As far as beard from, Peter Cooper
has received 71,450 votes. His ban
ner Bute'was Illinois, where his vote
was 17.100.
Ur. FoKd, the enterprising theatre
manager, who is so well and favor
ably known at the South, acted with
his usual liberalty towards the saf
ferers by the Brooklyn Are. He gave
a performance in Washington city oh
Wednesday, the entire proceeds of
whloh were to be devoted to their
benefit, he paying all the incidental
expenses of the performance.
The Augusta Chronicle reports the
passage through its eity, on Sunday
and Monday, of seven companies of
United States troops for Colombia,
S. C. This is significant of more vil
lain; to keep the Chamberlain gov
ernment in possession of its ill-got
ten power. Perhaps General Grant
thinks it best to stir up a conflict in
the South before one occurs at Wash
ington, bo as to raise the cry of a
“new rebellion."
A Washington special to the New
York World, says that some Republi
can Congressmen are opposed to
"oouuting in” either Hayes or Til
den ; that they propose that Senator
Sherman be elected President of the
Senate, and act as President pro tem.
after the 4th of March; that a consti
tutional convention should be held
at as early a date as practicable, to
devise s new system for electing the
President and Vice President, and
that an election under this system
should take place in November next.
A Special dispatch of the 13th from
Columbia to the New York Herald
says that "the Congressional com
mittee has been retarded in its opera
tion by inability to force the colored
Secretary of the State to give up the
election returns. The committee has
made some startling discoveries, and
it is said that the returns of over 30
ballot boxes, which) give a Demo
cratio majoilty, are unaccounted for
In the returns of the canvassers, and
other irregularities are discovered to
suoh an extent as will probably elect
the entire Tilden ticken."
The New York Grocer compiles
the estimates of the coffee crop of
the several coffee-growing countries
for the present season, showing an
aggregate of 7,100,000 bags, to supply
a consumption whloh for last season
required 7,500,000 bags. The Grocer
says: “The statistical reports from
all the principal markets indicate
small stocks and poor assortments,
especially of the better grades. All
this, we think, points to a strong
market unless consumption should
be very much diminished—a contin
gency by no means probable. Of
course, there are likely to be tempo
rary periods of slight depression,
but the average prices for the pres
ent crop will not, we believe, fall be
low the present range of value, and a
margin of profit seems probable.”
LouisuiU.—The Indications are
there will again be two separate Leg
islatures and two Btate governments
in Louisiana. The Democratic mem
bers lately elected will meet by them
selves, acknowledging Nicholls as
Kellogg, it is said, will
aggravate the situation by refusing
to commission the lately elected city
Judges in New Orleans—the Radical
programme being for the Legislature
made by the returning board to
nb&ttShtheso Judgeships and create
new ones to be filled by appointment
of the Governor. One object of this
mote ts to prevent judicial interfer
ence with unlawful acts. Thus one
aggression and usurpation is to bo
piled upon another—all, no doubt,
supijprtcfcl by Federal bayonetn-un
til the|§4pH[ab(e people of Louisiana
will find the loaaof their oppressions
and wrongs greater than they can
hear.

(rUKINC PLAINER.
Our telegraphlo dispatches furnish
some more decided expressions in
reference to the result of the Presi
dential squabble than we have been
receiving. The Democrats of Indi
ana h*ve called a meeting of the peo
ple ait over the State and for a State
Convention. Their call, in its word
ing, uses the language of quiet but
determined men, who demand noth
ing but what they are justly entitled
to, and will take nothing less. We
hope to see this spirit manifested all
over the North, and the Democracy
of all of the States promptly taking
a position so firm and unyielding, but
at the same time so reasonable, as to
cower knavery and disarm injustice
and wrong.
The only thing noteworthy in Gov.
Hayes’ latest talk on the subject is
his declaration in favor of submission
to the decision of the "lawful author
ities.” But who are the "lawful
authorities” Gov. Hayes does not in
form us. We have been accustomed
to consider the people of the United
States, acting through their chosen
Electors, as the “lawful authorities”
to decide a Presidential election.
