice who have ‘beon selected by the membors of Congross of his party, Unless tho Prosident do this, then the Sonate will refuse to conflrm the appointment of any other persons, and tho Prosidont will bo abandoned by his party in Congress. If, howaver, the President have no hope for re-election, and have six yoars of office, ho can afford to bo indopendent, and can appeal to tho poople from Cougross at tho intermodiate eloctions, So strongly imn- pressed was Gov, Haves onthis subjoect, that heo frankly wrote his declaration that, if elect- ed, he would not ba s candidate for ro-elec- tion, Mr. Titpex, in his letter of nccept- nuce, while declining to mako any * sclf-im- posed restrictions,” declared that tho ro-elec- tion of n President shonld bo prohihited by constitutional provision, 1lcre, then, are the two candidntes nt the recent clection both testifying to the fatal offcots of having moro than one torm for each Prosident. Tho country hes just passed through n most intense and oxtrnordinary excitomont over the choleo of President, For six suc~ cessive months it has engrossod the public mind, It has led to oll mnuner of cxcesses. It hnslod to the oxponditure of millions of dollars to corrupt and debauch tho public morals, It has floodod the country with a torrent of calumny, vituporation, and por. jury. It has lowered the standard of offleial and personal purily in public estimation. The active campnign has beon attendod with moro or loss drunkenness and personal ox- cossos, Young mon have become involved in the whirl of party excitoment, and have bocome familiar with excosses nnd diusipa- tion to which they would otherwise have been strangers, Ilealth, and monoy, mmd time, and good morals, have boen sserificed. In loss than two yoars tho subjoct of the succossion will bo again agitated snd the popular mind put in training for tho next campaign, o that tho actunl rest from ono cnmpaign to tho other mover excoods two yoars, In the prosont caso all tho oxcito-, monts preceding tho olection have followed it, and domngogues nre trying to fan that ox- citement into a civil war, This i nltogethor too froquont. Tolength. en the torm to six yenrs would givo the country time to recover from one oxciting season before engaging in the next. ‘Whon Congress moets in December one of the wiscst things that could bo done wonld bo to submit to the conntry an article of the Constitution extonding the Presidontial torn 1o six years, and making the Prosident incli- gible for two terms in successlon. Buch a provision, we bave no doubt, would be wel- comed by the poople, who lave becomeo woarlod and exhausted by tho flercencss and intensity of the 1dte election, 3 Ono of the countics (called parishes) In Louls- {aua about which there is a savage dispute in New Orleans, s East Feliclana, Two yearsago, when the vote was admitted to bo full and fulr, it voted as follows: Ttopublican, 41,088 Debiocratio VBT Tepublican majority..vesreriveenencrrsers Bl At {3 now set down by tho Democrats aa having given 1,740 majority for TiLpEN and the Demo- cratle ticket.

It is hardly probable that the mocratic majority can Lo twico as large as the Democrutic vote, unless something has been done with the Republicans. Tho dis- patches from Republican sources in New Orleaus state that tha colored Republicans were intimi- dated and scarcd away from the polls, If thig be true, it still doss not account for 1,740 Dem- ocratic majority, uoless that party hos doubled {n population in two ycars, whichi is o very vio- lent supposition.
