The Board adjourned until 1 o'clock,

Youmans in behalf OF the Democratic citi-
zens. He maintained that the Board had
no power under the Constitution to alter
the result OF the election rs announced by
the county canvassers. The State Board
had no power to change the returns, and
could merely consolidate and announce the
result.

and heavy frauds are charged on both sides.

COLUMBIA, November l4-=i2;20 A. NJ
The State Board Of Canyassers will reveal
nothing. They say not more than two
thirds Of the counties have been heard from
officially, and they will not give the figures
from those. The Democrats have their fig
ures from one representative on each board
Of managers. There is no doubt OF the
election OF the Democratic State ticket.
Tilden is claimed by a smaller majority.

Especial telegram to the Dispatch.J
COLUMBIA, S. c., November 14-12:O5 4.
M.-Corrected returns-which make all re-
ceived' at Democratic headquarters official
put Hampton's majority over Chamberlain
at 1,311. In about half the counties in the
State Tilden runs nearly 1000 behind
Hampton. A statement made by Governor
Chamberlain's private secretary-who, it is
coniectured, has had access to the official
"REMINISCENCES Hayes and Wheeler ma.
iority over Chamberlain in twenty counties
counties of 1000; and goes on to say:
elf the ratio OF increase proves the same
in the remaining twelve counties, Hayes's
majority over Chamberlain will reach 2,400,
which will give Hayes, according to Demo-
cratic estimates OF Chamberlain's vote, about
1900 maj ority in the State" The Republi-
cans still claim a majority Of five thousand
for Hayes and two for the State ticket, based
on the assumption, it is supposed, that one
or two heavy Democratic counties will be
thrown out. -
ALI the troops in the State have been con-
centrated here and at Charleston. Two
companies have been ordered again to
Aiken, which leave tomorrow morning.
Considerable surprise prevailed here at this
latter move, as there was no disturbance in
Aiken county. 1t is believed, however, that
the arrests contemplated previous to the
election, and abandoned for the time being,
are now to be made; and hence the troops.
A rumor was current this evening to the
effect that an additional supply Of one thou
sand troops had been ordered to the State
and that new officer had been assigned tc
the command OF the forces here. Inquiries
failed to trace the rumor to any authentic
source.
Colonel Black, of the Eighteenth infantry
is now in com mand in the State.
Hon. A. II. FL. Stuart, Of Virginia, has
arrived here.
