THE reduction of the price of admission re­ cently voted by the Board of Directors of the Chicago Industrial Exposition, from 50 cents, as heretofore charged, to 25 for adults and 15 oents for children, is to be commended as a wise measure. The great success of the Expo­ sition heretofore, through which the magnifi­ cent building and its appliances have been paid for out of the profits, has left the stockhold­ ers free from debt, and enabled the Directors to so reduce the price of admission as to in­ sure a large attendance and the annual recur­ rence of the industrial exhibition for years to come.

NEW ORLEANS, NOV. 23.--At the meeting of the Canvassing Board to-day, on motion of Gen. Anderson, the President of the board in­ structed the Secretary to issue orders to all Supervisors in the city to file their returns im­ mediately. The board completed the canvass of only three parishes, as follows : Natchitoches--Tilden, 1,761; Hayes, 2,099 ; Union--Tilden, 1.493; Hayes, 94; Iberville-- Tilden, 957 ; Hayes, 2,297. At one poll in Natchitoches the board threw out 542 votes for three Republican electors, and 173 votes for thrive Democratic electors, on account of informalities. The vote fer the five Republican electors in Natchitoches was 1,558. In Iberville the five Republican electors received only 1.848 votes instead of 2,297, owing to the omission of names on the ballots. NEW OKLEANS, Nov. 24.--The business before the Returning Board to-day consisted for the most part in iiearing documents, protests, and affidavits read, and was generally of an unim­ portant character. A communication was received from the newspaper correspondents in New Orleans, re­ questing permission to be present at the session of the boiird, which was refused. The board thereafter went into executive ses­ sion. Returns from three contested parishes--East Baton Rouge. St. Tammany and Iberia--were taken up. East list on Rouge has eighteen polling-places, but the returns when opened were from only seven. It is twelve hours dis­ tant from New Orleans. Returns from that parish were not sent by mail, and were not filed with the Returning Board till Nov. 23. Many of the affidavits charging Intimidation were sworn to in New Orleans, some of them as late as Nov. 22. The total vote of the parish, as ascertained from the returns of the Commissioners at the pvllirig-places, waB 2,238 for Tilden, and 1.626 for Hayes, but the Supervisor of Registration, by couBoiiuatmg tile returns from only seven polling-p'aces. leaving out tho other eleven, and omitting to send the original returns from the same, makes a return of only 1,101 votes for Tilden, and 1.427 for HayeB. Affidavits have been filed Btating that the Su­ pervisor in this parish, and In every other parish in the State, is a Republican ; that re­ turns from fourteen parishes are still miss­ ing ; that several of the missing returns were and had been in the city of New Orleans for days, in the hands of persona who were not Supervisors. * After much discussion, the returns of East Baton Rouge were laid aside. The only pari«h finished to-day was St. Mar­ tin, which gave Tilden 1,023 ; Hayes, 1,097, NEW ORLEANS. NOV. 25.--The Returning Board met at 11:30. Present for ti e Repub­ licans, Messrs.

