electoral votes being given to Hayes.
1t is reported that in one or two
districts of Louisiana, the tickets
were printed without the nam es of
all the Hayes electors, which throws
some of them behind the rest of the
ticket. Later advices state that
some of the Tilden electors are found
to be in the same situation, which,
if true, will offset the loss on our
side. It is claimed, however, that
according to former decisions in
Louisiana, the intent of the voter be-
ing evidently to vote for all the cleo
tors, the ballots will be counted as
if they had been cast for all.
The Democrats are industriously collect
ing affidavits of colored voters in various
parishes of Louisiana, to the effect that
they were not intilnidatee bnt voted the
Democratic ticket of thesfaWn fee will,
but these will not be sufficient, the Re-
publicans claim, to offset the overwhelm-
ing proofs of intimidation and, violence
practised toward the colored Republicans
in other parishes.
A protest against the constitutionality of
the Returning Board has been filed by the
Democratic leaders. If the Board decides
to hear arguments on this question, and
others that may be raised, there is no
knowing when decision wilLbe reached;
but as the law requires the Electors Of
each State to meet on the first Wednesday
in December, we do not see how the Board
can delay its decision beyond that time.
We shall not, therefore, have much longer
wait

"Let Us Have Peace J"

Since our last issue the excite
ment over the election has somewhat
subsided, as it has become appar-
ent to all that some time must elapse
before the official vote in Louisiana,
S. Carolina and Florida could be
canvassed, and the result ascertained.
Patience has been called into eXer
else, and both parties have wisely
settled down into determination to
watch and wait, as calmly as posi-
BILE under the circumstances, until
the official announcement declares
who is President-elect.
The suspense in regard to S. Car
olina was ended on Saturday last, by
the official declaration of the vote in
favor of Hayes and Wheeler, by an
average majority of about 500. This
adds.7 votes certain, to the Hayes
column, leaving only Louisiana, s,
and Florida, 4, still unsettled.
The Louisiana Returning Board
has commenced canvassing the vote,
and has invited five representative
Northern men of each party, now in
n. Orleans, to be present as wit
nesses. The invitation has been ac-
cepted, and a fair and laacfaA count
will thus be assured, with which the
great mass of the people of both par
ties will be satisfied, no matter which
side the decision may favor.
Happily there is one thing certain,
and that is, that the honest, sober
minded, sensible men, of both par
ties, are largely in the majority. and
they have too much at stake in the
preservation of the peace OF the
country, to allow themselves to be
Influenced by the crazy suggestions
of fools, fanatics and demagogues,
which would, if acted upon, lead to
civil war, with all its terrible conse-
quences.
There is but one path of peace
and safety in the existing crisis, and
that is, to let the laecS be strictly en-
forced, and Loyalty submitted to, by
every good citizen, no matter which
party may succeed in electing its
candidates. Any other course tends
to anarchy and strife, of which no
man can see the end. The country
can get along, if peace be preserved,
with either Hayes or Tilden for Presi-
dent, but it cannot afford to rush into
another civil war in this generation.
The latest advicss from Florida
are more favorable to the Republl-
cans, Democratic majorities in the
back counties proving considerably
smaller than at first claimed. We
think there is no doubt of her q

St. Nicholas for December.

Great will be the wailing among the little folks
this month, for St. Nicholas for December, which
has ordinarily been issued the goth, is to be held
back until the 95th but it is then to be the GRAND
CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY NUMBER.
We have not had peep even at its pages, but
Editor and Publishers promise to do their very
best and that means great deal where st. Mich
olas is concerned.
They tell US, among other contributions to this
number, will be paper by Mr.. Bryant, "The Boys

of the last century or the beginning of this.
The number will have nearly one hundred pages
and over fifty pictures.

ST. NICHOLAS IN ENGLAND.
The Publishers have been sending an edition OF
st. Nicholas to England during the past year, and
this is what they say about it over there:
"St Nicholas is the King Of publications issued
for the young on either side of the Atlantic" The
Southampton Observer. The Dorset Chronicle
speaks of it as 'the very paragon ofjuvenie books
and the Daily News adds: 1--WE wish we could
point out its equal in our periodical literature"
The London Literary World says: "There is no
Magazine for the young that can be said to equal
this production of Scrbners press. The Literature
and artistic illustrations are both superb" The
Weekly Times says. "St Nicholas is not filed
with namby-pamby literature, but healthy, amusing
and clever writing fills every page" Jdr
beyond anything Of the kind tce get on this side Of
the Atlantic"
Another English critic says:
''Boys and Girls will range with glee through the
pages of ST. Nicholas. Though written especially
for the youth of the New World, the Magazine is
as full as it can hold of entertainment for all who
speak the English tongue"

infancy. The Truss and Remedy cost him
$40; but he places the cash value of their

sum. From The Expositor," Sturgeon

The Right Doctrine.


The springfield klEs.) journal says:
In the present crisis the man who resorts to ap-
peals to passion or prejudice for the purpose of
exciting partisan feeling, is an enemy OF his
country and its peace and welfare, and deserves
the reprobation of all good citizens.
We commend the above to those reckless DEM
ocratic editors, who have been trying to infame
the minds of their readers, by denouncing in ad-
vance the Returning Board of Louisiana as dis
honest and corrupt, and charging it with design
to count Gov. Hayes in by fraud. There is no re-
liable evidence of any such design and until there
is, it is in the highest degree reprehensible to
make such reckless charges.
The action of the Returning Board will be close
ly watched by the leading men of both parties,
from the North, who have gone to New Orleans for
that purpose, well as by the whole country, and
there is no good reason TO believe that any dis
honesty is intended or will be practised by the
members of the Board. They will perform the
duties imposed upon them by the law of the State,
and announce the result, and whichever side il
may favor, it should and we doubt not will be, ac-
cepted final, and acquiesced in by the people of
both parties unless there is the clearest proof that
the Board has yielded to improper Influences, and
rendered decision contrary to the law and the
facts. When such proof is produced, II will be
time enough to denounce its action, and not be-
