When we say that Dr. b. L. Wag.

present this district in the Senate Of
Pennsylvania we assert that which
is conceded everywhere throughout
the district. He is eminent in his
profession and scholar considerably
above mediocrity. He is a fearless
and unfiinching advocate of sound
ideas and policies. He will receive

accessions from the opposite party,
Senator Dill has had his share Of

The Great Calamity in India.

Calcutta, Nov. 20.-Three large ISL
ands, Hattiahe, Sundeep and Dakhin
Shahabozhare, and numerous smaller
islands included in the B~ackergunge,
Norkholly and Chitagong, were entirely
submerged by the storm wave of Oct.
3lst, and also the mainland for five or
six miles. These islands are all in an
estuary of the FLYER Negua. The largest,
Dakhin Shahabozhare, was 500 square
miles in extent. 1t had Il population of
240, 00O. uattiahe and undeep together
had about 10000 population. Up to
II O'Clock on the night of the 3lst,
there were lro signs of danger, but be-
fore midnight Il wave swept over the
country to II depth, i'll places, of twenty
feet, surprising people in their beds.
The dense groves of c%ocoanut and palm
trees around the villages email led many
to save themselves by climbing among
the branches. Some took refuge on top
of their houses, but the water burst
their houses asunder and swept them
out to sea. Some were carried thus
across the channel, ten miles, to Chill
langong district, but u vast majority
were never heard of again. The coun-
try is perfectly flat, and almost every
one persisted who failed to reach trees.
There is scarcely u household on the
islands and on the adjacent coast but
lest many members. The cattle are all
drowned. Boats are swept away and
means of communication with other
districts destroyed. There is much
distress among the survivors, which the
government is relieving. The govern
rent Gazette says that wherever the
storm wave passed, it is believed that
not a third of the population survived.
The islands have barely one-fourth Of
their former inhabitants. The stencil

The board met at 1890. All the
members present. The minutes were
read and adopted.
Governor Wells stated that the Gys-
tenn OF rules for the government of the
board had been adopted. The rules
were read, and require that the board
will first take up the parishes in which
there are no contests, and after oislos-
ing vi these parishes, those viii be taken
up in which there are objections. All
motions, ETC., made by attorneys must
be in writing. No oral argument will
be allowed. Any candidate or bis rep
resentatiye who presents a witness must
also present interrogatories. No &C
parte afidayits are to be received.
Judge Spaford offered a rule as a
substitute for the rule for executive
sessions, to the effect that the sessions
of the board should be pnblic, and rep
resentatives of each party ard press re-
porters be allowed to be present. Judge
Spaiford spoke in behalf of his motion.
Gov. Wells stated that the board
could not accept the amendment; that
it had been decided to admit only the
national commissioners and their re-
porters. phe answer to the protest Of
the Democrats on the returns was read.

of the vacancies Oh the board and that
he knew Of only IN vacancy. The APP
plication Was laid over subject to call.
Zilcharie gave notice of a protest
against the board proceeding until this
vacancy was filled. On motion of
Skinner; the board resolved to take up
the returns of the parishes to the can
vass and compilation of which there
has been no oil lection. Col. Zacharie
made application for the admission of
U. 5. supervisors, which was taken
under advisement. He also stated that
he had District Attorney Beckwith's
opinion on the subject. The returns
of Ascension, Assumption and Avoylles
were sent for and the board went into
executive session.
The board then commenced their
anvas of votes, taking up the undis-
puted parishes in alphabetical order.
Three parishes. Ascension, Assump-
ton. and Avoyelles, were dispoted of,
giving about the same vote us shown in
the tables made heretofore from dupli-
cate poll lists.

The Returning Board in Session.
New Orleans, Nov. 2O.-At the State
House to-day, the Senate chamber and
its surroundings betokened the APP
preaching session Of the returning
board. In the middle of the apartment
were arranged three tables in u circle
one for the returning board, the Others
for the Republican and Democratic
committees. The corridors surround
ing the rotunda were closed by bairi.
cades, guarded by the assistant SER
geant-at- arms. A squsd Of police were
stationed in the vicinity, in the rear of
the Senate chamber, in order to be on
hand in case of disturbance. Towards
noon the returning board and commit.
tees entered the room. The gentlemen
| representing the Republicans were
Messrs. Tuttle, Garfield, Sherman,
| Hale and Stoughton, and for the Demo
Gratis appeared Messrs. Trumbull,
| Palmer, Bigler, G. Is. Smith, q. w.
| Julian and Watterson. The returning
| board has determined to exclude during
executive session all persons except
members of the national committees
| Council will only be called in when
| contests are raised-that is, where con
test has been filed or accompanies re-
turns. Counsel will not be allowed to
examine returns when opened, but
merely to witness the unsealing Of the
package. The Democratic committee
on returns will have a o in the
neighborhood of the hall of representa-
ltives, in order to be within easy reach
of the senate chamber. Each of The
national committees are accompanied
by a photographer, to record the pro-
ceedings for their respective commit
tees. When the board goes into execn,
tive session members of the press will
be excluded. The sessions of the board
will continue from day to day from 10
a. m. till 4 p. m. The clerks of the
board are posted in a room back of the
senate chamber. Local committees
representing Democrats and Republic
ta1s were present at the executive SEES
! sion.

