THE result of the recent remarkable
election is still as much a matter of con-
lecture as It was the day preceding the
election. It is narrowed down to three
Southern States, that are naturally Re
publican, and the whole contest is in
them. The reports from these States
remain conflicting, the friends of each
party claiming the victory. The mud
die increases, as the Courts in two of
the States-South Carolina and Florida
have been called in to aid in straight
ening out matters. Thus far it would
seem that this only makes things much
worse than before this interference. In
South Carolina, the Board of Canyassers
make a report, based on the returns as
made 10 it; and upon this, they have
issued certificates of election to the per-
sons having the largest number of votes.
This gives the Presidential Elect ors to
Hayes. After making out the certifi-
Gates, and after the duties of the Board
were concluded, and the time in which
the Board had right to act. had expir-
ed, as is claimed, the members of the
Board were arrested by an order of the
Supreme Court and lodged in Jail. The
Judge OF the United States CircuitCourt
then stepped in and released them on
writ of habeas corpus, and they are
now at liberty although in charge of the
y. S. Marshals. In Florida the Board
of Canvassers has convened and will
proceed to count the vote, which, it is
believed, will give the Republican cleo
tors small majority. In Louisiana, the
canvassing is going on in a manner that,
thus far, gives entire satisfaction to
members of both parties. The dis
puted parishes are now under consider
alton, and in few days it is hoped the
affair viii end, in doing exact justice,
and in giving the certificates of election
to such persons as are rightly entitled
to them. There is great excitement IN
South Carolina but the presence of Uni
ted States troops will, it is hoped, pre-
vent any serious outbreak.

PICKING FLAWS TN THE ELECTORS

Since it is known that Samuel j. Til
den lacks one electoral vote to place him
in the Presidential Office the Democrats
have been busy all over the country
striving to find one Presidential elector,
even in Republican state, which they
could gobble up from some irregularity
in the Republican ticket. It was dis
covered that there was postmaster in
| Vermont and one in Oregon chosen as
| Republican electors, and therefore lne1-
gible. Vermont has a statute to cure
such defect, so that mistake has been
remedied. AS to the postmaster i'll Ore
gon, it is not yet known what has been
| done in the premises. But he has re-
signed.
In proper retaliation the Republicans
have commenced to pick flaws in the
Democratic electors, and in Connecticut
they have already alighted upon two
ineligible Tilden electors, Colin Inger-
soil and Gen. W. B. Franklin. Mr..
| Ingersoll holds the Office of Commits
sioner of the United States ClrcuitC Court.
And Gen. Franklin was appinted by Sec.
Bristow one of the Commission to ex-
anime into the condition of the new
Chicago post office. That trust had not
been vacated at the time he was chosen
El6cUOI,
report to the Treasury Department.
These objections would take two from
Tilden's vote in Connecticut, unless that
State has remedial statute. Tt is also
discovered that in the Southern States
not less than six Tilden electors have
been chosen who were eX-Confederates,
and whose political disabilities have not
been removed. Now, we think this is
small business on both sides, for the in
tention of the people should be carried
out, even when they vote for an inell-
gible elector. But the Democrats COM
menced this mode of warfare and are
now likely to receive much more injury
than they can infiict.
In this State an effort was made to
cheat the Republicans out of one cleo
tor by some dirty trick in the office of
Peter Doyle, the Democratic Secretary
of State. But that vilIainy was defeated
and Mr. Downs has 1900 majority over
John Lawler, the highest Democratic
elector, while the residue of the Repub-
| lican electors have over 5000 majority.
| We have escaped a great peril In this
State. We hope the next Legislature
will thoroughly sift this matter and as
certain who were the parties to this
base conspiracy to cheat the people of
| Wisconsin out of one Presidential cleo
tor. The men who were guilty of this
attempted fraud should be consigned to
state prison for life They are no bet
ter than the Younger brothers. They
murdered individuals, but these Demo
cratic tricksters strove to assassinate the
life of The nation, for their fraud might
have placed in power q sham President
of the United States.

diseases of kindred nature. make no hesitation in
saying that kno,o YEGETINE to be the most reliable

My wife has been troubled with Catarrh for many
years, and at times very badly She has thoroughly
tried every supposed remedy that could hear of
and with all this she has for several years been grad
ually growing worse, and the discharge from the
head was excessive and very offensive.
She in this condition when she commenced to
take FEGETINE; could see that she improving

ties. l am now happy IN informing you and The
public (f choose to make it pubiic) that she

after nothing else would. Hence 1 feel justified in
saying that VEGETINE is the most reliable remedy

The official returns of Georgia give
Tilden majority of 5,1S5. Yet Demo
Gratis insist that it was fair and I'M
trammeled election As the negro pop
ulation is almost equal to the white, it
fellows as matter of course that there
must have been a most marvelousrevival
of Democracy among the negro voters
IN order to produce this tremendous
majority for 'sTildan and Reform" The
agent who telegraphed the majority
North prudently refrained from giving
the total vote of the state-the compari-
son would doubtless have been too sug-
gestive. -Four years ago, however, the
total vote was only 13S, 906, of which
Greeley had majority of but 1896.
Such figures prove what kind of an cleo
ton the last was.

Mr.. NJ. MOWER, Of Arcola, Mimi. is
building, and will have ready for the
opening of ice navigation, fine ice
steamboat, for the navigation of the St
Croix river, between Saltwater and ST.
Croix Falls. This Will be a novelty, and
new departure, but Mr.. Mower has
full confidence in the success of the en-
terprise. The boat is to have a nice
cabin, and viii carry freight and passen-
gers. Ii will be more comfortable to
take a ride to the railroad in a warm
cabin than In an opeE-air cutter. The
boat will have a wheel filled with iron
spurs, move on steel runners, and be
PROPELLED by steam.

offered two members of the Louisiana
Returning Board ii they would use their
efforts successfully to count in the Til
den electoral vote in that State It ia
also reported that fears were entertained
that the parties named had yielded to
the bride, and hence the hesitation and
care on the part of the remainder of the
board IN filling the vacancy still existing.

ANOTHER great engineer enterprise is
now to be undertaken and pushed for
ward to speedy completion. This is
nothing less than tunnel under the
Hudson River from New York to New

the only wonder is that New York has
been content so long to endure the an

The Democratic organs and orators
never tire of denouncing the use of troops
il the South to keep the peace and pro-
tect the rights of the colored men, and
citizens generally. The terms "Federal
bayonets,' ssmilitary despotism,' and
isbayonet rule have been used by them
so frequently that even tue saloon poll
ticians can mouth them with the utmost
volubility but the organs have never
yet been able to name a single instance
where 'sfederal bayonets' ever prevent
ed q legal voter from voting just as he
desired or where military despotism"
has ever shed drop of blood, or COM
mitted an outrage upon individual rights
and interfered in local affairs in any way
except to aid III preserving the peace.
If the liberties of this country are never
overturned until overturned by such
use of troops as President Grant has
made of them since he was President,
they will stand till the end of time. It
is precisely because they have been used
to prevent the violation of the rights of
citizens and the shedding of innocent
blood that the Democrats have raised
the hue and cry of military despotism. ?"
Let the people keep this truth in mind.

On Saturday night another grand
demonstration was gotten up by the
citizens of Dccllerd and vicinity. The
programme was arranged on Friday
night previous, so that everything
worked oil in excellent style. A large

which kept up a bright blaze for seve-
