LARGEST CIRCULATION
In tkv CtmllM l mid Trn.ll..*
Ml OolHanllM.
This Ilepubllcana of tho Alabama
Legislature voted for Hon. Ham’l F.
Kltee fot United States Senator.
SENATOR McDonald says of the Louisi
ana Radicals: “I have no doubt the Radi
cals Uavc determined to count in Hayes,
but I believe tbey will tiud the law and
the figures more than enough for them.”
• * -T-#- *--
T&* President nnrl Secretary Chan
dler hud a consultation with Win. M.
Emrts an Tuesday. This may Indi
cate a disposition to listen to reason
and law, though Mr. Evarts is the
only moderate Republican of whom
they appear to have Liken counsel.
A special from 'Washington to the
New Orleans Denwirat suggests that
the reason of Sheridan's recall from
New Orleans was that he was wanted
to take command at Washington
city, which is in Gen. Hancock’s mil
itary department. This is quite
probable. Sheridan Is a much more
handy man for Grant, In the work of
usurpation, than Hancock,
The Democrats of Alabama have
made an excellent choice of United
State* Senator. Gen. Morgan is one,
of the most eloquent and able men of
the Stats, and will be found a firm
and ready defender of bis State and
]>eople when ever an occasion calls
fot suck an effort. His opponent,
Col. J. L. Pugli, Is also a man of dis
tinguished ability, and would grace
the Senate of the United States.
Alabama is fertunate in having two
such sons from whom to make a
choice of Senator,and we are not sur
prised that the race between them
was exceedingly close.
Parties m the Hots*.—The New
York 'Mbune’s figures give the Dem
ocrats 1&3 Representatives, and the
Republicans 140—a Democratic ma
jority of 13. In this estimate the
Louisiana and Florida delegations
are equally divided, and the New
Hampshire delegation la counted
as it stands at present—two Demo
crats and one Republican. The
New York Times says that the Dem
ocratic majority will not exceed ten,
aud it bewails the tact that the Re
publican representation “bids fair to
be weaker in point of brains and en
ergy, asßcerteinly is In point of ex.-
perlenee and parliamentary skill, (
than it Is in the present one.’* The
Time s probably claimed more for the
Republicans In Louisiana and New
Hampshire than the Tribune's esti
mate, and this accounts forthedlffer
ence between them.
R. 8. Thaws, a prominent, lawyer
and orator of South Carolina, has
addressed to the Chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee a
communication pronouaoing the re
cent election of President ial Electors
in that State illegal. He refers to
the law of the State requiring regis
tration as a qualification of electors.
He says: “I am prepared to estab
lish, In a protest case docketed for
this term of our Supreme Court, that
registration is Indispensable to the
validity of any and every election in
this State.”
There was no registration in South
Carolina, as required by the Consti
tution of the State; and the Consti
tution of the United States provides
that the qualifications of voters for
Presidential Electors shall be the
same aB those required of voters for
representatives in their respective
States.
Mr. Tharln concludes that the
Electoral vote of South Carolina must
be thrown out for want of reglstra
tion. _
The New York Herald of Tuesday
made an energetic protest against
what the President did on that day—
against a “repetition in Columbia, to
day, of the outrage in Louisiana, in
January 1875, when the Legislature
was dispersed by Federal soldiers at
the point of the bayonet.” The Herald
adds: That act of military violence
was condemned by Evarts, Bryant,
and other Republicans, and should
be a caution to the President not to
make the same mistake again. The
House of Representatives have both
the power and will to impeach him
if he should prostitute his authority
over the army to aid the dishonest
election of his successor, and set up
a President at Washington as he set
up a Governor at New Orleaus. Presl*
dent Grantjcan’t wish to court [an im
peachment when he is about to close
his long carreer of distinguished, and
in a military point of view, at least,
glorious public servioe.”
Postmaster Electors.— Apropos of
the present discussion regarding the
election, as Presidential Electors, of
two postmasters—one in Vermont and
one in Oregon—a reference to the law
relating to the Post Office Depart
ment will be of value. This law de
clares that a postmaster is held to be
in office and his bond fully holden
until a sueeessor is appointed, sworn
into office, his bond accepted, and he
possessed of the government pro
perty for which his predecessor was
liable. The two postmasters in ques
tion have resigned; but the law says
that no postmaster ean be relieved
by a simple resignation, and the two
gentlemen may regain their offices
after the Electoral Colleges meet.
Perhaps, however, Grant and Post
master General Tyner may see fit to
make anew law, or change the pre
sent one to suit themselves.— Albany
Argus, 21sf.
The Dalton Enterprise says: “A long
train erf wagons loaded with emigrants
and their chattels, passed through Oils
city ea routs to Florida, on Friday last.
They were fcited of Missouri, arid contem
plated a happy future under the genial
skies of tho South, They represented that
many more intended to move southward
as soon as they could arrange for the Jon r
ney.”
I ADJUDICATION OR COMPROMISE.
! The Now York Bulletin is a com
mercial paper, which very soldom
takes any part tn political discus
sions, and when it does so, It Is ap
parently In the Interest of commerce.
It now bewails the injurious efTeet. of
the polittcul complications upon the
business Interests of the country,
and, accepting the conclusion that
the dispute about the Electoral votes
must go Into Congress, it endeavors
