‘ 2 LOOKS LIKE SAM Still Searching the Southern Skies for a President. WHAT ALL BUT THE BLIND SEE. Will Tilden Be Given a Palmetto Nose, Peli- can Neck or Alligator Mouth ? HAYES WANTS ALL THREE. Opinions of Prominent Statesmen-- Bunsbyism Gone Mad. THE REPUBLICAN CLAIM SINISTER. How Chamberlain Proposes to Make and Increase Majorities. A GHOST OF THE BLOODY SIRT. The Migration South to Watch the Count. SPEECHES ON THE WAY. Tabulated Statements of the Vote in Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina, The complexion of events has not sensibly altered during the past twenty-four hours, The States of Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina, in doubt on Saturday, remain so to-day. The partisans still claim all three for their respective sides, although either Bide must be grasping a phantom. The republicans hold on because the sur- of any one State would be of all they democrats render the surrender ing for; the grip, partly because the indications point that way, but largely because their oppo-' are fight- keep _ their nents take a similar course. So far as the additional detailed returns go they point, as before, to democratic success. Chamberlain, on the other side, has re- duced the republican pretensions to victory in South Carolina grom 7,000 for Hayes and 5,000 for himself to 3,000 for the former and 2,000 for the latter, but gives no details, declaring at the same time that enough votes will be thrown out to increase these figures indefinitely. Mr. McEnery, of Louisiana, sends us a detailed statement of the vote by parishes, which gives Tilden nearly 8,000 majority. Mr. Pinchback, who will be remembered as the claimant Governor unsuccessful republican to a United States Senatorship, could not give any figures because it was Sunday. From Florida we have a republican claim for the Btate by Mr. Martin, but without any de- tails. Between these conflicting statements there seems no road to a decision short of the official count. The tables showing the rival claims by States, majorities and electoral votes are again presented, with a tabulated showing of the actual situation. In addition we present such detailed statements of the vote in the doubtful States by counties and parishes as are furnished us from all sources, THE DEMOCRATIC CLAIM. FOR TILDEN. Slates. Majority.

OHAIBMAN MARTIN'S CLAIM OF 4 a BPUBLICAN MAJORITY—EEPORTS OF INTENDED DEMO CRATIC FRAUDS. Tauamasser, Nov. 12, 1876, To rae Eprros or rus HeRatp:— - In answer to your despatch to-day to Governor Stearns I havo to state that the reported net republican majority in twenty-five counties heard from is about 5,000, The remaining fourteen counties gave ‘n 1872 about 2,000 democratic majority, and cannot possibly overcome the republican majorities already ascertained except by larce democratic frauds. Through great liberality on the part of the republican Governor the local election officers in these counties are democratic, and. we have heard of intended re- turns from them of a large Gctitious democratic ma” Jority, and the retarns are likely to be kept back for this purpose. But enough such frauds cannot be effectually perpetrated to destroy the majorities for Hayes in the other counties M. MARTIN, Chairman Republican State Committee. BETURNS FROM ALL BUT FOUR COUNTIES— THE DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY SEVENTEEN HUNDRED. Savawnan, Ga,, Nov. 12, 1876 A special despatch to the Morning News from Lake City, Fla, says:—‘Returns are in from all but four counties, which in 1874 gave @ democratic majority of 800, All the democratic counties show a hoavy in- croase, and the majority willbe, at « safe estimate, from 1,200 to 1,500 democratic. Tilden will not fall 800 votes behind the State ticket.’”” SOUTH CAROLINA. GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN 8TILL CLAIMS THE STATE—REPORTS OF VIOLENCE. Couvmaia, Nov. 12, 1876. To tax Epiron or ra” HrraLp:— ‘The counties officially reported since last night in- crease Hayes’ vote over all former reports or esti- mates. No doubt is now felt by republicans, and, I think, by democrats, that Hayes has carriod the State, ‘upon the face of the official returns, by a majority not less, probably, than 8,000. The changes also favor tho success of the republican State ticket, and republl- cans Dow regard the election as secure. Reports of violence sufficient to invalidate majorities already reported for democrats increase in number and definiteness, Iftheseare fully established the re- sult will raise the majority to many thousands. Iam unable to report the vote by counties to-day. D, H. OHAMBERLAIN, Governor. PUBLIC SENTIMENT. SECRETARY CHANDLER AND ATTORNEY GENERAL SA¥T ON THE SITUATION IN LOUISIANA—THE DUTIES OF THE RETURNING BOARD—WHAT PARISHES WILL BE THROWN OUT, AND WHY— OUTRAGES AND INTIMIDATION ALLEGED— HAYES’ ELECTION