The Bulldozers at Work-The Radical
Canvassers Refuse TO Obey the
Order of the Supreme
Court,
The Recount to be Made Without Them
A Republican View Of the Pos
sible Result of the Re-
Count.

TALLAHASSEE, December 27.-The notice
from the secretary of state to the other men,
bers of the canvassing board to meet this
morning to recanyass the returns was with
drawn to-day. Messrs. NJ Lin and Cowgirl
refuse to obey the order of the court, and will
file a motion to vacate the rule and set aside
the mandamus. Attorney General Cooke
will obey the mandate of the court, By max
ing the canvass himself and fling the same
in the clerk Office, as directed by the court.
Attorney General Williams arrived this
morning.
WAsaiNGToN. December 27.-Advices re-
ceiyed to-day by the National Republican
committee from their counsel and other
prominent northern Republicans now in Elori-
da, are to the effect that the recanvass order
ed by the State supreme court applies only to
the votes for governor, etc, and does not re-
fer to the votes for Presidential electors.
These advices also say that the court order
is in the recent counting of the aforesaid
votes, The question whether a county Is so
irregular. false or fraudulent that the true
vote cannot be determined must be decided
by the board, not on lie proof shown therein,
but by merely inspecting the face Of the re-
turns. 1t is conceded that t tii1 s,pfalcaul0r u
these principles to the votes for State officers
will give them to the Democratic
candidates by two or three hundred
majority, but the Republicans say it
is evident that if it were possible to
recanvass the electoral tote the ti1aiorities
for the Hayes and Wheeler electors would be
at least from SO to 43 respectively. Accord :
ing to the official certificate of the clerk of the
board, published and dated November 28th,
which stated that the returns were that day
opened by the State Canvassers, and that the
votes for electors, as officially announced
from the face of the returns In detail, aggre-
gated for Thomas H. Long, the lowest Re-
publican elector, 4,323. and for Wilkinson
Call, the highest Democratic elector, 24.285
The Republican counsel at Tallahassee also
informs the committee that, if the board were
to revise their findings as to the regularity of
each return on its face, they would, under
this order of the ceurt; he obliged to reject
the returns from several counties, and there
by increase Hayes and Wheeler's majority to
between two and three hundred.

LOUISIANA,
Testimony BEFORE the House and Sen

TO Release a FeIIOw-BuIl-
dOzer.

New ORLEANS. December 27.-Samuel D.
| NJ Emery was recalled before the senate COM
mittee, his examination taking up the day S
session. The principal points elected were
that he had never instructed anybody to tell
James r. Hall that they must form rife clubs,
and that the organization of rife clubs was
for the purpose Of protecting colored Demo-
Gratis and preserving the peace. He believed
they were essential for the latter purpose, and
gave two instances where negro riots were
averted by the prompt acton of the whites.
He said that neither Fred Bynum no; Joseph
Jackson were killed because of political afil-
iation. The witness also testified to the good
character Of George Phillips and numerous
others mentioned by Cora Williams in her
testimony.
He was subjected to severe cross-exami-
nation by Chairman Howe, but maintained
that the Democrats had constantly urged on
the men of their party the Importance of a
peaceable election, and every act of theirs had
this in view. He stated that he had been a
member of the Knights of White Camelia,
which was a secret and oath bound society.
Without concluding the examination, COM
mittee adjourned until half-past seven o clock.

The Feeling for TiIden i'm New York

We are permitted to copy the followingex-
tract from letter by New York merchant
to one Of our leading business houses:
New YORK, December 23.-I was sur
prised on MY return to witness the strong
manifestations in favor of Tilden, far more
than imagined Republicans whom know
declare they believe Tilden elected. The
frauds of Florida have been exposed by Cen
eral Barlow. who is looked upon as an honest,
upright man. OF course, the ofice-holders
denounce him. These men may yet make
trouble, but the feeling of the masses is grow
ing against them, and if they wake it, it may
tall on their own heads, and they should
tremble at the least disturbance, as there are
thousands here out of employment who actu-
ally care for neither side and their only aim
would be personal benefit. However, let us
hope for the best. The country and its ma
terial interests are all right, and with conf
dence restored we may look forward to gem
eral prosperity.

