LARGEST CIBCULATION
In IH Omtln W mn4 Trudln*
iii rlnnl>m.
Ths Naahvlllo American thinks
that it is now in order for Caleb Cush
ing to bring an action for* slander
against those newspapers which have
asserted that he was writing Grant's
message.
Ms. Edmukds’ proposed amend
ment to the Constitution would de
volve upon the Supreme Court the
task ot opening and counting the
Electoral votes and declaring the re
sult of the late Presidential elootion.
It contemplates the ratification of
the amendment, before the Ist of
February next, by a sufficient num
ber of the States to make it a part of
the Constitution. This would be ex
traordinary quick work.
A Washington correspondent of the
New York World states, after look
ing into the practices of Congress
since the government was founded,
that it has always required the con
current action of the two houses to
abrogate a joint rule as well as to
adopt It. Under the uniform prece
dent, therefore, the twenty-second
joint rule having been rescinded by
but one House is now in force, and
covers, of course, the counting of the
Electoral vote in February. The
record of the two houses also shows
that both perfected all of the legisla
tion of the last session by virtue of
the joint rales which continued in
f irm'from the preceding Congress.
The official returns of the votes of
27 States in the late Presidential elec
tion have been received. They sum
up—Tilden 3,644.502, Hayes 3,633,404,
Cooper 67,197. In two more States
the official majorities only are given,
which increase Tilden’s majority to
126,602. The nine remaining States-
Oolorado, Delaware, Florida, Louisi
ana, Mississippi, Nevada, Oregon,
Texas and Wert Virginia-are esti
mated to give Tilden a net majority
of 122,100, making his majority in all
the States about 248,800. The aggre
gate vote will be in the neighborhood
of etght millions.
The New York Bulletin of Monday
says of the pork packing so fat: The
first month of the pork packing sea
son closes with the total number of
bogs packed at the six principal
cities in excess of the corresponding
period last year by 53,000. At Chica
go the increase is 60fW0 ; St, Louis,
35,000; Milwaukee, 5,000; and Indian
apolis, 3,000. Cincinnati is the ex
ception thus far, the total packing
being 50,000 less than at this period
last year. Contrary to the early es
timates of the trade in some quar
ters, the receipts at most of the lead
ing points havo been considerably in
excess of the totals for the corres
ponding month last year—a circum
stance which must afford but little
encouragement to those who have
been calculating confidently upon u
“short crop,”
THBKadloiil press have commenced
agonizing over the course of Gov.
Grover, of Oregon, in withholding a
certificate rrom the ineligible Hayes
Elector. This is rich for papers
which sustain the frauds of the can
vassing boards in Louisiana, South
Carolina and Florida. No fraud is
os-can be olmrged upon Gov. Grover.
He only upheld the Constitution of
the United States, which declares
Watts ineligible. There is no dan
ger of Tilden’s election by the vote
ofOregon. But one Oregon vote may
block the dishonest, game by which
the BthWOftis were preparing to
clinch the frauds of tbs Southern re
turning boards. It may force them
to go behind the Governor’s certifi
cates, and this will open the way for
the exposure and rejection of the 19
votes cast for Hayes by the return
ing boards against the vote of a ma
jority of the , people. Throw these
out, and Tilden will not lack a vote
from Oregon. The Democrats only
want to make the man President
whom the people elected.
MAD ANB AWFUL.
The burning of the Brooklyn Thea
tre Is one of those terrible and deplo
rable incidents of civilization which
at Intervals horrify humanity by the
extent of the disaster. It afford*
another sad instance of the terrors
and dangers of a sudden panic in a
crowd, when men lose their presence
of mind and fail to avail themselves
of means of oseape which would be
readily adopted ia cooler moments.
The sudden death of three hun
dred human beings, who were think
ing only of pleasure and enjoyment,
is an awful event to contemplate.
The death of ten times that number
i heir lives in their
hands end feM' ba the battle-fleM,
ddfes not so urtfeh tftkrtie and bonify
us. This evebt has saddened thou
sands of families whose near friends
and relative*perished, and Brooklyn
may for a long time be called a city
of mourning.
A similar event in Richmond, Va.,
many years ago, turned public atten
tion earnestly to meaDs of facilita
ting and enlarging the egress from
public buildings. In the Richmond
theatre tb© doors Opened inside, and
the confused and terrified crowd
pressed upon all but one or two nar
row doors so that they could not be
opened. No doubt there has been
much improvement in the construc
