tho cour oi i 1 -i ' ' eea:
One thing all men t.ve. Tho Tso

docisii >n.
Jin. IX A. Wm.'i, in discussing, at
3’oaton, on Thhrsdnv, the cause of
the pr< 1 put industrial ami financial
depress! in. :.iil that a “sound system
of cui'i'i acv was not alone sufficient
to 1 1 ;• i. hack our prosperity. There
must lie a complete and radical
chance in the entire fiscal policy of
the nation. There mast lie a reduc
tion of all public expenditures.” This
is ti-ue. Wo roust stop government
extravagance, with the heavy burdens
in the way of taxation to support it,
before we can hope for the bettering
of things.
Thi: greatest t rouble that our breth
ren of 'tlie. Ifayes organs have, just
now, is their inability to lind words
adequate to the indication of their ;
wrath upon learning that, through the:
action of Gov. Grover of Oregon they ,
are themselves in the pit which the
leaders of their party digged for the
Ifetnoern ‘They are like the school
master in Maine who knew us well as
anybody what Blah- Boston was in, i

Florida.
The people of this ltadieal Ml have
endured indignities until all human
forbearance seems to be fast drawing
to a close. But while their grievan- j
ces are almost beyond human en
durance, wo implore them to bear ,
j with patience a little while longer,
1 their many troubles. Let Grant put
t’hr ball in motion, and then their j
; lime will come to strike for iheiriib
ertiou, and strike out of existence the
last ltadicnl thief in their midst. Wait
a little while and y.vjr time will most
asfmrrdlv come. It is not far in tin
; distance either.
What a rad commentary upon free :
government when a President can
descend so low as to prostitute his;
j office ns Grant has done for partisau
1 purposes, and thereby become a party
Ito the mo: t. disgraceful frauds ever
i known to mankind. There is no get-;
:Gg round the fact that Grant has by
I his most deliberate acts made him
s-lf guilty of treason by his wicked |
eli’orfs to chaugo the verdict of eight
; million of voters. Will these eight:
• million of voters permit him to do so.
:is the question. If they do, then have |
they lost their honor and. seij-rcspi el,
j and free government will justly be
! made a mockery. Wo dont believe that
the people will much longer permit
him to tamper with their liberties
against • their will and wishes. But
! we will noon see.
Tito Myslery.
W hat Grant intends to and > seems
,to be veiled in the recesses of the
future. That lie is exceedingly am
j hitions none will deny, lie will eer
! tainly not hesitato to call upon the
army to carry into effect any m furious
plan that, he may fall upon, and it is
| tint too true that the army under
! Sherman can be counted cm to obey
hG edicts, for be seems to be devoted
:io Grant, soul and body. The people
wiil to all human appearances .soon
j be called upon to witness the attempt
made by these groat Union conserva
tors in overthrowing the liberties of
' the country. They have been schooi
i ed to await with patience for an overt
i act, and yet they stand calmly by and
see him trample the Constitution
under foot' with perfect impunity.
The question may well bo asked, when
has he conformed his action to the
Constitution and laws of the country ?
What regard has ho shown for his
oath ? What respect has he for the
lit art fijs of the people? We run an
swer, most truthfully, none whatever.
Then what are we to expect, of him
| under the circumstances.? We may
j reasonably expect to see him make
i the attempt to usurp power, and pro
! claim himself dictator, law giver,
ruler, master, emperor, or whatever
i will suit him best.

A Washington special to the Haiti- '
more O-nc.la says: “An army officer i
of high character is tho authority for ,
the siak.ii' nt that Grunt docs enter- ’
tain the idea of continuing himself as
President, 'id.is officer says( that!
Grant docs not. dk'-nigo his plans to;
j members rtf’his Cabinet even, and
! that he has sufficient self-reliance to
believe that at the critical moment lie
can seize the r< ins ;■ >wer ami re- i
! tain them; that ho has convinced:
J himself that in such an event the:
j capitalists of the country will not I
: 'idler an outbreak to occur. He says
i also tied, Grant believe:; that lie cm. :
with one of ills f unous expressions,
j like ‘Let us have peace.’ electrify the
Northern heart, and that the great
; mass of tho lb publicans will gladly
hail him as dictator rather than >v i
Tildes inaugurated.”
Since nil his usurpations, insults
and bullying has failed to drive the
i people of tho outraged Southern i
States into an overt act of resistance,
■ and the conservative men of all s'-c
--tions of tl;e Anion arc becoming
sensible of the danger which threatens
our free institutions and common
liberties, it is about timo for our
would-be (V ; :r t<> abandon his am
bitious ami revolutionary project. We
j commend to liim the fable of the
maiden who thought grei n became
i her complexion best but •. ho counted
. her chickens before lit, y were batched,

