MIDDLETowN, DEL, Nov. 13.-The store
of Messrs R. & W. t. Johnson was broken
into on Saturday night, the thief effecting
an entrance by breaking the plate glass of
the shoe window. The noise, however, of
the breaking glass awoke Mr.. Stewart, who
proceeded to learn the cause, and saw a
colored man escaping through the windaw,
whom he thought he recognized as one
John Green. Only one pair of boots were
missed. The man was arrested on Sunday
morning and brought before Squire Walk
er and charged with the theft which he de-
MED. He was held to bail to appear at No

WARRINGTON, Nov. 49, Secretary Chand-
Ter says he is constantly in receipt of dis
patches which clearly show that Hayes has
carried Florida, Louisiana, and South Caro-
lima. These dispatches contain no particu-
lars in addition to those already published,
and the evidence they furnish of Hayes
election is simply cumulative. He says
the public now know all that can be known
Of details until the official vote can be re-
ceived from the three States named, and he
has no doubt whatever that the final count
will show 1856 votes for Hayes and Wheeler.
He believes it was the purpose of the DEM
ocrats to practice frauds in the canvass of
the returns in Louisiana and Florida, but
everything possible has been done to de-
feat such efforts and secure fair and hon
est return of the votes cast.

Gen, Sheridan was ordered to New Orleans
to take command of the forces now there.
He left Chicago tonight for that city, and
upon his arrival at New Orleans will make
such disposition of the troops as will secure
the public peace in any emergency. secre-
tary Cameron says there are sufficient
troops at New Orleans, Columbia, s. o., and
in Florida, to quell any disturbance that
may occur. He is confident that Hayes has
been elected, and says the Government has
taken such steps as will insure the election
officers
AGAINST INTIMIDATION OR VIOLENCE,
and enable them to make declaration of
the result without interference from out
side parties. The officers of the National
Government cannot interfere with the du-
ties of election boards, nor will they permit
the interference of unauthorized persons.
The action of the President in the premis-
es has been taken to insure fair return,
and to furnish the people of the country
with satisfactory evidence that the verdict
of Tuesday, whatever it may be, when de-
clared, has been free from fraud.

REPORTS THAT TILDEN AND "Boes KELLEY
ARE ABogT TO BE MARRIED.
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-For some weeks
past there have been rumors to the effect
that in the event of his election to the
Presidency, Mr.. Tilden was to be married
to Miss Leila Morse daughter of the late
Prof. Morse, preparatory to furnishing
mistress for the White House. In the
event of his defeat it is rumored that the
couple would sail Immediately for Europe.
These reports assume more definite form,
and the engagement has been positively
asserted in social and political circles for
the last few days. The friends OF the lady
do not credit the story, and no positive au-
thority for the announcement can be OBJ
tanned from any of Gov. Tilden's friends
Mr.. Tilden has been for many years an inti-
mate acquaintance of the family. Miss
Morse is young lady, "a years of age, Of
stately figure and much beauty Of counte-
nance. She is rarely accomplished as q
mother sail for Europe on Wednesday next,
with the intention of remaining abroad for
Lree years or more. This latter fact is &C
cepted as denial of the reputed engage
ment.
The marriage of John Kelly to Miss Their
son Mullin, the niece of Cardinal McClos-
KEY, is to be celebrated in this city, and moi
in Washington. The rumor that the cere-
mony was to be performed in Washing
ton arose from the fact that Miss Mullins
married sister, Mrs. Cleary, resides in tha
city. Miss Mullin is about 80 years OF age
| During the illness of the Cardinal she anc
her sister, Miss Mary Mullin, were very at
tentiVe in nursing him.

Why Republicans should Set II
Right.

