TUESDAY NOVEMBER 10,
WHAT CAVNEK IT?
1874
The Democrats carried the city of
Natchez at tho municipal election la*t
week, by a majority of 338. The blacks
outnumbered the whites in tho registra
tion, which stood f». r *8 to 730, bnt many
negroes voted with the whito*.
The New Orleans Picayune complain*
that the Tax Collectors are beginning to
posh matters in the districts which wore
devastated by tlio overflow of last spring,
and have in some cohos gone so far as to
initiate proceedings for the sale of prop
erties whoso owners cannot pay.
The very name of Butler seems to bo
odiots to the peoplo everywhere. There
were three Bntlers candidates for Con
gress at the elections on TaosdAy last:
Ben of Massachusetts, R. R. Butler of
Tonnossco, and a Pennsylvania Bntler.
All were defeatod.
The Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep.) pub-
pnblishee a table showing that after the
4th of March next, the Radical majority
in tho Bonate of the United Staten will bo
only ten votes. It is now twenty-live.
Buch a change, wrought by tho oloctionn
of one yoar, is a very rare event in our
politioa.
Attorney Genesal Williams succeed
ed in re-electing Hays in Alabama, but at
leant twenty Radical candidaten for Con
gross were defeated by the indignation
whioh the sots of bin agents in Alubainu
and Louisiana nronnod. Williams’ blun-
dmhus, like Hudibras’, did more execu
tion in the roar than in the front.
The Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep.) soya
that Ron. Hamuel J. Randall is pretty
sure to be oither tho now Senator from
Pennnylvania, or tho Speaker of the House
in tho next Congress. Mr. Randall is one
of the Democratic Representatives to
CongroRM from Pennsylvania, just re-
oleotod, and ban been continuously in
Congress longer than any other Domocrat.
The action of the Administration at
Washington in putting s stop to the law
less rampages of Merrill iu Louisiana and
Hester in Alabama, wus taken after they
had done all the dsmnge that they could
do. Tho character of the two men was
woll known at Washington, and the Ad
ministration cannot therefore shirk the
responsibility of entrusting such powers
to Much moo.
'Ide Now York Tribune makes n com
parison of election llgurcs to show that
in on Assembly district of tho city in
which the Custom-Houso vote is large,
Dix wan extensively swapped oil by the
Radicals. He ran more than a thousand
votes belli ltd tho Radical candidate for
Assembly, who was quite n favorite with
tho Custom-House attaches. This shows
that many Federal olflce-holders and em
ployees opposed Dix because of his elev
enth hour declaration against a third term.
As soon as the election was ovor in
Louisiana, tho announcement eaiue that
the sale of the monitors ut Now Orleans
had been accepted by the Navy Dopart-
mout at Washington, aud they were or
dered to be turned over to their pur
chasers. Thoso eight vessels, that cost
tlio Government $4,400,000, aro now tho
property of Hhiekle, Harrison & Co., of
Ht. Louis, for tho moderate sum of $<•'.),•
0715. Interested with those parties are N.
McKay, of Boston; Thomas Allen, of
Pittsburg; aud D. Campbell, of St. Louis.
It is stated in lute dispatches from New
Orleans that Attorney General Fields has
determined to present Gen. Lougstreet
and 11. 0. Dibble to the grand jury, on u
obargo of etubezzloiootit of funds ap
propriated to pay the Louisiana State
militia (Kollogg’s troops.) The Attorney
General iH a Radical of tho Kollogg
stripo, liko Lougstroct and Dibble, aud
Ihereforo this proceeding cannot be
actuated by party feeling. But we can
not bolievo that Gen. Lougstreet is guilty
of tho charge of embezzlement. He
may, inhiazeal for the Kellogg cause,have
lined part of this money in unwarranted
preparation for tho defense of the usurper
against tho people; but if so, Kollogg is
doubtless more to blame thuu LoiigstJeot.
titgiiH of the tteiftaoue.
It is a oountry saying that winter uc
sots in nntii the springs are tilled up. Tho
rule hoa Rn exceptions, but is ordinarily
oorroct. Our stroums aro noiv low. Here
are the llrst days of November, with tho
air mild, tho sun warm, and vailed by
thoso floeoy clouds which betoken, not
rain nor wind storm, but gonial weather.
In the early morning we have a crispy at
uiospbore, accounted for liko tho frost
which lies like unbumished silver ou the
grass aud fences and roofs; soon tho sun
dispels this cheap bnt unadulterated and
matchless sheen, and we eujoy a
day in whioh just to live, and move, aud
have our being in the full view of
naturo, is happiness. The evening brings
the silver moon, and the shadows, and a
coolness which commands a trifle of tire.
We alternate between tho Attractions of
the earth and sky, aud the cosy fireside.
