DANGERS TO THE KEPUBLICAN PARTY, ‘They saw the dangers menacing It ‘hey know what | Was needed to bolster it up, but they could not accom piish everytuing. Yo my mind, continued Mr, Phullips, the point of departure in the republican ranks is very evident, The sate issue is going on to-day that went | on in 1550 and 1554 in the whig ranks, It is the same method by wkich Providence always replaces one party with another, Describing the fall of the whig pari and the causes that lea to it, he proceeded to draw a parallel between it and the republican party. It bas put slavery under, he said; it has disintegrated the South; it has given you the nation as it stands to-day to a great exient, and in a large measure its work is done, Representing the untamable spirit of the South, despite its thrashing and the impossibility of com: pelling it to change its iceas, he compared its growth to our own, and showed our necessarily similar mate- | rial characteristics, As a nauion we are firm and un- Yielding. We pride ourselves upon our strength of will una tenacity of conviction, The South has, in a meas- ure, developed in this respect the same idcas that we ave. Do you suppose, be asked, the SAXON MLUOD OF THK SOUTH bad its notions beaten out of it by Gettysburg or Appo- mattox? Suppose Lee had pressed Graat back to the Jakes, and insyead of Appomattox the final deteat had Deen ‘at Cleveland, and our boys im blue bad been parolled in Columbus, avd the Contederate flag floated over Washington, would we have taken dowa Bunker Hill Monument! Would Massachusetts have ackaow! edged slavery anda graded civijizauon? No! True ig the spirit of our emblem— | ‘That flag shall mark where’er it flonts Au island of the free. | Just as they aro we should have been, South Carolina | Is just es determined, just as aggressive, as we could have been, A VIEW OF THE SOUTH, The South has no business; the people have been bred up to nothing but idleness, They nave but one trade, one prolession, and twat 18 politics. In this they are expert, keen, adroit, a8 we kuow trom our dealings with them. From politics the Southerner hopes to recarve his fortune, He will agitate this question.

It is the first clement that presents itself to the republican party standing where the whig party didio 1s bave been no calculations for Mr. Tilden’s sui rept as beginning at a solid South; that is the corner itone of the constitution always.’ We consider there {s no calculation tn favor of Governor Hayes’ success | axcopt DISINTEGRATING THE SOUTH, | A divided South, L mean a healthy imudividuality of Btates, such us We are broken iuto naturally, 1s a necessary fact in his election, What was it before the war’ A solid South.

One ot the gravest mistakes, Mr. Philips | Claimed, that the journals of the Nortn are making to- day, 13 1b ignoring this question of the South, Reading an extroct from a republican paper charging the loss of the government epun certain of its statesmen, he asked, Does the party that throws mud ut its candidates ex: success v ne republican party in avy other sense tha. of its Value im the Southeru issue is dead, andi the hying Umber whieh 11 ¢ are to rely for the future. Discussing the ptitude of all public officers, he said:—You cuarge a public man with any erime Whatever up the ieebiest possible evidence, and two- thirds of the people, looking into their own hearts, believe the charge. For forty yeurs the press, the pul: | pit and the politiclins of tue country bave been cn- deavoring to inake people believe they could rightlully do What was wropg. Relapsing into a discussion of the ebief subject of his story again, he said:—We are | at the people which this long debai ade us. | ne South bears the scars of four geuerations that have held their feet upon the necks of a fallen race, and the North wears UGLY INDICATIONS of its long per.od of semi sympathy, when It went hand mhand with it.

My sympathies with the North during the late civil war, while residing in England; the conduct of the demo- | cratic Congress during the late session, and notably the speeches of B.

How the absolute monarchists of Europe must laugh at this farce of an election by the voice of the people in the great American Republic, whose boast is a “gov- erument of the people, by the people and tor the people !”” This mode of counting votes has rudely awakened me from adelusive dream, as I believe it will also thou- sands of others, 1 trust, sir, that having once set the ball rolling you will pot rest until this blot on the lair fame of republican institutions 18 removed, and that at the next Presidential clection we may be enabled to record our votes for the candidates themselves, and that the will of the nation as expressed by the majority ut the ballot box shall be the law ot the lana, Should Governor Hayes be elected 1t wilt be a con- tinual taunt to him that he represents only the smaller half of the people, and to an honest man (which all parties concede tim to be) I cun conceive nothing more galling, while there is a gloomy prospect of tour years of turbulent agitation among the defeated-suc- cessful democracy, ANGLO REPUBLICAN, CAN THIS BE DONE?

