REORGANIZING THE ARMY.—At the last session of Congress the whole snbject of the reform and reorganization cf the army of the United States was referred to a commis- sion consisting of the Secretary of War ( pre- sident), General Sherman, Brigadier Gen- eral M. C. Meigs, Senators West and Cock- erell, and Representatives Hurlout and ning. The commission, with the excep- ton of Messrs. West, Banning and Huribat, met at the War department this morning and completed some preparatory baxiness. Tbe meeting was stort, but adjouraed to meet again ina days. THE CHARGE is made tn repulican quar- ters that the telegraph lines from Florida areso completely under the control of the democrats that telegrams from republicans to their party friends in the north are layed sometime: even days and their con- tents divulged to members of the opposite party. It tsaileged that this has been espe- cially the case with the dispatches of Gov. Stearns. The Governor yesterday sent cbarges to the above effect into Georgia, and requesting that the operator at Tallahas- see be removed. His request was promptly complied with, @nd it 1s pow thought that all messages will come through promptly. THE QUESTION in the “Row” to-day is “Who invented the Conover dispateh?” A Washington correspondent of toe New York Healdsays that it wag part of a game by Morrissey and the New York gamolers, who are iikely to_lose enormously ualess Tildea is eleckd. The correspondent says: ‘The first move in this game was made last night, When the telegraph bulletins here were made lo announce universally democratic success ip ali the donbtful states. A well known lobbying ex newspaper correspondent is supposed to have been taken into the plot dis charged with perpeirating the as yet uranthenticated telegram from Senator Conover, abandoning Fierida to the demo- crats.” A VERY CURIOUS MACHINE bas recently te xhibited in the government building at the Centennial for describing the passage of & projectile from a cannon to a target.

Hon. Jerome B. CHAFFEE, selected by the republican caucus of the Colorado legis- lature as one of tbe Senators from the Cen- tennial state, was born in Niagara county, New York, on April 1825. He entered upon commercial life, and, after emigrating to Colorado, became engaged in business as @ banwer, as well as being largely interested in mining operations. In 186i he became a member of the territorial legislature, in bieh he served three years, being made ker during the last year. In 1465, wnen ‘olorado firtt applied for admission to the Union as a state, he was elected as one of the proposed United States Senators. In 1570 be was elected as the Delegate of the territory in Congress, and se; in that position four Jears. when be was su led by a demo- erat. For several years the republican party of Colorado was split into two factions, b3- tween which there was a bitter antagonism. Mr_ Chaffee led one faction, and General E. M. McCook theother. The latter was gover- bor of the territory during President Grant's first term, and was again nominated for the ition whev Governor Elbert was removed in isi4. Mr. Chaffee fought this nomination, apd su ip persuading the Senate to reject It, flnce when be has been the pria- cipal leader of tne republicans in Colorado. To-DA Y.—The President expressed himself to-day as confident that the full returns in the disputed states would show the election of Hayes and Wheeler. The democrats are in some elation to-day over @ report that Oregon has @ demo- cratic afierall. The republicans say, bow- ever, that the retu showing @ repub'ican victory are too positive to admit of any question. The information reached this city that Hepry Watterson, editor of the Louisvill« Courter Journat, who is now in New Orleans had telegraphed bis paper! digpaten bad been received by Gov. Keliozg, of Lou. isiana, from Sebretary Chandler, that ‘Lou- isiap® must be counted for Hayes and Wheeler at all hazards,” and that Goversor Kellogg bad replied “that it would be.” Gov. McCormick, secretary of the national com- mittee, who is now in this city, pronounces the telegram of Watterson to bea ba:eless {+hrication. The New York Herald of to day thinks it rather ‘*suggestive” that McEoery, of Lou- isiana, sends it (the Herald) a circumstantial table of the vote of the parishes of Louisi- gna, which gives Tilden a majority in the state of eight thousand, while the republi- can side farnish no figures, but only claim ibe state. The Herala thinks it ‘looks line ot 40 acres to INDIANS COMING TO WASHINGTON.— The New York Express of Saturday sa; Colonel George Anderson, the well known Ic dian agent and scout, arrived in the city —. io company with a delegation of ndiaps, representing the Sioux, Apache ard Pawcee tribes, who are en route to Wasbingtov.

