The Haitians did pot sace*ed,if they
really did make more than a feint, in
croMfog the Danube at O’.tenUaa. The
great defensive line wan in fact forced
at only two point*, but theae give the
Uueiiana command of every important
point on the Da mi he from a war stand-
point, except Runchuk and Hiliatria.
They control both tjankn from the
Mack aea to or at leant near Silintru;
the itonmanian bank from ftilintna to
Knatchuk, and both banka from Rnst-
chuk to Widdln. The Turku Mill hold,
or did hold on Sunday, the
northern or river front of the quadri
lateral. Thin, however, makes no dif
ference with the Kumian campaign
Kvery dav adds to the hordes of Rus
sian* on Bulgarian noil. Tney will noon
lie strong enough to advance from Si.v
tova, isolating Ituntchuck am! cutting
the isilrond between Varna and
Fhnmla. All the fortified angles of the
quadrilateral will noon lie neparated.
The Ron iana outnumber the Turks
three to one am! they cad outnumber
them in Bulgaria five or nix to one.
They are simply irresiatahle, and the
result is ouly a matter of time, if no
other nation comes to the aasiatance of
the Tnrk. If, as is reported Una
morning, Rnatchuk has been abandon
ed, Nilistria will t>e masked, and
Nhumla will atraightway become a
point of great interest. It cannot
however, check the Muncovitetid that

Bulgaria, in which the armies are
now operating, line lietweeu the Danutie
and the Balkans, between her via and
the Black Hea. It haa an area of 3D 000

2,600,000, fony »*er cent ot whom

peninsula. The Bulga-inns were orig
inally a Finnic tribe. and came irom
the nver Volga to tho Danube in the
fifth century, and for live hundred
years were a constant menace to the
Greek empire, the aeat of which waa at
Constantinople. They were finally
Mitdneri in the «leventh century
by BaimI II., and MibHcquently by tlie
Osmanli Turk4. The Bulgarians, ai

Flipper has Hopped up again, and
arrms to be decidedly in luck. He has
Iwen transferred Co the Tenth cavalry,
which ia alluded to by a .New Orleans
pa|H*r ns the ••Tenth Nubian Li<;ht
Foot.” This, it seems to us, is a dark
hint as to the color of this gallant
orp«, but as the stale of Texas lies
eomewherc between New Orleans and
the R'o Grande, we suppose the matter
will be allowed to i*atw. But as to Flip
per, Flipper has gut his regiment and he
baa had n reception at ttie hands of
his cofcncd friends aud acquaintances
in New York. Ouumon jeoyle are
generally embarrassed at receptions
given to themselves, hut not so with
Fiipper. The recepiion was exceeding
ly high-toned, as well as highly colored,
and took place m the rooms of the ‘ Lin
coln literary musical association.” Flip
per.riggedotuin full uu f jrm,with n yel
low hor-e-hair plume flowing felicitous
ly over his cavalry helmet .sailed in,ac-
cording to accounts, just as chipper
and as peart as yon idewse.
Tliere was no lager beer handed aroued,
but the familiar a *und of the bamt,
which was coai|NMel of a harp and
a violin, made its abaer.es painfully
apparent. Thsre were few s|*eeches,
hut the affair was decidedly formal
When everything was ready for busi
ness, a par;y of the name oi Garnett
rose and introduced FUpper, and iuthe
course of his remarks took occ tsion to
attack the newly-made lieutenant by
accusing him of wearing ‘Mhe shadowed
livery of the burnished sun.” Where
upon Flipper got up, placed his
hands on the hilt of his bloody sabre,
and bowed. The crowd theu shook
hands ail around, the music played
and lemooa e and ice cream were
brought out from their hiding-places,
and all w uu merry as the milkman’s
bell. As we said before. Flipper is in
luck. He is a distinguish^ young
man. He will reach home during toe
present week,and it is to be hoped that
his friends here are ready to give him
an ie -cream lunch, «>r something of

Rutherford B. llayes was foisted into

After briefly adverting to the indig
nation felt by honest men throughout
the country at the great outrage upon
the rights of the people, Judge Black

