CURRENT TOPICS.
1 et the Democrat who deserts his colors
to get up a Hayes party in Ma
li™ ££**£ outer darkness, for he
will surely deserve it*-Selma Times.
An appropriate motto for Hayes to m-
BCnbe on his coat of arms (if he has such a
' ‘ "Ordered— That the evidence offered
. n received.”— Courier-Journal.
The Southern Radicals are the hungri
est of the lot. It can be repeated, however,
that if a Southern Democrat of note can be
found who will take a position in the Cabi
net he can certainly get it.— Baltimore Sun.
Oue Jew, four Christians and five Turks
Pave been chosen to represent Constanti
nople in the new Turkish Parliament, ltus-
Ma would permit no such liberality as that
in her dominions, even if there was a Rus
sian Parliament— N. Y-
Mr. Hayes assumes his high office with
an irremovable blur upon his title. Con
gress felt obliged to abide by the unholy
compact it entered into to violate the Con
stitution, as ir bound by the sacred honor
among thieves. 11 still stands out, as the
settled opinion of the House of Represent
atives o f the United States, that Mr. Hayes
has no legal and just title to the office of
President. He is President iU facto, but
not President de jure. For all time this
goes down as the recorded judgment of the
House of Representatives of the United
States.— iV. T Sun.
Some of the Haycsiau correspondents
g ate that when Hayes entered the Cabi
net room Friday and saw Grant, he "ap
proached him with an evident sons' of
emotion,” grasped both of Grant’s hands,
“looked steadily into the President’s eyes,”
mid in fact lost his " equipoise .” The emo
tion displayed by Hayes was due to the
consciousness that he had arrived in the
presence of the man who had remarked,
with direct reference to his'case, “No man
worthv of the office of President should be
willing to hold it if counted in or placed
there by fraud."— Courier-Journal.
Perhaps the people will “grin and bear
it,” and perhaps they will not. We can
say to these conspirators, in the language
of Richelieu to his over-confident enemy >
“Walk blindfold, on behind thee stalks the
headsman.” Trade Is paralyzed; you have
promised it life. Labor is unemployed and
starving; you have promised it relief. Fail
in these and you will find your inventions
returning to plague the inventor. There
is a maxim out West which says that the
man who first appeals to Lynch law should
be the last to complain of Lynch law.
Having secured control through the vio
lence they inaugurate, they may find them
selves driven from the places they disgrace
through the door they opened to serve
their mean and selfish ends.— Bonn Piatt.
Are we never to have a rest? Fred Grant
has been given a lieutenant colonelcy and a
wife and Ulysses, Jr., has gone into a law
office, and just as we were congratulating
ourselves on these facts Webb Hayes, son
of the incoming President, makes his de
but. The Associated Press presents the
fledgling daily before a patient public. We
are told how his boyhood has been passed;
how his mother, doats upon him; how he
left Columbus with his father; what he did
on the way to Washington, and now, to
crown all, are informed that he “was one
of the distinguished party that called at
the White House and Capitol on Friday.”
Is this sort of thing to go on for four
years? If so the son Is more likely to be
assassinated than the President. We sigh
for Tilden ; he would have been a Presi
dent without a progeny. The Grand Duke
business should be left to Russia and the
Russians.—Philadelphia Times.
The country may expoct a rule of Sheb.
HAN-ism in the name of Hayes/ and that
means under false pretences and hypocrit
ical professions, a reign of jobbery such
as the Cookes and their confederates in
flicted on the people when they controlled
the operations of the Treasury, held mil
lions of the public funds without paying a
dime of interest, had access to the vaults
and bonds and notes through corrupt and
colluding officials, and dictated [the legis
lation of Congress on financial subjects in
the interests of speculators, through John
Sherman as Chairman of the Senate Com
mittee. They all grew rich together, as
the principals of a common partnership;
but Sherman was prudent enough to keep
his share unharmed, while the others
launched out recklessly in the hops of
grander gains, and paid the penalty of
their rashness. Now they are looking for
a revival of their former opemtioss.— N.
Y. Sun
Whether with the priest wo refer it to
Divine Providence, or. with the scientist to
the inevitable operation of the law of cause
and effect, we must admit that, with na
tions as with individuals, debauchery and
crime bring their attendant .punishment.
