preston of the rebellion, and Gov.
Tildea carried all but three Of those
which sought TO destroy the union.
In ILLUSION 10 frauds, he said the
majority for Tilden in the eity0f New
YORK was Larger than his total majority
in the entire state, and in wfnea city
much crime is perpetrated. and Where
there is a large number Of men who
have very little interest m the state or
republic. In the same way frauds were
committed in the states of New Jersey
and Connecticut. While it was true
that those in the Southern states who
gave Gov. Tilden a majority were
voters, many of them voted more than
once, but nobody claimed that Tiiden
didn't carry such states. The same
party that perpetrated frauds in the
Southern states for Tilden complain of
frauds in Florida, Louisiana and South
Carolina, but if there had been no
frauds in Mississippi, North Carolina
and Arkansas these states would have
gone for Hayes and Wheeler.
The President justified the exclusion
of Laurens and Edgefield counties from
the South Carolina returns on the
ground that Georgians voted in them
frequently and cast more votes than
there were voters for the Democrats.
Much had been said about the use of
troops, but considering the number of
lives sacrificed and the many political
murders in the South, it was necessary
to afford the required protection,
though all was quiet now in the South,
and SO far as he could he would protect
every n from violence. All steps
taken to this end had been duly con-
sidered.
In reply to a remark hal it seemed
the Democrats had abandoned the idea
of impeaching him, he said he would
advise them not to attempt it, for it
might bring out evidence which they
would not like to see.

cratic visiting committee to New Or

Hewitt, chairman of the National DEM

connected with the election and the re-
turns show that the action of the
returning board IN proclaiming the
election of Hayes electors is arbitrary,
unfair and without warrant of law.
