FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1876.
Ex-Governor Brawn on Grant’s Hill-
ta^v Snrveilance.
In a letj^r to Mr. James A. Hoyt,
Chairinai/of the Anderson county (8. C.)
Demopifatic Executive Committee, ex-
Goyfirnor Brown lakes occasion
\$f express his condemnation of
' the employment of the United States
army for the purpose of overawing the
people and controlling the elections in
the South. Alluding to Chamberlain’s
call /or troops and the military occupation
of South Carolina on the eve of the Presi"
dential election, Governor Brown utters
sentiments that will meet the cordial en
dorsement of every true patriot in the
Union. He 6ays :
“The conduct of your present Execu
tive in fomenting discord between the
two races for personal aggrandizement,
and for the purpose of perpetuating him
self in office, deserves, as it receives, the
condemnation of all unbiased, intelligent,
patriotic people. His appeal to the gov
ernment at Washington, to send troops
to South Carolina, to disarm the white
race, and awe them from the ballot box,
cannot be too severely condemned; and
the conduct of the President of the Uni
ted States, in sending troops to South
Carolina to interfere in the elections,
with a view to carrying the State for his
own political party, under the pretext of
suppressing insurrection or domestic vio
lence, when there were no armed organi
zations or uprisings by the people of any
character, which made war upon the
State, or threatened to subvert the gov
ernment of the State, or to set aside its
power and jurisdiction on any portion of
the territory of the State, deserves and
will receive the withering rebuke and
bitterest condemnation of all unbiased
patriotic citizens North and South, who
sincerely desire the perpetuation of our
republican form of government. I look
upon this as the most dangerous aggres
sion upon the liberties of the country,
and the most unjustifiable usurpation of
power by the General Government which
have occurred since the close of the war.
It is a precedent that mast be rebuked by
the overwhelming voice of an indignant
people, and history must stamp it as the
foulest blot upon the present administra
tion of the Federal Government.”
fitAt “ MutU Ifttmmet.”
We are not surprised that that able
Democratic journal,the Baltimore Gate tie,
is not deceived by Grant’s ad captandum
order to Gen. Sherman which seems com
pletely to have misled some of our South
ern cotemporaries into the belief that the
President really desires that there shall be
a fair count of the votes in Louisiana. The
mistake, says the Gazette, which Messrs.
Grant, Chandler and Cameron are now
making is that they underrate both the
intelligence and earnestness of the Amer
ican people. General Grant’s dispatch to
Sherman, which was intended as a sort of
proclamation, insults the reasoning pow
ers of this generation. He caunot, by a
little pretty talk or “manly utterances,”
regain the lost confidence of the country.
They judge him by his fruits. Viewed
by the light of his continued “confi
dence” in Babcock, Shepherd. Schenck,
Delano and Williams, and by his action
in the Louisiana frauds in 1872 and 1874,
his “manly utterance” now is simply ri
diculous. Here it is. Let us look at it
quite coolly :
Philadelphia, November lj).— Gen.
BY TELEGRAPH
—TO—
THE MORNING NEWS.
FLORIDA.
Address of the State Executive Commit
tee of the Conservative Democratic
• Party.
[Special Telegram to the Morning News.]
The Ollier Chandler.
The notorious lobbyist and political
fraud, William E. Chandler, has gone
down to Florida on a mission from the
National Republican Committee, to assist
the carpet baggers in their attempt to
count Mr. Tilden out in that State. The
New York Sun says he is eminently
qualified for this business by long expe
rience in similar work elsewhere, both as
Secretary of that committee and as one of
Rollins’s Lieutenants in manipulating
New Hampshire.
Chandler and others of the same stamp
have, according to the Sun, had a mo
nopoly of the cotton claims allowed un
der Boutwell and Richardson, of which
Chandler first acquired an intimate
knowledge a6 Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, and then resigned to prosecute
them, in connection with the ring which
was organized for that purpose. These
parties handled the bulk of the Southern
claims of so-called loyal citizens, which
passed while the Republicans had both
Houses of Congress ; and they acted as
the agents and attorneys for Kellogg and
the other carpet -baggers in all their
schemes at Washington.