WHAT TUK CAUI’tT BAGGKK 13.
The people would not have been
wholly crushed, e ther by the soldi.-r
or the negro, if both had uot been used
to las ten upou them the domination of
another ciass of persons whose rule
was altogether unendurable. Tne.-e
we call carpebbffggers, not because the
word is descriptive or euphonious, bat
because they have no o»her name
whereby they are known among the
children of men. They were unprinci
pled adventurers, who sought their
;ortuues iu the south by plunderii g
the disarmed and defencele-s people ;
some ol them were the dxegs of the
federal army—the meanest of the camp
followers; many were fugitives from
northern justice; the best of them weie
those who went down alter tlie peact*,
ready for any deed of eh-une that was
safe and profitable. These, cjiubilling
with a lew treacherous “scalawag,”
aud some leading negroes to serve as
decoys for the rest, aLd hacked by the
power of the general government, be
came the sirouges body of thieves that
ever pillaged a people. Their moral
giade was far lower, aud yet they were
n uch more poweiful, than the robber
bauds that infested Germany after the
close of the thirty years war. They
xwarmed over all the stales Irom th i
Potomac to the Gulf, aud settled ia
hordes, not with inteut to remain
there, but merely to feed on tlie sub
stance of a prostrate and defenceless
people. They tot lc whatever came
within their reach, intruded themselves
into all private corporations, assumed
the functions of all offices, including
the courts of justice, ami in many
places they even “run the churches. ’
By force and fraud they either control
led all elections or else prevented
elections from being held. They re
turned sixty of themselves to one con
gress, and ten or twelve of the mo.-t
ignorant and venal among them were
.cl the same time thrust into the senat *.

There was no show of truth or honor
about it. The pre’ended representa

1 ing in finding out that it was a sha<a
and a snare. As early as 1870 and before
that/he handwriting was seen upon the
wall which annonneed that a large and
decisive majority of all the votes, black
aud white, had determined to break up
this den of thieve*. They must there
fore prepare foi flight or punishment,
unless they could contrive a way of de
feating the popular will whenever and
however it should be expressed. Theu
the returning board was invented.
This was* a machine entirely new,
with powers never before given to any
tribunal in any state. Its object was
not to return, but to suppress, the
votes of the qualified electors, or change
them to suit the occasion. By the
terms of the law it can exclude, sup
press, annihilate all the votes of a par
ish for violence, intimi 1 at ion or fraud,
whicb it fiuds to have been cMumitte l
and adjudges to have materially i*i-
tl-aenced tire result of the poll. This
is judicial authority so broad
that no court would consent to exer
cise it—indicting the fearful peualty of
disfranchisement upon thousands at
once, without a hearing and without
legal evidence, not for any offence of
heir own, but f -r the supposed sin of
others over whom they confessedly
have no control. Oi course it is iu di
rect conflict with the stale constitn-
hich declares that all judicial
power shall oe vested in certain or
dained and established courts, ami
forbids it to be used even by them,
xcept upon trial before a jurv, and
:onviction on the testimony of credible
witnesses confronted by the accused
and cross examined by counsel, it is,
besides, a most insolent affront to the
fundamental principles of all elective
government, for it make* the poll o<
the people a mere mockery, which
decides nothing except what the re
turning board is pleased to approve,
and elects nobody whom the returning
board does not graciously favor. Its
power to veto a popu'ar vote extend *
l.j all eie -tr me, f >r every class of offi
cials, judicial, legislative, nnuisteria-,
aud executive, including electors cf
pre-idem and vies-president.
HOW IT DID THE W« »RK.
The board consisted of five per-ons.
They were originally appointed by a
j.trpet-bag Semite, without end of their
enure aud with power to till vacancies,
which ma»le them a close corporation
and gave them perpetual succession.