CONSIDERED CERTAIN. Wasutxatox, Nov. 12, 1876. Secretary Chandler, having been consulted to-night im regard to the situation, says that he can tell the whole thing in a few words, which is this, ana he wants the American people to know that it comes from him :—Governor Hayes is elected President, and there is going to be a fair count, That is all that is going to be said by bim or known by the people until the counting of the votes is complete. This will take a week or ten days at least from this time, Secretary Chandler seemed very confident and determined, ‘MR. EVARTS NOT EMPLOYED, ‘The rumor that Mr. Evarts was to be employed as special counsel and is coming here for the parpose of consultation with President Grant and Secretary Chandler is denied by the latter, who says that he ig not going to employ any special counsel and that he does know anything about any sueb under. standing. He thought if Mr. Evarts accepted the invitation extended to him by President Grant to go to New Orleans he would go down there in the same ca- pacity as the others invited togoand see that there was a fair counting of the votes, and to add, by his character and reputation for fairness and justice, bis testimony as to the true state of things to be devel- oped. 4 FAIR COUNT. ‘The government was determined to have a fair count and the result only of a fair election. Secresary Chandler echoes the patriotic words of President Grant’s telegram to General Sherman, and speaks as it he fs resolved to act up to the full measure of the exciting duties he is called on to perform. He will, his friends say, stand up under all the responsibility which may be thrust upor iim. . NEWS FROM LOUISIANA. Advices {rom New Orleans to-night from democratic sources persevere in the assertion that Louisiana has gone democratic, and by a majority of about 7,500. REPUBLICANS DESPAIRING. Republicans hore who are willing to figare upon this majority for the sake only of hypothesis be gin to despair of success if the figures aro the trath, for even the allowance which Gov. ernor Kellogg wilt claim from the Returning Board as an offaet to the alleged intimidation 1m parishes which gave him «# majority of 3,000 and now give Tilden a majority of 4,000, will not be enough to tarn the scales in favor of Hayes. REPORTS IN CIRCULATION. It was reported among the democrats here to-night that Packard bad telegraphed to Attorney General Taft that the best that could be done in the way of throwing out votes lawfully wae 2,000, and that if in ‘she canvass of the returns the democratic majority exceeded that amount the State was lost to the repup- licans. ‘ ‘THM ATTORNEY GENERAL'S ViEws, The Attorney General; who has been ia frequent consultation since yesterday with the President and his confréres ot the Cabinet upon the political situa- tion, denies that any such message has beon received trom Packard, and says he is of tho impression from all be can learn that thefe is a large republican majority in Louisiana for Governpr Hayes. Further, that, even allowing what. the demo- out apy of the parishes whore there is known to have been fraud and intimidation, the republicans will still have at least 2,000 majority, The advices which he bas from what he regards the best source warrants his belief that with fair allowance, irrespective of tho democratic charges of illegal voting, the republicans ‘will have a right to claim a majority of 6,000 or 7,000. COURSE OF THE RETURNING ROARD, He says that, according to the iaw, the Returning Board will proceed frst to count the votes of those parishes where there is no conflict or cheating and then take up those in regard to which there is dispate, Im these latter cases, after cxamining them carefully with the sid of witnesses, affidavits and otber concurrent testimony, if they find that there has been either fraud or intimidation they will proceed to throw out the whole vote of the parish, which they are authorized and bound to do by law, Thus, while the republican vote, sueh a8 It may prove te be, will be lost, the alleged fraudulent or improper democratic vote will be ignored and the parish left out, which the Jaw requires to be done. The Retarning Board have, by « statute of the State, police as well Judicial anthority, and by is their action ts final, no matter what it is, l- OUTRAGES ALLEGED, ‘The Department of Justice has information already Of the killing of # United States marshal tn ono of the porthern parighes of the State, aad other facts which are te be brought to the Knowledee of the Returning Board in its deliberations upon a count of the votein the contested parishes, He bad no doubt, from all the in- formation which he could obtain, that there was aD honest republican majority in Louisiana He believed thie was going to be demonstrated, and shat the result ‘Would be honestly favorable to Governor