New YORK, Nov. 2S.--INe Herald's
Columbia, S. g., dispatch says Gen.
Ruger arrived there at ten o'clock
last night, and at midnight three
companies of U. S. Infantry were
quartered in the State House.
The democratic members of the
Legislature held a caucus yesterday
and last night to select candidates
for Speaker and other officers.
The Herald's Raleigh, N. e., special
says Col. Thomas Keogh, Chairman
of the Republican State Central Com
mittee. last night filed q protest with
Governor Borden against the an
nouncement of the vote of North Car
DINA for Presidential electors. He
announced that there were twenty
three counties to which he objects,
on the grounds of illegal returns. He
claims that the throwing out of these
counties will, with the omission of
the eight counties yet to be heard
from, give the state to Hayes.
Col. Keogh further alleges that w.
b. Glenn, o democratic elector from
the Seventh district, is ineligible, be-
ing a Commissioner, under the act
establishing the Southern Claims
Commission.
"A Tallahassee dispatch says that
Gov. Stearns claims that fair re-
turn will show AZ majority for Hayes.
This estimate includes the 2l9 Ala
chua county votes, which it seems to
be agreed will not be counted, and
twelve votes of acknowledged over
count in Jefferson City, which will
certainly not be counted. Admitting
these 23l votes the democrats still
claim Isl majority for Tilden. There
is not q difference of ten votes be.
tween any Of the electors.

Of her death was an accident that hap

milking cow, when the latter jump

severely, and has resulted fatally
She was in delicate condition, and
suffered silently, and, it is now known,
terribly, until Tuesday last, when a
physician was called and she was de-
livcred of dead child. DR.. Sloan,
the attending physician, says she was
insensible from Tuesday until death.

and it was found impossible to reduce

poisoning. A council of physicians
was called, composed of Drs. Cornell

A Protest.


COLUMBIA, Nov. 27.-The following
dispatch, signed by Senator Gordon,
of Georgia, Senator johnson, of Vir-
ginia, General Wade Hampton, sew
cral Circuit Judges, a large number
of State Senators, Representatives,
white and colored, and many other
prominent citizens of this state, has
just been sent to the President of the
United States:
awe, the undersigned, visitors from
a distance, and committee of the Dem
ocratic members elect to the South
Carolina Legislature, Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee. and citizens, hav-
ing just seen by the associated press
dispatches that Governor Chamber
lain has applied for United States
troops to be placed under his orders
at the assembling Of the Legislature
tomorrow, send this, our solemn
protest, against the troops being
placed under the command of Gov.
Chamberlain. We have no objection
to the presence of troops, and will
cooperate with them in preserving
the peace, but we protest against the
uSO Va lHC 1HllCl FJtdtcS ATIuy In
controlling the organization Of the
Legislature and enforcing the inaug-
ration of Gov. Chamberlain, who has
been defeated by the white and col
ored voters at the ballot box. There
is not the rcmotest danger of dis
turbancc Of the democrats, and if it
occurs it will be at the instigation Of
Gov. Chamberlain, whose partisans
have taken the only lives lost in the
late exciting canvass i'm this state.
Not ono drop of blood has been shed
in a political disturbance except by
republicans. 1t is literally true that
the democrats received their largest
majoritics in the counties where the
Z. S. troops were stationed. What
prctensc, therefore, is there for Gov.
Chamberlain's demand? Were the
troops to keep the peace? We refer
for confirmation of these statements
to the commanders of the U. S. forces
at this place and elsewhere in this
state.

louisiana Returning eoare,

New ORLEANS, Nov. 25.-In the re-
turning board, Gov. Wells gave no.
tice that he must dispense with the
reading protests or motions before the
board. All evidence must be i'm be-
fore the close of next week or the
board would not conclude its work.
Col. Zacharie asked about the appoint
ment of q democrat on the board and
Wells said none had been made.
Zacharie said it was more necessary
20 have one at the close of dclibcra-
tions.
Gov. Wells intimatcd that tic DEM
ocrats had lost the right to reprcscn-
tation on the board by the resignation
of Arrayo, but the board would fill
the vacancy lift could agree upon any
one. Discussion ensucd as 10 the re-
turns from Franklin Parish, which
were yet in the Southern Express
Office, Wells saying that the members
Of the board had no funds to pay
charges, and would not disturb them.
Zacharie offered to furnish the
requisite sum, Is cents.
McGloin asked if the democrats
would be allowed to cross-interro-
gate Clover, Supervisor of East Bat
on Rouge and three corroborativc af-
fidayits were presented.
Gov. Wells said yes; but the pro-
ceedings of the board would not be
obstructed under any consideration.
Much discussion ensued regarding
what privileges would be accorded
the counsel andfthc board then went
into executive session.
In the executive session the board
called returns and announced the vote
from the consolidated statements !:
Desoto, Hayes, SOS; Tildcn, 1906 ;
Ouachita, Hayes, 1893; Tilden, 1869 ;
Lincoln, Hayes, %; Tildcn, l,O64 ;
East Felicina, Hayes, none; Tilden,
1887; West Fclicina, Hayes, IT'S; Til
den, l,249; Richland, Hayes, 277 (;
Tilden. $40; Caddo, Hayes, 2,6S7 Til
den, l,654; Sabine, Hayes, %; Tilden
9O6. The votes of these parishes were
not canvasssed, the contests were fix
ed for hearing the next week, when
the returns from the parishes marked
contested were opened. The demo-
cratic counsel.werc allowed to be pres
cnt. Returns from Desota parish
were brought in contained in one
package sealed with wax. When the
seals were broken by the members of
the board, there were found inside
the consolidated votes, commission
ers' statements and tally sheets. At
tachcd to the returns were large
number of affidayits, etc. The Sec. of
the board said the returns were re-
ceived on the 18th inst, but it was
discovered that one of the aflidavits
was dated to-day.
In explanation of this he said he
had received two packages. One Of
the democratic counsel present de-
tccted him in the act of making an
other entry on his book of another
package received. Another package
was produced containing consolidat-
ed returns, but no protests. The
members of the committee being I'M
able TO explain the matter, Senator
Sherman, republican, said it was use
less to longer attempt to disguise the
returns. They had been opened and
protests inserted here. Sensation.
Democrats openly charged fraud and
republicans did not deny the affair
had peculiar aspect. Democratic
counsel claim that similar things have
occurred before to-day, when they
were not admitted to discuss the
frauds.

Ti,den and t,endrick a.

New York, Nov. 25.-The 1yiJane
says in his interview with Tilden last
night, Hendricks said that public SEN
timent in the western states, in regard
to the election, was SO strong that he
was compelled to come east to ascer-
tain the condition of public feeling
here. lie expressed his admiration
of the conduct of southern democrats
who without the least manifestation
of turbulence had appealed every
where to the courts and was glad
both in the west and on his journey
hitherward, to notice the disposition
ofall parties to have matters AMIGA
bly, and lawfully settled. He felt that
their cause was just and would ulti-
mately triumph by will of the Amer
lean people.
Gov. Tilden fully concurred with
all of Hendricks remarks and there
appeard to be a perfect accord of
ideas in regard to the questions OF
the hour. While there seemed to be
a lack OF confidence in the doings OF
the returning boards in the south, no
disposition was manifested on the
part Of either Tilden or Hendricks to
enter upon decided plan of action.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. 27.-On an
application for writs of Udbeds Co.,
pas the Board of State Canvassers
were brought, this morning, into the
U. S. Circuit Court, Judges Bond

asked for time to make returns to the