With this training and these associa
tions, Chandler is a fit person for the ser
vice in which he is now engaged. But
he may discover in the end that conspir
ators are sometimes caught in their own
traps.
The Benefits of a Close Vote in the
House.—The country is to be congratu
lated, in the opinion of the Washington
Star, that the even balance cf parties in
the next House of Representatives will
tend to break up absenteeism. Last see
sion, owing to the large majority of the
dominant party, both Democrats and Re
publicans absented themselves, seeming
to think their presence would Dot affect
the result of votes on legislative measures,
and in consequence there was scarcely a
day of the session when more than two-
thirds of the members were present.
The whisky thieves may congratulate
themselves that the election is over, for
now the time of their deliverance is at
hand. The polls had scarcely closed
when the President signed the pardon
of Avery, one of the head centres of the
St. Louis conspiracy. McKee, the editor
of the Globe -Democrat, will also taste
the sweets of executive clemency. The
President was afraid to pardon these men
while a political contest was pending,
but now he sees no reason why he should
not show his sympathy with swindlers.
Bi-Governor Noyes, the henchman-in
chief of Governor Rutherford B. Hayes,
says that “both parties in Louisiana are
rascals, but that our (Hayes’s) ras
cals are in, and, if it depends upon the
count propose to stay in.” This, coming
as it does from the reflected light of the
Republican candidate himseif, has a very
ugly sound ; but at least it is open and
above-board, and only utters frankly
what a great many of the cffiseholders
more or less gecretly hold.
It is, says the Tribune, a startling but
not a very cheering fact that Mr. John
Morrissey is said to hold more than
$1,230,000 of bets in his pool box. We
never, as a nation, were in a situation
requiring greater sincerity, honesty, and
singleness of purpose in the people; and
to have an event upon which the per
petuity of the republic may turn made
an excuse for reckless gambling, hardly
shows that popular seriousness which is
at least desirable.
W. T. Sherman, Washington, f D. C.:
Instruct Gen. Auger, in Louisiana, and
Gen. Ruger, in Florida, to be vigilant
with the force at their command to pre
serve peace and good order, and to see
that the proper and legal boards of can
vassers are unmolested in the perform
ance of their duties. Should there be
any grounds of suspicion of fraudulent
count on either side, it should be report
ed and denounced at once. No man
worthy of the office of President should
be willing to hold it if counted in or
placed there by fraud. Either party can
afford to be disappointed in the result.
The country cannot afford to have the
result tainted by the suspicion of illegal
or false returns. U. S. Gbant.
This, says the Gazette, is the
“manly utterance” that threw a New
Y T ork and a Philadelphia paper into fevers
of delight, and caused their editorial
pages to burst out ail over into eruptions
of little Grant proclamations. They, as
well as Grant, mistake the temper and
intelligence of the nation. There is a
well grounded suspicion, deeply fastened
in the hearts of this whole people, that
the meditated outrage in the States of
Florida, South Carolina and Louisiana
was planned in the President’s private
office, Chandler and Cameron being
present, and that every step taken in the
plot is directed at Washington. This
suspicion can only be removed by a fair,
open, daylight proceeding. Cipher tele
grams from Chandler to Chamberlain, to
Kellogg and to Stearns, offset any amount
of pretty talk or proclamations; and the
country looks at the pronunciimento
pretty much as it would if Mr. Chandler,
in the midst of a protracted debauch
should hiccough out “manly utterances’
in favor of cold water.
