At q o'clock the excitement was renew

Wheeler. About sixty policemen were on
the ground. forming Gordon On the west
pavement Of South street, resisting every
surge made towards them. = Conspicuous
among the most active participants wh0se
howls tended to create dangerous excite
ment were two men, one wearing green
coat, and the other srayback, wearing a
sort of brindle colored coat. ..,...... ..
The greenback, after distinguishing him
sell, was commanded by Marshal Gray TO
cease his efforts. The marshal said, Il
mean what I say" and ordered police
man to take the man of, which was done
quietly and without resistance. The gray
back offered stubborn resistance to halt a
dozen policemen, and in the melee drop
: ned himself to the ground several times,
|breaking the hold which the clutches ofthe
law had on him, and nearly worrying
himself ont of his shirt. He proved TO be
most powerful man Of large sise, towering
among the largest policemen. He was
rushed through the crowd towards the Gen.
trail station, struggling violently and re-
ssting like Hercules, several times fall

OF the crowd. These two arrests restored
order, the crowd thinning ont very mate
riallv. The names given by the parties at
the station we're Thomas Murphy and Wm.-
Clabaugh. .s-.-.
Asa general thing the late afternoon
crowds were better hnmered. Whitelaw
Reid's dispatch, saying that everything
now depended on Florida and Oregon,
which were claimed for Hayes, was bulle-
tined at the American Office about half
past three o'clock, when the excitement
was renewed on South street. The crowd
BY this time appeared by the shouting to
be largely Democratic, and evidently did
not want that kind Of news. In the midst
of the furore raised BY the Tribune
bulletin, large man, from the stoop Of
the American Office proposed three cheers
for Tilden and Hendricks, which were
given with will. The leader in this out
burst was tenderly assisted down the steps
BY two policemen, and was soon swallowed
up in the crowd, which continued its
clamor for another vote for Tilden."'
About the Republican headquarters on
Baltimore street a large number Of colored
men helped to swell the throng, but they
took little or no part in the demonstra-
ton, and were not molested.
DISPATCHES were received all day in the
Sun Office, but nothing Of sufficiently
authentic character came till about 5
o'clock, when two special kilograms, ore
| from Jacksonville, Florida, and the other
from New Orleans, were received. These
dispatches, giving reassurinx intelligence
that Florida and Louisiana were both
Democratic and furnished more than the
one vote needed, were published in an
extra of the Sun Immediately afterward
heralding the good news This news re-
garded at the time as perfectly authentic,
created the widest delirium Of enthusi-

PEN N6YLVANIA.

Tuesdays vote, says the New. York
Sun, makes it plain that Pennsylvania ca'.
be reckoned as Republican State only b..
the peculiar methods of the Kemble arith-
metic. Outside Of Philadelphia, Tilde1
has = majority Of from four to six thou
sand. This is overcome in the city by the
notoriously fraudulent practices Of the Re-
publican Ring, which controls the ma
chinery of registration, and has access to
the interior Of the ballot box through
channels that are not specified in the con-
stitution. IN '"-
If any proof were wanting Of the auda.
city of these successful rascals, and the
enormity Of their operations, it would ap-
pear by a comparison Of Philadelphia S
registration and vote with New York;.
In Philadelphia the registration was 1885,
900, and in this city about $4,000. The
total vote Of New York vas within four.
teen thousand of the registration. In
Philadelphia the vote fell behind the regis
tration BY almost fifty thousand. In other
words, the disciples Of Bill Kemble, by
placing the registration at the preposterous
figures just given, prepared themselves to
overcome, by ballot box stuf6ng and dis.
honest counting, Democratic majority in
the State Of fifty thousand or under, anti
then employed 80 much of their margin as
was needed to save Pennsylvania to Hayes
and themselves.
So perfect is the system of fraud by which
thousands and thousands Of bogus votes are
registered and counted in Philadelphia al
every election, State, local, or national, and
60 smoothly and quietly does the work
proceed, that the country has ceased to
wonder, and has almost ceased to be indig-
nant. Corruption Of the ballo. there has
become a matter ofcourse.
Pennsylvania can never hope for clean
politics, fair elections, and honest admin
ministration until she has got rid Of hel
political arithmeticians.
