CURRENT TOPICS.
Congressman LsMab, ■whose health soohc
months ago was very precarious, now con
siders himself one of the strongest anti
healthiest men in Washington.
Commodore Vanderbilt, should he live
until the 27th of next May, •will score 81
years. His condition is reported nearly
every day as feeble, but comfoi table.
The best method for the dissolution of
the solid South by a Republican Presides'
can be told in a few words—cut off the car
pet-bagger, root and branch.— A'- Y. Tri
bune.
Mr. J. C. Derby, of Appleton’s, celebrated
the Christmas worthy of the days of Aga
memnon. Twenty children and. grand
children surrounded the “old folks at
hirae” and danced around the
tree.
If the President, Vice-President and Jnc.
Lcoan’s wife cannot make John Logan
Senator, it is about time he embraced reli
gion again, and telegraphed fresh allegi
ance to the Church —Boston Post.
We are not into White House secrets, but
we will almost wager a subscription that
the Piesident is burning the midnight oii
over another Sunday interview with tin
Associated Press man. These ready-made
Interviews are so convenient—they save
trouble on both sides.— Baltimore Gazette.
From tto perusal of a number of pon
derous leading articlos in the Cincinnati
Commercial, which seems to have devoted
itself to organship for Hayes, wo appre
hend that his claim to the Presidency rests
upon the alleged fact that he ought fairlj
to have been elected, although he realb
waa not, and that therefore the South n>
Returning Boards accomplished substan
tial justice by their frauds. We think it
has heretofore beon remarked that the Re
publican party is a party of great mora
ideas; this last Is one of the greatest.—
Baltimore Gazette.
Mr. Simon Camekon has made his ap
pearance in anew character The negroe
of Hilton Head have named a chspel in bis
hrnor “Saint Simon’s Chapel.” This i?
the way in which the “Pennsylvania fox’
became canonized: In the Spring of 1865
Just after the close of the war, a number i
Seua ors, members of the f ablnet an
other government officials made a visit t-
Hilton Head, ana Simon Cameron was out
of the party. On Sunday they attended a
n gro church, and after the sermon the
minister, made an appeal for money to pay
a) lebt of about S3OO on the chapel. Camebon
became greatly interested, and proposed u
the Washingtonians to raise the mone>,
h) himself contributing the largest share.
T.iis was done, and the negroes in grati
t ide called the church St. Simon’s Chapel.
— Baltimore Bun.
In a letter to a friend in Atlanta, Mr.
Hill, of Georgia, uses these words: “In
the late election both Mr. Tilden and Mr.
Hayes received some votes. Will it not be
better to have either for President than to
have a ruler who received no votes?” Mr.
Hill thinks “tho last alternative possible,’'
which we take to mean that Grant may
“hold over.” Mr. Hill need not be alarm
ed ; the people of this country do not con
template t....t “last alternative,” and they
do not give up the hope that the man
honestly elected will bo inaugurated Presi
dant.—Baltimore Gazette.
If he has not been incorrectly reported,
it is the desire of Mr. Tilden that the
Democrats should stand firm in this na
tional crisis—that is, that they should not
permit themselves to be overawed and in
timidated by Gen. Grant and his troops.
Mr. Julian, an original Abolitionist, a man
who has left his old party because he hat
remained true to his old principles, declares
that he wiii have nothing more to do with
the Democrats if they tamely submit to
usurpation and cowardly forego the fruits
their victory.—A. 0. Picayune.
The journals ef all shades of politlca
belief note as ono of the grandest acts oi
the conspicuously blameless life of our
late fellow-citizen, Mr. John L. Shoemak
er, who has just passed away universally
lamented, that when he was tendered a
certificate of olection by the managers ol
his party, in 1861, because of the taint oi
unexposed fraud attached to it, he rejected
it by a public letter, in which he said: ‘1
believe it to be my moral, legal and politi
cal duty to tho community, to my party
and to myself, not to sustain what seems to
be a fraud.” Rutherford B. Hayes has
the floor.— Philadelphia limes.
“There is a great deal ef loose and fool
ish talk about ‘compromising’ the dispute
upon the Presidency. Neither Democrats
nor Republicans can honorably agree to
any such compromise. The efforts of pol
iticians now should be directed only to the
work of ascertaining exactly what the pro
visions of law are and to a strict compl - -
anoe with their every detail. They may
next be turned to the devising of some plan
whereby the imperfections of the prosent
laws may be corrected, and the dangers
through which wo are now passing be here
after averted, by the adoption of some
plan of counting the votes which will meet
with the approbation of good citizens who
desire not the success of this party or of
that, but the peace, prosperity and honor
of the American republic. It would be a
great outrage and disgrace if the frauds of
two or three Returning Boards should im
pose upon the nation a chief executive who
was not elected. It would boa greater
outrage, a greater disgrace, a greater dan
ger, if Congress should put up the Presi
dency for sale as the prrotorian 'guards
used to put up tho Roman purple.” —N. Y.