tion of doors for public buildings
since that time, butthis terrible affair
In Brooklyn admonishes us that im
provement is still needed. Perhaps
it will be stimulated by this disaster.
—The Superior Court wilt be la me
!en several daw Vrtwp-r
HW WILL IT ENH?
i This is the great political question
now agitating the American mind.
It is settled that the President of the
Senate will lay before the two Houses
of Congress return* of the Electoral
votes showing a majority of ono for
Hayes. We do not count much upon
the return from Oregon certified by
the Governor, nor upon any vote to
be gained for Tilden by reason of the
ineligibility of Haves Electors. The
President of the Senate will have two
returns from Oregon, and the Radicul
majority in the Senate will take
care to elect a President of that
body who will present only the
Vote* for Hayes in all contested oases.
Thus, prima facie, will a majority for
Ilayes to be exhibited. Tben will
come the effort of the House to com
pel the counting of the votes which
the President of tho Senate fails to
produce—not only those of Oregon,
but those Louisiana, Florida and
South Carolina also. As authen
tication ought to precede “count
ing,’’and as the House of Itcpresen
tatives is one of tho bodies designa
ted by the constitution to superin
tend the counting, it would seem that
there ought to be no question as to
its authority in the premises. But
if the Senate and its presiding officer
assent to this, they at once lose all
of Hayes’ chances, for the House
would be sure to throw out Electo
ral votes fraudulently given to Hayes
by tho returning boards, and
then there would havo to be an elec
tion by the House, in which Hayes
would stand no chance. The Radical
Senate, then, must and will take its
stand upon the position that no Elec
toral votes can bo counted except
those laid before the two Houses by
the Vice President.
When will tho contort over this
question end? llovv will it end?
Can the House withdraw (or request
the Senate to withdraw) and then
proceed to elect a President before
the “count” of tho Electoral vote is
completed, and it is officially ascer
tained and announced that there has
been no election by the Elec
toral College? If it should do so,
would not tije Senate proclaim the
election of Hayes by tho Electors ?
Then we would have two Presidents
elect, and a state of affairs similar
to that which has so long existed is
Louisiana would be created. And
who is to be the arbiter between the
claimants ? Can tho question be
taken before the Supreme Court and
decided there, or will Grant, with his
usual executors of law and justice,
tho army of the United States, step
in and decide the conflict ? And if
he does, in whose interest and for
whose individual benefit will he
act? He makes loud profes
sions of his desire to retire
to private life, of his counting
the remaining wearisome hours
of his public service, &e.; but that
kind of talk was used to conceal
ambitious designs two thousand
years ago, and is entitled to no more
regard now than then. True, Gen.
Grant would not hare the shadow of
u constitutional right to the Presi
dency after the 4th of March, if that
day should pass without the election
of anew President, but neither would
Tilden or Hayes, and in an emer
gency of that kind ponitivn is worth
more-than anything else.
We do not pretend to see clearly
the processes and stages through
which this political contention will
pass, nor its solution. We only pro
pound tho above questions and sug
gestions to show the difficulty of the
situation and its really alarming
aspect. _
AMlIttU LKUMI.ITIBE.
Wednesday, 6th.—la the Senate, Mr.
Chambers introduced a bill to pro
vide for the continuance in office ot
ne of ehe State Commissioners; and
Mr. Saffold a bill to regulate the
taking of bonds by pledging proper
ty and giviug mortgages. These with
several others, were ordered to ft sec
ond reading. The bill to amend the
road laws so far as they relate to Bul
lock county, was laid on the table,
as a general bill provides for the ob
ject. The Senate further considered
the bill to amend the exemption laws
so as to exempt $250 foi every head
of a family. Several amendments
were voted down, but final action on
the bill was not reached. The judi
ciary committee reported a bill pro
viding that sentences -upon convic
[ lion for crime shall be to the peniten
tiary for more than a year, and to
county service for a less time.
In the House, the following among
other bills were introduced and or
dered to a second reading:
Mr. McKleroy—to amend section 7
of chapter 9 of the revenue law. [lm
poses a license tax of SSOO on emigra
tion agents.)
Mr. Blevins-for the relief of pas
sengers on railroads.
Mr. Johnson—to repeal an act pre
venting the sale of agricultural pro
ducts between the hours or sunset
and sunrise.

