s POPULAR EXCITEMENT PREMA.
TURE.-The New York Herald speaks
to the point, as follows:
The present deep excitement is
premature and uncalled for. There
are, as yet, no complete and authentic
returas from the three doubtful States.
1t IS hardly snpposable that when at
last all the official returns are received
their genuiness will open to question
in every one of the States now classi-
fed as doubtful. If it shall appear
that Mr.. Tilden has carried any one
of the three the controversy will be
substantially at an end for the cleo
toral votes of one will insure him a
majority, and it will be of no practical
consequence how the two others are
counted 1t is hardly supposable that
-all three will be counted for HAYES
unless they really belong to him.
There is time enough, there are mo-
tives enough, facilities enough, and
there will be men enough of unques-
/ toned high character engaged in the
Investigation to ferret and ascertain
the exact truth before the votes are
finally counted on the second Wednes-
day in February. No fraudulent cleo
toral votes can be counted in February
without full blaze of exposure pour
ing upon the count with the vividness
of concentration of calcium lights.
A deliberate and manifest fraud would
ruin the party that should undertake
to perpetrate it. The eminent citizens
/ of both parties now on their way
South to watch the local count will be
unimpeachable witnesses when this
subject is Investigated by Congress,
and it is not for moment to be doubt
ed that their concurrent testimony will
be accepted. Whatever is done will
be done in the full light of publicity
land an enlightened public opinion will
not permit president to be elected by
fraud. Frauds may have been attempt
ed, but they can not successfully run
the gauntlet of three months active
and intelligent scrutiny This consid-
Grafton alone should allay the present
feverish excitement and anxiety"

EVARTS ON LOUISIANA.

In our leading editorial we have al
luded to the installment by Gov.
kellogg in Louisiana, of legislature
never elected by the people in 1874.
Mr.. Evarts the eminent republican
lawyer, made a speech on that oeca-
sion in Jan. 1874, from which we quote
a passage highly applicable to the
present crisis:
Suppose that this intervention of
military power to protect the action of
an independent State authority should
happen to be exerted in Louisiana, or
any of the States for the purpose of
taking out the majority of an electoral
college when they were choosing the
president; or suppose that if by sub
| verting the vote of that State one man
should be chosen instead of the other,
who would have been chosen if the
State had voted without being acted
upon by that authority, what have you
| then but civil war engaging vast pas
sions and vast multitudes of men on
the question of a dispute over the
presidency? 'Ah, you will never have
| that you say, because we have that
courage and that common sense of the
American people which make free
government possible and permanent
and strong. Let anybody tai Ike step,
you will say, that surpasses the fair
limits ofpolitical eompetitiOn and pollt-
ical agitation, and the president who
takes his seat under such title shall
have nothing but curses and imprisOn-
ment, and not the enjoyment of power.
| submit it to you, fellow citizens, that
the moment we complacently accept
the side that profits by such lnterven-
ton, and assume that nothing but dis
appointment and political disgust are
on the other side, principles are gone
and the way will be open at last for
usurpation."
Mr.. Evarts has been taking a
prominent part in the present election
on the Republican side; he is also one
of the gentlemen who has, at the re-
quest of the President, gone to New
Orleans to witness the proceedings at
the count of votes in that State. Will
he so far divest himself of his partisan
proclivities as to use his great infu-
ence to prevent any steps that sur
pass the fair limits of political agita-
ton seeing, as he so plainly does,
that such steps must lead to civil
war or usurpation %? We quote his
own words.

The St. Louis Republican, of 1st

The St. Louis Republican, of Isl
inst, says
1.-The Rev. DR.. w. NJ. Leftwich,
of the NJ. K. Church, South, has just
been tranferred to Nashville, Tenn,
by Bishop McTyeire, and will leave
for his new charge on Thursday night.
On the eve of his severance from Mis-
souri,, of which he has been so long a
resident, some brief particulars of his
doings will not be devoid of interest
DIR. Leftwich came to Missouri TWEEN
tv-five years ago, and settled as prac-
ticing lawyer at Georgetown, Pettis
county, where he continued two years
and half. He then joined the St.
Louis Conference at its session in st.
Louis in the fall of 1853, and was ap-
pointed to the Lexington Circuit in
La Fayette. lie next moved to St.
Louis, then to Jefferson City, Kansas
City, Independence, St. Joseph Han
nibal, and St Charles, where he be-
came president of the ST. Charles Col
lege. lie next was connected with
the First Church, st. Louis; was
Presiding Elder over st. Louis Dis
trict, and was pastor at st. Pauls,
finally settling at Kirkwood. For the
past year and half he was editor Of
Wares Valley Monthly. At the late
session of the St. Louis Conference,
of which he has been member six
teen years, when it was announced that
the Bishop had transferred him to
Tennessee the Conference seemed
deeply affected aud passed resolutions
expressive of their high appreciation
of his long services in the State of
Missouri aud his valuable labor in the
Church. He has twice represented
the Conference Of Missouri in the
General Conference, and has occupied
positions of honor and trust in the
educational and other interests of the
Church, and barely escaped election
to the presidency of the State Univer-
sity at Columbia three years ago. In
addition to his other labors he was
the author of book called Martyr
dom in Missouri, which had fine
run. and he has been engaged this
summer editing a book of travels In
the West, which will soon be issued by
the Appleton's of New York. DIR.
Leftwich yesterday sent up to Gov.
Hardin his resignation as trustee of
the Missouri Institution for the Edu- |
cation of the Blind, of which board |
he has been president three years.

