It. is charged by Democrats that
the Radicals are importing negroes
into North Carolina from Maryland
and Virginia, to vote for Hayes and
Settle.
i m m
Tuk Cincinnati Enquirer of Suturday
says that private advices from the Pacific
Coast concede Oregon and California to
the Democracy in November. Nevada is
regarded as doubtful.
A Noutiusun paper remarks that the
worst thing Teu>kn ever did was to give
General Grant ft ,000 towards buying
him a house soon alter the war. And
the beet thing that Hayes never did was
not io give Ghant a cent for bis house..
It Is estimated that twenty-four
hundred people crowded into the
Opera House on Monday night to
hear Mr. Hill's speech. Many of
them, unable to obtain seats, stood
patiently for two hours, and would
have stood,much longer if Mr. Hill
had spoken longer.
Senator Thurman is reported to have
written to a friend in Washington that
if tire DcmocrU bud not from the start
conceded Ohio to the Republicans as a
matter ot course, the latter could not have
carried it. He also expresses the confi
dent opinion that Ohio will go Demo
cratic in November.

Wo call attention to the aitlclo
which we copy from the Now York
World, showing the illegality of Fed
eral interference with the elections
in the States, and how emphatically
und unmistakably the Supreme
Court of the United States has pro
nounced such interference as Grant
and Taft are now conducting uncon
stitutional.
i > ♦
Republicans who are confident that
Mr. Hays will, if elected, go In for
reform within the party and assert
all the independence of character he
hasn’t got, will be interested in the
utterance of Mr. Morton: “Tbe men
to whom he owes his election, who
have defeuded him from assaults, to
whom ho must look for support in
the future, will, ordinarily, control
hts action, and he will do nothing
offensive to them.”
A Washington dispatch of the 20th
to the New York World says that an
additional assessment of 2 per oent.
for election purposes has been levied
upon the Department clerks; also,
that “lor the first time in the history
of these raids an assessment has been
made on the non-commissioned offi
cers and soldiers of the regular army,
who have been detailed in the War
Department for clerical duty. The
regular army is therefore not only to
be made to do its work in the field,
but to contribute out of the pay of its
file for the election purposes of the
Republican party. Accompanying
this assessment is a circular requir
ing those who have not fully paid
their former assessments to make up
their deficiency and respond to the
last demand.”
Manger or Lampblark.
Tnc Boston Commercial Bulletin
makes the following rather startling state
ment: Within two years there have been
three shoe shops lost in Massachusetts, so
tho records state, from lampblack. A
hand damp with perspiration, a drop of
water, a hit of grease, or a sprinkle of oil,
will create '.the combustion which will
start lampblack nglow like, charcoal, and
so ignite the package; and hence the blaze.
In lampblack factories, while great pre
caution is taken to prevent fires, a rainy
or a sharp frosty day may start a dampness
upon the inside of a window pane, nnd
the flying particles of dust lighting upon
this creates the spark, which commun
icating to the pile, sends a glow of fire
with wonderful rapidity through the
galleries of the shop. In cle&ulng up the
smoke galleries if the men let a drop of
perspiration fall into a pile they instantly
scoop up the black in and about where it
lodges and take it out of the heuse.
Jim Monroe, a colored Republican,
writes to tho Montgomery Advertiser
from Fitzpatrick’s Station, in refer
ence to tho pretended “nomination”
of William H. Betts for Congress in
the 3d District of Alabama. He says
that the ao-called “Convention”
which nominated Betts was com
posed of delegates from Bullock and
Lee counties and a proxy voting
for Barbour—that there were no del
egates from Russell, Henry, Dale,
Coffee or Geneva; and that neither
he nor anybody else whom he has
been able to see knew how the dele
gates from Bullock were appointed,
or by whom. He calls “the whole
thing one of the rottenest swindles
ever heard of,” and says that he and
"lots of his color” will sooner vote
for Mr. Williams than be tricked in
this way. Monroe also says that
Betts has not been heard from in ref
erence to the nomination, and can
not be found; and that he is told
that Betts has not been in the 3d
District two weeks in two years.
A RADICAL CALCULATION.