HE DECLINES TO TALE ABOUT HIS POSITION, Brttows Fats, Vt, Nov. 18, 1876. No such excitement over the result of a Presidential contest has ever befusg becn witnessed in this State as that which now agitates our entire people. When every body has been looking to the three far Southern States for solution of the political problem, all of a sudden the New Englanders ure thrown into a fever heat of anxiety by the announcement that Henry N. Sollace, the present Postmaster of Bridgeport, and ono ofthe chosen republican Presidential electors from Vermont, is declared to be ineligible as an elector under the Constitution. The Hrratp representative has endeavored to ascertain from the gentleman in question his own views upon the matter, At this writing. however, he declines to talk upon the sub- ject until some legal gentlemen shall have taken the ‘question mto deliveration, The discovery hus caused Spirited discussions pro and con, which Vexes the re- publicans considerably, WISCONSIN ELECTORAL VOTE.

It ts said at democratic beadquarters here that, by a blunder in the printing of the republican electoral ticket of Wisconsin, only nine republican electors have Deen chosen out of the ten from that State, ang that as a consequence the bighest candidate on the democratic ticket 18 also elected, giving Mr. Tilden the requisite majority of 185 votes, regardless of what may be the result of the elections in the three disputed Southern States, ‘HAYES’ MAJORITY IN OHIO, Conumnus, Noy. 13, 1876, @Seml-ofticial returns from all counties of Ohio are now in and show a majority for Hayes of 7,332, PHILADELPHIA DEMOCRATS, A DELEGATION OF THEM GOING TO FLORIDA— A CONSULTATION IN NEW YORK ON SUNDAY—A TELEGRAM FROM MR. HEWITT. Purtapeeuta, Noy. 18, 1876, Mr. John R, Read, Mr. Henry S. Hogert, Assistant District Attorney of this city, and several ether Phila- delphia democrats of prominence, went to New York yesterday at the invitation of the National Democratic Committee. During the afternoon they had a con- sultation with Hon. Abram 8. Hewitt, chairman of the committee, in relation to the selection of democrats from the Quaker City to join the delegation of the representatives of the party who were about starting for the South to oversee the counting of the Votes in Florida and the two other doubtful States. Tho Philadelphians were assured by Mr. Hewitt that he had advices trom entirely trustworthy persons in Florida, South Carolina and Louisiana, informing him that there could be no doubting the majority of the votes in all those States having becn cast for the Tilden and Hendricks’ election, Mr. Hewitt and the committee were anxious that this city should have a representa- tion in the delegation going South, and that they should be men of the most unexceptionabie character, so well and favorably known to this coautry that their opinions would command the respect and confidence of the whole community. Of course tho visiting Phila- dolphians joined in this view of the matter, and after agreeing upon several names the committee returned to Philadelphia, In accordance with the agreement arrivod atin New York yesterday the following tele- gram was sent:— New York, Nov. 12, 1876.

Mr. R®ha, Mr. Thompson and others from this erty will leave to-mignt, and also Mr, Guthrie, of Pittsburg, Mr. Dallas caguot go, it is said, At the consultattun with Mr. Howitt yesterday that gentlemen expressed an earnest desire that the rep- | reseniatives of newspapers of both parties would pro ceed South to ascertain the situation of political affairs in the douptiul States from personal observation. The excitement in this city over the elections has very nearly worn itself oot. The streets down wwo are beginning to resume their wonted appearace, and {tis vow possible to get within a hundred feet of tho Times bulletin board without being uncomiortably crowded, The democrats have grown pertectly cont- dent, apparently, of their triumph, aud, although the republicans do hot officially give it up, they are grow- ing despoudent again.