Mrs. Allen of Calaveras, Cal., lives on the stage road between Railroad Flit and West Point, and she dreams strange dreams. On Oct. 24 her house was en­ tered by a robber during her absence, and her watch and pocketbook were stolen. Phat night she saw in her dream a thief enter her house, take the watch, and follow the trail up the river. In the morning she whistled for her dog, mounted her horse, anil followed the trad up stream. A ride of a mile brought her to an old abandoned quartz mill, and in the ruins sho discovered the man she had seen in her dream. She accused him of the theft, but he stoutly denied having committed it. She de­ termined to go to West Point for an officer, but after proceeding a short dis­ tance resolved to make the tramp give "P tbe plunder at all hazards. When she reached the mill the man had gone, but with the aid of the dog she overtook him about half a mile up the ridge. Dismounting and arming herself with u stoat club, she coolly informed hifn that sh« knew he ba<?the watch and money, fehe let loope the dog upon him, an-; dealt him a blow upon the head which jelled l*m to the grourd. She found her watch and her wall t in his boots Mrs. Allen of Calaveras then went home to sleep--perchance to dr.'am. • Times fiuyn that there is nothing more rash and <?angerqus than for an affectionate father to clasp his needle-fed daughter in his arms. the Supreme Court stating the persons who had received tho highest number of votes for the offices for which they were candidates, Appended to the report of results was the memorandum of the board stating that in their opinion certain irregularities which af­ fected some of the Republican candidates should be corrected, and also that the vote of Laurens and Edgfield counties, wnich gave large Democratic majorities, should be ex­ cluded on account of frauds and intimidations. This morning tho court made an order com­ manding the board to issue certificates of elec­ tion to all the persona who wnrn shown by the report of the bo&ru to have received the highest number of votes for members of the Legislature, includ­ ing the counties of Edgfield and Laurens. The court alfo to-day took up the case of the electors and issued a rale on the board to show cause why they should not correct tho state­ ments of the County Canvassers by the pre­ cinct returns in their possession. Pending these proceedings of the court, however, the board held a session and issued a certificate to S* --d ̂ r-- * •>. MdU VUV lUWUVV'l U W* IfUV V*VVf/W I*urens and Edgfield counties, thus securing a majority of the Legislature to the Republi­ can side and the defeat of Hampton and the election of Chamberlain. he board also issued certificates of election to the Hayes and Wheeler electors and to all the Republican State ticket. The board then adjourned nine die. This action of the lioard has created much excitement but the citizens are deter­ mined to rely on the courts and exhaust all legal means of redress. COLUMBIA, NOV. 23.--To-day the court issued an order reconvening the Board of Canvassers. It is not expected the Board will obey the or­ der. Considerable excitement is reported throughout the State, but there has been no demonstration of violence. The action of the Board of State Canvassers is considered final by tbe Republicans, while the Democrats hold it has no effect, because the whole question was in the hands of the Su­ preme Court and the board is guilty of contempt. They express a determi­ nation to continue the contest in the courts and bring matters to a conclusion there. Last night the Democratic counsel served a writ of mandamus issued yesterday by the court on tbe officials composing the board. The Su­ preme Court will meet to-morrow to hear the return of the board. H. W. Purvis, Adjutant and Inspector Gen­ eral, and member of the Board of Canvassers, savs he has resigned his office. COLUMBIA, 8. C., Nov. 24.--The State Su­ preme Cour thas issued a rule to the State Can­ vassers and their counsel, D. T. Corbin, to show cause why they should not be attached in violating a writ of prohibition issued on the 17th inst., and issuing oertifioates in defiance of the court <** The court convened at 4 p. m., in response to the rule issued at the morning session. United States District Attorney Corbin, coun­ sel for the board, introduced an affidavit, ask­ ing for further time. The oourt stated that if he would indicate the line of their defense or assure the court that they would obey its mandamus, further time would be granted. He would not do this, and the request was refused. The counsel for the relators were instructed to draw the order, but as a recitation of all the proceedings was required as a preface to the order to commit the board for contempt, they requested until to-morrow morning to file it. The court said that they hoped the board would in the morning obey its mandate and purge the contempt. If they do not they will be committed to j ail. The counsel for relators then moved that a peremptory mandamus issue to H E. Pavne, Secretary of State, to is->ue certificates to ell members of the General Assembly, including the counties of Edgefield and Laurens, in ac­ cordance with the order of the court of Wed­ nesday's session. Associate Justice Willafd said that the rela­ tors ought not to pray this at this state of the proceedings, as Mr. Payne was now in contempt, and the court had no assurance that he would ob»y, as he I iad disobeyed their mandate already, intimating that the counsel ought therefore, to await the rosult of the rul# before moviDg this order. COLUMBIA, S. C., NOV. 25.--The State Su­ preme Court has just entered a judgment of $1,500 fine each and commitment of all the Board of Canvassers to jail until released by order of the court. United States District Attorney Corbin, counsel for the State Board of Canvassers, dis Julian. ^claimed any intention of contempt and asked After thereading o» the saiiiat--, the filing* *Mtil Monday to satisfy the court. It was of a request on the part of the Democrats for representation on the board, and a number of unimportant motions, the board went into ex­ ecutive session. Tboy then announced the following votes, as compiled from consolidated statements: Do Soto--Hayes, 898; Tilden 1,308. Ouachita-- Haves, 793; Tilden, 1,869. Lincoln--Haytw, 331; Tilden, 1,064.

The votes of these parishes were not canvassed, there being con­ tests fixed far a hearing next week. When the returns frcm the parishes marked contested were opened, the Democratic counsel were allowed to be present. The returns fiom DeSoto parish were brought in and contained in one package sealed with wax. When tho seals were broken by members of the board there were found inside the consolidated votes of the Commissioners, statements and tally- sheets. Attached to the returns were a large number of pro ests and affidavits. The Secre­ tary of the board saiii tho package had been received on the 18th inst., and was entered id hi"? rrceipt book, and the returns, he eaid, h«4 come by mail.

