“Mexican jurisprudence” is the new
name for the law under which the organs
claim “that Hayes is elected and will be
nested.”
The grand Tilden mass meeting in
Washington, was addressed by Generals
MoOlellan, Coarse, Banning, McMahon,
Denver and others.
Communications.—’Whan oommnnica
tions aro sent ns we most have the name
of a responsible party accompanying it.
Otherwise the document is thrown into
the fire—some times without looking at
it.
Miss Julia Grant, the infant daughter
of Col. Fred Grant, received Now Year’s
calls at the White House last Monday.
The little miRS, who is six months old, was
arrayed in a dainty Frenoh robe aet off
by a gold necklace and diamonds, and re
ceived her callers in her nurse's arms.
The Union (Montgomery Blair, editor;
says: “Tilden will be 1’rosideut unless
the due course of law is defeated by
force.” Garfield, Morton, Hpencer and
Ingalls declare “that the loyal people will
not permit the fraudulent intimidation
triumph of the solid South to be a sue
cess."
K
The Tower or the House.—The spe
cial committee of the House appointed to
examine into the question, have agreed
that the President of the Sonato has no
power to count the electoral vote, and the
House has equal authority with the Hen
ate in making said count.
The Indianapolis Sentinel, commenting
on the rumor that James Gordon Ben
nett had purchased the New York Tima,
remarks: “When Bennett wants to specu
late in that sort of property he will doubt
less purchase the entire machinery of a
returning board mill instead of one of its
smokestacks."
General Ahsemblv op Georgia.—It
met yesterday in Atlanta. Henator Les
ter was eJeotod i'resident of the Senate,
and Representative Bacon Speaker of tho
House. Our special says there is an army
of ofHoo-soekors in the city, and intense
excitement prevails over tho election of
State offioerB and United Htatos Senator.
Bennktt-May Fiasco.—They fought a
duel. They exchanged throe shots, no
body was hurt and they wont home. They
were satisfied. Perhaps the pistols wore
not loaded. It is rather strange that men
should shoot at each other at a short die-
tauco threo times and miss. Bennett ap
pears better at polo than pistol practioe.
'Ihk Now York World oxprossos gratifi
cation at the kuowledgo that the Presi
dent regards the authors of alloged
outrages upon Amerioau citizens in Mexi
co as “persons entitled to no respect
whatevor”; and with a groat deal of perti
nency adds: “Tho country would be
still more pleased to see the President
treat Kellogg, Packard, Wells and others
who have been committing outrages on
American citizens, not in Moxioo, but in
Louisiana, as ‘persons entitled to no
respect whatever.' ”
United States Army.—It consists of
nearly 22,000 men, and 4,000 of these sre
quartered on tho South and half of them
in the States of South Carolina and Lou
isiana. Knowing this, the Uadioals have
the cheek to claim negroes were intimida
ted by the whites. The soldiers swear
they wore not, but what is the oath of a
soldier in comparison with a cooked affi
davit from the custom house ? Bring on
another horse and more troops. If there
lied been a soldier to every negro iu tho
two States, the affidavits of bulldozing
would have been the same.
Louisiana. —Now Orleans is quiet. The
militia has disappeared like morning
mists, but they cau be summoned at a
moment's notice. What is tho result?
The weakness of tho Packard government
baa been fully demonstrated. It can only
exist in the presenoe of U. S. troops.
The people will neither recognize its
authority nor pay taxes to its officers. It
oan pass laws in the State Capitol, but
they are futile outside of its walls.
The courts are in harmony with
the Democrats. Their policemen
guard the city. Their judges are
upon the bench and in the building erect
ed for their assembling. The Radicals
have nothiug but the oapitol. Lot the
troops go and they could not hold it a
seooud. The repudiation of a set of
scoundrels have been portrayed strongly
and outhusiastioally. The moral effect
will be felt throughout the nation- The
end has not yet been reached.
ANOTHER POINT METTLED.
