The list of marine disasters from the three
days northeast gale Is much smaller than was appre-
hened though doubtless it will be increased somewhat
by the news Of the next few days. II the heavy storm
OF Sunday aud Monday had come on suddenly much
greater damage to shipping would have been caused
but the gale begun quite moderately and mariners had
warning in ample time to take for their safety
Following all the disasters reported at the Maritime
| Exchange yesterday up to the hour Of closing:

dence, r. L. went ashore on Sunday five miles east OF

IBY TELEGRAPH TO TRIBUSEl
TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Nov. 21.-The Democratic
leaders here realize the false position in which
they have been placing themselves by asking that
the canvassng of the Presidential vote shall begin
while they are holding back returns from several
strong Democratic counties, particularly from the
County of Polk. In 1874 this county cast 33S
Democratic to Republican votes. Not one scintila
of evidence official otherwise, has been received
"a TO the result there this year, and the returns
coud be easily altered too late for detection to
sufficient extent TO take the State away from Hayes
Today the Democrats changed their tactics
and opened their battery of legal proceedings
upon Gov Sterns and the canvasslng board.
Saturday the Chairman of the Democratic state
Committee and others called upon the Governor and
asked him if he intended to canvass the Presiden-
tial vote under the law of 1S47 and expressed the
hope that he would not regard the precedent OF
1872 as necessarily binding, and that he would not
act hastily. The Governor replied that he would
not act without legal advice and not without notice
10 them. The next day he addressed to them note
saying he would be happy to hear from them any
suggestions they might choose to submit upon the
question whether the Governor or the canvassng
board ought legally to the Presidential vote
Instead of submitting an argument, the eminent
counsel employed by the Democrats-Messrs. Joseph
f. Brown of Georgia. Samuel G. Thompson and
ID. w. Sellers of Philadelphia Perry II. Smith of
Chicago and dozen others-devoted Sunday and
Monday to drawing up bill in equity for injunc
ton to restrain the Governor from canvassing the
Presidential vote. The bill is in the name of the
four Democratic candidates for electors-Messrs.
r. b. Hilton, Robert Bullock, James f. Yonge, and
wilkinson Call--who set forth that they were can
ddates for electors; that the State Canvassing
Board is by law the only proper tribunal to canvass
the Presidential vote that the Governor has no
authority to canvass such VOTE but that he pretends
that he can do so and proposes to do it; and that
sueh action will impair the right Of the plaintiffs as

COLUMBUS Ohio Nov 21.-A number OF proml-

sponse to the call of John G. Thompson, chairman Of
the Democratic Executive Committee, for meeting
to be held here tomorrow afternoon. The attend
ance promises to be quite large. The meeting has
been called to ascertain the of party LEADERS
throughout the State and the temper of the people,
and to have general discussion of the situation
The impression among Democrats is that in case the
returning boards decide both Louisiana and Florida
for Hayes the House of Representatives will refuse
TO count the votes, but will proceed to ballot for

The Democrats of Florida have asked for an
Injunction to prevent Gov. Sterns canvassing

Louisiana has finished six more parishes.
At this rate it will be more than
a week before result is reached. Protests
were made to the Board by the Democratic
candidates and United States Supervisors
against exclusion from the counting. One can
didate was admitted by vote of the Board. In

THE ELECTION FOR SPEAKER.

FIERCE CONTEST PROBABLE BETWEEN MR.. RAN
DALI, Mr.. sAYLER, AND Mr.. Cox-ITs INFLU-
ENCE ON TIE NEXT HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, NoV. 2O.-The prize Of the Speaker
ship Is not going to drop into Mr.. Sayler's hands
withant an effort on his part to secure it. His
service as Speaker pro tem last session gives him
certain prestige but dogs not yield him the advan-
tages of possession, fohs temporary honors ceased
when Congress adjourned, and the House will be
called to order by the Clerk on Monday week. Mr..
Sayer has sort of negative popularity in the South
and West, and appears to have the best chance
of success Mr. Randall will be his chief competitor
He was the hero of the penny-wise policy OF the
last session. and the resolute way in which he stuck
to his economies won him the admiration Of his
party. Mr.. Cox will also enter the lists As he made
Mr.. Kerr Speaker year AGO. he thinks he ought to
have the support of Kcrr's friends now. But Cox
lost the respect of the Northern Democrats by his
marked subserviency to the Southern members, and
his course does not appear to have gained him any
increased strength with that element so that
il is doubtful whether he will muster any more
votes than he had last Winter. He may be strong
enough, however, to hold the balance of power and
TO throw the victory into the hands of one or the
other OF the principal competitors. The approach
ing session is short that ii might be supposed that
no one would care TO make fight for the office, and
probably the Cincinnati member would be allowed
to possess the chair in peace if it were not evident
that n regular election now would give him so
strong hold upon the next House that no rival
could shake him off unless he committed great
bunders. The contest next month will therefore
be a struggle for the Speakership in the new Con-
ress-if indeed it does not turn out that the Demo
Gratis have lost the next House.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Nov 2l.-The attorneys of

straining the Governor from canvassng the returns

ordered the Governor and the canvassers to
show cause on Thursday next why the
order should not take effect permanently.
The papers were served this evening There is

INAUGURATION DAY.

