Sem1-official returns from all the counties of Ohio show & majority for Hayes of 7,352. PENNSYLVANIA. Official returns from 55 counties in this state gave Hayes 14,980 majority, leaving 11 counties to hear from, whic in 1875 gave a republican majority of 61. SOUTH CAROLINA. The board of canvassers heard arguments yesterday afternoon from Leroy F. You- mans in bebalf of the democratic citizens. He maintained that the board had no power under the Constitution to alter the result of the election as announced by the county canvassers, and the state board had no power to change returns, and could merely censolidate ana announce the result. At the conclusion of the argument the board ad- Journed until to day,when R. B. Elliott, col- vred, will address the board in behalf of the republicans. He will insist that tae board bas ministerial and judicial functions, apd tbat it bas the right to canvass and throw out votes in any county where there has been either fraud or intimidation. Upto last returns bad been recel' at the office of the secretary of state from bat 18 counties, leaving 14 counties to be heard from. {t will take at least a week before ihe official count is announced.

RUMORED MARRIAGES OF PROMINENT Pxnsons.—For some weeks past tere have been rumors to the effect that in the event of bis election to the Presidency, Mr. Tilden was to be married to Miss Lelia Morse, daughter of the late Prof. Morse, prepara- tory to furnishing a mistress for the Waite House. In the event of his defeat it is ru- mored that the couple wonld sail immedi- ately for Europe.

He looked very much distressed as he sat in the governor's office this morning, and did not seem dispo:. ed to be very communicative. He said hedid bot know anything about Florida or South Carolina, and had no additional returns from any of the parishes in Louisiana. He virtually admitved that the state had gone democratic by quite a large majority by of. fering to wager that the mejority woald not reach 7,000, bat the doubt Is that Packard may be able to stiffen Kellogg up to wnat is required of him. page cage of Louisiana. He has the front ofa Hon Four years agoit was due ina great measure to the pluck and audacity of Packard that Kellogg. was lifted into the gubernatorial cbair. During these four years more than once Keliogg would have turned tail and ran away eirey: but Packard would not let him. Now ard insists upon Kellogg toeing the mark and doing bis part to make Packard bis successor. The large conservative delegation here from the ro. th was reinforced to night by thear- rival of ex-Governors Curtin and Bigler and Representative Randall. Upon cousaltation among the gentlemen present it was sug- gested by ex-Sevator Hamilton, of Md., that no necessity existed for the aitendance of sO many,aod that 8 committee, consisting of five or more persons, be designated who should remain here acd witness the canvass- ing of the returng, ard give such advice and counsel as may be necessary. 1t is under- stood thai the suggestion will be carried out. Gov. Pinchback bas just come to tell me that he thinks things look rather squally. He says he believes that the returning board will throw out the parishes of Eastand West Felicjana and Ouachita. He says if this is done it may resuli in giving the state to the republicans, but be is not certain of it, or that it will secure toe legislature to them. He says that Packard was a thousand or more votes behind Hayes; that he scratched Packard, and a great many others did the same. He om hg it 18 not at all unlikely that Packard would fail of obtaining the guber- patorial office, even if the electoral vote is awarded to Hayes. The Baltimore American has a letter from & member of the committee who went from Hagerstown to Rockville, Montgomery county, to recount the baliows with a view of ascertaining whether Mr. Walsh or Mr. McComas }s entitled to represent the 6th dis- trict in the next Congress. Toe writer charges that the committee were bullied and in suited at Rockville. and that afier Mr. E. B. Prettyman, the clerk of the court, had iiwed a recount of the baliots in the presen of a committee of three from eaca party, an effort was mae to prevent the recount. He adds: ‘The committee during their brief stay learned sufficient of what was done in Rockville ou election d*y to convince them that the majority obtained in Montgomery coupty was a fraudulent one. Toe mere re- count, as we have Jearned since returaing bome, has reduced the majority eight votes.

In 1812 President Madison was chosen over De Witt Clinton by 123 to 89. In this contest the vote of either Pennsylvania (23) or Virginia (23) would have made De Witt Clinton President. In 1824 the fall electoral vote of New York (34) would have given ndrew Jackson @ majority of ali the votes cast. As it was, he received only one yote from this state, and the election devolved upon the House of Representatives. Tue contest In 1844 was exceedingly close. Polk | received 170 votes, Clay 105. The loss of New York (34 votes) was fatal to Henry Clay. Polk's plurality in thin state was ly 5,106, so that a change of 2554 votes would have secured the election of Henry Clay, with all its eventful consequences. At the sixteenth Presidential election (1848), the vote of New York (34) or Pennsylvania (24) would have given Cass a majority over we Bachan- AD won in 1856 by 52 Votes. Without the aid of Pennsylvania he would have had only 148 votes, the exact number necessary a choice. Had Penpsylvania gone republican 4p October bis defeat was inevitable.
