= TALLAHASSEE, December 2.- The
State Canvassers In obedience to tho or.
der OF the Supreme Court met to-day and
recanvassed the returns. Tho report Of
the result will be presented to the court
tomorrow accompanied by protest Of
msjority Of the Baard, in which they
declare that their frst canvass stands
as q true and proper canvass of the re.
turns. The position Of the Republican Is
that obedience to law is the FIRST duty Of
citizen, and while denying the iurisdic.
tion Of the court-theys yet-refuse to put
themselves in the attitude Of revelation
lists, preferring 10 submit 10 q temporary
defeat and injustice rather than be par
ties TO plugging the State into anarchy
and converting it into 4 field Of bloody
strife.
On reassembling OF the Board to-day,
Attorney Gen. Cooke, offered the follow
iny resolution, the object Of which was 4
once struck by Comptroller Cowgirl and
exposed by his amendment. Mr.. Cooke
said
Imove that, in obedience to the order
OF the Supreme Court, the Board Of State
Canvassers proceed 10 canvass the re-
turns from each county according to the
face OF such returns, and that the same
principle be applied to returns for mem-
bers OF Congress and the Legislature as
adopted in relation 10 the returns for
Governor and Lieutenant Governor.
Mr.. Cowgirl moved an amendment by
adding the following words to the first
clause: Unless such returns shows It's.
falsity upon its face. The resolution
passed as thus amended unanimously.
The Democrats in Tilden's interest are
detected over the result as to the Presi-
DENTAL electors. They expected by the
means Of Cookies resolution to carry Til
den victoriously through under the pro-
lection ,of tho Courts order. They are
10 content themselves with the
lesser speils OF this Judicial raid.
