Thk Methodist preachers of Balti

and discussed the propriety of nb
srainlng from the use of tobacco.
Ik the city election In Chatta
nooga, Thursday, the Republicans
elected their candidate for Mayor,
Marshal and six Aldermen.
■'' I ♦
Work in Fannin county on the
Marietta and Murphy Railroad is
progressing finely. The line through
the county Is more than half graded.
Be. Jobs Fulton, formerly reel or
of the Episcopal Church of this city,
more recently of Mobile, and last of
Grace Church, New York, has been
called to Bt. Paul’s Church, Milwau
kee, with a salary of $5,000.
The London Financier says that
England will take possession of and
defend Constantinople if Russia
should Invade Turkey. She will
withdraw as soon as a neutral Hfato
is formed on the Bosphorus.
A dispatch of the 17th Inst, from
Washington says: Miss Leila Morse,
daughter of the late Prof. Morse, be
fore sailing for Europe yesterday,
gave a positive denial to a current
rumor of her,'engagement to Gov.
Tllden.
The New York Express steadily as
serts that Tllden . has been elected
and shall bo inaugurated; that the
decision of the people shall not be
reversed by the Senate. It calls at
tention to the fact that the House Is
a co-ordinate branch and holds the
purse and sinews of war.
Gfohgia.— I The Atlanta Constitution
says that with nine counties to hear
from Tllden has received 131,584, und
Hayes 46,775 votes, showing a ma
jority of 74,808. The remaining nine
counties will iuerease the majority
to over 80,000. The delinquent coun
ties are Bartow Charlton, Forsyth,
Gilmer, Pickens, Tatnall, Twiggs,
Whitfield und Jefferson.
The first count of the votes lu
South Carolina showed a majority of
1,114 for Hampton for Governor; that
Hayne, Rep., is elected Secretary of
State by 237 majority; Elliot, Rep.,
Attorney General, by seven votes;
Hagood, Democrat, Comptroller
General, by 256 majority; Thomp
son, Democrat, Superintendent of
Education, by 442 majority; Kenne
dy, Rop., by 181 majority, and Cardo
-7.0, Rep., by 208 majority.
We are pleased to see the call of
John G. Thompson for a meeting of
the Democratic Central Committee of
Ohio to take Into consideration the
present political emergency. It is
time that some commanding expres
sion was given as to the resolution of
the Democrats of the North in a
tnroatened crisis, and it is eminently
lit, that the Democrats of Ohio, who
have made such a gallant light under
adverse circumstances, should take
the initiatory step.
Theke seems to be point in Finch
back’s declaration that if the action
of the Kellogg returning board of
Louisana in "doctoring” the returns
is recognized as legal, he (Pinch)
must get Ids seat in the Senate. It
was only because of the frauds of the
same returning board in making up
the Legislature which elected Pinch,
that the Senate rejected him. We
believe that he is one of the Hayes
liectors in Louisiana: and if so, be
can, notwithstanding his color, force
his own admission by refusing to
vote for Hayes unless his party will
agree to admit him as Senator.
There seems to be some misappre
hension about the recent count of
the vote in South Carolina. It ap
pears that the board of canvassers,
in obedience of the order of tbe Su
preme Court, first counted the vote
as actually returned, not intending
that this count should be final. The
canvassing of the returns has yet to
be done. We are informed that thero
are “numerous clerical errors,” and
that the Democrats have made their
objections to a number of the returns
on the ground of irregularities,
frauds, &c. While wo do not enter
tain any lively hope that any correc
tions will be made that will give a
majority to any of the Tilden Elec
tors, we hope that such exposures
will be made as will help tho Demo
cratic party in its appeal to Congress
and the country against the wrong
committed by Radical officials in the
South.
The New York Herald, of the l7tk
inst., says: “lu Louisiana the North
ern Republicans have, in a reply of
some length, refused to coufer with
the Northern Democrats assembled
at New Orleaus. The Northern pub
lic will regret this step, for much was
expected from such a conference of
leading men of both parties. But of
the Republicans who sign the refusal
to confer only one or two are men of
such mark and independent charac
ter as to make their consent, or even
their presence in New Orleans, of im
iwrtance. We notice among the
signers a considerable number of
Ohio politicians—friends of Governor
Hayes. Their address refers the
Democrats to the strict letter of the
Louisiana law, and omits to say any
thing of the bad character of the
men who are to interpret and execute
a confessedly bad law in their own
interest. W'e should be sorry to be
lieve this represented the opinions
of Governor Hayes.”
—The storyjabout the attempt to steal
the bones of Abraham Lincoln looks rath
er thin. Pe’rhaps funds are wanted to
eompletethe monument.
