Tabulated Statements Of the Vote in Florida,
Louisiana and South Carolina.

The complexion of events has not sensibly
altered during the past twenty-four hours.
The States of Florida, Louisiana and South
Carolina, in doubt on Saturday, remain SO
to-day. The partisans still claim all three
for their respective sides. although either
side must be grasping a phantom. The
republicans hold on because the sur
render of any one State would be
the surrender of all they are fight
ing for the democrats keep their
grip, partly because the indications point
that way, but largely because their oppo-
nents take similar course. So far as the
additional detailed returns go they point,
rs before, to democratic success. Governor
Chamberlain, on the other side, has re-
duced the republican pretensions to victory
in South Carolina from 1000 for Hayes
and 5000 for himself to 5000 for
the former and 1000 for the latter, but
gives no details, declaring at the same time
that enough votes will be thrown out to
increase these figures indefinitely. Mr..
McEnery, of Louisiana, sends US detailed
statement of the vote by parishes, which
gives Tilden nearly 5000 majority. Mr..
Pinchback, who will be remembered as the
unsuccessful republican claimant to q
United States Senatorship, could not give
any figures because it was Sunday. From
Florida we have a republican claim for the
State by Mr. Martin, but without any de-
tails. Between these conflicting statements
lhere seems no road to q decision short of
the official count.
The tables showing the rival claims by
States majorities and electoral votes are
again presented, with tabulated showing of
the actual situation. In addition we present
such detailed statements of the vote in the
doubtful States by counties and parishes as
are furnished US from all sources.

The Republican canvass il interesting.
Blaine's demise makes the road easier for
certain candidates, and more embarrassing
for others. As the field now looks Conk-
ling leads, with the Galena horse gaining.
Blaine is distanced, and already limps of
the track. Mulligan's blow hsmstrung him.
Brist0w falls behind. The people do not
fancy Q sentimental, detective candidate.
But az the struggle between Conkling and
Washburne deepens the chances of the dark
horse seem to improve. So far as New
York is concerned the nominee will be
Conkling or nobody. This would throw
the candidate beyond the Alleghanies, and
after Washburne the strongest is Hayes.
The Western politicians arc better man
ayers than our New York men. They know
politics. With them it is business. They
are men Of convictions. They believe in
their section and stand by their candidates.
If Conkling should defeat Washburne the
chances are that Hayes will win.
So far as COnkling and Washburne are
concerned, either would make . good can
didate. and, if elected, . good President.
Conkling represents the courage, the disci-
pline and the sincerity of the party. Hia
nomination would be an uneQuiv0cal in
dorsement Of the administration-the tri-
umph of the regular army. The success Of
Washburne would be that of the reform
element, Of the disafected wings Of the
party. Of those who believe in Republican
principles and fear that they have been in
iured by the President making the admins.

The Superior District Court.

The appointment of General Hugh j.
Campbell to the vacancy in the Fourth Dis
trict Court has revived the speculations
about the probable fate of the bill to abolish
the Superior Court. The weight OF opinion
was in favor of the probability that the
bill would be signed. In case the bill be-
comes law the powers and duties now de-
volving upon the judge of the Superior
Court will be ditfused to the Third, Fourth.
Fifth and Sixth, the first named, however,
having no jurisdiction in any new cases.
As the dockets of our district courts are gen
orally pretty clear Of cases, perhaps the
three Judges could, among them, easily dis
pose of the new business which would be
sent to them by the proposed new law,
without overtaxing their energies. The
public convenience, therefore, is not likely
to be greatly affected one way or the other,
though, on the other hand but little saving
can be effected by abolishipg the court.

Several hours before the appointment of
General Campbell to the judgship of the
Fourth Dietrict Court was actually made
many persons declared that they knew that
the appointment had been made, yet the
Judge did not know it himself until after
three O'Clock last evening.
Rumor had it that the Governor had,
would, could or should sign the bill to
abolish the Superior District Court, but our
representative failed to find any real
foundation for the rumor. The Governor
had said that in . certain emergency he
would sign the bill, and State House fire.
quenters persisted in saying that the docu-
ment was prepared and would be promul-
gated Saturday morning.
The Governor made the following ap.
pointments:
Town council for Grande Coteau, parish
of St. Landry-H. s. Dunbar, E. n. Millard,