turns are certainly more favorable
than they were at FIRST announced.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER Is.


No change whatever in the situation
except the growing conviction that
there are considerable Democratic
hopes to be entertained of the election
in Oregon.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16.
This is the day appointed for the
Returning Board in Louisiana to COM
mence its sittings. OF course no re-
port will be received from them for
some days. The following was received
from st. Louis this morning:
ST. LOUIS, Nov. ia cypher tele-
gram has been received from Demo
cratic headquarters saying that posi-
tive information is had of messages
sent by Zach Chandler to the Govern
or of South Carolina, Florida and
Louisiana, bidding them declare the
election of the Hayes electors II their
respective States, and promising them
from the President to be sustained at
all hazards. The message also adds
that part of the Florida returns are
now on board United States frigate.
The recipient of this information IS
Gen. Shields, who lost a leg IN the
Mexican war and commanded brig
ade in the army of the Potomac. Gen.
Shields has other news of serious ma
ture which he refuses to make public.
The additions this day to the infor-
nation We can give on the all absorb
ing topic are that the Democratic Gov
ernor of California has telegraphed to
Washington that he can not consci-
entiously certify to the election returns
from his State on account of the great
frauds discovered by him. He says
that in the custom house district alone
$500 Democratic votes were distracted
from the ballot-boxes. Enough fraud
has been discovered to negative all
Republican majority already claimed.
In Oregon, too, there is hitch, j.
w. Watts having been placed on the
list of Republican electors while
postmaster in the service of the United
States. A press dispatch from Salem,
Oregon. on this head runs as follows
POSSIBLY ONE DEMOCRATIC ELECTOR.
SAN Francisco, Nov. ia press
| dispatch from Salem, Oregon, says:
1t is announced by the Democrats
here to-day that the following pro-
gramme will be carried out in refer
| ence to the case of j. w. Watts, pres
| ideutial elector on the Republican
ticket, who was postmaster of Lafay-
cite. The law of Oregon provides that
the secretary of State, in the presence
of the governor, shall count the votes,
and give to the persons having the
highest number of votes certificates OF
election-giying the secretary no power
except to count the votes and issue
the certificates but it is asserted that
| a writ will be served on the secretary
issued out of the Supreme Court, en-
Joining the issuance of the certificate
to Watts, and giving it to the highest
elector on the Democratic ticket.
On the other hand the intention o.
the Radical managers in Louisiana
Florida and South Carolina is becom
ing more manifest every day. To oul
view the obscurity in the political hor
lion becomes more dense every day
and we feel ourselves utterly incOm
petent to conjecture the ultimate re
suit. We have done our best to pro
vide our readers with the facts dow
to the latest date, and they will max
their own differences.

Official and Semi-Ofricial Returns.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Nov. IA
Returns received to this hour, official
and semi-official, from thirty counties,
and partial returns from two others,
with the vote of 1874 Of the remain
ing counties, give Democratic MAORI
ties of 1888. Nine Republican coun-
ties give an official majority of 6.858,
leaving a net Democratic majority in
the State of 1.125, which will be in
creased by full returns from the re-
naming counties, which are all white
and Democratic.

Complete returns are in except from

Democratic majority in the State is
over 1,O27. Tilden, two Democratic
Congressman, and Democratic Sen
ate and Assemblyare certainly elected.
The attempted fraud in Alaohua coun-

280, but will not change the results In

A DISPATCH from New York to the
Cincinnati Enquirer says of the effect
of the Presidential complication upon
business:
Commercial orders have ceased to
come in, and many received before the
election have been countermanted.-
Stocks are weaker, and values geuer-
ally unsettled. The officers of the
Western Union Telegraph say that
commercial telegraphing has almost
ceased, and that only political bust
ness now occupies their wires. Lead
ing bankers and merchants assert that
continuance of the suspense for a
month would cause an unexampled
panic.
Clahin & Co., Stewart, and all the
wholesale houses down town, report
that business is at complete stand
still. Byers from the West refuse to
give an order until the matter is set
tied one way or the other. Telegraphic
dispatches have been received from
Chicago, Cincinnati and many South
ern Capitals countermanding orders
for goods until the question is settled.
