SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 17. 1877.
LIT IT BB BBOMEH IT,
Fraud and extreme partisanship have
bean allowed suAotont victories. Let tba
Democrats break up the NsUoaal Return
ing Board before it oous—tain' the
final triumph of tke gwwaaat wrong. The
Electoral Commission has violated every
covenant implied and spread in its for
mation. In ooamittoe room Bopnblioana
united with Democrats in the opinion
that tba Commission would have the
a power as the two Bourn
of 1 Congress, * rad hear evidence.
In the Commission they hovo falsified
their own words and sets. Every parti-
ole of testimooy has bean ruled out. It
waa surely thought that Supreme Qourt
Justices would decide legally rad impar
tially, and report who was really sleeted
President and Vioe President, They have
proven themselves mare partisans. The
ermine of the judiciary has bean tainted
with the ssrrow-mlndsd prejodloasof tbe
small politician. Brsdlty is ths Warwick
of America, and Jibs already dictated who
is to be President in the Louis
iana decision, unless the Dem
ocrats choose to adopt the tactiss
that km left open to them. There is
nothing of honor involved in the
withdrawal, as ths Bopnbliosns of the
Commission hove violated oommoa
agreement, and the Democrats am re
leased from every obligation. Eight to
seven on every question and the Su
preme Court Judges voting sooordiog
to politioal bias tells the story. Let the
Democrats at once withdraw from the
Commission and break it up. True the
act requires the vacancies to be
tilled, but the House need not
do it. It baa the power and
should exercise it. By dilatory
measures it ora defer the counting beyond
Maroh 4th, when the President of the
Ben ate becomes President of the United
Btates, and a new election will bo bold in
tbe fall, when there cannot be a doubt of
Demooratio suocess. Anything ia fair with
snob enemies ta those with whom we have
to deal. They have violated all fairness,
right and jnitiee, and our side should pur-
sue the only polioy left open for the de
feat of such faithless opponents,
i The Ilonse can oontinne ila investiga
tion of the rasoality of the Returning
Boards and give a statement to the oonu-
try whioh loads the Republican party
with snob oorrnption that it will sink
hopelessly in tbe mire of its own pollution.

DEMOCRATIC FAITH.
It ia now in order to oondemn ths
Grand Commission, and espooiaUy the
Democrats for voting for it. Ex-Gov.
Walker, of Virginia, in a speeoh the oth
er day, said he was one of the Dsmoerats
who bad voted for the bill, and claimed
that the aotion of the House was another
evidence of tbe Demooratio faith in the
honesty of mankind. Ha congratulated
tbe members upon being able to say that
we, at least, have dona our duty.’’

made another conciliatory speech, closing

A VIEW OF HATES.
The Telegraph and Meeeenger of yester
day publishes along statement of an in
terview with Judge Mackey, of Booth
Carolina, who visited Mnoon for the pur-
of entering bis two eons iu Pio
Nono College. Ho voted for Hsyes and
Hampton, and adaainistered the oath to
tho tatter and carried from him s letter to
Gov. Hayes. The Judge comments muoh
on Hayes’ generosity and fairness, and
bis moderation. He has the portrait of
Col. Bryan, a distinguished Confederate
officer sod now Bpesker of the Demooratio
House in Texas, in hia residence. Hayea,
pointing to tba piotnre, remarked :
“Ha is ths dearest friend I bars on
earth.” That does not look that if I am
President 1 shall be swayed by influences
very hostile to tbo Booth." The Gover
nor continued: “Someof my happiest
days were spent with Bryan in Texas, bnt
like a good Demooret, bs voted against
me.”
Tbe long and short of the interview
was that Judge Msokey represented that
if Hayes was inaugurated bis Bouthem
programme would be to throw aside tba
osrpst bag tribe rad oultivsts a friend,
liuesa with ths repreasutative olsas of tho
section,and give patroesgs to the respecta
ble element. The Jadge oontends the Be.
publioaoe of tho North are the natural allies
of the Southern whites. The Judge was
notable to prove thia.cAotiona speck
louder than professions. Ths Judge ia
firmly oonvinoed that with Hayea in the
Presidential chair, both Hampton and
NiehoUs will bo counted in and reoog.
nixed as Governors of their respective
Btates. He regarded hla utteranoes aa
meaning this. In Bouth Carolina the
people are rallying to Hampton'
support, and already over #128,000
of taxes have been paid to
oollaotors in ten days, while
tbe Republicans had only reoeived a thou
sand dollars in six weeks.
Well, all this is comforting providing
we cannot get a Demooratio President
We believe Hayes being a weak and neg
ative eharaoter will be a worse partisan
than Graut, for be will be'snrroundsd by
the same and worse class of adviser* who
have Old aoores to settle ahd will eodoevdr
to wreak their vengeanoe on a defenceless

