It was reported at Columbus, Ohio,
on Monday, that Senator Sherman
had telegraphed from New Orleans
to Gov. Hayes, advising him to with
draw from the contest. This is per
haps putting it rather strong, but i(
is certain that Mr. Sherman Ims ex
pressed his dissatisfaction and dis
gust at the action of the returning
board.
Some Democratic Congressmen
had arrived in Washington on
Wednesday. A dispatch of that day
says: “Tho Democratic!members
now in tho city say the House will
appoint a committee to visit tho dis
turbed States on Monday next, and
that by Thursday of next week the
Congressional Committee will bo at
work in Now Orleans, Columbia, 8.
(t., and Tallahassee, Fin.''
We noticed, the other day, "1* report
that two of tho Republican Electors of
South Carolina had declared that they
would not accept certificates from Gov.
Chamberlain. A special of the 29th tilt.,
to the New York Post (Republican pa
per) confirms tills. It says: "There is no
doubt as to the truth of the report that
two electors In Bonth Carolina have sig
nified their intention of not accepting
certificates from Chamberiain. This
creates something like consternation in
Republican quarters, *nd ia regarded as
indicative of trouble/
Tlie Post’ a Washington dispatch of
the same date also says: "Fears arc enter
tained by members of the National Com
mittee that some Republican elector may
be bribed to vote for Grant instead of
Hayes, and thus throw the election in the
House. This is nssnming that Louisiana
and Florida are both Republican.'"

the great, frauds perpetrated by some
of tho most prominent Republicans
and their perversion and misapplica

should not every Republican Elector
who loves truth and justice "see to it”
that the American people be heard ?
and If any of them who oppose their

Irate Judge and an Indignant Jury.
In the Circuit Court, at Lynchburg, V.,
on Weduesday, Judge WiugtioUl, presi
ding, the Jury in the ease of Thomus
against Ciemeus, for false imprisonment.,
rendered a verdict for the defendant,
whereupon Judge Wingfield addressed
the jury as follows: ’’lt Is one of the
most unaccountable verdicts I ever saw.
It is a blot on the jury trials of this coun
try. Go! You are not tit to decide be
tween two dogs. Go! you aredtsohurgod,”
and waviug bis band told them to “Get
away.” The action of the Judge caused
some surprise, and raised tho (roof the
jurors, and an attorney, upon their bo Imi r
waited upon the Judge and requeeted an
explanation. The Judge replied that he
wantod tosoe the Jury at 4 o'clock lu tho
afternoon, at which time he made hu apol
ogy for hfa*remarks, saying they were
used In the heat of excitement, and there,
where he made use of his intemperate
laguage. he desired to make all amends.
Tho jurors expressed themselves as satis
fied with the explanation.
Ultimate Division of California.
The BtrUcing-adwaoes la the noptila
ti.n of Southern California, disclosed
by the vote et the Presidential elec
tion, brings nearer the day when Cal
ifornia, instead of remaining tho
long,straggling and tinwieldly State
she now, will be divided Into two
sjmmetrioal and homogeneous
Slates. The polioy of our country
has always been to respect the wish
of the people for reasonable local
subdivisions. Two things ore called
for, or will be shortly; A United
States Court for Southern California,
and a term of the Supreme Court of
the State at Los Angelos. These we
should have anyhow, however long
the division of the State may be post
poned. Los Angeles would make a
good capital for the new State.—Xo*

Portland, Nov. 23,—Senator Kelly
and a number of prominent Demo
crats held a meetingto-dny. The na
ture of the consultation was kept se
cret, but is believed to have been for
the purpose ot determining whut
course to pursue regarding Watt’s
case. Some of the Democrats, who
profess to know, affirm that the Gov
ernor will issue the certificate unless
enjoined. The Republicans receive
such declarations with distrust.

