FA. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1876. MCOBB OF Ml TUB PUBLISHING WMPAM. The Republican electors had a dear majority even after including in the count the fraudulent Democratic returns from Edgefield, Laurens and other localities, where the shotgun policy had disfranchised almost every Republican voter. This Hampton-Cordon conspiracy to overthrow the wclrk of the legal board of canvassers, arid issue certificates of election to the defeated Tilden candidates for electors will not succeed.

The strong arm of thej national authority will defend the cause bf justice and protect the honest verdict of the people of South Carolina as rendered at the ballot-box.

A mere report that Tilden was probably chosen president had tbe effect of bringing the old Confederate bonds to the surface again in Europe. Of course such a revival of those stocks on tbe other side is nothing to the people of the United States, but it is a forcible illus tration that many people in Europe continue to make distinction whatever Jbetween the purposes of the Democratic party to-day and the men who carried on the rebellion against the Union. In their estimation the Democracy of today is the same as it was 1800 and they are not far from correct, either, for that matter. THE COAL TRADE.

The heretofore disputed congressional districts, like the doubtful states, are beginning to come in 'With Republican majorities.

In the Third Massachusetts the final re-count shows that Walbridge A. Field.Republican.is elected by five majority over Benjamin Dean his Democratic opponent. Ia the Third district of Missouri, the Republican candidate, Mr. Lyons Metcalf, comes up with a majority, which even the Democrats, hard as they struggled, could not deny him, and he has secured the certificate. In the Fourth Virginia, Dr.

Jorgensen, the Republican nominee had nearly fifteen hundred majority, but the Democrats of the Old Dominion wanted a solid delegation and attempted to count him out. They found this impossible without committing frauds that could not be concealed because of their magnitude, so they reluctantly conceded the certificate to Dr. Jorgensen. If the Democrats have a majority at all in the Forty-Fifth congress it will be a precious slim one and will have been secured by counting out Republicans elected in some of the Southern states. GOV.

PALMER'S INDIGNATION. Some of the Democratic organs are evidently disgusted with Gov. Palmer's "chicken -heartedness." Palmer is one of the Northern Democrats who went to New Orleans to see that there was a fair count. The other day when the Republicans brought the woman Pinkaton in to give her testimony as to the murder of her husband and child, and her own wrongs at the hands of white Democrats, Gov.Palmer sprang to his and denounced in the most bitter language the fiends who had been guilty of such crimes. The Democrats of New Orleans were surprised to see a fellow-Democrat B) worked-up by an incident that to them had long since ceased to be revolting.

To the average White Leaguer of Louisiana the killing of a "nigger" has come to be a species of everyday-affair. They have become hardened to the sight of negro blqpd. According to the evi dence of General John R. Brooke, the murder of colored men became so frequent before the election that the Democratic managers notified the coroners that they must not continue to hold inquests in such cases; They did not want any official record of these murders, it caused too much comment, and the coro ners Governor Palmer and other Northern Democrats went to New Orleans evidently believing that the Northern Democratic sneers at what they called the "outrage mill," were all right that Southern intimidation, outrage and murder was a myth. But when they were confronted with stretchers bearing the maneled and wounded forms of some of the victims of Southern Demo cratic policy, they shrank back with horror and gave involuntary vent to their indignation.

The Democratic leaders of New Orleans are now busy "explaining" to Governor Palmer, and endeavoring to convince him that the whole thing is a "put up job." At last accounts Palmer had. not yet bten thoroughly "convinced" that negroes had done all the intimidating and perpetrated the outrages and murders upon their own race in Louisiana! THE SITUATION TO-DAY. Thanksgiving Day caused no interruption in the progress of political affairs in the three Southern States which are now attracting the attention of the entire country. The situation remains practically uuchanged since our last publication. In South Carolina the contest between the legitimate house of representatives and the bogus organization effected by the Democratic minority of the body has not yet been finally settled, but may be regarded as progressing toward a settlement.

Yesterday, the so-called Hampton house, instead of meeting in a building outside the state capitol, at eleven o'clock marched into the hall of the house of representatives and took possession. An hour later the legal body assembled in the same room, and the strange spectacle of a species of double-barreled legislature was presented. Nothing was accomplished, but notice was served upon the Democratic claimants from Edgefield and Laurens counties that to-day they would not be granted admission to the hall. In view of this condition of affairs, it is probable that the said claimants will be ejected in one way or another if they insist upon occupying seats. Whether this work will be done by military or civil authority remains to be seen.