If General Grant had been in earnest
about this “manly utterance” he would
have sent men to Louisiana who possessed
the confidence of the people—men like
Evarts, Bristow, Judge Hoar or Judge
Edmunds. But whom did he send upon
the heels of his “manly utterance?” Lo
gan, Garfield, Kelley, and C. Irving Ditty,
three of whom the country distrusts, and
a fourth that no one outside of Biltimore
ever heard of. Logan, whom the whole
country suspects of complicity in the
Chicago whisky ring; Kelley—“pig-iron
Kelley,” who is utterly devoid of public
confidence ; Garfield, who was connected
with the District ring, credit mobilier
and other jobs; and C. Irving Ditty,
whose judicial faculty of mind is wholly
suspended, and to whom the word “De
mocracy” is like a red rag to a bull. These
are the men whom General Grant sends
to Louisiana to guarantee that there shall
be no fraud in the count—these are
the exponents of General Grant's
“manly utterance,” and the public per
fectly understands their mission to New
Orleans. It is as paltry a piece of the
atrical claptrap as ever “brought down
the house,” with a chef de claque in the
New York Herald. Sensible people are
not misled by its rounds of applause.
They weigh it coolly’. Grant cannot hide
usurpation behind pretty talk, uor sweeten
despotism by smearing his bayonets with
molasses. Let him force on this crime
against representative government, if he
deems it safe : but let him not insult the
intelligence of humanity with any more
“manly utterances.”
A Specimen of Radical Rascality in
South Carolina.
A special dispatch from Columbia to
the Charleston News and Courier of yes
terday says: “ Mr. Richard O. Watts,
acting Democratic county chairman of
Laurens. is here, and to day issued three
warrants, one in the United States Court
and two in the State court?, for the ap
prehension of W. H. Rutherford, the
messenger of the commissioners of elec
tion and candidate for the Legislature
in Laurens county, who is here with
the returns from that county in
his possession. He positively refuses
to turn them over as required by law to
the canvassing board. He is now hiding,
but the police and United States Marshals
are searching for him with the warrants,
and if arrested he will be served with
mandamus to compel him to perform his
duty. The matter will be pressed to the
full extent of the law. It will be remem
bered that Laurens gave 1,112 Democratic
majority. This matter was brought be
fore the State canvassers this morning
for their action, but they claimed to have
no jurisdiction.”
Of course, the Radical candidates in
office, who comprise the board of State
canvassers, have no jurisdiction to pre
vent Radical fraud or compel the surren
der of the returns of a county which
polled a majority of more than a thousand
votes against their party. If, however,
the majority had been the other way
there would have been no lack of juris
diction nor of zeal on the part of the
canvassers, and the recalcitr nt Ruther
ford would ere this have been hunted
down by a regiment of soldiers and
United States Marshals, and made to dis
gorge at the point of the bayonet.
Tallahassee, Fla., November 16.—The
leaders of both parties have been diligently
at work to-day, and the following address
was framed and will be issued by the Demo
cratic Executive Committee to-morrow :
Tallahassee, November 16, 1876.—The
State Executive Committee of the Conserv
ative Democratic party have the pleasure of
announcing to the people of Florida
the entire success of the reform
ticker, electoral. Congressional and State, by
safe majorities, which are given below. Both
branches of the Legislature have also been
carried by the Conservative Democratic
party by good working majorities, so that
our next Governor will be properly sup
ported in the wise measures of reform and
retrenchment which the people have now
clearly demanded at the ballot box, and so
greatly needed. The contest that the peo
ple have waged against the corrupt
party in power has been fought against
great odds and at serious disad
vantage. The candidate of the Re
publican party for Governor had ail the
patronage of the State government at his
control and all the machinery of the elec
tion laws in his hands. Officers have been
displaced by him, election precincts have
been abolished or removed to inconvenient
locations,, and the Conservative voters have
been discriminated against. But the spirit of
the people has been thoroughly aroused,
and they have spoken against the con
tinuance in power of the corrupt govern
ment that has so long oppressed
and impoverished them. The con
test has been of far greater pro
portions than the people of Florida have
realized. At present, while it is uncertain
what course the unprincipled officials of
South Carolina aud Louisiana will pursue
as to the counting of the votes in those
States, the entire country ia looking anx
iously to see what we have done, and it will
be our proud boast iu future that when the
reform party of the country depended on
the Conseivative Democrats ol our little
State, Florida was equal to the emergency.
In some of the couuties infamous frauds are
already being prepared to thwart the de
clared will of the people, and we are
threatened with a repetition of some of the
scenes of the past, when corrupt officials
have counted out duly elected candidates.
