COLUMBIA, Nov 90 1870
The proceedings in the supreme Court to-day were
unimportant No decided action taken, but there
were marked and unmistakabo indications OF the In
tention OF the Court to keep the Board OF
State Canvassers rigidy within the exercise OF
purely ministerial functions. Tho Court evidently
expected TO have report from the Board to the
sus IN the State ascerainsd from the returns OF
tho county canvassng boards, and intmation
given that this report should be forhcom-
ing tomorrow without fail. After discuss
ing An order presented by counsel for tho
democratic candidates. asking that the Board should
make comparison Of the returns Of the managers OF
precinct elections with the forwarded by the
boards of county canvasscrs which the Court, under
the circumstances. deemed unnecessary, It adjourned
The comparison made five counties by the Board
showed many bunders and ilseates In the returns
from the counties giving large republican msjories,
aganst which protests were entered py the democrats
that the latter satisfied that by thorough
investigation into the returns tho electoral result
as announced, will be vitiated, and the vote of the
State will be cast for Tilden. This they assert will
certainly give Tilden two electors, at least. The
tion Of the Court to-morrov is locke forward 10

THE MOST INTENSE INTEREST.
Speculation 10 rife tonight to what It will do.

the Board the strctest discharge Of its ministerial
functions allowing however the correction OF errors,
omissions and discrepancies between the returns ofthe

take cognizance and either throw out retain the
votes as at present counted II that box should be
thrown out the electoral would be changed

The republicans are apparently Respondent They
do not hope for much from the count IL there had
not been many OF their candidates on the Board OF
Canvassers toe prospect would have been brighter.
They 90 far as to conceds that IL Is
too much TO expect the Bourt to allow
the Board, under tho circumstances, to
exercise judicial functions That they admit would be
papabs and fragrant outrage. As the matter stands
shoir seems desperate. The face of the returns
gives the the State and nearly everything
they worked and fought nard for, and
" the Board ordered to go behind
the OF tho county canvassers tho situation
will probably be much In that event they
may lose tho electoral and the State officers
they now seem to be entitled to. Their pre-.
dicament is sadly unfortunate. but the leaders
arc sss:duously eDdeavoring to keep their spirits
with assurances that something will be done which
will make IL all right. Their greatest crumb OF
