Our Thanksgiving.-"'T Iris sweet to be remembered" was never more joyfully ex. emplified in our own case than on Tuesday afternoon of last week, when we were the recipient of large box by express, which contained a nice large dressed turkey, weighing as we received 1t, nine and three fourths pounds, andwhich, if we mistake not, indicates every powerful sized" gobbler before it was dressed. Accompanying this thanksgiving souvenir was chicken, and as far as size is concerned, was an appropriate accompaniment to the turkey. for 1t was ''a rouser." Certain 'earmarks'' about the box pointed pretty direct to the Hon. K. T. Butler of Norfolk as being the originator of this Thanksgiving box, and which we cannot regard in any other light than a fool freak of his. MT. B. has our sincere thanks for this kind and subtantial remembrancer. May be live thousand years to build such railroads as the Counec. ticut Western, of which it will be remem bered, the earliest conception was in his mlnd and the number is not smaI who think were it not for the indefatlg ble efforts of the. Hon. k. T. Butler, the Connecticut Western railroad to cay would be where it was twenty years ago. Yes, we say; may he live thousand years long CT to build such roads as the Connection, Western, and raise such turkeys and chick ems as he sent us.

There can be no doubt that the Demo-
Gratis have fairly carried the States of
Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina /;
and on no ground can they be taken from
Tilden. The House of Representatives
will surely refuse to count either of them
if there is the proof of the least tamper-
ing with the vote of either. 1t is impos-
sible for the people to put any faith in
what may be sworn to by the bad men
of either of those States. Their previous
conduct has been such as to destroy all
confidence in anything they may say.
The people have already suffered more
from the party in power than they should
have done. Had they been dispossessed
of authority eight years ago the nation
would now have been prosperous and
happy. Delay for four years more will
only enable the tyranny to be fixed more
firmly than ever. Even now a part of
the people have been disarmed Tor what
purpose it may readily be conceived. 1t
IS too much for any people to bear that
the ignorant, degraded and uneducated
negroes in the Southern States shall be
used as an instrument to counteract the
votes of the intelligent white men in the
whole country, whose voice is for Tilden
by majority of over Three hundred
thousand Notwithstanding the immense
frauds which were perpetrated every
where by the aid of Deputy -Marshals and
unfair registry laws, such as gave the vote
Of Pennsylvania to the Radical party.

Don Caueron,s Rruu.

Don Cameron told young man in
Philadelphia that he need not hesitate to
bet his money, as he had arranged to
have the votes o. Louisiana. South Caro-
lima and Florida cast for Hayes in any
event. The young man bet $500 and
has lost. This information comes to us
from persons who say it is a fact. We
give it in connection with the following
from the Philadelphia Times:
The TIMES has accepted the declara-
ton OF President Grant in favor of an
honest count Of the votes of the dis
turbed Southern States as the honest de-
mand OF an honest Executive in favor OF
justice and law. II begs, however, to re-
mind the President that Mr.. Chandler.
one os his constitutional advisers. and
Mr.. Cameron, his Minister of War, are
not acting in accord with his solemn
pledge to the country. Mr.. Chandler. as
chairman Of the Republican national
committee, has disregarded the Pres-
dents request to able and discreet citi-
zens to visit Louisiana and observe the
character Of the returns by formally re-
iectlng the proposition of Mr.. Hewitt.
chairman Of the Democratic national
committee, to send Jointly accredited
representatives of known ability and III
teSrity to witness the actions of the
board, and we but state an open secret
when we say that Mr.. Cameron, his Sec.
retary of War, has assured his immediate
friends in this city that Hayes will Ger.
tainly be the next President, regardless O
reputed majorities. The declarations O
his now most responsible Cabinet office
are quoted in the political centres of ou
city and conspicuously by those who dc
not expect or wish an honest count or re
turn OF the vote. Possibly Mr.. Cameron
can afford to treat the solemn verdict O
The American people as he would pri
mary Pilgrim election in PHILADELPHIA
but President Grant cannot well afford t,
10 less than say to his Cabinet that hi
plighted faith to an anxious county shal
be redeemed by every member of bis ad
mlnistra,ion. He needs to read the rio
act to Chandler and Cameron as ea~ly a
possible.

No mdt tcorthy the office OF President

can afford to be disappointed in the rc:uh,
but the country cannot afford 10 here the
're,uh tainted by the Suspicion Of illegal OF
tdlce returns-PREslDENT GRANT.
The detailed returns by counties repor-
ted from Louisiana, Florida and South
Caro- ma seem to remove all reasonable
doubts about the vote of Louisiana and
Florida. They have vote TO Tilden by
decided majoli..ec, even allowing the
Republican estimates of maiorities for
Hayes in their own s.ronoholds. Florida
has given not less than from / 200 to L.
800 for Tilden, and Lo .'isiana has given
him from 5000 to 10000. The cautious
and hesitating dispatches ON Senator
Conover (Repub'ican). of Florida, and of
Governor Kellogg, of Lousian to the
". Y. Herald of yesterday, are practical
admissions that both States are lost to
Hayes. 1t is in the power of the Re.urn
Boards of those States to reject strong
Tilden majorities in particular localities
on any preteXt, or no pTeteXt, for the
laws under which the boards act We're
meant to give them the fullest authority
To return the elections without regard to
the vote, as was done in Louisiana in
1921; but encompassed as the boards
will be b. cloud of witnesses, acting
under the order of Grant to the nation to
report and denounce mt once "any grounds
of suspicion of false counting" the eX-
pertinent will be a most perilous one and
will probably in the end be abandoned
South Carolina seems to have certainly
elected Hampton, and to be in doubt
between Tlden and Hayes but we class
it in the Hayes column, as it probably
belongs there justly. and will undoubted-
ly be counted for Hayes no matter how
the honest official vote shall foot up. As
suming that Il e votes of Louisiana and
Florida cannot be sefied by the return
! boards, we give the following as about a
correct table of the popular and electoral
vote, by which Tilden has 3OS, 800 MAORI
