JOS. TILLMAN, Editor.
THURSDAY, MARCH 8. 1877.
The Urowiiliitf Act. of Infamy.
The last step in tin* destruction of
the Republic culminated in the in
auguration of Rutherford 1!. Hayes,
of Fremont, Ohio, on last Monday, in
the city where the Devil reigns su
preme, over Radical judges, politicians
and ollico-hu^ders.
If Lord M yjaulay’s spirit can loo!;
back upon earth on this scene without
exciting his npprobativeness at his
quaint criticism upon obr writt n
Constitution, “it is all sail and no an
chor;” then indeed is the realms of
bliss sweet to him, and changes this
one great weakness in human nature.
If Jlayes can, with tho certain
knowledge before him, that Florida
and Louisiana voted for Tildon for
the Presidency, stultify his conscience,
renounce his so-called religious procliv
ities, and steal into the Presidential
chair; who will not honor the depart
ed statesman from Kentucky, when he
remarked: “I had rather bo right
than be President;" and exclaim “it
was hot I that did it V”
The truth is, that for tho sake of
peace and commercial begging, the
Democratic party, always evincing the
highest order of patriotism, submit
ted to a commission, gotten up with
out constitutional right, law, or pre
cedent, in order to witness the effect
of a cause, as true in the science of
government as in the laws of nature.
The wise-acres at Washington are
attempting to foreshadow the policy
of the new Administration as one of
contemplated pacification; but in the
light of the past, the inauguration of
Hayes is but another long lease of the
control of the National Government
to the Radicals. To recognize Nich
ols and Hampton would be to forever
abandon Republican hopes of being
able to steal the Electoral votes of
another Southern State; for as sure as
there is a spark of manliness and self
respect left in the breasts of the South
Carolinians and Louisianians the gen-
erationsyet unborn in these States
Will be taught to hate the very name
of the Jacobin party, who rule by
-.fraud and chicanery, and who brush
away respect for right and justice not
to say a decent regard for the consti
tution of our fathers, as easily as a
cobweb, when suspended across their
pathway.
The policy foreshadowed as to
Southern recognition, by building up
the infamous Radical party, by specu
lating upon the shattered fortunes of
the South, is in keeping with this
God-and morality party, so-called.
Believing that “alt is well that ends
well,” we must think that the days of
the Republic are ended and that of
usurpation commenced, the end
of which must sooner or later be an
other revolution and the sacrifice of
lives upon the altar of human am
bition.
An extra session of the United
States Senate was had on Monday
last, Vice-President Wheeler in the
cl air. Objections were made to Kel
logg, of Louisiana, Lamar, of Missis
sippi, Morgan, of Alabama, Corbin
and Butler, rivals of South Caro
lina, and llieir credentials were laid
upon the table to be taken up Tues
day.
The Senate participated in the in
augural ceremonies, which was the
weakest, the most puerile public re
ception a public man ever had.
Hayes will wish that ho was the man
in the moon before four years creep
over his ill-fated carcass.
The telegrams of Saturday last
stated that Senator Gordon induced
Grant, before bo retired to the shades
of private life, to instruct the District
Attorney in this State to nol pros
many of the cases of parties arrested
in North Georgia for breach of the
revenue laws. This was a singularly
graceful act on the part of the re
tiring President, and Senator Gordon
deserves credit for bringing the mat
ter to his attention.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says: “It
is due Mr. Til den to say that he never
personally had faith in the Electoral
Commission. He did not encourage
its creation, as has been alleged. He
wanted his case to rest with the
House of Representatives in a contest
with the Senate, but it was not be
coming in him to electioneer. Mr.
Tihlen has been swindled by Ins best
friends and ‘advisers.’ ”
Having failed to bully the Southern
Democrats into support of Hayes, the
Republicans are trying the bribery of
office. The New York World warns
Democrats that nil these fine promises
are made to be broken.