Mr. Hobeon -to provide for the re
demption of lands sold for taxes and
purchased by the State prior to tbe
year 1875.
Mr. McWhorter—to prevent the
carrying of friction matches in cer

Mr. MoKieroy, from Committee on
Education, reported favorably on bill

Also, adversely, on bill to amend
section 1 of an act to establish, or

from the 15th inst. to the 9th of Jau*

We entitled to mileage going home

The amendment to the Revenue
law, exempting $250 worth of prop
erty to each family, was further con
sidered, and recommitted.
The Governor informed the Legis
lature of bleep prove! of the fotfow
ins? bills:
To repeal the act in relation to the
fine and fotfeituro fuud of certain
counties, so far as they relate to the
counties of Chambers, Etowah, Bar
bour and Choctaw.
To flx the salary of the State

To amend section one of an aot to
incorporate the town of Rockford,
Swwaebtmty.
Ttr.v cannot imam.
Wo have an abiding faith that the
Radical Governors and Legislatures
fraudulently “counted in” by the
canvassing boards of South Carolina,
Florida and Louisiana will never
control the governments ot those
States. The otrwaffe of continued
support of them by the Federal mili
tary power will be too great for
the country to stand, and without
such support they will come to an in
glorious end in a day. Gen. Grant
used them as the monkey used the
cat’s paws-to draw chestnuts out of
the fire for Hayes or himself. But
his chief interest in their rascality
terminated with the canvassing
of the Electoral votes. He hud to
sustain them until this was done,
because otherwise their Stutes would
have voted for Tilden. But now,
unless we are greatly mistaken, he
will leave them to fight it out as best
they can with the wronged and in
dignant Democracy.
THE PBOGBESS TO EMPIEE SOUTH
CAROLINA
From the N. O. Picayune.]
Dr. Franklin, in a speech before
tho convention which framed the
constitution of the United States,
said in respect to tue Presidential of
fice : "The first man put at me helm
will be a good one. Nobody knows
what sort will come afterwards. The
executive will be afways Increasing
here, ns elsewhere, till it ends in mo
narchy,” The philosopher and pout
Coleridge reports a conversation
which he had in the first years ot
this century with an American com
mander, “who had deserved and re
ceived the highest honors that this
country could bestuw through her
assembled representatives.” The
commander foreboded that in the
course of time his countrymen,
“without local attachment, without
national honor, would resemble a
swarm of insects that settle on the
fruits of the earth to corrupt aod con
sume them, rather thau men who
love and cleave to the land of their
forefat tiers. After a shapeless anar
chy and a series of civil wars, we
shall at last be formed loto many
countries, unless the vices engender
ed in the prooess should demand tur
ther punishment, and we should rail
beneath the despotism of some mili
tary adventurer, like a lion consumed
by an inwarii disease, prostrate and
helpless, beneath the beak and tal
ons of a vulture, or yet meaner bird
of prey.”
Can it be possible that the heroie
and chivalric Decatur was gifted with
the spirit of prophecy and bad in
vision tue acts of Ulysses 8. Grant?
The career of President Grant
seems to havo been determined by a
purpose to familiarize the people with
tiie idea that their constitution was
effete and was to be abandoned. To
the administration of Grant and his
immediate courtiers we owo it that
corruption and cupidity lor dissipa
tion and sensual pleasure appears so
extensively in private and public life.
From his example and that of the
same duns, the predominance of in
ordinate desires for Budden aggran
dizement and hurried accumulations
of exorbitant wealth by any means,
howgrer illegitimate, has become
manifest. Our country is remarka
ble among ail nations for its corrup
tions, frauds and sensuality.
Corruption stands forth among the
Executive officers, among the mem
bers of the Cabinet, within the Sen
ate and House of Representatives,
and generally in official life. With
corruption have cornu the abandon
ment of the restraints of law, respon
sibility in administration, honesty in
respect to public expenditures, and
respect for the voice of the people or
the expressions of their opioiuu.
When it became known that Mr.
Tildeu’s election was dependent upon
his reception of a single vote from
South Carolina, Flondaor Louisiana,
this military chief acted as if those
Slates were in a condition of flagrant
insurrection. Troops were collected
from every quarter and hurried to
the places wnere Returning Boards
were to be in sessiou. Distinguished
politicians were detailed to go to the
same places; the most noted of the
lobbyists in the laud gathered about
the carcass as birds of prey. Strange
telegrams issued from high officers
of the Government as to the value ot
men and money to carry elections,
and in the end the capital of South
Carolina was occupied by the stand
ing army of theUuitod Siates.andthe
members of its Legislature could
only reach the State-House through
u body of soldiers. This miiitarv
man had revealed himself.