NEW YORKERS STILL 1N DOUBT. POPULAR FEELING ON THE DELAY OF ELEC- TION RETURNS— CLOSE OF REPUBLICAN HEAD- QUARTERS—OTHER MATTERS IN THE CITY, The excitement in this city yesterday concerning the probable result of the election 1m the three doubtful States, though considerable, was not by apy means so great as it had been on Friday or even Saturday last, when it had very much abated Tho great mass of the people have appurently come to the conclusion thatit is better patiently to await the official returns without any longer Wasting breath in discussing the probabill- ties of the situation, However, large crowds duricg the entire day yesterday assembled tn the vicinity of the newspaper offices despite the orders of the police to ‘move on ’ when the sidewalks became impassable or the yells of the stage drivers and car conductors to get out of the way “if yer don’t want to git killed.” During the forenoon’ the gatherings were not very large, but as the day drew on and rumors of the “positive”? success of tho democrats or of tho republicans began to fly thick and fast, the excitement increased so:;ne- what, and with it the crowds, It was really amusing to see whata puzzled look the faces of some of the seekers after the truth, who.were unable to fad it anywhere so clearly defined on the bulletins as to com- pletely satisty their longings, wore as they went from one bull to anotner. The partisan newspapers had their flags still flaunting defiantly, and of course the democrats were only too ready to believe that the flags on the democratic buildings were harbingers of the truth and nothing bat the truth. The republicans were equally confident that the flags flying from the repubheans office tops were mata “daunting lie,” Ib was no wonder that the crowds looked puzuled, SKEKING KNOWLEDGE UNDER DIFFICULTIBS, One bulletin showed as plainly as figures (ot a par- tisan arithmetic) could show anything that South Carolina had gone democratic “beyond a question” — an expression which, 1m the opinion of many of the more puzzled sovereigns, seemed to indicate that the Palmotto State had gone beyond its border lime for voters. The same bulletin, in a bold sweep of five black lines, declared Florida “sure” at last for the de- mocracy, while as to Louisiana “there was no longer any doubt’ about that, While democrats were chuck- ling over this happy solution of the difficulties of tho situation the republican, only @ block or two off, were wondering to themselves how the democrats could be so blind when all they had to do was to look at the bulletins they beheld before them, and which told ofacertain “reliable” democratic personage having conceded Florida tothe republicans, at the same time that a near-by bulletin declared from an “official” source that the three doubtiul States had really gone for Hayes, and that returns received (of course in a confidential way) proved that blessed fact beyond dis- pute. Indeod, tothe man who only desired to find out the real situation of affairs regardless of party the work of going from one partisan bulletin to another was as irksome as it was oxasporatirg. ‘‘What’s the latest news anynow?” asked one gentleman from another as they met on Broadway near the Park, the one having been down to see What was up, the other coming down to find eut the truth of a report he had heard up town, “10's all settled at last,” replied the first, ‘How, what is it??? was the eager query. “Weill, each party swears that tho other purty has not carried any one of the three States. That settles it, don’t itt’? They sepa- rated. lt was IN THE VICINITY OF THE HERALD OFFICE that the crowds were the greatest during the day. Not finding anything bat contraditions elsewhere they evi- dently leit that if there was any real pews they would tind tton the Hexatp bulletins—the reports as to tho vote in the three States just as they were recerved, re- gurdiess of whatever party inado the claim of victory. About halt-past twelve a despatch appeared on the bulletin board in front of the HkRaLp office stating that South Carolina bad gone democratic by 1,500 majority and that United States Marshal Wallace, of Charleston, had given up the State as lost tothe publicans, ‘At this time there was a quiet crowd of avous 100 in front of the building silently watching ‘the inscription of the despatch, The moment that was dono the quiet crowd sent up a ringing cheer, aud a curious scene followed. The people passing up aud down the sidewalks in front of the Astor House and Park row paused for a moment, then hastened over to learn the cause of the cheering. The *buses, carts, carriages and buggies came to agudden balt, and in ten minutes’ time a dead- lock was created aioug Broadway for a distance of two blocks. The people, old aud young, hastening from ail directions to see what the latest announcement was showed the deep interest felt by the community tn the issue ofthe hour. Elderly gentlemen, feeble of limb, might be seen making a hop, skip and « jump over the street with all the ardor of youth Nobody to mind the risk of being run over by the passing ve- hicles Men dived under horses’ heads and tails and dodged around wagon poles and shafts view of the bulletins. Others, not caring toc Street, lifted themselves up by the railings of St. Paul chureh, and for a while the most intense concern in th nature of the news on the bulletin board was shown ail around, Scenes of a similar kind were epacted in tho after- noon, Nota man passed up or down Broadway with- out Ca ig fOr a moment to cast a glance at the bul- letin, The ’bus drivers wero wholly unavie to control their curiosity, and the result was a frequent deadlock in the street. ‘The cheering of the news that told of a democractic victory in South Carolina was a piain indication that any mixed crowd of New Yorkers ts bound to contain a preponderance of dgmovrata The only bulietin of the whole day that calmed fen settied down and allayed alarm was the one aroun the corner from that of the Telegram and in tront of the Hrka.p office saying, ‘Latest returps give Hampton a, majority of 1,600 and ‘Tiiden 1,000.

