the Fourth district. Secretary of State
Beck is holding back the canvass of
the Congressional vote, though tho re-
turns from Marin county have been
received by mail at his Office and there
is nothing 20 prevent an immediate
canvass. The delay, however, is prob.
ably TO give time for the District Court
at Monterey to decide as to whether
the clerk in San Lorenzo precinct has a
right to correct all footing of
the returns after they had been certi-
fled to by the supervisors, AS on that
question depends a majority for either
Pacheco or Wigginton.
M. d. Boruck, Secretary of the Re
publican State Central Committee, in
Inmates that pressure is being brought
upon the Secretary of State not to Isl
sue a certificate to Pacheco, thus put
ting the burden of the contest on him.
Pacheco himself, in an interview,
says that Secretary Beck admitted TO
him that he was elected, but that
yielding to the pressure of party
friends he could not at present issue
his certificate. One report in this con-
nection is That Gov. Irwin, Wigginton
and Attorney General Hamilton have

upon Markley, Clerk of Monterey
county, to induce him to issue an
other return to the Secretary Of
State, giving the original figures
as returned by the Board Of Super
visors, and that Mr.. Beck will then
issue a certificate Of election 10 Wig
gington, who then will have Il major
ity If one. This is the scheme, but a
gentleman from Monterey stated that
he believed Markley to be honest, that
he had assured them he should make
no change as the figures already SEM to
the Secretary of State are correct. Ev-
licences of Democratic frauds in Fresno,

omitted votes In Clay county, which
appear on the face of the returns from
that county but are not added up in
the general result, because it is not
i'm evidence hat the inspectors and
clerks were sworn, but the twenty
three votes will probably lie counted
by common consent. This would
leave q majority OF 10 for the Repub-
lican Electors.
The county that made the only vio-
lent inroad on the Democratic calcnla.
tions was Baker. They had a regu-
larly certified copy of the retnrn from
that county giving a Democratic ma
jority of 81. This return was regular,
and it was thought final, but this
morning a new relur was received,
signed by the Judge and Sheriff but
not the County Clerk, which. by the
throwing out Of several Democratic
precincts, gave the Republicans a ma
jority of Al, making a difference of 1875
votes. The Democrats were astOunded
at this alteration, and will probably
produce the precinct returns to show
that It is an incorrect return. Upon
completing the counting Of the rev.
turns the board adjourned until 4
o'clock p. NJ.
NEW YORK, Nov. %.
A Herald's Tallahassee special as
serts that the Baker county Judge re-
fused to canvass the election return
with the County Clerk and Justice Of
the Peace. and the two latter made the
canvass and returned Tilden a major
ity Of 95 instead of III for Hayes, as the
eturns accepted by the board gave it.
The Tribune special referring 10 the
case says: Upon no construction of
the statute is this Tilden certificate OF
the Clerk a return. In the absence or
refusal to act of the Clerk, the County
Judge may call in the Sheriff, but in
10 contingency can the Clerk and a
Justice Of the Peace without either the
County Judge or Sheriff canvass or
make return Of a county. The third
day after the election, taking adyan-
tdge Of the absence for a day Of the
county ,Judgethe Clerk procured Jus
tice of the Peace and pretended to al
vass the returns, and made up the GER
titicate which is now presented by the
Democrats. No Judge or Sheriff be-
ing present when the pretended can-
vass took place, it is utterly without
legal validity.

Thurman Conduct Burnt Fatally.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 90.
This afternoon an unknown woman,
living in the upper room Of a lodging
house on the corner OF Kearny and
Broadway, seized a little Italian boy
about five years old, who visited her
room peddling ducks, and flung him
out of the window a distance of rs feet
into the cellar-way. The boys injuries
are probably fatal. The woman has
not vet been arrested.
A young woman aged IS, wife of
Nicholas Peterson, of Stanford Stables,
Oakland Point, was probably fatally
burned yesterday by the explosion Of
coal oil with which she was kindling a
fire. She ran screaming into the street
with her clothes blazing, where the
neighbors caught her and extinguished
the flames, but not until she was liter
ally roasted from the waist downward.
There are no hopes of her recovery.

