AND MOKE THAN TWICE THE LABOEBT AQQRESATE CIRCULATION 1 A Hi. MaOomun, from New York, was nbM of #1,180 by Charleston thieves teat Botqrdny. —I OovxxxaX Saufobd, of California, re- aactly paid ora* #26,000 for the bone “denarii Benton." A Oomaonour paper lnaieta tbit in tbe oonm of ten yarn Hampton will be Pnatiant of thi United States. Tu Mew York Sun aaya tbit when Hayee k Pitektoat he will write bia name “B. B. Hayes, Praaldent par Bradley.” Tn whiakay thieves and thieving ring, are happy; Hayea ia to anooeed Grant, and they will have their away aa nointer- rnptidly aa ever. Faaauoaa traina are now rnnning reg ularly from San Antonio to Galveaton, Taxaa. The lint train went over the road on February nth. Auzaenn H. Snpran baa gained four pounda, bat it ia probably referable to Mveml qnirta of obitnary notioaa con- oeaiad about bia peraon. Tn Florida Hooae baa made tbe tax bill for the praaent year at five and for naxt at four and a half mills, two milla for bonda and no proviaion for ainking fund. Mae. Hchbt Eibiihtiih baa been ar- ranted in Mew York on the charge of biga my. Bhe admita to having been married five tinea, and anppoaea all the hnabanda era living. Aoaa.—B. B. Hayae will be 68 yearaold OB October 4th; Wm. A. Wheeler ia 67; 8. J. Tilden ia 64; Thomaa A. Hendricka will be 68 on September 17th; U. S. Grant will be 66 on April 27th. Tn Houae Committee on Naval Affaire have aada a report atrongly recommend ing the paaaage of the bill appropriating #50,000 to aqnip an expedition to the Arctic seas, on the oolonixation plan pro- poeed by Oapt. Howgate. Bxjutos Looan ia an aapiraut for a Cabinet poaitioa under Hayea, and the other day he waa heard to remark in reply to aome one who had a fated that Hayea meant to work a thorough reform : “Let, Mm attempt hit civil ten ice reforms if he dares, damn him." Alxxakdbia (Va.) Oat cite: “Having been bo ancceaafnl in tbe pnrchaae of ne gro votea by tbe forty aorea and male promises, the ltadioala have determined to attempt to aecnre the vote of the South ern white people by tbe name method. Will they anooeed 7" Tn Mew York Tribune recently began to call tha Southern people “our brethren beyond the line. ” They begin to aprinkle anger a little too heavily. The ohango from “mnrderera" and “aaaaaaina" to “brethren” ia too rapid. Watoh them. We fear the Greeka bearing preaenta. Tn St Louis limes thna deolarea for war: “The men who eleoted Samuel J. Tilden are ready, willing and able to in, augurate him. Let him bnt give the sig nal and Washington will overflow with a host that will uphold free government or fall in ita defense." Cheese it. Pnnu.m.—The speech of Hayes whleh we give this morning shows the man. tt ia nioe talk for a President, but perhaps worthy of ono who haa stolen tho plaoe by fraud and Bradley. It shows what a pure negative, controlled by bad men we are to have for a ohief executive. A rtrrrioH addressed to the Demooratio members of the lower Hooae of Congress, earnastly praying that they offer no fac tions opposition to the electoral count, bnt on the oontrary permit it to prooeed aa rapidly as possible, waa numerously signed on 'Change, in St. Louis, by men of all parties. It ia understood that Hayes' inaugural will be very brief, and he will not attempt to foreshadow the policy of tbe admin istration. The part of the addresa that might be devoted to that topio must nec essarily require great thought and care, and his frienda in Washington say be oan not at so short notioe proclaim his future course. In the Illinois Houae, Merritt introduc ed resolutions denouncing the Electoral Tribunal, as guilty of fraud and deserving universal condemnation. A motion to make it a special order for next Friday was lost, and it waa tabled. Aaa Mathews submitted a substitute declaring that the Democracy was bound by the notion of the Tribunal. After further debate, the whole subject, including this substitute, waa tabled by the Bepublioana by a strict party vote. LIT THE SOUTH 'STILL ASS BNT NIB IAIBMB. Tha Bepublioana for yean have en deavored to bull dose tha for met Confederacy. They bought tho colored man with tbe forty acres and a mule and endeavored to overawe tbe whites by tho flaunting of the oolor line and tbe fear of subjugation to an inferior raoe. They signally failed. The Sonthern Democrats captured their own weapons and used them with skill and power. A victory has been achieved over Betnrning Boards and the flies of drawn bayonets. Ooufidenoe in tbe