Whut they got for their pains is easily understood, The day, in fact, was rather an irksome one ior tbe crowds; they were wot overoxcited and not ili, humored. GOVERNOR TILDUN'S MOVEMEN8. Governor Tilden’s movements yesterday were con- Mined to bis usual horseback and driving exercise, whieh does so much to strengthen him -and keep him fresh and bright during this most painful suspense. He rose late, baving been with company until a late hour of Sunday night, breakfasted at ten o'clock with the family—which is composed of Mrs. Pelton, the Governor’s sister; Miss Laura Pelton, ber pretty little | daughter, and Colonel Pelton, her soo—received numerous visitors and talked politics anti! noon, when he took bis midday dinner, after whicn he, with the elastic step of a man of forty, instead of sixty-two, swung himself into the saddle and galloped away to the Park amid the cheers of tho incy:table crowd which forms in front of bis residence whenever the Governor makes his appearance, Upon his return from his ride, whieh lasted about an hour, he drove out alone in bis T cart, and his fast team never went at a brisker pace than it did yester- day. Certainly there was no nervousness in tho frm grip with which the Governor seized and kept tho rems, He returned from his invigorating drive carly inthe evening mm time for tea, which js punctually served at six o’clock in the Governor's house. The residence continues to be overrun with enthual- astic democrats, whocome to shake hands with the man whom they belie’ bound to be their next Presi- dent, Many of these are merely Centennial visitors, who only puss through the city, but will not Jose tho opportunity of sceirg Governor Tilden, The Governor evidently thinks that with bis probable elevation to the Presidency his duties and obligations toward the public are even greater than they have been inthe past, and he is even tnoro accessible than be was be- fore the ‘lection. He sees everybody, A lunatic, whose visit to Governor Tilden wag noticed some days agointbhe Herap, came again yesterday, but Gov- crnor Tilden still saw bim to dismiss him personally. ‘That this was done in the gentlest and most delicate manner need not be told. Among the visitors were also many ladies, who called to view the floral chair, emblematical of the Presidential , Tecently pre- sented to the Governor by an admiring friend. The Governor received many despatches of a unilorinly favorable character, but he does not expect any de- cisive news from the three doubtful States until the returns shall bave been officially counted. He views the situation with manifest calmness, feeling evidently convinced that ke bas secured the necessary majority of tho Electoral College, and that he will undoubtedly be installed next March if right is done. Meanwhile he counsels patience, moderation and calmness to all his friends, who denounce in bitter terms tho alleged determination of the republican managers to count bin out THE REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS. The only remaining room of the National Repubii- can Committee was closed last evening. The hgad- quarters will be hereafter in Washington, where Hon. Zach Chandler and Governor R. G. McCormick now are, M, A. Clancy, the last official representative of the committee, left last evening for Washington. Yesterday there were a number of prominent callers, principally gentlemen of this State and city, loclud- ing John Jay, Salem H. Wales, John I. Davenport, Commissioner Wheeler, General George A. Sheridan, General Thomas W. Conway, Governor E. v. Mor- gan, Marvin Chance, of Obto; Sheridan Shook, Major General Stckles, General Sbaier, Genoral Cuarlcs K. Graham, General Kiddon and inany others, Lhe news received was contained eDtirely in private despatches and was regarded as, very satisfactory. Advices irom Florida und Louisiana were of a character to excite the Lveliest hopes of success In the republicans, In the listof gentlemen above, with nearly all of whom the writer conversed, there were few if any that doubted the election of Hayes and Wheeler. They regarded the States called doubttul #8 anything but doubtiul, and seemed convinced that if a fair vote was allowed there the result would be the triumph of the republican ticket. In speaking of Ono Mr, Chunce said that during the two weeks previous to election in that State the election betting at | the New York pool rooms was bulictined all over the State, .much to the injury of the republican ticket. There was not @ country grocery store im the State or a fence that was not pincarded with the betting fyures. thought that the effect had been to lose 10,000 votes to the party, Tn clearimg up the rooms there were many articles of more or less value to be disposed of, aud small me- mentoes were eagerly sought after. The elegant ot! painting of Governor Hayes wus sent to the Hon James G. Biaine, the marbie bust of Governor Hayes to the Union League Club, and the flags with which the rooms bad been decorated were forwarded to Gov ernor MeCormic! ‘Tho despatcves received during the day were mainly those asking for news, and some of them were decid- edly funny. One, coming from a tar Westeru State, said:—Have no fear jor the Pacis slope; bat send us the news, the nows, the news.” Auother read, “Can vet on Hayes’ and still an- other, ‘Am 1 sate in betting on Hayes and Wheeler? Answer ut once.’ The cominities did nov” answer betting despatches, and it ts to be presumed twat the unfortunate better is still on the ragged edge of uncertainty. Again came a despatch saying, “For God’s sake, enlighten us,” and another, “Shi hold the fort’? A very prominent republi graphea, “Give, O give me the news,” ‘Is Hayes elected ?”’ said another, and some one wanted to kaow if the committee were “iully convinced of Samusi J. ‘Tilden’s election.”” One party, evidently of a serious tufa of mind, telegraphed, “Can't you give us # cramb of comfors?" and ua lis despateb Was auswered by a very efithagiastic member of the committee it may | fairly ve considered that bis “crumb” assumed the pro- portion of a loat, A gontlet indeed, many geutiemen, telegraphed that they wore waiting aud their anxiety was shown 1. the form of the despatch, For instunce:—“Send me the Jatest, Be quick. I am ‘waiting.”? Another, whose wholo soul must havo been ‘wrapped up in the election, say ‘For heaveu’ssuke send ine the real situation, 1 will remain in the tele- gruphic office tor your auswer.”” vove are only a tew of the handreds that were i, but they temd to show to some extent the ‘anxiety that prevalled throughout the Union, The headquarters of tue comm proper will here- after be in Washington, aithongh the Filth Avegue Hote! will probably sti be the headquarters for local republican politicians, HOW HAS LOUISIANA GONE?—GENERAL SHERI- DAN'S FIGURES--GENERAL CONWAY'S OPIN- 10N. ‘ Tho sole topic of conversation at the republican headquarters for the past twu days bas beon the state of afaira in Louisiana, The peculiar position that | State has been piaced in and the momentous question that seers to hang upon the decision of the Returning Board make the State the centre of doudts and hopes and fears, the extent of which are limited only by tho borders of the Union. The opmions of republicans generally seem to bo that @ fair vote in Louisiana would unquestionably give a fair republican majority. PENKRAL THOMAS W. CONWAY, Inte Saperintendent of Education in Louisiana and for many years a resident of the State, was io this city last evening, on bis way to Washington, He t# thor- oughly conversant with the politics of the State, und to a representative of tho Hxuaiv last evening gavo his opinion as totlows;— “L know Louisiana pretty thorooghly afer ten years of residence there, most of the time tu such military or civil official positiun as to put me ip commtnication with the people of all parts of the State. There hus been no election since 1463, including the oue of that year, when there nas not been fraud and violence on the part of the democrats a3 a means of overcoming the tmamense repablican majority. lt was this dispo- sition and the attending fucts that prompted tho Legis lavare to adopt the law providing a Returning Board, which sbould finally pass on the returns from every part of the State, The vote is not offcial wor binding tél passed upon and formally announced by that bouy. My knowledge is that heretofore whore violence, in- ‘timidation and fraad wore used to prevent a fair vote, or to seeure @ result by « fraudulent return to the State Board, the vote was entirely thrown out and the voting precincts treated exactly as if no votes what- ve a A been caat, This 1s required by the Siate liw, and ji from the past, and from tho law, I am such an immense repadlican tnojority | evidences aiready reported of lawlessness and vio~ loves, the State bas gone repubitcan by a largo legal majority, Vhat tho = Reswurning Board wil sor , and when reported by that body there is an Gud ty the Returuing Board—ex-Goverpor J. themen of high character, They wil! make a fair count and an honest report.

