The Democratic party is now in the con
dition of the frog—
"who tied himself to a hickory stump,
And be cussed and he swore, but he could
not jump.”
Sam Babu telegraphs to Washington that
he asks no favor of Hayes. Sam. is afraid
will be violently perforated with a post
mice and, if he fails in resisting proposi
tions’ from the new administration, he
stands erect upon the reoord.
The South has been so often deceived that
we" can hardly venture to say that we may
not be again, oven in the promises now held
out to us. But Gen. Grant, the most ob
stinate and persistent man in the land, has
thoroughly tested the despotic system and
the rule of the South through ignorance
and dishonesty. He has at last conlessod
that it is a failure, and we can hardly sup
nose the new President will attempt to con
tone a policy which has failed under the
direction of Grant. -Richmond Dispatch.
The old administration lies a-dying and
the new is on the threshold. The Wash
ington Republican has been the mouth
of the old; it seems to havo been en
./•iged to perform that function for the

oopeal for home rule in those States, this
\ the ground that the Democratic and In
dependent journals have tiken from the
day that the carpet-baggers, backed by the
whole power of the federal government,
l,e~an their unholy rule. The sudden con
version of the Republican is .remarkable.
It moans something. It is not a sudden
outburst of virtue. It is part of the in
trigue to capture Southern men and deliver
them over to lixYES.-Baltimore Gazette.
What was said of old about “Greeks bear
ing gifts” will probably be said again to
the Southern people by way of admonition
and warning. But if their own experience
lut not taught them caution, they will
scarcely be disposed to profit by the advice
of others. Their most trusted leaders
already scout the idea of building up a
Republican party at the South to aid in
perpetuating the power of the Mortons,
Chandlers and Shermans. But purely
visionary as the Hayes “Southern policy,
as his friends have foreshadowed it, may
turn out to be, it would have at least the
merit of being less law-defying than that
of Grant, and by so much the country
would hare reason to be glad of the
change. It would be a great mistake,
nevertheless, for Mr. Hayes to have any
“Southern policy” at all, as contra-distin
guished from an Eastern, Northern or
Western policy. If he will leave all the
Ktates free to manage their own affairs
and shape their own destiny, favoring no
one section at the expense of another, he

heartily tired of so much “policy” and so
little real statesmanship.— Baltimore Sun.
Business stagnation continues and grows
more hopelessly chronic, in view of the
helplessness to which Congress is seem
ingly reduced by the astounding decision
of the Commission. Not all the assurances
of the Kepublican press that the South
would acquiesce in the destruction of con
stitational liberty has inspired business
men with confidence. There are no premo
nitions of violence and anarchy. Yet every
man feels that the paralysis of death has
attacked the Republic, and been pro
nounced an incurable disease by the Com
mission. There is no nerve for physical
contest. There is no nerve, either, for busi
ness enterprise. If such things can be
done as have been consummated in Florida
and Louisiana, and Congress be powerless,
the future of the Republic is dark, and
business despairs. There would be more
hope if there was sufficient vitality to
grapple with the law breakers, and make
them feel that the American Republic is
too young to die. But while men sink lan
guidly back, and do not resist a decision
that Congress cannot save the Republic
from the hands of men who violate the
laws of States in their unholy greed for
power, how can there bo confidence in the
future ?— Albany Argus.
Of all the poor creatures in the world the
Poor devils who write anonymous letters
to editors and public men are among the
worst—perhaps the very worst. They need
Ihe courage, which is oue of the noblest of
virtues, to speak out, manhood, which is
one of the first of human duties and the
responsibility which ought to accompany
complaints and criticism. Every man with
brains enough to fill the eye of a cambric
needle, ought to have boldness enough to
sign his name to what he writes, or self
control enough to be silent if he lacks the
courage to do so. “Of all the cants in this
canting world the cant of criticism,” says
•Stujxe, “is the worst.” especially when it
comes in the shape of threats or denuncia
tion without a name to support it. The
anonymous threats sent to the candidate
Tor President, so disgraceful to the parties
who send them, and dishonoring to the
country, in the ease of Governor Hayes,
will probably turn out a po'itical trick to
excite the people. If in any way they sug
gest evil to evil-minded persons, the sub
jects of them are better fitted for the peni
tentiary or the straight-jacket than the
ireedom of the country. The men who
suggest assassination might do it in the
dark, but the chances are that they who
write about it are arrant knaves or hopeless
fools.— N. Y. Express.
