Th, Situation u ts, three Contested
States

BY latest ord full returns the
vote as polle(tin Louisiana. Flori-
da and South Cafoliua, is in brief
about as follows:
LII South Carolina Gen. llamp-
toms majority is over 400; but
the Democratic electors run so far
behind, that the result Is uncertain
os to them. Louisiana has gone
about 5000 Democratic. Florida
gives a Democratic majority Of
about 1000.
How il will be when the return
inv foards get through, 10 the
question. Florida appears to be
our best chance for defeating the
plans Of the Radical conspirators,
as we have elscwheae indicated
them.

turb the public peace The propo-
sition TO place the counting OF the
vote under the supervision OF hon
orable men OF both parties from a
distance, meets the cordial eercar-
renee of the entire community.
The sending of troops here is re-
garded as promise and guarantee
Of support and immunity TO the
Returning Board in the action il is
expected to take. Wells and An
derson are the principals Of the
Returning Board-two colored
persons, one of them without eda-
cation, being with them. They are
the same persons whose fraudulent
returns ia 1874 occasionei the in
vasion Of the Legislature by Geae-
raj Sheridan, and were set aside
by the congressional committee OF
which William A. Wheeler was a
member, after Sheridan had ex-
PEELED certain members Of the Lou
Iisiana Legislature. Wells was re-
warlcd by being made surveyor OF
the port Of New Orleans, aud An
Iderson had member of his family
lappointed to the military or naval
academy.
Kellogg and Packard are nniver-
sally believed TO be concerned in
the corrupt and fraudulent mid
night order of Durell. aud the sell
cure Of thecapitol in 1872, and also
concerned in the Invasion Of the
capitol in 1874. Kellogg, Packard,
Wells and Anderson stand con-
dcmncd as infamous, and nothing
but mistrust and discredit is at.
tached to what they say or do, and
what they touch they contaminase.
These men have been encouraged
| and maintained in course Of con-
duet contrary to the constitution
and The laws, and dangerous to the
liberties of the people. The order
to the army to concentrate in Now
Orleans is q stage towards tho
oycrturn OF constitutional liberty
and the establishment of u military
despotism. II this policy succeeds
no Presidential election hereafter
will be made except under the di-
rections of the army.

The Alabama Journal publishes the vote
of the state by counties for the years 1872,
1874 and 1876. 1t is worthy of attention be-
cause it shows constant and marked de-
crease in the Republican vote, with no cor
responding gain on the Democratic side.
The vote of the Republicans has fallen off
$4,000 since 1874, while the Democratic vote
has decreased 5000, and on comparison with
the vote of 1872 the Republicans have lost
1000, while the Democratic vote has in
creased but 1900. Choctaw county which
in 1862 cast GA Republican votes, at the
recent election has not a single Republican
vote recorded. Barbour county in 1872 gave
2,762 votes, and in 1876 gives only III, and
SO the record runs throughout the state.
The candid man cannot read the figures
without being convinced that the Democratic
majority in Alabama was obtained by syste-
matte intimidation.
