The Servian War and What the Pow ers are Doing. London, Nov. 16. The Correspond ents nay that Austria contemplates the partial mobilization of her army. There is reason to believe that Russia will call in next year's contingent re cruits numbering 200,000 men instead of waiting till April, the usual time. lne hrst military train with 16,000 troops left St Petersburg yesterday for Kischaraff. All railway companies in Russia are ordered t place their rail wy at the absolute disposal of that Government. Lord Derby is on the point of addressing a protest to the Powers against the mobilization of the Kus-ian army. Trws requires confirm- a' ion. If true the conferencu is use less. Everything however combines to discourage those who hopn for a peaceful issue. The freights traffic on the railroads from the Polish frontier southward has stopped. Turkey is con centrating, leaving only a defensive line on the Servian and Montenegrin border. Four English engineers and officers that were employed by ttie Porte to superintend the strengthening the Danubian fort' and Danube flotil la, were reinforced. The Times editorially believes the conference will be held despite the war-like preparations.. If the Porte stubbornly refuses he will stand alone. WASHINGTON. Two Democratic Congressmen Elect ed inFlorida Majority for Tilden The;8ituation in South Carolina and Louisiana. Washington, Nov 16. The Herald has a dispatch from J J Daniel, Chair man of Democratic Executive Com mittee of the several districts of Florida, saying. I send you . below the vote of the State by counties. The returns are all in except from Brevard. Here fol lows details by Congressional districts. First democratic majority in 18 coun ties 5,1" 1; republican majorities in 4 counties 4,o6o. becond, democratic majorities in 11 counties 2,791 ; repub lican majority in 5 counties 2,3o9. To tal democratic majority in the State 1,038. The dispatch concludes : 'This insures the election of the State and national tickets, democratic Congress men from both districts, and a demo cratic majority in both Houses of the Legislature." The Herald's Tallahassee dispatch says it is impossible that the demo- cra ic majority can be cot down below 800, or Tilden's he'.ow 400. The Herald's dispatch from Colum bia, S C, says, after hearing various protests the board of canvassers made no answer, but in reply to another protest against ti.eir character as hav ing judicial functions they adopted the following resolution : Resolved, That the Board will not act upn aoy proposition until the ques tion of its powers and duties be decided by the Supreme Court. The Board then adjourned. The Herald's New Orleans ppecial makes Gov Kellogg say, he has no Control over the personnel or organiza tion of returning board.

Matthews and Sherman was only in the interest of a true and just count of the votes cast in the State. No matter which of the competing candidates it might elect. It has now been finally decided by the democratic visitors to entrust their case to Messrs. Trumbull, Palmer and Potter, who will remain here to watch and conduct it. FLASHES. Chicago, Nov 16.

LOUISIANA.; Reply of the Radicals to the Commu nication from the Democrats Invit ing a Conference. New Orleans, Nov 16. Gentlemen: The majority of the un dersigned to whom your note of the 14th iust was addressed only arrived in the city yesterday evening, and we have therefore been unable to reply until this morning, and can only regret that your communication should have been given to the press immediately uoon its delivery and without possibili ty of an answer accompanying it. You remark that you are informed that we came at the request of the Pre sident to see that the board of canvas sers make a fair count of votes actual- y cast and ask that we meet and con fer in order that such iufluence Ave possess, may be exerted on beha'f of such a canvass of the votes actually cast as by its fairness and impartiality shall command the respect and acqui escence of the American people of all parties. We join heartily with you in counsels of peace and in the expres sion of an earnest desire for a perftct- y honest and just declaration of the results ot the recent election in Louis iana by it lawfully constituted au thorities, and we may add that we know of no reason to doubt that such a declaration will be made, but we do not see tne propriety or utility or a conference on th basis and subject to the limitations you propose, for we have no such duty imposed on us, and as suggested by the clause of your note, first quoted. Veare simply requested to be witnesses of what bhall 6CcuT in the canvass of the rotes without power or legal influence over the re sult or over the means by which under the laws of Louisiana the result is to be determined. We cannot doubt that m this, you, upon reflection, will con cur with us. We are here as private citizens with no official power; we therefore cannot supercede or modify any laws of that Stute, nor have we any right to control or influence any of officers aa to the manner in which they shall perform min'sterial or judi cial duties imposed upon them by its laws, and should we, being strangers and without official function attempt this, we should be condemned by the people