shows that IN the county Of Alachul the

by the official canvass, Is reduced to 4!S by
leaving out certain precinct votes on false

from a careful examination IN letal Of the
returns already received. that allowing the
Democrats all the majOrities DOW claimed in
the counties kept back by them, the returns
from the whole State viii show 4 majority
for Hayes and Wheeler This majority can
be largely increased upon ample proof of
Democratic frauds and intimidation. The
Republicans Of Florida are not deYotj1g

of a far and impartial canvass which they
are sure will carry full conviction tn the

''Ingsoll.' In one town nearly all the bal

to-day took the oath of office, filed the neces-
sary papers with the secretary of state, and
went into executive session in the room as
signed them in the statehouse Nothing has
transpired regarding their proceedings. Gov
ernOr Kellogg stated this evening that the
vacancy in the board had not yet been filed
The board adjourned to meet Saturday noon
Governor Wells, in answer to the inquiry
whether or not spectators and reporters would
be admitted, said that it WAS the wish, and
he evidently expressed the sentiment of all
the members, that the board should sit with
closed doors during the canvassing and COM
piling of the returns, except when informal
ton was wanted concerning particular poll,
or matter connected with the election, or
when some point was to be argued before the
board He said that neither the governor
nor any other State officer if his wish was
regarded, would have free access to the room
during the sessions of the board. If the
board wanted legal advice he said they would
call on the attorney general; but at no other
time would that officer be admitted. Both Mr..
Wells and Mr. Anderson said that the board
was IN entirely Independent body, and would
not he controlled in its action in any way,
either hy the executive or by other parties.

they were restored, the conclusion then
being that this section of the act was un-
just. But during the interim, amounting
TO about tifteon months, the soldiers en-
ploYed as clerks here and elsewhere lost
the benefit of their pensions. 1t is now
sought. by an act introduced on Monday,
TO reimburse them, and it cannot be dis.
putcd that under the action Of Congress it
is no moro than right, and in the light Of
common sense it is doubly reasonable.

REFoRM VS.. RErRENcHMEar.

The distinguished economists from the
South. who form the bulk of the reformed
and remodeled patriots now controlling the
action of the House. have begun their
measures of economy by cutting down the
Government allowance to West Point
cadets $50 per capita per annum. This
touches us in tender point. If there is
anything that we were proud of as a nation
it was the trim and tight appearance of our
young men who occupy the heights Of
West Point And, now, to reduce them to
one shirt a week, or to cut off their supply
of clean handkerchiefs so as to oblige them
to appear on the parade ground lon a chill
ing day without the means of smuggling
their noses into an oblivious "wipe." is a
hardship both to them and us. Well may
they cry: ga magnificent Government
took my shirt and stole my red bandana.
But it is suggested seriously that it is rather
q mean revenge for the South to take of
their eretime conquerors. The latter have
flung aside the sword and yielded to South
ern domination. OF course their prede-
cessors from the same academy made their
power felt, and to ordinary minds it would
seem as though they earned q debt of
gratitude which should shield the institu-
ton from the annoyance Of petty embar.
rassments for all time. But republics are
ungrateful" ful"-proverbially SO. Still we did
not expect to see the reformers attack the
West Pointers upon that most sensitive
portlon Of the human anatomy-lhe nose.
1t IS the Achilles heel. A more noble re-
venge would have been to abbreviate the
articles first mentioned, for after all shirt
tail is not an absolute necessity. and the
fact that it IS not possessed can be dis
creeuy concealed. This would have prob
ably saved the trifling sum gained to the
Government by this economy.

THE SOUTHERN s1rUArIoN-1s6o.Is76,

During the late amnesty debate Mr..
Blaine read from a speech of Mr.. Ben
IIiil, finally summing it up with the re-
marx. Now, that was precisely the kind
''of talk we had here by fOlios Rnd reamS
before the rebellion
AlC. Blaine, perhaps, has compared the
political literature of to-day with that
which preceded the 'late onpleasantness,
but it is certain that few have had that op-
portunity, and it is also certain that if they
should have, and would take advantage of
the same, much of the "gush' about the
Centennial would dry up as quick as corn
blade in the October frosts.
Whenever the Republican leaders object
TO Democratic desires the threat comes
quickly, I'VE won't have anything to do
with your Centennial = but Of what value
is the presence of any there who must be
bought to come? In the South they de-
spise people they can use, and the way to
secure their respect and cooperation is to
maintain the right, and tell the truth about
,bem. Now for one bit of truth. The
National Republican., 1876-02-02

THE New York Tribune Still insists that
Senator Morton and Mr.. ex Speaker Blaine
have erred in delivering their so-called
''bloody- shirt speeches, and that the
people are tired of these repeated cries of

This might be true, if it were not false.
But the people, unless they lose all interest

Mr. WILsHIRE's bill to restore the
ranking privilege will hardly become a
law. though the incentive to pass it will be
very great as soon as the Presidential CAM
paign begins. There is no doubt, how
ever. that the present law should be
amended so as to do away with the pro-
vision requiring the several Executive
Departments TO purchase stamps for official
use. The present system is simply rob.
bling Peter to pay Paul, and in the end
the Government is called upon to pay the
cost of manufacturing the stamps, to say

about the disposition of its funds?

this may be, it is certain that Mr.. Cameron
