THE DAILY TIMES. JOHN 11. MARTIN, • . - ERltw. Cnluißl'H*. <Mw A. WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER IS. I*7 —— LARGEST CIRCULATION I. Ik> C utlM A4|..m, l* fct Cln*b. Tax Louisville Courier-Journal says the trouble in Florida with Republi can# Is that tbe Democrats have been kicking their Stearns. It is stated that Mr. Stoughton, whom Grant has requested to go to New Orleans, is the only lawyor in New York olty who defended as con stitutional and legal tbe proceedings by which Grant and Sheridan over threw the people’s government of Louisiana in 1874. He Is one of Grant’s "fair and candid men.’’ The Indianapolis Journal, Radical paper, says that the President has asked iiesars. Garfleld, Logan and others to “go to New Orleans on be half of the Republican party." And yet the New York Herald and othor papers are deceived by his fair words into the belief that he has sent them to have an impartial and honest count, and has sent the army only for the same patriotic purpose! Con. Acklen, the Democratic can didate for Congress in the 3d District of Louisiana, will contest the elec tion of Darral, Republican. He will show, among other things, that a large number of negroes in Bt. Mary parish, who wished to vote the Dem ocratic ticket, were prevented from doing so by Radical intimidation. Radical strikers took away and tore up their Democratic tickets aud forced them to vote for Darral and Hayes. _ — : The St. Louis Republican says that uot only Is Texas the most promising State in the Union as a locality for the production of cattle, sheep and bogs, but R3 a wheat State it may justly take rank as the banner State of the Union, not even excepting Cal ifornia. Thirteen counties last year produced 10,000,000 bushels, and the quality Is superior, Texas wheat is more dense than wheat raised in Mis souri. No. 1 weighs sixty-five pounds per bushel, No. 2 sixty-four, and No. 3 sixty-one pounds. No. 1 Missouri wheat weighs but sixty pounds to the bushel. —— Ghant’s selection of Logan and Garfield as “candid” men to go to New Orleans to see to the counting of the vote of that State, was bad enough. Rut the appointment of Judge Cart tor, of the District of Co lumbia, exoels them all in its parti san ebarheter. Judge Cart ter has long been known as a ready co-opera tor with the Radical party in its un scrupulous work, and has made him self somewhat notorious by his judi cial action to hinder Investigation and exposure of Radical corruptions. Kellogg, Packard & Cos. will find him a ready man at New Orleans. A dispatch from New York an nounces that Judge Westbrook, on Monday, granted Beecher’s motton for a change of venue in the case of Moulton against him, from Brooklyn to Delaware county. Mr. Moulton thereupon discontinued his suit. The suit was for malicious prosecution by Beecher in the former libel suit, and the damage claimed $50,000. Beecher plead that he oould not get justice in Brooklyn on account of adverse and prejudicial public sentiment, and therefore he asked the change of venue. Moulton’s counsel resisted the motion on the ground of the in creased expense of taking so many witnessed, &c., to Delaware county. This first receipt of new Louisiana sugar at New Orleans this year was on the sth inst„ from the parish of St. Martin. It classed strictly fair, and soid at.iogc,, which is l|c. higher than that obtained for the first hogs head of last year. The limes says: "The yield, as tar a3 learned, is sat isfactory in every section; old stub ble giving a hogshead and a half to the arpent on the coast, which is ah unusually good turn out at the be ginning. The prospect is, from pres ent indications, remarkably fine, not only for a good yield, but for good quality, good price, and economy in raking off the crop. The increase of at least a cent per pound in the price is very encouraging to the planter. The yield of molasses will not be so great, but the quality will bo better than usual.” Ami (Samuel arose and went to EU and said: Here I urn, lor thou didst call me. And he (Eli) answered, 1 called not, my son; lfe down attain.--'l.Saro.tii, 6 .-.iionl gomery Journal Ell, though doubtless a much better man thau his imitators of the present day, had constituted himself a sort of returning board to prevent Samuel’s promotiou. He knew that the Lord had threatened to visit his house with wrath on account of the iniquity of some of his family, and he dreaded a pure succession. He told Samuel that he had not been called, os quoted by the Journal. But we find the sequel In the Bth verse of the same chapter. "And Ibo Lord called Samuel agaiu the third time. And he arose and went to EH, and said Here am I; for thon didst call me. And EU perceived that the Lord had called the child." If the Journal will read a little further, it will see that the first reve lation which the Lord made to Sam uel, His newly chosen prophet, was that He would forevet banish Eli and his house for their iniquities. The promotion of Samuel was