A decision of some interest baa been
rendered uuder the usury laws of New
York. The plaintiff in the oaae had pur
chased of the defendant ajpromissory note
which turned out to bo void on aocount
of the illegal rate of interest mentioned in
it. The action was to recover the money
paid for the note, and finally reached the
Supreme Court, where it was decided in
the plaintiff’s favor on two grounds:
First, it was held that in selling the note
there was an implied war
ranty on the part of the vendor that
it was what it purported to be—a legal,
valid instrument. Second, as the note
was not a legal instrument, it was entire-
ly without value, the plaintiff received
nothing for his money, and upon such to
U1 failure of consideration was entitled to
reoover his payment. Au exchange well
atya there can, in this instance, be no
doubt of the coincidence of law and jus
tice, whatever may be thought of the ex
pediency of the laws’ intervention to pro
tect people from the ooneequenoee of
their own carelessness or ignoranoe in
purchasing worthless paper.
C. I. SENATE—DEMOCRATIC IN
TWO YEARN.
The Republicans aro now fighting not
so mncb'for the Presidency as for exist-
tence. The House is Democratic now
and for the coming session ‘and the Sen-
nte will become such. The installation
of Tilden, bringing inevitably Democratic
Government* in South Carolina and Lou
isiana, would result in seating three Sen
ators from those States,whioh would make
the Senate stand 31* Republicans and 37
Democrats. With a President, House and
lacking oniy two of a majority in the Sen
ate, the Democrats would have full con
trol of every department, and the Repub
licans being in a hopeless minority eould
array no formidable opposition against
the settled policy of the administration.
Thon indeed would civil law be re-estab
lished, the military compelled to obey it,
and the Union be in fact as well as theory
restored. This explains more clearly the
cause of the desperate fight beiDg made
by the Republicans. The stake for which
they are playing is not to lose all control
of ,the Government. Their correspond
ents and editors are beginning to admit
the desperation of their cose.
Inevitable defeat awaits the Republican
party, for it is founded on prejudice and
hate, and pitiable passions which should
have been buried long ago. Their whole
system in the South i> that intelligence
and wealth should be controlled by pov
erty and ignorauce, forgetting the grand
axiom that everywhere the mon who own
tho land mast rulo it. Democracy is
truly national—doing injustice to none,
and maintaining equality before the law
to all—and it must prevail, for right in
the long run, is ever might.
On the 4th of noxt March 33 of tho 76
Senators will be Democrats. Ouo seat in
Illinois, one in South Carolina aud two in
Louisiana—four in all—are undcoided and
for practical purposes three may be re
garded as remaining so, until 1879, when
the terms of six Domoorats aud seventeen
Republicans expire. The term of one of
the Louisiana Senators will expire,
so there will be 27 Democrats and 22 Re
publicans bolding over. There really
should bo 52 holding over, but until the
political complexion of South Carolina
nnd Louisiana are deoided tho parties will
stand as stated with threo Senators—
South Carolina and Louisiana undecided.
It may possibly be 30 Democrats and 22
Itepbulicans, or 27 Democrats and 25 Re
publicans—anyway the Democrats will
have have a majority of thoso holding
over, even if Illinois re-elects a Republic
can, nnd Republican members are admit
ted from Louisiana and South Carolina—
and will control the organization.
The ooming House, the 45th, is Demo
cratic, aud its Speaker will preside at the
organization of tho m xt body, the 4titb,
so the Domoorats have the organizing of
both Houses ou March 4th, 1879. If at
the elections in 1878 tho Democrats main
tain tlieir majority in the House, tho Re
publicans would find themselves in a
hopeless minority in both House and Sen
ate and unable to prevent the admission
of any Senator from the Southern States,
and the Democrats would proceed at once
to oust the illegally returned Sonators
from Louisiana and South Carolina if
they bod been admitted. This would
give them 30 votes, and 39 is a majority.