LASF NIGHT'S DISPATCHES. SOUTH CAROLINA. Latest corrected returns give the dem- cratic state ticket 1 318 majority for the Til- den electors in thirteen out of thirty-two counties, rua 712 bebind the state ticket. Governor Chamberlain claims the stave for the republicans by 2.000. The board of state canvassers meet to-day to count the vote. Senator Gordon arrived yesterday oa a spe- cial train, and will be present during the session 0: the board of canvassers. A num- ber of northern Senators are expected to ar- rive today. A ich from Charleston says: The demoer: re still confideat that the state has gone for Tilden and Hampton. Some republicans admit Hamptoa’s ele>- tion, but are confident the republicans have esiried the state for the Hayes electoral Ucket. They assert that the stete board of canvassers will throw out enougn votes to elect Chamberlain and the republican elec- toral ticket. Section 22, chapter 8, of afore- said statntes, provides that the Secretary of State, Controlier General, State Treasurer, Adjutant and Inspector Genera), an msn of the commiitea on pas ani elections of the House of Rapresenta- lives, shall constitute the board of state canvaseers, four of whom shall be ® sufficient numter to form a board. The following are the members of the board: Henry E. Hayne, (colored), secretary of state; Thomas C. Dunn, (white), comptroller Win. Stone, (white), attorney gene L. Cardozo, (colored), state treas- urer; H. W. Purvis (colores), a‘jatant and inspector general; M. J. Hirsch, chairmaa committee on privileges and elections of House of Representatives. All the members of the board of canvsssers are republicans. Hayne, Cardozo, and Dunn, are candidates for re-election, Hirsch, who is candidate for folicitor of third judicial cireait is notacting with the board of canvassers at this time. Hayne, Cardozo, Dann, Stone, and Parvis constitute the board of canvassers, as now organized. The board claims the right to decide who are elected, avd there is no ap peal from the decision, except to the courts. In the case of governor and lieutenant gov- ernor, however, the final clecision rests with the legislature, unlces there ts a contest for county officers. The county canvassers de cide who areelected. In this particular tn- stance, the state board of canvassers occupy @deitcate and important trust, as they are cailed upon to decide upon their own elec- tion, three members of the board being candi- dates for re-election. The decision of the board in throwing out the vote of any county for alleged frauds virtually eads the matter so far as they are concerned. Governor Chambe: e's Figures. Tre N. Y. Herald of yesterday (sunday) prints the following: COLUMBIA, Noy. 11, 1876 —To the Bditor of Herald: 1 would gladly give you the statement you request, but the official re turns have pot been received from more than eight counties. The figures given are, therefore, mostly estimates. These esti- mates differ greatly; to repeat them in de- tail would bardly be worth your while. You are familiar with the democratic claims. The republicans clatm that after giving the democrats all they can plausibly claim; and accepting thelr figures in @ great majority of the counties, Hayes has still a majority of about 3,200 and Chamberlaia of about 2,100. But the republicans insist that their best information, from most authentic rees, including ll official retarns now eceived orauthoritatively reported to oar executive committee, gives Hayes & maj or- ity of about 7,000 aod Caamberlain of about 5,500. That tois state has gone for Hayes we have not a shadow of doubi, on elther demo cratic or republican showing. On rep can showing we are equally sure of the @ on of republican stare oflicers and legisia- ture with a majority on joint ballot of over twenty. D. H. CHAMBERLAIN. General Hampton's Estimate. CoLumBta, Nov. 11, 1876.—To the Edi/or of the Herald:—We have heard from our com- mitiees In each county of the state, in al Ubirty two, with accurate reports of the votes cast. Wecarry eighteen counties for the state ticket, nineteen for the legislative and county tickets. The vote for governor is the only one on which we have fall returas. The democratic majority for goveraor 1s about 1,100; the balance of the state ticket and the Presidential ticket havea smaller vote. The exact difference is not yet ascer tained; but we thin | will be elected. Tae legislature has 121 members in the Honse and thirty-three in the Senate. We have elected sixty-four members of the House and fifteen of the Senate,a majority of one on joint ballot. WaAvt HAMPron.

