Tilden's Majority in Florida.

Since public attention has been directed
particularly TO Louisiana and to the rapid
development of CHANDELIERS plot to count
in HAYES III that State by means OF tho
shameful machinery OF the Returning
Board, the vote OF Florida has been in q
measure overlooked. 1t now seems posi-
BILE that the decisive majority for TILDEN
in Florida may put an end To this contest
before KELLOGG and the sinuous j. MADI.
Son WELLS have arranged the details of
their projected infamy.
One week ago there was little doubt that
Florida had gone for TILDEN. To-day there
Is no doubt. The State would have been
conceded to the Democrats long before
this were il not that in the desperate
game which the Republican officehoders
are playing, the concession OF single
point is fatal Therefore, while official
returns and all reports from bipartisan
sources have steadily pointed TO a Demo-
cratic majority of n thousand or more,
the organs of CHANDLER and GOULD have
continued to claim Florida, meeting figures
with assertions and proof with bluster,
simple and straight.
Within day or two, however, the pro-
fessed belief in II Republican majority in
Florida on the vote actually aud legally
polled has been narrowed down to ZACH
CHANDLER ana the columns of our too
crelulous neighbor, the Tunes. The Wash
ingtOn correspondent of JAY GOULD :
paper writes; Every few OF the RepuOll-
cans are rs confident rs the Secretary
[CHANDLERL They cannot help feeling
little less certain of Florida than they
did week ago" Even the Republican
State Committee at Tallahassee has issued
an address ito the People OF the United
States charging that tue figures have
been so perverted rs TO give IN apparent
Democratic majority.
II has evidently been the intention Of
the Republican consplrators 10 carry
Florida ON the same plan that is pursued
in Louisiana. A Democratic majority of
ten or twelve hundred would hardly be a
mouIhlul Tor Republican Board OF Can
Vassers with the power, rs IN Loul- lana, tc
REJECT votes wherever charges OF fraud on
Intimidation may he lrumped up.
Unfortunately for Nh. CHANDLER, the
law of Florida Is very explicit in defining
the powers Of the Board of Canvlssers
Section ~ Of the election law of 1868 Is a
follows;

What DO the Republicans Say (.

When, without authority OF law, Gen.
GRANr ordered troops to Louisiana, South
Carolina, aud Florida, 20 control the cl,c-
ton. the Republican, party unanimously
Rcquiesccd in the proceeding. Even Mr..
BRYANT ana Mr.. EvARTs who hal so man
fully condemned the Louisiana outrage uf
1874, had not II word OF condemnation for
this act Of the President. while The Repub-
lean Journals generally applauded IL with
out qualification.
Now another act in this military drama
Is preparing and il to be performed \
large force OF regular troops has b en- or
dered 10 Washington, and many of them
have already arrived aud are stationed
there In barracks At the Brooklyn Navy
Yard three vessels of war are likewise be-
ing armed for actual hostiltics. and u
quantity of muskets are also taken on. as II
FOR the use of foot soldiers. THIS is all done
with such secrecy that, in putting powder
aboard. the signal of danger, which is al
ways hosted on such occasions to warn
other vessels from coming too near, is now
not displayed. These chips are likewise to
be sent to Washington.
Why is sucla military force assembled
there? Is it to consummate the conspiracy
by which Mr.. HAYES is to be counted in as
President? Is 1t to overawc the House OF
Representatives and prevent it from set
ting on foot Investigations that would
render clear aud certain TO every mind the
various steps of this stupendOus fraud z
Or is il to enable GRANT To follow the adj
vice of CALEB CUSHING, and, under the
pretence of holding over after the 4th Of
March, 10 izc the Government, rs LoUIs
NAPOLEON did when he was about to go
out of office. and establish himself us die
tator of the country!
To all those who have fought the battle
OF reform in this election we tender the
same counsel in this menacng emergency
which we gave to the Democrats of LOUISE
ana, South Carolina, and Florida. BE
calm; be careful to keep strictly within
the line of legal and peaceful action; give
no excuse to the military authorities 10 lot
loose the bloodshed and devastation Of an
other civil war. Better submit TO wrong
for the time. however gross, than appeal
TO any but legal, constitutional, aud peace
full remedies.
The men who should now speak are the
Republicans aud If they love their coun-
try more than their party, they will speak
In earnest.

generally agreed that the senate would confirm

very recently william II. Woodin. who is the

no doubt Oft. The new officials may be among

in also stated st the same time that numiua-
lions To replace present Republican lncumbents
would not toe confirmed under any circuu-
