\ New York Herald special from Jessup Ga,

of the troops here have received any orders save
to report at Tallahassee.
The Times special from Columbia S c. says :
The Official returns of twelve counties now in,
with the estimates made tv the democrats for the
other counties, show a majority for Hampton of
l42S. In twelve official counties, HAYES runs one
thousand ahead of Chamberlain. From reports
received from other counties it may be safe " set
down that Hayes will run two thousand ahead of
the republ can State ticket, and thus overcome
the l42S majority claimed by the democrats for
Hampton. No doubt is felt here among promi-
ncnt republicans that Hayes has a iaority which
will be undisputed by any one.
The World to-day says the political situation
can best be described As unchanged though in
South Carolina aud Florida the latest democratic
estimates are a TITLE lower than yesterday
Neither State is conceded to the republicans, and
the indications are infallibly in favor of the demo-
cratic national and local tickets. On Louisiana
the eyes of the whole nation are fixed. The
democratic claims of the State 10y ma iulItY vary
ing itom six to twelve thousand have not for a
moment been abaied, and 80 far as We can Judge
are made with peri, ct reason.

nent democrat, left to night for New Orleans to
be present at the count of the Louis lana vote.
Nothing official can be expected on the subject
for some days. Meanwhile each party claims the
election OF its respective candidates. Prom inent
gents say that the President will intimate that
the vacancies in tie Louisiana returning board
should be filled by persons of known honesty,
and therefore having the confidence OF the pub
lie, and if this should be done there could be no
cause for complaint in any quarter.
