The municipal election in Troy,
Ala., last week, resulted in the choice
of T. K. Brantley as Mayor; I. H.
Bowles as Clerk; and J. H. Morgan
os Marshal.
Memphis Appeal: Hon. Jefferson
Davis, who arrived In the city yester
day (rom Europe, will leave for Vicks
burg this evening. He has by bis
trip to the mother land renewed his
lease on life, is enjoying unusual
good health, and looks and bears
himself with all his wonted strength
and vigor. After a few days spent In
Vicksburg he will leave for New Or
leans, his business headquarters.
The Constitution prescribes a ma
jority of the whole number of Elec
tors appointed as necessary to eljct
a President. If, therefore, tho votes
of Louisiana, Bouth, Carolina, Flori
da or Oregon should be thrown out,
it would reduce the number of Elec
tors “appointed,” and Tilden’s sure
184 would be a clear majority of the
whole number of Electors “appoint
ed.” To defeat Tllden, tho Radicals
must “count” the vote of every con
tested State, and count them all for
Hayes.
The Baltimore Gazette's Washing
ton correspondent writes that Senator
Conkllng will shortly make a speech
in which he will maintain that Con
gress has the power to throw out
votes—to go behind the returns of
the Electoral College and examine
into the whole subject of tho election.
He will, moreover, maintain that tho
President of the Senate is a mere
ministerial officer, and that his duty
is solely to open the packages and
hand the contents to the tellers ap
pointed by the two Houses.
Br the amendments to tho Consti
tution, just ratified in North Caroli
na, a per capita tax for educational
purposes is imposed upon every able
bodied male citizen, and tho Legis
lature Is required to provide schools,
for at least four months in the year,
with competent teachers, for both
white and colored children. The
schools are to be separate, but as
much per capita is to be appropriated
toward the education of the colored
children as for those of white pa
rents. The Radical party, which
makes suoh big professions in favor
of public schools, opposed this
amendment.
The New Orleans Democrat shows
hew the Legislature of Louisiana
was made up to suit Kellogg, Grant
& Cos., as follows:

Republican majority on Returning
Board count, 21.
Senator Edmunds, of Vermont,
showed a little independence of par
ty, and manifested a desire to “disre
gard forms and decide the substan
tial right of the matter” in determin
ing who has been elected President,
in the debate in the Senate on Mon
day, Morton did not want this, and
tried to rally the Republican party
against it. It is believed that Sena
tor Oonkiing will take the same view
as Judge Edmunds. They are two
of the ablest Republicans in the Sen
ate. The vote on Edmunds’ consti
tutional amendment may give us an
idea of the extent and the nature of
the divisions in the Republican par
ty on this question. So far as the
Democrats are concerned, they know
that the people have fairly elected
Tiiden and Hendricks, and we would
not be surprised if they unanimously
take the ground that any measure
which gives discretionary power to
the Supreme Court or any other
tribunal to pronounce a different re
sult would virtually take the election
out of the hands of the people and
vest it elsewhere.
'We have received a letter from one
Jus. Mallory, who says that he has
beeti for the last ten months confin
ed in Fulton county jail on a false
charge of lunacy, without means or
change of clothing, and that he has
never been examined to determine
whether he was a lunatic or not. He
says that he wants the people of
Oeorgia to know that he demands a
trial for lunacy before the Ordinary,
or to be examined by a medical
board.
We do not publish bis letter as
written, because be makes a very se
rious charge against a gentleman of
high standing in Atlanta, and the
writer's status, according to his own
account, is not such as to justify us
in giving publicity to the charge on
such authority only. Bntweaskthe
Atlanta press to make sotoe inquiry
concerning this man Mallory, and if
he is really unjustly detained, as he
claims, let the attention of the prop
er officials be directed to his case.
We will add that his letter to us does
not bear any marks of lunacy, being
both calm and logical.

GRANT'S MIMTAUY DEHPOTIMM.
Gen. Grant’s administration has
been infamously noted for so many
aggressions on the rights of the
States and the people, that the enor
mity of his late interference in South
ern State ftf&lrs may not excite tho
indigtfhilon which It merfta. He has,
in reality, made himself the absolute
master of several of the States ~
either by the direct action of his sol
diery, or by their support of corrupt
and usurping Stato officials, chang
ing the character of their Legisla
tures, Imposing on them Executives
whom they had rejected, defying and
overthrowing their courts, and
changing the votes of tho people
themselves. Could any military des
pot do more than ibis? Is a more
autocratic government to be found
anywhere on earth? And yet ail these
things Gen. Grant has done in South
Carolina, Florida and Louisiana
within the last month.
Consider the facts. In South Caro
lina his soldiers took possession of
the State House in which the Legis
lature was about to assemble, refused
admission to a majority of tbe Rep
resentatives elect, and still refuse
them;admisslon though they now con
stitute not only a clear majority but
a constitutional quorum of the
House- a quorum made up of mem
bers to who 'se election even the
canvassing board certifies. Have the
American people considered the enor
mity of this conduct? The people of
South Carolina elected these Repre
sentatives; the canvassing board say
that every man of them was fairly
and rightfully elected.; the Supreme
Court of the State sustains them; but
Gqv. Chamberlain asks Grantto keep
them out of the Representative hall,
and Grant, by the use of his soldiers,
excludes them! Is this popular gov
ernment? Is ita republican form of
government, suoh as the United
States are bound to guarantee to each
State ? Is it not rather tho despotic
government of one man ?
