THE DAILY TIMES. JOHN M. MARTI*, - - - Editor. Coluiubuff 0n... LARGEST dfedfrLATION la Ur fmllM t<wU l and Tratlll at to! ii a bur. It is remarkable how many close raoes there wore for Congress in the elections of this month. Not less Hum half a dozen Representatives were elected by loss than flTty ma jority each. Itls now jtwt announc ed that the official vote of the 18th 11 Itaois district shows the olectlon of of Hartzell, l>em., by a majority of 20. A special from Washington, iioth, to the Cincinnati Enquirer, says; General Butler was here to-day. He hod a long conference with Cialeb Cushing, and subsequently was closeted with Secretary Robeson for no hour or two. He is of the opinion that if all the disputed Southern States are counted for Hayes that the House will object to the reception of the Totes of Alabama and Mississip pi,; and the end will be that the Pres ident will not be chosen by the 4th of March, and that the President of the Senate, whoever he may be, wil become the President. H. V, Redfieli), the Republican correspondent of the Cincinnati Com mercial, communicates to that, iiper what Capt.Baseom,the Federal officer in command In West Feliciana (one of the parishes of Louisiana over which the Radicals raise the cry oi intimidation) says about It: “Ho says the election in that parish was as free and fair as any ever witnessed. He says if that parish can be thrown out any county in the United States can. The Democrats carried it by 800 ma jority. By joining black olubs, by argument and appeal, the whites won the blacks by kindness and persua sion, and not by force. Oapt. Bus corn Is an Ohio man.” Atlanta Journalism.— The Contti futfon announces that Mr. J. 0. Har ris, the well known paragraphist, iato of the Savannah New#, is perma nently attached to Its editorial staff. He will be quite an addition to the paper. The Commonwealth has been dis continued, and Col. Styles, its editor and proprietor, has united with 8. W. Small and B. W. Smith to publish a new evening daily called the Tele gram. It will appear immediately. These gentlemen make a very strong newspaper team, and there Is no doubt wharever that they will get up an able and newsy paper. We wish them successs. Thk New Orleans Bemoorat of Wednesday gives the uction' of the Returning Board on Irregularities at several precincts. The most impor tant of its dectstous was on the fol lowing case: In the ninth poll in Bt. James the Democrats, through an error, voted for only three Elec tors—Wlckllffe and McEnery, the electors at largo, and Poehe, tho elector for thatdistrict. Some thirty votes were thus lost for live Demo cratic electors. The Board refused to oount the names of the missing electors, and thus have established a precedent that they will be compell ed to follow fa the case of the Radi cal votes in the Fourteenth Senato rial District. jg . --•-< The Troops at Washington.— Not withstanding official denials of any party or political object in the move ment, troops continue to he sent to Washington, and we are told that they will etay there nntil the Ith of March, when, Gen. Grant says, they will be needed as an escort to the new president—to make a customary military display on the occasion 1 A Washington special gives a cur rent report of tho immediate object of the concentration. The Demo crats have resolved to have a ratifi cation meeting and torchlight pro oWffttoh on the 29th Inst., in honor of the election of Tilden. Some of the; Radical officials fear that they will attempt to get possession of the De partments of the Government, and troops are intended to overawe or re sist them! t VOTHF.It OBJECT OF THE COIWPI - It Is,evident that the Radicals are aiming to cut down, if not to entirely overcome, the Democratic majority in the lower house of Congress, by the frauds of the Radical canvassing boards in the South. They will try to gain in this way two members in Florida, two or three in Louisiana, and perhaps one in South Garoiina. That their arrangements and con spiracy contemplate the fraudulent acquisition of a sufficient number to entirely overoome the fair Democrat ic majority in the House, is presuma ble from the fact that unless they thus secure a clear majority the House will reject the members re turned by the frauds of the canvass- iD# boards. One instance o£ the sharp practice by which they are operating in this way is to bo found in the 4th District of Louisiana. In this District Judge Khun, Dem., has been elected by a majority of over seven hundred, ac cording to authentic reports of the several parishes. But there was a delay in forwarding the official re turns, which was unaoountabie until George L. Smith, the Radical candi date for Congress in the District, ar rived in New Orleans on Tuesday last, and stated tbat he had in his possession the official returns from nine of the parishes! Seals© stated that they differed so much from the newspaper reports of their votes as to elect him, by a flMjgrity of 1,300! or course, if be oaa get hisreturn* emi/ited he will-secure the scat. WITH CAROLINA. THE OUTRAGEOUS ACTION QJfTHK CAN VASSINh BOARD. | The unparalleled trick by which t lie Bottfd of Canvasser* of South Car olina nullified the orders of the Su tPSftmoOourt of tlot Stole, only af fords another proof of the cfetormlua tion of their party to secure a major ity of the Electoral vote for Euyos ut all hazards and in contempt of all constitutional obstacles. Its audaci ty certainly supports the presump tion that it was diotated from Wash ington, The Supremo Court, whoso orders the board thus set at deilanoe, is composed wholly of Republicans, and tho prior submission of the question of its powers to the Court was made in the cond deuce that the court would act in the same partisan spirit as that which actuated the Board. When the £ found that the Court was not working in harmony with their scheme, they denied its jurisdiction, detled