NEW CASTLE, Nov. 16.-Now that the
Republican wigwam has been removed, and
the room Of the Tilden and Hendricks club
closed, the young men of this city feel the
want of a reading room. There is no doubt
but that if suitable quarters could be pro-
cured. an association for mental and moral
improvement would receive the hearty sup
port of our people. Such at least is the
opinion Of those best informed on such
matters. The membership in the Diamond
State Club is full-that is, as full as the
size OF their room will admit of-and the
zeal and taste shown in its decoration proves
that they appreciate the fact Of being in
possession Of meeting place.

THE REPUBLICAN MAJoRITIEB IN SOUTH CARO-
LIMA AND FLORIDA PRETTY WELL CONCEDED
NO WAY OF UPsErTING LEGAL RETURN
FOR HAYKs IN LOUISIANA.
The summary of the New York Times, to-
day is as follows In South Carolina it is
perfectly evident that the Democrats have
given up all hope of having carried the
State for Tilden, and are now preparing to
give up the Governorship. An undisputed
majority for Hayes of about /, 200 is conce-
ded The State Board of Oanvassers met
yesterday, but, pending legal decision on
its powers, adjourned. The excellent rea
SONS the Democratic leaders i'll south
Carolina have for not wishing the
board to do more than merely count the re-
turns as presented to them, are shown in
the letters from our correspondents. In
Florida the last hope of the Democrats has
been swept away, though they still keep
up the game of brag. On their own fgur
ing the State is shown to be Republican by
from 800 to 1000, and the probability is
that when the returns are all in, the ma
jority will be something over LOCO. There
have been no advices from Louisiana since
our last which change the situation,
The Returning Board meets tomorrow, and
until it does meet there is nothing to do but
to wait. Senator Thurman has declined to
attend the counting of the vote in that
State, giving substantially the same reasons
as those attributed to Senator Bayard
An earnest appeal from the Republicans
in Mississippi has been sent to Gen. Gar
field, at New Orleans, asking that when the
gentlemen of both parties who are now in
that city have finished their work there,
that they come to Mississippi and make a
like examination of the frauds and violence
by which that State, which on g fair vote is
overwhelmingly Republican, has been made
to give Democratic majority.

The Democrats also claim small major
ity in Monroe county, in which the city Of
Key West is situated, and Jackson county,
which has always been largely Republican,
and in which, according to the Republican
claim, such frauds and intimidations have
been practlced IS to inyalidate the vote, if
not to secure Republican majority. The
Republicans also claim that they will get a
majority in the remote county of Dade,
which cannot be heard from for week to
come. Disregarding these counties, and al
lowing the Democrats all they claim in the
six counties above mentioned, and in the
twenty one counties which they assume to
have officially heard from, their vote
amounts to 7,1SS, against 749S Republi-
cans. 1t is believed, however, that the es-
innate Of 2, ,450 in the six counties not heard
from is too great by at least three hundred,
and that the majority for Hayes and Wheel
er, who ran at least three hundred ahead

New ORLEANS, Nov. 15.-Everything in
the city to-day is quiet There is nothing
in the way Of incoming election returns to
change the estimates made to show small
Republican majority in the State. The
communication addressed yesterday by
visiting Democrats to the Republican
gentlemen here has not been yet replied to.
In that communication, signed by John M.
Palmer, Lyman Trumbull and others, the
Democrats intimated that count of actual
VOTES cast would satisfy the country at large.
and the conference was invited with view
TO securing such canvass. Gov. Carroll
is in favor of such count, as they had it
in Maryland. A reply will undoubtedly be
made tomorrow, but it is understood that
the Republicans addressed-Judge Stanley
Matthews and others-will not entertain
such proposition or recommend it
as practicable, deeming it necces-
sary that the election laws Of Louis
lana must be fully complied with, and that
outside parties can have no voice in the
matter. Gov. Kellogg had long interview
with the Democrats to- day. He came be-
fore them merely to explain the laws of the
State. Gov. Curtin takes gloomy view OF
the situation. He has written home to
Pennsylvania that in view of the laws gov
erning the Returning officers Of Louisiana,
he knows of no power able to secure this
State for Tilden. There is rumor that DEM
ocrats are preparing to influence one or two
of the returning officers with the barrel of
money. Such a thing is monstrous to think
OF, and yet not beyond political possibili-
ties.
Gen Sheridan arrived here tonight from
Chicago. He has taken private quarters,
and did not appear among the politicians at
the hotels. He is not inclined to talk to-
night, merely saying that he. has no part to