By good fortune your correspondent ob
tained a description of the dresses as de
cided upon by Mrs. Hayes and her inti
mate lady friends and advisers. The in
augural be of elegant black silk,
cut priucesse in style, and will be high in
the throat, with long sleeves, and, of
course, full train. It will be trimmed with
black velvet, blue satin and Valenciennes
lace, and, although rich and elegant, is
pronounced very plain. The cost will be
SSOO. The evening or reception dress will
be of Quaker gray, with corsage waist,
square neck, demi-sieeves and full train.
It will be trimmed with Valenciennes lace
fringe and flowers, and will cost S3OO. The
morning dress will be of blue cashmere,
handsomely trimmed with silk of the same
shade, with fringe to match, with demi
train and princess polonaise.—Lifer- Ocean.
For the Fraudulent President.
From a Hymn of Mr. Sankey’s.
Sowing the seed by the daylight fair,
Sowing the seed by the noonday glare.
Sowing the seed by the fading light,
Sowing the seed in the solemn night—
Oh, what shall the harvest be ?
Sown in the darkness or sown In the light,
Sown in our weakness or sown in our
might,
Gathered in time or eternity,
Sure, ah! sure will the harvest bo.
Oh, what shall the harvest be Y
Sowing the seed of a lingering pain,
Sowing the seed of a maddened brain,
H lO 8e0( * of a tarnished name,
proving the seed of eternal shame
vlt, what shall the harvest be ?
To Subscribers.
Now that the Presidential question
is settled, and we know who is to be
the President, it by no means follows
that all interest in Federal, State and
Foreign affairs will cease; but rather
the importance of future legislation
and the course to be pursued by the
new administration at Washington,
will be of more interest to the people
at large thau even the late campaign
itself. And at its very beginning we
wish to say to the large number of
readers of the Constitutionalist that
no pains or expense will be spared to
keep its columns up to the high stand
ard it has heretofore enjoyed as a
11 rat-class newspaper in every respect.
Our terms are within the reach of all
—six dollars a year for the daily; four
for the tri-weekly and two dollars for
the weekly.
We shall relax nothing in energy and
enterprise, and promise our old friends
aud new subscribers that we shall give
them a paper for the year 1877 equal,
in all respects, to any newspaper in
the South Atlantic States.
The encouragement we are daily re
ceiving from renewals of old subscrib
ers and advances from new friends
warrants us in making the above state
ments, aud we take this opportunity of
thanking our friends everywhere for
the support given us in the past and
the promises of the future.
The End and the Responsibility.
|N. Y. Sun.]
A President of the United States se
lected by processes of fraud, is about
t pass through the ceremony of in
auguration. In this, and in the pre
liminary proceedings of the Returning
Boards, the will of the people has been
set at naught, the decision of the bal
lot box has been falsified, and the Con
stitution has been violated, the Con
gress, the President, and a majority of
the Supreme Court all joining together
in this deliberate departure from con
stitutional law.
Who are the persons that are re
sponsible for these things ?
The managers, leaders, and counsel
lors of the Republican party are re
sponsible first of all. They devised
the scheme of fraud, and they carried
it through in Florida, Louisiana, and
Washington.
Secondly, with a few laudable excep
tions, the Democratic Senators aud
Representatives in Congress are respon
sible. Having under the Constitution
the power and the duty to defeat this
conspiracy and to give effect to the will
of the people as expressed at the bal
lot-box, they weakly yielded to a panic,
threw their power away, forswore their
duty, and committed themselves, their
party, and the country to the decision
of an unconstitutional tribunal. In this
cowardly surrender, the measure of
Uwifi Y%*ponsibility was filled full; and
though their party may be relieved
from it, the Representatives, the Sena
tors, and the country can never escape
the consequences of their act.
