NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-The Herald, ed
itorially commenting upon what 1t calls
the disgracefully tampering with re-
turns in Louisiana, says the evidence
was conclusive that the Supervisor and
some one else had opened them and
placed in the package the affidavit. 1t
commends Senator Sherman for his hon.
est expression of opinion that the prot
est was smuggled into the envelope in
New Orleans, but is puzzled
to conceive how he could
have added that he doubted ii it was
done with criminal intent. 1t says,
"How such fraud could have been
done with an honest intent passes COM
prebension. 1t is the duty OF all Re
publicans present from other States to
denounce such frauds and warn the per-
petrators that they will ruin the party
If they do not make an honest count Of
the votes. II they elect President by
such knavery they will soon realize the
truth OF very old maxim, that 'the
triumph Of the wicked is short.'"
The Tribune, in an editorial under the
caption The Difference" says: Neither
party, it is TO be feared, is over-scrupu-
lous just now, and yet it is to observed
that in these Southern States in dispute
there was prima facie reason to expect
Republican majorities. That party may
fairly claim therefore to be trying to
hold only what it honestly believes to
be its own. In contrast to this it refers
to the efforts of the Democrats
to secure the election OF Democratic
Electors in Oregon, Vermont and
Rhode Island on the ground OF the ineli-
gibility of the chosen Electors, whose
election is not disputed, and asks II this
looks as though the Democratic party
was trying to hold only what it honestly
believes TO be its own. 1t says, in fact,
this is about the difference-that the
Republicans in the disputed Southern
States are trying to hold what they hon.
estly believe they got, while the Demo-
Gratis in the Northern States are trying
by hair.splitting technicalities to grasp
what they know the people never in.
tended they should have.
The Next Congress.
NEW YORK, Nov. H,-The World from
the latest advices received, says it is
not possible precisely to state how the
Senate, the Republicans will have a
round majority. The House will prob
ably stand 1853 Democratic to 1873 Repub-
lican, loss Of % to the Democrats.
South Carolina.
COLUMBIA, Nov. 27.-The Canvassing
Board, which was imprisoned for con.
tempt of Court by the Supreme Court,
remained in Jail this morning. 1t is ex-
pected that Judge Bond, OF United States
Circuit Court, will release them on
habeas corpus, but he refuses to either
affirm or deny the rumor to that effect
A large proportion of the Legislature
elect is here and the city Is filled with
visitors. The Legislature meets to-
morrow and serious trouble over the
organization of the house is appre.
hended, for upon the organization oil
that body depends the governmentsnip

NEW YORK. Nov. 27. - The Herald
special from Columbia, 8. g., says
every thing is in feverish state OF ex
citement. Corbin will probably be held
in contempt to-day, and be debarred
from the privilege Of practice in the
State Courts. 1t Is believed that Judge
Bond will release the members OF the
Board OF Canvassers ON sham technical
grounds; the purpose being the capture
of the Electoral votes Of the State fol
the Republican ticket, and, by the aid oi
troops, effect Republican organization
of the Legislature. The indications are
that Federal bayonets will surround
the State-house on Tuesday. All this
will create terrible excitement, and pos.
slbly precipitate bloodshed.
