Mr.. Galbreath then made some remarks, in

The delay in receiving at Tallahassee the
official returns from certain counties in
Florida is unaccountable except upon the
theory that the Republicans are purposely
holding them back in order TO manipulate
them TO suit themselves. The Democrats
have received certified transcripts of the vote
actually cast in each county, and the fact is
established beyond doubt that the Tilden
and Hendricks electors have carried the
State by majority which cannot be over.

The Republicans have complete control of

for believing that Governor Steams will as.

canvass the electoral vote but that that
power resides in the Governor. This assump-

For the Fiscal Year Ending Sept. 80. 1876

In publishing this statement it is not
necessary to refer to the enormous debt
now carried by the Board at high rates of
interest, as all are aware of the efforts that
have been made, (and hitherto without
avail) to put the debt into better shape.
The great difficulty under which the
Board labors is its inability to collect the
County tax. 1t will be seen from the state
ment that $7,313.07, or 80 per cent of the
whole levy for 1875 is still in the hands of
the Collectors, and there is little prospect
of an early settlement.
The Boards obligations cannot be
promptly met, when the payment of its
money is delayed six or eight months be-
You'd the time specified by law.
The estimate for the current year has
been carefully prepared, and, while it is
not to be expected that the estimated BAL
anco will remain intact, no obligations will
be incurred which can not be met by the
receipts for the year.

That Samuel j. Tildcn was fairly elected
President of the United States on the seventh
day of November, 1876, there is not the
shadow OF doubt An honest and legal
count shows that he received clear majority
OF the electoral votes, as well as an immense
majority of the popular vote of the country.
The false returns that may tie made by the
returning boards of South Carolina, Florida
and Louisiana, by which the actupl majority
for Tilden is to he changed to an apparent
one for Hayes, will be resisted in every legal
ana constitutional manner and when all the