They do so more certainly, because the po
teatas revertendi is feebler and more ineffi
cient in its reaction in the former than in the
latter. We cannot hope to, escape from
this retribution. That the Presidency of a
republic, so-called, should be disposed of
not by the ballots of the people, but
by the fraud and forgeries of J. Madison
\\ ells and Tom Anderson, ana the chica
nery of Joseph P. Bradley, cannot prove
otherwise than fearfully demoralizing.—
The compromise of 1820 dissolved the bond
of constitutional obligation, and planted
the seeds from which sprung the conflict
ot 1861. That of 1877 scatters to tho winds
all that remained of confidence in the
truth, honor or integrity of man. We will
not seek to penetrate the future or under
take to paint the direful results with the
apprehension of which our minds are op
pressed, but rather, with Cassandra, will
wo say,: .
“Boots it the veil to lift and give
io sight the frowning fates beneath?
for error is the life we live;
'Ti?’ 9* l, our knowledge is but death,
baeii the clear and awful mirror,
ohut from mine eyes the blood-red glare,
i hy truth i9 but a gift of terror,
" lien mortal lips declare.
rV. 0. Democrat.
but the most striking group of callers
on the President-elect was none other than
the four worthies of the Returning Board
‘’ • Louisiana. They had not been long re
leased by Tucker's resolution from “the
coal hole,” as a sumptuous committee
room in the basement of the Capitol is
called, and among their first acts of free
dom from the gyves of an expiring Demo
i atic House was to call and congratulate
Hayes on the success of the latter in ob
taining his credentials to the Presidency.
The four— Weuls, andekson, Cazenave
and Kenner— filed into the back room and
the door was closed. What must have
been the reflections of those who stood on
the outside! In five or six minutes the
quartet filed out, the tall white man, An
derson, with the betling brows, leading
the way; Welds, short, chubby and old,
closely following, while tho two colored
men slunk along after them as usual. The
confinement does not seem to have hurt
them any. On the contrary, the good
victuals of the House restaurant and the
iloUsefar niente of prison life has fattened
them materially. I heard an old slave
owner remark, apropos of the sleek condi
tion of the colored men, that “in the good
old times of slavery that fellow (pointing
' > Cazhnave) would bring fourteen or fif
teen hundred dollars. Kenner, whole a
little bullet-headed, deformed-looking mu
latto, would not bring more than a thou
sand.”— Washington Defter.
The Forty-Four Coalitionists.
The Chronicle seems gratified to
know that Southern members of the
House of Representatives lately saved
the country by voting to complete the
count instead of siding with the filibus
ters. Let there be honor to whom
honor is due. Let it not be said that
Southern members alone contributed
to the completion of the fraudulent
count. There were other patriots from
divers sections who saw no reason why
Retvrning Boabd Hayes should not be
counted in.
We have published their names once,
but we certainly can afford to do so
again. On Proctor Knott’s resolution
to stop the count unless Ferry pro
duced the duplicate Vermont return,
the following Democrats voted No;

FORTY-FOUR.
Of these only 20 canto from the South
while 24 came from other seotious of
the country. But.if tho eminent forty
four are worthy of so much praise,
what shall be said of the one hundred
uad sixteen Democrats who under the
lead of Proctor Knott voted aye ob
this resolution? If the forty-four are
above praise, the one hundred and
sixteen must be beneath censure.
By the way, the Chairmen of Com
mittees are supposed to be the promi
nent men in the House. Of these gen
tlemen thirty-four voted with Mr.
Knott and eight voted with DeGollyer
Garfield and one hundred and one
other Republicans, two Independents
and thirty-six other Democrats. Asa
Georgia Democratic journal we stand
by Blount, Cook, Harris, Hartridge
and Smith rather than Candler, Fel
ton and Hill.
Brother Blaine evidently believes In
going the whole hog of fraud.
J ustices Field and Clifford did not
attend the inaugural ceremonies.
The Democracy of the Union will re
unite and become more powerful than
ever.
The Chicago Tribune figures out 41
Republicans to 33 Democrats in the
Senate. This includes Kellogg and
Corbin. _
While Hayes was taking the oath on
the Bible, Grant was similarly engaged
in wrestling with a “ snifter ” of
brandy.
Washington correspondents state
that Gen. Joe Johnston’s claim for the
War Department was being pushed by
Mosby. Oh, gawd!
Blaine is like a mad bull in the
China shop. Keep it up, Jim. It’s
none of our funeral.
■ i ■
Key may go into the. Cabinet, but he
does not carry any large number of
Democrats with him.
To those Southern men who are dal
lying with Hayesism we would remark
that at no time would the abhorrence
of the people for a political acrobat be
greater than now. —Baltimore Gazette.