IS IT KEFCRMCA*?
The Congressional committee np
| pointed to report a form of govern
ment for the Dastrlot of Columbia.
I havg, it i# stated, agreod upon a bill
which provides for three commis
sioners, one of whom Is to be appoint,
cd by tl President, by and with the
advice and consent of tho Senate, for
tho term of four years. The second
is to be elected by the House bf Rep
resentatives bj ballot for two years,
and the third elected by the Senate
by ballot for six years. Thecommls
siouersare invested with full powers
to carry on the District Government,
and are to be constituted by a body
corporate. This bill, if approved by
the full oommitteo, will be reported
to Congress for its action.
This kind of government, though
something like it has of lute been in
operation in the District of Columbia,
Is an unotually in our American system
It deprives the people of the District
of atl share in their local government.
Even tho Territories, in their condi
tion of tutelage, hnvo larger powers of
self-government, for they elect their
own legislatures; and with them this
condition is ouly temporary and pre
paratory. But the District of Colum
bia, with a population greater than,
that of some of the Territories, a regu
lar and permanent local government,
appointed by Congress and President
in choice of whom the people of the
Dlsirict havo no voico, is proposed.
Is such a government republican,
and does the Constitution of tho Uni
ted States, in vesting in Congress ex
clusive jurisdiction over the District,
authorize the Federal Government to
give it any other form of govern
ment than that which it is bound to
guarantee to the several States-a
republican one?
The secret of this movement to
govern the District of Columbia by
“commissioners” appointed by Con
gress arid the President, is the desire
to savo it from negro control. At the
close of tho war the negroes flocked
Into Washington city in such num
bers as to give tho control to tiny
small class of white men with whom
they might form a political associa
tion, and it is hardly necessary to ex
plain to the Southern people tho
class that they found associates in.
They obtained control of the District
government, and ran it exactly as
they ran the governments of the
Southern States while they had the
power. The property holders had to
seek relief in a government not of
the people of the District; arid the
bill now agreed upon proposes to
continue such a government. They
vitiated suffrage until it beeamo uir
endurable, and now they seek a rem
edy similar to that of tho old New
York farmer who got rid of the rats
by burning his barn.
We hope that the Democrats in
Congress wil 1 aid in imposing upon
no part oi the people of the country
a government anti-republican in its
form. We hope that they will throw
upon tho people of the District of
Columbia tlie duty of ridding them
selves of their ruts without burning
the barn.

