Session of the State Board.
A single step forward in the determina-
ton ofthe Presidential problem was made
yesterday. A provisional order by the
South Carolina Supreme Court directed
the State Returning Board to proceed
with the aggregation of the returns for
the information of the Court, and that
body proceeded, in the presence of COM
mittees of both parties, to execute that
duty. This action ofthe South Carolina
Court seems to have been enormously re-
ported at New Orleans, where it was UNI
derstood as confining the State Board to
the simply ministerial duty of counting
the votes returned, with no power to ad
judicate upon their legality, and as vir-
tually giving the State to Mr.. Tilden
Great excitement wasproduced. To this
was added the effect of discovery that
many defective republican electoral,ballots
were polled, having only the names OF
three electors, instead of eight. A spirit
ed replication was issued by the demo-
cratic visitors to the answer Of the repub-
licans. In Florida the Democratic State
Committee have asked the State Can
vassers to fix an early day for the canvass;
but as many country returns are still
lacking no day has been named, and the
count may possibly be delayed till the
first week in December.
THE VOTE IN FLORIDA.
Mr.. J. j. Daniel, chairman Of the
Democratic Executive Committee of the
second district of Florida, telegraphs the
the vote of that State by counties with
the exception of Brevard, which is Demo-
cratic and casts less than one hundred
votes. The Democratic majority, with
out Brevard, is 1,03S. Mr.. Daniel says
this insures the election of the State and
national tickets, democratic congressman
from both districts, and democratic ma
ljority in both houses Of the Legislature.
Chairman Pasco, of the Florida democrat
ic State committee, has returned to head
lquarters at Tallahassee; he says carefully
canvassed the facts in the points OF the
contest, and is not only sure that the Til
den maiorities in the State can be sustain
ed, but that at least two republican coun-
tiles must be thrown out. He reports the
situation as much better than he expec-
ted, the majority being not only decisive
but sguarely unassaIlable.

The following was issued last Monday

The following was issued last Monday:
By the President of the United States Of
America-A PIoclamatiOn.-The centennial
anniversary of the day on which the people
Of the United States declared their right to
q separate and equal station among the
powers OF the earth seems to demand an
exceptional observance.
The founders Of the government at it's
birth and in its feebleness invoked the
blessings and the protection of q Divine
Providence, and the thirteen colonies and
10000 Of people have expanded into q
nation of strength and numbers, command
ing position which then was asserted and
for which fervent prayers we're then offered.
1t seems fitting that on the occurrence Of
the nunGredth anniversary Of our existence
as nation, q grateful acknowledgment be
made to Almighty God for the protection
and bounties which He has vOuchsafed to
our beloved country.
therefore invite the good people of the
United States, on the approaching fourth
day of July, IN addition to the usual OBJ
servance with which they are accustomed
to greet the retarn of the day. further, in
such manner and at such time as in their
respective localities and religious associa-
tions may be most convenient, to mark it's
recurrence by some public religious and
devOut thanksgiving to the Almighty God
for the blessings which have been bestowed
on us as nation during the centenary Of
our existence, and humbly to invoke con-
tinuance OF HIS favor and of His protection.
In witness whereof have hereunto set
my hand, and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed. Done at the city of
Washington this twenty sixth day of June,
in the year of our Lord 1876, and of the in
dependence of the United States of America
the one hundredth.