its authority and at tempted to nullify it* deorees. The claim of the New York Time# that the Board was a trlbifnal with judicial powers, and com mitted an error in at first per mitting the Court to exercise a part of its powers, is au assumption with out proof. Its judicial power was the question in dispute, and it was submitted to theSuprerao Court. To what other tribunal could it have beeuj submitted? and what tribunal has tho power to reverse a judgment of the Supreme Court on a q uestlon of law? There will now, doubtless, be two State governments set up in South Carolina, just as thero was in Louis iana two or three years ago. If the people of South Carolina are left to settle this matter for themselves, thero is no question as to how they will settle it, notwithstanding the possession by the Chamberlain party of all tho organized resources and strength of the State. But Federal intervention will be invoked to sus tain the outrage, and an important question now is, which party will it uphold? In the Louisiana similar case, Gen. Grant justified his inter ference by the plea that he acted in support of the decree of a court; and in the Arkansas case, the party whioh he supported had no other claim than an order of the Repub lican Supreme Court of the State. The President, in these notable in stances. took the ground that in a conflict betweon contending political parties in a State, the judgments and decrees of the judicial tribunals must be supported by the authority of the United States. Will he take the same course now ? If so, there can be no doubt as to the result. But consist ency is not a notable characteristic of Gen. Grant when the interests of his party are likely to be damaged by it. This South Carolina trick only quickens our apprehension that by similar or equally iniquitous means the Electoral votes of Louisiana and Florida will be counted for Hayes. Wo are convinced of this because the South Carolina fraud would bo un availing without the securing of Louisiana and Florida also, and it was too daring and unscrupulous a proceeding to be resorted to without some object commensurate with its turpitude and rascality. - - ■ . Tbe Ineligible Elector*. Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, Diet,] A reporter of the Chronicle and Sentinel conversed with , Hon. T. M. Norwood, United States Senator from Georgia, in reference to the political status yesterday. Reporter What is your opinion about the Vermont and Oregon post masters who were on the Republican Electoral Ticket? Mr. Norwood—l am clearly of the opinion that the votes cast for them were so many votes thrown away. The language' of the Constitution is plain. It says that no man shall be appointed to the position who holds an office of trust or profit under the United States. The word appointed means elected, for the terms lu this connection are interchangeable.— Resigning the offioe of trust or profit afterwards makes no dif ference. The votes cast for the party thus ineligible are absolutely thrown away. Decisions open this very point have been made by Judge Fields, in California, and by the Su preme Court tn Oregon. The case of John Young Brown, who was elected Representative from Kentucky be fore he had attained the age of twenty-five, is cited as an instance on the other side. But tho Constitution says simply that no mau shall be a representative who shall not have attained the age of twenty-five years. It does not say that he shall not be elected to the position—for it has been decided that it is not an office before he has attained to the age of twenty-five. So John Young Brown simply sat down and waited until he was twenty five and then took his seat. The Vermont Legislature proposes, I understand, to pass an enabling act, so iliat the vacancy there can be filled. That Legislature is Republican, and of course would elect a llayes elector. If the Vermont Legislature can do this the Oregon Legislature can pursue the same course. But the Oregon Legislature is Democratic, and would select a Tilden elector. This, giving Hayes all that the Republicans now claim, would give Til den 185 and Hayes 184. Leaving out both, Tliden would still have a majority. I am perfectly satisfied that Mr. Tilden is elected, and will be inaugurated next March. If I was not I would be a miser able man. Spanish News. Madkid, Nov. 23.— A dispatch to the Daily News says the Spanish Govern ment is determined to execute the men who seized the steamer Montezuma, when ever captured. Armed vessels will convoy merchant vessels in Cuban waters. Meantime the powers have assented to this arrange ment. The marriage between King Alfonso and the daughter of Duke DeMontpen sier is now reported definitely arranged. Thk majority for Tilden io Ken tucky is 61,993. In Georgia hi* ma jority will exceed 80,000. Texas is I yet to hear from. <DHWP#*I* K9BUU SKW*. —The Democrat* of Griffin have nomi nated Capt. T. J. Brooks as their candi date for Mayor. —The Rome New* says u Sunday snow fell at that placo from three until eight o'clock P. m., when tt was ftittlowed by rain. —Tho Newt says that a gentlemen in Savannah received a circular of a yellow fever romedy addressed to'**——■—i— dr his successor.” —Mr. Cornelius Willingham, son of C. H. C. Willingham, editor of tho Carters ville jßrprese, was shot and seriously wounded by Mr. John Stephens, of Stilos boro. —An old colored man In Jackson county who has always voted with his white friends, was presented last week with a bran new suit by his white confreres of Jackson. —The Commonwealth also reports Hon. A. H. Stephens os suylng while In Atlanta, that he has well grounded convictions that Mr. Tildeu carried the election by a deci sive and fairly won majority, and think* he will be inaugurated without national disturbance. —John P. Cruee, of Gwinnett county, who was accused of killing two negroes near Norcross, some months ago, and then burning tho house over them, and who made his escape, has been arrested. He was found lu a shuck pen In Hall coun ty, and captured by Deputy Sheriff Find ley and his son. Large rewards had been offered for hltu. —Hon. Joshua Hill, whom the Republi cans of the Ninth Congressional District lately wanted to rur. against Hon. B. H. Hill, says that TUden is unquestionably elected and as fairly as American methods allow. He thinks that he will be inaugurated without trouble. Mr. Hill Is a pretty goocj parliamentarian, and his opinion Is worth something If tho squab ble goes Into Congress. HON. 11. 