tives the vote would be taken by
States, the representation from each
State having n vote A quorum for
this purpose would consist of a mem
bers from two-thirds Of the States and
a majority OF all the States would be
necessary to q choice. The political
classification of the thirty-eight States
rs represented in the present House
gives the Democrats twenty one votes
and the Republicans sixteen, with one
State (Illinois) doubtful by reason
of neither Democrats nor Republicans
having q majority in the representa-
ton. 1t will thus be seen that il the
President is elected by States tho DEM
ocrats will have a majority of five.

the United States Is to be governed in
accordance with the Constitution and
bylaws or by the dictates of his per-
sonal will and pleasure. The House
of Representatives fortunately is about
to assemble, and charges against the
President must forthwith be prepared
and presented by the House to the
Senate for violating the law and his
oath of office by ordering his War Sec
rotary, Cameron, to send troops to
South Carolina Tor purposes specified
in his order. With these there must
also lie prepared and presented charges
against Cameron for executing the or.
der against which it was his duty to
have resigned rather than execute.
Similar charges also should I've prepared
and presented against every Cabinet
Minister who can he proved 10 have
committed or aided in preparing the
order. |: it san I've proved that neith-
or Grant MOI any member of his Cab
met gave the orders jusIifying the use
to which the troops were put at Col
umbia, then every officer who is re.
~.ponsible for the conduct OF troops
NUT be put to trial by court martial.
If under existing legislation it can be
shown that the President has the power,
in the judgment of the Senate, for what
he done, the country mus be solemnly
informed of the fact that an issue may
be i%ntelligently made upon changing
our laws. 1t is the belief, we venture
10 say, of nine men out of ten of all
parties, that he has do such power. and
that he ought TO have no such power,
but the country must be finally, def
nitely and decisively brought to front
this matter and to front il at once be-
fore another step can be taken or so
much as meditated in this pathway
upon which just "a much progress has
now been made AS is III any way con-
sistent with our institutions, with II
honor and with our prosperity as a

omitted votes in Clay county, which
appear on the face of the returns from
that county but are not added up in
the general result, because it Is no
in evidence that the inspectors and
clerks were sworn, but the twenty
three votes will probably tie counted
by common consent. ibis would
leave a majority OF 10 for the Repub-
lican Electors.
The county that made the only vio-
lent inroad on the Democratic alcula-
tons was Baker. They had a regu-
lsrly certified copy of the returns from
that county giving a Democratic ma
lority of 81. This return was regular,
and it was thought final, but this
morning a new return WAS received,
signed by the Judge and Sheriff but
not the County Clerk, which. by the
throwing out of several Democratic
precincts, gave the Republicans a ma
jority Of Al, making a difference of 1876
votes. The Democrats were astOunded
at this alteration, and will probably
produce ths precinct returns to show
that i is all incorrect return. UpOn
completing the counting of the rev.
turns the board adjourned until 4
O'Clock p. NJ.
NEW YORK, Nov. 90.
A Herdld's Tallahassee special as
serts that the Baker county Judge re-
fused to canvass the election returns
with the County Clerk and Justice of
the Peace. and the two latter made the
v and returned Tilden a major
ity Of 95 instead of Al for Hayes, as the
returns accepted by tho board gave it.
The Tribune special referring 10 the
case says: Upon no construction of
the statute is this Tilden certificate Of
the Clerk a return. In the absence or
refusal to act of the Clerk, the County
Judge may call in the Sheriff, but in
no contingency can the Clerk aud 4
Justice Of the Peace without either the
County Judge or Sheriff canvass or
make return of a county. The third
day after the election, taking advan-
tage of the absence for a day of the
county J udgethe Clerk procured Jus
tice of the Peace and pretended to can
vass the returns, and made up the GER
tificate which is now presented by the
Democrats. No Judge or Sheriff he.
ing present when The pretended can
vass took place, it is utterly without
legal validity.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 30.
This afternoon an unknown
living in the upper Of a lodging
house on the corner of Kearny and
Broadway, seized "a little Italian hoy
about five years old, who visited her
peddling ducks, and flung him
u of the window a distance Of rs feet
into the cellar-way. The boys injuries
are probably fatal. The woman has
not vet been arrested.
A young woman aged Is, wife of
Nicholas Peterson, of Stanford Stables,
Oakland Point, Was probably fatally
burned yesterday by the explosion Of
coal oil with which she was kindling a
fire. She ran screaming into the street
with her clothes hIazing. where the
neighbors caught her and exiinguished
the flames, but not until she was liter