Hayes. POPULAR SENTIMENT. The selection of prominent gentiemen of both parties, atthe suggestion of the President, \o proceed to New Orleans und aseertain leetoral vote of Louisi- which existed here during the last week, and produced @ more favorable feeling that the public peace will be Preserved. The subject, how tinues to be of absorbing interest, and to-day inquiries are made by numerous persons at places where news concerning elections js usually obtained, A large number of pri- vate telegram: sent hence for information con- cerning Loulsiana and Florida, although nothing official on the subject can be expected for some days. Meanwhile, each party claims the election of its respective candidates, Prominent gentlemen say that if the President would intimate that the va- cancies in the Louisiana Returning Board snould be filled by persons ef known honesty, and therefore having the confidence of the public, aud if this should be done, there could be no cause for complaint in any quarter of the result to be reported. REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS. The headquarters of the National Republican Com- mittee has beeh removed from New York to No. 1,006 F street, north, jn this city. Chairman Chandler and Secretary McCormick are now here. ARRIVAL OF SENATOR GORDON AT COLUMBIA, 8. C.—TACTICS OF THE BOARD OF CANVASS- ERS—ATTITUDE OF THE DEMOCRATS—CHAM- BEBLAIN'’S REDUCTION OF HIS MAJORITY. Couvmuta, 8. C., Nov. 12, 1876. Senator Gordon, of Georgia, arrived here this alter- moon on a special train from Atlanta. He comosat the instance of the National Democratic Committee, and expects to mect a number of Northern Senators, to be present at a count of the vote of the State by the republican Board of Canvassers, a major- ity of whom are candidates for re-election, This is regarded as a timely and important movement, particularly as I find republicans nore who consider that South Carolina {athe pivotal point in the Presi- dential contest. As far as can be ascertained from re- publican sources the TACTICS OF THE REPUBLICAN BOARD OF CARVASSERS is to throw out ® number of the heavy democratic counties on the ground of alleged frauds, and thus secure the election of the State and Prosigential elec- toral ticket, A COUNTER MOVEMENT, As a counter movement the democratic counsel, who are armed with testimony and proots of stupendous frauds on the part of the republicans in Beaufort, Charioston, Georgetown and Sumter counties, wnere Chamberlain’s entire strength comes from, will insist on these counties being also thrown out, A result of this will be a flerce and desperate contost before the Board. DEMOCRATIC CONFIDENCE. The democrats of the State, incluaing their colored supporters, are so confident of the victory they have achieved against @ corrupt party, aided by the entire machinery of the federal government, that they are determined not to be cheated out of it by a fraudulent count or by any means not fair, No vio- lence will be resorted to, but every legisiative and legal remedy will be exhausted before they consent to a reversal of what they regard as the decided and un- mistakable verdict ot the people of South Carolina ‘ro-night the leaders of both parties are in deep and earnest consultation as to the course to be pursued, 4 SUGGESTION OF FRAUD. A republican, who is in the confidence of the leaders: but who voted for Hampton, informed me to-day that republican managers of elections in several of the counties which had given democratic majorities had been telegraphed to make a recount if they suspected any frauds were perpetrated by the democrats. This is nothing more nor less than an intimation or a sug- gestion to reopen the ballot boxes and either staff them or throw out democratic votes. No returns have been received to-day. The result as telegraphed the Han’ remains unchanged, except that Governor Chamberlain has now come down toa majority of 2,000 for his ticket as against 0,000 yester- day. ABREST OF THE MURDERER OF E. H. WALTER— BAD CHARACTER OF THE NEGRO POLICE— FEVERISH CONDITION OF THE CITY—AN OUT- BREAK ONLY PREVENTED BY THE PRESENCE OF TROOPS. Cuar.rsrox, Nov. 12, 1876. ‘The negro policoman, charged with the murder of Mr. E, H. Walter on the 8th inst., was arrested yester- day and lodged in jail A committee of citizens waited on the Mayor this afternoon and demanded the dis- charge of a number of notorious negro roughs and potitictans who have been heretofore employed on the police foree, and the Mayor promised compliance. The police force 1s composed of about seventy-five negroes and about twenty-five white men, nine-tenths of whom are avowed republicans, ARGRO TURBCLENCR, ‘The negroes are for the most part violent partisans and notorious vagabonds, with probably a few honora- ble exceptions. The Heratp reporter on tho day of the riot saw many of them rush into the