11. IIILL S IPKK( H. From the Athens Watchmen, 21 t.) By special Invitation, the Hon. B. H. Hill addressed our citizens on Wednesday night, from the balcony of the Newton House. There was a very large crowd in attendance, both on Broad street and College Avenue, while numbers of ladles graced the occasion by their presence on tho bal cooy and in the interior of tho hotel. He commenced by saying that un der tho peculiar circumstances of the case there was much that he wished to say,which it would not be proper to utter at this time. He gave his hearers a succinct statement of the status of affairs -showing that Tilden had unquestionably obtained 184 Electoral votes, lacking only one of the Constiutional majority, while in South Carolina, Florida and Louis iana, casting lit Electoral votes, there was a dispute about the count—that while Tilden lacked onhj one to be elected, Hayes must secure all of the 19 to give him a majority. He then referred to the “Returning Board” in the contested states—showing the great temptation held out to them and how ready they were to fall into temptation, but expressed the hope that Inasmuch as the whole American people were intently watch ing them, a fair count might be had. Our tree institutions are undergoing a crucial test, said Mr. H. If the peo ple, after fairly electing a President, should suffer his inauguration to be prevented by chicanery and fraud, they thereby proclaim to all man kind they are Incabablo of self gov ernment. The country is in a groat crisis, and never to tho history of free governments hud a parallel ease oc curred. He advised his hearers to keep cool, and watch autl wait hope ful of a peaceful solution. Referring to the late contest, he said that tho 7th of November, 1870, would mark an epoch in our history more important than any other day since the landing of Columbus. On that, day the Union had been re stored—a Union of consent and not of force—the right of local self-gov ernment had been re-established the bloody chasm had been bridged, and tho people had,by an overwhelm ing popular majority, demanded ad ministrative reform, and determined to turn out the rogues and rascals. It was a proud era in our national history and inspired fresh hope in tho breasts of the friends of liberty and a renewed confidence in tho prosperity of our institutions. He conjured his hearers to'cling to the Union under all circumstances it was the sheet anchor of safety. The Southern people had been mis understood on this subject. They had never been disunionists per tie. Even the secessionists left it only when satisfied they could not get their rights. They did not object to the Union, but to its perversion to aid in the accomplishment of unlaw ful objects. He referred to his reply to Blaine. “We are in the Union again. We are in our father’s house, and we are there to stay.” Ho said this utterance fell like a bomb shell in the Radical camp. Let us through thick and thin cling to the Union, my countrymen, and all will be well. He exhorted the whites to exercise forbearance and charity to tho col ored race, to be patient and not to expect too much, that the time is coming when they will see it is their interest to vote with us. Addressing the blacks, he told them that he had never deceived them and should never do so; that he had learned that their leaders had led them to believe that if the Democrats were successful they would be re-en alaved and the ballot taken away from them. He assured them this was false; that they would enjoy every privilege under the laws that they now do, when the Democratic administration comes into power; and. ao far as the right to vote is con cerned, that although the Democrats opposed it at first, they would insist upon it hereafter, in view of the fact that it enabled the “solid South,” with a little outside aid, to carry the Presidential election and control the lower house of Congress. He took great pains to show them how this was effected, assuring them that ne gro suffrage had been instrumental in electing Tilden, and that but for it their man Hayes would have been elected President; closing with the pertinent inquiry, put in his peculi arly incisive style, "Ain’t you sorry ! you got to vote ?” He wound up his address to tho colored portion of the crowd that there was two great facts that they must learn—First; That no man can obtain an honest living without work of some kind. (“ That’ so,” emphatically responded an old darkey.) After elaborating this fact, he stated that “No man, white or black, can enjoy real freedom with out obedience to law.” “That’s so,” again responded the old man. He then showed them that largo num bers of their race had found their way to the penitentiary through idle ness and disobedience to law. “Plenty more ought to be tbar,” shouted the old man. The colored people seemed to receive In the prop er spirit the advice Mr. H. gavetnem. In conclusion, he referred to the future of Georgia—the bright prom ise of the coming great ness and pros parity of tho noble old Common wealth. The whole discourse was well timed and well received—a plain, practical, sensible talk—no attempt at oratory or declamation. It was too grave an occasion for anything of that sort. gmmmmm ■—■—mini m mr ■■i. ll ,.'.R*ii*ii*—*—■ Springers Opera House.
