The Democratic Mandamas of mn Ac.
count.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Specials from South
ern cities this morning contain but few facts
not covered by last nights dispatches.
A despatch from w. E. Chandler to the Tri-
bune, dated Tallahassee, says the submitting of
bill in equity before Circuit Judge White of
Leon county, to enjoin the Governor, is an I'M
dertaking of utter folly, as the law prescrihes
that such cases can only be decided by the Su-
preme Court.
Hearing ON the InJ JUNCTION TO be Had To-
day.
TALLAHASSEE, Nov. 22.-There ia perfect
quiet In political circles here. Everything is
suspended to await the contest before Judge
White tomorrow, when the injunction ag ,inst
the Governor will either be confirmed or with
drawn and the case of the mandamus against
the canvassing board compelling them to begin
work will be decided. The judge arrived to-
night and arguments will open, at IL o'clock to-
horJ Ixr hn oool.z
one day. 1t is impossible to discover what
course the counsel for the Governor will take,
but it is believed that he will deny the right of
the court to issue an injunction against him,
1t is said on the other hand that accepting the
jurisdiction of the court he will go into an
elaborate defence of his right to canvass the
electoral vote. The city is crowded with stran-
gers. Every train from the North brings new
corners. There will doubtless be an appeal
from Judge Whites decision no matter what it
is.

statement relative to the sale of arms to sou tn

street, said he had had good trade in shot
guns in the Southern states during the entire
fall, his customers being merchants and dealers
in hardware, whe had bought these weapons in
lots of kfrom half a dozen to a dozen in
nearly every bill or goods purchased.

thought it safe to say that from $4,000 to 30
600 stands of arms were shipped south fro m
this city during the three months previous to
the election, and large quantity of arms and
ammunition had also been distributed through
out the the South from Baltimore and other
