Nothing has yet been settled about the American Presidency, but

according to the latest reports, the Returning Boards of North Carolina, Louisiana, and Florida will all declare a majority for Mr. Hayes, who thus obtains a majority of one Elector. 'I'he Democrats assert that in North Carolina votes from Democratic counties have been unfairly rejected, and have made an appeal to the Supreme Court of the State, which is said to be now Demo- cratic. The great excitement, however, is postponed, pending the arrival of the official return from Florida, where the voting is said to have run unusually close, the highest majority claimed by either side being within 200. The vote of one doubtful elector, it must be remembered, will give Mr. Tilden a majority.
