The Augusta Chronicle dwell says:
It la easy to understand why the
Louisiana Radicals have Invited
Benjamin F. Butler to be present, at
the counting of the votes. It is well
known that he is hated more intense
ly in New Orleans than in any other
Southern city. It was thore that he
issued his infamous order that United
States soldiers should treat the ladies
of the city os "women of the town
plying their vocation.” Tho Radi
cals hope that his presence there will
occasion an outbreak from which
they may gain some advantage.
A special from New Orleans, 14th,
to the Nashville American says that
the Northern Democrats thero are
firm in their determination to reach
the bottom facts. It says that Tllden
has undoubtedly carried the State,
but adds: “Nevertheless, the general
belief is that the Returning Board
will give the vote to Hayes. That
Board consists of Wells, a Federal
office-holder, and Anderson, a candi
date—both disqualified —and two
negroes. If Wells and Anderson are
ruled out, the two negroes have pow
er to fill tho vacancies. One of the
negroes is keeper of a bawdy-house,
and the other an undertaker and
gambler.”
PICTORIAL.
For a contest yet undecided, the
late Presidential election has been
very profusely illustrated with picto
rial emblems of triumph. Every
newspaper office that could furnish a
crowing coqk. or a national flag, cr
an American eagle, or a cut of Tilden
and Hendricks, or Hayes and Wheel
er as the case may be, bus sported
them on the occasion; and those pa
pers unfortunately left without such
cuts in the great emergency have
contented themselves with the phi
losophy of the fox without a tail. A
display of a little enthusiasm on
such an occasion Is pardonable, and
we hope not offensive to the public
taste. But we do think that some
of our cotemporaries have slightly
overdone the thing. The Nashville
American and the Montgomery Ad
vertiser stretch their lines of roosters
across every column of two pages;
the Cincinnati Enquirer sports some
very gamo looking birds, but fower
in number; but the Atlanta Comitu
tion forms a combination bf roosters,
flags, eagles, &c., covering about
half a page; and tho Mont
gomery Journal (Radical) eclipses
them all by filling a
whole page with spread eagles, &c.
“Young America” of the press is
certainly on the rampage in its party
glorification, and in the prolonged
suspense it has had to subject its
pictorial emblems to such hard
service that they may well, at the
close of the contest, be “like bruised
arms, hung up for monuments” of
tho closest and most exciting Presi
dential election of our day..

primary meetings on Saturday previous

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
i Our dispatches of yesterday report
that the Radicals of both Louisiana
and Florida now concede Democratic
majorities in the votes cast In those
States, but claim that they can have
a sufficient number of Democratic
votes throwi out to change the
result. This is a showing of the
cards which they hold concealed
from the start, and on the strength
ofwhloh they raised tho squabble
about the votes of their States.
They know as well three or four
days ago, as they know now, that
the Democrats had tho majority, but
they wanted to get well under the
protection of the Federal military
before they avowed their purpose
to thrpw out a portion of the Demo
cratic vote.
We caution our reuders not to ac
cept these admissions of a Demo
cratic majority as any proof that the
trouble is over. It Is only the develop
ment of a contingency contemplated
from the start. It Is tho reaching of
one the progressive crises which this
controversy involves. It only proves
that tho first dlscomilturo does not
dotor tho Radicals, or change their
purpose. They have not quailed be
fore tho first reverse, but have only
retired to their second line, where
they will be supported by State au
thority and Federal power.
If there is any man who still be
lieves that it was not from the start
the Intention to fall back upon this
position after a defeat before the peo
ple—any mun who believes that the
army of.the United States was sent
to New Orleaus and Tallahassee in
view of any other contingency than
this—any man who believes that
Kellogg and Stearns had not before
the election, formed a conspiracy
with officials ut Washington to count
out Democratic votes and thus give
Louisaua and Florida to Hayes—that
man may still have hope that the re
turning boards will act fairly and
pronounce in favor of the Electors
chosen by the people. But as we do
not share in such credulity, we regard
the situation as one still full of peril
and uncertainty.
THE IKELI4IIBI.K ELECTOR*.