But the State board, according to its own
decision, has the authority to throw out
illegal votes and declare the true result, aud
the people of the entire country will not
tolerate any invasion of their rights in this
momentous crisis of our'history. We look
with confidence to the canvassers
discharge their high and responsible duties
faithfully and impartially. The figures
given below in proof of our victory are
mostly from official sources, and wo believe
them to be entirely reliable. When the
State board completes its duties aud purges
the vote of all fraud our majority will
largely increased over the vote as here
stated. Iu some of the Republican counties
the vote exceeds by hundreds the voting
p qmlation, according to the actual census
ballots have been misconstrued, ballot
boxes have been stuffed, Democratic chal
lengers have been excluded from the polls,
aud other outrages hwe been committed
for the purpose of stifling the voice
of the people. But the committee has
collected abundant evidence or their crimes
and will ut the proper lime lay it before the
country.
Fellow-citizens, the patience and modera
tion you have displayed in the trying scenes
you have lately parsed through, have won
the confidence of the world. Our canvass
has been fairly conducted, and our acts will
bear examination. We must await the ver
dict of the country npou our case. Confi
dent that truth aud right will prevail, let us
calmly wait for fhat verdict, and it will
bring with it, to our political opponents as
well as ourselves, tho blessings of good gov
ernment, peace and prosperity, reconcilia
tion and good will.

CONFAB.
New Osleans, November 16 —The follow
ing is the reply of the Republicans to the
conftnunication of the Democrats inviting a
conference :
New Orleans, November 1G.—Gentle
men : The majority of the undersigned, to
whom your note of the 14th was addressed,
only arrived in this city yesterday evening.
Weliave, therefore, been unable to reply
until this morning, and can only regret that
your communication should have beeu given
to the press immediately upon ns delivery,
and without the possibility of an auswer
accompanying it. You remark that
you are informed that we came at tho
request of the President, to see that the
board of canvassers make a fair coant of the
votes actually cast, aud ask that we meet
and confer, lu order that such influence as
we possess may bo exerted in behalf of
such a canvass of the votes actually cast as,
by its fairness and impartiality, shall com
mand «he respect and acquiescence of the
American people of ail parties. We join
heartily with you in counsels of peace and
the expression of an earnest desire for a
perfectly honest and just declaration of tho
results of the recent election in Louisiana,
by its lawfully constituted authorities, and,
we may add, that we kuow of no reason to
doubt that such a declaration wiii be made.
But we do not see the propriety or ntility
of a conference on the basis and subject to
the limitations you propose, for we have no
such duty imposed oa us. And, as suggested
by the clause of your note first quoted,
we are almost requested to be wit
nesses of what shall occur in the canvass
of tho votes,without power or legal influence
over the result or over the means by which,
under the laws of Louisiana, tho result is to
be determined. We cannot doubt that in
this you, upon reflection, will concur with
us. We are here as private citizens, with no
official power ; we therefore cannot super
cede or modify any laws of the State ; nor
have we any right- to control or iuflaeuce
any of its officers as to the manner in which
they shall perform the ministerial or judicial
duties imposed upon them by its laws ; and
should we, being strangers and with
out official functions, attempt this, we
should be condemned by the people of
every State in the Union for an improper in
terference with local administration. The
following extract lrom the laws of Louisana
shows that the canvassing board is expressly
required in certain cases to exercise judicial
as well as ministerial functions : Section 3.
“That in such canvass and compilation the
retui uing officers shall observe the following
order : they shall compile first the state
ments from all polls or voting places at
which there shall have been a fair, free
and peaceful registration and election.