The idea Governor Kellogg will infuenee the Returping Board to violate tts duty is all bosh; ho would not if he could an? he could pot if be would. My own | opinion of the Governor is that he could not be tempted to do anyibing contrary to his duty in the matter of an election.” GENRKAL GEORGE 4 SHERIDAN, of Louisiana, a gentieman who Is also exceedingly well informed on the politics of bis State, was at the Fifth Avenue Hotel Jast evening. A representative of the HERALD had a very interesting conversation with the General, the substance of which will be found below. | The General also corrected the table of Bees pre- pared vy John McEnery, of Louisiana. He said shat it Was Impossibio to bave the official returns yet trom that State, It must all be estimate until ing Board is heard from, Said the G 183,359 people in Louisiana entitied census gives the State 450,611 blacks and 404,916 whites. Throughout the State thirty-s:x paris! have a black wmajority and tweuty two paris have # White majoriuy.’’ There was no reasonable question but that there waa w republican majority in that State tor the electoral t.cket. Aa far as the State Ucket was concerned tho General was of the opmion that it was sill extremely doubtful. The parishes of Kast Baton Rouge, De Soto, East Feliciana, Morehouse and Ouachita are placed by McEnery on the democrat side, They are unquestionably republican parishes, Kust Baton Rouge will give 1,200 republican majority andthe others at least 600 majority each, In thi tables below, prepared by General Sheridan the: parisnes have been placed where t General claims they Dbelowg, om the republican side, If here 18 trand perpetrated there the Returning Boara will undoubtedly throw out these five parishes, The Generai’s ngures give w republican majority in Louisiana of between 6,000 and 7,000, ‘This be claims cannot be reduced even tn throwing out the fraudulent parishes below 3,000. In the following tables General Sheridan changes the figures of Mr. McEnery, where in his opinion they should be changed, and takes from the democratic side five parishes mentioned above, which he puts to the credit of the repablicans: — REVUBLICAN, DEMOCRATIC.

