TILDEN ELECTED.

There can scarcely be anything more
certainly stated than that Tilden and
Hendricks have received a majority of the
electoral votes of the country, and are in
fact the President and Vice President
elect of the United States.
A little hope has sprung up in the
minds of some of the more anxious of
our opponents; and they have sought for
news elsewhere to strengthen their
chances which are certainly very slim.
We have copied from our most reliable
contemporaries Of New York and else
where of to-day 10 prove that none of
the States claimed for Tilden yesterday
have gone for Hayes, and that Tilden
still stands the President elect, with bet
ter chances for the doubtful States named
than his opponent. We now quote from
the Press of this morning, to prove from
what our most determined foe says that
we are still masters of the situation and
that there is not one chance in hundred
that Hayes will carry either of the three
doubtful States, all of which are required
on his side before he can win. The
Press editorially says:
''Still the country remains in supense
as to the result of Tuesdays great con-
test. TildeD is known to have carried
most Of the South, together with New
York, Connecticut, New Jersey, and In
diana at the North, and it is highly prob
able that he is elected. Three Southern
States are yet somewhat in doubt, to wit
South Carolina, Florida, and Louisiana
and Hayes would have to carry all ofthem
in order to win. Judging from the com.
plexion Of the partial returns received
from them there is not one chance in &
hundred that he has done SO.
In another article the same paper says
"At this writing, $50 A. M, of tn,
doubtful States of yesterday we cal
safely say that Wisconsin, Nevada, anC
Oregon have gone for Hayes, and Florid;
for Nlden. South Carolina and Louisi
ana are still claimed by both parties witt
avery strong probability that they vii
finally be added to the Republican column
This done the Electoral College would b
divided as follows: --1S8 for Tilden, 1S
for Hayes.
flour opponents had adresolvedon anythin
desperate they would take the very cours
they rre pursuing. Before they would a
tempt to throw out the vote of a State
to seize upon the ballot boxes, they won
ascertain whether that would accompli.
their object So now they are trying
make it appear that the contest is restt
upon the vote of Florida or Louisiana.
We assure our friends that there is I
cause for alarm; on the contrary thi
there is the strongest evidence to sustai
the confident belief that the next Pre-
ident will be that able honest Democrat
Reformer SAMUEL j. TILDEN; and tn
he will take his seat on the 4th of Marc

Ihe Reason Fish arc HiQh.

Yesterday representative of THE HER
AID had a conversation with fisherman
surrounded by shad and perch, and whose
clothing was so plentitully bespriDkled with
scales, that be bore the appearance OF a
knight in armor.. "The fish business you
arc asking after?" said he, as he removed
the quid Of tobacco from his mouth, with a
very expressible wink of ecoromy, and
deposited it upon the top of shad. "Well
sir, its mighty unsartin in Wilmington this
wear. Shad are scarce; the surgeons are
running the nets into ruinat on, and then
shad ajnt a coming up as nigh the top OF
the water as Trey does in hard weather.
That's the reason that sha. is SO high. They
are scarce, and then what does be lifted
from the water is Centennialed." Centen-
nialedY observed the reporter. "Wfs, do
you mean by Centennialed?" "Why taken to
Philadelphia, and the market is crammed
aud stuffed; people have been shaded up
there until they have got enough. Bnt they
will carry 'um up, and that's the reason
they are high here" Then he replaced the
quid and went down on it like cider press
upon apples.