It in hard to nettle down to the real win
ter’s work; the providing for the long
cold months is mainly over; but we keep
out, as yet, seine of the largest specimens
of plants, and wc utmost reproach ourself
at midday that we had not takeu better
care of others whioh might yet have been
iu blooui. Rut the changing seasons
bring each their peculiar cares and thei
special enjoy in outs. It is better to bo a
little early thau anything too late.—1 Vor-
denee Journal.
Holding Him Even.—A paper ent in
Dakota Territory, tho Klk JJorn Meaner,
relates tho following story of a fellow
who solemnly pledged himself not to
drink n drop of liquor either iuHide or
outside of a house for two years. Boon
afterward he passed a saloon where three
of his former boon companions were tak
ing their drop in comfort, and ho could
not help stopging and eastiug one look of
longing within. Cue of them spied him
and invited him to join them. “Oh no,”
aaid he, “I wish 1 could, but I’ve sworn
not to take a drop either iuriilo or outside
of a house for two years.” “Oh." says
one, “you oau have one drink for all that;
we’ll lift you off tlio threshhold and you
oan drink hulf inside tho house and half
out ” Bo one took hold of each leg mid
thus they raised hiui up, while the third
filled aud passed the bottle. He took one
long drink, and was just drawiug breath
for another, when one of bis supporters
shifted a little and he shouted “()! hold
xno even, boys, my souls iu your hands.’’
VIEWS OF THE POLITICIANS.
Every newspaper has of course had its
“*ay” about tho results of the elections
of last week —their character, causes and
effects. Many “interviews” aro also re
ported, in which politicians expressed
their opinions in a conversational way,
and some speeches delivered upon the
H-imc subject. Wo propose to notice or
copy only a few from sources that may bo
considered repreui Unlive.
Wo begin with tho President. A dis
patch of the 7 th inst. represents hi in as
giving his views pretty freoly, and from
tbn report wo extract tho following para
graphs :
Tho President thinks that at tho door
of a Republican Congress alone may bo
laid tho defeat of tho Republican party.
He does not lay much stress upon tho
neglect of Congress at its last session to
prevent a financial measure which would
restore confidence and revive declining
trade, for in tho nature of things this was
next to an imponsibility. A proper ad
justment of fiuauces was not a matter
susceptible of a party control, as the
different sections of country had divorse
interests and divorso views, superior to
aud overpowering all mero party
claims mid all more party considera
tions. Tho President thinks that tho
groat element of discord in tho party was
rather tho unwise attempt to force upon
tho American people tho impracticable
and Utopian theories of Senator Sunnier,
as embodied in tho Civil Rights bill l*Ht
spring. It was authoritatively stuted in
thoso dispatches that the President didn’t
favor tho Civil Rights bill. It can now
bo said that his views in opposition to it
have bocomo much stronger by tho re
cent elections. He is firmly convinced
that tho Civil Rights bid had moro to do
with tho defeat of his party than all other
causes combined, nod ho has expressed
himself iu such a manner ns to loavn no
doubt upon the minds of those with
whom ho hnd conversed that if tho bill
shall he passed at tho next session ho will
interpose his veto.
Ho is further reported as having ex
pressed tho belief that Congress, when it
inoetH iu December, enn so act as to heal
ull divisions in tho party aud win back tho
confidence of the people. Ho does not
admit that the third term discussion had
anything to do with tho resultH of tho
(flections. On this point he is reported as
follows :
Without renouncing any such idea on
his own part, ho said that a careful exam
ination of the returns from the differout
States showed conclusively that tho poo-
ple in rendering thoir verdict were not in
fluenced by wild and seiisoless cries on
this subject which had filled the air for
months past. He pointed to what ho con
sidered two noticeable instances in proof
of hia assertion. The Bouth Carolina Re
publican Con volition hud emphatically
pronounced for him for a third term, and
its candidate for Governor had been tri
umphantly elected in the fane of tho enor
mous odds against him. On the other
hand, in the Utica District, whore tho lto-
pnhlioniiH had always an overwhelming
preponderance, Mr. Roberts insisted upon
tho Congressional Convention which nom
inated him pronouncing ngainst a third
term, and Mr. Roberts was defeated.
Next comes Vice President Wilson, who
has boon interviewed by a reporter of the
New York Herald, and expressed opinions
quite different from Gen. Grant’s.
In regard to the result iu Massachusetts,
tho Vice Prosideut laid the blame chcifly
upon Bon Butler. Ho said;
think lion Butler is tho groat origi
nal of the ovil. He insisted against a
well-defined and distinctly announced
public opinion, and against the protest of
tho best firms ill Boston, in putting into
tho Golloctorahip a limn wholly unfit for
tho otlioo and acknowledged to bo unable
to occupy a first-class position of trust; a
position to administer which, demanded
not only large business foresight but groat
executive ability. Bmmions was not tho
man to sit in tho chair which even Vico
President lUmliu filled with difficulty.