Twentyofour StateH choose Sonators in
1878-9. Auioug them are Alabama, Ar
kansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Florida,
Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maryland, Missouri, Now York, North
Caroliua and South Carolina, and eight
Republican Sonators from these States
are certain to be replaced by eight Dem
ocrats, and Democracy has the strong
probability of two more from theso, with
ohaucos from New Hampshire, Oregon,
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Ten gained
will give thorn a clear majority of Sena
tors.
Tho Republicans are well aware of
these facts, and hence,tho bitter contest
they have begun, and the conspiracy to
refuse seats to Lamar and Grover and
support tbo diotum of tho Returning
Boards. Spite of all endeavors their
lease on power will wholly cease iu their
stronghold, tho Senate, after March 4th,
1879. The future is bright with hope.
TRUE PHILANTHROPY AND HON
EY GETTING UNITED.
An artiole from the New York Herald
published elsewhere in this paper de
serves more than a passing notico. It is
regarding “Silent Sufferers.” Tho heart
ache and anguish of many a family in
this and other cities must be torriblo and
perhaps known only to themselves. They
havo aeon better days, probably rolled in
the lap of opulence, or belongod to the
comfortable class midway between pov
erty and wealth. Others had fathom,
husbands, sons and brothers whose sala
ries furnished home with comforts and
oft times luxuries, and kept off the gaunt
speotre of hunger and bitterness.
Hundreds of such are now
undergoing pangs of pain and deprivation
whioh cannot be disoribed. To bodily
endurance must be added mental anxiety
and terror of the future. Their destitu
tion is really pitiable, for they have the
prido to retain something of the old self,
the oulture to autioipate the uncertainty
and care of the morrow and perhaps its
utter hopelessness. Auxious and willing
to work they oan obtain no employment.
What can a delicate, tenderly nurtured
woman do in these times of depression
and sorrow ? It is not easy to drop at
once from the position of mistress to that
of menial, and at wages which can hardly
keep soul and body together. They can
not exist like those who have been trained
as servants or operatives, and besides
the occupation could not be ob
tained if it wore sought. Many would
gladly take menial service if it oould be
procured. Numbers of the very best
families in the city do their own house
hold and kitohen work, washing and iron
ing, but often, we fear, rations are short.
The effeots of poverty are far more seri
ous to them than the extreme poor. They
cannot beg, and they have known some
thing of oomfort, and mental anxiety is
added to the physical deprivation forever
present in the fear of what is to come.
There was never a time when the South
ern girls were more anxious to earn some
thing for themselves and others. They
are untiring and unselfish. Their aspira
tions are nohle, and independence their

harder to be let down from comparative
luxury, and hear the step of cankering
want approach nearer and nearer day by
day, with an eagerness for employment,
to labor the fingers to the bone, and yet
be enabled to find nothing to do.
The greatest philanthropy oar capital
ists could exhibit would be to establish
manufactories where the class of whioh
we are speaking could find employment.
Industries of every charaoter wisely con
ducted and managed by enterprise will
flourish in the South. This has been ful
ly demonstrated. Capital in its most sel
fish mood does good, for it creates and
multiplies different forms of labor. Tbore
are a number of establishments which
oonld be erected here at small cosi,which
wonld prove rennmerative, and at
the same time be the means
of diffusing joy and happiness to those
of whom we have been speaking. Take
for instance a knitting faotory, olothing
bureau and works of that character. The
task is not so haavy but any one can en
gage in it and be glad to do so. It
would serve also to save many a poor soul
from eternal rain. It would be a paying
charity, and productive of more blessings
to the intelligent than all the money that
was over spent on the benighted heathen.
Care for home first, should bo tbe motto
in oar land ; then stretch tho hand across
the water with tbe surplus, if there be
any.
When first our Public Schools were
founded there was some prejudice against
them, bnt it was quickly dissipated when
the trustees, composed of prominent and
influential citizens, sont their children
there, and all followed their example.
Such industries as those under question
might be inaugurated in a similar man
ner. Blessed will they be callod; true
philanthropists will they prove who will
venture in such undertakings, if from no
higher motive than to make money for
themselves.

HOW TO NAKE A PREKIDENT.
