Aud still the all absorbing question is in dis
pute. AT one hour the republicans confident
and full of hope, then the democrats fortfy their
doubtful expectations by q telegram from some
source, and at once their courage Is renewed.
The interest is not confined by any means to the
adut population, but is shared in by the boys and
girls to unparalleled extent. The teachers of
our primary and other schools find their pupils
fully posted on the political situation, and ready
to defend their favorite candidates by exhaustive
arguments, backed by authorities most conclusive.
Frequently party spirit runs so high amongst the
juveniles as to cause them to initiate older pohtl-
clans in the selection of terms most expressive
and without regard to elegance. Ii is to be
hoped the question may be justly ard finally set
tied at early day, TO the satisfaction of all fair
minded citizens, of whatever locality or political
school, LET us have peace"

COLUMBIA, November 49, The board of can
vassers heard the argument this afternoon of Le-
roy F. Goumans in behalf of the democratic citi-
zens.
lie maintained that the board had no power un-
der the constitution to alter the result of the
county canvassers and the State board had no
power to change the returns and could only con-
solidate and announce the result.
At the conclusion of the argument the board
adjourned until tomorrow morning, when II. b.
Eliot, colored, will address the board on behalf of
the republicans. lie will insist that the board has
minis rial and judicial functions and that it has
the right TO canvass and throw out votes in any
county where there has been either fraud or in
timidation.
Up TO this evening returns had been received at
the Office of the secretary of State, but from egh
teen counties, leaving fourteen to be heard from,
1t will take at least week before the official
count Is announced. Both parties claim the
State and heavy frauds are charge on both sides.
Federal troops have been concentrating here for
the last two days.
The State board of canvassers decline to furnish
any information to night concerning the election.
They say not more than two-thirds Of the counties
have been heard from officially. The democrats
have their figures from representative each
board of the county managers. They have no
doubt of the election of the democratic State tick

state that they have information that East Baton
Rouge has gone republican by three hundred ma
jorty. The tables are pub lished up to Saturday
night and the city vote is put down at 300 ma
iority for the democrats. The afcial count shows
l00l6 majority for Tilden. Additional returns
from parishes do not materially change the results
as telegraphed Saturday of the votes polled. The
democrats appear to have about 5000 majority

mat bloody shirt.
That blood stained shirt hung out from the
STANDARD office was probably an eff!y of the one
in which Abraham Lincoln was murdered, and
that it was designed to represent once for all, the
long list of murders inflicted by the democratic
ku Kuy kans and White Rifle Leagues upon
thousands Of republican voters white and colored,
in the "solid South" 1t is we'll perhaps that the
msityred Lincons bloc ly shirt should thus be
exhibited, as sample of the WHOLE aud express
sive OF the appreciation and pleasure which such
modes of carrying elections have given to the
STANDARD; bat it strikes us that the Haunting of
only one shirt, even if that be the stained gar
ment Of the beloved head and front of the repub-
can party, Is not enough to give full glory to this
mode OF Justify ing wholesale murders. Let our
Augusta citizens witness a grander display the
entire length Of Water street. To this end lines
to the number of one for each of the democratic
States, should be drawn across the street at equal
distances from the foot of Rines' hill to the fac
tory; from which should he displayed as many
bloody shirts as there are Tilden electors chosen
each string being surmounted by a picture in
