to suffice for a year or two. and conse.

tons will have to be made by the other
side to meet the emergency. We regard
such condition Of things in the imme-
diate future as more than doubtful. espe-
cially as the soldiers are here with I'm.
eouiyocal orderr. We therefore advise
our Republican friends to disregard
threats, and do their duty without fear.
That duty consists in counting the vote Of
this State acc ording to law. This will de-
yolve on the 1etul. ling board. The ex-
parte figures which have been published

! those given by the REPUBLICAN. being un.
| official are susceptible Of revision, and
may doubtless be found to concede too
much to the enemy.
There is no need Q: threatening the

any event. Even If it shall prove that the
bulletin has been Growing beforeit got out

deceptive, the faul: will not be with the
faithful officers who expose the trick. but
with the journal that attempted to palm Il
off upon rather gullible public. The re-
turns will be counted and full effect give1
to what they signify. If this can be done
