CURRENT TOPICS.
Tlio Texas newspaper that calls itself
Ihe Jimplecute will regret to learn that
there is a Pee Dee Bee in North Carolina,
and a Chesapeake Chesapike in Maryland.
Mqt.tkf. is not jealous of Grant, but a
chastened expression has been sitting upon
his fine visage ever since Madison W ells
spoke of the American hero as “the great
est living general.”— Courur-Joumal.
A correspondent asks us to remind Con
gressman Mobkison that In the game of
forty-five the seven spot always beats the
eight. But we fear Congressman Morri
son will reply that this ien’t the game of
forty-ti vo.—Bprinafidd Republican.
A Kepublican who speaks “by the card’’
siys the.odds are in favor of Hates before
the Tripartite Commission, because he
finds nothing in VIH, bCHENCK, chap. 2,
sec. 1, to show wherein “sevens” were ever
known to beat “eights.”
Yes, it is a farce ! The second act hss
just begun. One more—with the scene in
Oregon—and the performance will be over-
That jolly French burlesque, “Trial by
Jury,” is no greater farce than this per
foi mance, so far as its result is concerned.
But of this more anon. Let us only hope
that we are mistaken in the character of
the play, as many play-goers often are. It
may be no farce, but a tragedy.— N. Y.
Sun.
A good example for long-winded lawyers
and judges was afforded in an insurance
suit tried before Judge Dalt at New
York on Tuesday. The plaintiff’s couns* 1
summed up in four sentences, tbe de
f udant’s counsel said he didn’t want to
b >re the jury with any more remarks, ti e
judge merely said, ‘if you believe the
p aiuliff, you will find a verdict in his fa
vor. and the jury so found without leaving
their seats—all In less than three minutes
from the conclusion of the evidence.
The main trouble is that the Democrats
are without a consulting head. The rank
and-file have faith in Hbwitt. He has
too many bonds and too much dyspepsia
to view the situation from a practical
sand point. Col. Phlton is here, but bis
jidgment is as vapid as a school girl’s
o imposition. If he didn’t happen to be a
nephew of his uncle, he would be too small
a factor lu the squabble to be seen through
a microscope. It needs a man of biain and
nerve to sail the ship. The head for the
oecasion is wanting, although the small
fry think they could manage affairs if giv
en the chance.— Washington Special to Cin
cinnati Enquirer.
Though the Commission will have re
fused by a majority of one vote to enquire
whether Tilden carried the States of Flor
ida and Louisiana, and whether the Hayes
electors were counted in by fraud, theie
will bo before the whole country such com
plete and overwhelming proof of those
facts that none but the most ignorant or
shameless partisans will even pretend to
dispute them. If Hates enters the White
House, such will be his title to occupy it.
Time will not cure its defects or change its
qualities. Holding under a title tainted
with fraud, he will De xcown L. hk>wi>y
the Fraudulent President—AT. Y. Sun.
Whether the Electoial Tribunal shall
count in Hayes or determine tbe issue in
favor of lilden It has exposed the u tter
rottenness of the country. It has shown
that the Supreme Court is a pointed fraud,
and that our politics are constitute 1 of but
two elements—corruption and cowardice;
and, if the forebodings of the people are
not unfounded, it will speedily do for the
National Democratic party what fifteen
years of adversity and defeat could not do
—it will destroy it. Some of the leaders
who have been truest to it, we are told, are
making combinations in anticipation of the
fraudulent counting in of Hayes; several
of the Southern States, which have hereto
fore trusted in and stood by it through
weary years of oppression, are asking
these significant questions, “Where are we
#to stand?’’ “What hope, what rest, what
justice, can the peace for which the Nation
al Democracy is willing to surrender this
victory give us?” -N. O. Democrat.
The indications are quite positive that
tke Democrats in Congress, even if the
majority of the Commission do bulldoze
the Presidency, are not going to get up a
row over it. It is too late for such talk,
and the double-leaded manifestoes that
some valorous journals are leading to the
winds are just so much chaff. To knock
the Commission in the head now, and de
clare Tildes elected by the House, means
nothing short of war. Men may fight be
fore they submit their controversy to arbi
tration, but mqp are not much disposed to
fight after such submission. It is safe to
predict that whoever the Commission
counts in will go in quietly. These people
who are unfurling their dread standard to
the breeze now should have enlisted eooner
Thw Commission will sail on smoothly
though it be through exceedingly dirty
water. The war cloud haw drifted away,
and the journalists of the country might
as well write quiet editorials and have
them set up with single leads.— Courier-
Journal.
Mr. Wilson virtually confesses that
African citizenship has thus far been a
failure,and attributes the failure to “causes
that lie too deep to be reached by law.”
