tcrday afternoon, consequent upon the rcccp-
tion of the official News from Gov Chamberlain
that South Carolina had cast her vote for Hayes
and Wheeler by majorities ranging from $50 to
1,1oo, without throwing out any returns. As
"bull-dozing'' was largely practiccd in the coun-
ties on the coast and on the Georgia line, the
resu1t-was highly gratifying; and the ,Rcpub-
iicans felt hopeful that similar result would
follow the official count in Louisiana and Forida.

This, it will be remembered, is the Democratic
concession. In several of the counties the Re-
?ublicans claim larger majoritlcs than those
given. The following arc the Democratic ma
joritfcs in twenty-onc counties, as reported bv
, 1876-11-19

lhe democrats also claim small majority In
Monroe County, in which the City Of Key West
Is situated, and Jackson County, which has a.
ways been largely Republican, and In which. ac-
cording to the Republican claim, such frauds
and Intimidation have been parcticed as to in
validate the vote, if not to secure n
Republican majority. The Republicans also
claim that they will get major
ity in the remote County of Dade, which
cannot possibly be heard from for week to
come Dlsreggarding these counties, and allow
ns the Democrats all they claim in the six coun
tics above mentioned, and in the twenty-opc
counties which they assume to have officially
heard from, their vote amounts to 7,18s1 against
7,333 Republican. 1t is believed, however, that
the estimate OF 2,450 in the si1 counties not
heard from is too great By at least 300, and that
the majority for HIVES and Wheeler, who ran at
least 500 ahead OF the State ticket, cannot be less
than from 500 to 1000 votes. This will appear
as the returns come from the County Boards Of
Canyasscrs, and before the State Board has
thrown out any districts where frauds have been
committed, Il the Democrats do not commit any
1rauds other than those already perpctrated by
them.
1t must be understood that because of CIV
stearns' impartial policy in regard to the an
pointment OF county officers, twcnty-nine coun-
tics in the State are either in part or wholly
under the control of tho Democrats. They e.
ercised the most arbitrary power at the polling
piaces, and all the returns are still in their
hands What the Republicans hare to fear now |
is that thes will fraudulently raise the vote in
some OF their districts, and so make IN apnarent
majority before the State Board of Canrassers
[or their candidates. Should these changes hc
made, and fraudulent majority for Tilden be
BY them, the question OF going
'ehind the county returns will arise before the
state canTassing Board. 1t is not probable.
'owcver, that the Democrats will be
ble to commit such frauds as |
ri1l render this necessary. They
re closely watched, aud any illegal action on
