How THEY COUNTED IN THE HAYES ELEc-
TORS IN SOUTH CAROLINA Columbia, s. g.,
November 19.-The conduct of the Board
of State CanYassers yesterday iustifes the
dlstrust with which that body is generally
regarded. Under the interlocutory order
Of the Supreme Court, and pending the de-
cisiorl OF the court upon the application for
writs Of 7ldnddmaS and prohibition made
by the Democratic counsel, the Board was
authorized to aggregate the statements of
the votes cast forwarded to them by the
county canvassers. The Board went to work
at once, and as the statement for each county
was taken up they compared that statement
with the returns Of the precinct manager,
OF which it purported to be the aggregation,
This examination developed the existence
OF serious discrepancies between the pre-.
cinct returns and the statements OF the
county canyassers, which discrep ncies We're
to the prejudice OF the Democratic can di-
dates. /. ;s.sssss .t.ss ~
When this fact became apparent, and
seven or eight counties had been SO com.
pared, the Board changed theiE tactics, and
outstanding protests OF Democratic
counsel proceeded TO make simple tabula-
ton al the county statements without at-
tempting to ascertain their correctness.
Upon this simple fabulation is based the
declaration OF the Board to be reported to
the Supreme Court tomorrow that the
Hayes electors are elected, and that only
two Of the Demo cratie candi datas forsState
officers ont OF six are elected. The Demo-
cratic counsel protested, md viii ask the

A ,TnDEN ELEcToR CHOSEN In ILLINOIS.
The Chicago Times of Saturday says:
II Governor Beveridge shall not let his
partisan bias override bis plain official duty
under the law, Mr.. Tlden will get the one
additional vote requisite to his election from
Illinois. For it appears that the friends OF
Mr.. HAYES in this State have chosen only
twenty electors, having DIVIDED their votes
for the other elcctor between Mr.. James j.
Castle OF the Nineteenth district and Mr..
Joseph. Castles, of the Eighth district, nei-
there which gentlemen, as the ballot-boXes
show, has received a majority or even a iplu-
rality OF the vote cast. The highest candidate
on the return OF those voted for by the friends
of Mr.. Tilden is therefore elected, and is
lawfully entitled to receive the official GER
tifcate of election. It is only by On arbitrary
disregard of the election law that the GER
tifcate can be withheld from him., and it
would be still more gross violation OF the
law to issue the certificate to either. Joseph
j.. Castles or James j., Castle, neither Of
which persons (and they certainly are two
different men, both OF whom were voted for
Intentionally, J received a plurality OF votes.

Illinois Appoints One Elector for
-.,s. -.n: l,.G Tifden.

| The Monitor, published at Streator, in
this State, directs attention to the eXtraor.
| dinary fact that one Castle, or one Castles.
| who was one of the Hayes party candidates
for presidential electors in Illinois, has not
been elected. 1t appears that there are two
.sRepublican" politicians in Illinois OF
nearly the same name; both OF whom re-
| ceiyed votes for electors. The name OF
one is James j. Castles; the name OF
the other is Joseph j. Castle. The for.
mer lives in. the southern part OF the
State: the latter in the central part OF the
State. III the southern counties James j..
Castles was the candidate voted for,
and for whom the votes have been officially
returned. In the central counties, Joseph
u. Castle (who was elector Of Grant four
wears ago) was the candidate voted for, and
for whom the votes have been officially re-
turned. Besides these two candidates the
| Republicans" voted for twenty candi-
dates for electors, all Of whom have been
elected But as Illinois is entitled to ap-
point only twenty-one electors, 1t is plain
that the two candidates, James J. Castles
and Joseph j. Castle, cannot both be elected.
And rs neither of those persons received
either majority or plurality Of the votes
cast it is equally plain that neither OF them
is elected or can be lawfully commissioned
an elector. ,,.s--:.;.s
:. What Them, is the result /? .Manifestly, it
is the election of twenty OF the persons
named ON the Hayes party list, aud OF one
of the persons-the one who received the
greatest number Of yotes--on the Tilden
party list. If the twoor more candidates
on the TiIden party list received the same
number of votes, that number being greater
than the number given for either James y.
Castles or Joseph J. Castle, then the 4deci-
sion as to which Of them is entitled to be
commissioned an elector must be made In

A warlike Picture.

CONCENTRATING TROOPS IN AND AROUND THE
NATIONAL CAPITAL FOR THE INAUGURATION.
New York Tribune Washington Correspondence
It is believed in military and navy circles
that orders will soon be issued directing pre-
parations to be made for the concentration
OF sufficient force at Washington to quiet
all apprehensions felt in the country Of rev.
dictionary demonstrations occurring to in
terfere with the counting of the electoral
vote, or with the inauguration OF the legally
chosen President. Army officers state that
a force of 10000 infantry and artillery
could in two or three weeks time
be assembled in the forts near WASH
ington, and well-informed officers in
the Navy Department say that about thirty
of the most formidable ships Of war in
service are now in harbors on the coast be-
tween Maine and the Mississippi, compris-
ing all the iron-clads fitted out when HOSTILE
ties with Spain were considered imminent.
All these vessels could be readily brought
to Washington if an emergency should arise
requiring their presence. It may be stated
positively that the Administration does not
regard the clustering Of politicians or the
threats OF partisan newspapers as indicating
apurpose, on the part Of any considerable
body OF citizens to resist the ;consummation
result does not CORES pond with their wishes.
President Grant and his advisers believe
that the masses Of the people Of both
parties will acquiesce in the result, what
ever it may be. No needless expense will
be incurred nor groundless fears aroused
by the concentration Of armed forces at the
capital, unless such step should be- re-
quired by q menace to the public peace,
which ought not to. be disregarded. At the
same time it may as well be known to all
men who imagine that lawlessness may in
stall President whom the, laws do not
elect that any attempt in that direction
would be madness. The President, mind
full OF his oath, will see to it that the Con-
stitution and the laws are enforced, and
will have ample powers at his command to
do SO. No mob. will interfere. with the
orderly count Of the votes Of the States by
the two houses Of Congress, or with the
Inauguration OF the successful candidate.

The daily gazette., 1876-06-30

A curious and novel point in law
affecting trades-unions, has been raised
in Canadian court A stone, cutter
at Montreal named Nalin, who did not
belong to the union, accepted work
from the firm of Bourgoin IL Lamon-
tagne at rates less than the union ex-
acted .whereupop,t the union, by threaten.
ing strike compelled his employers to
discharge him. HeInow sues the union,
a regularly incorporated body, for
actual and prospective loss, fixing his
damages at $1,000, and as he has the
Messrs. Dontre as his counsel, will
make very hard fight for it, The
Canadian law is very stringent on the
subject of strikes and all the relations
of labor, and as the judiciary is inde-
pendent of such popular influences as
induced the defeat of Fitz John Porter
in this city last winter and overthrow
the Tammany ticket, and public opin-
ion sets strongly against the evil fea-
lures of unionism, Valin is sure of a
very favorable hearing. He might also
invoke, as recent decision at Toronto
showed, the criminal law against the
members of the union as conspirators.
1t is somewhat singular that it has
never entered into the mind of the
moiested laborer or artisan to employ
against the union that threatens him
the favorite legal weapon of the late
Mr.. Fisk and the present Mr.. DAN
Drew, the injunction. If he were to
"injine" the officers and members OF
the union, he would put new phase
on the case, Perhaps, however, this
line has never been rcsorted to because