T!u> Great, Cilantro.
The New York Sun says: In the
early days of the Republic tlio men
who were elected*to the most exalted
stations were proud to call themselves
j the servants of the people, and in all
their acts they were careful to show
their recognition of tile fact that they
] were but the chosen instruments to
j carry out tho people’s will. Of late
i years, however, all this has changed,
ami the Federal officers, from Grant
j down to the scurviest Custom House
runner, appear to think that they arc
endowed with despotic powers over
the people, and that the people have
no rights that they are bound to re
; sped.
Hence it is that the President, ille
gally uses tho army to overturn State
governments and keep his personal
and political friends in power; and
hence it is that cheating at elections
has become the principal means re
lied upon for success by the party
leaders who train under the com
mand of Grant, Chandler and Came- j
ron.
]e publicans who are not office
holders, and who move ia respectable
society, applaud this usurpation, and
are delighted when fraud is used to
reverse the result of an election which
goes against their party.
Our Washington Letter.
Washixn ton, D. C., Dec. Bth, 187(1. ,
Carl Sehurz’s deningogism is con-:
genital. Ho is determined to be be
fore the people, and as lie cannot be ,
heard on the floor of Iho Semite lie
at tempts to force hie lubrications upon
that body, in the shape of a commu
nication, offering advice upon an
amendment of the Constitution.
When the Senate met yesterday the
chair laid before it a communication
from Carl Sclinr?., and John B. Hen
derson, dated St,. Louis, Deo. 1 tie 1
praying that a Constitutional amend- j
ment bo submitted to the various j
States, by which the counting of t lie
electoral vote for President and \ icu ,
President, and declaring the resiiiG
thereof may ho submitted to the Su-j
preinn Court of the United States.
This is, substantially, the same idea as,
embraced in Mr. K Inlands' resolu
tion offered to tho Senate on the first..
day of the present session, so that ,
gcutl, man quietly moved that Carls
communication lie laid upon the table
which was agreed to. By his speedy
action in tliis matter, Mr. E lmunds j
completely “took the wind out of poor!
; Carl's sails,” if he. did not “steal Iris j
thunder.” Neither of them need tie:
proud of the suggestion ns offered, i
Had it been some plan to abolish the ;
! electoral college and prevent all fu- j
lure stifling of tho popular voice, its
; paternity would be something worth
! claiming. Tho Semite was occupied
the balance of the day in a spirited
discussion of tho propriety or neces
sity for priding Senator Sherman’s
report upon the Louisiana election,
which n port had been transmitted to
the Senate as an accompanying iloon
;Hu nt, to t!ie President’s special mes
sage of Monday. The message and
.ill accompanying documents were or
dered to be printed.
In the House, Mr. Atkins, of Ten
j ncsseo, a member cf the commit tee on
appropriations, reported the pension
: appropriation hill and gave notice
that he should call it up this morn
ling. The bill appropriates $11,853,-
I 300. A number of bills weru intro
duced and referred.
A dispatch was received yesterday
|by the Hon. L. F. Lane, of Oregon,
from Senator Janies K. Krilov of that
Sratc savin j til it joint certificate.', had
been signed by the Governor to Cro
nin, and to two Republicans.
I The latter refused to recognize Cro
nin, and proceeded to elect one Watts
:in his stead. Cronin held on to the
certificate and elected two liopubii-1
cans iu the place of the two who re- [
fused to act witn him. The Repub
licans organize, 1 and east three voles j
for Hayes, but have no certificates. |
Cronin and the other two organised !
and cast one vote for Tilden and two I
for Hayes. This one elector is all that i
Tiiden wants, and on the principle|
j laid down bv the Republicans them-i
j selves, secure:; his election.
Tho Democratic members of the
j House held a caucus to icecive and
i!ct upon tho report of a committee of
'seven previously appointed to agree j
! upon a policy to be adopted and also
I upon the proposed impeachment, of j
; the President. It was determined that i
no impeachment should bn attempted, j