The Boston merchants made up thoir
minds that mere party politicians without
respect to capacity or integrity of charac
ter, should not bo paid for election work
iu any such way, aud the consequence has
been what you soo.”
lie attributed to Butler, too, much of
the malign influence that has led the Pres
ident astray, saying:
“Butler has iudaod gono under, llis
machinations aro over. He lias run the
President, giving very bail ndvico to tbi
Executive, and by political intrigue foist
ing men into office who were eminently
uflt for the positions they occupy, simply
to reward the men whom ho had found
useful or to give power to men whom ho
hopod to use. Amid tho general gloom
of defeat thoro shoot up scintillations of
joy that the roigu of one man—too much
politician aud too little statesman
over.”
Tho Vice President accounts for tho
general disaster to his party as follows :
“It is because,” ho replied with empha
sis, “the peoplo of America are gottitig
sick of mere party hacks and of distribu
ting offices of emolument and influence
to men who have not only no fitnoss for
them, but whoso object is personal emolu
ment. The cry everywhere is for states
men. Wo are getting to such a pass that
WE MUST HAVE INTEOUITY
or faco our doom. It is perfoot folly to
administer the ullairn of a groat nation
in such a holtor-skoltor way that boys and
third-rate men nre put into responsible
positions. That whole policy is wrong.
Boforo we oau have any security for the
future wo must adopt the only polioy
which is consistent with Republicanism—
good men for high positions, integrity
and ability above everything else, back
neats for small fry atui chairs on the stngo
for the solid diguity of tho country. Poli
tics have become un intrigue, when they
ought to be n science. They are an im
mense grab game, and iu the general
greed the people get disgusted and let tho
elections go by default.”
Mr. Wilson differs materially from Gen.
Grant ns to the effect of the third term
agitation- Ou this point he said :
“Oh, that third term matfcor has been
very unfortunate aud destructive, 'ihe
President has been unwise iu not saying
distinctly, aud with all possible emphasis,
that under no circumstances can he be
induced to stand os a candidate again. A
third term is not only without precedent,
but is a subject which the American peo
ple should trample under foot at once. A
third term means a fourth term, aud a
forth means oloction for life, and then
good bye to our form of government. 1
do not care how good a man is, nor how
popular he is, ho ought not to be permit
ted to interfere with that tradition of our
country which makes it imperative on a
man to step out w hen his term of office
expiros.”
Tho Washington National lie publican
chimes iu very harmoniously with Gen.
Grant. It says:
“Neither will it answer tho purpose to
attribute the reverses of the party to tho
discussion of the ‘third term' principle.
The few lending Republicans whom it
succeeded in dragooning into making de
clarations against the principle—notably
Governor Dix and lion. Ellis U. Roberts
—wero quite an badly beaten an those who
remained nilenf, while upon the other
hand the Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, who was
loudly and unsparingly denounced by this
same press for declaring that he could see
nothing objectionable in a Third term
per ee,' wan re elected almost without op
position. Tho facta of which these nre
illustrations fully demonstrate that the
‘third term discussion’ had very little to
do with the recent political overturning.”
The Republican maintains that tho
“panic” of laHtyeur end the failure of Con
gress to do anything to relievo it, together
with the cutting down of appropriations,
by which many personn were thrown out
of employment, wero tho chief causes of
tho Radical disasters. It nays of the 43d
Congress:
“Tho body convened with a two-thirds
Republican majority in tho House. Tlicso
Representatives woro fresh from tho peo-
J flo, whom they had promised all sorts of
Inaucial relief. They hud each a plan
for bringing something ont of nothing.
They wero all introduced and referred and
discussed, and the morabers then went
home to consult with their constituents
and spend the holidays. They returned
again fresh from the people, and said they
had promised to give them plenty of mon-
ey—paper money and cheap transporta
tion. “They talked and they talked, and
they talked’’—and did nothing elao upon
eith-r point but talk. Then thoy passed
tho appropriations, and went home to see
to thoir ro-eloctiuiiH. Wo thought at the
time that thoy shirked many of thoir ro-
sponsibili ies, and said so frankly. Tho
people do not liko cowards. As wo read
tho results of thoso elections they are a
rebuke to tbo representatives of tho peo
ple for thoir shortcomings. It is tho For
ty-third Congress which has boon passing
in roviow before the peoplo. It is not the
President at ull.”
