The New York Herald on the
Situation.

The New York Herald closes a
long editorial on the situation thus:
"The Republican party is not
made up of negroes and Toombs
lawyers. It contains a great mass
of honest, honorable, patriotic men,
and these will not tolerate what will
make them hang their heads IN
shame. They will not allow their
leaders to resort to trickery, to base
devices, to doubtful means, to connt
in their candidate. Already the
Republican opinion of the pro-
ceedings in the several disputed
States is such that it has be
come almost impossible decently
to count in Gov. Hayes. Already
the wisest Republicans say, in con-
versation, that for the sake of their
party they hope for Mr.. Tilden's
return. As yet the honest Repub-
ican RAISES are waiting in silence
but with decreasing patience; but
any further appearance of trickery,
and the least disputed States, to
take advantage of shallow legal
technicalities, to resort 10 under
hand and unworthy means, such as
the recent hearing of testimony,
charging intimidation, on which
the Louisiana Returning Board has.
it is said, determined, will give voice
to the smothered Indignation of the
Republican party, who can rot
stand silent and see themselves and
the good fame of their party sold in
disgrace.

South Carolina.

COLUMBIA, Nov. 25.-The SUI
preme Court has just entered judg-
ment Of 81, 800 fine each and com
mitment of all the members of the
Board Of Canvassers to jail until re-
leased by order of the court.
The Supreme Court took under
advisement the order requiring the
Board of State Canvassers to make
a comparison of the returns of the
county canvassers and precinct'man-
ayers in the cases of the Presidential
electors, and will give its decision
Monday. The court declined to is
sue certificates to the members of
the Legislature from Edgefield and
Laurens counties refused by the
board, but stated that such mem
bers could obtain copy of the re-
cord from the clerk of the court,
which would be equivalent to a GER
tificate. The five members of the
Board of Canvassers, who were con
stitutionally arrested this morning,
reported at the jail this evening,
where they are now confined.

assertion of our rights, if they are
attempted to be trampled down by
military power as they have been
for years; if it is attempted to APP
ply. to the people of the North, to
the people at the Capital, the same
unconstitutional and laWless exer-
else of military force as has been
used in the Southern States; when
that time should come, if come it
does, excuse me; but the man who
stands before you now once shed his
blood to cement these States more
firmly, and do you believe that I val
ne constitutional liberty less than
I value the union of these States f?
I Applause. Why, my country
men, the destiny of the nation for
the future hangs trembling in the
balance. The great American peo-
pie are hating and holding their
breath. Both parties are doing so.
They know full we'll that the popu
lar heart Of America has decided
that Tilden has been elected Presi
dent the United States applause ,
and yet now for two weeks or more
every resort which ingenuity could
use has been applied by the opposite
party to aid the Returning Boards
by military force, and TO oveTawe
American people by the show that
the army may be used against them.
For the first time in American
history we find the President of the
United States using his power as
Chief Magistrate TO advance the in
terests ofhis own party. Ny coun-
trymen of all parties, this will not
do. If we accustom ourselves to
the idea that one party may main
/ tain itself in power by the force o.
arms, it is the end Of Republican
liberty in this country. Applause.
The American people will do nc
such thing. Both parties will settle
it in less than two weeks from thi:
day, in my humble opinion, thai
Tilden is elected President, anC
when February comes ! shall look
for the returns to be counted by
both houses of Congress- and OF
the 5th day of March he will tax,
the oath of Office amid the trium
phal shouts of the American PEG
pie, and restore, once more, peac,
to this distracted country, and car
ry US into the coming century arm
in arm with our brethren In tn
South, to the grandest height tn
republic ever attained.

