In the commission of the Baker county

somewhat alarmed them The laws of
Florida require the precinct returns to be
canvassed by the county Judges, the
clerk, any justice of the peace they may
select, or IL none can be- had then by the
sheriff. In Baker county, the judge be-
ing Radical, refused to make returns to
the state board. The return was then
made By the clerk and justice, and duly
sent up, showing a majority for Ti,den.
Afterwards the Judge and the sheriff
got together and made UP another return
In secret. showing majority for Hayes.
The secretary of state, having both re-
turns, pigeon-holed the first and read to
the board the last, and thus the state
stood pri",a facie for Hayes. But the
Democrats discovered the trick and ex-
posed it. This gives Tilden the state BY
about one hundred. The Alachua frauds
will give him about 220 more, and there
are about fifty votes excluded for infor-
mality, which will be got In, giving IN
all about three hundred majority for Til

that orders have to-day gone to General
Ruger at Columbia to inaugurate Cham

ocratic house OF representatives. OF the
South Carolina legislature.
Congressman Hewitt, chairman of the
national Democratic committee, had a
conference with Grant this morning, but
he refused to indicate what transpired
during the interview. The belief, how.
ever, is that Grant notified Mr.. Hewitt of
his orders to General Ruger, and sug-

troops.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-lt is now UNI
certain at what hour tomorrow the mes
sage of the president will be sent to con.
gress; certainly not until he shall be for
mally notified by the usual Joint commit
tee that the two houses are prepared to
receive any communication he may be-
pleased to make to them. The calling of
the roll OF members of the house and
election and installation of the new
speaker deiers the delivery OF the mes.
sage until o'clock.
The message will be forwarded hence
to the press. The reports of heads OF
departments have been furnished by nail.
The president tonight was engaged in
the transaction Of business and declined
to receive visitors, with the exception of
Il few personal and political friends.
DEMOCRATIC PLANS.
Some of the Democratic members of
congress say that party will act with
calmness and circumspection regarding
the political complications, and that it
may not be until Wednesday that pro-
position will be made for q permanent
committee to visit Florida. South Caro-
lima and Louisiana TO ascertain all the
facts accessible concerning the electoral
votes of those states. Ii Is certain, how.
ever, such movement will be made at an
early day.
Large numbers of persons were at the
hotels tonight specializing as to the
events OF tomorrow at the capital. Some
anticipated more than the usual excite
ment. but there Is no reason whatever IN
believe there will be any occurrence OF
an alarming character. No doubt the
galleries OF the house will be densely
crowded by interested spectators.

consequence of a remark made by the
latter during the recent debate on the

these hard times, when Professor
Seelye turned toward him and ex-

Perhaps no feature of the sad
Brooklyn scandal could stimulate
public curiosity more than q remark
made by Mr.. Beecher before the Ad-
visory Council last Saturday after
noon. The Bowen matter was under
discussion. The council had decided
not to allow the latter to present his
charges and specifications. Deacon
Howard had stated the substance OF
an interview he had had with Mr..
Beecher, just after having had an
interview with Bowen. Then DIR.
Wolcott, of Cleveland, formerly of
Chicago, arose in the council and
asked Mr.. Beecher if he had ever
made any attempt to ferret out their
secret. The Plymouth pastor replied
by first saying that he knew that no
true accusation could be brought
against him by Bowen, and then
added.
There was nothing, as 1 believed,
however, In either OF the suggestions
that occurred to my mind that could
be meddled with without n confia-
grafton, without disastrous conflicts,

Thrice Married and Thrice Divorced.

A remarkable case, in which. the
same parties have been three times
married and three times divorced, has
recently occupied the court at Gales
vile, Illinois. The complainant, Helen
NJ. Baker, is twenty-eight years of age,
fine-looking, and the daughter of the
late DR.. Spaulding. The defendant,
Marion Teralbia Baker, is thirty-two,
and connected with the best families in
that city. The young couple were first
married in Knoxville, Illinois, Nov. 10,
1865, and, supported on both sides by
wealthy and influential families, their
prospects of happiness made them the
envy of all. However, in April, 1866,
only six months after marriage, Helen
filed bill against Taralbia, asking for
divorce on the grounds of extreme
cruelty. Divorce was granted the June
following, and Helen rejoised in her
maiden name for few months only,
when on January 8, 1867, she and Ter
abba met by chance in Chicago, repen-
ted with tears and were married the
second time, and took up their resi-
dence in Galesburg. A daughter was
born in March, 1868. On the second
day of December, 1872, Mrs. Baker
again filed bill for divorce on the
grounds of desertion, asking for the
custody of her child. The decree was
granted in February, 1873, according
to the prayer of the bill. On the third
day of December following the same
parties were again married, as the COM
plainant states, she hoping to spend the
remainder of her days with the defend
ant. The couple received congratula-
tions and presents frGm friends, who
trusted they would be able to keep all
their good intentions. August A, 1876,
Mrs. Baker again, for the third time,
filed bill for divorce on the grounds
of desertion and cruelty. The decree
was granted, and the custody of the
daughter, some seven years old, was
given to the mother.

Mr.. Lineoln's Prediction.

Gen. Butler Was congratulated upon
his election to congress by his friends
in Lowell, Massachusetts, on Thursday
evening, and in acknowledging the
compliment said: sit is a singular fact
to-day that leaving out North Carolina,
the question remains to be determined
by Louisiana, Florida and South Caro-
lima. If they have voted for the Re-
publican ticket the Republican party is
again in power, tlfe country is in the
hands Of friends and is rescued from its
enemies; and is it not singular fact
that this country stands waiting to
hear from the vote of the freedmen of
the south, and that ON their vote de
pends whether or not this country is to
delivered over to foes who would have
broken it up if it had not been for the
bravery of our boys in blue, fighting in
the trenches against the very men who
now seek to rule it? We are depend
ing now upon the negro vote precisely
as we depended in the war upon the ne
gro soldier. There appears now some
thing prophetic in the words of Abra-
ham Lincoln: The time may come
when the colored freedman by his bal.
lot shall restore the jewel of liberty to
the diadem of the republic. One would
think the sainted martyr prophesied
this day and this hour. Let us hope
for the best.''

The Vote Of Louisiana.

A telegram from New Orleans says:
AS there are nearly sixty parishes in
the State, a week will pass before the
unquestioned returns are disposed of,
unless the board holds longer meetings.
The use of imperfect electoral tickets
has given rise to no little discussion as
to its result on the election in this
State, and in the United States, as five
Hayes electors run considerably behind.
1t has been conjectured that when the
count is completed, no candidate in
these five districts may be found to
have received majority of all the votes
east for president, and the question has
arisen whether in such an event any
one will have been elected. If no one
is elected in these districts then those
who deserve certificates will, under the
laws of the State, fill the vacancies.