The making In this way of Gover
nors and Legislatures for Southern
States is no new thing. It had been
done before in Louisiana, Alabama,
&c. But until recently the military
arm has never been so heavily laid
upon the Judiciary of the States. On
the contrary, in the Louisiana and
Arkansas political squabbles an at
tempt was made to justify the Feder
al military intervention on the plea
that it was to carry out decrees of
the State courts. But in both South
Carolina and Florida, within the last
month, contumacious Stato officials
have been encouraged and supported
by Federal soldiers in defying the
authority and disregarding the man
dates of the courts of their own
States! They have been assured of
release from punishment if they
would treat with contempt the con
struction of the laws of their States
by the couits of their States, and
execute in their stead the wishes of
the President of tho United States.
In this way the courts of South
Carolina und Florida have
been dishonored and made the sport
of scheming politicians and official
conspirators. Is this the way to re
press what they call “violence” in
the South, to inculcate obedience to
law, and to restore stability and or
der? It is rather tho breaking down
of the only tribunals that can do
these things. It is encouraging to
anarchy, to insubordination and ut
ter disregard of law and authority.
And it is all done for the purpose of
continuing in power Federal and
Stato Radical Administrations, in dis
regard of law, judicial authority and
the popular will.
It is a sad proof of our political
degeneracy that the people of the
UnltodStates, without distinction of
party and without regard to sections,
are not with one voice demanding
the immediate impeachment of Pres
ident Grant for these high crimes
anti misdemeanors.

WHY THE RETt HOARD
THREW OCT CERTAIN FOtiLM.
Not • Toll I* tho State Wonted—Every
One Thrown Oat Klecto Monao
Stdlenl or Other.
The Returning Board having given
an excuse for their conduct, lame
enough, iu throwing out certain
parishes and polls, wo propose to fol
low their example and show the
exact reason why every poll that
was cast aside was thrown out.
At first glance it would look as if
the Board had simply floundered
around like a bull in a china shop,
auxlous to throw out enough votes to
.lect Packard, the Radical State
ticket and the Hayes electors. This
is a serious error, the bourd acted ad
visably in throwing out each individ
ual poll; no poll wus .thrown out
simply on the ground of illegality,
irregularity or even intimidation, bui
for good and lawful ends. The Re
publicans made charges ugaim-t
about 300 polls, and then proceeded
to study the election figures closely
to see which of these polls it would
be most advantageous and profitable
to throw out, and the counting out
of which of them would elect the
most Radicals to office.
Of course tho polls thrown out
were thrown out in order to elect
Packard and Hayes, but the board
wished to do a little more than this—
to kill two birds with onestone. Thus
for instance, they might just as well
have elected Hayes with the vote of
Union, Bienville, Calcosieu, Clair
borne, Vernon and Sabine, and this
without throwing out a single Radi
cal vote, had not the Returning Board
seen that if these had been the par
ishes selected to be kukluxed they
would have gained nothing more
than the State Government and
Electors; the Legislature and Con
gressmen would still have been Dem
ocratic.
This fact must bo borne in mind in
studying the figures of the board. By
remembering it, one will be able to
see through what seems to be mere
eccentricities and oddities.
For instance, why should the Board
have thrown out that petty poll iu
Tangipahoa? Packard would have
beeu elected without; the Hayes Elec
tors without it. It did not affect the
district judge’s vote, or the parish
ticket. In fact, it looks at first sight
like a mere eccentricity, until one
thinks again that Nash needed just
this little poll to elect him to Con
gress ; then, at once, the strange con
duct of tho board is explained.
Why were those two polls thrown
out in Iberia ? Packard, Hayes, Dar
rall for Congress, the Radical parish
ticket, did not need these votes; they
were elected without them. But
then again just this poll was needed
to transform a Democratic Senator
into a Radical. That is why they
were thrown out.
Why was the vote of Richland, all
save one poll, thrown out ? The
Radical candidate for Senator had
3,000 majority already, the Radical
candidate for Congress 4,000, Packard
3,000, without Richland. It was im
possible to defeat the Democratic
parish ticket, because it had carried
every poll in the parish. But then a
closer glance will show that the 800
votes of Richland were needed to
elect a Radical District Judge and
District Attorney. That is why
Richland was ku-kluxed.
So Grant parish, small and insig
nificant as its vote was, it elected a
Radical District Judgo and District
Attorney by being tiirown out. A
poll with less than a hundred votes
votes in Natchitoches elected a Rad
ical Senator, District Judge and Dis
trict Attorney, and was therefore
thrown out.