"Tli ruddy planet at bis birth bore away
Haujuiuo, adjust hi* humor, aud wild lira.
His ruling olemcut. Uago, reveage, aud cos.
Ding
Makeup the temper of this captain's valor."
The seent>B in South GaroHoa with
more atrocity reproduce those exhib
ited in Louisiana. Let us recapitu
late tlie event 8 in the last mentioned
State. On the 3d Decernber, 1872,
Packard had notice from Williams,
Attorney General, that the mandates
of the United States Courts wore to
bo enforced, with armed force
against all resistance. On the 6th
December, Packard Went at night to
Durell’s lodgings, and obtained his
private order to take possession of
the State-House and to get troops
rrom Gen. Emory. On the 7th the
Candidate Antoine obtained a re
straining orderfrom Dureii upon the
Governor, Secretary or State, mem
bers of the State Senate, members of
the Houso of Representatives, and
clerks of those bodies, that they
Were not severalty or collectively to
act with, recognize, register, vote,
associate with or have anything to
do with one another as legislators.
Unless with a certificate of a Return
ing Board that bad never seen or
handled a single return of the elec
tion, and who made up returns upon
surmises and conjectures, or desires
of their own.
On the 9th December, Packard’s
deputies, with the restraining order,
stood at the door of the State House,
and under them Antoine’s Legisla
ture was organized. This Legisla
ture impeached the Governor on the
10th and 11th December, called
Pinchback from private life, and he
officiated, first as Lieutenant Gov
ernor, and then as Governor, with no
other title than their recognition
gave. On the 12th December, Attor
ney General Williams communicated
the recognition of the Government,
and offered the use of the armv of
the United States to protect him and
the Legislature. No lawyer of any
rank denies that in every st ige of
these proceedings there was a breach
of constitution and law; there Was
usurpat ion, violence and tyranny, on
the part of the highest authorities
of the United States. There was
oppression and injustice to serve
an unprincipled and dishonest body
of adventurers. The KeHogg who
commenced these proceedings is the
same Kellogg who was concerned
with Bean, Detnas and Twiichell to
suppress the returns Of DeSoto
parish in 18J4,and toiuduoe Sheridan,
t<> oast forth the members of the Leg
islature in that year. He is the same
KeHogg fot jghom the .army of the
United Stalls and the Returning
Board, and dtettogUfahed visitors
have been invltM to confer a title to
choose a successor for Gen. Grant,
These are expected to congratulate
the |>eopleor the United States in
their happiness in fiudiugso honest,
truth-loving, capable an officer. A
considerable amount of fraud is to bn
pose of semiring his services and his
evample for the State.
President Grant, in 1872, corned hi*
infection or the Constitution uml the I*W
under tire pretext that he Was maintain
ing the lawful jurisdiction of a court of
justice. The people could condemn se
verely one who apparently supported
constituted authority. The sentiment of
respect for judicial firms and proceedings,
and submission to judicial orders, was
generally aud keenly felt, mid lew were
willing to suspect a President of a pur
pose to accomplish by ends and self-ends
under their shelter. The President em
ployed this sentiment of constitutional
submission as a means of striking u dead
ly blow lit the constitution. lie abused
the empty’forms of the court, perverted as
they were, to perpetrate injustice nnd
wrong, with all of their vital efficacy ab
stracted from them, to paralyse individ
ual patriotism and to maintain his para
sites and loots in power.
The South Carolina cose present* no
disguise, no accommodations with public
sentiments, and no c ire for consequences
to the country, to the Slate ot South
Carolina, nor the Republican party. He
ordersjthe army of the United States to
perform his behests as janissuries or
mamelukcs were ordered, and he despot
izes with the calm serene and assumed air
of a commander of the Faithful.
There is no doubt that a conjunction,
critical in its nature and effect, exists in
the country. We are gratelul that the
American "press is proving itself worthy
of its high vocation and great endow
ments. The people commanded their
Congress to make no law to abridge the
freedom of the press. The press is holden
to see that no act be done by President
or army to jeopard the liberties of the
people.
Some hearts are timid and apprehen
sive. Capital begins to take alarm and
men are becoming pallid and time-serr
ing. We address ail such in the language
of an old English poet, who nourished
the souls of Milton and Wordsworth, of
Pym and Hampden, of Russell and Syd
ney, of Chatham and Wolf, and thousands
besides:
“Fear Dtr.r wan lad argument ; yon do
Rea<en yourselves into s careful bondage,
Circumspect only to your misery.
1 eou and urge freedom, chapters, country, laws,
Gods and religion, and such precious names.
Nay, what you value higher, money ! but that
You sue lor bondage, yielding to demands
As impious H they're insolent, and have
Only this sluggish name—to rraiHii rur.x.l"