followed by the downfall and punishment of the house of Eli; and thus was veri fied the prophecy of Hannah, the mother of Samuel, when she sang at his birth; “The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are gird ed with strength. They that vxtrr full liave hired themsclve out for bread, and they that were hungry ceased,” 18am, 11, 4, 5. THE POLITICAL SITUATION. We regard the telegraphic news of yesterday as encouraging and hope ful. The Democrats of Louisiana appear to have ascertained beyond all doubt, and from foil returns, that they have a,majority of over 8,000 for Tllden, and near 9,000 fof Nioholls, according to the votes received by the supervisors. Then the reported Radical proposition in South Caroli na, to "count” the vote of that State for Hampton and Hayes, is a virtual admission of defeat in both the Gu bernatorial and Presidential election, for we know full well that the Re publicans of South Carolina, backed by both the State and tbe Federal Government, would not surrender anything which they could claim with any show of reason. In addi tion to this, the ready acquiescence of tbe Democrats of New Orleans in the supervision of the count by men of all parties from all sections of the Union, shows their earnest confi dence and assurance that their cause will bear the closest scrutiny. But, though we dow have a better aesuranoe that the triumph of the Democratic party will be clearly shown, we should not delude our selves with the belief that the Re publican party will give up its hold on power without having first ex hausted all its resources to retain It. A defeat now is a death-blow to the Republican party of the United States. In our old political contests between the Whig and Democratic parties, each, when defeated la a Presidential eleotion, gave way grace fully and hopefully, knowing that it would have a goed chance again with in four years. But no such hope can cheer the Radical party In defeat. Before the next Presidential elec tion the investigations by a Demo cratic Congress and Executive Ad ministration will unearth all the corruption a.id profligacy now covered up by Republican officials. Before that time, too, the sectional animosities springing out of the war will have died out for the want of fuel, aud by the’negroes of the South becoming practically convinced that they had nothing to fear from a Dem ocratic administration. Radicalism will be exposed and disgraced, aDd deprived of the power to arouse pas sions which now constitute its only cohesive bond. Thus the party, if defeated now, will bo utterly de moralized and hrokeu up. It is therefore making now its light for continued existence, and we may ex pect it to bo desperate and unscru pulous. THK lAllltim I'ONSPIKAC*. The New Orleans Democrat be lieves, os we do, that a conspiracy to give the vote of Louisiana fraudu lently and by force to Hayes has been concocted, and that the Presi dent is a Confederate with Kellogg, Packard,Wells, et als.,in this scheme. In its issue of Monday evening, it; thus speaks of the situation in New Orleans and the apparent purpose of the conspirators: At this moment the United States Custom House is filled with United States soldiers, and larger bodies of troops set in motion by Grant’s order, are converging upon this city, as If it were a hostile capital or an insur gent town. And with what purpose? The President declares that his obi ject is to preserve the public peace; and to assure a fair count of the half lots cast at the election. As far as peace is concerned, there is no more reason to send troops to Louisiana than tosend troops to Vermont. There has been no violence, no disorder j and it is only in case of insurrection which the State government cannot subdue, or of invasion which the State government cannot repel, that the law authorizes the President on the requisition of the Governor, when the Legislature cannot be com vened, to use the Federal army witbiii the limits of a State. But apart from this bold and flagrant violation of law, and admitting the President’s right to take military possession of a State capital during, the oa&Yass of the election returns, we have a right to inquire, not only what his avowed intentions may be, but what his past conduct and his known opinions jus tify in expecting at his hands. H> says that he intends to assure a fai: count of ballots actually oast. But who made him a returning officer who gave him a right to dictate as t > the methods and processes of a Stat s canvass? Soldi are are not countln ; machines. Sheridan and Augur are not arithmeticians and commission ers of election. The results ofths vote in Louisiana are as definitely ascertained and as notoriously pul: - lie as the results of the election ip Vermont or Kentucky. The ballot arc already couu ted just as they bavp been counted in Massachusetts or Indiana, and the authority for the claim that Louisiana has voted far Tilden is precisely the same as the authority for the report that lowa