Pigurlng has been tho order of the
day among politicians of both sides
sinco the October elections. The
ease and unvarying certainty with
yrhioh each ono elects the candidate
of his choice would disgust us with
arithmetic if we could forget the
time-honored maxim that “figures
never lie.'' Tho maxim may prove
to be true even in this instance, and
still the result may show that the
politicians do lie most egregiousiy in
the Improper placing of the figures.
Ono would suppose that if the elec
tions in Ohio and Indiana could be re
garded as determiding the Presiden
tial votes of those States at all.it would
boadmittted that they indicated that
Ohio would go Republican, land In
dfana Democratic, November. Rut
wo find that all the Republican cal
culators now put down Ohio ns cer
tainly Republican and Indiana as—
doubtful! and this notwithstanding
the fact that Indiana, with only a
little over half the aggregate vote of
Ohio, gave a Democratic majority
about as large as Ohio’s Republioan,
at tho election hold the other day.
It is evident that u calculation ar
riving at the same result from a
majority of six thousand in one State
and a minority of six thousand in
another, is not very trustworthy.
Tho Washington Cnronicle, one of
the Administration home organs, has
made a “calculation,” and, follow
ing the rule prevalent with its party,
it claims Ohio as cortainly for Hayes,
and puts down Indiana as “doubt
ful.” But, with all this unfairness,
and after claiming Floridu and North
Carolina as certain for Hayes, it still
fulls short by one of claiming a ma
jority of the Electoral college. Wo
copy its calculation;

It is not necessary to enlargo upon
the hard-pressed situation of the Rad
cal party when It has to claim North
Carolina and Florida for Hayes, and
even then cannot figure out a major
ity of “States certain” for him. The
claim of those two States proves con
clusively that the Radicals count on
States in which their prospects are
as dark as a cloudy' and moonless
midnight, and when they cannot
show a majority even in this way, it
is evident that they are tottering on
tho brink of “the last ditch.”
COI NTIKU THU KLCTOHAI, VOTE.
We copy from the Cincinnati Ga
zelle' a statement showing that the Re
publican Senate of tho United States,
at its late session, took the ground
that there were no joint rules of the
two houses in force. This, too, is the
Democratic view, and it appears that
noaotlon which continued the rules
can be found in the proceedings of
Congress. This being the case, tho
opening and counting of the Electo
ral vote for President and Vice Presi
dent is left where tho Constitution
leaves it, that is, that the presiding
officer of the Senate shall open and
count the votes in the presence
of both houses of Congress. We have
no doubt that this is all the “rule”
on the subject that the framers of the
constitution contemplated. It makes
it tho duty of the President of the
Senate to open and declare all the
votes properly sent for that
purpose. The framers of the
constitution never contem
plated any such knavery as the send
ing of false returns of the votes, or
the votes of persons falsely repre
sented to have been chosen Electors.
They relied upon tho Integrity of
the State officials, and made it the
duty of Congress to recognize and
respect their authority. The ques
tion arises, is there any daDger that
the Governors of any States in tho
Union will betray their trust and
perjure themselves by making a false
return? We are vory suro that none
of them can be suspected of suoh a
thing except the four Radical Gov
ernors that are still in power in the
Southern States, and we hope that
eYon these men will not have the
effrontery, even if they have the
disposition, to attempt a swindle and
fraud of that kink.
Morns Rascality in Louisiana,— The
New Orleans Democrat of Monday re
ports as a “mysterious affair” an at
tempt to steal and carry away the
books and papers in the office of the
State Superintendent of Registra
tion. The office wus broken into,
and, according to common report,
the police, detecting the attempted
theft, had a conflict with tbe intru
ders, in which two of tho police were
badly beaten, but which ended in the
arrest of Miles Sharkey and Joseph
McMahon as “accessories to a bur
glary and robbery.” The Democrat
says: “There is little doubt that this
robbery was aßadlcaljobputupwith
a view of charging it upon the Demo
crats. However, it was entirely too
thin. Had it been successful, and
the books and papers of the registra
tion office made way with, the result
would likely have been the virtual
nullifying of tho election in Orleans,
the largest Democratic parish in the
State—a result in accomplishing
which the Radicals have a very deep
concern, and which the interests of
the Democrats required to be pre
vented.”
