PRESIDENTIAL MUDDLE.

There is yet nc solution of the
Presidential middle. The latest dis
patches leave the question in about
the same unsettled condition as at
the time of our last issue. The South
Carolina board have declared the
State for Hayes and also for Cham
berlain for Governor, and adjourned
s,ne die, but it is held that their &C
ton will be declared nugatory, and
the Democrats will exert all legal
means for upsetting it in the courts.
There seems to be nj material
change in the situation in Louisiana

several days before any defidite ac-

these States.

The delay in announcing the re-

undoubtedly exercising a depressing
effect upon the business interests of

little apparent reason TO hope for
improvement at present. He fur

Representative Sayler ,of Ohio, hits
the nail on the head when he says
there will be no war because 'there
are too many people who have prop
erty, own bonds and are the fathers

dire consequences of another civil
war ought to convince everybody of
the impossibility of such a national
calamity. Groaning as the country
is under a large debt, and with the
securities of the United States in the
hands not only of capitalists, but of
thousands of persons of moderate
means throughout the union, it is
not plain TO see how another civil
war could be brought about without
bringing with it the swift repudia-
tion of our Observation-Disclosures and