Tribune.
Springfield Republican: “There has been
great maladministration; public fuuds
have been wasted, publio credit impaired,
and taxation is heavy.” Such was the
picture of Louisiana affairs drawn by YJm.
A Wheeler, Geo. F. Hoar and
Wm. P. Faxaln their report to Congress,
February 23,1875. It was to be expected
that the people of Louisiana would seize
the first opportunity afforded them at the
ballot-box to secure a different administra
tion of state affairs. Thoy did so, last
month. In a vote not only the heaviest
ever cast in the State, but heavier in pro
portion to population than was ever cast
In Massachusetts, they gave eight thou
sand majority to Nichols for their next
Governor. But the army of the United
States is expected to be employed, next
week, to install in the Executive Chair a
man who was rejected at the polls by an
overwhelming majority in an unprecedent
edly full vote, and whoso only claim to the
seat rests upon the secret action of an ille
gally constituted Returning Board, which
incurred the “emphatic disapprobation”
of Messrs. Wheeler, Hoar and Frye,
two years ago, for its “unjust, illegal and
arbitrary act on” iu then reversing the
popular verdict.
New York Sun : The Republicans have
had unlimiteu control In Louisiana, South
Carolina and Florida ever since the end of
the war. All the officeholders are Republi
cans ; all the inspectors of election are Re
publicans ; all the registers who make the
lists of voters are Republicans; and all the
local canvassing officers are of the same
party. In addition to this, Gen. Grant,
stretching the law, sent troops thereto
prevent Intimidation; and yofc all this was
not enough, because the result of the vot
ing was not such as tho Republicans de
sired ! And now, after all, because mur
ders Were committed, thoy prqpose to
change the returns, and to deoiare those
candidates elected whom the majority of
the people voted against! There is no
principle of law, no clause in any Consti
tution, no suggestion of common sense, no
impulse of humanity, Which can justify a
change of the returns ol an election be
cause crimes are committed in the commu
nity ; and no President declared to be elec
ted by an absurd and unjustifiable method
can ever feel secure in his seat.
Gov. Wade Hampton’s Letter.
Not long ago Gen. Hampton wrote a
letter to Col. Mo3by for presentation,
it is said, to President Grant, concern
ing South Carolina affairs. The Rich
mond Dispatch promptly characterized
this move on the part of the illustri
ous South Carolinian as “a mistake.”
Our Richmond contemporary did not
think Mosby to be the proper kind of
intermediary, and especially for such a
•nan as Hampton. Now, we learn by
telegraph, that Gov. Hampton has ad
dressed a letter to Mr. Hayes, the Gov
ernor of Ohio, placing him, so far a3
the Presidency is concerned,
upon the same plane as Mr.
Tilden, the President-elect. At tho
first blush this excites surprise, and,
whether rightfully or wrongfully, it
meets, in this community, with sorrow
iul condemnation. As the case stands,
it would seem, without further expla
nation, to be a political blunder of the
first magnitude. Surely Gov. Hampton
uas been ill-advised. The Democracy
of the Union do not reeognize the pre
tensions of Mr. Hayes, but they do as
sert the legal and constitutional elec
tion of Mr. Tilden. To concede that
-hey stand on the same level is a pro
digious concession, which must work us
uurt.
We have no kind of doubt that Gen.
Hampton ardently desires, above all
hings, the resurrection of South Caro
lina ; but we submit, in all humility,
hat the cause of Democracy is the
•ause of South Carolina, and what In
jures one must, of necessity, harm the
other.
Resides, what is the use of writing to
vlr. Hayes, even if, by any stretch of
imagination, a Southern leader could
'otsibly think of him as the next Pres
ent? Does Gen. Hampton expect to
commit him to a course of justice to
the South that would eliminate the ele
uents of Radical Republican rule? It
is upon such elements that the whole
f audulent claim of the man stands;
aud if he were fool enough to kick over
. the conspirators and carpet-baggers
. who made him the conspicuous preten
der that he is, it would be a case of
felo de se politically. Mr. Hayes has
already sent to an anxious enquirer in
this city a slip from the paper of a
Bohemian editor and, almost in
tle same breath, as the telegrams of
y -sterday inform us, “has written a
letter to a friend in Malone, in which
h says all newspaper reports purport
ing to foreshadow his future policy are
without foundation whatever.”
We are of opinion therefore that men
of the South need not give themselves
any useless trouble in writing to Mr.
Hayes for indications of his policy,
when the Democracy of the Union do
not admit that he will be in a position
tj do them either good or evil. It is a
wtsteof time, and a dangerous waste
of material.
