Gov Hendricks arrived in this city
Thursday, aud will return home to day
During his short stay in New York he
has called once on Gov. Tiden, and
will probably see him again TO day
before taking his departure. Gov.
Hendricks received many callers at
the Fifth Avenue II otel, and everybody
who couversed with him anXious'y
asked his opinion as to the present crl
sis La his replies the Governor was
cool, deliberate and impassionate.
TIE SITUATION IN THE SOUTH.
II think. said he, in answer to an
inquiry by the writer, that it IS OF
great importance that all Democrats
aud good citizens generally should
keep perfectly cool and preserve their
temper till the crisis is over. They
should endeavor by means perfectly
peaceable 10 see that the votes IN Lou
isiaua and Florida are fairly aud hon
estly counted and if the votes are
honestly counted there can be no doubt
as 10 the result.
Are you convinced that the State
Of Louisiana. Florida and South Car
DINA east the majority of their votes
for the Democratic electoral ticket? 2
Il have no kind of doubt that the
Democrats carried Louisiana by large
majority. They also carried Florida
bY a smaller majority As to South
Carolina, the reports that have seen
from them in regard to the electoral
ticket have been so contradictory as 20
be confusing
Is THERE DANGER AHEAD?
Do you think there are any signs
Of danger to the peace of the country
ia the present prosPect?'
Il see no cause for any disturbances
Of the pence at present but 10 case
certain men are determined to subvert
what the will of the nation has deereed
any one can see that there would be IA
possibility Of the country having to
confront a situation of affairs which
must be very hazardous
What would be your advice to the
people under the pre,eu; circum-
stances p
What I sincerely with to see the
people do is to keep perfectly cool and
temperate We must show the pc pie
what the true state Of affair, l.. and it
the Democracy is cheated the people
must be convinced of the swiud.e
That being done, the people would
probably decide that justice should be
done, and that the viii ct the nation as
expressed at the polls should be obey
ed without further attempts at evasion
