The Boston Globes Washington correspond
emit says the message of the President is delayed
aad not a line of it has yet been written.
From some remarks dropped by the President
within the past few days, it is understood that
his message will deal vigorously with the cleo
ton complications, and its tone will be similar
to that of his order to General Sherman. 1t is
asserted by those who know him best that no
man was ever more earnest than he on this
subject, and in case trouble arises he will be
prepared to meet it at its inception.

The Canvassing Board Count i'm the Con-
tested Eleetor-Protest of the Demo
Gratis.
MONTPELIER, Nov. 21.-The board of county
clerks met and John B. Hall, county clerk for
Bennington county, proposed the following res
olution:
Resolved, That this board of canvassers are
of the opinion that their powers are simply
ministerial, and that their duties are already
defined by the statutes of this state, and they
therefore decline to hear or receive evidence
outside of the certificates of votes by the proper
authorities.
1t was adopted. This was done in direct op-
position to the following petition which was
offered by the contesting elector and counsel:
The undersigned respectfully requests that
you report to the Secretary Of State and to the
Governor of this state officially that 81. N, Sol
lace, one of the candidates for electors, was at
the time of such election, on the 9TH day of
November, 1876, holding the Office of postmast-
er at Bridgeport, in this state, and we protest
against your declaring said 81. N Sollace elect
ed or appointed an elector for the reason that
he is ineligible according to the Constitution Of
the United States. We farther request you to
declare the person having the next highest
number of votes duly elected as an elector of
President and Vice President of the United
States and certify the same to the Governor
with the number of votes he received.
(Sigued) AMOS ALDRIcH,
GEO. M. FISK.
Montpelier, Nov. q, 1876
We hear from the counsel for the contesting
eleetor that they propose TO apply for an in
junction upon the action of the board from the
state Supreme Court on the ground that the
board has done an illegal act in declaring Sol
lace elected regardless OF his ineligibility. The
injunction will be applied for at the January
term Of the Supreme Court in Chittsnden coun-
ty. No injunction can be obtained from Judge
Smaley, U S. District Judge, as the case is
not within his jurisdiction.
The Portland daily press., 1876-11-22

The result of the election may be briefly
summed up on the Democratic side as follows:
The election of a Governor, a gain of seven
states Senators and 81 Representatives, which
secures the return of Democrat to the United
States Senate, gain of two Congressman and
five solicitors, the election of a comptroller
General and probably of an Attorney General
and Superintendent of Education.
Colored Men Not Permitted to Vote.
Affidavits have been sent here signed by 900
colored men in Edgefeld county, saying that
they were not permitted to vote at the late
election, and yet the returns from that county
show vote of 2200 in the excess of the whole
number of male citizens over 81 years of age,
as appears by the census of 1875.
There are upwards of fifty commissioners,
managers of elections and United States Mar
shals now here, ready to testify to frauds in the
election and intimidation in Laurens, Edge
field, Barnwell and other counties.

Army Reorganization.
The army reorganization board continues its
sessions at the war department. The views of
several prominent generals have been received
and considered in the general discussion, and
the sessions of the commission have been of
remarkable interest. The discussions refer
particularly to providing for the speedy and
effective enlargement of the army in time of
necessity. Among the propositions is that of
making 70 men the quota Of each company. to
be kept at this standard in time of peace but
in time of war the maximum Is to be $50 men.
No definite plan of reorganization will be sug
gested, however, till Mr.. Banning, the chair
man of the House Military Committee, returns
to Washington.
