port. l asked Mr.. Bushnell whether he
knew of any legal advice that these con-
tracts l have above described, and this
taking Of stock hereunder, was substar-
tial compliance with the law requiring the
capital to be paid in cash. On page $50, he
answers that they were so advised, and he
names S. j Tilden as the one who gave it.
On page 292, Oliver Ames swears that
Tilden advised that this method of paying
for stock was compliance with the law.
On pages 6S3 and 6S4. General Butler
swears Tilden was counsel, along with him,
in getting up these schemes, and virtually
makes Tilden one of the authors of them.

Concerning Speaker Kerr's
Successor.

speculattOns Concerning Speaker Aerr's
Successor.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald. August 20, says:
The death of Speaker Kerr was not gen.
orally known here until the newspapers an
nounced it this morning. Outside of its
effect socially, and in this respect it was re-
ceived everywhere with profound regret,
it started speculation Immediately a. to his
probably successor, and as to the method
of proceeding when Congress again comes
together. As to the first of these matters
the opinion is that the choice of Speaker
will lie between Messrs. S. S. Cox, of New
York, and Milton Sayler, of Ohio. Curiously
enough, the name Of Mr.. Randall, who was
Mr. Kerrs most formidable competitor, and
received the next highest number of votes
in the caucus, is hardly mentioned for the
place. 1t is said that Mr.. Randall is not
desirous now Of the honor. The choice
would 60 next to Mr.. Cox; but the Western
element, which has assumed 80 much in the
control of the House, favors the selection
of Mr.. Sayler, who was the Speaker pro
tenn. during the closing six weeks of the
session. Mr.. Sayler made an efficient and
acceptable presiding officer. The name of
Mr.. Blackburn of Kentucky, perhaps the
readiest debater and best posted parlia-
mentarian on the Democratic side and next
IN LQo60 EoSp6cL6 UO HAr. DI0lu6, Is also IQ6u-
toned as a possible candidate. The recent
advent of Mr.. Watterson, of Kentucky, on
the floor of the House has also brought his
name forward for the vacant Speakership.
The question has been asked whether Mr..
Sayler, as Speaker pro tenn, would preside
at the opening of the session next Decem-
Der. To this answer is made that, with the
death of the Speaker, his representative
pro tenn. ceases to hold his Office. This was
one of the possible complications which the
House was afraid of on the last day of the
session. Had Mr.. Kerr died last Tuesday
afternoon, as was reported to be the fact,
the office of the Speaker pro tenn. would
have expired, it is said, and all legislation
that day, after the moment OF Mr.. Kerr's
death, and in the absence of new Speaker,
would have been null and void. For this
reason the House, when it convenes next
December, will be called to order by the
Clerk, and an election had forthwith for
Speaker. Meantime q Democratic caucus
will be called by Mr.. Lamar, the permanent
chairman of the House caucus, which will
meet few nights before the opening Of
Congress and settle the choice of the party
for the position.

The following, from the Governor o
Louisiana, tends to show how the Demo
cratic papers set up their claim that they
have carried Louisiana:
To the Associated Press.
GOV. KELLOGG on THE LOUISIANA ELECTION
New ORLEANS, Nov. TO-
The following is published this even
| ing
STATE OF LOUISIANA, EXECUTIVE DEPT,
New ORLEANS, Nov 10, 1876.
To the Editor OF the Picayune:
In your morning issue of this date, |
read, with surprise, the following state
ment:
dispatches were exchanged last night
by Kellogg and Chamberlain; also, by
Kellogg and Senator Conover (Rad. }, Of
Florida. The Chamberlain correspond.
ence amounted to this: / will carry
South Carolina for Hayes if you carry
Louisiana. The Governors of Louisiana
and Of South Carolina, when il was
thought that the election Of Tilden de
pended on these States. entered into a
mutual agreement to return their States
for Hayes by any means"
The above contains a grave charge, and
seems to have been made with delibera-
tion. 1t is every word untrue. 1 have
sent no dispatch to Gov. Chamberlain or
to Senator Conover. / have received no
dispatches from them. / have neither
written nor telegraphed to the gentle
men named, nor to any other person in
the State of South Carolina or Florida
during the past six months, nor have |
received either letter or telegram from
them, or from any one else in those
States, bearing upon the election Much
more is said in the same issue of
the Picayune regarding myself and the
Returning Board. | am not q member
OF the Returning Board. / do not APP
point the members of that Board. / am
not responsible to them for my action,
nor are they to me, except that my name
has been placed on the Republican tick
ct as a Presidential elector. | am not a
candidate for any Office at this election
i have endeavored to be fair and Just in
the discharge of my official duties, and
think the record will show that | have
been so. l do claim the right, however,
as an American citizen, to express my
opinion. l have said, and / repeat, that
the majorities claimed by the Democrats
in the heavy Republican parishes of Qua
chita, and East and West Feliciana, have
not been ialrly obtained. The registered
vote of those three parishes is, white,
2, lC3; black, $3.50. They gave me a ma
jority for Governor in 1869 of 2, ,922. Even
according to the count of the Republi-
can candidates in 1874, a majority of
2,62l, as conceded by the Democratic
State Committee. They are said to have
gone Democratic this year by over 5000 |
majority, while in nearly every other pa
ri of 40 tot hn o1l0 L.,
been cast solidly for the Republican tick
et, and the Republicans have gained !
largely. 1 assert and the proofs, which |
cannot be hidden, will abundantly bear
put the assertion, that this change has |
been effected by systematic course of |
violence and murder, dis |
graceful to the State and to civilization. |

