Tilden was Elected by the Vote of Disaffected Republicans. o the Editor of th: World: •Slit: Tilden was chosen President by the vote of the disaffected Republicans, bbivk and white, in cause of a disgusted and profound consciousness that Repub licanism, as officered by Grant, Robeson Chandler, bad oullivtd its usefulness. Lincoln had a gentle wtsoom, the politi cal ta< t and tenderness of a sweet souled, many-sided statesman, seeing by intuition the South could never be pinned to us safely by bayonets. Seward, too, tcit ;hat the North could not long ho great and prosperous and happy unless the Smith should he lifted up and not crush ed lower; to the end lluit she, too, though prostrate and bleeding at every pore (for the sins of slavery, if you please), might become peaceful and pros perous and happy. Not so General 'The only potent tactor he knows in politics is the bayonet. The bayonet is to be the new Ulysses what laudace was to Mirakcau 1 The people declared on the seven,h day of November last overwhelmingly that Tilden was their choice for Presi dent—a result which would not have been obtained hut for the hearty cooper ation of the ‘plain’ people belonging to the Republican party. These disgusted and disaffected Republicans had no other way to ‘express their execration at the conduct of an Administration which will live in history only to point a moral and give an example in politics of the Gal vinistic doctrine ot total depravity. An hottest count demonstrated that Hayes was defeated ; every sane man will admit *t—has admitted it. If Lincoln had been in the White House no man in America would have doubted that there would l ave been an honest count of the ‘votes actually cast.’ But Grant was there, and Robeson was his trusted henchman. On the morning of the 9lh ot November Win. IT. Kemble (known to fame as‘Bill’ I Kentble), General U. S. Grant and Don Cameron met at Drexel’s banking house, in Third street, Philadelphia, and the telegram was sent thence to Europe on that, clay that Hayes’s electioft was in doubt, and depended on the vole of Florida and Louisiana. Many wise men think that the conspiracy to cheat an honest people out of an honest count was concocted then and there; and it was fitting that it. should have been done at a banking house, and not in not in the nation’s capital, where a too confiding country has placed Grant, the central figure of the banking bouse conference. What need of the proc’aniation which followed the next day, so apparently sur charged with horror at fraud 1 We were to have a fair count of the votes ‘actually cast.’ Is there even a pretense that wa uot it in Louisiana or in Florida? No! No ! The conspiracy went on. Wm. Pitt Kellogg, and Jim Casey the President's brother-in-law, scarcely wait till they are asked before their Returning Board, by gigantic but swift system of villainy, count out 8,000 majority for Tilden and count iu Haves by a ‘satisfactory majori ty.’ The great Bill of Rights complain ed of a great standing army, and the people of America are asked to writhe wltb grace and groan in meiody when a bayonet is thrust into Wade Hampton’s lace and before every freeman for think- j r „/ ie has been elected Governor of South Carolina and for peaceably assert ing bis rights under the law. In Florida the Returning Boards re fieets the political rascality of Louisiana, and it is no wonder the people cry out iu their anguish, ‘ls this a government CONYERS, 0.V.. THURSDAY, DKUKMBKIi 81, 18Tt of law or a government of men ?’ The great and good Republican leader, Charles Sumner, and one of tho ‘simple great ones, gone forever and forever by,’ warned us of our danger four yeais ago in these memorable words from bis place in the Senate: ‘The present incumbent (Graut) Luows little of our form of government. By a military ed ication and military genius he represents the idea of force. Nor is be any exception to the tule of his pro fession, which appreciates only slightly a government that is not arbitrary. The time for the soldier is past.’ What the p ople ask, and upon that they insist, is that the Presidential com plications shall be settled by both houses of Congress, without let or hindrance from the Executive. Why this suspi cion of danger which haunts the public rninil asleep ov awake? Is it because there may be something in the prophecy of General Frank Blair that Grant would not go out of the White House willingly so long as he lived? We do not believe in the gallant Blair's prophecy ; we would he sorry to believe it. But we do believe that General Grant, if ho wants to give peace to the public mind, and not add to the distress which to-day paralyzis industry everywhere, will slum the Robe sons and Don Camerons, and let what Lincoln called the ‘angel of It's better nature' speak. A matt repudiated by the people is no safe counsellor for any Pres ident. But the people appeal confidently to the Conkiings and Joneses and Kdimtnd ses of the Senate, and even to Freling huysen, who in a lucid interval of states manship might forget that he had been a partisan and rise to the nob.lily of pa triotio duty. To these men we appeal, knowing right well that if they act lrom no loftier motive than the instinct of self preservation, this will lead them to hesi tate long before they inaugurate the Mexican policy os Lerdo, Inglesias and Diaz on the floor of the Senate—a policy which would surely dig a grave tor the Republican party in which the Senatorial SUuudus migh - tuny '.liemreWc'S alive at their leisure. Many thousand Republicans in every state, more in sorrow than in anger, vo ted for Hayes because Alley feared just what has happened. A demoralized, an arrogant end an unscrupulous our.d of office-holders, drunken with sixteen years of power, wrapped in the triple brass of their own selfishness, strong in the con viction that this country can’t he run without them, with unbridled audacity refuse to let go their hold on power. Kellogg was bequeathed to us by the ‘Wheeler compromise,’ and compromise is the American devil. As there is no power without justice, there must be no compromise with fraud. Let the foun dations,. then, he deep and broad and strong upon which this question shall hereafter rest, so that our children may escape the dangers which to-day threat en the republic. Returning reason in both houses will being us a peace which will come to stay. Amplifying the words of Gambettn, America is the Mount Aventine of a Democracy again in accord with destiny and with human progress. And above the passionate conflict of the hour, see I—our flag does not waver: it yet protects every man who thinks or works. James M. Scovkl. Camden. N. J., December 11. A gentleman said the other day to a negro servent at the hotel, where ho was staying: “Bless me. Sambo, bow in the name of thunder did you get so black ? ’ “Why look 4 here, massa de reason am dis—de day dis chile was born dar was an eelips.” Sambo got a quarter for this satisfactory explanation, and after grin ning thanks, continued;“l tell you what, massa, this nigger may be black, but he ain’t green nohow.” A little boy, gazing upon an old pict ure of his mother, taken in ale w-neok dress, remarked: ‘Mamma you was nios’ ready for bed when dat picter was took cn/ A South Carolina negro invited his col ored friends to a corn shucking, but as be voted the Democratic tieket, they de clined the invitation. ,The whites turned out and shucked his corn. A boy was much exercised (or fear he would not know his father when they both reach heaven. His mother eased him by saying, ‘All you will have to do is to look for an angle with a red cose.’ The Republican party prospers when the country is in turmoil.