the Fourth district. Secretary OF State
Beck is holding back the canvass of
the Congressional vote, though tho re-
turns from Marin county have been
received by mail at his Office and there
Is nothing 20 prevent All immediate
canvass. The delay, however, is prob.
ably to give time for the District Court
at Monterey to decide as to whether
the clerk in San Lorenzo precinct has a
right to correct Ri footing of
the returns after they had been certi-
fled to 10y the supervisors, as on that
question depends a majority for either
Pacheco or Wigginton.
M. ID. Boruck, Secretary of the Re
publican State Central Committee, in
Inmates that pressure is being brought
upon the Secretary of State not to Isl
sue a certificate to Pacheco, thus put
ting the burden of the contest on him.
Pacheco himself, in an interview,
says that Secretary Beck admitted 10
him that he was elected, but that
yielding to the pressure of party
friends he could not at present issue
his certificate. One report in this con-
nection is that Gov. Irwin, Wigginton
and Attorney General Hamilton have
had a secret consultation wnh the view
OF bringing pressure enough to bear
upon Markley, Clerk of Monterey
county, to induce him to issue an.
other return to tho Secretary of
State, giving the original figures
AS returned by the Board of Super.
~visors, and That Mr.. Beck will then

years for setting fire to Piper's Opera

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. %.
In the Returning Board to. day Judge
Spoiford suggested that the board give
an order compelling the Supervisors
from Franklin. Grant, Livingston, La
fayette and Tangipahoe parishes 70
hand In their returns. In these par
ishes there were large Democratic ma.
jorities, and by holding back the re-
turns, contrary to law, the Supervisors
might make or unmake the Governor
or President.
Gov. Wells said If the votes were
not here they could not be counted.
The board was entirely independent OF
the supervisors, aud even copies could
not be received. He would give an
order to the supervisors If the returns
were not produced by Wednesday.

CHICAGO, Nov. 90.
Gen. Sheridan arrived this morning
from New Orleans. He states that the
stories of intimii ation have not been
overdrawn and can not be. There was,
he says, really nc election in many
parishes, the form being merely a
blind for frauds, which will be clearly
proven. Attempts were made to wreck

laid, but in each case the engineers
vigilance averted the calamity which
might have resulted.

CAUGHT AT Ir.-The following dis
patch, which we copy from an ex-
change, for some reason failed to reach
us among the regular press report:
1.-THE returns from De Soto parish
we're brought in, contained in one
package sealed with wax. When the
seals were broken by members OF the
board there were found inside the con-
solidated votes. In the Commission
ers' statement and the tally sheets at
tached to the returns were a large
number of protests and affidavits, which
the Secretary Of the board said were
received here on the 18th, but it was
discovered that one OF them was dated
the 25th-to-day. In explanation ofthis
he said he had received two packages.
One of the Democratic counsel present
detected him in the act of making an
entry on his book Of another package
received. Another package was pro-
duced, containing the consolidated re-
turns but no protests. Members OF
the committee being unable to explain
the matter, Senator Sherman (Rspub-
lican) said it was useless in attempting
to disguise the fact hat the returns
had been opened and protests inserted,
which created a great sensation. The
Democrats openly charged fraud, and
the Republicans did not deny it. The
affair had a very peculiar aspect. The
things have occurred before to-day,
when they were not admitted to dis.
cuss the frauds.