station house, seize the Winchester rifles and clamor to be allowed to go out and shoot the damned rebels. In the interview with the Mayor this evening that functionary said that he did mot think it was the policemen who shot down the citizens, and reminded the committee that thore were 1.500 negroes belonging to the State militia, who had breech loading rifles and bayonets, and that it was probably some of these who killed Mr. Walter, I know, of my own knowledge, that three-fourths of the negro policemen Delong to the State militia nore. CONDITION OF THE CITY. Affidavits have been submitted that Mr. T. DO. Wag- ner, one of the most prominent citizens of Charleston, and the agent of the Clyde line of steamers between New York and Charleston, was waylaid by a negro policoman whiie quietly wending his way to his piace of business. The policeman clapped a pistol to his head, while the crowd of negroes shouted, “Shoot the damned white ——.’” Mr, Wagner's lite was only saved by the intorvention of one of his former servants, Ladies do not dare to walk the streets with- out running the risk of being insulted by negross, un- jess the United States troops aro in sight, and fresh outrages are reported daily, THE VEDRRAL PATROL, General Hunt, with three companies of the First and Filth artillery, stil has command of the city, and the troops patrol the streets dayand night in squads of twenty men. As lo they remain and as long as Genera? Hant continues in command of the forces, there is little danger of a general outbreak. THR LOCAL AUTHORITING, ‘Tho Mayor with bis partisan negro police force ts utterly powerless to preservo the peace, and, should the troops be removed, the negroos will again raise a riot which will result in a serious outbreak, as tho whites are determined to putup no longer with the agaressions of the biack policemen and the negro militia REMARKABLE SCENES AT THE GALT HOUSE, IN LOUISVILLE—SERENADE TO THE COMMISSION BOUND YOR NEW ORLEANS—SPEECHES oF JUDGE STALLO, SENATORS STEVENSON, M'DON- ALD, DOOLITTLE AND OTHERS. Louisvinim, Nov. 12, 1876. ‘The excitement and enthusiasm over the result of the Presidential contest surpasses any similar feeling ever known in Kentucky. At the Galt House, Satur- day, at midnight, 5,000 or 6,000 citizens, with bands of masic, called upon the gentlemen en route tor New Orleans, serenaded them, and called lustily for speeches. General Palmer, of Illinois; Governor Me- Creary, Senator Stevenson, of Kentucky; Messrs. Love, Manson, McDonald and Julian, of indiana; Doo- Ittle, of Wisconsin, and Trumbull, of Illinois, all made brief addresses, counselting peace and quiet and ex- pressing confidence in Governor Tilden’s election and the desire of the whole people to have him inaugu- rated. Judgo Stailo, of Ohio, also spuke. He said trom what he had seen in the North, among both ro- publicans and democrats, the temper of the people 1s such that fraud and violence will not be permitted in Louisiana, Senator Stevonson thinks ‘THE REFORM VERDIOT Is the people will be maintained. General Manson ing the excitement | reeet and honestly, be it Hayes or Tilden. General Palmer speaks roughly of Grant amd counsels peace, He the American people, Senator McDonald said we bave won honestly. Let Tilden and Hendricks be inaugurated mext March and we will have a country united, not alone in law, but in the hearts of the people, ‘The tact, said ex-Senator Doolittle, need not be dis- guised at this moment that the country isin a state of great solicitude; but my hope is that truth and justice will prevail, The moral sense of the people ia aroused, and no one will dare trample on the sacred- ness of the ballot, The Senator closed by the state- ment that, in his opinion, Tilden and Hendricks were certainly elected. Mr. Trumbull, of Illinots, gave it as his opinion that the people should see thatthe fruits of their victory are gathered by those to whom they justly belong. He believed that the States voted for the det pombe nees, because in them they perceived the of honesty and reform, They wish whi for, and should have it, He said, so far con. cerned or my influence extends, I desire only that the votes shall be fairly and honestly counted, and wheg ‘this shall be done in the result we will all acquiesce, ‘RX-GOVERNOR CURTIX. Ex-Governor Bigler and the Hon. Samuel Randall wero not serenaded, but passed through thiscity to. day. Interviews with them wero had on the train, Governor Curtin regards the occasion as one of grave moment tothe country, and from intercourse with people in several districts at home he is satisfied thas they, regardiess of party, view the situation, espect ally since the intervention of the military, with the deepest concern. The mission of himself and assool- ates is onw of peace and justice. Their first care wil? be to ascertain the truth, ‘THE TRIUMPE OF