TNE MOST DOUBTPUL BTATE, Bpecial Dirpatch t0 The Tridune. ‘Wasnmigron, D, C,, Nov. 10.—Florida still continues to be considered by the Republicans who have the best source of information the most doubtful of the doubtful States. The as- surances of the Democrats that they have car- ricd the State, and the urgency with which they ineist upon an immediato count of the returns, beforo all have been received from the back count{cs, convince the Republicans that the at- tempta of the Democrats to corrupt the County Convassers may have proved successful. The Republicans in Florida do not propose to allow the Domocrats to press tho count until after a carcful examlnation of the rcturns has been poasible, and until some, ot least, of the numerous charges of fraud have been thorough- 1y favestigated. THH INTERPRETATION placed here upon the Democratic demand for a commencement of tho count before the returns from remote parlshes are received Is, that ft s a devico to dovelop tlie cxact Republican major- ity in counties which havo forwarded their re- turns. The dlstricts still out are, in fact, in Democratic hands, sud & required manipulation of the boxes might possibly bo securcd. The Ropublicans have adopted measures by which they hope to ascertain the real statc of these withheld returns at the time the polls closed, and in some cases they have alrcady scetrod tho informatfon. GOV, STRARNS' ABSUMPTION. 70 the Western Associated Iress. TALLAIASSEE, Nov. 19.—~Thero 18 reasonable ground for belleving that Gov. Stearns will as- sume that tho State Board has no power to can- vass the Elcctoral vote, but that the power re- sides in the Governor. This assumptlon will permit the Governor to decldo il {ssucs per- tatning to the canvasa and lssue certificates to whichover of the Electors ho decides are clected. His nssumption 18 bused upon tho fact that the net creating tho Returning Board does not use the word “Electors” In giving thelist of officers whoso vote the Board slnil canyass. ‘The power to canvass this vote, not belng speelfically conferred upou tho Board, he contends reaides in him, as hels required by a Unlted States luw to tssue Electors’ certifleates, and must canvass the vote in order thet e may declde who arcfentitled to certificates. DEMOCHATS ARE ABTONISIIED that this claim Is sct up, and contend thatthe word * Electors" {8 not uscd in the act referred to, simply because Electors are {ncluded under the head of ** State officers,” which expression 18 used {n theact, The Democratic Cominittee waited on the Governor and notlficd him that it ho contemplated such step they would ask per- mission to file a protest. Ilo stated that they should have opportunity to do eo, and this morning informed them by letter that he should be pleased if they would forward in writing whatever they had to say upon the subject. ‘This Is considered an Intimation that he Intends to inove fu the matter without de- lay. Elaborate opinfons are belng prepared on both aldcs of the question. MILITARY. ‘There s some movement ordercd in military clrcles to-night, Precisoly what it fa cannot bo aacortalned.

C., Nov. 18.—There is noth- ing turther definita from Ylorida, The Repub- lican spprebenefons that the Democrats have been corrupting tho county Democratic Roturn- ing Boards increascs. It 18 certain that Manton Marble, lmmm\hm{ upon his arrival at Talla- hassee, recommended that couriers be sent to theso distant countics. 1t is prohable they wora sent. There is a difference of opinion asto the line within which the Inw requires the Electoral voto to be counted, Tho latest law soys that this must -bo dono_within thirty-five days after the electlon, but , this law appears not to applfi to Elcctors. An older luw, applicablo to Electors, fixes the final count at twenty-six days. ‘The thirty-five doy law would bring the count beyond the day in Decomber when the Federal Constitution requires the Elcctors to meet at thelr rospective State Capl- tals ond to canvass the vots, ‘Lo older law rovidoa that the count shall have been mude our or flve duvs before the time of the meetin| of Elcctors. Itis anticipated that thoe counl will be delayed untit tho 6th of Docember, and thus ralse another serlous question with rogord to the Electoral College. —— LOUISIANA, APFIDAVITS. Special Dispatch to The Tribuns. ‘Wasmnaron, D.

It s claimed among Hepublicans fn Now Orleans that a large number of these affdavits are ready to be laid beforo the Return- {ng Board, but that it will be possivls to show thelr trua character im onovugh justances to de- stroy the effect of all. SNNATOR SINKMAN NON-COMMITTAL. Bpecial Dispaich ko The Triduna, Nuw Ousuans, Nov. 10—10 p. ws.—Nothing of fmportance has transpired to-day. The ranks of visitors of both parties aro rapldly thinning out. Beunator SBherman, upon boeing ssked by your correapondent what he supposcd would bo the reault of the complications here, stated that becould not say; thut he was hero as a witness of the procoedings of the Returning Board. CHICAGO, ‘What the first decision of the Board might be hs could only conjecturs, and whon he bad heard the evidence upon which they would base thelr docirion he would bo botter prepared to give an opinion. VISITING REPUBLIOANS have made arrangements whereby they can all atonae timo or another bo present at the delib- crations of the Board. All thess Northern gentlermen evinco a sincero desire to learn the true condlition of affalrs here, and especially do they seck to get at the truthin regardto the alleged proscription and soclal ostracism of Northern peoplo who come Bouth. Thoy pay thelr own hotel bills, and gencrally have avold- ed belng captured by the hospitality dodge, ‘which has been played upon certala army offi- cera and former Congresafonnl Committecs sent hers with marked effect—notably the Phelps- Foster-Potter detachment of the Wheoler Com- mittee.