honor and uprightness of the Supreme Court, the highest tribunal of the land, proved the fatal error. Fraud accomplished what might aid terroism signally failed to aohieve. It has pnt Hayes ia the Presi dency bnt it has ruined the Supreme Court. Tbe spotless ermine has been delnged in filth, and hereafter the body will be regarded as a mere wil ling maohine to do tbe bidding of the party in authority, tt has also destroyed the Bepublioan party. It bis won for itself abame and ignoinioy. Through mere partisans, onoe regarded as upright Judges, it baa placed a man in the Presi dential chair who received over a quarter of a million less votes than his opponent, and a millioh leas white ballots. This is apparent to even the most bigoted. Deoeit and treachery has won over candor and fairness. Thna the two parties enter the next oampaign. Democracy raises high ill crest with honor biasing there from, while the oriflamme of Uepnblioan- iam is tainted all over with ignominy. Can there be a question aa to whloh haa really won or on whose banner viotory will shine in 1680? In ten years Democracy has accomplish ed wondera. It has redeemed every Sonthern State government from Badioal. ism. The party has gained the Houae, and nearly has the Senate, and will have it in 1878, and eleoted a President by a quarter of a million votes, bnt was cheat ed out of it because it was deemed there was at least some honor and impartiality in the judges of the Supreme Court—men holding positions for life and with untarnished reputations to maintain. Shall it disband or divide when the con summation of final triumph is so near ? Occupying the vantage ground, with ordinary sagaoity success certainly awaits the efforts of the grandest party organisa tion this oountry has ever known, whieh polled in November some 4,800,000 votes. Our foe ia, however, a wily one. Be ia now endeavoring to bribe the South with goods stolen from Democracy for the pur- pose of dividing tbe party that it may inure to his benefit. We do not be lieve a single true Southron will be caught by such offers, or that be will forswear allegiance to his olanship for a prioe. The ringing words of the obivalrous Gordon, that sounds no uncertain notes, will be the sentiment of our entire country. There is to be no alliance with foes. The Bepublioan endeavor to separato the old Whigs from the Democrats when the members of both splendid organizations have s oommon enemy to fight is hopeless. Mr. Hayes oannot buy the South as he has the ItetumingBoards—State and National. Democracy knows it has only four years to wait, and the Southern portion has no inclination to coalesce with fraud. Suoh offers will be spurned. No Southern man oan take HayeB' mess of pottage and be respected as before. There are no resolutions so weak as those that are made on a sick bed. Hayes has been lying on one for months. He knows he has been defeated. His hench men have been seeking ways to overoome the will of the people, and at last found it in tbe servile Supreme Court. To keep the House from “dilatoring” him ont, he will promise anything, and sugar-coat every nauseous draught. The South is now on Bolid ground and knows her strength, and return a decided “No” to Mr. Hayes’ propositions to join his orowd. The fly knows the spider too well now, though bid for in this style: Muaclxs are getting as oommon aa they were in Andes, 1800 years ago. Rulh Harris, a Washington (D. 0.) negresa.wbo has been dumb eight years, because she “hoped the Lord would strike her dumb if aba did It," dreamed last weak that she had recovered her speech through the in tsresasloa of her mother, who had been dead a year. In the morning, Both awoke to find herself able to call heaven to witness onoe more that she still knows how to lie. A New You letter to the Springfield Bepublioan says “Mr. Tilden is probably »o more disappointed than thousands of Intelligent citizens, Bepublioans as well as Democrats—but he hides the feeling! they express. He has a wise habit of keeping his mouth abut in windy weather. It is understood he contemplates prepar- !■# *n address to the American people, in whiah he will any a number of things that the people aforesaid need to hear and °"flkt to ponder over. Charlie Bumner earn mid nothing ia ever eattled till it ia artllad right. Than is no crowing here a anywhere, except in the newspapers and ^customhouse." And from tho Federal Treasury improvements X ou will And ir.ed and encouraged ezaotly to your mind.

