The Political Situation.

The decision of the Supreme Court,
it is claimed by Democratic leaders in
Washington. has settled the presiden-
tial question in favor of Tilden. The
returns of Florida on their face, as the
board Of canvassers is required to
count them, give Tilden 24,434 and
Hayes "a $40. Under the orders of the
court, the board will also be obliged to
count % additional majority for Tilden
in Clay and 25 in Hamilton county,
which, added to his majority of "a, will
make 142 in the State. The decision
elects the Democratic State ticket by
$50, and Davidson, Democrat, to Con.
gress by about the same majority. Cow.
gill, one of the canvassers, says he will
obey whatever the court decides.