of every State in the Union, for an improper interference with local administrations. The following ex tract from the laws of Louisiana shows that the canvassing board is expressly required in certain cases to exercise udicial as well as ministerial func tions: Sec. 3. That in such canvass and compilation the returning officers shall observe the following order: 'Theyshall compile, fir?t, the state ments from all polls or voting place?, at which there shall have been a fair free and peaceful registration arid elec tion, whenever from any poll or voting place there shall be received the state ment of any supervisor of registration or commissioner of election in form as required by section 26, of this act on affidavit of three or more citizens of any riot, tumu't, acts of violence or intimidation armed disturbance, bribery or corrupt influence, which prevented or tended to prevent a fair, free and peaceable vote of all qualified electors entitled to vote at such polls or voting place. Such returning officers shall not canvass, count or compile the statements from such polls or voting placeuntil the statements from all other polls or voting place shall have been canvassed and compiled. Te returning officers shall then proceed to investigate the statements of riot, tumult, acts of violence, intimidation, armed disturbance, bribery or corrupt iufluence at any such poll or voting place, and if from the evidence of such statements they shall be convinced that such riot, tumult, acts of violence and intimidation, armed disturbance, bribery or cerrupt influence did not materially, interferes with the purity and freedom" of the' election at such poll or voting place, oj did not prevent a sufficient number of qualified voters thereat from , registering or voting to mater ally change the . result of elec tion there and act otherwise, said re turning officers - shall canvass . and compile the vote of such poll or voting place with, those previously canvassed arid com piled, but if the said returning officers - shall -not be jully satisfied thereof, ii' shall be their duty toX' amine lurtner testimony in repara thereto and to this end thoy shall have power to send for persons: and papers rt, If after such examination the said re turning officers shall be convinced that said riot, tumult, acts of violence, in timidation, armed dietur banco, bribery or corrupt influence did not material ly interfere with the purity and free dom of the election at such poll or voting place, or did prevent sufficient number of the qualified electors there at irom registering and voting to ma terially change the result of the elec tion, then said returning officers shall not canvass or compile the statement of the votes of such poll or voting place, but shall exclude from their re turns, provided that any person inter ested in said election, by reason of be ing a candidate for office, shall be al lowed a hearing before said retqrriing officers upon making application with in the time allowed for the forwarding of the returns of said election. Hence if there were any facts requiring the judgment of the board upon the validi ty of any election, or returning as affected by such frauds or violence it would be a manifest interference with State rights, and local self government for persons lik-3 ourselves, without official rights to attempt to influence or control its judical election. Had a corresponding board in the State of New York in 1868, been authorized to pans upon the fraudulent returns of votes of the city of New York, that you and a delegation of citizens of Louisiana, however respectable, at tempted to influence its judicial action upon the facts presented to it under aws of that State S'ich attempt would hive been universally condemned. If the duties of the canvassing board of Louisiana were merely ministerial or clerical- as in the casa of any officer charged by kw with the duty of veri fying and declaring the result of any election or investigation with no dis cretion as where the President of th'e Senate counts and declares the votes of the electors of the several States in the election of President and Vice resident, under the constitution of he United States, a different case would be presented. It is m our judg ment vital to the preservation of con- titutional liberty, that the habit of obedience to the forms of law, should be sedulously inculcated and cultivated and that the resort to extra constitu- onal modes of redress for even actual grievances snou'd he avoided and con demned as revolutionary, disorganiz- ng and tending to disorder and an archy. To reduce the "wITolrqomfrjrnhrre- ore to the mere clerical duty of count ing the votes actually cast as proposed by you in distinction from the votes legally cast and returned, irrespective of the question, 'whether they are fraudulently or violently cast, or otherwise vitiated, involvs a nullifi cation of the-provisions of the laws of Louisna, which have already been ad judicated as valid by the supreme court and would be wholly unjustifiable here, as well as in any other State of the Union which had providea laws to pro tect the rights of voters and the purity of the ballot. We cannot, therefore, concur in your proposition for a con ference on that basis.