AN 1HttitottHy 0ocuHttHt.
TALLAHASSEE, Nov. 20, 1876.
To Hon. z. Chandler, Chairman Repub-
lican National Committee, Washing
ton, u. c.:
We have been frequently asked to
give the figures of the electoral vote of
the state as claimed by the Republic
cans, and we have declined to do so for
the following reason. solely: Official re-
turns have been received from 80 roun-
ties of the 80, and until all are in we
are unwilling and think it unwise to
give our understanding of the figures,
because of the possib lily of the figures
in the Democratic counties still behind
being sufficiently changed to alter the
result. We don't necessarily impute to
amy one q design to commit fraud, but
it Is enough that such Il thing is pos
sible, and not unknown here or else
where.
In this state in 1872 the raising of
country returns in favor of the Demo-
cratic state ticket nearly one thousand
votes was discovered at the last mo-
ment, and only counteracted by the
ex%tiaordinM y efforts which we're made
to obtain the original precinct returns.
We feel entirely justified in refusing to
give any information which shall even
III the remotest degree render any such
fraud possible or desirable. The delay
in beginning the canvass arises from
the following causes:
First. the uncertainty as to whether
the governor alone, or the general
board of state %canvdssers are the legal
canvassing officers of the Presidential
vote. The Democrats have asked to be
heard on the question, and it is nov
under consideration. Second, all re-
turns are not in, which, it is claimed
by many, is the legal prerequisite the
beginning OF the canvass, and If it
were otherwise, yet for the reasons
above stated, it would be unwise to
begin until the returns are received.
Net untrequently returns from renIoter
counties do not reach Tallahass zee for
three Or four weeks, and the law allows
the general board of state ~canvassers
to wait 35 days for the returns. Ii.
some counties the county even
is not required to be made until twenty
| days from election. Frauds or irregu-
larities in certain precincts are charged
by each side against the other, and it is
desirable and proper, If it shall appear
that such questions are to be gone into,
tina: both parties should have ample
time, if they desire it, to procure proof
by law. The general %canvassing board
is clothed with full powers to correct
fraud and irregularities in the several
polls. This provision Of the law is
e%minently wise and needful.

Sittina Bulbs Movements.

Sitting Bulls Movements.
Washington, Nov. 20.-A gentleman
from Northern Dakota reports here to-
day that Sitting Bull is receiving am
munition from British territory. In
mense quantities have been purchased
up there and shipped across the coun-
try by wagons.
Disqualified Southern Electors.
Judge Robinson, assistant solicitor
of the treasury, finds on examination
that at least six Democratic electors in
the South have not had their political
disabilities removed.
Encouraging Ners from Florida.
The national committee kilograms
from Florida to-day represent the stu
alton as satisfactory. Those Republic
cans who are in position to know say
that since Saturday four more counties
are in, all giving less Democratic mil
~jorities than estimated. This has dis
pirited the northern Democrats who
arrived there lately believing conf
IDENTIFY in the false figures the Democrats
had sent north. Mai y Democrats give
up the fight. 1t is believed plans have
been made to capture the ballot boxes
in some remote Republican precincts
and counter measures have been taken.
Troops are expected at Tallahassee
soon. The arrival OF these Jour addi-.
tional counties, making an unfavorable
showing for the Democrats, has, it is
believed here, carried the Republican
majority to a point which can't be
overcome by manipulation of the re-
manning returns.
Good Netrs from Louisiana.
Washington, Nov. 20.-Louisimatele-
grams state that the omission of the
names of some Republican electors
from the ballots was confined to one
parish, and will not affect the result.
1t is believed, however, that the re-
turning board would not throw them
out, since the House, the Democrats
concurring, decided it is perfectly COM
petent and legal to consider the evident
intent of the voter in casting his ballot,
when found incomplete or informal.

Chicago, Nov. 20.-This afternoon
the county canyassing board rendered
their decision on the question of the
irregular returns. They held that the
question before them was whether the
returns before them were election re.
turns at all, and that it was their duty
to decide that question. They decided
that they were not returns in the eye of
the law, and consequently could not be
counted. The report was agreed by all
the canvassers, Gen. Lieb and Justices
Hamill and Haines. This will elect
Hoxie (Dem. to Congress, over Aldrich.
1t is contemplated, however, to appeal
to the courts.

Democratic Indifference.

Democratic Indifference.
Washington, Nov. 20.-Several Dem
ocrats have returned from South Caro-
lima, reporting astonishing indifference
among the Democrats there toward Til
den. Hampton Is their chief choice.
They speak bitterly of the conduct of
northern Democrats who aided seces-
sion, and then deserted the cause. They
have no intention of making any move
toward another war. They have had
enough.
