south Cardinals Vote.

Governor Chamberlaine' dispatch
to the HCrdid contains but little, so
far rs the results of the voting last
Tuesday are concerned, and that little
strangely vague. IL is more than Gu
rious that in a State like South Caro-
liua the Executive thereof should not
be able to furnish us with something
more definite. 1t will be fairly be-
lieved by the impartial that the deuO>
Gratis who have given the count on the
vote for Governor in every county are
correct The most striking point in
his dispatch, however, is the evident
determination to throw out sufficient
votes to give the republicans MAORI
ty. Governor Chamberlain acts pre-
cisely as if TIE votes cast were to be
but IA small factor in the determine
ton of the result The means taken
10y the democrats to proclaim the ne
tuai state of the polls at their Closing
have forced the game Of Governor
Chamberlain, and a desperate game it
is. He has clearly announced the
startling fact that board composed in
the majority Of officers seeking re-
election to their present posts shall
pass upon the validity of the returns
and throw out districts at will nay,
that enough will be thrown out to set
tie the result. After all the parade Of
troops to protect the coiorcd citizens,
after all the republican iubilation that
now every one could east his vote in
peace, after an election without riot or
disturbance of any kind, we are treat
ed to a glimpse of fabricated charges
of wholesale intimidatiOu,n a sort Of
sickoniug post-mOrtGm and inquest on
the bloody shirt" If The troops had
not been poured into the State if the
murders and assaults and browbGat-
iugs of the colored democrats had not
been notorious il the United States
marshais had not had the whole State
i'm their hands for weeks before the
election, arresting white men right
and left the country might, for all its
suspicion of the raScals who have
ruled in the South until IL is impover-
ishcd and almost bankrupt, have lent
an ear to Governor Chamberlain
ghost stories. They will not be listen
ed to now. The troops are already ia
the State and there is no danger of any
disturbance, but we earnestly entreat
the republicans who above winning
by fraud IL join hands with the demo-
Gratis. who only asks m honest count
of an honest vote, TO send representa-
tive men To be present at the canvass
by this suspiciously composed Board.

LONDON, Nov. S.-The DuiIy NeUs
this morning, discussing the prcsiden-
tial election m the United States, says (:
1.-THE result cannot surprise an atten-
tive observer Of American politics.
1t cannot cause the reversal Of the
legislation Of the years Immediately
succeeding tue war. 1t is a change
rather of man than Of measures The
Nc'rS fears no injury 10 the American
credit, and regards the payment Of the
national debt in specie as safe what
ever party may be i'm power. 1t bases
its generally favorable antiCiputiOns in
a great measure on the personal ante
cedents and moderation of Mr.. Tilden,
who IL likely TO exercise n restraining
influence upon the extreme section OF
the party.
The Standard also regards Mr.. Til
denis antCcedeuts as furnishing Il good
guarantee of the honesty and mOdcTa-
ton Of his administration and Sc
Curity against imitation. The stand
Urd COngratuates the Americans on
the hw-pbiding spirit displayed
throughout the country, and says the
result of the election is scarcely Il
greater cause of congTatulation than
the fact that 50 close contest for such
a great stake should have passed with
out violence and bioOdshed when riots
in few places might have turned the
scale by lntimidating voters.
LONDON, Nov. S.-lhc Times elaho-
ratcly reviews the difficulty which Mr..
Iilden will have to encounter in con-
sequence of conflicting majorities in
the Senate and House Of Representa-
tives, and all because of the claims OF
various sections of Democrats for office
and patronage. The Times considers
GOV. rilden's antecedents a guarantee
against his yielding to the pressure Of
Southern Democrats i'm favor of reac-
tionury measures, aud i'm any event il
is more obvious that there is no dan
ger of his asserting to the weakness
of initiation or rep uuiation, II says :

modify his foreign policy for tho con-

to have the Supreme Court inyos-