A day or two ago it was announced
that one of the Hayes Electors in
Vermont was disqualified because
ho was a postmaster at the time of
his election; and now we aro told
that another Republican Elector in
Oregon is in the samo fix; also that
two or three of the Centennial offi
cers have beep chosen Electors. The
constitutional provision is that “no
person holding an office of trust or
profit under the United States shall
bean Elector.” As this constitutional
prohibition certainly applies to post
masters, it is at least very question
able whether any steps now taken
can properly save the Electoral votes
to Hayes. It is true that the Consti
tution of the United States leaves to
each State the mode of appointment
of Its Eleotors, and that Vermont
and other States have made provision
by law for the filling of vacancies in
the Electoral Colleges. But could a
vnoancy be caused by the resignation
of an ineligible Elector ? Would he
have any position to resign if ho was
not legally elected ? Common sense
says no, and tho Radical party, in its
Reconstruction legislation for the
South, pronounced tho election of
disqualified persons utterly void
and tho votes cast for them
as thrown away—giving the elec
tion to the highest qualified
candidate. Such a rule applied
to the Vermont and Oregon postmas
ters who have been chosen Electors
would give Tilden one Elector from
oaoh of those States, and at once set
tle the dispute as to the Presidential
election. But what was sauce for
the Southern Democratic goose will
not bo bold to be sauce for the North
ern Radical gander in this case. The
Radicals, as we infer from the resig
nation of the Oregon postmaster, will
tako the ground that the Eleotors
chosen can yet qualify themselves by
resigning their “offices of trust or
profit under the United States.” They
will hold that a man does not become
an Elector until ho acts as such, or
at least until his election is proclaim
ed by the Governor of his State;
therefore there were no votes thrown
away for an ineligible candidate, and
there need be no vacanoy la the Elec
toral College. We believe that they
have some precedents for this—not
in tho case of Electors, but in tho
cases of persons elected to State
offices who had to resign other po
sitions before they could quali
fy. Wo think, however, that the
spirit of tho Constitution will
hrt violtthtovl k>y t-hio quaUtiocvtiou
after election. Clearly tho ob
ject of the constitutional prohibi
bition was to prevent Federal office
holders from takingpart in State eleo
tionsand from bringing the patronage
and influence of tho Federal Govern
ment to bear in just such a manner
as it was brought to bear in the late
oonilict. The constitution did not in
tend that post-masters should be can
didates for tho position of Elector. It
is certainly less harmful for them to
vote as Electors than canvass as can
didates for the position.
Wo wonld, under ordinary circum
stances, think it improper for any
Presidontal candidate or his friends
to claim hie election on the grouud
of the legal disqualification of one or
two of the Electors of his rival, if the
latter had a majority. But the Rad
ical party is the one which in this
contest is striving to dofeat the
choice of tho people, anti the Demo
crats to give effect to the popular
choice. They are justified, under the
circumstances, in insisting on all
their legal rights, and if Hayes has
constitutionally lo3t two or more
Electoral votes by reason of disqual
ification, steps ought to be taken to
have the question judicially deter
mined.
THE CRISIS.
THE PIiOFLE WILL HE EQUAL TO THE
EMERGENCY.
FbUadelpkl* Time*. (lud.) lltli.
We believe that Samuel J. Tilden
is honestly and lawfully chosen Pres
ident of the United States. His largo
majority of the whole popular vote
is admitted, but that can give him no
rightful claim to the high office un
less the Electoral College shall fairly
elect him. If it shall, In faithful
obedience to the laws, elect Buthor
ford B. Hayes, thore are none who
will refuse the moat cordial acquies
cence; hut the country Is not in tem
per to huve tho positive expression of
the popular will overthrown in the
Electoral College by such hands as
have enthroned the Kelloggs and
Spenoers and Pattersons of tho
South. They may be submitted to
in order to save the fountain
of free government, but should they
pour the deadly poison into a Presi
dential contest and subvert the sol
emn judgment of the Republic, they
would at once plunge the noblest gov
ernment of the earth into an
ohy more hopeless and ten-fold
more terrible than that, of Mexico. It
is a truth that none should misun
derstand, that if Samuel J. Tilden
has been honestly chosen President
of the United States, there will be no
government to administer in this
land, after the 4th of March next, un
til ho administers it; and it would be
but the feeblest Imitation of the rev
olutionary pretenders of the tem
pest-tossed South American mocker
ies of civil authority, to attempt the
Inauguration of Rutherford B. Hayes
against the deliberate judgment of
the people that his commission
is tile creation of fraud. It is
these pregnant truths which will
unite the demand of upright men of
all parties to protest against the ma
nipulation of returns in Louisiana,
South Carolina and Florida, and
which will compel the Chandlers uud
like political desperadoes to swing to
the rear until the peril they have
mfffily invoked has been averted by
the patriotism of the whole people of
tho country. Wo hope and believe
that right will come.out triumphant
in the end, not because there are not
enough of leaders who would gladly
overthrow it, but because the whole
business interests of the country will
strengthen the earnest aspirations of
every loyal citizen that government
of tho people, by the people and for
the peoplo shall not perish from tho
earth.
