A dispatch from New York says
the Sun, in replying to the question,
What would be the,result il a Hayes

the opinion that his colleagues

the election would be thrown into
the House of Representatives, it be-
ing a tie. In this view of the case a
single assassination might prevent
the will OF the people. However,
the Republican Congressional gains

will probably have the House in any

legislation impossible. This is a

Though the situation is unchanged
the probability Of a Democratic up.
rising in the South, if a fair count
gives Hayes the votes Of South Car
olina, Florida and Louisiana, is daily
growing stronger. The President,
however, is not TO be overawed BY

that the men who undertake it will
find a difference between Buchanan

AT THE time this paper goes 10
press, CTuesday evening" our conf
dence in the election Of Governor
HAYES has been strengthened by
fuller information, since writing our
previous article. The conduct of the
Democratic leaders indicates, as did
their audacious claim OF Colorado,
even after the Republican Governor
had been i1augurated, that they are
conscious of being fairly beaten.
Whether we shall get the votes Of
Florida, South Carolina and Louisi-
ana lawfully returned and officially
declared, remains yet to be determin-
ed. 1t must not be forgotten that in
all three Of these states there was an
%antecedent probability Of Republican
success. South Carolina was not
even claimed by the Democrats.
Florida has gone Republican at every
election, save one. since 1868, and
was then only lost to us by 22S.
Even in 1874, when the tidal wave"
swept over the country, the Republl-
can majority was 1864. Louisiana
is as certainly a Republican state as
Pennsylvania and the most
most the Democrats had the hardi-
hood to do, was to place her, with this
state, in their doubtful" list, while
her Republicans claimed that they
would give a larger majority for
HAYES than would Ohio. Their can-
vass was vigorous and thorough,
their lists showed a heavy majority,
and they were perfectly assured Of
success.
On a fair vote and honest returns
there can be no doubt that al! three Of
these states are strongly Republican,
and so recorded their votes on Tues
day last, thus electing RUTHERFORD
b. HAYES President Of the United
States; and we have an abiding faith
that it viii so be ~conclusively proven,
before the next issue Of this journal.

THREATS.

When the Democratic leaders com
mence crying fraud, thew make con-
%fession that they are whipped. They
began this yesterday about the vote
in Louisiana, when in the nature of
things they could not know whether
fraud had been used or not, the par
ticulars about the election not being
known. But to the intelligent Dem
ocrat, a Republican victory is con-
elusive evidence of fraud; while a
Democratic victory is a sure testimo-
ny that everything has been conduct
ed with scrupuloUs honesty.
1t requires a good deal Of assurance
for those men to come forward now
with allegations Of u~nfairness, when
it is notorious that they have carried
Mississippi, Georgia, Arkansas, Ala
bama, and Texas by defyiD2 and
trampling upon the rights of Repub-
liean citizens in those States. Louis
lana has, as everybody knows, a fair
RepublieaR majority of at least 90
600. Take the respective numbers
of the colvred and white voters of
the State, and no other conclusion
can be reached. In five parishes the
right of Republicans TO vote was vio-
lentlg oVerthrown, but in spite Of
this the State has been carried for
HAYES. Now we are RECALLED with
threats as to what the White Line
| Democracy of Louisiana will do to
prevent the counting of the electoral
vote. "Stand by us, telegraph ;kese
gentry to their Democratic allies in
the North, land We will fix matters
in Louisiana" One blatherskite in
Indianapolis, named Ryan, telegraph
ed back that a half-million of Demo
Gratis were ready to uphold the hands
of the White Liners in their act of
revolution. Ryan lied. The De-
mocracy of the North are ready to do
nothing of the kind. Neither a half
million of them nor half a hundred Of
them will expose themselves to any
danger whatever in such business.
1t is the old brag and buster OF 1861
over again, and the Southern Demo
Gratis better not be fooled by it. The
more sensible and respectable Of
the Northern Democrats would not
sympathize with such . movement
anyway, and the others are mere
bl~oviators, whose moutbings mean
nothing, and who do all their fght-
ing with their tongues.
We can afford to indulge our oppo-
nents in a good deal Of cnrsing and
raving under the modification of de-
feat, bat they better leave this talk
Of revolution to school-boys. The
republicans have elected Mr.. Hayes

HAYES and WHEELER are unqu- $

electoral votes TO ls4 for TILDEN

Confident of success, their defeat
by SO mesger a majority has crazed
the Democrats, and they are wildly
claiming a half score Of States as yet
doubtful, hoping against hope, and
sullvnly yielding them up one by
one. as fuller returns demonstrate
the certainty of their having gone
Republican. Thus California, Ore
gon. Nevada, Wisconsin, Illinois, and
even Ohio and Pennsylvania have
been claimed as voting for TnDEN,
until full returns were received from
each when each in turn has been
abandoned, and the Democracy, now
in the last ditch, are persistently
shrieking that they have carried
either louisiana, South Carolina or
Florida. or all three Of them, IN the
face of sufficient returns TO show that
they have voted now, as always
heretofore. in favor of the Republican
candidates.
The absurdity of their claiming

Republican states, shows the desper-
ate shifts to which they are uriVen ~

in their folly until the vote is finally

Though the official returns from the