to find out a mode of peaceful settle
ment or compromise. We copy Its
propositions below.
To tho first of these propositions—
that any question of law or constitu
tion which may arise should be de
cided by the Supreme Court—we per
ceive no objection, If an Issue can be
made up in such a manner as to ob
tain a judgment upholding both law
and justice. The court, It Is true, is
composed almost wholly of Republi
cans, and has not heretofore evinced
much readiness to interpose its au
thority to>rrest Executive and Con
gressional usurpations; but it Is the
arbiter to which we have been taught
to look as the Anal exponent of law,
and Its high province ought to be a
guaranty of justice and Impartiality.
The proposition of compromise we
do not regard with so much favor.
Upon the terms suggested, It would
lower our Presidential contests to a
mere scramble for the spoils of office.
It would be establishing a very per
nicious and dangerous precedent, by
upholding the sharp practice of in
terested politicians and dishonest
State officials in so manipulating the
popular vote as to reverse the popu
lar judgment. This is a contest In
whioh the popular vote is opposed to
the tricks and frauds of politicians,
and if the people of the country arc to
be defeated by fraud, or by compro
mise eveu, we may never expect a
fair and honest Presidential election
again. The Democratic party, in this
contest, have struck for reform, and
the acceptance of such a compromise
would be “reform” with a vengeance!
It would be a surrender of the rights
of the majority of the American peo
ple, which we hope may never be
agreed to, even'll trade suffers a little
and the bondholders a good deal.
We copy the suggestions of the
Bulletin:
Is there thefi any final arbitration
to which this question could be re
ferred from Congress? Why should
not the Supreme Court be resorted
to for such final reference? The
competency of the court to deal with
the issues is beyond dispute. The
question is one that arises under the
Constitution, of whioh the court is
the supreme und final exponent.
The acts of Congress, whether in the
form of enactment, resolution or
declaration, are subject to the revo
cation of the court if by it deemed to
be In opposition to the Constitution.
Congress is bound to act within con
stitutional law; and it is this function
of that court to say what the Consti
tution permits, enjoins or prohibits.
Apart, however, from the jurisdiction
which may be fairly inferred from the
necessary scope of its functions and
the whole genius of its relations to
our system of government, the Con
stitution, Art. 111., Bee. a, expressly
provides that the Supreme Court
shall have appellate jurisdiction in
“all cases in law and equity arising
under this Constitution,” and also
“in controversies between two or
more States.” It cannot fora mo
ment be contended that Congress is
superior to the Constitution; and if
the Supreme Court is not the authori
ty to say whether its acts are consti
tutional, where do wo find that au
thority? Here, then, is a constitution
al arbitration between the divided
Earties in Congress, whose dictum is
Inal and legally binding. Assuming
then that both parties are williug to
abide by a conclusion reached
through a duly appointed legal pro
cess and to wait for the public ver
dict on its fairness at the next elec
tion, what.,is there to prevent this 4
dispute being settled without anv of
the derangements so many fear and
whiuii sensational journalism pic
tures to tho timid public?
It is by no means impossible, how
ever, mat a method of settlement
may be reached without resort to the
Supreme Court. Politicians, as a
rule, by no means desire deranging
measures. Their Interest lies in a
peaceful . administration of affairs,
whioh affords them continuance or
office. Very much of their zeal in
the coming contest will be inspired
by the prospect of gaining or main
taining official position and emolu
ments ; and they may be relied upon
to make everything subordidate to
that consideration. It Is therefore
to be anticipated that, at some period
of the contest, a time will come when
party leaders will start negotiations
for a compromise based upon a divi
sion of offices and of spoils. There
will be a great deal more of this sort
of political wlßdom than might
be anticipated froth the pres
ent high professions of regard
for superior considerations; and
it is by no means improba
ble that peace may be concluded upon
some such basis. The Democrats
could afford to accept Mr. Hayes,
because they would not only
have the House, but would
also be the recipients of a largo
official patronage, and their conces
sions for the sake of harmony would
be capital for them In tho next elec
tion. And the Republicans could
equally afford to accept MY. Tilden,
because they would hold him and the
Democratic House in check through
their large majority in the Senate,
while the bargain would continue to
them a large share of the Federal
offices, and they would stand the
better iu the estimation of the people
for having appeared to surrender
power for the sake of averting possi
ble national disaster. These are the
sort of arguments that might be used
by the leaders of both parties to in
duce their followers to accept the
kind of compromise here suggested.
Upon tho whole, we see little to
justifythe fears entertained by many
about tbe possible issue of the count
ing of the electoral vote. Although
a serious dispute in Congress is to
be anticipated, yet, as shown above,
we are not without a conclusive con
stitutional meaus of settling the
question in the event of Congress
failing to determine who shall be
President; and so long as we have
this to fall back upon, there need he
no apprehension.

