THE Nashville American, Of the
18th, gives the State returns for
Governor, as far as received up to
Saturday night, as follows First
district-Porter, 1926; Thomas,
4OS2. Second district = Porter,
6543; Thomas, G5S6. Third dis
trict-Porter, 1926; Thomas, 1870.
Fourth district = Porter, 1924
Thomas, 2O69, Fifth district
Porter, 1886; Thomas, $3.50,
Sixth district = Porter, 1909 .
! Thomas, 9494. Seventh district
Porter, 1851; Thomas, 22S8.
Eighth district - Porter, 6S29;
Thomas, 5O16. Ninth district
Porter, 1896; Thomas, $685..
Tenth district = Porter, 1851 F;
Thomas, 1892. Total-Porter,
%, 581; Thomas, 1882. POrter's
majority, sB,749. These returns
are from ffty.siE counties. There
are thirty-seyen yet to hear from
which will largely increase Porter'l
majority. Colonel John NJ. Elem.
ing, of the Knoxville Tribune, tele
graphs that in his opinion Porte
will have a largely increased ma
Iiority in East Tennessee over tina
of two years ago. This is accounted
for by the fact that the high ta'
Republicans went over 10 Porte
and helped him out, while the.
elected two Republican Congress
men and the legislative ticket j
all the counties except six. Porte
suited the purposes Of many Reput
licans, and they were not afraid t
vote for him.

shape he may find a few proper OBJ
iects of charity upon whom to be-
stow aims. We have about as bad
rebels in Tennessee as are to be
found in the South. These same
rebels have had entire control of
the State government for six or
seven years, YET they have not null
lifted the constitutional amend
ments or deprived colored citizens
of any of their rights acquired with
their freedom. We tax ourselves
heavily to educate their children at
the public schools, and in a spirit
of forbcarance allow them a lati-
tude not granted to white men,
For instance: on election day sew
eral hundred corn-feld negroes, oil
the most ignorant type, came into
Memphis from Arkansas and Mis-
sissippi to vote. They could have
been prevented, but our people
rather than have the slightest dis
turbance or give any pretext for
complaint permitted them to hold
two voting places all day. AS a
consequence of this yielding spirit
we lost two members in the Legis-
lature, who would have been elected
but for this large illegal vote. If
the same number of white men had
come across the lines of adjacent
States to take a part in our election
there would have been trouble.
We of the South understand the
character of the negro and make
due allowances for his ignorance,
preiudicies and Authorizations, and
he fares better here than he does
when he gets into Ohio. We're this
not the fact they would emigrate.
1t is time for such intelligent men
as Governor Hayes, who is really
a man of moderation, to become
acquainted with the true state
of affairs in the South. Let
them look for themselves, or inquire
of intelligent Northern men who
have property here. Asto Northern
men having to leave the South in
the event of Tllden's election,
that is even more absurd. There
are thousands of Northern men in
every Southern State, not office
holders either, who remaln OF
choice. They are welcome here,
and feel as much at home as if to
the manner born; and if Tilden
becomes President we expect thou
sands more of the same kind to
come down in the next few years
and help us develop the vast re-
sources of this fertile and inviting
region.

New YORK, November l3-A special

Jorgenson (Rsp.) is elected to Congress
from the Fourth Virginia district by over
1000 majority.
A special correspondent Of the Times
in Florida telegraphs from Tallahassee
that if the votes actually cast are fairly
counted the Republican majority will be
from 1900 to 1000. It cannot fall below
1000 votes.

dispatch is as follows: Henry N. So

he has been elected. This fact raises the

to defeat this by getting their supervisors

TIE SITUATION.

Our New Orleans specials con-
tain the most reliable news that
has reached us from outside sources.
The count of the vote will not COM
mence at New Orleans until Thurs
day. The Radicals are determined,
if possible, to cheat Louisiana out
of the majority cast for Tilden.
They are watched by Democrats
who know them best, and leading
men from all parts of the country,
representing the extremes as well
as the better elements Of all parties,
will be there TO witness the count,
The city is an armed camp and
troops are constantly arriving. Nc
one can foresee the result. The Pres
ident while expressing adesire for a
fair return and count, has freely
expressed his opinion in advance
that Hayes is elected. Supervisor

and returning officers will readily
take the hint, and endeavor to see
that he is counted in. There is nc
disturbance in Louisiana and NO
reason, outside Of plans formed in
executive committee rooms, fol
sending an army Of intimidation
to that State. This movement is
without doubt, q part Of the pro,
gramme long since agreed upon, t.
secure a Republican victory. Loui
siana was counted against thu
Democrats two years ago. TIL
State has unquestionably gon'
Democratic by from ten to ffteei
thousand majority this time, bu

how the State voted, even if Il
voice of the people is again drown
ed by the roll of the drum. tt
country is passing through an o

hope that good counsels, strict jU