1naav Christmas week. It is a little story.
Rstone laden with many volumes Of meaning.
Il tells of the sore and pressing need of fifty
orphan children, without permanent support,
on the verge Of want, with an unsatisfed
claim shadowing the home supplied them by
kindly, thoughtful and svmpath;nng souls
More could not well be compressed in so little

IN a time o. pressing need, praying for a
share in the iog and happiness Of the season

may be amply supplied by a light and unfelt
tax upon the pockets of our people. For this
relief, the gentlemen whose names are ap-
pended 70 the above card viii call to-day upon
their fellow citizens, and we hope Will not call
IN vain. No ordinary emergency in the life
of our foremost and now most necessitous
charity calls them from their couI ting-rooms.
They are gentlemen well known to the COM
munity, all being eminent in commerce
and trade, and long identified with
our local charities, churches and
public affairs. They are not used to failure
In anything they undertake, and will not, we
hope, be allowed TO fail in this noble and
latest work 10 which they have dedicated
themselves. Every citizen should prepare for
their coming. Il ought not to be necessary
for them to say a word as to their mission
Their presence n home or Office should be
sufficient to call out an unstiated, generous,
full-handed donation, rendered with a sense
of pride in their labor, and the weight of OBJ
hgatlon resting upon Us all to support and
sustain the Leaih orphan asylum.

It would be interesting to know where
the owners of the other names were and
are. There were about nine thousand
suspected persons, 1910 succeeded in es-
tablishing their innocence. What be-
came Of the seven or eight thousand
myths whom no process could unearth !?
Perhaps the Picayune and Major Burke
either don't know or don't like to guess.
We certainly know nothing further about
them than their names were stricken from
the registration lists, and no man appeared
to enter complaint before the supervisor.
Neither did reporters upon dead mems
tickets do thriving business on election
day. And that is the way the ''cause of
reform" lost several thousand votes in one
parish of this State. It was too bad,
after spending so much time and money
to secure other peoples registration pa
pers that the reform party was not per-
mitted to make use of them. Another
Radical outrage!

A. We are about to be visited by num-
Der Of Northern Demoernk who h6 from
localities where they are obliged st least
to talk Of law, it becomes our duty to re-
write small chapter upon the enormities
which have been practiced in this State
in the interests Of the Democrats party.
We can show that BY the employment of
means Of intimidation in the country, such
as showing of armed mounted men, the
parading of gangs of local guerrillas and
hostile forces, illustrated by frequent
murders, whippings and house burning,
the votes Of Thousands Of people have
been actually captured and turned against
themselves.
The South has at no time been entirely
free from civil war, in spirit and in facs,
since the election of President Lincoln.
The smoldering fires Of rebellion have
been kept banked up, ready to burst forth
at a moments notice everywhere, while
the officers have protested their unquali-
fed submission. The North has been
lulled into false security by this out
ward show of acquiesence, while most
vindictive, fierce and persistent guerrilla
war has been kept up. At least five great
parishes of this State have been for sew
eral months previous and up to the very
moment of election, in state Of war,
with hostile camps, rowing patrols Of
free companies, acknowledging no law
except their own will and the direc-
tons of the Democratic State Com
mittee. The unarmed negroes of
East and West Feliciana, East Baton
Rouge, Morehouse and Ouachita Parishes
are virtually prisoners of war, and as
completely under the control Of the DEM
ocratic guerrillas as the prisoners of An
dersonville and Salisbury were at the
mercy Of the inhuman wretches who were
placed as guard over them. The re-
suits of the war have been apparently
successful to the Democratic arms The
fruits which have been brought in and
laid at the feet Of the Democratic Com
mittse foot up great gains which are
claimed in the late election.
Counting the lost Republican MAORI
ties and adding them to the reputed DEM
ocratic msjorities, we find the total to be
between 5000 and 5000, as follows:

SUSPENSION OF THE BULLETIN.

SUSPENSION OF THE BULLETIN.
The New Orleans Bulletin, one of the
ablest Conservative journals in the State,
has been suspended for want of support.
It was altogether too decent and reason
able newspaper for the Louisiana De-
mocracy, and they resented its fairness
and truthfulness by Withdrawing their
support from it, and investing their CAPT.
tai and spare change in sheets which
would scarcely be admitted into the
houses of constituencies not stepped in
political bigotry and venom. It is no
compliment to New Orleans to permit q
paper like the Bulletin to wither away and
die while they hug to their bosoms the
other daily vehicles of poisonous excite
ment and absurd sensations. Chacun a
son govt, We suppose; there is probably
q fearful distance between our Democratic
politicians and statesmanlike literature.
If there should happen to be a great
change for the better before the next CEN
tennial, then a paper like the Bulletin
will be established, and it will make
money. It was, as the REPUBLICAN, is, many
years in advance of the public opinion
it had to depend upon for support. It is
true there was no such outspoken hostility
in the rival Democratic organs as they
frequently indulge in toward the REPuB-
L1cAN; but they quietly gave the hint that
it was not at all orthodox, and their mas
tiers chilled it to death with cold indif-
ference. 1t is, in politics, sort of bar
fel-house taste for chain lightning litera-
ture. which leads men to run eagerly,
nickel in hand, for the displayed lies by
which this community has been deluded.
misled, infamed and very often driven to
madness.

The Picayune and Major Burke have
discovered that out of about eight thou

registration, only about 1856 came for

came forward voluntarily was released