Don't scrutinize the gift-horse too keenly In the mouth, „ „ But walk Into my party,'»• says B. Bradley Hayes to the South. The South is too keen to aeoept tha of fer, well knowing the parlor oocupied by an enemy will be owned by hereelf and frienda in four years. Tbe Tbue Boutuebe Policy.—Tha Washington correspondent of tha Belli' more Nun cites a oaae where several Be publioan Senators approached n Southern Demoorat of prominence with proffers of offloe, to whieh the latter replied: “We want none of your Cabinet positions nor big offloea, bnt we want yon to take yonr feet from off onr necks, to treat us equals, to show that you have aome oonfidenoe in ua. We want you to take away your troopa and 1st ua regulate our local affaird, just aa you regulate your loeal affairs. We will obey the Constitution and the laws and protect the rights of ail with aa muoh fidelity aa you do, and we only aak that we be allowed to have the governments whioh we have eleoted. The Sonth has one hundred and thirty-eight eleotoral votea, and she haa no favors to aak of any administration. If Bbe is pnt on an equal ity with the rest of the Union she oan taka care of herself.” HOW TU MATT IO MANAGED- NiiiMT or a amir. Tha navy waa onea tha pride of the United States. Now itto the greatest die- grsoe, leaving oat the National Return- ing Board. Tha vassals arc bat a euooea- ■ton of rottaa hulks constructed for tbe benefit of favored contractors. The bis- tory of one veesel is that of all. Even in the service itself there is a great iaok of that manly spirit and morale whioh for merly animated the oorpa. Tbe banefnl influence of Beeor Robeson baa infused every branoh of the servioe until the whole is rotten to ita vary fonndation and tha department consists of a aeries of favoritism and money getting. How different from tbeehivalrie enthusiasm and high-toned sense of honor whioh onoe oharaoterised tha gallant followers of tha aaa. The history of the ahip-of-war Dela ware tails tha story. Bha waa bnilt twelve years ago and coat tbe Government a round million or more. Unable to get live oak, beoanse of tbe Confederate foroes, green white oak waa employed in the bnilding, whioh was charming to the .contractors who charged the same prioe. Bhe ernised tbe Atlantio and loafed about tha ooaat, bnt some five years ago waa in spected and prononnoed nnsafe. Tha State government of New York borrowed and need bar as a hospital ship for three years, when she waa turned over to the United States, and the authorities plaoed her where (he oould rot safely in the mud of tha Broklyn navy yard. Mot long sinoe, the Navy Department wm offered #22,000 for her, whioh offer waa refused. Subsequently a portion - tha heavy and oostly machinery, whiah waa being eaten up by ruat waa removed. One evening a triokle of water was noticed in the hull. Nobody paid any attention to it, and before midnight the vessel sunk. Then Commodore Nioholaon ap-> pointed three naval oflloers to hold a post mortem examination over the remains. They, at a distance, looked at her, aod reported, over something good to drink, that she was rotten, that tbe removal of machinery had weakened her amid ships, and this weakness bad oauaed the central timbers to spring out of plsos and thnt the weight of the bow and stern broke her baok. They made it ont the old ex-milliouare waa dead as the boy who fooled with the off hind leg of s male. The three then took s drink, the document was blue taped and Iliad away with other similar effusions. Forthwith the condemned wreok was ad vertised to be Bold, and the fact of the inquest given. Very few are now dealing in wrecks except those inside the rings, and Mr. MeKay, of Philadelphia, bought her for #6,000. Now it so happens that bo ia a naval contractor and “knows the ropes," being on tbe inside of Rober son’s operations. Ha engag ed a wrecking oompany and in four days tbe frigate had been pumped dry and waa floating in tha harbor. Now wasn’t this fortuitous ? It turns out tbe inquest waa all wrong. The timbers are only elightly rotten, there is no fatal weakness, nothing ia out of plaoe and tbe baokbone ia in a normal oondition. It ia ascertained that the oopper on the hull, the propeller and other fixtures, are worth more than the pnrehaae money. Tbe vessel annk because a small valve happen ed to be opened, but who did it neither naval department nor contractor knows anything. They are thoroughly oonvinoed it waa not done by oollusion Now, ex perts say that this condemned ship with the expenditure of #20,000 oan be transform* ed into a first-class merchant psoket, whioh will oommand #76,000 in any mar ket, and MoKay ia effeoting the transfor mation. This ia