law required that all parties should he

decide the 1 same tjuestions of fact and
law the other vray. Now comes the
query: If the court’s decision was
worthless because it w as late, what, was
the value of the commission’s jndg
ment, which was later? The eight did
actually, not in words, but in substance
snd effect, give vent to the ball absur
dity that it was too late in January t>
decide the dispute in favor of Tilden,
but not too late in February to decide
it in favor of Hayes.
IN FAVOR OF FRAUD KVKRY TIME.
Another thing they said: This judg
ment, though it proved the fact that
the Haven claimants were not dulv ap
pointed, and had no title to the office of
electors, did not invalidate the acts
previously done by them while they
were de facto in the exercise of the
powere they usurped There is a just
.*upi necessary rule of law which de
dares that tire validity of acts regularly
done by an officer shall uot depend on
the title by which he holds the oftice.
You may remove a sheriff by a quo
warranto without destroying the titles
of all who purchased land at his sales,
or a judge without vacating his decree*,
or a treasurer without saying that his
payment of a public debt is not satis
factory; but where a person assumes a
special authority to do a particular
thing the validity of the ad
does depend on the authori
ty to do it. This latter
rule applies here. These electors
cla med a right to vote for the stale
under a special appointment given
them to do that one act. When a com
petent court adjudicated as matter of
fact that the llayes electors had no
appointment, it was a logical and legal
necessity which declared the unauthor
ized votes to be null and void. If this
were not the principle, then any im
poster, or any number of imposters,
might send up their ballots, and one
would be asgood as another.
But again, let it not be forgotten that
the Tilden electors had also voted nt
the same time in the same why. Why
did not this fact make as mnch weight
for them as for the others? It will
excite the wonder of tbe world to learn
that, in the opinion of the eight, a
person who voted nnder an appoint
ment given him by the people accord
ing to law could not be even a de facto
elector, but another person who bail
nothing to claim by except the false,
fraudulent, and void declaration of a
returning board was good de facto, il
he was good for nothing else. This
d Petrine of de L cto sa c ideation,saving
acta which have no other “relish ol
salvation in them,” and making the
votes of unauthorized men as good as
if they came from persons duly ap
pointed, cuts a great figure throughout
the whole case. It is not applicable,
bat the eight apply it everywhere, aud,
strange to say, they never use it when
it does not make in favor of some fraud
or other. One who votes according te.
the public will of the state, legally
expressed through tbe ballot-boxes, it
de facto nothing. But it ho was de
feated or ineligible, he is de facto all he
wants to be. One of tho Uayes electors
l.i Louisiana was a federal officer; hit-
eleciion was torbidden by the constitc
tion of the United States, and he wai-
not elected but beaten at the polls; de
facto strained its utmost power on him,
and pulled him through in spile of
constitution and peopU both. But hi
democratic competitor, who had acted
as an elector in the same way and to
the same extent, was legally chosen by
an overwhelming majority, and con
stitutionally eligible; therefore de facto
could do nothing for him.
FRAUD UNDER THE FORMS OF LAW.
In all the dieenssions of the subject
the men disposed to favor the conspi
racy professed a most profound vener
ation for the “forms df law.” This was
the keynote at New Orleans by the
visiting committee, and it is heard irt
every subsequent argument of counsel
and commission on that side. It seemed
to be understood among them that u
f irmal cheat was perfectly $afo from
exposure. If tbe sepulchre was whited
on the outside, it made no difference
that it was filled w.th “corruption, dead

to show that America might be taxed
without representation, Pittanswered:

spoke the defiant friend of qur race in

years before the declaration of inde

interval of time, we behold our greatest
right—the right on which all other
rights depend—successfully assailed
in our own congress with the same
«mall weapons that Grenville used.

refuge of lies could he swept away, no
hiding place of falsehood could ever
be uncovered, if it was built in the
prescribed form. But leual form, bow
ever valuable as a covering for fraud,
was, in their judgment,no protection for
truth or justice or public right. The

the election with all the solemnities

the Uuited States. The appointment
of the Tilden electors on the 7th ol

of the appointing power. Bi.t it wap
looked on with peifeot contempt.
Neither the visiting committee nor the
Hayes counsel, nor the eight commis
sioners, bestowed on it any of thii
love. Their affections were otherwise
engaged; they gave the homage and
devotion ot iheir hearts to the beanti
ful regularity, the exquisite precision,
with which the returning board com
pounded its false certificate.

