CURRENT TOPICS.
Grant has seen the time when he was
compelled to l, care a damn” for a police
cjurt.— St. Louis Times.
The ‘‘dilemma” doesn’t bother Presi
dent Grant much. Ho takes both horns
o* it, and all the other horns that he can
count in.
‘‘lf Hayes don’t go in, nobody will.
Grant will stay.” -Bon Ingersoll at Peo
ria December 8.
Hayes is reported to be on his knees beg
ging for Southern support. He has an in
describable foreboding that Grant Is work
ing for himself.— Courier^ournal.
Grant’s last noble utterance has gone
into history. It is this: “J don't care a
damn for the Supreme Court!" Whom the
gods wish to destroy they first afflict with
delirium tremens.— St. Louis Times.
Sayings of President Grant, complete.
“I propose to move immediately upon your
works.” “Let us have peace.” “Thesean
nual autumnal outbreaks.” “Let no guilty
man escape if it can be avoided.” "No man
worthy of the office can afford to be count
ed in.” “D—n the Supreme Court.”
Grant’s threat of “we must have peace
If we have to fight for it*” was characteris
tic of that illustrious inebriate. His high
est conception or peace in a Republic is an
olive branch pinned with a bayonet.—Nash
ville American.
“He is a pure man,’’
says the Cincinnati Gazette of Hayes, Gen-
Phil Sheridan, how ver, remarked of J.
Madison Wells, head thief of the Louisi
ana Returning Board, that “he has not a
friend who is an honest man.” Ruther
ford B. Hayes is an ardent friend of J.
Madison Wells.
It was characteristic of Grant to remark
with his hat cocked over his left eye and
the cigar stump bet,ween his teeth at an an
gle of forty-five degrees, that he Intended
to see Gov. Hayes inaugurated President.
“Upon what meat doth this our Cmsar feed
that lie hath grown so great?" Paint the
injinered with a bullock’s heart on the
side.”— Nashville American.
Correspondence Cincinnati Gazette : Not
far from Mr. Williams’ desk sits all that
remains of poor, attenuated, half-dead
Alexander H. Stephens. He was borne
in by his faithful attendant, and held in his
nAins, while a bluo cushion, brought for
thd purpose, was adjuste 1 in his master’s
chaii'. When placed in his seat, Mr. Ste
phens dUnost sunk out of sight, like Mr.
Small WEED, after he had thrown the
pillow at liis well-beloved, but too talkative
spouse. Mr. Stephens’ face has grown
smaller, and whiter, and more suggestive
of a death’s head, than ever before. Last
year, he wore a skull cap, but this session,
ho keeps on his beaver, which seems al
most like an extinguisher, ready to put out
the little light of life left flickering in his
nearly burned out mortality. In private
life Mr. Stephens is much beloved, and
tbe calls made upon his leisure are some
thing fearful to contemplate, in the exist
ing weak state of hfs health. Last year,
so I saw* it recorded, some four hundred
pounds of vis'ing cards were sold for old
paper by tint bell-boy of the National
Hotel (where Mr. 8. always stops).
New York Nation: Indeed, if there be a
man in the country who should be excluded
from the Cabinet deliberations on this mat
ter, and who is unfitted to give advice
about it, it is Mr. Chandler, and yet he is
one of the President’s chief counsellors.
So, also, if there be a man in the country
whose head at this moment ought to be
clear of all passion and prejudice and pride
of opinion, it ought to be the Attorney
General. He is, in giving his “opinions”—
and he appears to be giving a great many—
exercising semi-judiciai functions in a sol
emn trust confided to him in the interest
of all parties. And yet he has really dis
qualified himself for any such functions by
his recent performances on the stump. He
approaches them as a combatant hot
from the fray, and his seeing no impro
priety in giving the President advice as
to the use of “troops," or as to the
recognition of the results of the action
of the Returning Boards, and with
which the party regards it, are fresh illus
trations of the blinding influence of the
odor of sanctity which hangs around it,
and of the danger to a constitutional gov
ernment of having in power a political or
ganization whose history or alias seem, in
the eyes of it3 members, to give it immu
nity from criticism or release it from the
ordinary political tests and standards.
