NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 30.--Special to the
N. Y. Herald).-Judge Dibble, counsel
for the Republicans, stated this morning
that the Republican count made Tilden
5000 ahead, and Nichols 2500, as far as
they had progressed.
The filing of the protest of the defeated
candidates of Orleans parish is supposed
to indicate an intention to throw out O
portion of that parish, as the country
parishes, after canvassing, do not entirely
effect the end aimed at.
THE TILDEN MAJORITY.
The count, as figured up according to
returns at the close of the session to-day,
gives the lowest Tilden elector $3.50 over
the highest Hayes. A statement will be
despatched tonight to this effect over
the signature of the Democratic commit
tee, who are in high spirits, and express
for the first time, confidence in the re-
suit. They say that 1t is impossible, un-
der the evidence produced, to count Til
den out; the majority is too large. The
Republicans are evidently in receipt OF
some depressing news, and exhibit signs
of it plainly.
ALLEGED DIRECTION IN THE BOARD.
1t is reported on good authority that a
detection has been discovered in the Re-
turning Board. One of its colored mem
bers, being property holder and an Ole
resident, is willing, If not anxious, that
Nichols should be counted in, but how
to do this, without counting in Tilden il
the problem to be met. There is quite 9
flutter among the Republicans tonight
who exhibit signs of anxiety. Otherwise
everything is quiet.

Biblical Lore for the Politicia ms.

From the Baltimore tfazette.
The Western Republican papers are
quoting the following portion of scripture
on the present situation with a great deal
of relish:
And Samuel arose and went unto Eli
and said, Here am |, for thou did'st call
me-" And he answered, "E called not,
my son; lie down again." So
Samuel went and lay down in his place,
This is from the third chapter of the
First Book of Samuel, and had the Re-
publican Editors searched the Scriptures
a little further they would have discov-
cred that the Lord called Samuel, and
they would have found that 'Samuel
grew and the Lord was with him, and
did let none of his words fall to the
ground. And from Dan even to Beer
sheba Samuel was established.

anticipated. The convicts appear salts
fed and contented. Their rations are
good and wholesome, while many of
them greatly prefer their situation to
living inside prison walls. This labor is
certainly efficient, and their conduct as a
general rule commendable. This is the
costliest work upon the road, and yet the
convict labor will reduce its expense
vastly.
Beyond the mountains, the line is un-
der contract to persons in Henderson and
Buncombe counties, North Carolina, who
receive county bonds in payment for
their work. 1t is evident from the pro-
gress already made that our friends will
succeed in getting their favorite project
completed to Asheville, and we cannot
fail to commend their energy, public
spirit and united determination. Their
perseverance under formidable difficult
ties ought to stimulate and encourage the
people of this section to make greater
efforts to secure the completion of the
Blue Ridge Railroad. Indomitable pluck
and spirit will achieve success, and our
neighbors have set us a good example.

their denomination and reelection.
Besides, upon the general principle that
Revolutions never go backwards" it is
hardly possible that the Democrats will
suffer any considerable loss in the House
of Representatives. In
THE SENATE,
the prospective gains of the Democrats
may be calculated with reasonable Ger
tainty, and in 1877 our party will assume
control of that body. The Senate now
stands forty-fve Republicans to twenty
eight Democrats, majority of seventeen
in favor of the former. On March 4, of
next year, the terms of twenty-six Sen
ators-seventeen Republicans andnine
Democrats-expire. States now sending
Democrats will certainly return Senators
of that party, thus keeping up the pres
ent number. The Democracy need a
gain of only seven more Senators to be in
the majority. Of these seven, five may
considered certain. Governor Coke has
already been elected to fill the place of
Hamilton, in Texas; Lamar will succeed
Alcorn in Mississippi; Clayton's success
or in Arkansas will be Democrat; as
also that of West, in Louisiana. In ad-
dition to these four Senators, we shall
gain another in Louisiana. 1t may thus
be seen that there is every probability
that the Democracy will have majority
in the Senate after March 4, 1877. The
Importance of this fact, should Repub-
lican President be elected, cannot be over
estimated. In the protection of the
country from the effects of ill-adyiscd and
partizan nominations, so strongly illus
trated during the administration of the
present incumbent, the benefit of an op-
position Senate will be incalculable; as
it will compel the Executive to use judg-
ment and discretion in the choice of pub
lie officials, and thus save the Govern
meDt thousands in money, and much in
reputation, at home and abroad. Some
of the doubtful States must give us two
more Senators to constitute majority;
and I think they will.