Cincinn ati, July .1.—Another heavy
storm swept ti»7^ H
central Ohio an t luffiana last evening
•mil this morning. Its path seems to
have been through the counties m In
diana ami Ohio lying * lirtle south of
the center of the state. At Waverly,
Johuson county, about 0 o clock at
night, the s'orm struck the residence
of George Dressier, blowing it entirely
awav und leaving tbe fruit cans in the
cell ir undisturbed. Dressier was found
near bv with his feet lacerated and
breast badly injured. IBs wife and
two children, five and three years old.
were killed outright. Another child,
twelve years old, died yesterday. An
other, nine years old. received a severe
scalp wound and one ankle dislocated.
It is not expected to live. The resi
dence of James Armstrong was blown
down, killing one child. Another lias
since died. Near St. Paul, Ind., several
barns aud dwellings, ami also achurch
and Fchool house were entirely des
troyed. Michael Meneslich was killed,
Mrs. Reckcr fatally injured, C. Jupsn-
latz injured internally and John Itewis
collar-bone broken. At Joliet, Ind., a
new church was utterly torn to pieces.
The farmers lose very heavily. A large
number of cattle were killed, fences
leveled and barns and out bouses
destroyed. In the vicinity of Colum
bus, Ind., tbe lowest estimate ot the
damage is $50,0*10.
INJURY ON THE FARMS.
Cattle standing crops, Inirns, forests
aud orchards suffered severely, in
Morgan county several houses are re
ported blown down ami many injured.
Two children have since died. A
school house was carried fifty yards
down hill. Another school house was
carried across the road into a corn
field, and tlie school furniture was
scattered for half a mile. One house
was bespattered with mud, supposed
to have come from a stream half a
mile away, as no rain accompanied the
storm. Corn waist high was literally

THE REIGN OF ANARCHY.
Security of life can never be coanted
on where property is not protected.
When the pub.to authorities w ink upon
theft ihe people are driven by stress ot
sheer necessity to defend themselves
the Dt-st way they can, and that de
fence is apt to be aggressively violent.
Justice, infuriated by popular passion,
often cuia-s to its victim- in •* feariui
shape. lLsordcrs, therefore, there must
have been, and bloodshed au i violence,
and lo-s of life, tin*ug t they are not
enumerated, or clearly described in
ihe reports. It is known that bands of
* regulators” traversed many parts ot
the state, and the lact is established
that seven < f the su>rehouses used n.~
places of ie eivmg stolen goons were
burnt to tLe ground iu one night. The

eight commissioners for the lalse over
the true becomes very striking at this
point. WT uen they got behind the gov
ernor’s papers, they found lying aliunde
two other sets of dccuments, one ot
which was a record uf the actual ap
pointment made by the peoule; lbe
other was a mere fabrication of Ihe re
turning board without auy semblance
of truth. They embraced the latter
with all the arobr of sincere affectiofj,
and rejec.ed the former with all
the umpire Would be a fair-minded b ei sharks i1 their dislike,
man. They were bitterly dwappryint
head as tlie other. 1 he democrats
consented to this iu the belief that no
seven republicans could be taken irom
the court or irom congress who would
**ear to decide the truth and then up
hold a known fraud; if mistaken jn
that opinion cf their adversaries’ fcr n-
est j, they fe^t sure, at all events, that
appointed. The conflict was to be de
termined by the verifying power which
congressuuquestionaD y has, and which
the commissioners expressly assumed
when they swore .that they would de
cide who were duly appointed To de
cide it one way or the other required
precisely the same jurisdiction, and
called into exercise exactly the same
faculties. Yet they held that if they
decided according to the truth in favor
of the electors actually appointed they
would be trying a contested election;
Du*, if they decided in favor of the pre
tenders, who had nothing but a fraudu
lent certificate, they would not be try
ing a contested election; in other
words, their jurisdiction was full anti
ample to decide it falsely, but who'ly
unequal to the duty of deciding it
truly.
INEtlOIBLB ELECTORS RECOGNIZED.
Perhaps rotbing shows more plainly
the animus of the eight commissioners
than the determination they made up
on the case of Brewster, ineligible elec
tor in L'misiana. Keep in mind that
their defined duty was to decide who
were duly appointed, and what votes
were provided for oy the constitution,
and think how they pci formed it in
this part of the erne. Brewster was not
only defeated at the polls like the reM;
he was besides a federal ofliceho der,
and the constitution expressly declares
that uo such person shall he appointed
an elector. But for the purj>o»e of
electing Mr. Hayes his vote was worth
as much as all the others. To get that
vote for their candidate they w ere re
quired to go further than they went for
auvofth* rest, and so they held: 1.
That the certificate uf the returning
board was proprio rigore an apjioint-
ment. 2. Tnat it was a due appoint
ment, though corrupt and dishoue.-t.
3. That this w as a vote provided for by
two persons, who bad taken refuge m a
bridge, were killed oy a falling tree
crashing through across their bum.