THK POLITICAL HITI ATIOV
We have culled tho opinions of
several loading presses of the North
upon tho quostion (tho discussion of
which can hardly be longer avoided)
what course will tho Democratic
party puraue lu the event of tho
“counting In’’ of Hayes and Wheeler
by fraud backed by force. It is fair
to say that the views which we pre
sent are (with the exception of the
New York Herald's ) those of tho
Northern papers which arc most out
spoken in declaring that the country
should not submit to suoh a wrong.
Many other Democratic or independ
ent jiapers (notably tho Now York
World among them) are not so
positive in their utterances. We
regret this, tor if the party
which has rightfully won this
Presidential fight means to stand
up for its rights, the sooner It
makes that determination known
tho better and more effective. It
would be better if it were made
known before the Anal action of the
canvassing boards. Of course the
Mouth has no power in this matter.
It has contributed its nearly or quite
solid vote to elect Tilden aud HAn
dricks, and can now do no more.
It Is apparent that the whole Radi
cal party of the country is nearly
“solid” on the position that if Hayes
is declared elected according to the
usual forms, the country must sub
mit to It, right or wrong. It Is, per
haps, not quite so pronounced in
maintaining the right of the State
returning boards to manipulate the
returns so as to give Louisiana and
Florida to Hayes though Tilden is
found to have received a majority of
the jiopular vote. But the anticipation
of such a proceeding does not seem
to disconcert them, and we tnay as
well conclude that after the outrage
is committed they will stand by it as
final and Irreversible. Nowls the time
to prevent such an outrage, if they
wish to prevent it, and their failure
to denounce it at the effective time
must, be taken as presumptive evi
dence that they will not makeoppo
tition to it at any time until opposi
tion may be too late. The programme
of the Radical party contemplates that
all the Irregularities shall be commit
ted by tho State officials, and that
they will throw the responsibility of
irregularity thereafter upon the
Democrats. Thoy are trying to tlx
up tho returns of the Electoral votes
in suoh a manner that tho
Democrats in Congress must, appear
to be the revolutionary party In cor
recting a wrong committed in the
States. If, therefore, the Radical
conspiracy for giving the votes of
Louisiana and Florida for Hayes
should be carried out, tho Domocrots
in Congress must then find out some
way in which they can arrest it by
parliamentary proceeding, or they
will have to take the responsibility
of honest revolutionary resistance to
dishonest usurpation begun in a rev
olutionary manner and claiming reg
ularity only in its consummating
processes.

following Is the reply of the Demo
crat* to the last communication of
the Republicans :
The Hons. John Sherman, Stanley
Matthews, J. A. Garfield, W. D. Kel
ley, John A. Kassmi, E. W. Stough
ton, C. Irwin Ditry, Eugene Hale, M.
Quay, Will 8. Cutnback, E. F. Noyes,

ley, C. l'arwell, Courtlandt Barker,
Sidney Clark, J. C. Wilson :
Gentlemen—We are in receipt of
your letter of the 14t.h lost., in which
you inform us of your determination
not to confer with us for the purpose
of exerting such influence as we may
possess in behalf of such a canvass
of the votes actually east at the elec
tion in Louisiana, as by its fairness
and impartiality shall command the
acquiescence and respect of all Par
ties. Wo sincerely regret this failure
of our attempt to secure the cooper
ation of the citizens from other States
in furtherance of the purpose which,
as wo supposed, had brought them
hither at this juncture. We regret it
all the more beeauso your refusal to
confer and co-operate with us ap
pears to be based upon a serious mis
apprehension of tho language no less
than the spirit of our communication.
It can hardly have escaped your
notice that our statement of the re
sult to be attained by the co-operative
action, which we sought to bring
about, was a simple production of
the language of President Grant, at
whose request, we understand, you
are here. In his recent order to
Gen. Sherman, that language was
deliberately used no doubt in view of
the fact about which, as we conceive,
there can bo no dispute, thnttho first
and most essential prerequsite to an
honest and just declaration of the
results of the recent election in Lou
isiana is a fair and impartial canvass
of the votes actually east. It seems
to U 9 that you do the President great
injustice in supposing that, in speak
ing of the “votes actually cast,” he
meant to include votes illegally east,
as you certainly do us injustice by
the imputation of a desire to insist
upon such a narrow and vicious in
terpretation. In our judgement the
expression “votes actually cast” of
necessity designates votes legally
cast, and, as a consequence, of such
votes only did we desire to secure a
fair and impartial canvass. We beg
leave to say, therefore, that you are
mistaken in the belief that we sought
unduly to narrow the basis on which
we invited your co-operative action,
and you are do less in error in at
tributing to us a purpose to interfere
with the legal authorities of tho
State in the discharge of their duties,
to claim rights and to arrogate to
ourselves powers which wo do not
possess. In writing our letter we
were fully aware that both the or
ganization and action, whether judi
cial or ministerial, of the Returning
Board of Louisiana were beyond any
authoritative control from without,
and that it would bo the height of ar
rogance and folly to attempt to alter
the laws of a State of which we are
not citizens, or to obtrude our inter
pretation of those laws upon those
whoso duty it is to administer them,
but we had supposed, nevertheless,
that there was an influence which
might be rightfully excited even by
citizens of this republic who are
strangers in this State, and we had
taken it for granted that your pres
ence here, in response to the sugges
tion of the President, was a recogni
tion of this fact.