HONESTY in giving effect to the will of the people as expressed atthe ballot box is of infinitely greater importance than the success of this or that candidate for the Presidency. Ifthe impression prevails that a cand: date is seated through traud the effect will be most un- fortunate upon the public mind, It will be the duty of this commission to use every effort to induce the Returning Board to make a fair canvass of the vote of Louisiana, If it shall then appear that Hayes has carried the State, the people will be counselled to submission but if improper results aro used to effect this result the Northern gentiemon on the ground will take care that @ true statement of the case is laid before the American people, a tribunal not likely to err in ita judgment. The country will, no doubt, abide by an honest verdict, and there is no reason to believe that military orders or movements of troops are necessary to seoure that verdict. Mr. Randall coincided with these views, In general he was of the opinion that the presence of Northern gentlemen, of both parties, who go to New Orleans te preserve the purity of the ballot box, will prevent any arbitrary partisan action by the Returning Board, not- withstanding that it is composed exelusively of repub- Neans. He thinks the real remedy, however, lies in the Congress of the United States that; THR TWRNTY-SECOND JOINT RULE still governs both houses; that never since his pres ence in Congress have the joint rales been re-enacted at ig of any Congress. On the contrary, they jered as having continuous existence. It is within the province of the House to reject any fraudulently made up return, whether from Louisiana, Florida or South Carolina, as was done by s republican House and Senate in the cases of Georgia and Arkansag in 1868, There is FURTHER CONSTITUTIONAL RELIEF in the power of the House of Representatives, which it is not necessary now to discuss, The moral power ot Mr. Tilden having nearly 300,000 majority on the popular vote should and will have great weight with the American people. Like Governor Curtin and Mr. Randall, Governor Bigler regards the question of an honest election as certainly above party considerationg Hoe characterizes the corruption or perversion of the ballot box asa crime against the Republic, He bolds that no man or party dare assame such a responsibility. He who would do this would bea traitor to our republican in- stitutions, an enemy tothe public peace and the best interests of the American people, This crime would strike at the very vital spark of our form of govern. ment The people will not, and, indeed, dare not tole. rate it, for the first successful attempt to gain political power by s {fraud upon the ballot would be the end of self-government in our country; and to prevent the possibility of such a crime, as he ‘understands it, 1s the mission uf those whoare aow going to the South to be. GOVERNOR TILDEN WOULD SPURN the office unless legally eiected, and h2 would sparn Governor Tilden if he would hold it were the means , by which he attained it tainted with fraud. Mr. Hewitt and party came by Louisville ine special train, behind time, and did not stop. He is understood to have said at Cincinnati that the American peeple know Tilden is elected and will see to his inaugeration, ‘A private despatch from New Orleans here says, the | sfopublicans are desperate and mean misonjef, CoLONEL LAMAR'S VIEW OF THE SITUASION—A POLITICAL PLOT TO BEVERSE THE VOTE OF CERTAIN SOUTHERN STATES—TROUBLE AN- TICIPATED—ARRIVALS AND ANTICIPATED 4B RIVALS. Naw Oxceans, Nov. 12, 1876. The new arrivals have been very generally visited to-day, Among the other callers were General Nienolls, Colonel Lamar, in conver@iition to-night, took a very gloomy view of the situation. He thinks the attempt to reverse the vote of Louisiana and other Southern States the result of a political plot inaugurated imme- diately after the October elections, and that the repub> cans will STOP AT NOTHING in carrying out their designs, The men selected by Grant to come here are all bittor partisans, who will indorse any course that may be adopted. He, more- over, thinks that Morton’s trip to California was with a direct view to secure Oregon, of which State he har but little hope. There isa general feeling of depres sion and apprebension pervading the eommanity, although everything is exeeedingly quiet. The repub- licans claim that official returns mako large differences in their favor over the reported votes, but they decline to be specific, BUTLER BENT FOR, United States Marshal Pitkin telegraphed Genera Butier to-night, soliciting his presence here, and thinki he will come. ‘ARRIVALS Lamar, Chalmers and Watterson have just arrived of the St Charles Hotel, whither the democratic head- quarters bave been removed. There is little or Bo excitement. ANTICIPATED ARRIVALS.
