THE SITUATION.

Courier Journal:
Fire-eaters! for by such a name
the republican party is DESTROYS of
distinguishing itself IN current his
tory. They would certainly rather
rule in hell than peacefully serve in
the democratic heaven. KellOgg's
flame devourers are doing their
share of the sulphurous business
They have canvassed all the parishes
with heavy republican majorities,
and are in no hurry to go to work
on Tilden's decisive votes. Suspi
cion that their plan is to protract
the session beyond the sixth of De
cember. Casanave and Kenner, the
African members, bossed by Wells
and Tom Anderson. Great depres-
sion caused by news of the arbitra-
nv and Infamous action in South
Carolina. Fear that Kellogg's board
will not hesitate at like vilIainy, I'M
less it excites the Northern people
to indignation and opens their eyes.

Cropping out. The defiant dia-
boIism of the Louisiana thieves rap
idly manifesting itself. In such
way, too, that Kellogg's northern
hackers become palpably alarmed.
But they are in for a steal, and Ulys-
ses will doubtless lash them to the
Job. Seven polls in East Baton
Rouge kukluxed by the republican
supervisor, which enabled him to
send the board a republican major
ity, as ordered, while an "honest
count would have given the demo
Gratis six hundred majority. The
board willing to indorse the yillainy,
bat forced TO send for the ballot
boxes. Sinuous Wells refuses to
allow democratic candidates repre-
sentation among the clerks. Re
turns from twelve parishes not yet
received by the board, and the board
is by no means inclined to hurry NJ
the delinquents. A lively scene
over the application of Northern
newspaper correspondents for ad
mission. Gov. Wells loses his TEN
per, and has a correspondents arti
Gle read. The statements therein
made pronounced lies by Gen. An
derson. Gen. Anderson pronounced
a thief by some person in atten
dance. Offer to sell the returns o
one parish, which gives Tilder
about 800 majority.

! A square back down by the Flor
ida board. Strong hope that tn,
board will give the State to Tilden
The South Carolina canvassers fee
the force of the law. Tried and i'm
prisoned for contempt of court.
Hampton's fight. The dastardly
crimes of the canvassers does no
disturb the veteran, they being
clearly in contempt, and the Su
preme Court has the power to fore,
the thieves to fair count. The re
publicans endorse the steal, Will,
the democrats will continue in tn,
courts. Chamberlain defies the Su
preme Court, and falls back OIL
Grants assured help.
From Tuesdays Americana
o Lord, How Long? Which il
what every American citizen long
to know. The hearts of the people
are sick with suspense, but the Lou
isiana Returning Board still goe
grinding on. Another partisan tricl
at which the Democrats protest
Flolida's Board ready to commenc
{ the count. The South Carolini
Canvassers before a Federal Cour
on writ OF habeas corpus. U. S. sol
diers to run the Legislature at Co
lumbia to day, and forcibly inaug
urate the usurper Chamberlain
Grant told some damning truths b.
Wade Hampton, Senator Gordon
and others, a protest that must b
needed by an outraged nation
Chief Justice Waite appealed tc
but in vain. Meantime, Hampton
residence is burned by incendiariel
and negro Republicans are string
ing up colored Democrats in Ken
lucky. Grant sustains Chamber
lain in South Carolina. The Can
wasting Board of Jail birds ''won'
purge worth a cent" Florida Re
publicans "don't care d-n for til
courts"
From Wednesdays Americana
r Nearing the end. At least it be
gins to squirt that way now. Sout
Carolina affairs have already reach
r ed their crisis. Extraordinar,
scenes in her State-house yesterday
Chamberlain Black Minions fore
ed in at the bayonet's point, and tn
Democrats excluded by the sam
process. Two Legislatures wit
but a single quorum. Calm but dc
termined attitude of the Democrat
members. Intimidation cases be
fore the Louisiana Board. How tn
Pelican State is to be counted 70
! Hayes. Still some hope of justie
in Florida. Radical skulldugger
discovered in one county, but tn
Democrats have the State on tn
face of the returns.