The poetical ejaculation of t lie
Seminole in his defiance is peculiarly
applicable to the Hayes usurpation:
“I live on height -it is my only food !"
U rant's La si Words,
“I am satisfied that tho Nh'holls govern
ment is the government which should stand,
and that the sentiment of the country i;
clearly opposed to troops.' 1
Of all public men the world over,
Grant has exemplified the most stub
bornness and the least patriotism. A
wild fanaticism elevated him to a po
sition for two terms which he has
conspicuously disgraced. Without
reason or Christian sentiments, this
! tnan, who has retired from public life,
will never heave one pang of remorse
1 at his treatment of the Souther States,
i who are rapidly managing their own
internal affairs according to their
I ideas of State sovereignty, without
j any assistance whatever from Grant
i or the Federal government.
“I am satisfied” means a lie—a
hypocritical cant. If he had been
i satisfied ho would have immediately
| after the election recognized Xicholls;
1 and the creatures of fraud—-the cor
rupt judges—might have been in
duced to have given the State of Lou
isiana to Tilden and Hendricks, and
saved the Nation from the disgrace of
having a President created by villainy
unparalleled in Republican history.
His opinion- as expressed in the
above paragraph is at variance with
Senator Howe’s Louisiana report,
w hich was signed by every Republi
can Senator.
If the “sentiment of the country”
had been respected by Grant and his
satellites, Mr. Tilden would now bo
President, and no question as to the
I vote of the States of Louisiana and
j Florida. Rut no, Grant, Morton,
Chandler, & Cos., determined to count
in Hayes, and secured the services of
Senator Edmunds, that foxy public
umn, who placed the “cat in the meal
tub” for the Democrats to stumble
over by the creation of the Grand
| Commission, which was a decidedly
i new construction of that tattered and
much-abused Constitution. If Grant
should go now' to “running a bank”
as is currently reported, we predict
: Lis ultimate poverty and ail increas
ing desire for the “ardent” which has
been the bane of his life, and which
will he the cause of his death.
May divine Providence spare this
country from another such a public
nuisance.
The Democracy Patriotic.
“Should a Presidential election occur,
; with the State of Louisiana situated as it is,
an attempt to use its electoral vote so as to
; return a President would cause a civil war.”
Ex-Senator Matt. Carpenter, of
Wisconsin, in his seat in the United
States Senate upon the seating of the
mulatto Piuchback, claiming to be
returned from the State of Louisiana,
j gave utterance to the above. Cur
j penter’s position on the Louisiana
| election four years ago cost him his
political head, while the report of
I W. A. Wheeler, as chairman of the
j H ouse Committee of Investigation
on Louisiana affairs, elevated him to
I the position of Vice-President, a place
he disgraces.
Carpenter did not know what the
I result would be last November at the
polls in Louisiana, but bis prophecy
! has been fulfilled, and but for the
patriotism of the National Democratic
t party, and most especially of the
| Southern Democracy, civil war would
I have been inevitable.
Upon whom, then, can the people
confidently rely for the perpetuity of
Republican institutions ? Will Hayes
and bis following ever permit bis suc
| cessor to qualify ? Is not our Re
publican government virtually and
1 truly at an end, and was not the
i Constitution stabbed to the heart last
Friday, by Ferry? and did not Hayes
bury it out of sight on Sunday last
when he qualified? Will the South
now run in hot haste for office under
his Erauduleucy ?
Oh, my countrymen! starve rather
than accept office under such an Ad
ministration ! If any Southern Dem
ocrat accepts office under Hayes he
is purticcjM criminis —a traitor to his
section and country.
Does Hayes never hesitate about
becoming a Fraudulant President ?
Let us trust that he does. The man
who can take such stolen goods with
out a pang of doubt and remorse,
must indeed be hopelessly depraved.
One term in Congress, according to
Grace Greenwood, is simply time
given to a man to realize what a fool
ho is. A second term is somo time
given to show what fools his constit
uents are.