brags and busters, like it sd over the
Colorado election. But in its edition oI
Monday it declared that the presence oi
such eminent Democrats at New Orleans
as Henry Stanberry, Charles Francis Ad
ans, &c, will not prevent a fraudulent
count of the votes, thus admitting that
five negroes in New Orleans will be too
sharp for the smartest Democrats in the
United States Then the Enquirer sug-
gests that when the electoral vote is to
be counted the rebel House Of Repre-
sentatives must secede. and elect Tilden
This is another admission of defeat.
We repeat that all is uncertainty. The
official count may give Tilden either
South Carolina, Florida or Louisiana.
Either one will elect him, unless, posi-
bly,, the mountain counties of North Car
olina should come in so strongly Repub-
lican as to give that State to the Repub-
licans. But, should all the disputed
States come in for Hayes, he would have
only lS5 electoral votes, just enough to
elect him. The Democrats have discov;
cred, they say, one elector in Oregon,
and one in Vermont, who are Postmast-
ers, and not eligible. They also freely
talk of buying one or more electors, or
of assassinating one or more 1t is
fact not generally known, that each elec.
tor is free to vote for whom he pleases,
and there is no law or constitution to
prevent all the % electors in Ohio from
to do so.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1876-11-16
UNCERTAINTY.

1t is now one week since the Presiden-
tial election, and the result is quite as
uncertain as it was one week before the
election.
1t is certain that Hayes has carried all
the free States except New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana, and
that Tilden has carried all the old slave
States except North and South Carolina
Florida, and Louisiana. 1t is generally
conceded that Tilden has carried North
Carolina. If this be SO, he will have lS4
votes in the electoral college Hayes
must carry all three of the disputed
States, South Carolina, Florida and Lou
isiana, to get the requisite lS5 votes.
Both parties express great confidence OF
victory.
Now we have. during the past week,
carefully read and compared the dis
patches of both parties, and the editorial
comments of the leading papers of both
sides, and we are of the opinion that the
situation at this writing, TUESDAY morn
ing) is most favorable to the Republi
cans. We get much consolation from
the Cincinnati Enquirer. True, it lies,

DR.. Fishblatt.

The very strong endorsement given tc
DR.. Fishblatt by the medical profession
and the testimony of those upon whom
he has effected wonderful cures, have
rendered his movements of much more
interest to the afflicted, especially those
whose sight or hearing may be impaired.
He will arrive at the Gibson House,
Jackson, on Tuesday, November 2Sth,
and will remain three days. And we ad-
wise all who need treatment for loss of
sight or deafness, to avail themselves of
the present visit Of the doctor to have
their cases examined by him, for he may
not be in our city again for some time
The cures ne has effected in this city
and in many other places, arc SO well
authenticated that we cannot doubt his
competency to do just what he professes
to, and as there are but few who really
come up to their professions of skill and
ability in treating the diseases that afiiict
humanity, it is right to patronize a man
like DR.. Fishblatt, who does all he prom
ises to perform. 1t is certain that the
Doctor has relieved all who have applied
to him, and entirely cured several of our
citizens, who have given their testimony
in favor Of his remarkable skill. His
treatment Of diseases, which mar the
happiness of thousands Of people, has Sc
cured him an immense practice, and we
suppose he will be much crowded with
patients during the few days he will re-
main in the city. We advise all who
need his eminent services to call on him

claimed the victory, and that an official