and Rhode Island have voted fcfr Hayes. All that remains to be done is for the board of “Returning Offi ce ra,” so called, to compile the re turns and announce the Docs any sane man believe that Grant intends to compel the "Re turning Officers” to act fairly and honestly in the discharge or this duty ? Does any sano man believe that if the returning officers resolve to violate and nullify the vote of the State, Grant's soldiers will interfere to prevent the perpetration of the outrage and the consummation of the fraud? On the contrary, does not every sane man know that tho' soldiers are to be uosd to proteot the "Returning Officers"ip thC'perpetra tion of the outrage and the consum mation of the fraud ? Except fpr this purpose there is absolutely no use for soldiers in Louisiana. MOUTH CAROLINA. - ■ A Compromise Proposed whirl! Admits Detent.

Frotu ut iat>UV'fiNAS4il4ij4ut.] U, 1878. Soon tbe focus of interest will be the National Capital. The Centen nial Exposition has closed; the re sult of the election is known. In three weeks Congress will assemble and Washington will be alive with a busy legislative and political life; alive with the statesmen, politicians, fashion, and the demimonde; alive with social gayety—though there will be less of this than there has been for the last eight years. The present administration with its loud characterless cabinet, and retinue of shoddy worshippers, is “in the sere and yellow leaf.” They are one and all desperately sick. The ides of March! The political and sooial life of Washington are intimately inter woven, and, while the cabinet ladies and those of the Bureaucracy will make a desperate effort to go off with a flourish of colors, music, and the glitter that characterized the halcyon days of Williams and Belknap, it will be dismally laborious to appear gay at their own funeral. On the fourth of March they must turn their faces from tbe marble halls and asphalt streets of Washington, and read their doom in the face of the bronze goddess on tho dome of the capitol. The great Michigander, re- Downed Zach Chandler, cabinet cam paign leader, and matchless organ izer; Att’y Gen’l father Taft, distin guished for a short but sweet career; and P. M. Gen. Tyner, distinguish ed for nothing, will make up an Interesting little procession towards the setting sun. Don Cameron, who carves with the sword of his father; Morrill, of Maine, demagogical Min ister of Finance in tho interests Of politics; Robeson, of the Navy, and Fish, of Foreign Affairs, will deploy towards the North and East, or, as Cmsar would say, ail septriones et ori mtuin. Gen. Grant, it is said, will perlgrlnate the world after the fourth of March. As for the lesser lights and parasites they are the etc., ect., in an auction list,too numerous to mention. Among the Democratic oriflammes of the recent campaign new brooms figured conspicuously; they symbol ized a desire for a more thorough re form than could be hojwd for within the Republican party; a change, a clean sweep ;uothing short of this and fumigation will purify our civil ser vice. The whole thing is infected, it must be reformed altogether. This will cause much local distress, but the surgery, though painful to indi viduals, is kind and necessary for the health of the nation. If a nation’s right eye offends it, pluck it out. The iUatreas will be lnflnitesmal compared with that which the whole country has suffered from the ruinous, waste ful misgovernment that these people have helped to create and uphold. After the fourth of March there will be a general emigration from Wash ington. Many clerks have proprie tary interests here, others have bought property for which they have ouly partly paid. It is safe to say that they cannot now sell for much more than half they gave. Some will be able to rent or sell to those who come in with the new Administra tion, but the latter will not pay high prices: they have not been educated in the flush and shoddy school of the present regime. They have been ac customed to pay for their own furni ture, stationery and postage stamps; in short they are not used to travel ing in the Government landaulet, and they will not, cannot, give for rents and board as much as the dainty clerk and olerkess of the present Administration. Then it is helieved that the clerical force will be still farther reduced. Mr. Ran dall and the Democrats were thwart ed last winter in their efforts to lop off superfluous members, but the Re publicans will no longer oppose, since their personal and political friends are no longer involved. The path for Democratic economy will be smooth, and this great, cum brous, corrupt, civil force will be re duced until the clerks will have elbow room to work in, and each one of them something to do. In deed the reduction is a political as well as an economical necessity. The probable ousting every four years of 90,000 office holders, with half a million souls directly or indi rectly dependent upon them, is a strain and shock