The Louisiana Returning Board
Scoundrels Caught in the Act
How the Returns of De Soto Par
ish were Tempered With.-An
Overwhelming Exposure Of Re
publican Rascality.-Visiting Re
publicans from the North com
PEELED to acknowledge the corn.
When the returns from the par
ishes marked contested were open
ed on Saturday, the Democratic
counsel were allowed to be present.
The returns of De Soto were
brought in and contained in one
package sealed with wax. When
the seals were broken by the mem
bers of the board there were found
inside a consolidated statement of
the votes. Attached TO the returns
were a large number of protests and
afiidavits.
The Secretary of the Board said
that the package has been received
on the 18th inst, and such was the
entry in the receipt book. The re
bAIu - liz 5llNAs ldA AOAlC ny mail
In the course of the inspection it
was discovered that one of the pro
tests of the Supervisor, charging
general intimidation, was dated Nov.
/ %, and sworn to in this city before
commissioner OF the Circuit
Court. Wien called upon to ex-
plain how a protest dated on the
25th inst, to-day, could get into a
sealed registered package received
by mail on the 18th inst, the Sec
rotary siad that he had received two
packages. He was detected by one
of the Democratic counsel present
in the act of making another entry
in his book Of two packages re-
ceived.
After some delay another package
was produced and found to contain
a consolidated statement of the votes
and the Commissioner returns, but
no protest or affidavits. The mem
bers of the Board were unable to
explain the matter. and Senator
Sherman, of the Republican Visi-
ting Committee, remarked that there
was no use to disguise the act, and
, that the returns had been opened
, and protests inserted after the pack
age had been received.
The affair created quite a sensa
ton among the members of the
committees present. The member!
2 of the Democratic Committee were
: very outspoken in the opinion tina
a fraud had been perpetrated, anC
the Republicans did not deny tba
the affair had a very peculiar aspect
The Democratic counsel say that
similar thing has occurred in tn,
case of other parishes, but as they
were not admitted until to-day there
/ was no opportunity to discover tn
= frauds.

SCHEDULE.
For a Constitutional Amendment
"That Same Old Coon"

Our wood.cut illustration last
week. designed and engraved espe-
cially for the ClrIzEN, has been uni
versally complimented 1t repre-
scented tue triumph of the Cock and
the Coon, as the emblems of De
mocracy and Whiggery, in their
united attack upon the Radical Ser
pent. The old democratic cock
stands with one foot upon the ser
pent's neck and crows in triumph.
The radical serpent writhes in the
agony Of his defeat and endeavors
to rise, and when about to succeed,
chat same old Coon" gallantly
throws himself into the breach and
plants his feet firmly upon the
struggling serpent, and pins HIM
down. The design and drawings
were originated by our local editor,
Mr.. Laps. d. McCord, and the en-
craving was executed by Mr.. 10.
w. Haffner, of this Office. We make
this acknowledgement without the
knowledge of either Of these artists;
but we think the design was so ex
pressive Of the situation, so com
prehensive, and so just in its repre-
sentation of the relations which ex
ist between the now united whigs
and democrats, that we do not fee
justified IN Withholding credit where
credit is so eminently dug. Al
other cuts and illustrations we have
ever seen seem to ignore the ole
coon, though we do not attribut,
this to any design or purpose tC
undervalue the old Wing influence
and strength, but rather to the fac
that "coons" have gone out of print
as it were. That is, the foundrie!
have quit making them, and they
could not be obtained. In this il
lustration our special artists have
enabled US to take the lead Of al
American newspapers in recogniz
ing and illustrating at one glanc,
the true relation between the two
old parties, and the grand result:
which have followed their united
efforts against the monster radica
serpent, which had well nigh thrus
its poisoned fangs into the very
heart of the republic. No illustra
ton and no demonstrations of JOY
at this juncture which do not recog
nize and acknowledge "that sam,
old coon" influence and powe
would do justice, neither would
truly represent the situation, no
reflect popular sentiment. Thel
here's a health to you, Mr.. Coon
and all your family. May you liv
long and prosper. And to you, MI
Cock, be everlasting praise anC
honor and glory. You have tri
umphed with the people, though
you may be cheated out of your re
ward by bayonets and the returning
boards.

NORTHERN VIEW OF IT,
Republicans COncede that Til
den Should Go In,

The New Orleans Times says
Gov. Palmer, Judge Trumbull and
other pre- minent Democrats of the
Northern delegation had an inter
view at the St. Charles Hotel on
Friday morning with Mr.. Harris,
who had just arrived from the
North. These gentlemen were in
curing of Mr.. Harris the feeling at
present among leading business
men of the North with regard to
the present political situation. Mr..
Harris said that he had coaversed
with quite number of merchants,
capitalists and bankers, many of
whom were personally known to
Gov, Palmer and Judge Trumbull,
and that he found the feeling to be
that the Inauguration of Hayes m
der the present circumstances meant
bankruptcy and ruin to the country,
while the Inauguration of Tilden
meant peace and prosperity, Mr..
Harms said that many Of the men
with whom he cOnversed were Re
pubhcans and had voted for Hayes.
The impression was general, he
said, that Tilden had been legally
elected; that he had the popular
majority of the electors.