For instance, what can be of more value in
politics than the principle thut nobody
shall be judge in his own cause? And yet
the Republican party, at this juncture,
pays no more attention to it than if it were
a campaign song, and there can be little
question that this blindness of ordinarily
fair men is the result of something more
powerful than party spirit—namely, of a
sort of latent conviction that the party
which put down the rebellion and liberat
ed the slaves has received a consecration
which raises it above the law.
Judge Augustus R. Wrioht, of Rome,
Oeorgia, print.-- a letter from ex-Governor
Brown, in regard to Florida matters, in
which the Niter says that the Democrats
were “unable to do anything with the Kad
ieal major ol the Canvassing Board in
Florida, except to expose their villainies.
Any other count than the one made t y
them would have counted themselves out
of office, as they were appointed by the
Governor; and they therefore determined
to throw out counties and precincts that
had given Democratic majorities, until
they had overrun our majority and estab
lished theirs. This was done upon mere
pretext, with an unblushing audacity which
you have seldom seen. Upon any fair
count that could be made, TiiiDEn carried
the State honestly. So did the Democratic
candidate for Governor and the two candi
dates for Congress, with a majority of the
Legislature Democratic. But two out of
the members of the Board were a majority,
and no influence that could be brought to
bear upon them could control them, nor
did any sense of shame deter them.” Gov
ernor Brown continues: “We have left
the matter in a condition, however, where
the Congressional Committee can have lit
tle difficulty in getting at all the facts, and
have no doubt that the honest men upon it
will report the action of the Board as an
outrage upon justice and law.”
Here are specimens of the Louisiana
Returning Board intimidation affida
vits, made by Lesage, of Baton Rouge:
“War. J. Payne was hung by regula
tors for participating in a Republican
convention.”
Facta: Wm. J. Payne was drowned in
the Comite river, before any Republi
can convention mot in the parish.
“One Robertson, a colored man, was
compelled to leave his employer and
his home for voting the Republican
ticket.”
Facts: The said Robertson did not
leave his employer, and did not vote
the Republican ticket, having been a
Democrat for years, etc.
Lpon these false charges a Demo
tcratic majority of 300 was thrown ou
by the Returning Board.
Shooting Niagara.
No has attentively watched
the Abolitlon-Republioan schemas, from!
the day Daniel Webster -warned the
country against them down to title latest
outrage In the Southfcould have for a
moment mistaken their design of mak
ing this “nation.” as they insisted in
calling it, a consolidated despotism, a
sham Republic with Asiatic forms of
absolutism centralized at Washington.
Numbers of Democrats and foreigners
allowed themselves to be duped by
false cries into aiding and abettiDg this
gigantic crime against Constitutional
Liberty ; but now, in the day of deadly
peril, they begin to perceive that when
the South was smitten down and the
legislative infamies that followed the
war were set in motioß, a conspiracy
had come to a head infinitely worse
than the dreaded Confederate rebel
lion.
The Washington correspondent of
the New York Sun as much as admits
this state of the case when, after a
rapid sketch of Grantism, the outlines
of the conspiracy are filled in for al
men to behold and tremble. He says :
“Grant is in the hands of the worst
and most desperate men who have
ever had the direction of public affairs.
His Cabinet is a unit on the line of
policy which has been pursued, and it
will continue to act harmoniously, no
matter how reckless the measures pro
posed may be. Don Cameron is the di
recting spirit of the Administration,
and the most confidential adviser of
Grant in all his acts.
“He is cool, calculating and unscru
pulous, with a natural taste for plot
ting and indirection. His has been the
controlling mind and hand in all this
villainy in the South, and ho will not
shrink, while the army is at his com
mand, and Sheridan and Sherman are
In full sympathy with his schemes, to
strike even more audaciously than has
yet been witnessed. He induced Grant
to order the troops to Washington, and
he has more than once signified, in
unmistakable terms, that they would
be used if there was any occasion to
require their employment.
“Ail tone of conservatism, if it ever
existed at all, has gone out of the Ad
ministration. Mr. Fish has yielded his
individual views, and while affectiDg
to deplore the situation, is as feeble
aud whining as when he allowed Belk
nap to telegraph Sheridan that ‘all of
us’ approved his banditti dispatch.