A PENNSYLVANIAN WHO HAS A PATENT PRO
CESS IN HIS POCKET.
Special dispatch to th> Baltimore Gazette ]
Washington, January 4.—Among other
indications of tho Radical conspiracy to
count in Hayes is tho following : A dis
tinguished politician of Pennsylvania, a
member eleot to the next Congress,and one
Republicans sent to Louisiana by Grant,
came here several days ago with an entirely
fresh scheme, on whioh he wanted to
olaim a patent. The substance of it was
to have the Republicans in both
houses filibuster over tho committee
reports and constitutional questions till
about the Recoud day of March.
Thou Grant was to hand in his resigna
tion, which was to bo accepted,aud acting
Vice President Ferry would at once as
sume the reins of government. The law
in that oase would be used to temporarily
defeat Governor Tilden by ordering that
a new election take place in November
next. It was designed, in order to make
this plan more likely to succeed, to offer
the Presidency of the Senate to some
liberal like Ooukling. Tho Republican
referred to started for the President to
unfold bis solution, but on his way stop
ped to call on Secretary Cameron. His
interview with that gentleman quieted his
nerves, and he told his friouds later that
Cameron said his plan was not necessary
as everything was fixed.

A DAY OF MOURNING*
THU RESPONSIBILITY OF HUBLINO PEOPLE
SUDDENLY INTO ETERNITY.
New York Sun.]
One hundred dead! Killed—many of
them burned up, without warning; a
death at once sudden and attended by
unspeakable suffering! A hundred dead;
tbe names are not all known, and many a
family will watch and wait for days in un
certainty and anxiety leBt some one of its
owu absent members may be among the
unrecognized and unrecognizable slain.
Who killed these people? The Lake
Shore Railroad Company. This company
has assumed the duties and responsibili*
tics of common carriers of passengers,
and where tbeir road passes over bridges
they wero legally bound to see to it that
the bridges were not only fitrongly bnilt
originally, but that they wero kept and
preserved in sound and safe condition.
This duty they neglected, and henoe it is
that to a vast number of families the hol
idays have been suddenly converted into
days of mourning. It may be impossible
to punish the managers of the road crim
inally ; hat one hundred civil- suits, re
sulting in five thousand dollars damages
in every one, wonld mulct tbe road in half
a million dollars aggregate, the influence
of which conld not fail to be salutary on
other companies. Bridges and buildings
aro made frail to save money. These
lives were exposed and destroyed, from
parsimony. Let those who destroyed
them be, at least, made to suffer pecunia
rily, even if they oannot be imprisoned.
A MEAN INCENDIARY,
CHON IN’S CASE.
MORTON BUNS AGAINST THE COMING MAM—
THE DEMOCRATS ANXIOUS FOB INVESnilA-
TION.
A Washington special of Friday aaj4
Governor Grover wet before Morton’s
oommittee to-day for a considerable time,
and after a searching oroea-flre left a
most favorable impression on all the Re
publicans present, eppaaentlj on even
Morton himself. The Utter began tha in
vestigation in hie peonliarlj sappish and
insolent manner, bat Governor Grover's
diguified, quiok and lnoid replies entirely
disarmed his antagonist, and with an evi
dent air of disappointment he changed
his tone and treated the Governor with
marked respect. He had found a foeman
worthy of his steel.
From the opening to the close of the
inquiry it was nothing but a succession
of defeats for Morton, who wriggled out
of one position into another, and showed
the nervons anxiety of one who finds him
self with an elephant on his hands. He
began by throwing oat inquiries that
tendod to impugn Governor Grover’s hon
esty in his decision, especially hinting
that he had acted on suggestions which
oarne from the East. But the Governor
drove him from this position by stating
that his decision had been carefully com
piled, after duly bearing arguments on
both sides of the oase and purely on his
own judgment as a lawyer. His replies
proved him wonderfully versed in legal
lore aud precedents bearing on tbia oase.
