NEW YORK, November IA
Times dispatch from Columbia, South
Carolina, signed by L. Cass Carpenter
Collector, says the returns from twenty
counties show that Tilden runs behind
Hampton 1,SOO Votes.
New YORK, November 14.-The
Worlds Columbia, South Carolina, dis
patch says:
General Hampton says he has re.
port from the managers of the election
in every precinct of the State, and is
certain of his election by l, 400 majority.
He knows but little concerning the
Presidential result, but does not concede
the State to Hayes. United States
Marshal Wallace sends the following
dispatch to the Herald from Charleston,
South Carolina: Returns from all the
counties give the State to Hayes and
Hampton. The official count will elect
Chamberlain.
COLUMBIA, S. c., November 14.-A
motion has been made by the Demo-
cratic counsel before full bench of the
Supreme Court, praying that writ of
prohibition and mandamus be granted,
restraining the Board of State Canvass
ers from exercising judicial functions
in the election of electors, members OF
the Legislature, members of Congress
and solicitors, and confining them to
ministerial functions only, and restrain
ing Dunn, CORDOBA and Hayne, candi-
dates for Controller, Treasurer and
Secretary of State, and nominees for
reelection to these offices, from sitting
as Judges of their own election. The
court issued rule requiring the Board
of Can vassers to answer on Thursday
why writs should not be issued. The
Board of Canvassers had decided for
themselves that they had no jurisdic-
tion over the election of Governor and
Lieutenant Governor, and hence no
question was raised respecting them.
CHARLESTON, s. c., November 10
The Columbia correspondent of the
Ne,cs and Courier telegraphs that Off
cial returns have been received from
all the counties in the State except
Laurens, Kershaw, COlleton and Oar
lingtOn. The returns for Laurens cOun-I
ty have been in Columbia since Friday,
but have I ct ut been delivered TO the
Canvassing Is Jard. The correspondent
is informed by Republican that the
majority claimed for Hayes by the Re
publicans upon the returns as they now
stand is 1900, and for Cham berlain
less. No county is thrown
out in this calculation.
Florida.
NEW YORK, November 1.-THE
Times special from Tallahassee says i
The county canvass OF the vote of Flori-
da was made to-day, but as many of
the polling places are hundred of miles
from all railway communication, official
returns cannot be placed in the hands
of the Board of the State Canvassers
fer at least a week. No figures that
can be relied upon have been received
from any of the counties tonight, but
all the scattering returns which have
come to hand show that the Republi-I
cans have underestimated, rather than
their majority.
Prominent Democrats are pouring
into the State from all parts of the
South, and a number from the North
are hourly expected.
A Washington special to the Cincin-
natl Gazette of yesterday says
The latest here from Jacksonville, |
says that the whole case is |
this: Taking the returns which can
not be disputed, and giving the Demo
Gratis the whole benefit of all the votes
they claim, Hayes majority is between
nd a of of hn
thorities here is that enough returns
are safe beyond the reach of manipula-
ton to insure the State for Hayes.
Louisiana.
NEW ORLEANS, November IA.
LOUISIANA CARRIED FOR HAYES UN-
QUESTIONABLE.
Things are quiet. Troops are COM
ing in rapidly. Two regiments are
here. The Returning Board meets in
Mechanics Institute Thursday. A
arge number of Northern men, of both |
parties, are present. The Democrats
claim the State with the five bulldozed |
parishes. But even if these are not
thrown out by the Returning Board,
he Republicans undoubtedly have the
State. The proofs of gross frauds and
terrorism by the Democratic bulldozers
are conclusive.
P. B. S. Pinchback telegraphs from
New Orleans as follows:
10 the Herald
"Oficial returns come in slowly, but
enough is known to warrant the belief
hat Hayes has carried the State on a
air count"
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. IA.
Senator West arrived here direct, to-
lay, from New Orlaans and had a pro-
racted interview with the President,
o whom he gave assurance that Lou
siana was Republican beyond all ques- d,
ion of-doubt. The grossest frauds and {
errOrism were practiced by the Dem {
'crats in strong Republican parishes
'ver perpetrated ia any State, and for l
10 other purpose than that of depriv- '
ng Republicans of large maiorities to
which they are justly entitled. The
democrats did not expect their report
d majorities in these Republican, I
would be counted, but by {
cts of terrorism they did expect to [
ave the vote of the parishes thrown {
ut altogether, and thus wipe out the t
republican majorities. West says that {
here need be no apprehension of the t
ote OF Louisiana; that it will be legally 9
iven to Hayes, and that Northern I
who are now in New Or s
cans, will be forced to admit, when v
hey hear the evidence before the Re v
1rning Board, regarding the intim- t
lated parishes that their party have t
erpetrated gross frauds and that the p
'oard can do nothing less under the Il
Nv than throw out these parishes. t
lie believes no trouble will occur and t
nat the Democrats will accept the sit d
alton when made familiar with all the p
lcts. n
Secretary Chandler still advises, and
lore firmly than ever, that Hayes has
cen elected. ;,