The Kcturiilnw Hoard Prowraunite.
From the N. O. Democrat, 14.)
The Democrats and Conservatives
have carried this State by a majority
of 7,915 votes. The election was fair
and peaoeable, and in no free State
would the result be questioned for a
moment. The desi>orate and unscru
pulous men, however, who control
the Radical party and hold the extra
ordinary machinery of the Louisiana
State government, do not intend that
this result shall be accepted, and pro
pose to reverse the decision through
the medium of what they term a Re
turning Board. Their plan is,through
that board, to throw out the votes of
the following parishes, which gavo
majorities stated for Tilden and
Hendricks:
Majority
for Tilden
East Feliciana 1743
West Feliciana 465
Ouachita 1074
Morehouse 623
East Baton Rouge 660
Lincoln 755
Claiborne 1147
Union 1429
Do Koto 415
Total 6341
The grounds upon which it is pro
posed to throw out tho votes of these
parishes are not clearly stated, and
we are left entirely to conjecture.
The East Feliciana majority is to be
annulled, we presume, because the
Radicals, finding that the parish was
going against them, refrained from
voting with the purpose of swearing
that they were prevented from doing
so. The West Feliciana majority
will be reversed beoause Mr. Thos. C.
West, the Democratic candidate for
Sheriff of tho parish, was foully mur
dered by assassins hired by Radical
leaders to do the job, and because a
few nights before the election an at
tempt was made to assassinate Gov.
Wickllffe, Democratic candidate for
elector, and Chas. Fischer, Esq,, a
prominent lawyer and Demoorat in
the same parish. Ouachita will
be excluded from the oount be
cause the colored voters, dis
gusted with the Radical officials
and desiring the restoration of honest
and efficient government in their
parish, voted tno Democratic ticket
in large numbers and carried the
parish against the rogues who have
dominated it for years. Morehouse
will be disfranchised if the villainous
scheme can be carried out, because
several leading Democrats were
murdered during tho canvass, and
the parish kept in turmoil by rowdy
bands of Radical negroes, incited by
the white men of their party. East
Baton Rouge is to be disfranchised
because too many colored people
joined the Democratic party and
voted for Nicholls and Wiltz. Lin
coln will be thrown out, because it
gave a majority for Tilden. Clai
borne, because it has given an un
pleasantly largo Democratic majori
ty. Union is condemned, becauso it
has nearly doubled its Democratic
majority of 1874, and, finally, DeSoto,
because it is a Democratic parish.
Mu. Peter Cooper’s Views.— Mr.
Peter Cooper was prostrated by a
sudden attftek of his old complaint
late Thursday night, but was better
yesterday. Havinsr no hopo of his
own election, Mr. Cooper is very
anxious about tno result between
Tilden and Hayes, and does not hesi
tate to express his hopes that the
former will be duly inaugurated
President. Speaking of President
Grant’s proclamation, Mr. Cooper
said yesterday. “The election itself
passed so quietly that I hoped the
returns would be made without dis
turbance. I supposed they had
enough troops already In Florida and
Louisiana to keep the peace and pro
tect the Returning Boards. We have
not heard of any riots yet, and I
think tho sending of more troops
would tend to exeito one.— N. Y.
World, I‘ilh.
Zack Chandler’s Threat.—Secreta
ry Z. Chandler said, just before he
left the city Thursday afternoon:
“I’ve got one man already down
South, and the Democrats will need
a d—d fast train to get the inside
track of him. I don’t propose to be
euchred iu this matter, and Hayes
has got to be the next President,
whether he’s elected or not.” These
were the words of the Republican
Chairman as reported by General
James McQuade, who, with several
other gentlemen, overheard them
when uttered.—W. Y. World.
Compliment to an old Lady.—Sa
leazo de Perada praising an old lady
for her beauty, she answered that
beautv was incompatible with her
age. To which Salezzo replied: “We
say as beautlfnl as an angel, and
yet the angels are of all creatures,
the most ancient.”