He calls it the result of “a disease for
which as yet no adequate remedy has been
prescribed, or if prescribed, has not been
provided.” It will be difficult, we tb ink, to
make those who are to come after us be
lieve that the men who forced African citi
zenship upon the country did not deliber
ately smother reason, common sense and
experience in reckless partisanship. They
certainly could not have thought that an
inferior race, degraded and debased by
nearly two centuries of servitude, with all
the Ignorance,servility and stupidity which
hereditary serfdom brings—were fit to be
lifted in a single day to the topmost
round of political manhood. They cer
tainly could not have thought that no pro
bation, no preliminary preparation was
needed to strip this tremendous change of
all danger. If not Idiots or madmen, they
must have known that the laws of human
nature could not and would not be reversed
for their benefit, and that something more
than a constitutional amendment was re
quired to transform an African slave into
an intelligent and conscientious American
citizen. If the enfranchisement oi the
blacks had not been a failure, it would have
been the greatest of miracles; and the im
partial judgment of posterity will declare
that the men who did this thing committed
a crime for which there is neither apology
nor atonement— St. Louis Republican.
mi i iw—— _
The Cincinnati Enquirer denounces
the Electoral Tribunal as a packed jury
and declares that the Democrats have
no hope of justice or fairness at its
hands. It urges the Democratic mem
bers of the Commission to refrain from
further participation in its proceedings,
and calls upon the House to place
every obstacle in its power in the ay
of the count and repudiate the declb
iou when made.
“ Walts to Jogara.”
LOUISIANA.
Not long ago, we were told by some
of our own party papers that it was
“painful to find respectable men and
respectable journals looking at the elec
toral commission simply as a body of
partisans. It may, perhaps, be just to
apply those terms to some of the mem
bers of it appointed by the houses of
Congress ; but surely the judges ol the
Supreme Court ought not to be con
sidered so partisan as to make us fear
that party passions will cloud their
reasoning powers or warp their judg
ments. The habit of sitting in judg
ment and hearing coolly both sides at
their best, the habit of weighing evi
dence and strictly applying the law to
facts—these beget a cast of mind which
is not easily affected by party passions.
The present Supreme Court has deliv
ered decisions almost unanimous which
sternly rebuked the partisan legislation
of the Republican party. They have
shown that they hold the sacrednesa of
the constitution far higher than the ex
pediences of parties.” The Baltimore
Gazette even went so far as to speak in
this way : “ For our part we should not
fear to trust the questions at issue to
five Republican judges. No judge who
values his reputation or his soul’s
health could suffer party feeling to
sway his judgment of such frauds as
tiie Florida and Louisiana cases. We
look for an unanimous opinion from the
five judges.”
Up to this time, the respectable
journals and men have had good
grounds to mistrust the Republican
Judges. It is true that the Democra
tic Judges arrayed themselves ou the
other side, but they can not be put in
the same category with Bradley, Mil
ler ana Strong. The Democratic Jud
ges, one of whom was appointed
0) Mr. Lincoln, were willing to throw
wide open the doors of investiga
tion, so that there should be no
barrier to the entrance of the
truth. The Republican Judges, on the
other hand, have steadily voted to
stop every crack or cranny through
which the truth might find its way.
Wherefore, though there may be par
tisanship on both sides, it is infinitely
more creditable on the Democratic
than on the Republican side. The
Democrat# had little to fear, if the evi
dence of fraud could be admitted; the
R publicans knew that the admittance
of evidence would prove their over
throw. What a monstrous position
this servile adherence to the letter of
the law, and defiance of Its spirit,
forces the Republican Judges into!
They have soiled their own ermine and
violated the very sanctuary of justice.
They have invited destruction upon
themselves; for while their treachery
may be applauded, the traitors will be
abhorred.
borne little time after the Gazette ex
pressed its willingness to trust the
judges in the Electoral Court, the true
inwardness or Miller, Bradley and
Strong becap# manifest and -
neoTfgtffenecl journal made the following
good points on Radicalism : “Florida
and Louisiana may have voted for Til
den, but the Radical Governors say
they didn’t, and that ends the matter.
No evidence of any sort or kind what
ever can be admitted to show that the
vilest and most glaring frauds taint the
certificates issued by Stearns and Kel
logg. But when you como to Oregon
the thing is entirely changed. Here
the Governor’s certificate is not worth
the paper upon which it is written.
Therefore, Florida and Louisiana must
be counted for Hayes because the ex
ecutives of these States, not the peo
ple, assure us that Hate# ought to
have them, and Oregon must be
counted solid for Hayes in the very
face of the fact that the Governor cer
tifies under the broad seal of that
Stat# that only two Haybs electors were
appointed by the people. And now,
what are you going to do about it ?”
There may be the shadow of the
shade of hope that the technicality
judges will give Tilden the one vote
necessary from Oregon ; but men who
believe this are about as scare# as
hen’s teeth. If the Radical judges
were forced to give Tilden the Presi
dency, it might be the refinement of
malice and revenge to let him become
Chief Magistrate by Cronin’s vote ; but,
unless all signs fail, the eight men who
swallowed Matt Carpenter’s dose and
Mad Wells’ infamy, without hesita
tion, are capable of absorbing Cronin,
nose and all.