AN ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN BY FALSE PRE- TENCES COPIES OF THE TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES OF PRESIDENT GRANT, TO WaSHINGTON, aS TO THE EXCITEMENT IN LOUISIANA AND FLORIDA—THE DERP FRUSTRATED. LAID SCH PHILADELPAIA, Nov. 11, 1976. Late on Friday evening @ well dressed son called at the general office of the Atian- | tic ana Pacific telegraph compauy, northeast corner of 3d and Chestout streets, aad in quired for the operator on duty, who stepped up to the counter and was requested by we caller to produce certain tel woich bad been transmitted to Washin and otber points by the President and of War, during that and the previous day, Perec | the political excitement in Loa- isianaand Florida and the orderiog of troops from ‘lous localities to the scene ef posel- ble trouble, alleging that they were needed at once by the President for refereoce. Mr. Taylor, the operator on duty, seems to have been well instructed in the matter of the sacredness of telegraph dispatches, and p>- litely declined to give up the dispatches ex. tept upon the writien order of the President. | The applicant responded that he would soon Staff, and did not get out until nearly eleven | o'clock. Oa his return to the Eobitt House his aide-de-camp, Col. Bacon, handed him a copy of the twenty firstedition of Tag Star, with the returns dowa to midnight. Grasp- ing it eagerly be made his way across the rotunda to the gaslight at tue clerk’s desi, where he flattened the paper out on the mar- ble counter and sprawled down over it to absorb the news, revealing In his posture & most mortal interesi in the r. sult on the pai of the General-in-Chief of the armies of the United States. Being approached upon the all absorbing topic of the hour, when, afew minutes later, he had retired to and was sit- ting in bis room, leisurely smoking, he said nat he could nol understand why Haves had ran go far benind in Onto, Indiana, Iilt- nois and New York. He thought it very strange Indeed, and was disappointed be- cause be was such & good manu and states- man. The repuolicans of New York in the interior bRd uotdone 28 well as he expected. It was thought that they would overcome a majority of about sixty thousand ia the city, whereas they had not counterbalanced, it appeared, at even forty thousand. It would be very unfortunate if the election of Hayes should be decided by tue vo'e of one of the emall states, like Florida, Oregon, or even South Carolina, in thatevea if there were, as would be iikely, dissatisfaction with the action of the returning boards, or whatever might be the deciding local authorities, there might be danger of armed resistance, and if nol, gree. tar.u- lence in those states ‘Suppose, for in- stance,” said tne general of ths army, ‘that there should be returned @ vote of say 36,000 while he did not believe there were more than 5,000 bona fide, actnal voters, and if there were two opposing Returaing Boards, there, would, no doubt,ba felt a strong spirit of resistance to the deciaration of the electo- ral vole in favor of Hayes and Wheeler. Toe republicans had mate @ great many mistakes, avd it was unfortunate that im- mediately after the war a |ittle different pol- icy had pot been adopted in the manage- ment of the colored vote, and steps had not been taken to assimilate & part of the white vote. In the former case some of a miid form of qualification in the voter might have been exacted preparatory to the full exercise of the right of the right of sntfrage; and in the latter, by @ wire course, at least one fifth of the while southern vote migat have been propitiated by a policy of gen- erous action. The present condition of af- fairs was ove to excite some solicitade; bat no matter whether it terminated in tae se- lection of Hayes or Tilteo, as the election bad gone off quietly, and without any vio- lence or disorder, Which was very gratify- ing, as well as flattering, to the whole Amer- ican people. Anyone inelther party who would think of resorting to force, or resisi- ance by arms, should be set down as a traitor to bis country. He did not think even if Governor Tilden should become President tbat ihe soutn, though they might insist that they bad polled the larger pict the vote for him, coald dictate @ iine of poi icy or acouree of action which would ex- clusively pertain to them. If, oaving « larger vole, as he seemed to have. in in diana, New York and New Jersey, this were proposed to him, Governor Tilden could «ay, “Now, look here, you gentlemen must pot expect