Whenever from any poll or votiDg
p ace there shall be received tho statement
of any supervisor of registration orcomrais-
t-ioner of election iu form, as required by
s ction 26 of this act, on the affidavit of
three or more persons, of any riot, tumult,
acts of violence, intimidation, armed dis
turbance, bribery, or corruot 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 com
pile the statements from such polls
or voting place, until tho statements from
all other polls or voting places shall have
been cauvassed aud compiled. The return
ing officers shall then proceed to investigate
the statements of riot, tumult, acts of vio
lence, intimidation, armed disturbance,
bribery or corrupt influence at any such
poll or voting place, and if from the evi
dence of anch statement they shall be con
vinced that such riot, tumult, acts of
violence, intimidation, armed disturbance,
bribery or corrupt influence, did not ma
terially interfere with the parity and free
dom at such poll or voting p’aco, or did not
prevent a sufficient number of qualified
voters thereat from registering or voting
to materially cLange the result of the elec
tion, then, and not otherwise, the said re
turning officers shall canvass and compute
the vote of such poll or voting place with
thoso previously canvassed and compiled;
but, if ilie said returning officers shall not
be fully satisfied thereof, it shall be their
duty to examine further testimony in regard
thereto, and to this end they shall have
power to send for persons and
papers, if, alter such examination,
they (the said returning officers,) shall
be convinced that paid riot, tumult, acts of
violence, intimidation, disturbance, bribery
or corrupt influence did materially in
terfere with the purity and freedom o! elec
tion at such poll or voting place, or did pre
vent a sufficient number of qualified elec
tors thereat from registering aud voting to
materially change the result of the election,
then said returning officers shall cot can
vass or compile the statement of the votes
of such poll or voting place, but
shall exclude from their returns, providing
that auy person interested iu said election
by reason of being a candidate for office,
shall be allowed a hearing before said re
turning officers upon making application
within the time allowed for the forwarding
of the returns of 6»id election.” Hence, if
there were any facts requiring the judg
ment of the board upon the validity of any
election or r< turns as affected by such
frauds or violence, it would be a manifest
interference with State rights and local
self-government for persons like ourselves,
without official rights, to attempt to in
fluence or control its judicial action. Had a
corresponding board in the State of New
York in 1863 been authorized to pass
upon tho fraudulent return o* votes of the
city of New York that year, and a delegation
of citizens of Louisiana, however respecta
ble, attempted to influence its judicial action
upon the facts presented to it under the laws
of that State, such attempt would have beeu
universally condemned. If the duties of
the canvassing board of Louisiana were
merely ministerial or clerical, as in the case
of any officer charged by law with the duty
of verifying and declaring the result of any
any election or investigation with no
discretion, as when the President
of the Senate counts and declares
the votes of the electors of sevoral States
in tho election of President and Vice Presi
dent under the Constitution of the United
States, a different case would be presented.
It is in our judgment vital to the preserva
tion of constitutional liberty that the habit
of obedience to the forms of law should be
sedulously inculcated and cultivated and
that the resort to extra unconstitutional
modes of redress for even actual griovancts
should be avoided and condemned as
revolutionary, disoigauizing and tcndiDg to
disorder and anarchy.
To reduce the whole question, therefore,
to the mere clerical duty of counting the
votes actually cast, (as proposed by yon iu
distinction from votes legally cast), aud re
turned, irrespective of the question whether
they are fraudulently or violently cast, or
otherwise vitiated, involves a nullification of
the provisions of the Jaws of Louisiana
which have already been adjudicated as to
t’je.r validity by the Supreme Court,
and would be wholly unjustifiable
hero as well as iu any other
State of tho Union whioh had
provided it was to protect the rights of
voters and the purity of the ballot. We
caonot, therefore, concur in your proposi
tion for a conference on that* basis. Very
respectfully,

New Orleans, November 16.—Ex-Gov. J.
Madison Wells, Gen. Tbos. C. Anderson, G.
Casanove and Louis McKenna to-day took
the oath of office, filed the necessary papers
with the Secretary of State, aud went into
executive session in a room assigned them
in the State House. Nothing has transpired
regarding their proceedings. Gov. Kellogg
stated this evening that the vacancy in the
board had not yet been nlled. The board
adjourned to meet on Saturday noon. Gov.
