The CARLIsr WAR is entering on another
campaign. General Tristany, one of Don
Carlos most efficient followers, has flung up
his hat for Alfonso. Martinez Campos is
concentrating near Pampeluna, and Moriones
is working out from San Sebastian. The tele-
graphic battles with two sides victorious may
now be expected from Madrid and Bayonne.

black men form majority of the popula-

TTLDEx.s PROGRAMMES
How. 1She8, and by ifshosD he
Will be EnaglgurEaseu.


The whole country has been on the
highest excitement to know, in the
event, the extremists succeed in fraud
uIenly counting the electoral votes of
South Carolina, Louisiana and Florida
for Hayes, what course, Tilden and
the Democrats, will pursue.
The answer is plain-they will act
with unanimity and one accord, and
their programme viii be accomplished
peaoeably and quietly.
The House, which is Democratic
will meet the Senate, at the appointed
day, to assist in counting the electo-
raj vote. If the President of the Sen
ate, arbitrarily insists on the Republi-
can idea of counting the three disputed
states, the HousersfIl-.a. est In-she
face of such objection it can hardly be
conceived that the Republicans will
insist on declaring Hayes and Wheeler
elected. The House is the judge as
20 whether the electoral college has
made an election. Without going into
details the grounds of fraud already
developed are sufficient to warrant the
knowledge that they will decide that
she electoral college has failed to elect
President, aud bs the terms of the
constitution the duty then indusputa
bly, devolves upon them. They will
,heu proceed to elect Mr.. Tilden, and
10 declare him President for the next
four years.
The result as to the selection of the
Vice President is not SO clear, as that
duty devol'es upon the Senate, which
is Republican. They are constitution
ally required to scleet from the eaudi
dates voted for by the people. which
would Gully bring the names of Hen
tricks and Wheeler before them.
They ars eoas.itu;ionally prohibited
from selecting a Vice President from
ihe same State the President has been
elected from, snd as Dir Wheeler and
Mr. Tildea are both from the same
State, it would seem 10 prohibit the
election Of Wheeler. and to compel
he election of Hendicks-the peoples
choice.
