Washington, d. c., Nov S.-There is much
spEsstement here tonight The Republicans
are enthusiastic over manufactured tele-
grauzs sent by men of such kindly as Nipple
Mitchell, Of Oregon, and Chamberlain. OF
South Carolina, and beseige the telegraph
and newspaper offices hoping to get some
crunib OF comfort to realize their desperate
and hopeless antcipatiOns. They are appre-
hcnsiSe and doubtful, but, nevertheless, as ii
Is the chance OF Il dying man, they assume
to have gained courage and hope. The re-
turns received here up to III o'clock are that
the Republican National Committee concede
Tilden Isl votes, and for the remaining
vote necessary TO elect Tilden he has
the doubtful states of Florida. Louisi-
ana. South Carolina and Oregon to
draw from Without giving any apparent
reason why they made the claim, the Repub-
Leans assume that Oregon and Sosth Caro-
lima have gone Republican, and that the con-
test hinges on Louisiana and Florida. All
the recent advices, both private and
OF the Press Association. Indicate
that Louisiana and Florida will GER
tainly 20 for Tilden. and he
will be elected by 1876 electoral votes. This
i the situation here at midnight There Is
evidently some desperate plot arranged to
secure Louisiana to the Republicans should
Florida go for Hayes.
Grant left here at noon for Philadelphia,
and Edmunds, who has done Chambers
dirty work during the canvass was sum
mOned by the latter 10 report IN New lOrk
at once. He left at noon fn response To the
summons. LII is believed that the National
Committee have either made or are about TO
make arrangements whereby the result OF
the vote in Louisiana is TO be withheld until
Il i definitely ascertained whether its cleo
-tOral vote is necessary TO Tlidens sue
cess. and II il is. the notorious re-
turning board have instructions to count II
for Hayes and Wheeler. None here doubts
but that Tilden's majority in the statesis TO-
O0O but II the contingency Of Republican
success rests with the state, the returning
board is TO be depended on TO doctor the
vote
There is definite information that
Hampton has carried South Carolina, and
Tilden may reasonably expsct the vote of
the state. Taking the judgment OF shrewd
politicians OF both parties. the conclusion To
ne arrived at is that Mr.. Tilden will he
elected by from 1876 to 2O7 electoral votes. 1t
i believed here that Mr.. Tilden will carry
every Southern state and that tO-mOrrow's
returns viii show Oregon in the Democratic
column.
During the entire day and night bogus dis
patches have been bulletined showing large
Republican gains from every quarter. They
are believed to have been sent by Jay Gould
from New York, who has agents here 10 make
bets to enable him to hedge on the large
amounts he has ventured on Hayes.
One poor fool, clerk ut the headquarters
oi Chambers committee, to-day sent Secre-
tary Morrill, dispatch that New York had
gone Republican by 800 majority. liz set
the office-hoiders on their ears at once, and
they deserted their desks and rushed pell-
fnelf into the streets shouting for Hayes. The
poor devils, however. soon found cut the
cruel hoax. but not before they had put up
their ''scaGs'' upon the strength OF it, Since
the days when war bulletins brought out
the multitudes there has been no such
element in the city. The Democrats are
confident and enthusiastic. while the bread
tnd butter brigade have lost their grip, yet
try their best 10 make some show of assur-
-ance-
