LoUIsIANA.-At New Orleans, on Tues
day last, the gentlemen representing
the conservative sentiment OF the coun-
try ex Senator Hamilton, of Maryland,
advocated in the strongest terms that
the committee to remain there during
the canvass of the vote by the return
ing board should have in it no gentle

in order that there should be no oppor-
tuuity for adverse criticism of its per-

of those present. The committee will
be composed thereupon Of gentlemen
entirely from the North and West,

The Presidential election is not yet
definitely settled, the decision depend
ing rpon the three States OF South
Carolina, Louisiana aud Florida, which
both parties claim. Mr. Tilden has
1874 Electoral votes, or one less than
majority, while Gov. Hayes has l66
Electoral or uiueteen less than MAORI
". Ii therefore Tilden carries any one
of the three disputed States, he will be
elected, while Gov. Hayes must carry
all Of them to give him the requisite
majority of lS5.
The excitement throughout the coun-
try has been intense, and as both par
ties charge fraud upon each other, a
number of prominent men, represent
ing each side, have gone to those States
TO witness the counting of the votes in
each. Therefore it will require several
DAYS until we can learn the exact result,
although we have not the least doubt
but that all three of the disputed have
gone in favor of Tilden. y table OF
the electoral vote will be found in anoth-
er column.

A WHEAT REAPER AND BINDER Cow

A WHEAT REAPER AND BINDER Con-
BlNED.-There was no agricultural i'm
pement at the State Fair at Richmond
which attracted half the attention be-
slowed on Mccormick improved Rea-
per and Binder This machine, it is
said, will be in the market next year in
time for harvest, and will doubtless have
an extensive sale. 1t will reap from ten
to twelve acres per day, and will bind
and drop the bundles as fast as the grain
is cut. 1t is operated by one man.
Just think of it, farmers of w. Va, that
one man and two horses can in one day
with this invention reap and bind twelve
acres of your crop. The machine on
exhibition was made especially for the
Richmond Fair, and was thoroughly in
spected by nearly every agricuturalist
on the ground. Its operation is appar
emily simple, and certainly very inter
esting. One of its chief beauties is the
tightness with which the bundles are
bound. Thin wire is used for that pur-
pose, and the operation is somewhat
similar to the working of sewing ma
chine.

EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.-A pardon
was granted by Governor Jacob today,
which terminates a case worthy OF spe-
cial mention. Sometime since, Michael
Gilmor, who keeps saloon in Pied
mont, was applied TO by a young man
who wanted little something for his
stomach's sake, and was willing to com
promise on straight whiskey. Michael
took his measure and coming to the
conclusion that he was minor, and not
entitled to adult beverages, declined to
let him have it.
Whereupon the young man called up
a lot of friends who swore he was over
twenty-one years of age, and by way
of further proof showed that he was
employed by the d. 81 O. r. r. Compa-
ny which employs no minors knowing
". This satisfied Michael and he let
the young man have the ardent, which
was Immediately placed where II would
DO the most or the least good.
Shortly afterward Gilmor was indict-
ed, and, although all the foregoing
facts were shown OH his trial, was con-
yicted in the Circuit Court of Mineral
county, and sentenced to fine and i'm
prisonment. The case was carried up
on appeal, aud the Supreme Court,
at its recent session in Charleston affirm
ed the Judgment of the Court below.
To-day on petition of Hon. w. Z.
Clayton, and others, of Piedmont, set
ting forth the facts in the case, the Gov
ernor issued pardon, which being pre-
sented when the recognizance OF the
defendeDt is called in, will relieve him
from further trouble, but his hazardous
escape will probably necessitate the pro-
duction of certified copies Of the family

The New York Herald on Gov
Chamberlain.

In reply to dispatch from Ne"
York Herald for something definite IN
regard to the result in South Carolina
Gov. Chamberlain sent dispatch which
it describes as strangely vague. Inc
Herald adds:
The most striking point in his dis
patch, however, is the evident deter
mination to throw out sufficient votes
to give the republicans majority. Gov.
Chamberlain acts precisely as if the
votes cast were to be but small factor
in the determination eff the result. The
means taken by the democrats to pro-
claim the actual state of the polls at
their closing have forced the game of
Gov. Chamberlain, and desperate
game it is. He has clearly announced
the startling fact that board composed
in the majority of officers seeking re-
election to their present posts shall pass
upon the validity of the returns and
throw out districts at will; nay, that
enough will be thrown out to settle the
result. After all the parade OF troops
to protect the co!ored citizens, after
all the republican iubilation that now
every one could cast his vote in peace,
after an election without riot or disturb
ance of any kind, we are treated to
glimpse of fabricated charges of whole
sale intimidation, sort Of sickening
post-mortem and inquest on the bloody
shirt If the troops had not been pour
ed into the State; if the murders and as
saints and browbeating Of the colo:ed
democrats had not been notorious; If
the United States marshals had not had
the whole State in their hands f
weeks before the election, arr
white men right and left, the C, ,.y
for all its suspicion Of the rascals who
have ruled in the South until it is i'm
poverished and almost bankrupt, have
lent an ear to Gov. Chamberlains ghost
stories. They will not be listened to
now. The troops are already in the
State, and there is no danger 0: any
disturbance, but we earnestly entreat
the republicans who are above winning
by fraud to join hands with the demo.
Gratis, who only ask an honest count of
an honest vote, to send representative
men to be present at the canvass by
this suspiciously composed board.

An Address from Gen. Hampton.

Gen. Wade Hampton on Saturday
last issued the following address to
the people of South Carolina:
SIN offering to our people my heart
felt congratulations and gratitude for
the grand victory they have won, ven
ture to beg them to prove themselves
worthy of it by a continued observance
Of good order and the rigid preservation
of peace. Let us show that we seek
only the restoration of good govern
ment, the return OF prosperity and the
establishment of harmony to the whole
people Of our State. In the hour of vic
tory we should be magnanmous, and
we should strive to forget the animosities
of the contest by recalling the grand re-
suits of our success; prescribing none
for differences OF opinion; regarding none
as our enemies save such as are inimical
to,he law and order. Let US all unite in
the patriotic work of redeeming the
State. BY such conduct we can not
only bring about good feeling among
all classes, but can most surely reap the
best fruits of victory.

How the Case Stands.

The New York Sun, after describing
the condition of affairs in the three dis
puted States, and claiming that they
have all voted for Tiden, says:
of following the lead of men like Chan
der and Jay Gould, themselves objects
of distrust ard of suspicion all over the
country. the republican party should now
force the declaration that Hayes is
elected, and should endeavor to hold
and carry on the government of the
country on that declaration, what would
be the verdict of the world upon it :?
That verdict, we think, would be that
this once great party, having begun its
career as the champion Of freedom and
the destroyer of negro slavery, had sunk
through the depraving influence of The
long possession OF power, and had final
ly completed its history by bringing
the whole people into far baser kind
of slavery by installing President
whom the people had not chosen. Can
the republican party afford this!"