WASHINGTON, Now 20.-It has been generally
taken for granted that as tho 4th of March, 1877,
falls upon Sunday, the President elect will be in
augurated on the following day. This would be OBJ
serving two three precedents that have occurred
since the adoption of the Constitution. number
of prominent politicians are, however, now arguing
that in case Hayes proves to be elected and the
Democrats should show disposition not TO recog-
nize him. it would not be safe to permit days in
terregnum to occur. They think that not a minute
should be lost after noon on March in administer
ing the oath and installing the new Executive in

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21-The military furry has
pretty much subsidized after furnishing material for
MANY columns of dispatches to the sensational news
papers. The seven companies of artillery have got
their quarters fixed up In comfortable shape, ana
obviously have for supposing that they are
going to STAY. A few more companies are expected
enough in al to run up the effective force OF the
little army of observation to 1000 or 1.2OO men.
II will not be increased beyond this, at least
not for the present so it is stated at the War De-
partment but there no doubt that the possibility
Of larger force being needed has been fully consd-
cred and preparations made to meet any emergency
which may arise. Among the many reasons as
signed for the hasty and mysterious summonlng OF
troops to Washington, one which has found much
eedence is that the Government has information OF
the existence of secret societies in Baltimore sworn
70 resist by arms the Inauguration of Hayes IN case
he should be elected. Inquiry in that city to-day
developed nothing tending to confirm these reports
Republicans and Democrats there alike dscredlt
them. If such societies exist, their members must
be few in number and not of class likely to create
sny disturbance of the peace more dangerous than
barroom brawl. A good deal of bitter and threaten
inc talk may be heard in hotels ana other public
places in that city, but it does not differ in kind or
quantity from that of similar places in New-Y0rk
where Democratic politicians assemble.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Chef- Justice Cartier
who arrived to-day from Columbia, brings fresh con-
6rmation of the statement that the Democrats Of
South Carolina in the recent canvass cared very
little for the Presidential contest. Judge Cartier
was informed by Judge Mackay, who stumped the
State for Hayes and Hampton, and who frequently
spoke from the same platform with Hampton, that
the only reference he heard the latter make to the
Presidential question was on one occasion, when he
said that he could himself cheerfuy vote for Hayes
and Wheeler. Judge Cartier says there is not the
least excitement in South Carolina about the issue
of the national struggle, the people appearing to
have no interest in anything except their State
affairs The VOTE he thinks, was fairly counted but
he does not believe Hampton could have obtained
majority had it not been for the terror inspired

THE Charleston correspondent of the
Augusta Chronicle thus writes of the in
tentions of the South Carolina Ku-Klux in
the approaching elections. He evidently
wants the villainous policy of Georgia ter
rorism inaugurated in unhappy South
Carolina. Speaking of the recent military
parade, he says:
"The unanimous verdict of all is that as
military parade that of yesterday was by far
the finest that bas occurred in the South of
SSSf6ern White troops sInc2 the war. That it
will have an effect upon the dropping spirits
of the South Carolinians there can be no
doubt, and you may rest assured it will bear
a fruitful harvest. The mutterings of the
storm can be heard in the horizon, and before
long the storm cloud will be rent in twain,
and the scallawags, carpet-baggers and igno-
rant negro officials of South Carolina had best
get under cover, or they may feel the effects of

POLITICS AND PRAYER,

The editor of the Lynchburg Neaos, who
is himself man of prayers and processes
belief in their efficacy, took occasion to
ridicule the Cincinnati Convention from the
fact OF its having been opened with prayer,
and followed with q sneer at christian
statesmen" in general. But it seems the
"unterrifed'' at ST. Louis, having some
sort of superstition, like the idolatrous
Athenians, in regard to the subject, and
doubtless thinking that what was good for
the Republicans would do them no harm,
did also open their exercises with petition
ITO the unknown God" All very well so
far, but to carry out the Cincinnati pro-
gramme and present to the nation Chris
tian statesman of genuine, undoubted, uu
assumed piety was not in their disposition
or power. The senti nents of Gov Hayes,
expressed in his speech TO his home people,
who assembled without regard to party
affiliations to congratulate him after the
nomination, could only spring from pure.
Christian heart, and give the assurance to
every Christian in the land that in him we
shall have President who will govern in
the full realization and belief in the Divine
declaration that righteousness exalteth
nation, and who will bring to his aid the
guidance and blessing of the Supreme Ruler
of the universe, regardless of the sneers of
Democratic politicians.
The Ne'os editor, as is very apparent by
the tone of his writings, his expressions
and declarations, does not believe in mixing
his religion with his politics, holding the
two to be incompatible with each other, as,
we must admit they necessarily are on his
side of the fence. His party will need the
prayers of just such consistent Christians
as Gov. Hayes to save them from the fate
to which their unscrupulous and hypocrit-
ical course is leading them.

AFTER the Republicans had carried New
York for Grant in 1868, Samuel ]. Tilden
Joined in a conspiracy to cheat them out of
the electoral vote of the State. Horace
Greeley thereupon denounced Tilden in
the columns of the Tribune, as follows:
"IOur name was used without public pro-
test on your part in circulars sowed broadcast
over the State, whereof the manifest intent
was to make ASSURANCE dOubly sure that the
frauds he (Tweed) Perpetrated should not be
overcome by the honest vote of the rural dis
tricts. And you not merely by silence, but by
positive assumption, have covered these
frauds with the mantle of your responsibility.
On the principle that the receiver is as bad as
the thief you are as deeply implicated in
them to-day as though your name were Tweed
and O'Brienv
