In reply to the statement that lie CO.

an interviewer:
"The statement is not true. ! believe
most honestly and most firmly that Gov
ernor Tilden has been elected. / be-
lieve that these two houses will some
how work it out TO that result. / did
say, do say this: Rather than have a
civil war should prefer 4 new election.
prefer ballots to bullets"
A special says that Mr. Hewitt's words
voice the sentiments Of large majority
ofTilden's supporters in Congress. They
believe Tilden has been elected and be-
leye Congress will so decide. They
say: Better fight than the loss ofour
form government, but better q new
election than a fight" The conspira
tors may force a new election by declar-
ing that or a fight to be the only alter

public that Il win continue TO realize
the happiest results that can be desired.
In almost every section Of country
there are persons, publicly known, who
have been restored from alarming and
even desperate diseases OF the lungs,
by its use. All who have tried Il ac-
knowledge its superiority; and where
its virtues are known, no one hesitates
rs TO what medicine to employ to re-
lieye the distress and suffering peculiar
10 pulmonary affections. CHERRY PFC
ToRAL always affords instant relief, and
performs rapid cures OF the milder va
rieties of bronchial disorder, as well as
the more formidable diseases of the
lungs.
AS q safeguard to children, amid
the distressing diseases which besOt
the Throat and Chest of Childhood, ft
Is inYaluablei for, by its timely use,
multitudes are rescued and restored to
health.
This medicine gains friends at
every trial, as the cures 1t Is constantlR

4 Washington despatch announces q
kiuk in the Florida muddlc. and .
kno;,y question for lawyers 20 try their
brain on. BY the changein the stake adj
ministration in Florida the returning
board went out Of existence on 2nl inst.
BY very singular manipulations Of the
returns they counted the democratic
state candidates in, bu. gave the eleeio>
ralvo,e 20 Hayes. This done they pass
cd on. of official existence. The cues
ton IS now raised whether the supreme
court Of the state has the right 10 order
the democratic state officers who form,
under the law Of Florida, the present
and new returning board to reclnyass
she electoral vote. On this point law
yers are uncertain. Ifthe court has no
such right then OF course, so far rs state
action Is concerned, the states vote
stands for Hayes. The question isa very
interesting one, and may become Of i'm
P5rtance.
The supreme court consists Of three
judges, all sound lawyers, and bcliyel to
be good men. Two are republicans and
one OF democratic anieccdents.