“This hungry, insatiable, arrogant,
impudent, humble, sublime, magnifi
cent and pitiful creature,” is the man
ner in which the New York Herald
begins a description of the office
seeker.
These must be some identification
between tliose eight old smooth bores \
and that octoroon hall.
Presidents are made, not elected.— !

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
SCENES IN THE HOI’SE OF UKI’-
lUjSESTATIVEtS.
NEW RUMORS AS TO 11 A YES'S
SOUTHERN POLICY.
The Coming Cabinet Some Half Civil
ized People Call on President (Jrant
The Count, Etc.
[From Our Own Correspondent. 1
Washington, 'March 2, 1877.
There were individual members of
the Houso yesterday who became in
tensely excited, ht the general feel
ing was Calmer than for some time.
The decisive vote by which motions
for delay were voted down early in
tho day, and tho course of Speaker
Randall, seemed to convince nearly
every one that tIN; count would pro
ceed and a result he reached before
the 4th, and to suppress, on the part
of most members, any violent ex
pression of feeling. But it was an
I occasion never to bo forgotten, liever
j theless. The spectacle was presented
] of a great party yielding serenely to
tho result of an acknowledged fraud
j which deprived it not only of the
mere spoils of victory, hut of a noble
! opportunity to reunite the country
and restore it to its old prosperity.
There will be many who will condemn
the surrender of tho Democratic
House as an act o! cowardice, but let
ns hope that when better understood
it will be considered a highly hon
orable acquiescence in the decision
of a commission for which long before
the party had made itself responsible.
It there was any fault it was in cre
ating the commission, and not in
keeping religiously the promises made
j in creating the commission.
No Legislative business was trans
j acted in either House yesterday'. For
j the first time the reported agreement
between Hayes and leading Southern
men took tangible snnpc yesterday in
j the papers. Even then, however, it
j was little more than a newspaper
| statement. Anion; the alleged con
j ditions were the recognition of Hamp
ton and Nicliolls as Governors of
their respective States, and the elec
tion of a Republican Senator from
Louisiana by the Democratic or regu
lar Legislature.
It is also said that no Southern
man will have a place in the Cabinet
at first, but that after matters become
more settled, and the Southern peo
ple have become reconciled in a
measure to the new administration,
they will bo allowed to suggest one
or more members. Undoubtedly the
Southern policy of Hayes will be an
improvement on Grant’s, and will
therelore from the first create a better
fueling there; but the representative
Southerner who first accepts office
from the incoming administration,
will be a bold man indeed.
The only member of the present
Cabinet who is spoken of as likelv to
be continued in office is Secretary
Morrill. The Secretary is a violent
partisan, but bis political labors were
not allowed to interfere with his of
ficial duties as Chandler’s and Came
ron’s did.
A band of half-eivilizcd Indians
called on President Grant yesterday
to extend their good wishes on bis
retirement from office. Thus it is
seen that no administration can bo so
utterly bad as to be entirely without
friends while it lives and manners
when it dies. But Indians are in
capable of a big'li state of civilization.
No delegation of whites have called.
After the objection in joint con
vention to the vote of a Vermont
elector, the Houses separated and the
Senate at once voted unanimously
that all the electoral votes of Vermont
should be given to Hayes and Wheeler.
The House took a recess until ten
o’clock this morning. To-day, up to
the time we close this letter, the Ver
mont case is under discussion in the
House, but there seems to be no
doubt it will be disposed of to-night,
and the count completed by to-mor
row night. Reno.
An awful conflagration is reported
to have happened at Kansas City.
The Bateman House was burned, and
with it the wife and three daughters
of Mr. Bateman, the proprietor; also,
one of the guests. Six of the guests
received injuries from leaping from
the windows.
, Gen. Allen’s five-story iron block,
occupied by Swan A Gregory, dry

$3,200,000.

Advice for the Future.
Tho opinions and advice of Seuati r
Gordon, of Georgia, an given in an
interview reported in another column,
are worthy of particular attention.