It is also worthy of noto, in this con
nection, that tho National Republican
stands up for Ban Rutlor ; and wo infer
from its allusion to him that the President
differs from the Vice President in his
estimate of tho groat extinguished
’Radical leader of Massachusetts. Tho
Republican says:
'Perhaps if its loaders in Congress had
followed tho recommendations of Gen.
Grant, by appropriating money for inter
nal improvements and the prosecution of
the public works, thereby giving employ
ment to many thousands of laborors aud
encouraging manufacturers by example
to do the seine, tho discontent which
gave birth to tho revolution would not
have arisen. Wo admonished Republican
loaders in tho House at the time, that a
paralysis of the industries of tho nation
would inevitably produce dissatisfaction
among the people. General Butler also
proclaimed liis disbelief that the country
was so poverty stricken as to bo obliged
to “pinch hero and starve thoro,” closo
up our factories and workshops in many
placos, and run others upon short time,
thereby produoiog privation and want
among oporativos, instead of adding to
tho wealth of tlio country by providing
them with labor. But our grout leaders,
Messrs. Dswun, Garfiold and Foster, in
sisted upon cutting down tho appropria
tions to tho extent of twenty millions,
tho enormous sum of fifty cents per
capita of our population per annum,
tic and audacious system of robbery ever
known among civilized people, and not
expect that these wrongs would reaot upon
our own prosperity ? Wbat we need is
retrenchment in Government expendi
ture, reduction in tariff and taxes, econo
my and frugality in private expenditure,
until production may overtake consump
tion. Healing counsels and healing meas
ures are noeded. Tho whole spirit of the
Government policy is founded on tha
illusion of a false prosperity, which could
not but break and spread fragments of
ruin around us. Everything since tho
war has been fictitious.

inont whon tlio employees wore least pre
pared to nubinit to it.”
Tho Bnltimoro American (Repub.)
thinks that “Bullerisui” was tho mill
stone thnt Blink the party, and by Butler-
isui it does not mean tho nets of thnt
lender only, but tho general appointment
of men to office on account of partisan
HorviceB and pliability as party workers.
It regards Butler ns the “evil genius” of
any party to which ho may tic, and there
fore affectionately turns him over to the
Democracy (Good Lord, deliver us!) as
follows:
“General Butler in 18(»1 led tho Domo
crat io party to doetrnclion, following it np
iu its National Conventions from Charles
ton to Baltimore, and hack to Richmond,
lie was tho prime mover iu ovory meas
ure which led to tho civil war, and when
the inevitable result was reached ho turn
ed short upon his dupes and seized the
sword to aid iu thoir extirpation. If lie
regards tho blow he has now given to the
Rebublican party as likely to prove fatal,
we may look for him at tho next session
to be active iu paving the way for a uiastor-
ly rotrent into tho Doinocratio fold. lie
has proved himself to bo ready for any
emergency that will keep his name boforo
the conn try, caring littlo whether it is
connected with infamy or honor. The
Rpeuhlicnn party will tool, iu getting rid
of Butler and Butlerism, that it has 'un
loaded’ to good purpose. ”
Wo bavo quoted onough, wo think, to
show thnt tho President and the Radical
majority in CongrosH are apt to meet in
December in no very agreeable humor,
the one towards the othor. Tho Republi
can inflationists will be sure to retort that
if tho failure to provide relief to tho coun
try last winter was the cause of the disas
ter, tho President prevented rolief by his
veto of tho Financial bill acceptable to
Congress and especially to his own party.
They will not at ell like his adhereneo to
Butler, aud hia stubborn denial that iho
third term business had any effect, or his
organ's assertion that it is the present
Congress and not tho President that bus
been condemned by tho people.
Bnt we leave these Republican factions
to nottlo the question “who did it” among
themselves, and now turn onr attention to
another quarter. Wo oopy from an in
terview of a reporter of tho Now York
Tribune with ttauuicl J. Tildou, Governor-
elect of Now York. Mr. Tilden’s triumph
ovor Dix has brought him prominently
forward us a suitable Democratic candi
date for the Presidency iu 187(5. Iu tho
interview referred to, ho said :
“Tho poople ore beginning lo think
that it is tuuo to have u real peace in the
Uuitcd States. It is now ten years sir.co
the conflict of arms closed, bat wo still have

The Grant Administration subsists upon
the passions and hatreds that wero engen
dered by the war. It is perhaps human
uature, bnt it is human nature '

just as long ns the Administration could
thereby prolong its power. At any rate,
it is unequal in every sense to devising ,
and executing the measures which the sit
uation of the country now imperatively
requires. The country feels tho waste of
capital during the war; it feels tho reac
tion, the false system of tiuauce, tho bur
dens of debt aud tho blight of excessive
taxation. Every business, every in
dustry is distressed. The inevita
ble evils of tho situation #.ro increased
by tho policy of tho Government toward
