1t is generally conceded, in Washington.
by the firmest democrats, says the New
York Times, that Florida, like South Car
olna, is removed from the list of States
in dispute. The action of the Supreme
Court in that State has had sole reference
to the Governorship, and the Hayes Elec-
toral vote is not directly or indirectly at
tackled. This being the case, public at
tention will be concentrated on Louisiana
where both branches of Congress have
committees at work. Their reports will
be awaited with interest.

The editors who are impressed with
the significance of the 'immense popular
majority" which Mr.. Tiden received,
should ponder for few moments
upon the following pregnant para
graph which occurs in one of Mr.. Red
fields letters: 1.-The reason that Tilden
has popular majority Of PAL .46l over
Hayes is because large portion of the
black vote in the cotton States has been
suppressed, or made to vote the ticket
they hate. This is a fair estimate of the
suppressed vote, Including also those who
were compelled TO vote for Tilden against
their will: Alabama, $4,000: Georgia,
10000; Louisiana, $4,000; Mississippi,
10000; Sonth Carolina, $4,000; Texas,
40, 900; total, 253,0O0. This cuts away
Tilden's boasted popular majority" en-
tirely With perfectly fair election he
would have no majority, either upon the
popular vote or in the Electoral College.
Mississippi when all her legal voters have
a voice, is as emphatically republican as
Massachusetts. She was carried for Til