Wells in answer to an inquiry whether or not
reporters aud spectators would be admitted
said that it was the wish, and he evidently
expressed the sentiment of the members,
that tho board should sit with closed doors
during the canvassing aud compiling of re
turns, except when information was wanted
concerning a particular poll or matter con
nected with the election, or when some
point was to be argued before the board,
aud he said that neither the Governor nor
auy other State officer, if his wish
was regirded, would have free access
to the room during the sessions of the
board. If the board wanted legal advice he
said they would call on the Attorney Gen
eral, but at no other time would they be ad
mitted.
Both Mr. Wells and Mr. Anderson said
that the board was an entirely independent
body and would not be controlled in its ac
tion in any way, either by the Executive or
by any other parties.
WHAT RUSSIA MEANS.
London, November 16.—The PaU Malt
Gazette this afternoon states, that up to
this evening the Porte’s objections to the
conference had not been removed. The
same journal in & leading editorial says
that it believes Russia intends war. “She
is preparing to insist upon a claim which
she believes the Porte will refuse, aud is get
ting ready to impose them by force.” The
situation, it says, is but little’different from
wbat it would be if for the word “armis
tice” the words “Russian demands
of reform submitted” were substituted,
and the Iguatieff ultimatum thus modified
were lying before the Porte.

DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT IN THE
8«jUTH CAROLINA BOARD OF CANVASSERS’
CASE.
Columbia, November 16.—The Supreme
Court met at 12:30. Counsel for the board
of canvassers asked for an order instructing
the board to proceed to canvass the returns
to save time, in a strictly ministerial capaci
ty. The order was granted, but subse
quently amended, on motion of Democrats

New York, November 16.—The Mf thodiat
Missionary Committee this ovening appro-
priati d $55,000 for the Iudian branch, $8,000
tor the Bulgarian branch, $16,000 for the

Ii6W the Democrat* Can Oat the Vote
of Florida, Etc., Cone ted.
United States Senator Whyte, of Mary
land, in an interview with a Sun repor
ter said:
He is confident that Mr. Tilden has
carried Louisiana and Florida, and prob
ably South Carolina, and that in spite of
the returning boards, the votes for Mr.
Tilden in these States will be counted for
him. The votes of such electors will be
certified to the President of the Senate,
and copies will also be sent to Senators.
When the Senate and the House sit to
gether to couut the votes in February,
one teller will be appointed by the Senate
and two by the House, who will count and
declare the votes as they are handed to
them by the Vice President. Should the
Vice President decline to produce the cer
tificates in favor of Mr. Tilden, a Senator
may produce copies of them and move that
the votes be counted. The Vice President
may also decline to put this motion to the
joint convention of the two houses, in
which case the tellers will be anked to
put the motion to a vote. As two of the
tellers will be Democrats aud one a Re
publican, a majority of them can decide
as to the propriety of putting the motion,
and as the Democratic majority in the
Hou-e is large enough to control the
joint convention it is plain that the votes
of all the States that are really cast for
Mr. Tilden may thus be counted. Should
the Senate withdraw and decline to count
these votes the matter will go to the
House of Representatives for decision, as
in the case of a failure to elect by the
people. Iu that event of course Mr.
Tilden would be elected President of the
United States.

Wheeler’s Record on Louisiana Cor
ruptions.
When the minority report was made in
the United States House in 1874 on the
infamously corrupt action of the Louisi
ana returning board, it contained the fol
lowing prophetic announcement. Mind
you, this minority report endeavored to
justify the Republican frauds upon the
grounds of previous Democratic ex
cesses. Here is the prophetic passage:
“But the evil goes much further. Upon
tho elections in Louisiana, as in other
States, depends the right to their seats of
Senators and Representatives who are to
aid in making laws for the whole country,
and the choice of Presidential electors,
upon whose vote may depend the title of
the office of the President of the United
States himself. Ho party in the United
States will like to submit to a remit decided
by the votes of electors chosen by such means.
Each party will be likely to credit charges
of fraud and violence made against its
own side. There is, in our judgment
the greatest danger that these elements
may enter into the next national election
to so great an extent that it may the
real expression of the will of ilia people
in doubt.”
Wm. A. Wheeler signed that report.
He can hardly wheel round now and con
sent to be elected Vice President by
fraud.