1t is a nice question that Judge
Hancock, of Texas, presents in re-
gard to Colorado, as follows: The
Constitution entities each State to a
number of Electors equal to the
whole number of Senators and
Representatives to which the State
may be entitled in Congress. What
Congress? If it is the present Con
gress, which canvasses the returns,
Colorado is not entitled to any Sen
ators or Representatives in it, and
consequently no Elector. Should
the election of President, for any
Constitutional cause, go to the
House of Representatives, Colorado
would have no vote. Why. any
more, should she now have a vote
in the Electoral College?
Then il she has no vote in the
Electoral college, the number of
votes therein is reduced to 500 ia
stead of 500, and Tilden having re-
ceived an undisputed majority of
the whole IS4 votes, is clearly elect
ed, without South Carolina, Louisi-
ana or Florida.

The Very Latest.

In Columbia, South Carolina, 2Sth
two Legislatures we're organized
one black and one white. Federal
bayonets prevented democrat mem
bers from entering the State House.
The democrats thereupon, after
a solemn protest from the
State House steps, retired to another
Hall and organized, with 81 demo
Gratis and two white republicans who
refused to act with their party. The
republicans have only So members
and So of them are negroes. They
have five less than a quorum, while
the democrats have five more than
a quorum. Both houses claim re-
cognition and both were to demand
the returns of the vote for Cover
nor yesterday.
Florida.
New YORK, Nov. 28.-The Her
AIDS Tallahassee dispatch says Gov.
Stearns claims that the face of the
returns will show A majority for
Hayes. This estimate includes the
2IS Alachua votes which, it seems
to be agreed, will not be counted,
and II votes of acknowledged over
count in jefferson county, which
will certainly not be counted. Ad-
hitting these 23I votes the Demo
Gratis still claim Isl majority for
Tilden. There is not a difference of
10 votes between any Of the electors.
Another dispatch says there are
two sets of returns from Baker
County, one regular giving 3 demo
cratic majority, the other irregular
and giving Al republican majority
With the first return admitted, Til
den Electors have 135 majority
with both returns held subject tc
further decision, the democrats
have two Electors by five majority
and the Republicans have one Elec
tor by one majority.
Louisiana.
There are no new developments
except that the Board refuses t.
act upon returns when they shoV
democratic majorities even in IN
contested parishes. 1t is DR.. Red
/ fields opinion that these are bein
laid aside to be acted upon at tn
final secret meeting.

Grants Dark Designs.
Special to the Cincinnati Enqui-

Washington Special to the Cincinnati Enqui-
rer.
A distinguished army officer,
holding a staff position with the
rank of Brigadier General, says
there will be twenty-five companies
in Washington Saturday night and
that more are coming. There is no
longer any use of concealing the
fact that some of the coolest heads
anticipate trouble when the Elec-
toral vote is counted. Grant and
his henchmen are desperate.
If the Returning Boards count
Hayes in, the next assumption by
the Radicals will be that the Presi
dent Of the Senate can alone declare
the result, and the House must sit
merely as puppets and give dignity
to the occasion. 1t is believed by
many that, should the House exer
else its constitutional right to
antagonize the declaration of the
presiding officer at the Joint con-
yention that Hayes is elected, Grant
is prepared to treat such antago-
nism as treason, and viii even in
wade the Hall of the House with the
army to browbeat and overcome the
representative of the people. If
anybody imagines that Grant is GO
ing to allow Tilden TO win by any
legal forms while he holds the arm
ed forces subject to his command,
it is about time to get over such
whims Grant intends to inaugu-
rate Hayes whether he is honestly
elected or not. All he wants is for
the Returning Boards to be as de
termined as he is in the matter.
There is the hope, however, that
Hayes is little better than the
corrupt partisans who are endeav-
oring to steal the Presidency for
him, and that he will IN the end re-
fuse to accept the Office declared to
be his through the unblushing
frauds which are necessary to be
perpe trated in order to give him
even the shadow of right to it.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1876-11-30

That the electoral votes of South
Carolina, Fiorida and Louisiana will
be counted for Hayes, irrespective
of the popular majorities cast for
Tilden, is, and has been from the
first, an absolute certainty. 1t was,
and it is, the beginning of a bold
and well-planned conspiracy. of
which Hayes is merely the con
scious tool, but whose real head is
the Administration whose manag-
ers are the Republican leaders, and
whose resource and recourse will be
the army Of the United States