Mr. Morrill has no power of resist
once. The others are mere tools and
partisans of the extremest views.
“The President and his Cabinet know
the secrets that are hidden in the
Treasury and other departments. They
cannot afford to have them exposed,
and therefore are combined in uphold
ing the infamies of the Returning
Boards and the conspiracy to count in
Hayes. Don Cameron expects, should
the plot succeed, to bo retained by
Hayes as a reward for hi3 services at
the Cincinnati Convention, and for the
important part which he has played at
Washington.
“The peace and the prosperity of the
oountry are thus put in peril, to con
ceal the corruption of the party, to re
tain possession of office by fraud, and
to gratify the ambition of a baud of
political gamblers, who have staked
everything on the turn of the card
which may declare Hayes President.
The outrages perpetrated in Louisiana
and other Southern States would have
been scouted as impossible under our
free system, if they had been predicted
only 11 years ago, and after the closo
of the civil war.”
Muscle by muscle, the liberties of
the people of the North are perishing.
Gen. Banks antedated Mr. O'Conor in
the declaration that the end of the Re
public come when McDowell
crossed the Potomac and insulted the
soil of Virginia. What the (sword left
of our freedom, the legal abominations
that polluted the ballot have well nigh
finished. The people of the North still
have it in their power to effect deliver>•
ance by returning to raason, justice and
common sense. If they are incapable
of showing the same intrepidity to
save themselves that Don Cameron &
Cos. evince in destroying them, the game
is up. Mournfully the South may be
hold the wreck of such glorious insti
tutions; but she will have the consola
tion of knowing that her record in his
tory, warring for the rights of the
States, will be brighter than that of
her brethren who mado a monster and
were devoured by him.
Wells and Anderson have been per
mitted to live in Louisiana, though
they are enemies to society. That is
the best proof of all that there is no
intimidation there of any consequence.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton discoveis in
the present complication a terrible rnuis,
with no women to blame for it,— New Of
leans Picayune.
Alas! The mothers of Wjells and
Anderson were the innocent causes of
all the trouble.}
Some time ago we republished an
account of how Cromwell dissolved
the Long Parliament. This morning
we print a graphic description of how
Bonaparte dissolved the French Cham
bers. As history has a knack of repeat
ing itself, we commend these old facts
for present reflection.
The New Orleans Picayune\ makes a
sharp point on Wells and Anderson,
when it says if they had based their
refusal to obey the call of the Congres
sional Committee on the plea that per
jurers, forgers and swindlers are not
bound to do anything to criminate
themselves, they would have pretty
solid ground to stand ob.
Hon. Mr. Drew says he is Governor
elect of Florida and will be inaugurated
on the 7th. of January next. Mr.
Grady telegraphs to the Constitution :
“The Legislature, both House and
Senate, will, of course, refuse to recog
nize Stearns, the bogus Governor, and
this will virtually settle the matter. If
necessary, however, Drew will oust
him by a writ of the courts, which is
easily enough obtainable in the face of
the frauds by which Stearns was
oounted in. The Legislature will take
care of its own members—the House,
of Its own Congressmen.”
Louisiana tlie Real Issue.
The fojlovving article has been sent
to as from a source so high in author
ty that we give it conspicuous publica
tion:
Oregon is not the issue; Louisiana
is. Aii the great power of the Repub
lican press all over the land has been
steadily exerted for the last week to
divert public attention from the State
where a great outrage upon the ballot
has been committed to the State where
a dispute has amen over a single elec
toral vote. The contest in Oregon is
over a point of law which is not neces
sarily political at all. Gov. Grover
holds that when votes have been cast
for an ineligible candidate, those votes
are void, and that therefore the candi
date receiving the next highest number
of votes should be declared elected-
Tl at is his opinion, and the opinion of
many good lawyers. It is the opinion
of a good many Republicans, too, for
the Republicans of St. Louis claimed
one of the electoral votes of Missouri
on just the same ground. The action
of Gov. Grover is exasperating beyond
expression to the Republicans, because,
in order to overthrow it, they must
permit the scrutiny of Congress into the
validity of the returns from a State
which ,tlie Democrats are demanding
in the three Southern States. That is
the whole secret of their anger.