We had supi>osed that it was not
improper for us to remind the au
thorities of this State, by our mere
presence at least, that there are cer
tain rules of fairness and justice
which underlie .all constitutions and
laws, and upon whose observance
must depend the aequiesence of the
people of all parties in the result of
the Louisiana election—rules such
as these: That no one ought to be
judge in his case; that the decision
of any contest ought not to depend
upon the mere arbitrament of one of
the parties thereto; that before such
a decision is made both parties ought
to be fully and fairly heard ; that all
questions of law ought be decided in
conformity with its established gen
eral principles, and all questions in
fact upon evidence duly presented
and weighed under the rules which
are of universal recognition in all the
States of the Union ; that the trial of
all causes involving public interests
at least ought to be public, and that,
all the proceedings resorted to for
tho purpose of determining tho issues
in the present electoral contest
ought by their manifest impartiality
to disarm the suspicion that the
forms of law had been perverted into
instruments for the violation of its
spirit. In this connection we may
be permitted to observe, that while
undoubtedly, as you say, a sedulous
inculation and cultivation of thehub
its of obedience to the forms of law
is vital to the preservation of consti
tutional liberty.it is no less impor
tant that a refusal to yield such obe
dience be not provoked by using
these forms as a means for subverting
the very ends for which they were
designed.
Without undertaking to question
the sinoerity of the belief, which you
are at paius to express, that you
know of no reason to doubt that the
Louisiana Returning Board will
make a perfectly honest and just de
claration of the results of the recent
election in Louisiana, we deem it
not improper to remind you that the
presence in this city of so many citi
zens from all parts of the Union at
this moment seems to be evidence
of a widely prevalent distrust of the
action of this board, and that suck
distrust has this foundation at least,
that the constitution of the board
has not been changed since its re
turns were set aside by a Congres
sional committee, of which the Re
publican candidate for the Vice Pres
idency was a member; and this dis
trust is not unnatural in view of the
Tact, that, as we understand, one of
the members of the Returning
Board was a candidate for an office
at the recent election, and another
tho holder of an office of profit and
trust by appointment of the present
Exeutivo of the National Govern
ment. while all the members of the
Board are believed to be in affiliation
with but one of tho parties to the
present political contest. In view of
ail this, it is hardly necessary to add
that the terms of our letter were not
designed to prejudge the question
whether the functions of the Return
ing Board were judicial or ministeri
al, or both ; but simply to invite you
to see, with us, that whatever may
be the character of these functions,
they are openly, fairly, and honestly
dischargged; and while we thus re
frained from any attempt at stating
or construing the laws of Louisiana,
we deemed it equally irrelevant to
the subject of our correspondence
with you to allude to the duties de
volving upon officers other than
those constituting the Louisiana Re
turning Board, under the laws and
Constitution of the United States.
Whether, as you observe by way of
illustration, under the Constitution
the President of the Senate both
counts and declares the votes of the
Electors of the several States, his du
tv being purely ministerial and not
subject to the control of Congress, or,
us has been the praotico for more
than eighty years—a practio inaugu
rated by men, some of whom have
been among the framers of the Con
stitution—tne votes are to bo counted
nnder the direction and control of
the House of Representatives and
Senate, is a question, upon the dis
cussion of whioh wo deem It no part
of our duty to enter.
In conclusion, permit us to say,
that notwithstanding your refusal to
co-operate, we still cherish the hope
that the Returning Board, warned by
history of the past aud conscious that
Its actions are being observed by the
whole nation, will discharge its del
icate duty with such clrcusmpection,
fairness and impartiality as will give
sat isfaction to the American people.
To this end we will continue to labor.
Should a different result follow the
uction of the Board-, we siiull have
tiie satisfaction of knowing that,
while vou have taken the reponsibil
ity of declining to Hot with us, we
have done all in our power to avert
tho consequences wluoh may follow.