the mode tbe American navy ia managed. All appear to be on tho make. The oonoero ia as rotten as Bradley's fraud defending shop, miscalled an Electoral Commission. Gov. Heddbicks has said to a newspa per representative that the Electoral Commission, having gone according to the letter of the law, the result ia the election of Hayea and Wheeler. • He does not believe the Commission aoted accord ing to tha spirit of the law, and says the longer the oonntry thinks of its action the more it will be oondemned. Tbe Gov ernor intimates that the present defeat will inure to the fotnre benefit of the Demooraoy, and he la opposed to fillibus. tering on the part of tbe Democrats Mobbt, tha confidential friend of Grant and Hayaa, asserts that Hayes will fill two Cabinet poaitiona with Southern men, Hayes and bis friends have been working hard to bribe prominent Southern Demo crats into tha Bepnbliosn party in order to be able to snnoanoe that they have split tha Demooratio party and dissolved the “Solid Sonth.” Senator Norwood, of Georgia,isone i of the Sonthern men talked of aa a future recipient of Hayes' favors by tha Republicans, but be very emphat- ioally‘repudiates tbe soheme. bog. HiilWiM tatlA >aii»y.nir< The Washing** entree# ie diet of the Msw To* Herald, fern writes cm the 24th: There were bitterer words ia ths eeucus on Friday night than wars know* outside. Mr. Ben Hill and Mr. Dudley Field had a discussion, in whieh Mr. Hill showed np first the uselessness for good, Aon As unoonstitntiooality, and finally As rssl purpose of the bills Mr. Field proposed to introdaoe. Mr. Hill, it is said, nsver showed himself more able, and Mr. Field’s objeota were nnoovered by a series of interrogations, in n manner whieh made Asm plain to tha members of Ae caucus and left Aese to choose their oourse to-day, at least with Asia eyas open. Mr. Fielf bad proposed n bill whioh de clared that there had been a failure to elect a President and provided for n new eleation. Mr. Hill snowed As osnans that whether there had bean a fall era to elect oould not be known until tha oosnt was completed; that if there waa a fail are to eleot, Mr. Field's bill violated Ae constitution, became that provided, A snob a oasa, for sn’elsotion by As House, and that As oonnt was delayed on purpose to make the oleotion a failure. Then the constitution gave Ae offloe to the Presi dent of tbe Senate, and Aa Demooratio party wonld themselves be chargeable be fore the oonntry with having made aome Republican—probably Benator Morton— President for aome years. All this showed up to Ae oanona the end# and hasty no tions of Mr. Field. The result was seen A tha refusal of the House to adjourn, whan As two houses separated after hearing Ae Oregon deoislon. Mr. Haooock, of Texas, sqnsrE- ly opposed this motion on As honorable and manly ground that while ha fait aa muoh aa any one Aa mortifloation of de feat, he hoped he wonld not lorn his man hood ao muoh aa to advise that Aa Houae should not prooeed under ths law. There was no anAority to daisy Ae oonnt now, ha said. J as ties Jao Bradley. The Pittabnrg (Pa.) Ohronicle (Bad.) haa a apeoial from Washington, whieh saya: “Two votes ware taken before Ae re- oess, the first having raferanea to tha all, gibility of Watts, and on that qnealion Justice Bradley refused to vote either way. The next vote waa for a recess, when he voted with the eight and it was oarried. At a lata hour last night, a num ber of carriages were waiting Tn front of bis residence, and tbe inferenoe is Ast he was visited by influential parties for Ae purpose of counsel on Ae absorbing ques tion.” Tha idea of a judge being waited on by “influential parties for Ae purpose of oonnsel,” pending n deoiaion, is good And the worst of it ia that Mr. Jos Brad- ley’s reoord as a railroad attorney in Jer sey, shows he is up to Aa sharpest kind of dodges. He got hia appointment aa Supreme Judge by pledging himself to certain deoiaiona in tbe interest of corpo rations, in tbe legal tender ease.

Special to the Constitution.] Washington, Feb. 27.—The Democrats who have favored stopping the oonnt with a view of exacting oonoeasiona from Hayea, are somewhat despondent. The opinion ia general that the eonnt will be finished before Friday night. The Southern Demoorets indignantly repudi ate the suggestion that Hayea oan divide tbe party in the BouA. Tbey claim tbat tbe preservation of Ae publlo pesos has saved the Booth from Ao horfoto of another invasion more ruinous than that of Sherman, and Aatthe BonA now eom mends tha respect of Ae North for its conservatism; that Aa bloody shirt ia buried end Ae Demooraoy plaoed A position to oommaad overwhelming suo- oess in Ae future.
