patches of certain democrats who went
to watch the returning hoards in Sonth

1 gt«i h company, that gigantic monopoly
and oppressor of every business interest
in the country, were by its officers turn

have implicaltd the radicals and allow
ed the ucbiication r-f those sent by the
d« m< crats, semedf Licb stated that
tlie returning beards could be bought
for specified sums of money.
This wua thought to be a master
stroke of political trickery by the radic
al managers, whojel)tickled and grinned
over the matter for two or three weeks,
—in fact until tho congressional com
mittee began the investigation which
has resulted so completely in their dis
comfiture.
Our space will not peimit ns ti give
even a synopsis of the testimony elici
ted, bat the whole ot it went to show
that the returning boards offered their
decisions in regard to the presidential
election for sale for money; that the
democrats refused to buy; and every
circumstance goes to show that the rad
icals did buy them—as tv.ry rad cal

A strong attempt was made on the
publication of tlie cipher telegrams to
countct Fresiilmt 'Jilt on with them,
and to bring the cejure chief mrgis-
trnto of (lie union into contempt before
the country. Never lias a dastardly

there not found a particle of evidence
tending in the remotest degree to im-"
plicate Mr. Tilden, but not tbe shadow
of a suspicion could be traced against
him. At his s w.i rt q .esL he was on Sat
urday last called before tbe sub investi
gating committee,- and bis testimony is
pointed and unequivocal, and goes to
the country and to posterity with giant
fores in its condemnation of the great
frauds which most stain tho pages of
American history os the trmmph of the
most infamous and shameless conspira
cy that ever subverted tho highest priv-
aieges of a free gi vormneut.
It has bc*-n proven during the inves
ligation o; the electoral matters that the
■democrats' were swindled out of the
votes of at least two states by tbe fraud
ulent action of perjured returning
boards. Not ouly this, but it has been
shown that some of the names of the
electors on the Hayes certificates from
Louisiana were actual forgeries. And
lastly, it has been demonstrated beyond
tbe possibility of a doubt 'that tho can
vassing .boards were actually bribed,
and that Mr. Hayes, who was by their
crimes and their subsequent ratification
by eight members of tbe electoral com
mission. made President of the Unsted
States^aetually distributed many of the
rewards with his own .hands and over
his official signature.
Mr. Hayes and co-couspirators may
wear their raploS kimores with the best
grace they can, but, in the language of
Charles Francis Adams, “He must ever
wear upon his brow the stamp of fraud
first triumphant in American history.”

We have few' promises to mal c for The Consti
tut ion for 1879. ’ihe paper speaks for itself, aud
upon that grouncJ the managers offer it to tlije pub
lic as the best, the brightest, tbe newsiest and tbe
most complete daily journal published in tlie South.
This is the verdici oi om* reaao.-s, aad the verdici

concerned, with the metropolitan journals.
III. Its compilation of the news by mail is tbe
freshest of the best, comprising everything of in
terest in the current newspaper literature of the day.
jV, Its editorial department Is full, bright and
vivacious, aud its paragraidis and opinions are more
widely quoted than those of any other southern

V. * Bill Arp,” the most genial of humorists, will
continue to contribute to its columns. “Old Si”

aud will furnish fun both in prose and verse.

"the domain of politics, literature aud science.