Jdames Degray, about the only white Repub- lican who 'has been able to stay in East Feliclana through all the tronbles, wasslot last ‘Wedneaday ju the forchead, but the ball glanced and he will recover. Ho was a United States Deputy Marshal, and it was suspected, proba- hly with truth, that ho was collecting evidenco in regard to the recent clectlon. Apsunp, Tho statements sent to somo of the Northern popors that hundreds of afiidavits nro being mado of intimidation, ete., which aro to be counted by tha Roturning Board as voles, ure almost too absurd to need contradiction. There is of course, no law for such a proceeding, and no such intentfon. AMdavits are belng mado, and evidence to substitute them will bo forth- coming, to prove Intimidation at many of the polls in the State, and the Board wi be asked to reject tho votes at such polls, which ft has pawer to do; but §t will not bo asked to declaro votes cast which were not cast, and which it has not the power to do. Both parties will make contests under the law, THR RETURNING BOARD will to-morrow declde whether to hear Mather Zacharie, counsel for the Democratic party, in support of his protest to the jurlsdiction of tho Board; further as to whether they will not flll the existinz vacancy; still furtheras to whether they shall commence the count immedlately, or whether they shall wait until all the roturns aro in, Gen. Anderson Is understood to favor un immedisto commencement and probably that course wilt be pursued. No further figurcs than those sent heretofors can bo given, but it can be 8ald with tolerable certainty that the de- clsion of tho Board as to the legitimacy of the shot-gun and cowhide argument 25 an clection- cering agener will affcct the result in the State, FIGURES WHICH, IF TRUE, ELECT TILDEN.

Nnw OrLrAns, Nov. 10.—Tho total voto of the State, made up from auplicate poll-lists re- colved from forty-soven parishes, and ten par- fshes estimated by recistration this year and the voto of 1874, is as follows: For Govornor, Nichols, 84,203: Packard, 76,113: total, 160,224; total voto for Treasurer in 1874, 147,705; increaso this- year over 1874, 12,510.

Of the Titden Electors five have a majority over the highest vote for Republie- ans of 9,340; the other two Tilden Electors hiave amajority of 7,036, The discrepancy in these majoritics is caused by the omission of the names of five Haycs Electors from tho Nepub- lican ticket in several parlebes.

Butnoman who values his character will venture ot this crisis to make any strong statement that statistica and sworn cvidence will not amnly sustain. Let me také one Congrersional District of the Guif States to fllustrate and enforce and dem= onstrate the truth of these opening declara- tlons. T select the Sixth C # of Mississippt. h Congressional District Mississlppl, when the 'negflm aro protected, - 18 n strouger Republican State, in proportion to its population, than Massachusctts or Illinofs. It never gaveus less than o majority of over 20,000 until the shot-gun policy was inaugurated in 1875, Bince then it has gone Democratic by from 80,000 to 40,000 majority, Itis not worth the trouble to find out what the precise major- ity is, becduse & Democratic mafority In Missis- sippi can be made to order aa easfly as a pair of shoes cun be nade to order In Mossachusetts, 1t s simply a question of measurement. 1. When Gov, Ames was got rid of and the Legs islature sceured, thio Democrats made a new ap- portionment of the State. The bottom Jands of the Misslssippl River, which bound the State on the west, by thelr more than Egyptian fertil- ity of soll, are tho best cotton Innds Inthe country, and therefore they have an ovorwhelm- ing majority of negro laborers. By putting any one of these river counties Into any Cone gressional District as part of it, the supretnacy of the Democracy would self-evidently be endangered. They put them, there- fore,—all of themy—into one Con- gresslonal Distrlet, It ls the most Nayrant fllustration of the iniquities of * gerry- wandering™ that the history of the Unfted States cao furnish. This district follows the tortuous coursc of the Mississippi River. It runs from the northern to the southern boun- dnry of the State. It Is scveral hurdred miles in length. Democrats told me, ab a eood joke, that It [s between five and six hundred miles long, 1 have not measured it, but I kaoow that there {s nothiug ke [t, excepting a wounded snake fn_nature, or an Alexandrine line in poetry. In some places it Is only twelve miles wide. It was intended to give it upto tha Republicana; but when tho shot-gun lenders eaw that Scoator Boutwcll's report was not popularly accepted at the North, that “the State,” to uke their own plirase, ‘“would not bo dismantled," they determined fo send a solid Democratic delegation to Congress. The tele- raph tells us they have succceded; that Mr. .yhich has been defeated, and Gen. Chalmers has been clected. v, Tho *8hoe-atring " or * Whip-cord ¥ Districk —it is known by both pames—embraces ten count{es—Tunlea, Coahoma, Bolivar, Washing- ton, Issaquena, Warren, Clalborne, Jefferson, Adams, and Wilkinson: ‘Tunica Connty han a black populatl fooe 4,12 A white pa;mf-uuu W s 1:mx}.
