SAVANNAH, December GA special from
Tallahassee says that the testimony and argu-
ment being closed at eleven o'clock Monday,
the board commenced canvassing the returns
in secret session. At ten clock Tuesday
morning it was rumored that the Repubh
cans had carried the State, and shortly after
ward a squad of United States troops, under
commissioned officers, was stationed In the
capitol grounds. At two o'clock this morn
ing the board adjourned, and announced the
Hayes electors elected by nire hundred and
forty-six majority. These returns defeat the
Democrats by twenty-four votes, but will give
the Democrats a majority of five on JOINT
ballot In the legislature. Colonel Cooke re-
fused to sign the certificate of the Hayes cleo
tors, and protested against the action of the
other two members of the board. He then
issued certificates of election to the Demo-

gress to sustain their action. There is much
suppressed Indignation among the people,
though there are no indications of violence.