Y. herday Chamberlain was inang- j
! iirated Governor of South C.uolin.a,!
notwithstanding the fact that the dem- j
oeratie Legislature has the requisite j
quorum of 53 members holding the 1
; certificate of tile Secretary of State. 1
! without counting the members from
'by iiehl and Laurens counties. In j
his inaugural address he said: “The
•ji iit'mman who was my opponent for;
. this office, in the late election, lifts re
cently declared, as I am credibly iu
| formed, that lie holds not only tho |
peace of this city and State, but my j
i life iu iris hand. Ido not doubt the;
tre.ii ~f this statement. Neither the |
peace < f this State nor the life of any
man who now opposes the consnmma-;
ii. oi of i lie policy of fraud and violence j
isj safe from the assaults of those who
! have enforced that policy.” General j
Hampton is out in a card, and quot
ing the above language of Chamber-!
lain be says: “1 pronounce the state
ment. infamously false. I, by my
; umvoarried exertions, have endeav
ored to preserve the peace of this
State, ali i I have thus contributed to
j shield from popular indignation, one
•.vh has proved himself a, disgrace to
Ids rank and a trailer to his trust.*

whom I act countenance tlio hand of
an assassin.”

(Dun Dmjxkkx Pbesident.— I The
Courier-Journal'* Washington enrro
, spondent t- ays the habits of President
; Grant, are worse now than nt any
previous period of his history. He is
evidently drinking very hard, and
appears morose ind intractable. This
; will account for his violent partisan
utterances to Senator Randolph, and
the intense hatred ho manifests for
the South. For such a man to use
the word “impertinence” in connection
with the illustrious General Hampton
is enough to call down upon his head
the maledictions of all true Southrons.
But it is fortunate that our besotted
| Executive has shown his hand so
plainly. Henceforward it will be im
possible for him to resume the hypo
critical mask under which ho was
wont to perpetrate the most diabolical
| acts of injustice and oppression. We
shall know where to find him, and be
; prepared for every emergency, lint
i what a contrast to his noble predo
j ccssors! —Macon Tcln/raph.

Is General Grunt Insane ? \
Whilst the country at large is be- j
ing aroused by tho willful violations
of the Constitution and laws under H
orders evidently emanating from the !
coneoctive ingenuity of its chief mag- 1
nitrate, and the reckless character of ]
his notions give rise to till sorts of ap
prehensions as to what may be his j
lmmcdialo or remote intentions, we |
are gradually setting ourselves in the
conviction that, this distinguished cap
tain of the military revolutionists is i
becoming insane. Medical authori-1
tics cite frequent instances where men |
have lost, their balance by long con
tinued excitement iicd constant fol
lowing afn r a single idea. Generali
Grant's single idea was evidently to j
secure a third term of the Presidency.
For this purpose ho employed every
agency and machinery that hisposi
tioiuii't'ordcd; but with all these at!
bis coinu ami, public sentiment set so !
strongly against his ambition as to
utterly dei', at his vaulting aspirations, .
and he found himself laid on they
shelf. Then came chagrin, disap- j
pointment, mortification, and many
mental condition:. tho natural forc
i runnels of mental aberration. One
|of the peculiar exhibitions of tins
• state is his apparent expectation ol 1
having to “hold over” tho 4th ol j
March next, so as to save the country ■
i by his unselfish /lulriulism.
1 'Fortunately for the country, with
all l,i.s cunning and duplicity, he has
' not been aide to conceal 1 is revolu-1
| tionary designs. Even lu i most in-;
! diligent adherents in tho past have j
j not failed to discover tho “method in 1
| his madness,” and are on their guard
against the consummation of his med
| Hated i-oup d'l / G There is good rea
-1 son therefore to believe that, should
: he push his usurpations and outrages
j mncli further, thereby endangering
the peace of the country and the lib
erties of i tie people, the H<mse of Rep
resent::! i ves, sun!, uiicd hv the conserv
ative element of the Senate, will take
effective measures to restrain his
power for evil during the balance of