Ferry and Ben Hill walked arm in
arm to the Capitol. Mr. Hill attracted
a good deal of attention by a cordial
hand-shaking when he met Blaine and
old Simon Cameron in front of the
Clerk’s desk.
Hayes was sworn in secretly on Sat
urday night because a rumor prevailed
that Tilden had been sworn in at Gra
mercy Park, and was comiDg to Wash
ington to bounce him. “ The wicked
flee when no man pursuetb.”
While the Radical adversary disinte
grates, the Democracy, North and
South, should consolidate. The solid
South holds the fort. The man who
attempts to divide this section had bet
ter go drown himself.
m . m
The St- Louis Times gives this advice
to Southern Democrats : “Timeo Dan
aos et dona fei'entes. Distrust a thief
when he offers to divide his stolen prop
erty with the owner. He is likely to be
looking out for a fresh swag.”
Buell telegraphs that some of the
disgusted Radicals hint that if Hayes
Andy Johnsonizes they will see to it
that the Supreme Court ousts him on
quo wan'anto, and will take the chances
of making termsjwith Tilden.
The staunch old News of Savannah
puts It thus: “Let us endure with pa
tience aud fortitude, and hope on.
But let us preserve our consistency and
our self-respect. Let our motto be—
No Compromise with Fraud.”
The little game of Gen. Sherman aud
Brother John to get Gen. Johnston into
Hayes’ Cabinet is a deep one. The
General wants to be President in 1880,
and hopes Gen. Johnston would divide
the Southern vote or consolidate it up
on him. Too thin !
The Springfield Htpublican thinks it
is a victory to be enjoyed with great
soberness, and it is a defeat that re
quires more than all the philosophy of
the average Democratic human nature
to accept without protest, to regard
without misgiving, or to forget with
out thoughts of revenge.
It is said that when Dr. 1.1. Hayes,
member of Assembly from New York,
and a relative of the usurping Presi
dent, heard that Madison Wells’
choice had been declared elected, he
remarked : “Asa Republican, lam
glad of it; but as an American citizen,
lam ashamed of it.” Which being in
terpreted means that a Republican is
ashamed of nothing. Dr. Hayes should
be ashamed of himself all the way
through.
A Troublesome Conundrum.
Mr. Blaine discourses at Willing Ac
complice Wheeler thusly, “I do not
see now to-day, and that is the maiu
point I desire to present, how any
Senator who voted in this Chamber
that the electoral vote of Louisiana
was legally and properly cast for
Rutherford B. Hayes and yourself, Mr.
President, is permitted to doubt that
S. B. Packard is equally of right the
Governor of that State.” We presume
the Louisiana Returning Board pro
pounded the same inquiry to Mr. and
Mrs. Hayes last Saturday, when the
two white and two black scoundrels
called upon His Fraudulency to pay
tjieir respects, and offer their congratu
lations.
Mr. Blaine may be voted down but
he can not be argued down. If Mr.
Hayes is disposed to kick away the
props which have held him iu piace so
long, Mr. Blaine proposes to fix the
responsibility and know the reason
why. Tho position of His Returning
Board Excellency is not quite as pleas
ant as profitable and between two
stools he may hit the ceiling before he
knows it.
The letters of “Argus” to the Con
stitutionalist have attracted great at
tention, uud much curiosity is evinced
to know who the “fellow” is. We are
not yet prepared to lift the veil from
the identity of “Argus,” but may ven
ture to say that a great surprise awaits
the public when the mystery shall be
eleared up.
The Philadelphia Times publishes
the following important correction :
You failed to state iu tho programme
ft- r the sth “that the platform from which
Hayes will view the procession will be
made of Returning Boards, supported by
bayonets.” Yours, Each Chandler.
Don Cameron.
Correct D. Q., and no dilatory motions.
Washington, D. C., March 3, 1877.
The Nashville American well says
that Democrats who take a place un
der the Hayes Administration take it
cum onere. If thereby they are able to
do their country any good, they will be
commended and applauded. If Mr,
Hayes fails on the line he has an
nounced, they will go down with the
odium which justly attaches to a few
and only a few—other Southern men
who have proved traitors to principle.
For his country’s sake, a Southern
Democrat might well hesitate to re
fuse; for his own sake, he might well
hesitate to accept.
■ i
Some of the regulars at”the arsenal ap
pear to be among the last to surrender the
belief that Tilden is elected, and the com
mandant has had some trouble in main
taining discipline. Some of the soldiers
yesterday were very violent in hurrahing
for Tilden and proclaiming that he is the
lawful President. A skirmish ensued In
consequence, the result of which was that
several of the participants were ordered
Into confinement.— Washington Cor. Balti

Had the Democracy resisted the
Morton-Chandler conspiracy, the army
might not have backed the Fraud
worth a cent.

