THE SITUATION.

The returning board of Louisiana has
at last made its decision. The declara-
ton of the board gives the low st Hayes
elector 3,437 majority, and the highest
1867. Its understood that the entire
Republican State ticket has been elected
by $500 majority, and the Republicans
have a majority in the Legislature.
Polls from various parishes, showing
clear evidencc:of fraud, and that full, free
and fair elections by reason of intimida-
ton by murder, hanging, whipping and
other outrage scould not be held, were
rejected.
The State board of Canvassers of
Florida found the net Republican ma
jorlty to be AZ. This did not include
the county Of Dade, which cannot give
a majority of over 20 either way. Count
ing in % votes omitted in Clay county,
which will probably be counted by
common content, the Republican electors
receive 10 majority.
In South Carolina there is terrible
middle. Both parties are wrest p 6 for
the control of the State. The Republi-
cans have possession Of the Sato House
and propose to hold it. On the 9Th
inst, the Senate and Honse in joint Scs-
sion, after the passage of a concurrent
resolution, met and cast the vote for
GoveIno and Lieutenant Governor.
The counties of Edgefeld and Laurens,
which gave Hampton 1000 majority,
were previously thrown out, when the
Democratic Senator'S retired from the
hall. When the returns were canvassed
Lieut.. Gov. Cleavcs, and Speaker Man.
key declared Chamberlain elected by s.
OLA votes. There lis every indication
that Hayes is elected President.

State Printer.

We understand that Capt. Hanna, tn
veteran and consistent editor of the Sa
lima Herald, will be a candidate befor,
the legislature, this winter, for the OF
fee of State Printer. Saline Vale,
Register.
The above is simply part of the pro
gramme of the mutual admiration socie
ty, composed of "the veteran and con
sistent editor of the Salina Herald" anC
tho "rising young leader of Central Kan
sas" who occupies the tripod of the Sa
line Valley Register.
Speaking further of "the veteran Han
ma" the Register says:
"For upwards of twenty years he has
labored constantly. and faithfully for the
Republican party, and has never asked
or held an office"
Now the above, with the exception OF
the last three words, is an extremity wild
shot. He has not 1abored constantly
and faithfully for the Republican party
and he has asked for an office; and i,
is not because of the Captains modesty
that he has not held one.
During the recent campaign in tie
18th Judicial district, and the Seth Sen.
atorial district, he "labored" with the
Democratic voters-with such men as
J. g. Spivey and Phil. Pendleton-
against the nominees of the Republican
party; and he did ask for the office of
State Senator and got extremely sore
headed becaus he didn't get it.
We have no pet candidate for State
Printer, but inasmuch as Geo. W. Mar
tin has given universal satisfaction, and
has been to considerable outlay TO enable
him to do first class work, we are in ia
vor of giving him the endorsement, and
the profits Of q second term.-Russell
Record.

ton of immigrants.
He believes the navy to be on as good
footing as the appropriations will allow
of.
On the financial question he still
seems TO favor resumption in 1879.

great Centennial exposition, and be.
lleves that the Government exhibit

COY. UaRyEY's SUCCESSOR.

OF course, at this time, it would be
wholly impossible to prophecy who will
be Gov. Harvey's successor in the U. 5.
Senate. The friends of Senator ingalls,,
looking to the reelection of that gentle
man in 1879, will undoubtedly prefer
that Gov. Harvey or some other West
ern gentleman shall be the man. With
q Senator in the East it would be only
natural to concede the second Senator
to the West. This being done the con-
test will narrow down between Gov.
Harvey and Col. Phillips, with chances
moro in favor Of tho latter than the form
or. Thrice elected to the Lower
House of Congress, and with a magnif-
cent endorsement at the last election, we
believe Col. Phillips has sure passport
10 the u. S. Senate.

G. In your last answer you stated that
your child was killed. What became of
your child's body? A. They threw it
in the lake, and We did not find it again
under eleven days.
Q. Do you know ofany one else being
killed, shot or whipped on account of
their politics? A. l don't know, sir,
nothing about it. l walked down to the

with his guns out.
Q. Do you know of any who were
driven away from their homes on ac-
count of their politics? A. l don't know
who they drove away but me. All l
know is about myself.
@. Did not many eolored voters have
to leave their homes at night through
fear of these armed meb riding over the

to heap Of peoples houses, and they
were lying out in the woods TO keep
from the bulldozers. Two of them
stayed up to the Clubhouse. Both were
women.

husband had been thrown down; what
was the action of the parties that threw

his body did they cut did they cut any

name to the list-the Hon. J. J. A. It.

utive ability and the knowledge of par

PRESIDENTS GEiyTS MESSAGE.

sage TO Congress is published in this
mornings papers. We received it too late
to make an extended review of the
same. We may have. occasion mex,
week to dwell upon it moro at length.
He reviews briefly the history of the
country since his administration began,
and makes a conclusive showing, not
withstanding his inexperience in public
life previous to his first election to tn
Presidency, that his administration has
been very successful.
He still thinks he was right in the
Santo Domingo scheme of annexation.
He gives the following definition of
the word reconstruction, which is as
original as many other of his sayings ::
The intervening time 10 my first in
auguration was filled up with wrang-
ling between Congress and the executive
ms to the best mode of reconstruction,
or to speak plainly, as TO whether the
control of the Government shouid be
thrown Immediately into the hands Of
those who had recently and persis.cntly
attempted 10 destroy II, or whether che
victors should continue 10 have an equal
voice with them in this control. Re-
construction as finally agreed upon,
means this and only this, except that
the slave was onfranchised, giving an
increase, as we supposed, to the Union
loving and Union supporting votes of
the free, in the full sense of tho word.
He refers to our relations with for
eign nations, and finds them satisfacto-
ry.
He denounces the false economy of
the last Congress in reducing tho ap-
preparations for the consular service,
thinking that it proves an expensive
economy in the end.
He recommends that laws be passed
