BRIEF STATEMENT OF THE sITUATIoN-THE
DEMOCRATS ABANDON SOUTH CAROLINA
LOUISIANA THE STATE MOST CONTESTED.
The Presidential result in South Carolina
is pretty conclusively shown by the follow
ing dispatch to the Associated Press. These
dispatches, it must be remembered, have
persistently claimed the State for Tilden
CHARLESTON, November 12-1O p. M.-The
latest corrected returns give the Democratic
state ticket 1,sls majority: The Tllden cleo
712 behind the State ticket.
BY this showing it will be seen, even ad-
mitting Hampton elected, a majority can
not be figured out for Tilden.
FLORIDA.
A special from Tallahassee, dated last
night, to the New York Times, says Twen-
ty-fve counties have been heard FROM and
from the most reliable source, l find that
they give a net Republican majority of
1890. At the last Gubernatorial election,
in 1872, the same counties gave net Re-
publican majority of 3,687, and the Re-
pubicans carried the State by majority of
l, 500. At the Congressional election held
in 1874, the same counties gave the Repub-
licans majority of 5,901. The fourteen
counties which are yet to hes,r from in 1872
gave Democratic majority of $3.50, and in
1874 a Democratic majority Of 1852. This
year the Republicans got out their full vote
in these counties, and it is confidently be-
lieved that the Democratic majority was
largely reduced. 1t was not possible to in
crease it by any honest means; consequent
ly if the votes actually cast are fairly
counted, the Republican majority will be
from 1,200 to 2,000 1t cannot fall below
1000 votes.
The Philadelphia Press gives private
telegram, sent to Hon. b Fl. Brewster, of
that city, by judge of the Supreme Court
of Florida, a Democrat, and well-informed
prudent man. 1t is as follows
TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Nov. IL.
Hayes has the State by small majority.

LOUISIANA.
Public attention seems likely to concen-
trate on this State. 1t is the opinion Of
the New York Tribune that this will be the
case. The following is special despatch
to that newspaper
WAsHIEaToN, Nov. 12.-The latest ad-
vices from Louisiana indicate, as one MEM
ber of the Cabinet says tonight, that Hayes
has very handsome majority if the vote
is honestly counted II is also believed
that Hayes and the Republican State ticket
have a small majority, allowing the Demo-
Gratis all they claim. 1t is the duty of the
parish supervisors, however, to send to the
Returning Board reports of any fraud, in
timidation or violence in their Jurisdiction.
The law requires the Returning Board to
examine these reports In connection with
the ballots of these parishes, and to take
evidence and il the charges are sustained
the law is mandatory that the Returning
| Board shall reject the vote Of such parishes.
II the Northern Democrats should insist
that the returns from parishes in which
fraud or intimidation is charged shall be
\ counted. they will insist that the Returning
ABoard violate the State 10 vu' Louisiana