to which the coun try can no longer be safely subjected. At any rate the present clerical force will go. If it will take my advice it will go South and grow up with the country. In Georgia they would have the privelege of voting for Alex. Stephens and Ben. Hill, or in Louisi ana they might see how the Missis sippi fiver and the Gulf of Mexico are not tinged with the blood of murdered negroes, nor the cross roads adorned with genuine bloody shirts and death’s heads. The closing session of the 44th Congress promises to be one of un usual interest; it is not improbable that it may have to decide the result of the election, and a bill will doubt less be introduced to decide elections in the future by the popular vote and thus relieve the country from such anxiety and confusion as that to which it is at present subjected. Mr. Blaine has bid adieu to the House over which he so long pre sided as chairman, and which, when he decended to the floor, he almost succeeded iu converting into a bear pit, "There will De no one left in Itbica to bend his bow,” for Mr. Butler will not appear until the first session of the 45th Congress. From present indications Mr. Blaine’s Sen atorial glory will be ephemeral. Ex- Senator Morrill, of Maine, wants the l ™~—T : j>laoe bank again, and his popularity and influence in his native State is second to that of no man. In tbe Senate, If I may predict, Mr. Blaine will not shine. To speak .vulgarly, the Senate is not his style. It is a wise, dignified, deliberate body, prefering argument to the Impudence of asser tion, and meeting the libels of malice with the truth of history. To say nothing of Thurman, Bayard and Ben. Hill (who will probably be the successor of Norwood, of Georgia)* he will be met there by that alert compendium of stubborn statistics, Senator Beck of Kentucky. On the Republican side he will be eclipsed by the much better man, abler and more brilliant Senator, between whom and him there has subsisted a bitter feud since the time that Jumes G. Blaine called Roscoe Conk ling a turkey cock. The coming winter will doubtless be one of great activity and excite ment at this political and social hub. The accomplished administrative resolution, and recent Centennial travel through this city, havejoreated an Interest in the National Capital which we always feel.in the institu tions that we have,seen or studied either to admire or disapprove. Many journalists have already re turned, alert and ready for tho work of supplying the demand for news, and your correspondent will feel, as he endeavors to hold up the mirror to ever charging political and social phases, that, to many, he will not be describing “airy nothings without a local habitation and a name.” C. A. S. THE CALIFORNIA FRAI DM. Thousands ot Illecal Votes. luve.tlitHtlon nnd Orcul Eirtlrmrat. By telegraph to the Chicago Time*.) Ban Fhancisco, Nov. 11.—The Board of Supervisors has ordered its Finance Committee to thoroughly investigate tho city elections. It is charged that 1,000 Republicans were illegally reg istered; also, that several hundred were colonized from the adjoining Congressional district, which is large ly Republican. Davis, Republican, is claimed to have been elected by 2,- 500 owing to these frauds. It is possi ble that Piper was re-elected. The Re publicans claim tiie State by 900. It is possible that this investigation may change the result sufficiently to give it to tho Democrats. Never before in the history of California was so much interest manifested. The above action by the Board of Supervis ors increases the excitement, and centers it more on local affairs. Bu siness is practically suspended, the streets are thronged with a sea of up turned faces, scanning the conflicting telegrams on the bulletin boards of the newspaper offices. The investi gation was prompted by the unusu ally large vote; the heaviest hereto fore polled was 28,000; last Tuesday 42,500 voted; registration list closed October 9th—since that time between 17,000 and 19,000 certificates of regis tration have been issued. It is charg ed that a large number of certificates signed in blank were stolen from the register’s office, and that at least 3,- 000 persona obtained certificates by false swearing. In one precinct It is shown by certificates that 50 persons voted, claiming residence in a house where only fonr people lived. In an other 150 voted where not over 21 lived. A meeting was held at the Mayor’s office, Mayor Bryant presid ing, to adopt measures to investigate. Geo. C. Gorman, Secretary of the Sen ate, and United States District Attor ney Coughlin, Republicans, appear ed as advisers for the County Clerk. A thorough canvass of these certifi cates will be made by precincts, to see if the parties voting thereon re sided there. It will occupy several weeks. The certificates, papers, etc., were locked up in the vaults of the clerk’s office, guarded by tbe U. S. Marshal and a member of the Board of Supervisors.- Announcements For City Sexton.
