The Florida Supreme Court has rem
dered decision directing a recanvass
and the counting of all votes from the
several counties on their face returns.
This move, while il will not affect the
result as far as the Presidential electors
are concerned for the reason that it Is
impossible under the law for the electo-
raj college to be. reconvened, may de-
clare the Democratic Governor and State
officers elected, as it admits returns
which the canvassing board had thrown
out. The action of the supreme court
has apparently decided that the state
canvassers have no discretion whatever,
but must count everything in the shape
of vote which appears regular upon
the face of it.

the three members to be elected in New
Hampshire in March, and counting in

WE have received through the COM
pliments of Peter Doyle, Secretary of
State, copy OF his annual report for
the fiscal year ending September Both,
1876. The most remarkable feature
about the report is the extraordinary
amount of soft soap which has been pur-
chased. In reading the list down we
come upon the following items: Den
MS Haggerty, soft soap, So; Jacob Din
gle, soft soap, 50; Mrs. E. Swink, soft
soap, So; Jacob Dingle, more soft soap,
ST; Elizabeth Swink, more ditto, So; J.
Dingle, soft soap, SO; J. Patton, soft
soap, S., 80; AMI SO on. It seems to us
there is corruption here somewhere in
this matter of soft soap. Soap, especi-
ALLY soft soap, is very plausible. Since
Taylor gorged himself on postage stamps
it behooves the people to look to their
interest with jealous care, and it may
be that Investigation will reveal in Mad
ison the presence of an immense ring of
soft soap cormorants who are sucking
the life blood OF soft soap of the State

CAUCUsING.
The Democrats held another caucus
on Thursday and resolved to take no
further action upon the Presidential
question until the reports OF the investl-
eating committees are received. The
Republican Senators held caucus on
the same day upon the Oregon case, but
nothing is known of their action.

THE New York Evening Post, which
has been very conservative in support
of the Republican candidates, and very
free with it's criticisms of Republicans
and Republican measures, insists that
Gov. Hayes has been legally elected
President; that prominent and candid
Democrats admit it; and that the party
generally will acquiesce in it when the
time comes. The Post is right. The
blatant fools who are talking SO glibly
about war will have pretty much blown
out by the second Wednesday in Feb

REBEL CLAIMS.
Mr.. Hunter, of Indiana, on Monday
last introduced resolution N the House,
the preamble of which recites that fears
are entertained that Congress will at some
future time pay large amount of mon
ely for damages SrJwing out of the late
war, and therefore to aIlay such fears
resolved that the Judiciary Committee
be directed to report within twenty days
an amendment to the Constitution,
which shall declare that no claim shall
ever be paid by the United States unless
the persons claiming damages, were all
through the war loyal to the United
States. This preamble and resolution
were adopted by vote of one hundred
and ffty-one to sixtythree. All who
voted against this resolution were South
ern men excepting Ainsworth of Iowa,
Carr of Indiana, Cowau of Ohio, and
Warren of Connecticut. This quartette
of Rebel sympathizers is entitled to
public recognition of their act, and
richly deserve the oblivion to which they
will be consigned after the fourth of
March next, for, luckily, none of them
are reel .cted to the next Congress-
Doubtless, many voted for the resolu-
ton who would not have doue so had
Mr.. TIden been elected. Many Demo
Gratis regard the resolution as unimpor-
tant, for the reason that they expect all
the Southern States, or more than one
fourth to vote against tie amendment,
thereby securing its defeat.
