Respectfully,

Supervisor of Ouachita.
The matter was referred to the Board fol
consideration. When the Board adjourned
the clerks proceeded to compile the returns
ment of the result.
Florida.
Pending the proceedings in the Court tc
compel the Board OF Canvassers to meet, the
Secretary of State issued call summoninq
the Board together.
The first session wa devoted simply to the
adoption of rules for the government OF the
board in making the canvass.
At the session on the 2Sth, the second day
OF the meeting, returns from all the counties
were opened and on the face of them they
gave the highest Hayes elector 7 ,460 and the
highest Tilden electOr Z. .4l8, majority of 4a
for the highest Hayes elector. The Democrats
were astOnished when the return from Baker
county was read, giving a Republican, ma
cratic majority and the Democrats did not
know OF the new return. At the evening ses-
sion the first return, showing 95 Democratic
majority was produced and read. If this re-
turn was admitted it would give Tilden 116
majority in the State. If both returns are re-
ected, two Tilden electors have five majority
and one Tilden elector three majority, and
licans have given notice Of contest in 10 conn
ties, and the Democrats contest 9.
On the Goth, the Board was occupied in
hearing afidavits alleging that, in the town
OF Archer, 3l9 votes were cast, while 538 were
returned. Afidavits were also read showing
the original returns Of Baker county gave 95
Democratic majority.
The I'd inst, was the last day allowed by
the Florida Board for the introduction OF tes-
timony, and both sides introduced large
amount.
There was only one new or notable point
raised. This was in the county of Monatee.

election. The Governor accepted his resigna-
ton at once. The county was thus lett with
out clerk. Some citizens attempted to reg
lister with the deputy clerk, who declined to
take their names. A new clerk was appointed
by telegraph, but for reasons differently ex;
planned by each side, did not qualify before
the election was over. The election was held
however, the registry list of last year being
used, and each voter taking the usual regis
try oath before a justice Of the peace who
offciated in lack OF clerk. The Republicans
ask that the county Ike thrown out, as the &C.
tion was irregular, and their voters in the
county not believing the election would be

only those on the registry list OF former years
felt it right to vote. The county is almos,
wholly Democratic.
The Democratic managers raised the point
as to the eligibility of Humphreys, Republi.

The Markets,

The Markets.
The importation of gold from En-.
gland has had the effect OF reducing the pre-
MUM in New York to $1.08 Ia
The break has not been considered perma-
nent, and is accounted for by the excess OF
imports over the exports of merchandise, and
the consequent influx of gold from London to
settle balances. According to official reports
during the nine months Of 1875 imports ex-
ceeded the exports by s54, ,04O, 729, and during
the nine months of 1876 the exports exceeded
the imports by s67,0l3,l85, the comparison
being made in gold values. The comparison
shows change in the merchandise balance
of more than 1921 ,0OO. 900 for the period COM
pared, and it is this settlement Of balances
that has largely created the influx Of gold and
the depression of value.
The wheat market remains unchanged,
New York paying sl.a2 for No. 2; Chicago,
sl.14 cash; Milwaukee $l.16@sl.l7. In Min.
neapolis and St. Paul the price remained at
$1.O0@9l OF for No. l, for miller's use, and 95
@96c for No. 2.
The Chicago dressed hog market was firm

In most cases the returns opened by the re-

Tilden and Hepdrickt We're not entitled to the

casions has oyerthrown the will of the people,
as expressed at the polls, and for which the
power is now claimed, in its discretion, to
change the result of the popular vote at the
recent election. In view, however, OF the re-
turns and the facts which should control the
returning boards, with which we have made
ourselves familiar, we have no hesitation IN
saving that the results shown by the votes
actually cast cannot be changed without pal
pable abuse of the letter and spirit OF the law
governing the returning board, and mani
fest perversi0n OF the facts before it. lrregu-
larities have been committed, in some IN.
stances by officers conducting elections and
making returns, but they are about as much
on one side as the other, and as to intimida-
ton and violence or other illegal acts prevent
ing free and fair election, there is evidence
on both sides, but not of such character as
| to affect the general result. In most instances
| the acts of violence proceed from law!essness,
| as in the case of Henry and Eliza Pinkston, J.,
| and had no connection with politics. 1t IS
significant fact that in the parish where it IS
alleged that voters were kept from the polls
| by intimidation, the total vote OF such parish
es was as large as any time heretofore, and in
the whole State is 500 above any vote here:
tOtore cast. An honest and tair canvass OF
the returns, even under the Louisiana law can
not materially reduce Tilden's majority as
shown on the face of the returns.
