lieved now that the vote for electors will be
very close indeed. The Board of State Can
vassers at Columbia to-day considered the
question whether they had the revising ju-
risdiction over the returns. Attorney.Gen-
eral Stone, and another member of the
| Board, not candidates for reelection, OPP
posed the claim, and contended that their
duty was simply to aggregate and declare
the result reported to them from the coun-
ties. The rest OF the Board, however, voted
otherwise, and their decision was against
this view. Gov. Chamberlain still claims
the State for the Republicans by from 5000
to 1000.

New York, Nov. 14.--The Heralds Wash.
ington dispatch says it is said at the Demo-
cratic headquarters here that, by blunder
in the printing of the Republican electoral
ticket of Wisconsin, only nine Republican
electors have been chosen out of ten from
that State, and that, as consequence, the
highest candidate on the Democratic ticket
is also elected, giving Tilden the requisite
majority of 1856 votes, regardless of what
may be the result of the election in the three
disputed Southern States.
| Milwaukee, Nov. lathe facts concern
ing the report that one Democratic Presi-
Dental Elector is chosen in Wisconsin, are
as follows: 1t was discovered several weeks
before the election that Miner, Repub.
lican candidate for elector, was Postmaster.
He was thereupon taken from the ticket
and Downs substituted. The blanks for
returns sent by the Secretary of State to the
town officers of election, contained Miners
name instead of Downs. Upon learning
this the Chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee caused circulars to be
sent to these Officers, instructing them to
erase Miners name aud insert Downs. In
few cases, so far as learned, this was not
done, and the votes are returned as IL they
had been cast for Miner, when in fact they
were cast for Downs, but the number is not
