<£l}c (tmistiinFionSfist Democratic l'npcr in Georgia. ~ j B. RANDALL, Editor. A XJGHJS OA-: Thursday Morning, March 8, 1877. 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.

J D New, Indiana. 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 more Sun. Had the Democracy resisted the Morton-Chandler conspiracy, the army might not have backed the Fraud worth a cent. FROM WASHINGTON. Grant’s Latest Acta Before Retirement —Hayes to Run the Machine as lie Finds It—The Fraudulent President in the Gripe of the Shermans-The South Should not Compromise w ith Her Destroyers— Mr. Blount’s De nial—He did not “Flunk”.—Blodgett and Tweedy on Hand. (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. mhl-th&sat-lm A CARD.