(Correspondence Constitutionalist.)
Washington. D. C.,
Sunday Night, March 4th. 1877.
Grant is known to favor the resigna
tion or withdrawal of Packard and
Chamberlain. A prominent Republi
can, a relative of Hayes, is to write to
Chamberlain advising him to resign.
Grant has had no counsel with Hayes,
has exchanged no word with him con
cerning his Southern policy, and knows
nothing of Hayes’ intentions or views
beyond -uch public expression as he
has given them. Hayes’ administra
tion will be only nominally Hayes’; it
will be really the administration of
Sherman, Morton, Chandler and Came
ron. Do not infer from this that there
is no truth in the reports of a concilia
tory course toward the South. If these
men think such a course will strength
en their party and weaken the Democ
racy— divide tho South they will
adopt it, not from change of principle
but change of policy. They are and
will always be at heart the same ma
ligaant enemies of the South that they
have ever been. The Shermans have
taken possession of Hayes bodily, aDd
he will be a mere tool in their hands.
As art indication of the spirit of
the party that accompanied Hayes
from Columbus to Washington the
fact of their waking the echoes with
the song of “Sherman marching
through Georgia,” when they received
the news of the completion of the
count, may be entitled to considera
tion. That is the tune to which Hayes
marched to Washington. Shall Geor
gians give a “friendly acceptance” to
the administration of such a Presi
dent? or an endorsement of those
who have advised or do advise a
“friendly acceptance” of it? What
ever messes of pottage may be given
or offered the South, let it be remem
bered that he who proffers them is
simply a machine in the hands of
thieves and bitter enemies of the
South, who would not have had this
opportunity of attempting to corrupt
and divide that section if the Democracy
had not been betrayed and sold. Let the i
South still be solid—solid agaiust
fraud, solid against thieves, solid
against traitors, solid against all who 1
would sell their birthright for a mess
of pottage.
Stanley Matthews is the manwho is to
write the letter to Chamberlain advis
ing his resignation. I have this to
night from high authority. You may
have news of it by telegraph before
this reaches you.
Senator Gordon has labored earnest
ly and effectively in the cause of South
Carolina and Louisiana. He is, I am
happy to say, “himself again.” On ac
count of the late reports of his sick
ness I was surprised to see him look
ing so well and strong. Mr. Stephens
has been suffering from a neuralgic at
tack, and has not been doing as well
for the last four or five days as previ
ously.
Foster Blodgett and his son-in-law,
Ephraim Tweedy, are here. I don’t
know what they are up to.
Mr. Blount denies that he was one of
the Democratic Congressmen who made
such haste to call on President (?)
Hayes and extend to His Excellency
the compliments of the season. I
must say that I was sorrowfully sur
prised when I saw Mr. Blount’s name
among that party, and am glad to learn
*f bis denial. T. K. O.

Dr. Sehenck’s Standard Remedies, i
The standard remedies for all diseases j
of the lungs are Schenck’s Pulmonic
Syrup, Schknck’s Sea Weed Tonic,
Schenck’s Mandrake Pills, and if taken
before the lungs are destroyed, a speedy
cuie is effected.
To these three remedies Dr. J. H. Schenck
of Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled suc
cess in the treatment of pulmonary dis
eases.
The Pulmonic [Syrup ripens the morbid,
matter in the lungs; nature throws it off
by an easy expectoration, for when the
phlegm or matter is ripe a slight‘cough
will throw it off, the t patient has rest and
the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,-
Schenck’s Mandrake Pills and Sohenck’s
Sea Weed Tonic must be freely used to
cleanse the stomach and liver. Schenck’s
Mandrake Pills act on the liver, ’•emoving
all obstructions, relax the gall bladder, the
bile starts freely, and the liver is soon re
lieved.
Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle
stimulant and alterative; the alkali of
which it is composed mixes with the food
and prevents souring. It assists the di
gestion by toning up the stomach to a
healthy condition, so that the food and the
Pulmonic Syrup will make good blood;
then the lungs heal, and tho patient will
surely get veil if care is taken to pre
vent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult Dr. Schenck,
either personally or by letter, can do so at
his principal office, corner of Sixth. and
Arch streets, Philadelplia, Pa., every Mon
day.
t- cheneks medicines are sold by all drug
gists throughout the country.