THE SITUATION AT COt.VMRIA.
Up to the close of our day dis
patches of yesterday, tho sword of
Damocles was still suspended over
the Democratic House of Represent
atives of South Carolina, but the
blow had not been struck. Evidently
the powers at Washington felt some
concern about the enormity of the
outrage which they had prepared to
commit, and hesitated in tho lxo|w* Of
avoiding it. But tlie Democraiio
members stood firmly to their posts
and showed no signs of yielding.
They had held un all-night session
in the ball, maintaining ttaoir posi
tion for fear that admission would
be denied them when they sought to
re-enter ufter adjournment. They
had determined to stay until they
were taken out by force, and to cutri
(Hsl the military authorities to resort
to that, harsh proceeding to get them
out. If they could have been neared
out, thpre would have been grim sat
isfaction at Washington, and the
work of the conspirators would have
been quickly consummated. Their
firm stand will either frustrate the
design of the Federal administration
or make it execute its programme in
ull its nuked atrocity.
We hope that t here is good founda
tion for the intimations that General
Huger dislikes the work imposed
upon him and contemplates resign
ing rather than push it, to the ex
tremity threatened.
Tho Radical Legislature bad re
solved to count the votes for Gov
ernor and declare the result yester
day. Therefore it was that they pro
cured from tho military authorities
the threat to exclude the Edgefield
and Laurens Democrats by 12 o’clock
yesterday. The threat was not car
ried out within the time named, and
the question now is whether the
usurping powers will have the auda
city to enter tho hall and take them
out by force.
The Democrats of the South Caro
lina Legislature are making a heroic
stand for constitutional government
and the rights of their State and peo
ple. They may be able to do noth
ing more than to plaee tho issue in
volved in a most startling manner
before the American people. They
owe it to themselves us well ns to
their sympathisers and friends
throughout the country to do this,
and millions of patriots all over the
Union are now fervently hoping that
they will adopt tho counsel of Sum
ner to Stantou—“Stick.”
The Feeling ln tlie Army.
From Don Piatt'- Wawhinuton Letter (Nov. 2.U1)
to tlie Cincinnati Enquirer.
I started out yesterday to make a
round among the officers I happened
to know intimately, to learn from
them, if I could, tlie meaning, us
they saw' it, of this move on Wash
ington. I found them mysteriously
reticent. I doubt whether they knew
themselves.
“My dear fellow,” said one more
frank and outspoken than the others
—and a very clever one, in every
sense of the’word, lie is >- l would
tell you if 1 knew, but I don’t. I
might shako my head and look com
passionately upon you, as the rest do,
but it is all cussed nonsense so far as
that goes. Wo know nothing, abso
lutely nothing,”
“What is vour opinion ?”
“I think something must be meant
by the infernal mystery thrown about
it. Generally when t, movement is
near, it is talked about openly in ad
vance; there is no concealment, nor
a reason for any. But on this occa
sion we are suddenly huddled up nm)
ordered off, without even being fa
vored with information ns to our
destination, and every effort in that
line te met with a snub.”
“So you obey orders ?”
“That is our trade—for that we are
soldiers.”
“And would you, if ordered, march
into the Hall of tho House and arrest
Representatives at the point of the
the bayonet?”
“Well, I don’t know. What witli
your continued talk about one’s re
maining a citizen although a soldier,
and our late experience at the South,
wo are learning much that- it is not
taught at West Point.”
“Wlmt do you mean by late exper
ience at the South.”
“We who have been sent South to
protect tlie carpet-baggers have
learned that instead of sustaining
law and order, we have been used as
tools for a dirty sort of oppression,
built up on ignorance of which you
can have no conception. This lias
so disgusted artuy officers that the
President finds it difficult to send
such as the politicians cn depend on.
One reason why the lute elections at
t he South resulted in Democratic vic
tories was, as I learn from letters
written by brother officers stationed
there, that they refused positively to
be used, and gave both parties to
understand that they would not. in
terfere unless a riot occurred-
“Then you’d exrecise some discre
tion in obeying the order to march
into the House ?”
“I should be*vory apt to say to my
superior officer that he bail better
march in himself, that I should not
know which side to make arrests
from.”
“I wish I could think your senti
ments were those of i he army.”
“You have a goodly lot, 1 can tell
you. Let me see”—and lie ran over
the names ot four Brigadier Generals
in tlie regular army and a brigade ot
Colonels and Majors. Tiiis was ex
ceedingly gratifying at. Hie time, but
lifter it rattier added to my grave ap
prehensions for save himself there
was but one of the list lie gave me
called to Washington. Those who
were called especially for the work,
whatever it may be, strike me as a
set of gentlemen with just bruin
enough to obey orders. General
Sherman is one of the ugliest and
most dangerous of the lot. He has in
him nil ill-concealed contempt fertile
masses and that re-exaggertited opin
ion of and belief in his profession of
epanieted throat-cutting peculiar to
the mere soldier.
stick tn Ttutr Business.
Scientific AuiexicAU.)
There is nothing which should be more
frequently impressed upon the minds of
the young men than the importance of
steadily pursuing someone business. Tlie
frequent changing from one employment
to another is one cf the common errors
committed, and to it may be traced more
tiiau half the failures of men in business,
amt much of the discontent and disap
pointment which render life uncomforta
ble. It is a very common thing ior a man
to be dissatisfied with his business, and to
desire to change it tor some other, which,
it seems to him, will prove a more lucra
tivo employment; but, in nine cases out
of ten. it is a mistake. Look round you,
and you will find among yonr acquain
tances abundant verifications of onr acr-
tion. There is no honest farmer who tins
toiled a few years, got his farm paid for,
but does not grow rich very rapidly, as
much for look of coatfotment mingled
with Industry ns anything, though lie is
not nwuraof it. Ho hear* the wonderful
stories of Cidiloraio, and how fortunes
may be bml for tlie trouble of picking
them up; mortgages his farm to raise
money, goes away to the lurid of gold,
and, after many months of hard toil,
comes home to commence again at the
bottom of the hill lor a more ~ wi nrv and
less successful climbing tip again. Mark
the men in every community who are
notorious for instability and equally noto
rious for never getting ahead. You w ill
find them to be those who never stick to
any one business long, hut always forsak
ing their occupation just when it begins
to be profitable.
