No Further News-
As far as we have been able
to learn there a' e no new devel-
opments in the political situa-
tion, save that the Supreme
Court of South Carolina has de-
cided that the duties of the Re-
turning Board of that State are
ministerial only, and that they
can only open and count the
vote and are not empowered to
pass upon the legality of any
vote. South Carolina is claimed
by the Democrats by from sev-
en to nine hundred majority,
and may yet settle the question.
There is no later news from Lou-
isiana. The situation there re.
mains unchanged, as far as we
are advised. We hope in a day
or two more, at the farthest,
to lay before our readers the fi-
nal settlement of the vexed ques-
tion.
The Prize Villain of History.
Apropos of Fiesclii’s attempt
to blow up Louis Philippe, M.
Maxime Ducamp relates a horri-
ble story regarding of the ac
complices af that time, who was
not prosecuted. The conspira-
tor had a child a year old, and
on the day of the attempt he
told the nurse to go with the in
fant and to wait in front ot the
Jardiu-Ture, in the Boulevard
du Temple, to see the King pass.
It was at this spot that the in-
fernal machine exploded. The
conspirator reasoned tnns : “If
arrested I shall be able to de-
clare before the court, that hav-
ing sent my only son to the
place designed for the explosion
I could not have known any-
thing of the matter, and I shall
certainly be acquitted by the
jury.” This monster, whose
name is not revealed, was not
arrested, and strange to say, his
child and nurse escaped without
a scratch. “The hero of this
tale,” addsM. Maxime Ducamp,
“is still considered by his party
as un hornme tres fort.—London
Telegraph.
—A Dutchman, summoned to
identify a stolen hog, being asked
if the hog had any ear-marks,
replied, “ I'e only ear mark dat
I saw vas his tail vas cut off.”
What Will Be Done in Louis^
iana ?
If there ever has been a doubt
about what the Louisiana re
turning board will do in count-
ing the returns o the election in
that State, it is dissipated at
last. Mr. Redfield* the candid
and wellinformed correspond-
ent of the Cincinnati Commercial
tells us “the board will give
Hayes a majority of not less
than 1,100.” They will do this
by “throwing out the five par-
ishes where the blacks were so
thoroughly intimidated,” and
“thus restering to these parish-
es the proper Republican ma-
jorities which they had two
years ago.” Let us examine
this extraordinary statement.
First—It informs us that “the
returning board will give Hayes
a majority” of votes cast in
Louisiana which the people of
Louisiana themselves neYer
gave him. What authority
have they to “give” votes to
a presidential candidate, and
where they get the votes they
“give” away so lavishly, are
questions that we need a little
light on.
Second—It seems the board
assumes to require that a par-
ish shall vote exactly in 1876 as
it voted four years ago ; if it
ventures to vote differently, the
board will discard the returns
entirely, and restore the old vote
ot 1872. To apply this rule to
St. Louis county would restore
the proper Democratic majority
of2.000, elect the whole Demo-
cratic county ticket, and deprive
Ittner and Metcalfe of their
seats in the next Congress. To
apply it elsewhere would “give”
New York, Indiana, Connecti-
cut, Arkansas, Alabama, New
Jersey and North Carolina to
Ilayes, since they voted for
Grant in 1872, and the logic of
the board is that everybody
who voted the Republican tick-
et four years ago must be count
ed for Hayes now.
Third—It is said that in these
parishes whose votes are to be
thrown out, the colored voters
were intimidated by the wnites
and forced to vote for Tilden.
But right here Mr. Redfield
states a most important fact,
viz: that “in the five intimida-
ted parishes the number of white
registered voters is 5,074 and
black 12,904, or more than doa-
ble !” It is assumed, therefore*
that a minority of 5,074 whites
have “intimidated” a majority of
12,904 into voting for Tilden, and
that it is the duty of this patriot-
ic body of five obscure persons*
A Georgia school master ai - called the Louisiana returning
nounees that he will be obliged
to close his school unless the
young men of the district limit
their courting of his young lady
pupils to three nights in a week.
“It’s a proof of the singular
operation of the human mind,”
says a mental philosopher, “that
when two men accidentally ex-
change hats, the one who gets
the worst tile is always the first
to discover the mistake.”

—A foolish beau threatened to
commit suicide if a certain young
lady wouldn’t marry him, and
told her of it to her face. “Oh,
well,” said she, “after you shall
have given me that proof of
your affection, I will believe that
your love was genuine.”
—A country dealer sent to In-
dianapolis for a copy of a little
book called “Happy Husbands.”
The work not being procurable,
the country dealer received a
note, stating that there were no
“Happy Husbands” in Indian-
apolis.
—An old author quaintly re-
marks, “avoid argument with
ladies. In spinning yarns among
silks and satins a man is sure to
be worsted and twisted, and
when worsted and twisted he
may consider himself wound up.
—Never, except upon one oc-
cacion, was a prominent editor
of a newspaper ol Milwaukee
known to take a joke, and that
was the other day at noon,when
the boys inked his spectacles,
and sent him home with a lan-
tern to a apologize to his land-
lady for being out till midnight.
board, to vindicate the rights of
the intimidated 12,904 blacks by
counting their votes for Hayes.
The country will bear in mind
that this self-evident lie about
“intimidation” is the sole ground
on which five persons in Lou-
isiana are preparing to debar
Gov. Tilden from an office to
which a majority of nearly
4,000,000 voters have chosen
him.—St. Louis Republican.

—The Boston Herald gives
notice to the winning party, re-
gardless of which it is, that it
will have a strong opposition to
watch and warn it. The New
York Post also notes the re-
markable closeness of the result
in the effect it will have on the
winning man, which will be that
as nearly half of the American
people voted against, him, as
did the other half for him, caa-
tion and steadiness of adminis-
tration may be expected.
