wholly different. II is not deemed prudent as yet
to specify but it may be said that IN certain conn
ties giving democratic ma titles there is scarcely
a foundation for the returns made, and IN one
county no pretense is made that the forms of law
were observed.
To establish these facts, steps have been taken,
and in some cases they have already been estab-
lshed. Intimidation ofthe negro, of every grade q,
from threats to discharge from employment,
which universal, down or up to banging by
the neck, which was actually done, was common.
In fact, it was the great hope of the democrats
that they might brighten the negro into voting
with them by such threats, which the leaders did
not hesitate TO recommend in their address. But
the party failed, and it is disgraceful fact that
now that they could not intmidate the negro into
voting with them, the democrats are quite gener
ally refusing to employ him, and are prosecuting
him IN many ways. 1t is attempted TO get mp Il
league to trade have to do only with democrats.
Ballot-boXes in not less than dozen places were
stuffed, records were destroyed, and false returns
made. Nothing Of this kind, scarcely petty III
equality, has been charged against republicans,
nor can there be. This victory. won without help
from any quarter, rests on solid ground.
Part Of Gen. Rugers command have come into
the State and more soldiers on their way. The
advance went quietly to the capital, and in a few
days the perpetrators of the frauds in.he western
counties will be arrested and lawlessness suppress
ed. The military will be sent TO wherever it is
necessary to enforce the law, expose frauds, and
arrest the guilty.

The STATE SURE rog HAYES.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Nov. l2.-The Tribune
need not fear lest Hayes be defeated by frauds in
Florida. II the choice really depends on Florida,
and Hayes is defeated il will be through fraud by
the wholesale in the counties bordering on the
Gulf and Alabama, where the population is I'M
tanned and almost wholly democratic; where a re-
publican is in constant danger, and frequently
pays with his life the penalty of avowing his SEN
timents. Stupendous frauds for Tilden have been
committed, but they will not avail or shake the
Hayes majority. Its only right this country should
know that the republicans of Florida have done
nothing that viii not stand the light. They have
carried the State for Hayes as really as Vermont,
the difference being only in the majority.
Pains from first to las. have been taken to keep
rigidy within the rule, and was not until Flori
da became the Presidential pivot that the cry Of
fraud was raised by democrats. In no instance
has there az yet been q specific charge made

special Dlspatch 10 the new 1ofk llmes'
COLUMBIA, Nov. l2.-At the meeting of the
Board Of State Canvassers yesterday, Gen. James
Conner, on the part Of democrats, submitted the
proposition that the board had right to canvass
the return for governor and lieutenant governor,
as the election Of these officers is, by the consttu-
ton, declared by the Speaker of the House Of
Representatives To this the board agreed Gen
Conner then submitted that the board had no right
to consider the question of protest contest as
to members of the General Assembly, representa-
tives in Congress or electors. The board decided
that they had the right to hear and decide such
contests. These points disclose the tactics Of each
party. There will be contests in four counties
as to members Of the legislature. The democrats
will probably be elected on the face of the returns.
II they are put on the roll, without question they
will control the legislature and decide the contest
be submitted TO the Supreme Court on Monday
The board also decided that it would not act in
secret session, but would admit the legal repre-
sentatves of both parties to its sessions. In view
of the frank manner in which all questions have
been met by the republicans on the Board of State
canvassers, there is quieter state of public feel
ing to- day. The Register "a democratic organ)
to-day asserts that Tilden will have 100 majority
in the State. The republican executive commit
tee is confident that Hayes will have an undsput-
ed majority of l0O0 and real majority of 1000
In Charleston the duty of keeping the public
peace has been placed in the hands Of Gen. Hunt,
commander of the United States forces, by the
joint action of the republican city authorities and
a committee of prominent democrats. The recent
riots have produced an antagonsm between the
races which brought great peril to both. The city
police were composed about equally OF blacks and
whites and the dissemination by each color with
its own in case of riot was believed to be inevi-
table; hence the calling out of another authority
is regarded as blessing. The white women and
children suffer peculiarly in their dread of the
colored female servants, who are known to be far
more exasperated at the prese Mt attitude of affairs
than the men. All appears to be quiet in this city.
While the leaders of the democracy have worked
up an intense hostility among the lower orders of
whites against Gov. Chamberlain, the better-n-
formed conservatives have confidence In his cool
ness Of judgment and upright intentions. The
race feeling here has not been prominently
aroused, and we are in better case than those 10

The Victory I'm Florida.

Especial Correspondence of New York Times. !
TALLAHASSEE, Nov. l2.-There is now no doubt
that the republicans have carried Florida by ma
jority of from 900 to /, 800 votes. From the
first they have claimed the State by much larger
vote, and for twenty -four hours after the election
there was not fel-informed democrat here who
was not willing to admit that their claim was
just one. This, however, was when they believed
that filden had been elected by so large major
ity that he did not need the vote of Florida. On
Wednesday afternoon, however, Mr.. A. S. Hewitt
the chairman Of the democratic National Commit
tee. telegraphed to the State Committee that Mr.
Tilden was not elected if Florida had gone repub-
hcsn. At the same time he teegrsphed to Mr..
Drew, the democratic candidate for Governor, and
to many other prominent democrats, begging them
the strongest terms to secure the votes of the
State for Tilden. These dispatches at once put
new face on the situation. Suddenly. without

clares that there is no question but that the vote

most stupendous frauds were carried on in this

were corrupted and used to secure the large vote
Tilden received in this city is beyond any gues-
ton. The truth will out before long, and revela-
tons will be made that will be astounding. The
men who worked the pools worked the men who
counted the ballots. Impecunious republicans
