Another Error in the Electoral Count

Florida, which did likewise; and those of
South Carolina upon the returns claimed
by the Republicans. and still TiLDEN would

Republicans themselves.

ADDS wosoro NJ rho i ~ ublican candidates

ways, but the fact is not disputed. j.
IRWIN. who received the highest number
OF votes on the Democratic electoral ticket,
is only 23l votes behind HURLEY. This is
admitted by all parties
But it seems that some of the intelligent
colurcd politicians who were intiustod
with the duty OF supplying their followers
with printed ballots, did not deem it neces-
sary to bother themselves about such n
tIiilug formality rs the choice of nm cleo
toial college, and so they neglected TO put
the names of any electoral candidates Oh
th.u tickets. Probably they did not know
the names of the party nominees, and with
the characteristic Incidence of their race,
neglected to inform themselves. At any
rate, in the lower counties there were 500
ballots cast for HAYES and WHEELER SIM
ply. without bearing any other names
whatever. Now. all Of these votes cast for
HAYES aud WHEELER. IN maxim. up the
Official majority FOR those candidates. were
counted as votes for WiNsMIrH. JOHNSON,
MYrH4. NASH, BOwEN. Cook, and liCRLEY,
the HAYES candidates for electors. though
the canvasscis had ~ more legal right TO
do So. than il those ballots had borAc the
names of SMITH ana Blows. Under far
and legal count, those j0l votes cast for
II AYES and WHEELER would be thrown out
as illegal and void, which would elect
IRw1N. the TILpEN elector. by II majority
OF nearly 800 votes, aud his vote would
elect TILprN.
\ characteristic instance OF the disrc-
gard Tor even the appearance of fairness
which prevails among the supporters Of
HAYES in south Caroiul, is found in a re-
mark attributed 70 HAYNE. the cllorcd
Secretary OF state. THIS was that he would

why Not Tell the Trnth,

1t isNcry natural and proper that officers
OF the army, high or low, who may be re-
strained by their supcriors in regard TO its
movements, should be reserved when qucs-
toned ON that SUBJECT. Good discipline
requires obedience But It is wholly mdc-
fcusibu for any ON. er To wilfully misrcp-
resent the truth, or so falsify facts which
are known To exist In the ordinary inter-
course OF life. he would be liable for con-
duct unbecoming an officer and gentle
man, upon such charge.
Now, the intention to garrison Washing
ton with Il large force leaked out last
week, Notwithstanding unusual pains were
taken To conceal It until the troops were
on the ground. Gen. SHERMAN was inter-
rogatcd bv several persons. who are ready
to be witnesses, ana denied cmphatically
and explicitly any such design. At that
very time II member Of his STAFF had been
sent to South Carolina with orders for
part of the force to report at the capital.
OF course Dos CAMERON. who has been
at the bottom of all these military demon
STATIONS, declares that the presence OF
troops at Washington, brought there from
the Jar West and from the South, has no
significance, and is in the regular order Of
n change of stations. such % declaration,
or any other, TO hide desperate purpose,
might be expected from him. He has long
been practi-cd in the art OF deception.
And when GRNNr endorses his assurances,
they are not in the least strengthened in
Vic estimation. GRANT, CAMERON, ana

The Case Brought Home.

The frauds about to be committed by the
Louisiana Returning Board cannot nc
clearly comprchcndcd TIL we measure
them by figures with which we are fa-
miiiar.
The votes actually cast in that State show
n ma Oiity OF about 900 for three of the
TILDTN electors, aud OF about 100 for the
other five. TO give the eight electoral
votes TO HAYES il VIII be necessary for
kELLoC1's Returning Board TO throw out
parishes enough 10 reverse this majority
OF 300.
The state OF Now York has cast AT least
seven times as many votes rs Louisiana.
The stupcrdous size OF the job that the
Returning Board have taken IN hand will
be seen IN the light OF the fact that, TO per-
petrate e fraud Of corresponding dimen-
sious in this state. at this election, would
require the throwing out Of the entire vote
Of counties whose maJoriiies for TILDEN
aggregate GS,O0O.
What would our people think If, in order
to capture the thirty-Gve votes of New
York, and thus secure the election of
HAYES by one majority. orr state Cam
va-sors should propose 10 throw out the
entire vote Of New York and Brooklyn?
Yet this is the Louisiana case brought
home to our own doors.

To-Day's Revelation.

II the evidence which we publish this
morning respecting the st. LOUIS whiskcy
Ring and the participation of the White
House in its operations against the Trea-
sury had been accessible to the prosccu-
ton in the trial of BADCocK, il is certain
that he would have been convicted; and 1t
is dflicult to see how the impeachment Of
President GRANr could have been avoided.
One OF the mysteries IN this matter has
been the precise manner IN which Nc
DONALD, the supervisor Of Internal Reve-
nue. al ST. Louis, who, with his friend
JoYCE, was the head OF the con-
rpiracy to dcfraud the revenue OBJ
tanod regularly from the Treasury
Department secret information Of the
steps taken 10y Secretary BRIsrOw to
detect the frauds aud htin. the guilty TO
justice. This mystery Is uow solved. The
information was obtained from AVERY,
whom President GRANr had made chief
clerk Of tie Treasury ID, partment, in conf
phance, as il would appear with tho sO-
icitation OF MCDoNALp and BABcocK.
AVERY was reluctant TO reveal 10 the gull
~ parties the private investigations Of
Mr.. BmsrOw. Finally hoWcN en-, JoYCE
wrote 10 linn in most urgent manner
saying. "If you have any doubt Of the
proprlcty az sending this Information, see
Gen. BAucoDK. II he is not ia the city
zee g. This letter being submitted by
AVERY 10 Gen. GRANr, he wrote upon the
back Of il the following oudo. eoAcut:

are substantially the same as those Of our State
CanS assers generally. I'm Ohio, for instance, the
State canvass was made on Thursday. Nov. 10,
by Mr.. BELL. Secretary OF state, In the presence
Of Gov. HAYES and JAMES WILLIAMS STATE Au-
ditor; and it consisted simply in adding W the
county returns and declaring the esilt.
The Returning Board Of Louisiana was in
vented for the purpose OF rejecting the Gov
ernor IN power at the time 10y altering and filsi-
Tying the returns; aud II has been confined for
such uses ever since. In 1874 1t certified that
KELLOGG, the present so-called Governor. was
elected. although there was not a single return
before it Of any sort on which to base such a
certificate. The fraud was palpable and out
iageous that the people OF Louisiana resisted Il
peacefully, inauguratng MCENERY, who had
really been elected. Then GHANr sent down
soldiers to turn MCENEuY out and put KELLOGG
in; aud without his bayonets the decree Of the
Returning Board would have been Of no effect
whatever. Now the proposition is 10 put II AYES
In, thus making a President of the United states
by means Of this Board. II is method entirely
unknown to our Northern elections: and. al
though we have no doubt that the people viii
submit peacefully TO the contamination Of this
wrong, trusting to the next election to apply
the remedy, yet II is none the less one Of the
black st crimes that villainy ever conceived or
desperation executed. and the final punishment
will be something signal and memorable In
history.
