THE DAILY TIMES. JOHN H. H.4KTIN, * * - KtflUtr. Coluiubua. 0- WEDNESDAY DECEMBER IS. 1876. —— LARGEST CIRCULATION la ikr Caaallaa A (Moron I • and Trndln* ill eolumbw. 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: TBIT* COUNT. Dem. Inti. Hop. Senate 20 l5 House 62 2 53 82 2 63 KBTURNJKU BOARD COUNT. Dem. Ind, ltep. Senate It l9 House 46 3 68 63 3 87 Democratic majority on true count, 12. 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. —i • ♦ "I am willing to risk my reputa tion as a public man,” wrote Edward Hine to the Liverpool Mercury, “if the worst case of small pox cannot be cured in three days, simply by the use of cream of tartar.

It has cured thousand ; never leaves a mark, never causes blindnes, and avoids te dious lifigerinfr;” 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.

A Dubuque girl played “Copen hagen” at a party the other night, and yelled, and shrieked, and howled, and ran behind the door, and scratch ed the young man’s faoe in seven places, and upset a kerosene lamp, and kicked over the piano-stool, and screamed for the police, ana finally, when he kissed her on the tip of the ear, she fainted dead away, and she could never look any one in the face again, and they led the modest bashful creature sobbing home. The next day she ran away with a married lightning-rod peddler, with a hare lip and six children. “Wbatdid the Puritans come to this country for?” asked a Massachusetts teacher of thisciass.

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.” Springer’s Opera House. Wctfiicstlay, lire. Kith. WHi.