Mr. Wm. Beach Lawrence, a cele
brated jurist, advises the Democratic
members of the Commission to with
draw, on the ground that the Commis
sion has only done what it was pro
posed by the Republicans that the
President of the Senate should do, and
to prevent which the Commission was
instituted. Nor is the case different in
its results if we are to regard the Com
mission not in its- constitutional or
legal aspect, but as a matter of arbitra
tion. That even an arbitration between
nations is not binding unless the award
follows, the submission was fully shown
in the case of the reference of the
northeastern boundary of the United
States to the King of the Netherlands,
who, instead of deciding what were
the mountains of the treaty, made th e
boundaries between the United States
and Nova Scotia ia the middle of a
river. The decision was at once repu
diated by the United States, and Eng
land admitted that it was not binding
od us. Had the Commission gone into
the examination of the testimony on
which the rights of respective claim
ants depended, Congress might have
been, at least, morally bound by it,
whatever the decision. As it is, there
can be no pretext that the report of the
Commission has any forco.
George Bancroft went into hear the
arguments before the Commission,
Tuesday, and fell asleep while Senator
Howe was defending the Louisiana Re
turning Board, whereupon Randolph
Tucker neatly remarked to a com
panion : "See that: history sleeps while
fiction, speaks.”
— ■
The Radical judges are satisfied with
the broad steal of the States. The Su
preme Bench has become like a dis
reputable junk shop, the receptaole for
stolen good#,
Montgomery Blair always believed
the Supreme Court Justices who be
oag to the Republican party would be
guided by their party feelings equally
with the Republican members of Con
gress who are on the Commission.
Judge Blair thinks the case would not
have been one whit different had
Justice Davis been on the Commission
instead of Justice Bradley. Justice
Davis never did act with the Demo
cratic party, nor will he act with the
Democrats when he enters the Senate.
Had the Democrats not passed the
Electoral bill he tninks that in one
week from the time it passed everything
would have been right. He thinks that
the House Democrats have fallen into
a trap purposely prepared for them.
The LaGraDge Reporter confesses to
a feeliDg of deep indignation at the
passage by the House of a bill to
abolish the State Board of Health, and
adds: “During the present session the
Legislature will have wasted enough
money to carry on thj operations of
the Board forty or fifty years. The
very men who oppose the Board are
the ones who bring up bills to change
county lines, and allow men to peddle
without license. They aro men who
have not paid any attention to the de
sign or the merits or the benefit of the
Board. They are the unadulterated
peanut legislators, who see a wart on
the end of their noses and imagine it is
a mountain in the distance. Out upon
such farcical legislation !”
If Hayes gets iu, it will be by the
broad steal of the States.
——-
Some of the most violent opponents
of State aid under Bullock, and some
men who won cheap reputation and
honors by such antagonism, are now
found up to their noses in advocating
State aid. Fie upon them !
State aid to railroads was all that
was damnable under Bullock. Will
soma of our Representatives explain
why they are so much in favor of Stats
aid now ? Come, now, gentlemen, let
us have light.
Justice Miller, one of the High Old
Joint, who refuses to investigate fraud,
Is quoted as having said before he went
on the Commission that “this Tilden
party has no rights, and ought not to
expect anything.” He is a worse parti
san than Morton or Garfield.
The New York Sun puts the “beei”
on Hayes thus: “Shall he take the
office when his only title to it is the
fraud In Florida and Louisiana? Shall
he be President upon stolen electoral
votes? Shall he be the Fraudulent Pres
ident ? If Hayes can get well over this
question, he will not find his conscieno©
much bothered by any of those that
ime afterward.”
The present Winter is remarkable in
England for unusual symptoms of early
vegetation; and this is still more the
case in France, where in some districts
the season appears, by all reports, to
be several weeks in advance. One of the
French papers has taken the trouble to
refer to the records of past centuries
for examples of like abnormal winters,
and gives the following instances of
premature springs: In the Winter of
1183 the fruit trees iu France were la
bloom in December, and the vine in
February. In the Winter of 1288 vio
lets picked in the meadows on the
banks of the Rhine were sold in the
streets of Cologne. Cornflowers were
seen in February, and the vine was
in bloom upon the hillsides of the
Moselle in the month of April. In 1572
the trees were covered with leaves in
January, and the youDg birds were
hatched in February, In IG2I there
was a general flowering of shrubs and
plants in February. In 1658 there was
neither snow nor frost. In 1782 the
heat was extraordinary in December.
There was thunder storms as in August
and everything was in blossom iu Jan
uary. In 1821 the temperature was
singularly mild; green peas were in
flower in December, and the rye was
gathered in before the 21th of June.
The vine harvest was one of the most
remarkable of the present century. The
winter of 1857 is the last one that can
be placed on the list of “spring win
ters.”