Next, the members of the Electoral
Tribunal are responsible—not merely
the majority, who, in the face of their
oaths, refused to investigate the facts
they were commissioned to investigate
—but those other members of the
House, the Senate, and, above all, of
the Supreme Court, who consented to
take places upon that unconstitutional
Tribunal. Every man of them ought
to have known, and several of them
must havo known, that it was un
constitutional and wrong—every man
should have refused to touch the un
clean thing.
But the eight who not only violated
the Constitution, but violated their
own oaths, in order to consummate the
conspiracy of fraud, have a deeper and
a blacker responsibility of their own,
as the authors of a crime have a deeper
guilt thau the mere accessories.
Next, the Republican party is re
sponsible because it takes the fruits of
the enormous wrong by common con
sent, none of its members, with only
two brilliant exceptions in the House
of Representatives, uttering a word of
protest.
Finally, Rutherford B. Hayes is re
sponsible, because he receives, keeps,
aud uses the great dignity and power
conferred upon him through this net
work of Republican fraud, relieved
only by Democratic folly.
These facts cannot be forgiven, con
doned or extenuated. They are like
the siu against the Holy Ghost in reli
gion, which no repentance can expiate.
Above all, no good behavior on the
part of a President thus fraudulently
placed in office can wash out the stains,
the shame and the guilt of his eleva
tion.
There is no safety for the Republic,
except in the remembrance of those
who are guilty, and in the infliction of
such political punishment as shall for
ever deter all men from a repetition of
such a crime.
—
The Submisaists’ Victory,
We publish elsewhere the final and
decisive vote in the House of Repre
sentatives, last Thursday, which re
sulted in the defeat of the obstruction
ists by 148 to 116, Democrats to the
number of 45 voting with the Republi
cans. As these proceedings are now
matters of history, it is as well that the
actors therein should be placed promi
nently before the public.
A Washington correspondent tells the
following good story : Henry Watter
son promised Fernando Wood to sup
port his resolution for impeaching
President Grant, but when the caucus
met and Wood introduced his resolu
tion, Watterson spoke against it. Wood
amazed, said : “ Why, Mr. Watterson,
what does this mean ? You assured me
you would sustain this measure.”
“ Why,” blandly replied the impertur
bable Henry, “Mr. Wood, that was
twenty-four hours ago!” with which re
ply he seemed to consider the matter
fully explained. Watterson began his
Congressional term with 100,000 volun
teers, and ended with a baby which has
made a good deal more noise 'than his
100,000 men,
THE FILIBUSTERS LAST FIGHT.
A Summary of tlie Decisive Vote.
On Thursday last, Hon. J. Proctor
Knott, of Kentucky, offered in the
House of Representatives the following
amendment to a pending resolution,
which, if adopted, would in all proba
bility have defeated the count:
“ Resolved, That this House requires
that the package tendered by the mem
ber from New York (Hewitt) to the
President of the Senate, in the presence
of the two Houses yesterday, and pur
porting to be a certificate of the electo
ral votes for President and Vice-Presi
dent from the State of Vermont, shall
be opened by the President of the Sen
ate iu the presence of the two Houses,
and if found to be said certificate, the
same shall be submitted, together with
the certificate read in the presence of
the two Houses, to the Electoral Com
mission for its judgment and decision ;
and that the Senate be requested to
make a like order requiring the Presi
dent of the Senate to open such pack
age in the presence of tho two Houses,
and that until such order be made the
House will Dot bo ready to meet the
Senate and proceed with the count of
the electoral vote.”
As the vote progressed on the reso
lution, and as there was an apparent
prospect of its having a majority in its
favor, the most intense excitement pre
vailed throughout the hall.
At the close of the roll call, a rumor
prevailed that the resolution was car
ried, but as member after mem
ber who had been out when their
names were called, or who had with
held their votes, rose and in response
to the second call responded “No,” the
vote was announced as yeas 115, noes
148. The following is the vote in de