An increasing quiet has been observable for a few days past in the rooms of the National Democratic Committee. Yesterday saw very little business trans- acted compared with formerly, and at times during the day tho headquarters were entirely destitute of visitors, Tho cause is obvious—Having satisfied them- selves that the returns {rom the doubtful States aro in their favor, and having done all within their power 0 Secure an honest decision, the democrats ure resting their case aud waiting forthe end, But, while they wait and wateb, they are not flagging in interest, nor do they lose any oppor- tunity of enlancing tho valuo of their position. At this ‘period they resemble the markctabio turkey, whieh, if it did not talk like a parrot, “thought alt ihe wore.” They do not throng the committee rooms in large numbers and clamor loudly over the situation of affairs, but they carry mstead an air of conviction and haten ponderingly to the grave opmions of their fel- lows. ‘They seo reason to be both reflective and conil- dent; but the latter quality is wisely reserved, so that no undue excitement shall blind them to the calm con- sideration of pending events, Governor Tilden usually calls each day at the Ever- ett House, and his calm, cheeriul and determined bearing 1s the sabject of general remark, In the early whatever reached the part of peniarday. no National jormmitice; bat later on. came a despatch from J. W. Patton, Chairman of the yeas ic State Committee of Louisiana, saying that th cial vote ih ‘that State, so fur as kuown, showed a majority jor Til- den of 8,099. A despatch was also received from Flor- ida ciaimigg @ democratic majority of not less than 1,200. Mr, A. 8. Hewitt, who was reported to be in the supny South, put in an appearance at the commit- tee rooms late last night. AT LIBERTY STREKT HEADQUARTERS, The excitement was not confined to the bulletin boards at the different newspaper offices and tne vari- ous uptown headquarters, but showed itself about the centres of business in the lower part of the city, At the headquarters of the Democratic National Commit- tee in Liberty street Colonel Pelton and Chairman Hewitt were absent, and the office was in charge of the clerical force. At nine A. M, it became evident that the scenes of last week were likely to be renewed and the office crowded by anxious politicians. With a view of abating what the young men have come to look upon as & nuisance a Dotice was posted on the door in- forming the curious crowds that ‘besieged it that the National Committee bad closed the rooms aud no information as to the situation in the doubtful States could bo obtained there, Nev theless, all day long there was.a constant stream of visitors pouring up the stairs who, not satistied with the notice, rapped nervously upon the door and asked for the latest news. The stereotyped answer to all was, “Go to the Everett Houge for news. We are re- ceiving no de-patehes here. The oifice is ciosed.”” Away they weat disappointed, in search of other sources of intelligence irom tho front. Tho following bulletins were issued :— A prominent banker of Charleston telegraphs to his correspondent here that South Carolina hus given 1,500 majority to Hampton and 1,000 majority to Tilden, and that United States Marshal Wallace coucedes the demo- cratic success. Ex-Governor Walker, of Florida, tele- graphs that that Stato gives 1,200 majority for Tiden, beyond question. Tho same news is corroborated by the Governor-elect, H New Oxnxaxs, Nov. 13, 1876.