evening, Capt. F. w. Dawson, who re-
sponded in a graceful and eloquent
speech, which was received with vocifer-
GUS applause. Then followed wit and
sentiment from every member of the
Association, and a large number of the
guests were called upon to mingle their
eloquence with the editorial effusions of
the hour. Carter, of the Lancaster
Ledger, Hemphill, of the Abbeville Me-
dian, Farley, of the Spartan, and Far
row, of the Herald, made notable respon-
ses to complimentary illusions, while
Col. McKissick, of Union, Col. Evins
and Maj. Duncan, of Spartanburg, and
many others assisted to enliven the occa-
sion. The pleasure of the evening was
genuine and unalloyed, and we are great
ly indebted to our friends in Spartanburg
for the handsome entertainment, which
could not be excelled in the State. In-
deed, the members of the Association
received every kindness and hospitality,
during their brief sojourn in Spartanburg,
not only from the generous and whole
sonled editors and proprietors of the
Spartan and Herald, but from the citi-
zens generally of that thriving and active
town, whose welfare and development
will always be watched with kindly in
terest by the members of the Press AS
sociation who were so fortunate as to
participate in the annual meeting at
Spartanburg.
After the supper was over, brief
meeting of the Association took place,
when resolutions of thanks were adopted
for the generous hospitality extended to
the members by the newspapers and peo-
pie of Spartanburg. Also, thanks were
rendered to the President for the manner
in which he had presided, and the Asso-
citation adjourned to meet in Charleston
at such time in April or May, 1877, as
the Executive Committee may deter
mine.
The following kilograms of fraternal
greeting passed between the South Caro-
lima and Georgia Press Associations,
which were in session at the same time:

SPARTANBURG AND ASHEVILLE
RAILROAD.

President Duncan, of the Spartanburg
and Asheville Railroad, invited the men,
bers of the Press Association to visit the
line of his road and inspect the work
already done, which invitation was ac-
cepted by a number of editors, and on
Thursday morning last the excursion
party started from Spartanburg in ele-
CANT vehicles kindly provided from the
stables of Messrs. Carrier, Mills G. Carson.
The expedition was gone two days, and We
regret that limited space will not allow
a full description of the trip, which was
instructive, entertaining and agreeable in
every feature. The weather was mild,
clear and balmy, and the mountain roads
in good order, so that the journey was
made without unnecessary fatigue.
The grading of the Spartanburg and
Asheville Railroad has been nearly COM
pleted for the first twenty-five miles, and
we were astonished to find the light char
acter of the work. The line is upon a
ridge tor that distance, and the grading
is unusually light, while the road is COM
paratively straight. The first obstruc-
ton is rock cut through Bird Noun
tain, or rather the edge of the mountain
in q gorge. The work is under SUPER
vision of Capt. Fagg, who is pushing his
contract, and will speedily complete that
section. Several miles beyond we visited
the contract of Mr.. Ephraim Clayton, of
Ashcville, who is a practical, earnest
and intelligent worker, and one of the
staunchest friends of the project. A few
such men in any community will always
insure success to any public enterprise.
His work is admirably done, showing
experience as contractor.
Thursday night the entire party was
accommodated with lodgings at the hos
pitable residence of Rev. DIR. McAboy,
whose home is in a beautiful valley, at
the foot Of Trion Mountain, and on Fri
day morning we started again for the
railroad line, reaching it at point
where the stockade is located. Two
hundred convicts from the North Caro-
lima Penitentiary are at work here, under
the superintendent of Capt. Tanner,
whose kind and humane treatment of the
prisoners was manifest to every one.
This is called the mountain section, and
is the heaviest work upon the entire line.

An invitation was accepted from Hon.

company him on an excursion up the
line of this road, and the members spent
Thursday and Friday inspecting the
progress Of this important work, an ac-
count of which is given elsewhere.
The members of the Association were
invited to enjoy the hospitality of the
Piedmont House, which is. under the
management of Mr.. H. S. King, and on
Friday evening latter returning from the
mountains) a goodly number sat down to
supper at this excellent hotel. The en-
tertainment was elegant and profuse, and
the generous host was highly compli-
mented by the Association for his exqui-
site taste in the arrangement of so boun-
tiful repast. This house is pleasantly
located, and every summer is filled with
visitors from the low-country.
The parting hand was extended at
midnight, and the Press Association re-
gretfully separated from the attractions
and pleasure afforded by the second an
nual meeting, which demonstrated its
value as social institution, and furnish
ed the occasion for profitable consultation
over the interests of journalism in South
