The "long telegram is so full of matter for re-

most careful rea6ing. Like all the rest of MIR.
Smith Weeds confidential communications, there is
q plainness about it which is almost refreshing.
This veteran politicians not the victim of enthusi-
asms or delusions. Never for one moment does he
pretend to believe that his client has good cause
Never for one moment does he conceal from the

yers in Columbia and its newspaper organs all over

Radical villany to assert that the duty of Can.

vortex Of the excitement, Mr.. Tildens own man sits
down quietly to count the returns on their face"
and finding that Mr.. Tilden is defeated, even when
the votes of the bull-dozed counties are included
he telegraphs: This may compel us to change

all hopes Of victory upon getting the board" As
soon as they got" the board, they were ready to
turn right about face, and clam for it the very
powers which they were then begging the court to
forbid its exercising And this, as we shall see IN
the sequel, is what they actually did! The Demo-
crats of South Carolina will be edited by the dis
covery that Mr.. Smith Weed proposed. after "get-
ting" the board TO count in Tilden by sacrificing
some of the local candidates and there are several
indications, in the course of the correspondence,
that the relations between the Tilden clique and
the Hampton managers were by no means cordial
or confidential.
"GETTING THE BOARD. CERTAIN"
The arrangements for getting the Board GER
TAIN" seem to have met with entire appreciation in
New York, although, with characteristic caution
Mr.. Pelton's principal urged Weed to "try and
make one portion payable after votes cast and
another portion after final result adding some
touching observations on the subject of 4" good
fdith.p To the scheme for trading districts"
however. he saw awkward objections, and being a
man who values consistency, he expressed his views