Senator Gordon is a patriot, with ma
ny of the elements of a genuine
statesmanship, and there is no South
ern representative, now in Washing
ton, in whoge personal and political
integrity the people, not only of. t) o
South, but of tho whole country, have
greater confidence. It will be seen
that ho regards tho yielding of tho
field to tho Radical conspirators an a
needless surrender. Helms not the
shadow of a doubt that had tho Dem
ocrats in Congress taken a manly
stand and held united counsels, Gov
ernor Tilden would have been inaug
urated without a breach of the peace.
Rut, as thi! Senator nays, “all that
is past and the future must be looked
to.” It must bo confessed that the
prospect is not a very inviting one.
To the searching eye only perplexing
and threatening troubles present
themselves. We are about launching
upon an untried political sea, with a
chart and compass gone, and an unau
thorized and unskilled hand at the
helm. For our country, there ii no
room to hope for aught but disaster.
With Ilaycs, the bogus President., in
the seat of Washington and Jefferson
and Madison and Jackson, we will
soon be drifting, heaven only knows
whither.
Under the circa instances, the ad
vice of Senator Gordon is about as
good as could bo given, Let no
Democrat think of adding dishonor
to enforce humiliation. There is
something of magic sometimes in
mere succession, whether honestly or
dishonestly achieved. It is a com
mon weakness in human nature to
pav homage to power and position,
without regard to the moral bases
upon which they rest. Arid in poli
tics, especially, there have ever ben
found those who are ready to •'bend
the supple hinges of tho knee, that
thrift may follow fawning.” That,
here and there, will appear some crea
tures, willing, nay eager, to pick up
the crumbs that may fall from the
master's table, and hail bim.-in return
therefor, as their rightful lord need
not excite any surprise. But. that
any Democrat of prominence or <. veo
local influence, in the Mouth, or any
respectable portion of the voting ele
ment of the party, will be lured into
any sort of affiliation with the party
that sustains and glories in the tri
nmuh of fraud over the constitutional
rights of tho people, we cannot, at this
moment believe. Indeed, we are not
prepared to show tho anticipations of
Gan. Gordon that Ha.yes will attempt,
or would be able now to make the ef
fort, to present such “glittering of
fers” ns lie describes. We have no
oxueetutious that be will recognize
the Nicholls or the Hampton govern
ment. Such a plan for conciliating
support to his usurpation—not for
purposes of justice— has no doubt
been suggested to him and urged
upon him, but until we shall have
witnessed such recognition, wo shall
not behove Hayes capable of defying
the very influences that, have elevated
him. Neither do we believe that ei
ther Chamberlain or Packard would
have lingered so long upon tho “rag
ged edge” if assurances had not been
given that the success of Hayes would
be the success of their usurpation.
However, in any view of the case,
General Gordon’s advice is excellent
and we commend it to every support
er of Mr. Tilden.
Judge D. A. S:.ialt.ey, of the United
States Court for the Vermont Dis
trict, has resigned. About two years
ago a special act of Congress was
passed authorizing him to resign on
full salary during the remainder of
his life. Having completed twenty
years of service on the bench, and
being in feeble health, he a few days
ago sent his resignation to the Presi
dent. Judge Smalley was appointed
during the administration of Presi
dent Pierce. Before going upon the
bench Judge Smalley was a leading
Democratic politician, having been
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee at the time of President
Buchanan’s election.
Diffebest OincuMsT.vxcKS. — Louis
iana gave Tilden over 8,000 majority
on much the heaviest vote ever polled;
Oregon gave Hayes about 1,000 ma
jority. Political burglars in Louisiana
put up a job to steal the eight electo
ral votes from Tildon; a counter
burglary of one Hayes vote was at
tempted in Oregon. The Electoral
Commission decided that there was
no way of recovering the stolen goods
in the Louisiana case; it has found a
way of restoring the Oregon vote to
its rightful owner. —Springfield Re