But this Is a matter that the law
j ers may be allowed to wrangle over,
as they Inevitably will; the fact for the
people to consider is a plain one—that
in Louisiana, leaving the other South
ern States out of consideration, about
15,000 votes that were east, and law
fully cast, for the Tilden electors, have
been thrown out by the Returning
Board, and that by this means a ma
jority of from 0,000 to 4,000 votes has
been secured for the Hayes electors ;
that, conceding Florida and South
Carolina to Gov. Hayes, he had only
176 electoral votes, giving him, just for
the sake of argument, all three elec
toral votes in Oregon ; that Gov. Til
dkn, had 184 electoral votes, without
the vote of Louisiana or Oregon, that
the vote of Louisiana was his by a ma
jority from 6,700 to 9,000, as papers of
all politics freely admit ; that the eight
electoral votes of Louisiana secured to
him by this handsome majority, would
have given him 192 electoral votes, or
16 more than Gov. Hayes. Never the
less these eight votes have been wrest
ed away from Gov. Tilden by fraud,
aud the whole ioice of the army, the
navy, the Senate, the l’residency and
of the vast army of Federal employees
is to be used to consummate the out
rage. Never before was so bold and
palpable a crime committed upon the
ballot-box, and in defiance of the will
of a free people. Nay more, if this
crime finally succeeds, the ballot-box
will hereforth be a mere mookery, and
this people will cease to be free.
Dundy and Pertinent.
Mayor Huff, of Macon, opened his
address to the City Council in the fol.
lowing pithy and sensible words:
“Gentlemen of the Council; You
have voluntaiily sought and assumed
a position in the publio service which,
if creditably filled, will require much
of your valuable time and attention;
and before entering upon the duties of
office permit me, in the kindest po&ai
ble manner, to suggest the propriety
of forgetting everything liko individu
al preference, privato pique and parti
san bias, and with a single eye to busi
ness, think only of that which will be
the best for the common iulerest of
Macon. Already much wild specula
tion has been indulged in a3 to the im
possibility of anything like harmonious
action by your body. In this I trust
the public will be disappointed. Noth -
ing is to be gained, but everything to
be lost by allowing personal prejudice
to get the mastery of business judg
ment. The Council Chamber is a poor
place to gratify personal ambition,
private spleen, or eoucealed malice
and those who come here for that pur
pose generally go away disappointed.”
He closed his messago in language
equally explicit, We quote;
“The circumstances under which I
have been elected may give rise to the
impression that some political bias
might possibly attach to the adminis
tration of my duties as an officer. But
I want it distinctly understood that
while I reoognlzo all the obligations,
legitimately imposed, T am not the
Mayor of a party, but of a city, and
nothing but the most impartial justice
shall ever flud favor in my eyes, or in
dorsement at my hands while dealing
officially with any portion of our pop
ulition. The peculiar obligation under
which I feel to the whole people of Ma
c>n for complimenting me to a fourth
t <rra of office, can be best shown and
expressed by the earnest effort hich
I shall make to serve the public interest
for the next two years. And now,while
humbly acknowledging the Divine fa
vor in all that has been or may hereaf
ter be done by us as a corporation, I
pronounce the new Council organized
and ready for business.”
Respectfully submitted and erred.
Mr. Edwin D. Mansfield, an editoTia
writer for the Cincinnati Gazette, thus
speaks :
We see Ben Butler elected, and that,
tx), Is right. Butler Is a man of great
ability, and an ability which is available in
practical politics. In the war he did as
much effective work as any man, although
no General. His government in New Or
leans was admirable. He is the friend of
the industrial interests, and the enemy of
all humbugs. The last is an important
point, for there never was a poor country
so overrun by humbugs as this is. Last,
not least, he is a man who can take the re
bels and copperheads by the neck and shake
them till thoy are tired. Blaine Is no lon
ger In the House, and we need Butler
there.
Ay, Butler is the “hero of Fire
Forks and God knows how many
spoons.” The men who want Ben Hill
to go to the Senate to follow Blaise
had better let him stay in the House to
bulldoze Butler.
The repudiation of the war issues
upon which U. S. bonds were issued will
be the repudiation of the bonds them*
selves. Now put that in your pipes
