from Florida is that enough of tie re-

a Dispatch of the 18th says: 1t has
been an anxious day in Washington
Members of the Cabinet have been in
session or individual conference during
much of the day. They had dispatches
from leading civil aud military officers
IN the three close Southern States. IN
important item OF news is that in South
Carolina, connt es along the Georgia
border aud in what is called the uphill
country there have been several des-
perate attempts to seize the ballot boxes
and destroy them. There is informa-
ton that several ballot-boxes have been
broken up in Florida, and that couTiers
have been interferad with, but it is
thought great majority of returns are
in safe hands aud carefully guarded.
There are intimations OF a purpose to
use money with the caNassing board IN
the interest of the Democrats both III
Florida and Louisiana.
Another telegram 10 the New York
Times, of the same date from Peters
burg, Va, says, I 700 Republican votes
were thrown ont III the Fourth Con-
gressional district. This was done iii
open and gross violation of State law
hy election officers appointed by Demo-
cratic Judges. Unusual care was taken
to draw their attention to special law
providing for such cases, but indefance
OF it, particularly in NoltaWa.
Advices have been received of for
midable efforts in several quarters 10
prevent returns reaching central stations
and in South Carolina of a movement
to take possession and prevent the count
in case the Republicans do succeed in
getting the returns all in.
Several important orders have been
issued by the President, all look
ing TO the protection of hallot-boxes
and those having them in charge, until
a full and fair count shall have been
completed. These orders are as explicit
as il is possible to make them, to the.
end That ! fair count ct all legal votes