“I am willing to risk my reputation as
a public man,” wrote Edward Hine to the
Liverpool Mercury, “if ihe worst case of
small pox cannot be cured in three days,
simply by the use of cream of tartar. One
ounce of cream of tartar dissolved in a
pint of water, drank at intervals, when
cold, is a certain, never failing remedy.
It has cured thousands, never leaves a
mark, never causes blindness, and avoids
tedious lingering.”
This extraordinary statement is printed
in the N. Y. Express: “Chandler said, just
before he left the city, Tve got one man
already down South, and the Democrats
will need a d—d fast train to get the
inside track of him. I don’t propose to
b^euchred in this matter, and Hayes has
got to be the next President, whether he’s
elected or not.”
Patience.—The New York Heraldbids
the excited to have “patience,” as the
children of Israel waited in the wilder
ness “forty years.” This is “good ad
vice,” but if the children of Israel had
given themselves up to the worahip of
the golden calf they never would have
xeaohed the promised land.

The New York Sun says : “ The dif
ference between the claims of the Demo
crats and the Republicans in the disputed
Southern States is that while the former
give the figures from the different coun
ties and parishes to support theirs, the
Republicans make only the general claim
that they have carried the State, and talk
of frauds and outrages which they fail to
sustain by any evidence. This last is very
suspicious. The Republican dispatches
fail ?o indicate any honest confidence in
success on a fair count. Taking the re
ports from the Democratic and Republi
can sources, no man accustomed to weigh
ing evidence can fail to see that the proof,
so far as it hts been presented, is all on
the Democratic side.”
The reasons for this difference between
the Radicals and Democrats in the man
ner of stating their respective claims of
majorities is easily explained. The Demo
crats expect to verify their statements by
an actual fair count of the ballots, while
the Radicals rely upon the array of bayo
nets. The exact majorities claimed by the
Democrats were ascertained through the
ballot-box on the day of the election,
while the indefinite majorities claimed by
the Radicals were arranged in Zach Chan
dler's committee room io Washington two
months ago.

The Legitimate Fruits of Kad’ealistn
The Republican party since its incep
tion has, says the Norfolk Virginian.
ignored the Constitution, has invaded the
rights of the States, and trampled under
foot the liberties of the Southern people,
until at last it is confronted with the con
sequences of its own folly. This party at
the North have looked complacently upon
an usurpation of powers in the South
which, if brought home to their own
doors aud exercised in the North, would
have provoked a storm of indignation
and denunciation. An exigency has arisen
when the election of the President may
hinge upon a fair and just return of the
vote of Louisiana, the whole machinery
of whose government has, by means of
unconstitutional Federal interference,
been retained in the hands of dishonest
Radical officials, who may precipitate
upon the country a crisis at which both
parties may well stand appalled.
No better illustratin, says the Virgin-
iano could be afforded the American peo
ple of the wisdom of our forefathers in
jealously guarding the rights of the
States, and of the danger to the whole
country which necessarily attends the
infraction of the sovereignty of the
States by Federal authority. The peo
pie of the North thought little aDd cared
less for the fraud which deprived Louisi
ana of the government she had chosen.
That very fraud now threatens to substi
tute the chaise of two negroes fir the voice
of the American people.
We have no fear that this will be ac
complished, but it is a lesson to the coun
try which we trust will . never be forgot
ten.
The cotton market is still buoyant and
strong. Since the signing of the armis
tice between the Forte and the great
powers has given r promise of peace, cot
ton has advanced in tho neighborhood of
two cents per pound, or about ten dollars
per bale. The crop now harvesting in
the Ssuth is only a little less than the
great one of last year. It is estimated
that over four millions of bales will be the
yield. About twelve hundred thousand
bales have already been forwarded to
market, leaving about three millions still
in the country. Three millions of bales
with an advance of ten dollars on each,
add thirty millions of dollars to the
wealth of the cotton States. This is an
important gain to the impoverished
South, and should the bony ant tone con
tinue, as now seems probable, will gteatly
help business here and oonseq
throughout the country.