C , Nov. 22.--The Board of State ttanvasfcers yesterday made a report to . We have no objection 0 the presAce of troops, and will co-operate with hem in preserving th« p> acp, but we protest igainst the we of the United States army in con- villing tbe organization ol the Legislature a;.d nforcing tiie inauguration of Gov. ChamberlaiD, vho has been d> feated by the white ai d colored ot< rs at the ballot-box. There is not the remotest lander of a disturbance of th•• peaw by tbe Demo- rats. If it occurs, it will be at the instigation of lov. Chamberlain, whose pirtUaiiS have taken tie only liveB lost in the lute exoiting canvass 1 this fctate. Not one drop of blood has been led In any political disturbance except by • publicans. It is literally true that the Demo- MIB reo-Jved their greatest majorities *in tho >unties where the United Htates soldiers pr« stationed. Wh »t pretense, there- ire, is there for Gov. Chamberlain's d> ma;.d for oops to keep the peace. We >efer for conflrma- >n of th-se stat- ments to the commander of the tnte 1 Htates forces at this place ind elsewhere In I e State. On application for writs of habeas corpus, e Board of State Canvassers were brought t is morning into the United States Circuit < 1'irt, Judgts Bond and Bryan pr si<ii g. The t ard w> re in custody of the Stute officers, v io. through counsel, asked for time t i) ike return to the aDplication for the writ < I e court signified that time would be granted, and that the prisoners would be held in the custody of the court pending the return. The application was based on the ground that the board were discharging the duties of appoint­ ing Presidential electors when the Supreme Court of tho State interfered. On a subse­ quent motion cf counsel, time was granted until Wednesday at 10 o'olock, to make a re­ turn, pending which the board was placed in charge of the United States The members are now at large, but accompanied by Deputy Marshals. „ The D mooratic counsel and Democratic St*t4* Executive CoEanuitt^** vO UU16 men from abroad and six local politicians from each side.

Both parties are in caucus tonight. The State Supreme Court to-dav continued the case of contempt against United States District Attorney Corbin, counsel for the board, until to-morrow. The counsel for the Sheriff of Richland county, who had the canvassers in custody, stated to the Supreme Court that lucuiucm oi i'u« board had been taken from him by habeas corpus, and was ordered to file copies of the papers in court to-morrow. Gen. Ruger arrived here to-night from Talla­ hassee. COLUMBIA, S. C., Nov. 28.--No one was al­ lowed to enter the State House t.in'̂ morning, unless on a psss from Mr. Jones, the Clerk of the late House, or Mr. Dennis, United States Marshal. About 9 o'clock Gen. Gordon, the United States Senator from Georgia, and Gen. John­ son. State Senator of Virginia, with Messrs, Peck and Jeffreys, members of the Legisla­ ture, demanded admittance to the State House. The rotunda was filled with troops, and arms were stacked around the Washington statue. Members of the Legislature exhibited their certificates from the Supreme Court of their election, and the corporal of the guard re­ fused them admittance. The Democratic members then met iu caucus at 11:15, und proceeded in a body to demand admittance,' with John C. Shepard, of Edgefield, at their head. Tho door was guarded by United States troops and by John B. Dennis, United States Marshal. Shepard asked for admission, whereupon Dennis asked if he had a certificate of election from the Secre­ tary of State. Shepard said he had the certifi­ cate of the Supreme Court, and Dennis said: "If you have not the certificate of the Secre­ tary you cannot enter." Shepard then said he demanded the right to read a protest from the Democrats, which he proceeded to do. Meanwhile Gen. Hampton had an interview with Gen. Ruger, who then changed the orders so as to allow anyone to pass the sentinels who claimed to be elected a member of the Legis­ lature. Members were thus admitted to the State House, but not to the hall of the Senate or House of Representatives. The Republicans proceeded to organize. Fifty-nine members answered to their nam**. Mr. Jones, the Clerk of the old House, de­ clared fifty-nine to be a quorum.' At the call of the roll £. W. M. Mackey re­ ceived fifty-seven out of tbe fifty-nine votes, and was declared the duly elected Speaker. The Democrats retired, and Mr. Mackey took the chair. In explanation of these proceedings, it must be remembered that the House, when full, consists of 124 members, and 63 being a ma­ jority are a quorum for the transaction of business. The Democrats, including the 9 disputed members from Edgefield and Lau­ rens, have 64 members, and the Republicans only 60, when all their members are present. The Democrats claim that 63 is the lawful quorum, while the Republicans claim that a majority of the members admitted by the can­ vassers to be elected, viz: 115, is a quorum, and with their 59 have gone to work. Mackey, on taking his seat as Speaker, de­ livered a speech, and the 59 members were then sworn in, only one Republican being ab­ sent. O. A. Jones, the former colored Clerk, was elected and sworn in. The House, as now organized, consists of 5 whites and 54 negroes. The Democratic members-eleot to the House of Representatives met at 7 p. m. iu Carolina Hall. Sixty-four Democrats and two Repub­ licans participated, and were sworn in by Judge Cook. The House organized and will claim recognition to-morrow. This leaves fifty-eight members in the Republican House, or one less than the quorum claimed by them, and five less than the number which the Democrats claim is necessary for a quorum. Each House will de­ mand of the Secretary of State the returns of the vote for Governor. The Supreme Court has not yet decided the question of counting the electoral vote. FLORIDA. TALLAHASSEE, NOV. 23.--The court before which the case of injunction against the Gov­ ernor and mandamus against the Re,turning Board was to be tried met this morning. The Governor presented through counsel an affi­ davit, in which he stated that he hail never made up his mind to canvass the vote, and has not ntated to any one that he had done so ; that even up to the present writing he had not decided he was empowered to canvass the votes. The Democratic counsel, disregarding this affidavit, argued, that the Governor had no right to canvass the electoral vote, but that such right resided in the Canvassing Board, and further that the court did not have juris­ diction over the Governor iu restraining him fiom doing what he was empowered by law to do, but in restraining him from perform­ ing an act he had no right to perform under the law. Gen. Barlow replied on behalf of the Gov-, ernor, and denied the jurisdiction of the coral. He said that an injunction issued against the Governor by a Judge on the bench would have no more effect than if it was is­ sued by a private individual. He abjured the Judge to carefully consider the risk lie ran in issuing a writ of injunction that could not be enforced by any legitimate procedure if the Governor was determined to resist it. Gen. Barlow did not enter into the merits of the case at all, but merely stood upon the lack of jurisdiction of the caurt. At the dose of his argument the court ad­ journed. TALLAHASSEE, NOV. 24.--The arguments in tbe injunction and mandamus cases were con­ tinued to day before Judge White. Mr. Sel­ lers and Judge Beddle, of Philadelphia, in speeches, and G>»v. Brown, of Georgia, by written argument, appeared for the Democi ata, and Gen. Barlow and Judge Emmons for tbe Republicans. The court adjourned without rendering a decision. TALLAHASSEE, Nov. 25.--The Baard of Can­ vassers received notification this morning from the Secretary of State, who is ex-officio a mem­ ber of the board, and charged with calling it together, that they must meet at 12 o'clock noon Monday, to canvass the vote of the State. The Judge has not yet decided the injunction utd mandamus cases now pending before him. The board will admit a committee of five from each of the political parties and tbe Chair­ men of the two State Committees to its ses- " ' * ' ~ w n a v B u , u i T l 1 1 1 1 1 1 Va?£* Joh^ - Washington ; Charles Gibson Missouri; Perrv Smith, of Illinois ; J.

