THE SITUATION.

We 2.ean tne tol4o~ihS Aioan '"S
Eastern press as giving the best idea
now attainable of the situation IN South
Carolina, Louisiana and Florida:
The Times in its daily bnlletln says,
in the general situation there is nothing
bat what is cheering to Republicans
They may rest in perfect confidence that
Hayes is elected.
The Times Columbia special says it
is now said the Democratic managers
have arranged to obtain an injunction
from the Supreme Court to prevent the
board from acting except III purely |
ministerial capacity. From present ap-
pearances thus would give the electoral
vote to Hayes by 8 900, but would elect
Hampton by less than 500, and give
the Democrats the legislature aid
choice OF U. S. Senator i'll the place OF
Robertson. II the board is not re-
strained from hearing the contests of
Overwhelming evidence of fraud and
irregularities, it will be sufficient TO
instifv tile COZ fection of tho returns
from at least five counties which would
give the State TO the Repnbfca nv by
not less than 5000 majority, w til both
branches of the Legislature. The census
! Of 1875 shows that in Edgefeld county
there are :. .122 males, white and colored,
over q years of age. Hampton is re-
turned as having had 6,267 votes, and
Chamberlain 3, 103.
4 Times jacksonville dispatch says:
Counties and districts which usually cast
500 votes all told, are coming i'll giving
Tilden 600 majority when It is neces-
Sary for Tilden's election that he carry
the State. Democrats from Alabama
voted and raided at will, and when
they supposed! they had done enough,
they made up sucin returns as suited
their purpose. ard then destroyed the
ba lots, poll lists and everything else.

the vote of five parishes, and gives the

says: One feature of the contest her
which excites great deal of interest
the difference between the vote cast f.
Tilden and that for the Democratic cal
