THE DAILY TIMES. JOHN H. MARTIN, • • ■ Edllor. Columbu< U.. FRIDAY DECEMBER K W 6. ■■■• . is'i- 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 Under the uniform prece dent, therefore, the twenty-second joint rule having been rescinded by but one House is now in force, and covers, of course, the counting of the Electoral vote in February.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. m mr . WW i A M . l 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 tain cases. Mr. MoKieroy, from Committee on Education, reported favorably on bill if WBFg&zz Also, adversely, on bill to amend section 1 of an act to establish, or ganize and regulate a System of pub lio instruction in this State. Con curred in. The House adopted, by a vote of 58 to 30, a resolution to take a recess from the 15th inst. to the 9th of Jau* uary—the Judiciary Committee hav ing reported that the members would We entitled to mileage going home nndfeturning. 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 Auditor. 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" ( OMIt\Sl:ll it KOl.
