TIE SITUATION.


The situation with regard to the
election remaius as it did last week,
with this exception: The vote of South
Carolina has beco ccunted officially and
given 20 Hayes. The board was at
work canvass;ng the Louisiana vote at
last Observation-Disclosures perfectly
COZ fident that on fair count the State
has given several thousand majority for
Hayes. The vote of Florida has not
been canvassed, as the returns from
several counties, claimed to have given
large Democratic maiorities, have not
been received. OF course The Demo-
Gratis are clamorous that the votes re-
ceived shall be counted, obviously that
they may know just how lalge Dem
oeratic vote is repaired in the counties
not get reported to overcome the Re-
publican maiorities conceded in the
counties already in the hands OF the
canvassers! The Democrats are play
ing desperate game in Florida, aud it
is yet to be seen whether it will win or
fail. we believe they will tail in their
rascaily endeaYor to cheat the people
out of their honest choice for President.