STATS AID.
Several matters of intoreot are yet to
bo dlsooased. Tho bill giving State aid
to tha North Georgia Road is not yet
dead, bat will be bronght forward again
and pressed vigorously. The ehsncea are,
however,dsoidadly against it. We are just
sating of the fruits of State aid as grown
opon tho Maooo <fc Brnnawiok and North

MAOON AMO SBVMSW1CK BAILBOAD.
Boms days ago tbo House requested the
Governor to inform it ss to all proposi
tions that had bssn made for tbe sale or
of tbe Macon A Bruoswiok Road,
and in response bis Excellency yesterday
ssnt in a message, to whioh a report of
the commissioners wsa attached, setting
forth all snob offers.
Two or three offers to lease had been
made, bat no satisfactory soourity having
been tendered they bad been rejected.
A bid for the sale of the road
had baen mads by Mr. Hazlehurst and
his ass 00 it tea, whioh was still under ne
gotiation. The offer was to give #800,-
000, to ba paid either in cash or tha
bonds of ths road endorsed by the State.
Of this sum, #50,000 was to be paid in
oasUraad tbe balsnoe, with six par cent,
interest, in sums of not leas than #20,000
per annum within twelve years. In ad
dition, they propose to surrender to tbe
State at least #00,000, and, if praetioable,
#550,000 of the #600,000 of. the bonds of
tbo road, whieh wore repudiated by the
State Nearly all tha balance of this
#600,000 of bonds are now in tbe hands of
Branch A Bona, of Angus ta, and are Rot
iooluded in the offer.
Tho Commissioners dsolinsd this bid,
tho parties than offered, in addition, to
pay #100,000 more, either in sash or in
the endorsed bonds, without interest, at
ths end of twelve years.
Tbo Commissioners replied to this that
they would accept the bid provided inter
est at tha rate of six per rent, were paid
on tho #100,000. No reply had been re
oeived to this proposition.
Tbe massage and report were referred
to tbe Joint Finance Committee, who are
to sot upon it this morning. The propo
sition is reoeived with favor by acme of
tho loading members of tbe Finance
Committee ande favorable report
probable. .
soxna uld ax bbamoh A sons.
There ia also a bill pendiog and ia
the speoiel order of the day at
o'olook in the Honse to pay
to Branoh A Sods #28,000 with six per
oant. interest from the time of pnrohaae,
being the amoont paid by them for #40,-
000 of the repndiated #600,000 of bonds.
The Legislature upon the report of the
Bond Committse made some years ago,
perhaps in 1870 or 1871, resolved that
these bonds were binding upon the Btate,
and Branoh A Boob olairn that they bought
upon the faith of this resolution and
therefore ought to be repaid tbe ooeta of
the bonds to them. The opinion is that
the bill will bo defeated.
BONDS or BOOBMAX; JOHNSON A OO.
There is Another bill nominslly in fsvor
of Boorman, Johnson A Co., involving
about #80,000 with two years’ interest
whieh is pending and upon which a lively
light will be made. It is olaimed that
Boorman, Johnson A Oo. sdvsnoed to H.
I. Kimball #80,000 opon #120,000 of cur.
renoy bonds whioh were afterwards repu
diated by tha Legislature as hsving bsen
issusd by Bullock without authority,
They ssy there bonds were paid to Kim
ball for the opera house rad whilst he so
bold them they mad# tha advsuoe. After
these bonds had bsen so paid to Kimball,
bs reoeived from Bollook tbe same, amount
in gold bonds in exohange for the our ren
oy bonds, but be failed to -return the our-
renoy bonds.
Mr. Moeeo intends to fight this claim
as not founded either in law or. justioe,
and ha lire thoroughly prepared himself
upon tba question. It will bo lha
effort of hia legislative career, and I look
for a great speeoh
nmmaioae xboaboimo tbem.
Tbe impression is vaay strong tbst this
claim baa bean bought np by Judge
Bohley, and Mr. Bnead, re Boorman,
Johnson A Co., foiled long since. Be-
ing thoroughly satisfied that the Btate
ought not to pay ooa dollar of this olairn,
I hops that Mr. Moses may auooeed, and
if he should, re I believe he will, be de
serves the thanks of the whole Btate.
Ih reference to the bill providing for
“turning a wheel,” Mr. Moses says that
ha feels no.interest iu the matter. It is
proposition, to give #12,000 a year, whieh
is made to tha Legislature^ and if they
think fit to dtclint It, that ends the mar