Cnukiac Figure*.
Albany Argus.l
In 1856-57-58-59 and 1860, five years,
the disbursements of the War De
partment were $101,348,944. For the
years 1872-73-74-75 and 1876, five years,
under Belknap, the disbursements
have been $203,100,757, more than
double the amount of expenses in
curred for the support of the army
for five years before the war.
HR. IIVUi ON OUI <<>;\4;Ul*Slo\AL
KMSirrxox.
It is the general impression that
Mr. Hill, by his forcible presentation
of the necessity of securing a Demo
cratic majority in the next House of
Representatives, and to mako this
assurance doubly sure, the need of
an undivided Democratic delegation
from Georgia, did more than any
other effort of tho canvass to prevent
a diversion of any part of the Demo
cratic vote to Mr. Hilliard. He did
this without tho slightest imputa
tion upon Mr. Hilliard’s qualifica
tions, bis conduct, or his motives.
Not a word of disrespect or dispar
agement did ho utter. But he plainly
showed the Democratic party that
oven with the President they could
do little in tho way of reform or cor
rection without control of tho House;
and if they lost the House as well os
the President and theSenote, they
would have no check whatever upon
Radioal aggression, extravagance and
corruption. He contended that with a
nearly “solid" South the Democrats
would be sure to have a majority in
tho House—that they could more
certainly secure such a majority
than they could elect tho President.
But he argued withi rresistible force
that they could not afford to risk the
loss of the House by the loss of a
single Congressional District in the
South. They could not afford to en
trust so important a matter to the
course of any Representative of
doubtful political associations or di
vided party obligations. They need
ed Democrats, elected ns such, and in
close affiliation with the only party
that can save the country from mis
rule and plunder and the constitu
tion and rights of tho people from
further violence. It was an appeal
that went home to the judgment and
patriotism of men and convinced
them that in a crisis like this they
must avail themselves of every op
portunity to defeat Radical legisla
tion, and to do this they must be
“solid” for pronounced Democratic
Congressmen as well as for the Dem
ocratic Presidential ticket.
THE COLOR OF THE VOTE, NOT OF
THE iKJN 7
■■■■
New York World, 20th,)
If there were no negroes in South
Carolina, and if the voters were all
white men, does any one think the
Administration at Washington would
pay any regard to the application of
its executive, or order troops into
mat State? If it were the Governor
of California or Maine who applied
at Washington, would not Grant say
that each State must manage its own
police affairs, und that he would not
assume au “insurrection,” excepting
upon a quantity and quality of evi
dence not to be questioned, and
which demonstrated beyond doubt
that the officers of the law, resolutely
ondeavoring to arrest the criminals,
were powerless?
What difference can the color of
the voter’s skin make in the legal
authority of tho United States in
South Carolina?
None, unless under the fifteenth
amendment, wliieh only declares
that the right to vote shall not be de
nied or abridged, by auy State, on
account of “raee, color or previous
condition of servitude.”
The Supreme Court has said this
amendment "cannot confer the right
of suffrage upon any one,” but only
authororized Congress to guarantee
its exercise whenever it teas denied or
abridged on account of “race, color,"
etc.
Before this amendment New York
couldexclude a citizen from voting
on account of his color, just as on
account of age or sex or crime. But
not now. If a negro is excluded be
cause pigeon-toed, every one else
must bo thus excluded.
The Supreme Court think said in
tbe case of Reese:
“It has not been contended, nor
can it be. that the amendment con
fers authority to impose penalties
for every wrongful refusal to receive
the vote of a qualified elector at State
elections. It is only when the
wrongful refusal at such an elec
tion is because of race, color
or previous condition of servitude
that Congress can interfere and pro
vide for its punishment.”
What is true of Congress is equal
true of the President.
In tho Slaughter-House cases the
Supreme Court said that none of the
negro amendments gave to the Fed
eral Government authority over the
“domain of civil rights heretofore
belonging exclusively to the States.”
They only were intended to stamp out
laws in any State which discrimina
ted against African citizens as a class.
