The Board of Canvassers of South Car

The Board of Canvassers of South Car
DINA, canvassed the vote, declared the Re
publican candidates elected. They threw
out the votes of Edgefeld and Laurens
counties, where murders, whipping and gen.
eral intimidation was the order of the day.
The Democrats protested, and got an in
junction from the Supreme Court against
throwing them out, but the Board having
remained in session its allotted time-ten
days-adjourned without paying any at
tention to the injunction. This put the
Court on its ear, and it ordered the board
arrested and committed to Jail, but it is
hoped the matter will be adjusted without
difficulty. In speaking Of this matter the
Chicago Tribune says: "Inits determination
to risk conflict with the authority of the
Supreme Court, the State Canvassing
Board undoubtedly acted under the high
est legal advice. Ii is alleged that they
could lawfully be in session only ten days,
and that they remained in session until
the end of their time, and then adjourned
because they were Jitnctus o6icio. They
can hardly be in contempt Of court for ad-
journing sine die when they had no right
to remain longer in session. The returns
for President seemed to give Hayes ma
iority, without any reference to the alleged
frauds in Edgefeld and Lawrens coun-
ties. AS to who was elected Governor
and to other State offices, that is matter
entirely local, and the South Carolina peo-
pie are competent to fight it out for them
selves in their own way according to their
own laws, and there is no necessity up
North for borrowing any trouble on their
account. If Hampton has received a
mai ority of the votes he no doubt will be
inaugurated as Governor. If he has not,
he will not. There is probably a good
deal of truth in the allegation of the Can
wasting Board that in those two counties
there were monstrous frauds practiced. 1t
is alleged that one of them gives 1000
more Democratic votes than there are
voters in the whole county, and yet it was a
Republican county.
The weekly Oskaloosa herald. [volume] (Oskaloosa, Iowa) 1855-1885, 1876-11-30

The greater part of the trouble in
South Carolina between the board and
the Supreme Court, comes from that old
devil, Moses, who has done the Republi-
can party more harm than any other one
cause, in that State. He is personal
enemy of Gov. Chamberlain, and has
been ever since the latter refused to be
his tool for some corrupt purpose, and
now he seeks to make trouble by impris
oning the returning board, every member
of which marched up to the Jail and sur
rendered, and were then imprisoned. The
only contest over the election appears to
be between Chamberlain and Hampton.
the latter's personal organ acknowledging
that the Republicans have carried the
rest of the ticket, and that Hayes has the
State; so there is the present fight but a
local quarrel
The weekly Oskaloosa herald. [volume] (Oskaloosa, Iowa) 1855-1885, 1876-11-30

Iowa gives Hayes 59,22s. Good enough
for little fellow. Every individual Re:
publican who voted can hug TO his bosom
the fact that he helped make the above ma
jority, which makes Iowa the banner Re-
publican State, an honor that every Re-
publican ought to be proud of, and which
gives its solid Congressional delegation
much more influence at Washington, than
if the State had been carried by a beg
carly majority.