or demand too much. I nave been elected also by @ large northern vote of re publicans aud democrats, and you mus. ba satisfied with what you get.” He was satistied that both Governors Hayes aud Tilden were men of too great good serge aud judgment to listen to any demands which would oe likely to creats @ feeling of bitterness by reason of partiality or favoritism or exclusive consideration of the vote of one section. The army, both officers and meu, had benaved splendidly in the south, and had won respect and admira- tor, It was felt that they were there merely to preserve the peace without interfering with the right of any one to vole. They would not take sides, but would staad by the regularly constituted autbority, as he (Gen. Sherman) should also f el bound to doin the fature. In regard to Mr. Tilden, if he were elected President, ne would be recognized implicitly in this regerd,and in the same respect, as General of the Army, nis rela- Uons toward Mr. Tilden would be simply to preserve and obey the law. There was some reason to believe that, under the circum- stances, there might be an armed resis.ance in the south arising out of the elections, but that be hoped that the election would ba so decisive, and fri cheating or injustice, as to render this ua. likely, and to make the good sense and iaw- abiding disposition of the whole psople to frown it down, This country was tired of excitement and turbulence. Every one, borth and south, having suffered so much during the late unhappy civil war tat everybody aesired lo see perpetual peace and order. The people of the south, no less than those of the north, deserved creat credit in seeing that the elections passed of so quietly, and he rejoiced at this very much. Every- thing sbould be done to preserve this good order, and in making the returns a few ir- responsible politicians, here and there, in order to secure the result of the election for their party, no matier which whe really suc cessful, Ought not to be permitted to bring abont such @ state of affairs as wou!d create any disorder or dange to the public peace. In case there should be any tronbie it looked as though the democrats would have the a1- vantage. Continuing to discourse op the political situation with that honest and manly frank- ness for which he is poted, Gen. Sherman, while rejecting, a8 he said, auy mption of statesinanship or wish to interfere tn pil ee from unfair play, | procure the necessary order, and withdrew. n about thirty minutes he returcei and bended tue operator @ paper, reading as fol- lows: AT MR.

To Mr. Childs’ eie- gant mansion Mr. Maxwell then went, who fortunately found the Presideat alone, and to him he stated briefly the facts above recited, and showed the written order, which the Prerident at once pronounced to be a forgery, stating that he bad neither written it nor directed it to be writter. Tne Prest- gent thanked Mr. Maxwell for the course he bad taken in the matter and directed him to furnish none of his dispatches to any one except upon his own order, properly identi- fied.

Itis that Charles Francis Adams and Wm. M. Evart or otner citizens equally removed should be invited by Gov. Hayes and Gov. Tilden to go to New Orleans and certify that the board of canvassers do the fair thing. We are not impressed that there is a demand for this sort of informal inspection, but if two or three eminent citizens not notorious for partisan feeling, could be utilized as wit- nesses In bebaif of the general public, it might be weil. A mob of politicians ered from all parts of the country into Orleans, would only thickea trouble.—(Cin. Commercial. THE PRESS of the country is not yet awake to the perils of the dilemma, as explained by the Graphic. Governor Hayes seems to bave 185 votes and Governor Tilden 154. But according to the laws of human m< ity, one of this whole number will die within the month which elapses prior to counting the votes in the several capitals on Decem- ber 6. Iftwo Hayes men should die, and If, as is probable. there should be no stated provision for filling ancies by appoint ment, the 184 democratic electors could out- vote the 153 remaining repubiican electors and mi Tilden President. Electors may be influenced by bribery to effect the same result. Each elector acts for himseif and votes as he pleases. A majority of the col- lege could legally elect Peter Cooper, or Charles Francis Adams, or Joho Morrissey, or Jobn Siaith President, if, for an ss ion of instructions and precedent. To vote for Hayes or Tilden is wholiy optional with them.