TheCourtsay: “We doubt very much
whether any action of a State not
directed by way of discrimination
against the negroes as a class, or on
account of their raee, will ever be
held to come within the purview of
this provision.” In other opinions
the Court declare that, excepting as
to race, color, and citizenship, the
police powers of the States, and their
control over voting, is what it always
was, and neither more nor less.
Now, nobody pretends that South
Carolina denies or abridged to ne
groes the right of voting, on account
of color, or race, or former servitude.
Therefore not Congress, nor the Pres
ident, can on that account get inside
that State with troops.
What, then, is the pretense ? That
there is an “insurrection.” Against
whom or what? The “State.”
Where or how? By white men. or
ganized in rifle or sabre clubs, and
who, to use the felicitous language of
Grant, “ride up and down by night
and day” intimidating voters by va
rious reprehensible and intolerable
methods. Do these intimidators re
sist process of courts ? Never. How,
then, is it insurrection against a
"State ?”
This is the pretense. What is the
fact ? The black population of South
Carolina is in a tremendous majority.
State officials and all Federal officials
are Republicans. The white Demo
crats have been in a sad minority. The
negroes have been taught that if they
do not vote the Republican ticket
Grant can and will remand them to
servitude. In this election the ne
groes are in large numbers uphold
ing Hampton and Democracv. If a
negro proposes to vote the Republi
can ticket, he is approved and ap
plauded by his own race and the Fed
eral officials, but if he prefers the
Democratic ticket, the same persons
“intimidate” him.
This is on account of tho color of
his vote and not of his skin. If a ne
gro be driven away from the polls
because holding a Republican vote,
and welcomed when he brings a Dem
ocratic vote, his voting free-will has
been denied or abridged, noton ac
count of “race, color or previous con
dition of servitude,” but on account
of his politics. Has Grant or the Na
tional Government anything to do
with that? The negroes are “intimi
dated'’ by one another in South Car-
olina, but not beoauso they are of Af
rican descent, but beoauso the intim
idators dislike their politicalf'purpos
es and propensities, and to ohauge
the latter Grant orders tho army into
the Strite.
If the people of New York do not
rebuke this monstrous act, they do
not deserve a country!
How About New York?
The Now York Herald reaches the
conclusion that New York’s electoral vote
will decide the Presidential contest. The
Republicans will have a majority in the
country, it thinks, the Democrats in the
city, o bits generally been the cast. Will
the majority in the city be sufficient to
overcome that in the country? "All Mr.
Tilden’s chances according to our estimate,
are staked upon this possibility. With
harmony restored in the city Democracy,
and with a local ticket iu nopiination
which will consolidate the party and call
out a full local vote, we should say that
Mr. Tilden’s chances are better than those
of Mr. Hayes. A divided Democracy in
tlie city, with one side in coalition with
the Republicans, would so cripplo the
former party and so reduce its vote as to
give Mr. Hayes the advantage." The in
dications at present arc favorable to a
union of the factions.
The Independent Vote.
Albany Argus.)
The results of the elections show
that the Independent vote of the
country naturally gravieatea to the
Democratic party. There was a good
deal of that kind of voting in 1874,
and the following table shows its
strength (the vote of California was
in 1875):
Dcm. Tnd. Rep.
California 61,50# 39.752 31,323
Illinois 136,705 74.602 162.441
Indiana 182,154 18,530 164,903
Massachusetts 87,138 9,807 89,344
Michigan 105,560 8,987 111.619
New Hampshire.... 85.608 2,141 34,143
Orogott 9,713 6,532 9,163
Pennsylvania 227,297 34,491 242,436
Rhode Island S,ICG 8,721 8,368
Totals. 890,810 186,510 858,638
These are all Republican States.
The Independent vote oan defeat that
party in each of them, and promises
to do so.
Jane Grey Swisshelm writes from
Leipzig: “The double floors, which
are universal here, ought to be so
with us, for the space between is
filled with ashes; so, with thick par
tition walls, it is next to impossible
to burn a house down. I am told
they have no fire engines to Germa
ny, and do pot fight fire with water,
but with ashes, day, sand, old mats
and axes. There has not been a fire
afarm in Leipzig since we came to
it, which was the 27th of last April - ”