The New York Nation thus re-
spends to the criticism drawn out
by its proposition that a Hayes
elector should vote for Tilden:
"The suggestion that somebody
in the Electoral College should so
cast his vote as to throw the cleo
ton into the House, and thus de-
liver the country from the mischief
of a disputed election, although
this would probably result in Mr..
Til lens election, and our questions
addressed 20 Mr.. Hayes with re-
gard to his acceptance of the Pres
idency from the Louisiana Return
ing Board, have drawn out in some
quarters in inquiry why, in the
present crisis, the Republicans only
should be called on to make the
necessary sacrifices. We know
how much the party has done with
in the last ten years to blunt the
moral sense Of the community, and
yet, we confess, this surprises US.
The reason why Republicans are
asked to set matters right is because
Republicans hold the civil service,
and the army and navy, and the
revenue, and have used them oil
freely for partisan purposes in the
late canvass; because every one OF
the government officials from the
President down has taken part in
the campaign as bitter partisan,
and, in some cases, as in those OF
the Secretary of the Interior. and
the Acknowledgement, with great
indecency /; because all the return.
ing boards in the doubtful State,
are controlled by Republicans, and
in some cases, contain candidates
for office. and because if there be Q
! judicial fraud or chicane committed
in examining the votes in thos,
States it has been committed by
Republicans.

TheCase Of Oregon.
From tho Springfield Republican, Dec. ,

From tho Springfield Republican, Dec. g.
We do not think Tilden is any
more entitled to the ELECTORAL vote
he has got in Oregon than Hayes
is to those given to him in Louisi-
ana. Whatever may be said for
either on legal or technical grounds
of justice or morals. But, techni-
cally. we do not see why the Ore
gon Tilden vote is not as strong as
the Louisiana Hayes votes.
The facts are these: The State
gave a majority Of about 1900 for
Hayes. One of the three Hayes
electors was postmaster at the time
Of his election, and so ineligible ;
and the governor who Is q Demo-
crat, and how the law directs "shall
grant certificate to the person
having the highest number Of votes"
held that by his ineligibility, the
votes for him we're null, and so gave
the third electors's place to the
fourth or Democratic candidate
having the highest number Of votes.
There is abundant legal authority
and precedent for this decision,
both American and English, as
there is abundant legal authority
and precedent for the different de-
cisioh Of the Vermont State Off
cials is a precisely similar case
The certificate to three electors,
two Hayes men and one Tilden man,
was issued blythe Governor jointly,
as the law requires, and the Tilden
elector took It. The Hayes electors
tried to get II away from him, snd

ideas as these into his head, and
they openly boast that they have
now got him on the tack they
want. When it IL remembered
that the President based his sup
port of the Kellogg government in
Louisiana on the plsa that the
decision Of Judge Durell, "ths mid
night ORDER" so called, was the &C
ton Of a State court against which
even IL IL were wrong, as 1t was
acknowledged to be, he could not
proceed. 1t will be seen that his
present determination to override
the Supreme Court in South Caro-
lima is entirely Inconsistent; but
he has been persuaded by Secretary
Cameron, and the Senators who
surround him, that on the whole II
would DO a bad thing TO allow Mr..
Tilden TO become President, and
the peculiar turn of his mind leads
him in such matters TO pay no at
tention 10 consistency. He goes
straight at his object, and now that
hi. mind has been inflamed and his
temper irritated by skilful manipu-
lation, he does not hesitate at the
mere obstacle Of a court Of justice.
1t is frequently remarked here by
moderate Republicans that the
Presidents total ignorance Of the
law, and his contempt for legal pro-
ceedings and obstacles, complicate
the present difficulties very seri-
ously. 1t expose. him to the in
fiuence of reckless advisers, who
DO not fear that any scruples will
work against the ideas they insinu-
ate into his mind. In his present
temper he does not see that he is
being used by men who do not care
pin for his reputation, or future,
but who see in him q powerful tool
which they mean TO apply to fur
Their their own aims. casting it away
when il has done their work.

Mr.. Tilden's manner is that OF a

of Mr.. Tilden's sister, and Pehon's

DO the honors of the White House.
