And Will Administer the
Government.
SOUTH CAROLINA.

CHARLESTON, November 9.-Nineteen
counties, official, give Democratic ma
jority of 23,613; eleven counties, from
trustworthy reports, and some from Off
cial reports, give Republican majority
of IA, 159; only to be heard from, the
tworemaining counties, Charleston and
Colleton, where before the election the
Republicans claimed respectively 5000
and 500 majority. IT the result con-
firms the anticipation, Hampton's net
majority would be 1856, and the ma
jority for Tilden probably ten or fifteen
per cent. less. The city Is in condition
of feverish excitement.
CHARLESTON, S. C.-Complete returns
from Collection and partial from Charles
ton county indicate that Hampton has
carried South Carolina by from ], 200 TO
1900 majority. The Democrats gain
7 Senators and "A Representatives, giv-
ing them sure majority of one on joint
ballot, and securing U. 5. Senator in
place of Robertson. The vote for Presi-
dent is still closer, but the Democratic
Committee are confident of q small ma
jority for Tilden.

New xerk Papers on the Resnid;


Nvw YeRK, November 9.-The 7Ti-
bune saws this morning: I'VE feel war
ranted in saying that Governor Iliden is
not vet sure of more than le4 electoral
votes. There is. in fact, a little doubt
about the ten of these which come from
North Carolina. Gov. Hayes is sure OF
1sl without counting Florida, and that
IN spite of the telegraphic denials, the
probabilities point to his having carried
Florida also. Everything, therefore
seems to hinge upon this State. IT, a,
we now believe, it has gons
Republican, the Electoral College
will at the worst stand lS5 Tor
Hsyes to 1874 for Tilden. The result Is
close beyond all precedent.
The Herald says editorily: Accoroln
to the latest returns now California, or-
egon and Wisconsin have given their
electoral votes for the Republican candi-
date, and Mr.. Tilden's only chance et
election depends on the possibility OF his
having carried Louisiana or South caro-
lima. Antecedent probability was that
south Carolina would 60 Republican,
and there is as yet nothing in the news
to contradict that supposilion. II South
Carolina does not support Hayes, Its
vote will be doubtful. The Republican
esnvassing officers will easily find reason
or pretext for counting Tilden out, and
his chances, as things now iooK'
are narrowed down to his getting the
electoral votes Of Louisiana. Both par
ties claim the State. When the Presi-
dentisl election is found to depend on
the electoral votes of one State temp

IN the metropolis:

VIRGINIA.

RlcHMoND, November 9.-Additional
returns from the State confirm last
nights dispatch in regard to Tildens
msjority and the Congressional delega-
tion except in the Fourth district,
which was reported as very probable
to elect Jsergensen, Republican. The
reported returns to night from all the
towns in that district but three give
Hunter. Democrat, over 300 majority.
1t is believed the towns to hear from
cannot change the result, thus giving the
delegstion solldly Democratic.

IT Is clear that very large majority
Of the people have declared in favor of
TILDHN - the next President of the
United States, whatever the scoun-
drels, KxLLoa, of Louisiana, and CHAM
BEnLA1N, of South Carolina, may do in
the way OF manipulating the returns in
their respective States.
There seems no doubt but Louisiana
cast an honest majority in favor of TIL
DEN of $1,000 to 10000, but as in 1872
and again in 1874, there comes talk of
irregular registration and intimidation,
and Radical Returning Board may at
tempt to throw out enough votes to give
HAYES the State. With the State in
tie hands of Radical officials, with Rad
ical Registrars, with Radical United
States Marshsls to supervise the elec-
tions, with Radical election officers to re-
ceive and deposit the ballots, and with
United States soldiers to dragoon the
people, it would seem that the pretense
of Democratic fraud or Democratic In
timidation was rather thin.
It is clear that Louisiana can be given
to HAYES only by the grossest fraud and
most infamous disregard of the legally
will of the people; and we shall
soon see whether thepeopIe ofthe country
are in humor to be thus outrsgeously
dealt with by GRANTS gang of carpet
thieves, OF whom brother-in'lsw
CASEY is one of the chiefs.
We believe it safe to say that, the peo-
pie having elected TILDEN President by
over a quarter of a million majority, they
will see that he is inaugursted on the |
5th of March next.

The Reason OF 1t.

The organs vii be heavy this morning
with reasons for the result. venture
to suggest few:
|. Gov. Tilden had too many votes.
3 The general dissatisfaction with the
Administration was not quieted blythe
nomination of Gov. Hayes. Too many
people believed that his administration
v Guild be merely continuation OF
Grants.
8 Hard times. People wanted a
chan ge, and thought perhaps turning out
the party in power might give it.
4. The Democrats used the best intel
lects in their party to address their best
arguments to the intelligence of voters.
The Republican canvass ran more In
party grooves, and depended less on ar
gument than on prejudice.
S. Governor Hayes didn't have votes
enough.-Ne,0 York Tribune, 9th.