Baton Rouge, East, Catahoula, De
Soto, Feliciana, East, Feliciana, West,
Grant, LaFayette, Morehouse, Oua
chita und Webster were bulldozed in
order to change seventeen Democrat
ic Representatives into Radicals and
capture the Legislature.
Caldwell was mutilated to electa
Railical Senator; Franklin and Rich
land, to elect a Radical District Judge
and District Attorney; Grant, also,
to elect a Radical District Judge auu
District Attorney; Iberia, to elect a
Radical Senator; Livingston, to elect
Nash to Congress ; Natchitoches, to
elect a Radical Senator, District
Judge and District Attorney; St.
Landry, to elect a Radical Congress
man, etc.
A close examination will show that
not a single poll was omitted from
disinterested motives or from any
pleas of intimidation; that not asin
glo poll was omitted that did not
elect some Radical to office. This,
and this only, was the ground for
throwing out these polls. By de
stroying the votes in each of these,
some Radical or other was elected to
office, as all Louisiana Radicals are
elected—not by votes, but by a lack
of votes.
“XOTHINtt SAVE Tit ACtl lESI’E!"
Ftbm tire Cincinnati Enquirer, 9th.]
Then what could the Democrats of
the House do? Nothing that would
not be in direct resistance to law,
save to acquiesce.” This is the taunt
ing message which the Cincinnati
Gazette, which advertises itself as
“the leading Republican newspaper
of the West.” sends to the Democrat -
ic House of Representatives of the
United States touehiug the counting
of the Electoral votes. It assumes
that the stupendous outrage upon
free government has been consuma
ted, that the rape of the Republic is
completed, and it says to the House
of Representatives, the Court of last
resort iu the electson of a President:
“You cannot help yourselves.” This
is representative of the attitude of
the Republican press und the Repub
lican party, which say to the Democ
racy with tantalizing haughtiness:
"W hat are you going to do about it?”
We take this opportunity to file upon
the “leading Republican news
paper of the West,” and upon
the Republican party, that the
House of Representatives will do
somethiug, “not in direct resistance
to law.” but in strict couformity with
law, “save to acquiesce.” Some
of the grave questions that will
arise have been discussed in these
columns, some are mentioned else
where ; but the proposition that the
House is powerless in this matter of
supreme national consequence is an
enormous heresy that may as well be
abandoned at once. If the House is
helpless the Senate is also voiceless,
and the President of the Senate is
the final Returning Board, and the
labor of millions of voters is thrown
away. He might as well appoint a
President at once, without the for
mality of an election. This doctrine
is too absurd and monstrous to win
an intelligent believer. The House
of Representatives has just sent some
ponderous committees to the States
that have been lawlessly seized—
which indicates that the “subsequent
proceedings” interest it, and that it
proposes to do something, “save to
acquiesce.” The House of Repre
sentatives, instead of being power
less, is king of the situation, within
the Constitution and the law. How
do the Republicans support their
statement that the House has nothing
to do, “save to acquiesce” ? They
quote a resolution adopted in 1801. as
follows:
“Resolved, That the House will at
tend in the Chamber of the Senate,
on Wednesday next at 12 o’clock, for
tbe purjtose of being present at the
opening and counting of the votes for
President and Vice President of the
United States: that Messrs. Rutledge
and Nicholas be appointed tellers, to
act jointly with the teller appointed
on the part of the Senate, to make a
list of the votes for President and
Vice President of tho United States
as they shall be declared; that the
result shall be delivered to the Pres
ident of the Senate, who shall an
nounce tho state of the vote, which
shall be entered on the journals, and
if it shall appear that a choice hath
been made agreeably to the Constitu
tion, such entry on the journals shall
be deemed a sufficient declaration
thereof.”
The Gazelle. says (incorrectly) that
“this form was continued in all sub
sequent, countings of Electoral votes”
until ttie adoption of the twenty
second joint title. It the House lias
nothing to do but to acquiesce, why
should it pass resolutions upon the
subject ? Why should It elect, agents
to “ deliver the, result of the vote to the
President of the Senate, acting with
hi agent on the part of the Senate ?”
Why, if the House has uothing to do
hut to acquiesce, should it have put
into this resolution, on which the
Republicans rely as a precedent, the
words : “ And if it shall appear that
a choice hath been made agreeably to
the Constitution, such entry on the
journals shall be deemed a sufficient
declaration thereof “Appear”—to
whom? Not the President of the
Senate, tor his power is exhausted
and his work done. After he has an
nounced the state of the vote as it
has been delivered to him by the
agents of the House and the Senate,
and after this has been entered on
the journals, it must, even according
to this precedent to which the Re
publicans appeal, “appear” to some
body “that a choice hath been made
agreeably to the Constitution.” We
venture the opinion that just here
tho House of Representatives has
properly something to say. Henry
Clay said, in a Joint Convention,
many years ago, “Of course uh: are
here to determine what are votes." No
President of the Senate has ever de
cided a question determining the
Presidency, and there is not in our
history a symptom of a precedent
showing the right of that officer to
determine the Presidency by determ
ining the count. It will be found, on
the second Wednesday of next Feb
ruary, that the House hus something
to do “save to acquiesce.”