If Mr. Hayes should reply to Hamp
ton in a manner that would give aid
a id comfort, who wonld believe him?
If anybody really believes that Hayes
is to be the next President, let him in
dite an epistle to Zach Chandler, Don
Cameron or O. P. Morton, men who
made Hayes and run his machine.
We shall be more than pleased to be
c mvinced that Gov. Hampton’s letter
to Mr. Hayes Is the part of wisdom and
g iod diplomacy at this time. We fear,
h iwever, that the excessive love he
bears his state has, for the moment,
clouded his vision.
Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar.
The name of Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar has
bean mentioned in the public press as
having some shadowy opinions regard
ing Mr. Hayes, of Ohio, and his so
o tiled Southern policy. It was hinted
that Mr. Lamar was not altogether
avorse to a compromise, etc., etc. We
have the highest authority for stating
that there Is not one word of truth in
these insinuations; that Mr. Lamar
Is In no accord with those who
t ilk of the indifference of the
Smth to Hayes’ inauguration and the
support of the South in certain so
c died events. The truth is Mr. Lamar,
a i far from expressing any such opinion,
has maintained a dignified silence as to
the attitude and purposes of the South,
in the contingency} alluded to. There
is not the slightest authority for asso
ciating him with any man who expects,
in any event, to give countenance to
Hayes’ pretensions. Every Democrat
in Washington knows this and knows
too the object of coupling his name
with men who are reported to have ex
pressed such views.
A special correspondent of the Spring
field Republican, writing from Wash
ington, under date of the 27th, says :
“It was noticed that the tone of Ban
king’s speech in the House, to-day, was
warlike, and it is a fact that the Demo
crats who went over to New York to
see Tilden and who have returned
here talk in a more belligerent style.
The letter of Ben Hill, just printed, is
inspired by this new feeling, and it is
rumored that Mr. Tilden has at last
made up his, mind to fight for the
Presidency, in case it becomes neces
sary. Some of the rumors go so far as
to give details of the scheme by which
he is to maintain his claim to the Pres
idential office by force. Whether these
stories are merely a game of brag, it is
not easy to decide, but a good many
Democrats aie whispering them about
as if to comfort o faithful and to ter
rify the Republicans.”
A portion of the Senatorial sub-Com
mtttee on Loni jaia Affairs, Howe,
W adleigh, Ogle by and McMillan, at
tended a Christ as night’s reception
at the house of a negro man. The
belles with whom they disported were
chiefly cream-colored.
Gov. Hayes ami tile South.
We are pleased to be informed that
the Chronicle and Sentinel agrees with
us that it is a clear .waste of clean
white paper for anybody to write to
Mr. Hayes for indications of a policy
which he U not at all likely to be called
upon to pursue as President of the
United States. So far so good.
As to the insinuation of “wicked
partners,” we should like our contem
porary to be more explicit. Who are
these “wicked partners,” an 4 in what
does their “wickedness” consist? And
what have these partners, so-called, to
do with an editorial difference of
opinion?
A Handsone Compliment.
We are permitted to publish the sub
joined complimentary letter:
State of Georgia, j
Comptroller General’s Office.
Atlanta, Ga, 13, Dec. 1876. J
R. J. Wilson, Esq., T. R. Richmond Ob., Au
gusta, G*.:
Drab Sir : Y.,ur digest for this year re
ceived, and like ail your former works, it Is
neat and correct.
Please accept cordial thanks for the effl
clent manner in which you have performed
your duties.
Truly yours, W. L. Goldsmith,
Comptroller General.
Between the action of the Supreme Court
of Florida and Gen. Barlow’s report,
Hayes stock has a downward tendency.—
Washington Union.
Then what is the use of anybody
writing to Mr. Hayes, of Ohio, for indi
cations of his policy as President ?
Some of our contemporaries speak
very highly of Mr. J. B. Campbell, so
long Financial Secretary of the Execu
tive Department of this State, and our
own observation is that his loDg expe
rience of the most important clerical
business of that branch of the govern
ment, and his thorough acquaintance
with the people of Georgia, make him
a most valuable officer. Having held
his present trust under Gov. Brown
and Gov. Smith, his knowledge of the
monetary affairs and transactions of
the Executive office for yoars past is
really wonderful.

If Democratic Georgia will spend its
money lu maintaining an effective freo
school system for whites and blacks, it
will not only have immigrants in abund
ance, but Its thousands of poor whites and
Ignorant negroes will become much more
valuable to society.— Boston Journal.
The Journal will be gratified to learn
that under Democratic rule in Georgia
the number of colored pupils educated
in free schools, at the expense of the
State, has risen from 6,664 to 50,359,
and the number of white children to
109,990—the total of 156, 349 or nearly
as large a proportion of the whole
number of school age as attend in
in Rhode Island, according to the re
cently published figures.— Springfield
Republican.