Morton was equally nusuooeesful when
ho approached the Governor as to hiB
judicial power over the count and issuing
of certificates, for that gentleman quoted
on authority from Morton’s own state
ment, showing that the duty of issuing
commissions and oertifioates of eleotion
are political acts, aud tbe responsibility
rusts uloue on the discretion of the exec
utive ns a conservator ortha Constitution.
He regarded the Constitution paramount
when any conflict was discovered between
its provisions and those of the Oregon
Constitution, and had aoted accordingly
in certifying io Crouin'a election. Finally
Morton, with a good show of consequence,
referred to Mr. Patrick'sviait, outol whioh
Republicans have tried to extract some
thing sensational, and on this point Gov
ernor Grover replied with outting indif
ference that the gentleman bed called on
him and retnuined perhaps ten minutes.
That ho wus very much ooonpisd with
official duties at the time, nnd regarding
the call merely as one of oonrtesy on him
as Governor, had paid little or no atten-
to Mr. Patrick’s remarks. And when the
Governor said he knew nothing of any
transfer of monoy from New York, Mor
ton pettishly remarked he was not willing
to oontinue the examination farther while
Senator Mitcholl was absant, and oovered
his retreat by postponing tbe inquiry till
to-morrow, when tbe investigation will
proba bly be concluded.
"but Gov. Tilden lays.
N. Y. Hern Id’s Washington Correspondence.]
Mr. Tilden is more hopeful than he has
been for a long time past of a settlement
of tho Presidential issue whioh will lead
to his peaceful inauguration. He regards
tho fuel that Mr. Conkling was substi
tuted for Logan on the Senate Joint Com
mittee on the Eleotoral couut and his
speech in tho Senate on Thursday last as
rather favorable signs, and thiuks that
tho abandonment or tha theory that the
Vice President alone couuts the votes by
most of the Republican Senators looks
favorable toward a fair settlement of the
dispute. While Gov. Tilden ia hopeful and
thinks that the Republican scheme of
counting him out is so complicated and
requires so many violations of the law
thar it may easily fall through, he is yet
not confident. His friends say that, at
the same time, it may be regarded as cer
tain that ex-Gov. Tilden will take recourse
to no incendiary or fratricidal measures
if Gov. Hayes should be inaugurated by
what Mr. Tilden may oonsider force and
fraud. If the House does not acknowledge
Hayes’ election, and eleots him, he will
consent to ho inaugurated, and probably
appoint a Cabinet, but he will in nowise
countenance an armed nprieing, and
would not even command a revolutionary
army if ho were certain of captaring with
it the Government. These, say some
intimate friends of Mr. Tilden, are his
sentiments, and we give their statement
for what it is worth. Mr. Tilden is so reti
cent that bo will not be interviewed nnder
any circumstances whatsoever, and hence
there is no way of ascertaining whether
his viows are represented with absolute
correctness. The statements that Mr.
Tildon menus to bo present at the eleotO'
ral count in Washington in February are
also denied by his friends, who say that
he would consider it indecent for him, aa
a candidate, to personally meddle with
the settlement of this momentous issue,
and (hat ho will not try to bias the aotion
of Congress by his personal presenoe one
way or the other.

The Turpentine Interval ol Georgia
Wo bad a vory plensnut and inetruotive
interview, yesterday, with Mr. Van llok-
kelon, of Wilmington, N. O. This gen.
tietnau baa made a very large pure-base of
land iu Appling oounty, noar Hailey, and
tnuiuonoed operations in November laat.
Ho baa now over one hundred bauds at
work, and thirty crops of 10,000 boxes
each in full blast.
Eaob of these crops, iu an ordinary sea
son, will yield 2,200 barrels of spirilB of
turpentine, worth at this moment forty-
seven oents per gallon, aud 250 barrels of
rosiu, containing 28!) pounds to the bar
rel.
To manage thirty crops about 80 bands
are needed, inoludiog dippers, teamsters,
eto. Still, there is ample margin for
profit in the premises.
It is the intention of Mr. Uokkelen to
enlarge bis bnsiness greatly, and, doubt
less, bis example will be followed by
numerous other citizens of tbe “old
North" State, also who will be glad to
exchange tbeir exhausted turpentine plan
tations for the virgin forests of Georgia.
