There is, however, little likelihood OF such IN
arrangement being perfected.

upon have been received from any Ut the
counties ta night but all the scattering returls

pubcans have underestimate rather than
exaggerated their majority. Hamilton county,
as far as has been head from, IS the oaig one

canvass.
The eycitemrDt has greatly Increased here
duriug the past twenty -four hours. Neu. ku.
ger arrived this afternoon, and took command
of the troops. Prominent democrats are ronr
ing into the State FROM all parts OF the South,
and a uuEbor from the North are hourly ex-
pecte1. This lnoralng three New York dettc.
t7es arrived. OF course, both parties coDtnue
to claim the State, but rs the returns come 10,

LATER. ---D;spatchrs have u>t been received,
stating that the democrats have produced the
returns in Hamilton county, and that the coun-
ty board have c0mneGced to canvass them. 1t
will rest with the State board TO throw out The
returns, if fraud can be proved against either
party.

the county managers have refused to canvass
the vote This county is Hamilton, in which
the democratic majority is 29l. ! our cores
pondenl received i dispatch from Jacksonville
tonight announcing that the Hamilton county
| managers had refused to canvass. No one here
has any idea OF what the cause Of this action
is For the refusal O! managers to canvass the
vote the remedy is to apply to The Circuit
Judge tor q writ OF mandamus. The democratic
commissioners have sent lawyer to the scene
and lie will draw up the proper papers at once
and make this application. Ii the Judge re-

the officers elected by those returns, should not
take their seats. The State board OF canvas

The Tribunc's Washington special says dis.
cusson has arisen here in regard to the effect
of the death, resignation or disability Of any of
the Presidential electors 10 Florida and Louis.
lana 1t has been said that in these States no
provisions have been made by law for tlliog
such vacancies. The laws of each Of these
States do, however, provide that all vacancies
shall be filled by such electors as are present on
the day prescribed by law for casting the elcc-
toral votes OF the several States. The Legisla
lures cannot, therefore, provide for ming any
vacancies which may occur among electors.
a Worlds special from Columbia says Capt.
Corbin, With two companies has been ordered
to return to Aiken forthwith. The order came
FROM the President, based On an urgent appeal
from u. s. District Attorney Corbin. General

report from the managers Of election 10 every
precinct 10 the State, and was certain OF his

little concerning the Presidential result, but

publicans with heavy frauds.
