"A feeling Of encouragement has fallen
upon all Democrats to-day, both foreign
and domestic. It Is assumed that the
verdict Of the Board will be aSaiuStthem.
The Boards action to-day looks very
much like 1t. They opened returns
showing Democratic maioities, and
against which there was no protest, but
refused TO coun. them for the present.
They were laid aside for future inspec'
ton. Thisis believed to be in pursuance
Of the plan 10 leave a great deal to the
last minute, and then go into secret Ees'
sion, allowing no one to be present but
the four members Of the Board, and then
mako up the result, giving the State to
the Republican ticket, local and National
The 9th OF December is the last. day
the Board can have to make up Presi-
DENTAL returns, and /! is supposed they
will then declare the result. The Gov
ernor will Immediately issue certificates
to the Hayes Electors; they will meet
and the Electoral vote will be cast for
Hayes forthwith.
This is the programme that leading
Democrats think has already been marked
out.
The conviction is fast taking posses
sion ofth public mind here that nothing
will be done by Democrats 10 the North,
and that they will submit without war 10
the votes OF all three disputed stateS be-
ing cast for Hayes.
enntly SAYS: 1.-THE chronic apathy OIL
Democrat; in the North, indicated in the
s,endy prices maintained in all classes o.
securities, is accepted as 4 :pusillani'
nous determination on their Fart 10 &C
ouiesce in any solution Of the political
muddle that may be vouchsaied, and o.
course an acceptance Of Louisiana, Flori
day and South Carolina for Hayes, should
they be so counted"
Tina. is the correct view Of the feeling
here now. Few, save politicians anC
office seekers, worry themselves much
The body OF business men don't want any
disturbance, but desire the National case
settled one way or the other, peaceably
and quitely.
Nothern Democrats sent word to
distinguished ex.Confederate here e
"stand firm"
The ex-Coniederate replied that they
would stand firm, and il Northern Dem
ocra,s went to war they would probably
furnish az many troops as Northern
Democrats furnished them In the las
war.
War talk has nearly entirely ceaset
here, and visitors from the North say !
is the most quiet and peaceable city the!
have found in their travels.
The general opinion ia that either sid
can better afford to be defrauded out o
the Presidency than 60 to war. Boil
parties say that whoever goes in Thu
time will go ont by an emphatic majorit!
four years hence.
The Democrats have over three thou
sand afiidayits from colored men, Wit
swear that they voted the Democrat,
ticket freely and without consiraint.
The Republicans are ofIsetting this b!
a large number OF counter atidavits. Thu
usual number Of sworn statements wer,
taken at the Custom House to-day settinl
forth, with particulars, the facts ofintim
idation in the five disputed parishes
Nearly every boat brings Witnesses.
Mira. PinkstOn, whose husband and chit
were murdered by bull.dozers, Satnrda!
before the election, has arrived, and mad
long sworn statement to-day, which wa
taken down word for word. She Is badl.
cut and shot, and may not live. Thi
case is the worse brought to light, ant
will shock the moral sense Of the Nation