A ,Th,e Democrat* gave notice of oonteet in Alachua, Baker, Clay, Duval, Escambia, Gads­ den. Jefferson, Leon, and Marion. • The result of the electoral vote, as read from the face of the returns, was as follows on the electoral ticket, from the highest votes on each considered: Republican majorities 7 4fl0 • Dade county is not yet in. The majority in tnis county cannot be over twenty either W&v Ihe Democrats have a claim of twentv-three votes in Clay county, which appear 'oirthe face of the return from that county, but are not added up in the general result because it ib not m evidence that the inspectors Hud clerk were sworn. The twenty-three votee will bs counted probably by common consent. This would leave a majority of nineteen for the Bepabho&n electors. At the close of the day's session the board was considering the case of county, from which there were two sets, of returns, one giving a Republican majorkw of forty-one, the other giving ninety-four-D^m- ocratic majority. Every county in the State is contested. FORME ITPKESI DEMI A L VOTE*}. A Table Worth Reading Just Now. Popular Year. • Candidates, 1789--George Washington....... 1796--John Adams."

TALLAHASSEE, NOV. 27--The Canvassing Board met to-day in the offioe of the Secretary of State, Mr. McLin in the chsir. A protest was filed by the Republican electors against Attorney General Cocke's tatting as a member of the board, on the ground that he h-d virtually decided and tfiven a decision prior to the asstmbling of the bo rd, in that he hsd telegraphed that the Democrats had certainly carri' d the State, and that the Republicans could not cheat them out of it. Mr. Cooke stated that he had sent the* dis­ patch in reply to a friend in Baltimore, who had asked his opinion, and who had furnished it to the newspapers. He respectfully submitted that the dispatch and the opinion therein con­ tained did not <iieqnnlify him for sitting as a member of tbe board. The protest was entered, and the Board pro­ ceeded with the regu ar business. Mr. Cowgill moved that Gov. Stearas and Gen. B run nan. commanding the troops at this point, be admitted to the sessions of the bo*rd. Mr. Cocke amended by adding trie name of Mr. o. F. Drew. The amendment was ac­ cepted. t'Uu ooard then went into private session, and adopted rules for its government. The board then agreed to admit six gentle- 1836--Martin Van Buren. 761,649 Wm. H.