Onr informant eays great care should
be used in boxing the trees not to over
do tbe matter. Not more than three ori
fices should be made in tbe largest pines,
and fully .ix inobee of spaoe left between
them, ft ie the neglect of this precaution
that often oaose. tbe wholesale destruc
tion of the turpentine forests. Tbe boxes
aro dipped abont seven times per annum,
and no tree Bhould be boxed after tbe sap
begins to rise, s.y early in March.
The turpentine bnsiness of Georgia,
now in its infancy, is destined at no dis.
taut day to be one of tbe greatest ele
ments of wealth in tbs State.—Telegraph

nor otherwise did Superintendent Cogin . agreeing before leaving to surrender tbs

“the battle or looxoot moontaih.
Walker’s celebrated painting of the
Battle of Lookout Mountain is tbe prop
erty of General Joe Hooker. Beoently
tbe picture has been in the possession of
s Captain Crandall, who bss been exhibit
ing it in various parts of the oountry.
The Rochester Union states that, while in
(bat city, Crandall informed tbe Mayor
that be had received a letter written by
some “Southern rebel,” threatening to
burn tbe piotnr* if it was, not speedily
romoved elsewhere. A couple of nights
tbereafter.an attempt wss made to aet tbe
painting on fire, and tbe Com
mon Connoit promptly offered i
reward for tbe disoovery of the per
petrator. A detootive took tha matter in
band, and was not long in satisfying him
self that Crandall had himself underta
ken tbe job. Having, as he believed, tbe
necessary evidence to oonviot, be osnsed
tbe arrest of tbe captain. At firat Crandall
stoutly maintained his innooenoe, but
finding that tbe authorities desired not so
mnoh to keep him in confinement as to
cause his departure from tbs oity, be ac
knowledged to firing tbs piotnre, laying
that be must have been drank when he
as thay wished. They severely animad
vert upon Kepreeontative Walsb, who
made tha charge.
Snnday last the painting waa forwarded
to this city. The piotnr* is nowise
damaged.
Senator Uordon’e Letter.
Washington Union.]
Tbe letter of Senator Gordon, on tha
situation, aud which is publishad in
another column, will ba reoognisad aa ona
of the fairest arguments and most ex
haustive contributions jet dedicated to
enlightening the conscience of beaitatiog
Republicans, and strengthening tha reao-
lution of determined Domoorats.
Senator Gordon very proper)/ says that
the adopt iou of any plans suggested tor
the solution of threatening difficulty by
counting iu Mr. Hayes involves a con-
tom pt of precedent, a breaoh of law, and
the overthrow of the Constitution.
When |lie adds that “in reply to your
question as to whether Mr. Tilden will be
peaceably inaugurated, I am almost ready
in view of the considerations I have given
you, to say ‘yes.’ ” he utters not only the
prophecy of a political seer, but reveals
the hope, the creed and the oonviotion of
the people of this oountry. Thay recog
nize this event as setting the seal of ever
lasting condemnation on anything life
the compromise of tho fundamental prin
ciples of our Uuion aud onr Government.
Not the least acceptable element of
this letter is tbe spirit of reliance on pub
lic opinion, bidding one party to move
forward and the other to halt—public
opiniou, which has been shaped by the
corruption of the carpet-baggers and Rad
icals, by tho patriotic self-immolation of
the Southern pcop’e ou the shrine of
pence, by tho moral evidences of a good
cause ou the one hand and the positive
proofs of Maohi&velian trickery on tha
other.
The writer discusses (ho question near
est to every man’s heart and hearthstone,
not only in a lawyerlike and statesman
like mannor, bnt he mirrors the mind of
Democrats and conservatives. Thay oan
not recognize any right to the Presiden
cy but that of Mr. Tilden, and regard the
threatened counting iu of Mr. Hayes ass
revolutionary aot against whose commis
sion every patriot must protest with his
latest breath.