At this scl-on of the year the average American housewife becomes as mys terious as a lieu with a nest hid in the current bushes, ller absences from homo are frequent, and site avoids ’giv ing an account of them. Her air is as proem pied and her manner as fit 1 of im portance ns if she were a cabinet minis ter with a sta'e secret. She is apt to neglect trifling household duties and lis ten to reproof with the benign and kind ly smilo of one who is abovo petty trou- is preparing Chrismas pres ents, and the burning ot a beefsteak is a matter ot no moment. It is useless for tho man of the house to remonstrate ; it is idle lor him to grumble. Censure re bounds from her like rain from the wings ol an angel caught in a terrestrial storm. Nothing will disturb her seraphic mood until the January thaw. As woman at the house-cleaning time of the year is a lury, so woman at tho approach ot jtlie holidays is a saint. And as no man may withstand her when site rages about the house in the melancholy days, with a cloud of dust around her like that which an ancient war chariot gathered as it went, her skirts tucktd up rs a Roman girt his garments for a street brawl, her hair tied away under a hankerohief and the bosom of destruction in her hand— “ller broom the sceptre all who meet obev,” —so no man may attack her with impu nity in the milder madness of the Glu is- mas season, when her motions aro quiet and subdued and the mild light of hap piness glows ill Lor eye. In bet role of Martha, solicitous about house cleaning, and in her role ot Mary, who hath cho sen a Letter part, site is alike incompre hensible to the sterner sex, aud every sensible husband soon learns to look up on his wife at such times as one whose way s are not his ways, a creature to he humored, like a poet, when tier eye is in line frenzey rolling. t The Christmas mania might, indeed, prove a very pleas ant episode in family life, notwilhstan ding the amount of money which it cost wore it not for one peculiarity in the madness. We allude to its tendency to manifest and satisfy' itse t in I lie fabri cation of slippers. Lovely woman seems to he urged on by a sweet impulse to decorate her spouse, brother or lover with her own handiwork, and there ap pears to be no other vehicle for the ex pression of her affection, save slippers. Like a painter through whose work the influence of a single model is ever evi dent, the gentler sex still fashion slip- pers aud make them serve for even relation of life, and its amenities. Sap pers of morocco, slippers of velvet, slip pers of carpeting, slippers embroidered with roses, slippers adorned with Uniter flies, slippers decked willi rosettes, slipperas innumerable as the wintry snowflakes, teach us the various minds of women. Does the daughter desire to show due reverence to her father ? She gives him a pair of slippers. Does the wife wish to pledge eternal conjugal fidelity? What symbol for affection can she find more potent than slippers? Is the maiden anxious to give shy expres sion to her fondness for a lover? llow can the tender confession be so gelicate ly conveyed as in a pair of slippers? Does the solemn matron think it appro priate to express to her minister her approvel of his sound doctrinal methods and fervid eloquence ? What eulogy is so expressive as the gift of a pair ot slippers? The man with many female relatives is helpness at such a time, and can only wish that he had as many feet as Briareus had hands, so that lie might Wear all his slippers at once ; or that woman would devise some little variety of method in spending his money. Hut he might as w ell fight against the stars in their courses, or against a setting hen or a perverse mule, as urge objections to woman intent upon the manufacture of slippers. Never but once was this propensity ot the sex towards slippers turned to good account and therefore baffled. The admirers of a celebrated Jesuit preacher embroidered slippers for him by the thousand and sent them at presents, and as fast as he received them they were confiscated to the common stock of the order. It is said that a great part of the society was comforta bly supplied before the fair manufact urers discovered how their gifts were diverted to alien feet. ‘Did you do nothing fo resuscitate the body?’ was recently asked of a witness at a Corner’s inquest. ‘Yea sir; we search*, ed the pocket,’ was the reply. A Pennsylvania farmer, wbo cut open a hornet’s nest to see how it was made, will probably be able, it is said, to see a born and other like small objects in a' month or two.
