TIE dismissal of YARYAN, chief of the
internal revenue special agents, has a
worse appearance the further it is inves-
tigated. He was removed at the person
al and persistent order of the President,
against the protest OF the commissioner,
and for no possibly justifsble reason,
But it is not question OF the arbitrary
removal OF 3 good officer. The whisky
ring was against him and BRIsrow was
his friend. That was enough. DYER,
the st. Louis district attorney in the
whisky prosecutions, has also resigned.
Mr.. JOYCE boasts that she will have her
husband home in thirty days; and there
is not much humor in the jest current in
Washington, to the effect that McDoN-
AID will soon be seen driving GRANT
down Pennsylvania avenue, as he used to.
If YARYAN had not been removed he
wouldIhave had half the Senate and all
of GRANTS friends IN Jail. Is a man to
be blamed for standing by those who
stand by him? Not much. The Pres.
dent has been too long and too intimately
associated with that noble animal. the
dog, not to have learned its noble trait
never to forget those who have done 1t a
kindness.

an estimate on the vote for Governor of the re-
naming countless give Hayes about 1000 ma
jority over TIlde1. The same authority gives
the state to Hampton by about 1900 majority.

will carry the state but will not idsclose their
reason for the assertion.
The Prima Facie Election of Hampton
Conceded.
The Republicans now concede the election of
Hampton on the face of the returns, but claim

shaw and Williamsburg are Republican, and
one, Laurens Democratic.

A despatch from Tallahassee to the Herald

get their rights
How the Democrats Figure out Msiori-
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-The Times has the
the following special from Tallahassee:
To the people of the United States:-The un-
dersigned are informed that kilograms are being
sent North from this state, based on the tables
of reported majorities IN the Floridan extra of
this afternoon, claiming that Tildenland Hem
bricks have carried Florida by 637 majority.
An examination of these tables shows that in
the county of Alichua alone the actual Repub-
lfcan majority of III, as shown by the official
canvass now on file is reduced to 49S, by leaving
out certain precinct votes on false pretences of
frauds; that in variety of ways the actual
figures have been changed so as to give an ap-
parent Tilden majority. The undersigned are
satisfied from careful examination in detail of
the returns already received, that allowing the
Democrats all the majorities now claimed in
the counties kept back by them, the returns
from the whole state will show ma 'ority for
Hayes and Wheeler. This majority can be
largely increased upon ample proof of Demo-
cratic frauds and intimidation.
The Republicans of Florida are not devoting
themselves to manufacturing public opinion at
the North, but convinced that the state has
been carried for Hayes and Wheeler, they wait
with perfect confidence the result of a fair and
impartial canvass, which they are sure will car
~ full conviction to the people of the country.