The idea of revolu- tion or rivting or trouble arising, bo matter what the Tesult, does not prevail to nearly tne same extent that At did at the close of last week, “The people have been watebing closely and thinking earnestly,’ said one old pentieman; ‘and, what 1s more, the leading men of both parties Know this, and the coantry just now ts notin the mood to stand any nonsense.

New Yors, Nov, 13, 1876, To rus Epiror oF trax Hxnaip:— Tie members of the American Alliance party, or, as some of its more bitter opponents call it, the Know Notbing party, seem to me to place themselves in @ very absurd position regarding what they claim to be the doubdtiul States—south Carolina, Louisiana and Florida. 4 Furst—They persist in claiming that these States, all three of them, have given large majorities for Gov- ernor Hayes, though, unlike the democrats, they tail to give tle figures by counties, Grant this claim. Second-—~They claim and boast—and if this claim be valid their boast is an honorable one—that withia their ranks 1s 10 be found an overwhelming majority of the Union soldier element. Grant this claim, This ‘they all cheerlully admit, many of them claim and an equai pumber boast that their party con- trols all the political machinery in these States neces- sary to the election of Governor Hayes, Some, in- deed, go too far to please the more honest and cautious, and openly boast that this machinery will be put ip active motiou to accomplish theirends. Grant this claim, \ Fourth—Tho party which Governor Hayes leads, and in which are to be found remaining many who, like the writer, tollowed the lead of Lu a in two campaigns | and the lead of Grant in his first, makes the claim that I within ite ranks are emoraced powerful secret organiza- tious such as the Bovs in Blue, the Grand army of tho Republic, the Loval Legion, the Logion of Honor, the American Alliance, the American Citizens’ jue, the Order ot United American Mechanics, the Order of United Americans, and (while 1 cannot think of more while I write) perhaps several others. So far as I. know the democracy has had vo secret political or- gunizanon during the campaign just ended. Grant this ciaim, and 1 suspect that the glariug contrast above made will make no honest, open-minded man training ¥ ith Governor Hayes’ party very proud of his associa: tion. Now, then, Mr. Editor, what @ pitiable spectacle is presented when we grant all these ciaims! Wath large majorities in all of the three States; with an over- whelming majority of the brave Union soldier element; with all the oltice-bolders, money, Returnmg Boardd and bayouets—the political machinery necessary ta elect Governor Hayes by oue and one only; with seve. ral powerful secret organizations working, they must have dune, ia perfect harmony, and exerting, as th must done, a strong social influeace—with all majorities, all this strong and admirable machinery, all the Union soldiers and ail these bandod secret societies, what do we find the American Alliance party doing? Squealing aud velling, “More bayonets!?? “More troops!’’ ‘More soldiers or we arejost!’? As an American born and as an ex-Umon soldier I blush for the party that. once received trum | me a cheerful and earnest allegiance; but no, it is but the fragments, the tatters, the offscourings of the graud old republican party of Fremonv’s and of Lincolu’s days. Virtue departed from it when, in the persons of Sumner and Grecley, the brains aud backbone of the party leit isto win a \ short lived victory. Think you its old leaders, who battled through good report and through evil report for the liberty of the slave, would sanction a part, that makes the claims and boasts I have named? q address this lotter to the HxraLp because I believe it to be an independent jourval, and I appeal to that in- dependence for its publication. A lew words more. A humorous iIlustration suggests itself, Suppose six men of equal strength, of equal ‘istic science” and ot equal pugnacity meetin a public house and become. engaged in a broil, four of them opposing the remain- ing two. All things being equal—except the numbers | of the combatants, of courso—I simply ask which will yell, “Police!” first, “the tour” or “the two?” How my heart bleeds jor fering ‘‘four” im the Southern States!
