day of the sitting only could they make canvass if
the whole returns had not been received, and they
are permitted by law to sit only five days. He
therefore moved that an adjournment be had until
tomorrow afternoon at o'clock, which was agreed
to- Telegrams were sent to the clerks of the coun-
ties the returns from which missing, TO hasten
their delivery and it is probable that the returns
complete will be in tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, Nov. GA prominent Republican
citizen of Florida left here for home short time
ago. agreeing TO write to a member of the National
Committee the exact facts as to the situation III that
State. He is coOheaded unenthusastic sort OF per-
son. who never mistakes his hopes for realities The
following, emitting address and signature, is his
last letter, which, it will be seen, fully sustains the
statements in Mr.. Chanders DISPATCHES TO THE
TRIBUNE in respect to the fact that the State has
gone for HAYES and Stearns, and to methods re-
sorted to by the opposition:
TALLAHASSEE, Florida, Nov IT, 1876.
The routine of getting up the evidence of the frauds Is
way and each train is taking out men TO the sew
era counties TO investigate and get the evidence ready
for use the returns In the Hayes electors are
ahead even over all frauds and everything else st,
there are two or three little counties the canvasSng
board cannot get hold Of The frauds have been very
heavy and some of them entirely senseess There Is no
danger of the honest returns here not being for Hayes

pubcans and Democrat. Yesterday one OF our men
was approached ia the Tlden interest with the pr0posi-

prominent Democrats wished an introduction to one OF

to get the returns canvassed far they were in to
aay public anxiety and informed in reply that the
canvass would be made in compliance with law and that
due notice would be given. These and other appliances
are brought to bear hour to hour. The canvass
will probably be made either the 3d. Attn, or 9th OF De

THE PAY OF ELECTORS.
L. v. 8.


ANOTHER LAW WHICH LEAVES THE SUBJECT IN
FURTHER DoUBT-METHoDs OF DECIDING THE
CASE. -
tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBUNEl
ALBANY, Nov. 22.-The puzzle about the pay OF
electors has been additionally muddled by the dis
coyery to-day that Chapter * of the laws of 1875
declares that members of the Legislature shall be
paid $10 per day until the close of the session, and
the residue out of the annual $1,000 shall be paid
at adjournment, which leaves loophole for the
money savers of the State without actually defining
the case for the Constitution provides that S15OO
shall be the salary of members without referring to
the method of payment. solution of the difficulty,
however lies in the fact that no appropriation was
made by the last Legislature for the pay of electors
and that even the expenses of the messengers from
the various counties who bring the returns cannot
be met under any present law by the Controller.
The evil has become SO positive that the next
Legislature will very probably remedy it,

THE REPUBLICANS CARRY THE STATE.
sAyrs. A REPUBLICAN LEGISLATURE, AND THE
STATE TICKET ELEcTED-A CONFLICT OF AU-
THoRTTIEs.
COLUMBIA, s. c., Nov. 22.-The Board of State
Canvassers yesterday made report to the Supreme
Court, stating the persons who had received the
highest number of votes for the offices for which
they were candidates. Appended to the report OF
results was a memorandum of the board, stating
that in their opinion certain irregularities, which
affected some of the Republican candidates, should
be corected and also that the vote of Laurens and
Edgeheld Counties, which gave large Democratic
maiorites, should be excluded account of frauds
and intimidation.
This morning the court made an order command
ing the board to issue certificates of election to all
the persons who were shown by the report OF the
board to have received the highest number of votes
for members of the Legislature, including the coun-
ties of Edgefeld and Laurens. This ORDER If carried
ont would have given 18 members of the Senate to
the Republicans and 10 to the Democrats and in the
House 60 to the Republicans and 81 to the Demo-
Gratis, making Democratic majority on joint ballot
of one As the Legislature counts the votes for Gov
ernor and Lieutenant-Goyernor and elects United
States Senator, the order would have secured the
choice of Democrats to those offices. The court also
took up the case of the Electors to-day and issued
rule on the board to show why they shouldnot
correct the statements OF the county canvasser by
the precinct returns in their possession.
Pending these proceedings of the court, the board
held session and issued certificates to all the
members of the Legislature, except for Laurens and
Edgefeld, thus securing majority of the Legisla-
ture to the Republican sde and securing the defeat
of Hampton and the election Of Chamberlain. The
board also issued certificates of election to the
HAYES and Wheeler electors and to all the Republi-
can State ticket. The board then adjourned sine
die. This action has created much excitement. bat
the citizens are determined to rely upon the courts,
and exhaust all legal means of redress.
