4AmotIcr Might of Excitement.

Last night was another time of politi-
cal excitement in Wilmington, and large
crowds assembled Mt the respective party
headquarters to hear the latest returns.
At the Republican headquarters, early
in the evening, the crowd seemed to be
in an exceedingly good humor, and it
was stated that they had the negro band
ready to proceed on tour of iubilation.
About 9 o'clock however bad news came
and in % short time thereafter the lights
were dimmed and the room almost de-
serted.
At the Democratic Headquarters the
crowd were cheerful and confident, and
greeted every encouraging piece of news
with hearty cheers, AbOut9 o o'clock a
despatch was read by Mr.. John p.
Springer, stating thatthe Republicans had
given up Florida, and that returns from
all but six parishes in Louisiana gave
Tilden over 5000 majority. Tremendous
applause greeted this news, and men
who had lost hope since the doubts ofDem.
ocratic success began to be raised became
more confident than ever. 1t was this
despatch that caused the dependency al
Republican headquarters, as a prominent
Republican heard it read at the telegraph
office, and communicated it to his party
friends.
Notwithstanding the crowds, the ex-
citement, and the proximity of the two
party headquarters no disturbances ol
collisions have orcurred during the last
few evenings.

From Washington.

Special Dispatch to the BaltimQe Sum-
THE SITUATION NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF
THE POLITICAL RULERs-THE MILITARY
q CALLED TO THE AID OF THE PLoTTERS
INDIGNATION AND EXCITEMENT.
WASHINGTON, November 10. The sit
uation at present is extremely CRITICAL
The evident intention to pervert the re-
turns in South Carolina and Louisiana so
as to declare the election of the Radical
candidates has produceda a most profound
impression. All the indications are that
the people of the country are in no humor
to submit to another four years of unlaw-
fully imposed radical despotism.
The cause of South Carolina and Louis
lana is now in o double sense the cause OF
the whole country. The thousands OF
kilograms which have come here to-day
| from all over the United States inquiring
as to the indications show how deep and
intense is the popular feeling on the sub
iect The country has had enough of
strife and is heart sick for peace and har-
mony, but it Is apparent that the people
do not propose to purchase hollow
peace at the expense of sacrificing the
dearest right of all to the American free
men the right of the majority to rule.
The sending of troops to Louisiana and
Florida can be looked upon in no other
| light than an intention to uphold the
radical authorities of those States in the
false and fraudulent canvass of the votes,
notwithstanding that the President in his
order dispatching the troops asserts that
| it is to secure fair count.

The Southern Difficulty.

Prominent Party Men In the North In
Uited South-Sendtor Bdyards uieo
In view of the grave situation of affairs
in the three disputed Southern States,and
their probable effect upon the result OF
the Presidential election, prominent men
in the North of both parties, have been
invited to visit South Carolina, Louisiana
and Florida, with view to seeing that
the votes are honestly counted and the
peoples wishes fairly expressed. Among
those invited is Senator Bayard of Della
ware.
So far as he is personally concerned,
Senator Bayard would assent to this pro-
position with great reluctance.
In his judgement he would prefer to
remain away, as in his official capacity
he will be required take part in the
counting of the electoral vote, and there
fore he would desire to act freely and
conscientiously in the matter, without
the slightest political bias. If hereafter
he should be officially requested to go by
order of the Senate, he would nothesitate
an instant, but as the invitation is entire
ly unofficial his best judgment is against
accepting it.
Senator Bayard started for New York
on the noon express, and will confer
with leading members of the National
Executive Committee this evening.

The Sixth WardVotes.
A Mistake or Misco,u,t-a Offence of
Fifth Votes.

A Mistake or MiscOlult-d Offence OF
Fifty Votes.
When the returns from the Sixth Ward
were given to the newspapers, on Tues
day night, the vote for Electors was as
follows: For Tilden, 459; for Hayes, 625;
Republican majority, 167; two double
ballots were rejected, making the total
vote 1885. al II.
The official votereceived.at New Cas-
tie, on Thursday, gave the Republican
Electors in the Sixth Ward 675 votes, an
increase of so, and made corresponding
increase in the vote of every other candi-
date on the ticket. This of course in
creased the Republican majority TO 217
though it did not materially affect the
general result in the county.
This morning Gen. VIM Reynolds, the
Democratic Judge, and VIM Ii. Lee, one
of the Democratic Supervisors OF thu
of the Sixth Ward, gave.it as their posi-
tive opinion that the vote as announced
on Tuesday night was correct No reason
can be assigned for desire to increase
the Republican vote in the Sixth Ward
unless it is the disgust of the Republicans
at their small majority. Before the elec
ton they boasted of3SO or 400 majority
and would not even think of less thar
$50. Hence they were much disappointed
at only getting an average majority o

L VI tuo uuLtttb-
MR. JoHNsoN:-W Whatmeans the threat
emng editorial in the Commercial yester-
day and the soldier with drawn sword at
the head of the editorial of the ReDubU
cnl. From the tone of the Republican
papers-their talk about the Electoral
college-threats and SO forth one cannot
but come to the conclusion that the re-
turns from Louisiana, Florida aud South
Carolina are withheld to see If they can
be counted out by their returning boards
so as to elect Hayes. The Commercial
says II these three states are not given to
Hayes, they warn the people there will
be nothing but conflict and contention
till Hayes shall beinaugurated on the 4th
of March.
The apprehension of fraud by Kellogg
andthere turning board very great. Their
representation of gain of two thousand
in one district and five hundred
in another-their having counted the
ballots-and their saying of the stealing
of the ballot boxes by Democrats it is to
be feared is but preparing the way for
fraud in the returns, If so it is to be
hoped the Democrats have the ballot
boxes and so will checkmate any false
returns. We warn the Commercial in
return that if they think to make the
free white men of this nation submit to
their cOncOcted fraud or the Inauguration
Of bogns government they are greatly
mistaken, nor will all the parade of the
Republican, of his paper soldier, or paper
pop-gun have tendency to frighten the
quiet Democrats of Wilmington or the
outraged citizens of New York, or the
northern states much less the chivalry OF
the South, papers form public opinion
and it is time that our people reprehend
these rebellious papers, advocates for
fraud and striving by intimidation to
subvert the Government.
We are glad to see the neutral papers
the New York Herald, the Philadelphia
Times, and the Erery Eteni1,g of this
city, warning the people against the ap
parent nefarious purposes of the Repub
licans, and warning the Republican:
against any futile attempts to bring thi.
| government into state ofrevolution.
1t is to be hoped that the Democrats
papers will sound the alarm agains
these insidious attempts to possess thi
Government by fraud, knavery and injus
tice. Our voice is feeble to warn, bu
our hand shall be strong to strike dow
these pusilanimous foes to our countr
and there are thousands, aye, millions il
this land who will rise up to prevent an
archy, monarchy and the destruction G
our would-be happy Republic.

ofhls age He hadrecentlybeen attackedb by
a paralytic stroke, and on Tuesday he was