It has evidently been the set policy of the Democratic leaders in South Carolina to court military intervention so as to enable Hampton, Gordon and Company to raise a hue and cry against the national administration, by indulging in martyr like appeals to the country against "federal military interference in the affairs of a sovereign state." It has been aasud heretofore, that the Democrats in South Carolina were making their desperate attempts to subvert law, order and peace, for the sole purpose of securing the inauguration of Wade Hampton as Governor. Primarily this was, dftbtles, their object, but within the past few days it has transpired that Hampton, Gordon and their followers, acting under instructions from the Tilden managers in New York, were really engaged in a conspiracy to steal the electoral vote of South Carolina for Tilden, and that the Inauguration of Wade Hampton and the securing of a majority in the lower house of the legislature were only the necessary preliminaries to the accomplishment of this purpose. The infamy of such a conspiracy can only be fathomed when viewed In connection with the fact thSt in counting the vote of the state for Presidential electors, the board of canvassers admitted and counted everything claimed by the Democrats. failed to overcome the majority given the Republican candidates for electors. The situation la Florida is altogether favorable.

The Democrats having been beaten on the count of the vote are now assailing the returns from counties that gave Republican majorities. The Returning Board counted the vote as it was presented to them by the County Can vassers, and the: result was a clear majority for the entire Republican Electoral ticket. This astonished the Democratic managers; they had "raised" the vote in many Democratic counties to such an extent that they felt certain the aggregate would show a majority for the Tilden electors on the face of the returns. They discovered that the Republican majority was even larger thaiij they had anticipated, and consequently they had not raised" sufficiently high. Then the Tilden leaders promptly assailed the returns in one of the Republican counties, charging that; there had been cast only about half as many votes for the electors as was shown by the returns.

The Republicans met this attack with the afhdavit of every man in the county who had voted the Republican ticket. The county being a small one, and the entire vote not exceeding five hundred, this was easily ac complished. Now.of course, the Democrats are attackingjthe afridavits.claiming that they are forged, but the Republicans are fully prepared to repel all such attacks with the stern logic of truth and facts. The electoral vote of Florida, like that of South Carolina, will be cast for Hayes Wheeler, as the majority of the people of those states intended they shouldbe. In Louisiana the revelations made be fore the Board of Canvassers, of inexpres sible crimes perpetrated by the white Democracy, shock humanity and civili zation.

Our columns have already con tained details of some of the revolting infamies committed in the cause of De mocracy and for the success Tilden. The story of crime and savagery related by Mrs.Pinkston astonished even the North ern Democrats who were present to see that the board acted fairly, and it has hor rified humanity everywhere in the land. But the outrages to which she testified, revolting as they were, is not the strongest testimony presented to show that there was no free or fair election held in many of the parishes in Louisiana. Gen. John R.

Brooke, of the regular army, made a statement that covers more ground, and that gives the details of a system of ter ror and intimidation, or outrages and cruelty upon the colored people, that shows more clearly any evidence previously presented, by what means the White Men's Party of Louisiana endeavored to secure the vote of that state for Tilden and Hendricks. Gen. Brooke swears thatj months before the election the Democrats instituted a system of outrages, cruelty and intimidation, frequently resulting in murder, and that these wrongs were perpetrated for the purpose of compelling the negroes either to vote with the Democratic party or not vote at all. Gen. John R.

Brooke is a Pennsylvanian and during the, war commanded the 53rd regiment of Pennsylvania volunteers. What his politics now are we do not know, but. before the war he was known as a Democrat His statement before the Board of Canvassers will be implicitly believed by every Pennsylvanian who knows the man. He) states only what' came under his own observation as an officer stationed in Louisiana during the past two years. The poor hunted negroes, driven from their homes, persecuted, and threatened with death as the penalty of adher-ance to heir political convictions, in many instances sought protection and received lit at the hands of General Brooke.

The evidence is overwhelming that in many parishes in Louisiana there was no free election. The White Democrats drove the colored Republicans out of the parishes, and threatened them with death if they appeared at the polls and attempted to vote any other than the Democratic ticket. The result of this policy could not be other than Democratic majorities in overwhelmingly Republican districts. The question is whether such returns shall be reserved to decide a presidential election. Is Samuel J.

Tilden prepared to accept the Presidential chair of this great republic, as a trophy reeking with the blood of innocent citizens; a victory achieved at the sacrifice of that fundamental principle upon which the government itself is bassed a free and fair ballot. The crimes perpetrated in Louisiana and other Southern stales in the cause of Samuel J. Tilden, are a damnable stain upon our country, upon the great cause of popular government, upon the civilization of the ninteenth century, upon humanity itself. CONFEDERATE BONDS. How closely foreign countries identify the Democratic party of the United States with the Confederate Lost Cause and all that pertains to the rebellion has been clearly exemplified in numerous cases since the late Presidential election.

The election was held on the 7th of last Oa the 8th the news was cabled to Europe that Tilden was probably elected. On that day the correspondent of the Dundee, (Scotland) AdctriUtr wrote to that paper as follows "Although tbe result ot tbe Presidential election was mot positirely known In tbe city today.
