Mr.. rilaen Perfectly saneui,e

President elect Iilden remained at his
home all yesterday morning receiving
numbers of dispatches from Democratic
Headquarters. To friends who called
upon him he said he had no doubt of the
result Il know that | am fairly elected, y
he said to one friend, but the opposition
managers may be able to manipulate the
returns in the three southern states-par-
ticularly Louisiana-so as to claim the
election of their candidate" At 3 o'clock
he was driven to the Everett House, where
he remained in consultation with Governor
Randolph and Senator Herman until s,
when he started to walk home, but was
stopped by many of the crowd who had
assembled outside, congratulatlng him on
his election and bidding him to be of good
heart as to the result. They would stand
by him, they said, whatever should happen.
The governor thanked them, shaking
hands and chatting pleasantly with their
spokesman. Arrived at his house, he
ordered his handsome bay riding-horse to
be saddled, and cantered off towards the
park. The governor is one Of the best
horsemen in the city, and this faculty
would have attracted to him the attention
of those he met, even if he were not now

den remained the rest of the evening at

his door was constantly besieged by cal

MIR. Peter Cooper's Views.

Mr.. Peter Cooper was Frustrated by a
sudden attack of his old complaint late
Thursday night, but was better yesterday.
Having now no hope of his own election,
Mr. Cooper is very anxious about the re
suit between Tilden and Hayes, aud does
not hesitate to express his hope that the
former will be duly inaugurated president.
Speaking of President Grants proclama-
ton, Mr.. Cooper said yesterday: 1.-The
election itself passed so quietly that
hoped the returns would be. made without
disturbance. | supposed they had enough
troops in Florida and Louisiana to keep
the peace and protect the returning
boards. We have not heard of any riots
yet, and | think the sending Of more
troops would tend to excite one. ~. Y,

The Methodir South Carolina.

The board of canvassers in South Carroll
ma, which passes upon the returns from
the state, is, with perhaps one Exception
entirely composed of candidates for elec
ton upon the Republican state ticket. Il
is provided by law that the board shall
consist of the state treasurer, comptroller.
general and secretary of state, the attorney.
general and the chairman ofth committee
of election and privileges in the lower
house. The present Republican state
officers of South Carolina were, with one
exception, renominated, and, therefore, the
political anomaly is presented in this case
of board deciding its own election. The
character of the state government of
South Carolina is so notorious that the in
tegrity of this board will be considered
absurd. Gentlemen from Charleston now
in New York say, however, that every
precaution has been taken to detect and
expose them in any fraud. Ten days are
allowed the board to count the ballots and
declare the result,-N. Y. World, 10th.

How Sou thern Democrats Feel.

The Democrats in the south care less
about the president than they do about
their state governments. They say-'If
you people in the north can endure the
frauds, extravaganza and dishonesty of tie
general government, so can we. When
you get tired of it we are willing to help
rid the country of it--but we can stand it
as long as you can. But what we want is
to get rid of the carpet bag thieving gov
ernments at home. We have done this in
all the states except Louisiana, Florida
and South Carolina, and we are trying to
do it there. As fast as we get rid oil
these dishonest creatures we have peace,
reduced taxation and begin to pay off our
state debts. This Is what we most want.
If the north can endure the wrongs infict-
ed on the people by the general govern
ment. we have nothing to say-we can
stand it if the north cam That's the
way they talk and act. It will therefore
be seen that the people of the north are
more interested in the result of the late
election for president than the people Of
the south.

Where Mahoney Put HIS Foot III.

Mr.. G. p. James. of Peoria, treasurer
of the Peoria R. r., is good Democrat,
and Mr. Mahoney, Of this city, genera
freight and passe niger agent Of the road
is Republican. On the day after the
election, Mr. James asked Mr.. NJ. by
telegraph, if he proposed to make specia
rates to Uncle Sans inauguration. Mr.
NJ. replied, in not very amiable mood,
that it wouldn't pay but doubtless large
excursions will be run from AndersonvilIe
and Libby" And Mr.. NJ. caused the
telegraphic correspondence to be pub
lished in the Union and Gazette, no doubt
thinking he had a good thing on Mr..
James.-but Mr.. NJ. unwittingly admitted,
by implication, very welcome truth, viz:
that the prisoners at Andersonvile and
Libby being Democrats would desire
to be present at the Inauguration of
Uncle Sam. It is known fact that a
majority of the soldiers in the late war
were Democrats, and of course they will
want to attend the Inauguration of Uncle
Sam. What Mr.. M. intended as a piece
of biting sarcasm is really grateful
