The BulldOzers Of Florida, Louisiana and
South Carolina Playing their Last
Cards, and Nearing their End.
The Democrats of Florida Claim a Ma
iOrity Of 1897 for Tilden, and in
South Carolina the RAIDS are
Letting Down.
In Louisiana the Radicals are Making
the Final Figures in Secret Session
Only One Day More and the
Agony will he Over.

The situation in the PROSTATE States is
briefly told. Florida and Louisiana will both
make their final report to-day, and South
Carolina viii remain just as she Is until the
supreme court renders a decision in the ques-
tons now pending before it. The chances
are, as we said on Thursday, that the bull
dozers will finish the work they begun 50
well; and that congress viii have to dealwith
the whole question and decide whether Hayes
and Wheeler Or Tilden and Hendricks are to
be President and Vice-President of the United
States. The house, 1t will be seen, has al
ready taken the initiative, and appointed COM
mittees to Thoroughly investigate and make
report of the conduct and results of the cleo
tions in the States above named.

Professor Lowell Bridges over the
Chasm.

New YORK, December 4.-The Erening
Post has dispatch from Boston in reference
to a report which has gained some currency,
that the article in last weeks Nation. in re-
gard TO the duty of the Republican electors,
had the approval of Professor James Russell
Lowell, one of the Republican electors of
Massachusetts,. Mr.. Lowell says he never
wrote the leader for the Nation, and had
nothing to do with its article on electors. His
decision as to his own duty he had reached
three weeks ago, and it had never changed,
namely: that he must vote according to the
understanding on which he was chosen by the
people. He might wish it were otherwise if
he were an ambitious man. He might, he
said. cast his vote for some other person than
Hayes, but for an honest man there could be
no evasion of an electOr duty TO vote accord
ing to the understanding at the time he was
nominated What may have happened since
is none of his business. AS to whether fraud
had been or was to be practiCedin the disputed
southern States, Professor Lowell said that he
did not think any man athousand miles away
was competent to judge.

New YORK, December IA Times special
from Tallahassee says: The official returns
from Dade county, have arrived and were
announced by the chairman of the returning
board as being nine for Hayes and five for
Tlden, making a total majority for the Re
publican electoral ticket in the State forty
seven. On the face Of the returns one pre-
cinct of Dade county was thrown out by the
county canvassers for irregularity, but it gave
Hayes five majority.
Presentation of Argument by the Dem
OcFGtS.
TALLAHASSEE. December 2.-The morn
ing was consumed principally with the
presentation Of the general argument Of the
Democrats. This was prepared by Demo
cratic lawyers who are here, and was pre-
sented by Colonel George w. Biddle, of
Philadelphia. 1t is an elaborate document,
laying down certain general and well-settled
principles Of law, and then diecdssing the
cases Of contested counties under one or the
other of these principles II closes by ask
ing: First, That the board simply figure up
the face Of the returns ON which it claims
one hundred and twenty-nine majority for
IIlden, or It It sees mt to 90 behind the face
OF the returns, that 1t throw out GER
tain counties and precincts which will
leave a majority of 1897 for the Tilden elee-
tors. The Republicans offered no general
.rz-runent, but spent the day in offering new
affidavits and testimony. The decision Of the
board is confdentialIy looked for tomorrow.
1t is not possible to make a reasonable guess
as to what it viii be. Mr.. Humphries, the
candidate for electOr, who was
reported to be Ineligible to an electOrship be-
cause he was a shipping-master at Pensacola,
came before the board to-day and made oath
that he resigned in October, and that his

The Democrats Withdraw from the
Legislature.

Il
houses We're called to order, Speaker Wallace
announced that as there were one hundred
special cOnstables in the Statehouse to eject
Democratic members, and as he feared such a
movement would be resisted and bOOdshed
would ensue, he would adjourn his house to
meet at Carolina hall, where they are now in
session. The Republicans then went into
secret session in the Statehouse. The town
it full of people and great excitement pre-
walls
The Democratic house continued IN caucus
all this afternoon. Whatever action was
taken Is unknown. The Republican mem
bers Of the senate held caucus previous to
the regular hour Of meeting Of that body,
which was not harmonious. and lasted until
one clock In the afternoon, when the senate
met. The session was unimpOrtant until lust
before two o'clock, when it was moved that
the senate adjourn. The motion was carried
by a vote Is ayes to II noes. This action Is
regarded as important, as two o'clock to-day
was the hour set for counting the vote for
governor, and as the senate adjourned with
out considering that question or pOstpOning
it to some future day, it IS virtually
disposed Of in that body and must originate
in the house to come up again. The question
is now, whether the senate will recognize the
Mackey house as a constitutional body with a
membership Of ffty-six only holding certif-
Gates from the board of State canvassers, while
sixty-three Is a quorm? The Democrats have
sixty members, requiring only three to make
a quorum. The city tonight Is full of peO-
pie and others are arriving. The supreme
court heard the argument during the entire
day on the application for mandamus re-
quiring the secretary of state to deliver the
returns for governor and heutentant- governor
to Speaker Wallace, and adjourned this even
ing at half-past seven clock until to morrow
involves the other question, as to which Is the
legal house Of representatives the action of
the court Is looked forward to with great IN
