them during the summer moAths. They
insist upon observing Saturday as the

TO END IN THIRTY DAYS.

The Spanish government is once more
undertaking vigorous prosecution Of
the war" in Cuba. This is what is
said to be meant by the appointment Of
Martinez Campos to the chief command
in that troublesome island. We hear
again Of large reinforcements, both
naval and military, while the whole
eastern part Of Cuba is to be placed
under strict blockade, the object being
to stop up every channel through which
the insurgents may receive outside sup
plies or reinforcements This has been
attempted before, and while it may not
have been entirely successful it has
resulted on several occasions in captur-
ing American vessels and consigning
officers and crews, on the charge Of
being engaged in filibustering, to an
ignominious death. The policy Of
crualty and merciless bloodshed which
has hitherto characterized the course Of
Spain towards the insurgents is, it
seems, to be continued for the new
commander, it appears, is instructed to
deal severely with rebels who refuse to
lay down their arms.
The outside world knows very little
Of Gen. Campos. who is now about to
conquer peace in Cuba, except what
it may learn from Spanish writer's, who
re present him as the man who can put
down seven-year old rebellion in thirty
days. He appears not to be troubled
with any distrust Of his own capacity,
for, on taking leave Of the Spanish pre-
mier be said: "Jovellar (Capt Gen
eral Of Cuba) and I together will re.
store peace to Cuba and put everything
in order" When asked how soon
operations would commence in the is
land after his arrival he is said to have
declared, ION the day after land. !"
Gen. Campos seems to be Of an even
more sanguine temperament than the
ninety-day prophets at the beginning Of
our own civil war
The United States have a direct in
tereat 10 the new policy Of Spain. We
have been hitherto lenient as to the
grievances which we have received at
her hands in view Of her domestic trou-
bles; but as these are now ended we
may expect her to suppress the insur-
rection at once, or, in failure Of that,
our government may accord belligerent
rights to the insurgents. Not even the
surrender Of Tweed can prevent that
result unless the vigorous programme
adopted by Spain shall result in the
speedy and complete overthrow Of the
rebellion.

LET US HAVE PEACE.
The elections on Tuesday resulted
mainly in favor Of the Democrats, but
contrary to their anticipation and hopes
the contest was very close. So conf
dent were they Of an overwhelming
victory, that their expectations, at first
blush, were taken for realities and SO
telegraphed over the country, and their
estimates, many Of which were made
previous to the election, were given as
the actual results. The great gains
made by the Democrats and the rapidly
accumulating reports Of successes for
their candidates SO dismayed the Re-
publicans that they at once conceded
Mr.. Tilden's election by large major
ity Of the electoral vote. The first an
nouncement was that 212 electoral votes
had lcen secured to Mr.. Tilden, but
later returns greatly lessened this num-
ber till at last it was apparent that he
had received but 1856, and as this num-
Der depended upon Florida and Louis
lana the Republicans claimed that the
election Of the Democratic candidate
was mt assured hnt that the result was
still somewhat in doubt. The very
latest dispatches, however, concede
Florida to Governor Tilden which Sc
cures his election by majority Of four
votes in the electoral college.
The following table shows the result
in the different States, with their cleo
toral votes, as far as definitely ascer-
tanned:

THE SITUATION.

Although the result of Tuesdays
contest is not yet altogether positively
settled, enough is definitely known to
assure the fact that majority Of two
hundred thousand or more Of the pop
ular vote has been given to Governor
Tildsn, over Gov Hayes, for Presi
dent. and it is also conceded by all par
ties that he has received beyond dis
pute at least 1874 electoral votes, with
out those Of South Carolina CD Florida
(4) and Louisiana (8), which are claim
ed by bis party friends as having given
large majorities in bis favor, but as they
are claimed by the Republicans also
they are still put down as doubtful
The election Of Wade Hampton (dem.
IS Governor Of South Carolina is now
pretty well admitted although the Re-
publicans claim the States electoral
vote for Hayes. The latest news and
dispatches from Florida from reliable
and authentic sources give Democratic
majority in the State Of about 100.
The character Of these dispatches is
such that we think that they can be
relied on as perfectly correct, and we
believe the State has gone Democratic
BY not less than the above mentioned
majority, electing the whole Democratic
State ticket. Louisiana, also, has with
out doubt. given Democratic majority
Of from ten to fifteen thousand, though
the Republicans are trying their best to
manipulate the returns 50 a. to count
Middletown transcript., 1876-11-11

up majority for Hayes where such
a majority docs not exist. What will
be the result of this interference with
the ballots Of the people remains to be
seen. The following extract from the
Philadelphia Times will serve to show
the present attitude of matters in the
South, and the political situation at the
present time.
Louisiana and Florida are the real
battle grounds now, and there is fierce
struggle going on in both States to direct
verdicts. That Louisiana has voted for
Tildcn by from ten to fifteen thousand,
is not much disputed among candid
men, and the contest there is on the
Kellogg side to manipulate it for Hayes
BY the return board, and on the Tilden
side to get an honest computation Of the
vote actually polled. just there the
value Of Secretary Of War like Cam
eron assumes its full proportions before
the admiring gaze Of machine polite
ians, and it's safe to assume that what
ever prompt orders and the ready en-
ployment Of Gatling guns will do toward
getting a return for Hayes, will be done.
It may in the end turn on the question
whether the nation will stand bayonet
majorities to defeat so decided an ex-
preston Of the popular will as that given
in favor of Tilden, but Cameron doesn't
scare at shadows, and whatever is pos
sible or apparently possible, he will be
certain to do, or try to do, in the work
Of repeating the Kellogg infamy Of four
years ago. Florida is not SO easily ma
nipulated, and may prove most diff
cult little State to handle by machinery.
We believe that it has voted for Tilden,
and the only problem is, whether the
return can Re held to the honest vote.
We believe that, in defiance Of the des-
perate efforts now being made to control
the return, it will have to be declared
for Tilden, and thus rescue his election.
In that case Louisiana will be allowed
to vote for Tilden and thus give him
one hundred and ninety-six, or eleven
more than the required majority. We
believe that Governor Tilden is fairly
elected President by from one hundred
and ninety-six to one hundred and
ninety-nine electoral votes; and while
it is possible that the return may be
made to elect Hayes by one majority.
we regard it as quite improbable.
