that Gen Hampton had been elected
Governor by 100 majority, and also
the entire Democratic State ticket.
This will. or ought to. settle the con-
test and cause the Yankee usurper,
Chamberlain. and his bogus legislature,
who have been thus far sustained by
Grants soldiery. to cease their attempts
to steal the government Of the State, and
yield obedience to its laws.
In Florida the muddle still continues
and is getting a good deal like Millions
Pandemonium-it is becoming " confu-
sion worse coufounded." The Supreme
Court, as VIC stated last week, after lis
tening to the arguments and protests of
the Democrats decided that the mem
bers of the canvassiDg board had no
right to constitute themselves the judges
Of the legality or illegality of votes. but
must count the returns as they received
them, and ordered the board to reas-
semble and count the returns correctly
and legally This the Republican mem
bers of the board-Messrs Cowgill and
McLin-at 6rst refused to do, and At
torney General Cooke, the democratic
member, proceeded to do it himself.
Subsequently, however, the other mem
bers reconsidered their refusal and
agreed to the recanvass They then
went to work to recount the votes. but
finding that if they counted them as
they were they must declare the Tilden
electors chosen. they disregarded the
orders of the court and counted false
returns from Baker county. and threw
out altogether the returns Of Clay county.
which gave democratic majority By
this sort Of manipulation they managed
to I" count il" the Hayes electors, but
declared the election Of the democratic
candidate for Governor, Mr.. Drew; one
democratic candidate for Congress, and
the democratic State ticket. For this
aetion-refusing obedience to their Or
ders-the Supreme Court now threatens
to commit the canvassers for contempt,
and the South Carolina scene will pro-
badly be enacted over again in Florida.
In Louisiana, the two committees are
busily engaged in taking testimony in
regard to the outrages and iDtimidations
alleged to have been committed on cleo
tion day. They get evidence in abun-
dance. and Of any kind they want. The
witnesses swear that all man
ner and descriptions Of murders, out
RACES, intimidations. etc., were commit
ted, and tell tales that, if anybody be-
lieyed them, would "chill the blood
and make every hair stand on end"
All these stories the democratic witness
ses swear are utterly false and without
The difference between the
witnesses is that the republican ones
are mostly all negroes, who have,
doubtless. been taught what to say,
while the democratic ones are white
men, and their evidence is sustained by
actual facts, and is therefore believed.
