ment would carry conviction to the
., whole American people. Itwas not done
As counter movement to that OF the
Democrats under the call Of their politi.
cal managers, which latter action, how.
ever, he understood was in compliance
with the request Of the people Of
Louisiana, He seemed to feel that the
end in view, fayoring justice and honesty,
would be subserTed by the course taken.
incidentally he remarked thatthe send.
ing Of troops into south Carolina and the
Southern States had produced a good
effect and has maintained the peace.
When the present troubled condition
OF the publiemind was referred to he said
he did not anticipate any tsouble il the
proper precautionsvere taken in time. All
that rupture Of the peace needed for
its prevention was frmness, promp.ness
and decision, as well as having force
enough at command TO NIP ii in the bud, !"
Here the President reflected for mo-
ment, and then reviewed an important
epoch in our history in the case of
Buchanan in 1861. He said:
"It a temperizing, vacillatipg and 'un-
decided policy had not been followed,
there would moi have been the civil war
and its disasters. At one time, had he
acted with decision, he might have
stopped the whole thing with brigade
Of troops; but he waited until the mag.
nitude of the disturbance had got past
his control"
ADO you anticipate trouble in the
South, Mr.. PresidentF' I asked.
"Oh, no." he replied with smile ~
have made It . rule through life, never
to anticipate trouble. never look for it
until it comes, but I believe in being pre-
pared for it, and having the means at
command to check it. A reference to
the result Of the Presidential election,
brought from him the opinion he has here
totore invariably expressed that Gov.
Hayes is the fairly elected President, but
that it is matter of duty and propriety
to submit to the result as it will be honest

votes.

ELECTION OF HAYES.
SEw YORK, November 1.-THE Tfnes
to-day says: "Our dispatches from South
Carolina, Florida and Louisiana during
the last twenty.four hours leave the stu
alton practically unchanged. We still
claim with increased confidence all these
States by majosities substantially the
same as previously published. From
South Carolina even the Democratic dis.
patches yesterday virtually gave up the
State to Hayes by admitting that Tildsn's
majority, il he bad any, would fall below
100. Similar reports from Florida and
Louisiana may be expected from the
same source"
Times special.l
NEw ORLEANS, November 1.-THE
situation has not materially changed.
Very few official returns received and no
accurate reports from the more remote
Red river parishes. We have just re.
ceived the vote Of Catahula, a Democratic
parish, which goes against US on the Ma.
tional ticket by $50, slight gain for us.
We elect Republican member OF the
Legislature by three votes. This gives
us the Legislature on joint ballot.

NEW York, November l2.-From the
Timex South Carolina special the official
returns OF twelve counties now in, with
the estimates made by the Democrats, for
the other counties, show majority for
Hampton Of l,42s. In the twelve official
counties Hayes will runs l 900 ahead. Of
Chamberlain. From reports received from
other counties it may be safely set down
that Hayes will run two thousand ahead
of the Republican State ticket and thus
overcome the 1928 majority claimed BY
the Democrats for Hampton. No doubt
is felt here among the prominent Repub.
licans that Hayes has a majority which
will be undisputed by any one.
CHARLESTON, s. c., November l2.-The
latest correct returns give the Democrat
ic State ticket 1878 majority. Tilden,
in thirteen out OF SO counties, run seven
hundred and twelve behind the State
ticket. Governor Chamberlain claims
the State for the Republicans by two
thousand.