THE TELEGRAPHIC NEWX.

The only news pproximating defni-
nitude concerning the presidential
muddle in our telegraphic reports to-
day is a dispatch from the Clerks OF
the Board of Canvassers in Florida to
the New Rork Times, stating that the
canvass of all the returns, excepting
those from Dade county, upon their
face showed an average majority for
the Hayes Electors of about As votes.
We infer that the canvass was an in
formal one and not decisive. The Re.
turning Board in Louisiana is progress
ing slowly with its work, but nothing
now or definite is shown concerning
the final result in the State, further
than was indicated in former dis.
patches. There is no change in affairs
at the Capital OF South Carolina, fur
Their than that the Republican mem
bers Of the Legislature were in session,
but were unable to transact any bust
ness, not having a quorum.
A Chicago dispatch states that an in
famous attempt vas made upon the
life of General Sheridan while return
ing to the North from New Orleans.
The story of the horrible Ku Klux-
ing of q negro family in Louisiana,
published a few days ago, loses some
of it's sensational qualities in the fact
that the woman upon cross .examina-
ton stated that the crime was com
united by persons of her own color.

In the Returning Board to-day Judge
Spotford suggested that the board give
an order compelling the Supervisors
from Franklin. Grant, Livingston, La
fayette and Tangipahoe parishes TO
hand In their returns. In these par
ishes there were large Democratic ma
jorities, and by holding back the re-
turns, contrary to law, the Supervisors
might make or unmake the Governor
or President.
Gov. Wells said If the votes were
not here they could not be counted.
The board was entirely independent OF

order to the supervisors if the returns

CHICAGO, Nov. 20.
Gen. Sheridan arrived this morning
from New Orleans. He states that tho
stories of intimidation have not been
overdrawn and can not be. There was,
he says, really 40 election in many
parishes, the form being merely a
blind for frauds, which will be clearly
proven. Attempts were made to wreck
the train on which he returned Mon
day night. Three several plans were
laid, but in each case the engineers
vigilance averted the calamity which

CAUGHT AT IT.-The following dis
patch, which we copy from an e1-
change, for some reason failed to reach
us among the regular press report:
"The returns from De Soto parish

package sealed with wax. When the
seals were broken by members Of the
board there were found inside the con-
solidated votes. In the Commission
ers' statement and the tally sheets at

received here on the 18th, but it was
discovered that one OF them was dated
the 25th-to-day. In e~x EXPLANATION ofthis
he said he had received two packages.
One of the Democratic counsel present
detected him in the act of making an
entry on his book Of another package
received. Another package was pro-
duced, containing the consolidated re,
turns but no protests. Members Of
the committee being unable to explain
the matter, Senator Sherman (Repub-
lican) said it was useless in attempting
to disguise the fact that the returns
had been opened and protests inserted,
which created a great sensation. The
Democrats openly charged fraud, and
the Republicans did not deny it. The
affair had a very peculiar aspect. The
Democratic counsel claim that similar
things have occurred before to-day,
when they were not admitted to dis.
cuss the frauds.

were not taken by surprise by the
attack which was made at sunrise.
The village was located in a canyon
running nearly north and south. 1t
contained about 200 lodges with
perhaps 500 warriors. General Mac,
Kennels fighting force numbered
nearly 1000 men,. Most of the enlisted
Indians behaved we'll at the start, but
after the first heat of the charge
very many Of them relapsed in APP
parent indifference to everything but
plundering the abandoned teepees of
the Cheyennes and trying to run of
horses. About 20 Indians hat can
be counted were killed, and doubtless
many more have fallen behind the
rocks. About five or six of our
horses have been killed.
