THE PRESIDENTIAL MIDDLE.

Affairs connected with the presi-
dental contest are assuming q very
serious aspect. Tclegraphic advices
published herewith show . greater de-
gree of excitement than has hitherto
obtained with refe renee to this all
absorbing topic. The Returning Board
of South Carolina, it appears, having
in fragrant violation Of law issued GER
tificaies of election to the Republican
Electors, proceed to cut off all legal
recourse by hastily adjourning sine die.
1t was a piece of sharp practice, we
admit, but totally unworthy of being
invoked in a matter OF such grave i'm
portance. IT smacks too strongly Of a
deliberate attempt to count Mr.. Hayes
In and MIR. Tilden out, in defiance OF
all law and decency. A fair, open,
square deal is what the people demand
in the present crisis, and anything
short of this must inevitably result
in widespread dissatisfaction at home
and g general lowering Of the Amer
lean am abroad. We care not
whether the Pesident be Mr.. Tilden or
Mr.. Hayes, 10 long as the man who
occupies the position is placed there
by honest votes and an honest tom
pliance with the forms of law. The
refusal to investigate in one State,
while the opposite course il invoked
and pursued by the same party in an.
other, will not do. 1t says too plainly
that a fair count Is precisely what the
supporters Of Mr.. Hayes in the doubt
full States are afraid of. General Wade
Hampton has issued a proclamation to
the people of South Carolina, counsel
ing them to submit to the high handed
outrage OF the board without permitting
themselves in any way to t%ransgress
the laws. The full text Of the docu-
ment will be found in our Geographic
columns.
Tho Louisiana Board Of Canvasse RS
have reached the first of the contested
parishes. Nothing Is foreshadowed re-
gardiDg their probable action. A a
of testimony will most likely be heard,
even though their decision should be
as shameless and revolutionary rs
| that af the South Carolina Board. We
have nothing definite from Florida.
The sudden departure Of Senator
Kelly for Oregon, instead of continu-
ing his journey to Washington, is
causing a ripple OF excitement among
the San Francisco Republicans. 1t is
supposed that he has gone back to
give Governor Grover backbone to
withhold Postmaster Watts certificate
Of election ~ q Presidential Elector.
Upon the whole we look upon this
Oregon ease as the best chance the
Democrats have left for securing the
election Of Mr.. Tildeu. There seems
to be little hope tor him with the Seal
awag Returning Boards Of the doubt
full Southern States. CFaf

SonNtOr Kelly Returas to Oregon =
rr smallpox.

SAN FRANCfsco, Nov. %.
There Is some excitement in Rerub-
fican circles here over the movements
of Senator Kelly, of Oregon. He left
here Tuesday, ostensibly 20 go East,
after stopping n day or two al Sacra-
mento. 1t is 10Y reported that before
saving here he received an urgent
summons to return to Oregon, which
he did by rail and stage. lie has been
tracked as far as Yreka. on the road
home. The supposition Is that he is
returning to brace up Governor Grover
in tho latter's refusal TO issue a Ger
~titicate Of election 10 Watts, whose eli
gibility has been questioned on the
ground Of his being n postmaster.
An examination OF the records Of the
Health Office to. day shows that while
the smallpox has by no means died
out there il no reason to ~apPrehend a
serious fresh outbresk. During the
last week there was q somewhat
marked increase in the number of
cases reported. For n few days sir~e
that they have fallen back to the usual
average. Since the first OF this month
80 new cases have been reported and

A Times Columbia correspondent
gives the law in the case OF the coup
a. etdt to. day, which shows the Board
Of Canvsssers was right. BY b law it
is compelled to close its sessions within
ten days after commencing, and the
time expires at noon o day. There
was consequently no other course lett
open. The action was taken before
the mandamus of the SQUIRT was grant
ed. At any rate, 1t was done before
the writ was served on the board. The
board has now ceased TO exist.
The Times has an editorial uphold
ing the action of the South Carolina
Board of Canvassers, as does the Iyf-
bune. The San has nothing to say.
The Herald condemns what it calls the
Republican coup a. etat,' while the
World Is furious, calling the boards
action the " foulest outrage yet" and
characterizing it as a "a brazen and
shameless robbery f.

it had not done 1t the Democrats
might hereafter claim that they have
no power to issue certificates because
the time for them TO do it has ex pired.
In other words it was done to prevent
the possibility Of the Democrats get

pretense that the board had not COM

prevent the discharge OF the Gatling,

are beginning to look green again with
the coming crops. The acreage sown to
grain in this vicinity will greatly excel
that OF last year, while the quantity of
grain for shipment will of course be in.
creased in proportion. Mr.. j. S. Conner
will begin laying the foundation, in a
few days, of an immense lippodrome or

large crop of grain this fall. You have
heard of committees being appointed in