—The Monroe Advertiser prints the fol
lowing : A man who left Georgia last Jan

“This to a rich country to farm in, but a
poor country to live in. Crops are always
good, but no one can hold out to gather
them. Everybody takes the swamp fever.
We have all lost all we had when we came
here, and the only thing wo have to show
for it to the swamp fever. I wish I was
back in Georgia. I never would come

get rid of this infernal swamp fever.”
—Tho OunatUntlonaUst says that John

about 9a, M. It required soveral hours
to transfer the menagerie. There were
four elephants and a number of camels
that had to be transferred. There were
two special trains that conveyed the con
cern to Atlanta.
—Dahlonega tUgnal: Perhaps at no
time in tho history of this part of the
country, since the “Intrusion” in 1833, has
there been the number of important dis
coveries in the matter of gold mining as
here of late. Only last summer the wealth
of the Jones Mine came to light, soon af
ter the Vesey Mine came to the front with
an extraordinary rich vein. Then the ex
citement centered on the old Findley, and
within tho past two weeks Mr. Ogle makes
tho startling disclosure (though it has al
ways been believed to be one of the best)
that the Pigeon Roost has more than mer
ited the most sanguine expectation. On
yesterday we visited, with Mr. A. C.
Shockley, his lot, within half a mile of the
court-house, on which be has been pros
pecting some time. He knew that this line
lead, on which is located the Pigeon Roost,
crossed his lot, and after long and por
slsteut search he has found it. It promi
ses to richly reward him for his tedious
•trouble.
The Chinese Question.
The Brooklyn Eagle thinks the Chi
nese question must long remain one
of anxiety and importance to the
people of this country, and any and
ail efforts to settle it will be watched
with unfailing interest by justice
loving people. The Joint Committee
of Congress now in San Francisco
have had testimony or the most
startling kind furnished to them; and
no doubt the present Winter we
shall hear much of the subject in
Congress. Three special points con
cerning which there has been
most testimony taken are the society
laws which the Chinese enforce, de
fying in so doing all municipal,
State and national statutes; the in
veterate gambling propensities of t he
race, and the enforced slavery of wo
men. Upon this latter point the evi
dence taken is of the most debasing
and terrible nature, fully establish
ing the truth of the statements which
the Ban Francisco people have been
making all along. Let it be hoped
that the fearful slavery forced upon
the weaker class of that undesirable
people will induce tho making of laws
so stringent that the emigration of
Chinese to this country will ha at an
end forever. They are not sufficient
ly desirable as citizens as to cause
the peace and well being of society
here to be imperilled by their pres
ence.

which to make his report. Tho or

but tho evidence proved more
voluminous than was anticipated,
and necessitated bis visiting distant
