WASHiNGTcN TERRITORY PoLILIrICs.
The returns indicate that the re.
publcans have carried the territory
by majority of 800 on the delegate,
aud that they will have majority
IN both branches of the legislature.
This result is surprising, and shows
how little reliance can be placed upon
estimates made previons TO an elec

Louisiana.

The Tri5mae'S New Orleans special
gives democratic claims that the State
will be 5000 for Tilden. The indica
tionS are that the democrats will have
a majority of three or four in the
Senate and in the House. The next
Legislature will elect United States
Senators. It was elained by C"I.
PackarPs opponents that he would
run behind his tioFet but the figures
show only a slight difference between

THE New STATE OF COLORADO
The territory of Colorado at the elec.

inhabitants for every voter would give

The PosIrIoS.-Fur the first time
in the history of the country " have
q great political party deliberately
undertaking to count a President in.
The returns show that Tilden is fair
y elected, but the radicals have no
idea of surrenderirg their ." soft
places" and so they undertake 10
mould and manipulate the returns so
as tc count in the defeated candidate.
The way the vote stands will be un-
derstood by reference to the follow
ing table:
, 1876-11-18

1t will be noticed that in order to
make a showing for their candidate
the republicans will have to carry al
three of these States. Now it is Il
conceded fact that the democrats
have carried South Carolina upon the
State ticket, and that Wade Hamp
ton is fairly elected governor. The
Tilden vote is somewhat less than
that cast for Hampton, but still near
enough to elect the democratic cleo
tors by not less than one thousand
majority. In Louisiana the democrats
cary their State ticket by from iiI-
teen TO seventeen thousand majority,
and with anything like a fair count
the eight electoral votes OF that State
will be placed in he Tilden column.
About Florida, there may be some
reason for doubt, but give Hayes the
vote of Florida, and he still lacks -
votes of an election. With these
facts and Egares before Us, the conclu-
sion is that Samuel J. Tilden is elect.
ed President of the United States, and
that the lin of March, 1871, will
witness his Inauguration into that
high Office.

the effects OF the Secretary of Wars visit to
the frontier was TO effect some arrangement
by which better facilities for getting whisky
over the Canadian border conld be made in
the interest of the post traders. Witness said
he had known instances under his own OBJ
servation where Indian chiefs had accused
the post traders OF taking their goods from
The Indian warehouse al night. and selling
them the next day To Indians over tue
counter. Witness said Robert Wilson, an
ex posi- trader, wrote him a letter once in

that Gen. Hedrick was the collector of the

EectiOn with the Emma mine transaction
must convince every honest, fair minded
man that he did nothing which should tar
