THE STATE SENATE.

While the next Legislature of Neva-
da will have a Republican majority on
Joint ballot, the Senate is close and
doubtful. with a probable majority of
one for the Democrats. The Senate is
composed of as members. Six of the
hold overs are Democrats. and one is an
Independent. In Lyon county one
Democratic Senator has been elected,
in Storey, two; in Humboldt, one; in
Eureka. two; in Nye. one; in Lincoln,
one. There is some doubt as to Nye

Returns received to-day leave no
doubt of the election of Samuel u.
Tilden to the Presidency, by an cleo
soral majority of from six to twenty
electoral votes, and popular majority
Of about 4Oo. 600. Reports from Louisi-
ana and South Carolina are still con-
dieting. as the Republican Governors
of those States seem determined to
hold out to the last. The returns,
however, leave no reasonable doubt
that both States have given Demo-
cratic majorities, aud that Wade Hamp-
ton is elected in South Carolina, and
Nichols in Louisiana. 4: is possible
the Returning Board Of Louisiana may
give the electoral vote of the, State to
Hayes. as it declared Kellogg elected
four years ago in the face of a large
majority, a majority SO large that the
the United States Senate did not feel
warranted in admitting Pinchback to
the seat given him by the Kellogg Leg
islature. Conceding the State to Hayes
1t does not change the general result
Tilden has carried Florida beyond all
reasonable doubt, aud that gives him a
majority ia the Electoral College
Tlden's popular vote has surpassed
the expectations of bis most enthusi-
astic supporters. It is not less than
1000, and may exceed that number
10000. In Ohio, where Hayes was ex-
pected to get large majority, his
vote is less than that received by
Barnes in October. and does not exceed
5000 majority; while in Illinois. where
it was claimed his majority would ex-
coed 80, 600. it will not exceed T. 900. If
Senator Morton's promised amend
ment to the Constitution had been
adopted, so as to elect the President
by popular vote. it would be immateri-
al to Tilden how the carpet-bag gov
erned States of Louisiana and South
Carolina cast their vote.

upon the picture presented to his
mind. He went on to say that ia
order to be. satisfied, as we'll as to
have similar convictions carried to the
minds of the American people, that
there would be fair count Of votes
for electors in Louisiana. He had
made up his mind some days since
to invite q committee of prominent
public men to go to Louisiana and see
that justice was rendered, which wonld
carry the conviction to the whole
American people of au honest and fair
cont of returns in the South. Presi
dent Grant says his action in this re.
gard was based on compliance with
request from Governor Kellogg OF
Louisiana, made some days ago, Tat
leading meu of both parties should be
asked to go to New Orleans, in osdrr
to give their presence to fair count
of votes, SO that there should not tie
any doubt hereafter. 1t was not done
as counter movement to that of the

The Brookhaven ledger. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1876-06-01
A Lies.

Hear how the lying editor of the
Washington Republic speaks of the
Wilkinson county matter. Every week
his sheet is filled with ISLANDERS on the
Southern people. He now pretends
that the Wilkinson county disturbance
was a Democratic assassination of Re
publican negroes, when he had the let
ter of Sheriff Noble stating that poll
tics had nothing to do with the matter.
The editor of the Republic is the big
gest liar of the age. He says:
Again the country is shocked by the
same old story twenty colored men
killed by a Sheriff posse, and no
white man hurt. The Associated Press
dispatch calls it a "war." 1t should be
called by its right name, an 1nhuman
butchery of defenseless men by the
white savages of the South. Democracy
thrives on murder; it's majorities in the
South are based upon it, and present
indications make it apparent that the
process of securing a full Democratic
vote in the fall elections has begun. 1t
will call for the murder of a few hun
bred colored men, but this, among the
chivalric Democrats of the South, is a
commendable virtue.
The Brookhaven ledger. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1875-1883, 1876-06-01

The telegraph yesterday brought the
that the Indians are creating sad
havoc among the miners III the Black
Hills conntry-that ont Of forty-two
men at Dearwood twenty-scven have
been killed, while five other men had
been scalped within three miles of Chs
ter City. We fear that this il but tho
beginning OF such horrors. The i'm
prudent ad%venturers who have intruded
into the Sioux reservation to the num-
Der of several thousands, are widely
scattered, and it will be impossible for
troops to protect them from the
vengeance of the hostile Indians. who
are now thoroughly aroused in conse-
quence of the anticipated movement of
Gen. Crook and his forces against them
Ia movement regarding which they ap-
pear to be thoroughly informed. But
this is not the worst Of II.
There is little doubt that we are on
the eve OF q fierce and sauguinary In
dian war, in which, no matter how much
skill u bravery our troops may dis-
play, 1T vii! be impossible for them to
to afford to the settlers on II extended
borders protection from Indian incur
sions, and We may soon expect TO hear
OF the most frightful acts of savage
warfare in Wyoming and Nebraska.
People in the East who do not Know the
strength and ferocity Of the wilder
bands of Sioux warriors, and have read
of one or two bold frotiersmen summa-
riIy disposing Of whole tribes, may
think an Indian war n trihing matter;
bnt we fear that before it is through
with, the country will be appalled, by
the b%utcheries Of innocent men. women
and children in exposed localities, which
will result from the accomplished inva-
sions of the Sioux reservation, and from
the military operations now in progress.