The people, so acting, chose 203
Tilden and IG6 Hayes Eleetors. By
the manipulations of the canvassing
boards and the disqualification of a
Hayes Elector in Oregon, the division
has been changed to 185 for Tilden
and 184 for Hayes. But there is still
a majority for Tilden, and yet Hayes
talks about a decision yet to be made
by “lawful authorities.” When
analyzed, it will be found that his
declaration amounts simply to an
avowal of his willingness to take ad
vantage of any fraud or usurpation
which may change the decision of
the people.
But the most remarkable declara
tion is that of Secretary Chandler, to
the effect that Hayes has been elect
ed, and his right to the position will
be maintained. Considering the
prominent part which Chandler took
in the canvass, and his nearness to
the throne, this declaration must be
considered an important one. It
sounds very much like a pre-judg
ment, and is not exactly consistent
with Hayes’ assertion that the yet
to-be-rendered decision of the “legal
authorities” is to determine the dis.-
pute. Chandler speaks for the power
controlling the army, and his lan
guage sounds very much like an in
tention to decide the controvesy in
the way in whioh it was decided by
the same power in South Carolina.
How [did Old Zack ascertain
that nayes was elected by “the will
of the American people”? Not by
the majority of the' popular vote,
surely, for a majority of 240,000 is on
the side of Tilden. Not by the Elec
toral vote, for that has already been
cast—lßo for Tilden, 184 for Hayes.
He must mean that he and those
whom he represents have resolved
that Hayes shall be President, and
they will use the power at their com
mand to effect It.
But perhaps Chandler and the Pres
ident are only playing the game of
bluff. They are perhaps presuming
greatly upon the tamebess exhibited
by the Democrats, and they are con
centrating bayonets and using big
words to prevent the exhibition by
the people of greater resolution. If
so, we hope that the action of the
Democrats of Indiana—whioh will
doubtless be followed everywhere
else—will show them that they can
not terrorize the American people
Into the abandonment of their rights.
In our opinion, if the friends of Til
den had sooner given expression to
their determination to contend fair
their rights, it would have been bet
ter. But it may not be too late yet,
tor they have so clearly the advan
tage in position and right that the
American people can hardly afford
to see popular government over
thrown by the sword taking whst the
ballot refused to give.

•OfTM CAROLINA.
Newspaper accounts, fuller than
those of the telegraph, show that the
situation at Columbia is getting more
difficult. The Mackey House could
get dp money from the treasury, but
Mackey Issued pay certificates,which
some thought would be redeemed by
money sent from Washington, and
others by contributions by the can
didates for U. S. Senator. But the
two Banks of the city readily cashed
the certificates of the members of the
Democratic House at sight -an act
attesting strong confidence that it
will ultimately lie recognized as the
only constitutional House.
Senator Robertson (Republican) in
declining a re-election by the Mackey
Legislature, very pointedly condemn
ed Its usurpation of illegal authority.
He declared that ho could not con
sistently with a regard for the rights
and dignity of the State, permit his
name to go before a body constituted
in defiance of its laws and judicial
tribunals, nor did he think that the
Senate of the United States would re
ceive him if thus elected. He said:
I am bound by consistency with all
my past official action, and by my
personal opinions and convictions, to
hold that it is the province of my own
State, having the same rights as the
most favored States in the Union, to
determine for herself the question of
the constitutional and legal charac
ter of her public officers. I know of
no other way of reaching a final con
clusion on such a subject, but that
through the determination of the
courts.
Asa citizen, believing that all se
curity for life and property rests in
obeying and supporting the judicial
authority of the State, I am constrain
ed to yield to the final decision of
this question by the courts. I should
not be worthy to represent my State
in the United States Senate if I did
not both respect the constitutional
rights of the State, and give to them
mv full efforts for their maintenance,
or if I failed to yield obedience to the
constitutional powers appointed by
the State for the determination of
such questions.
But the Mackey Legislature on
Tuesday, as if in mockery of this re
proof, “elected” Corbin, the chief
contemner of the judicial authori
ties of the State, United States Sena
tor.
The Democratic vote for Senator
was not an effort to elect, but only
an observance of the forms required
by a law of Congress, which calls for
a balloting on the second Tuesday of
the session and each succeeding day
until an election is effected.BEl
The Mackey House on Monday
adopted a resolution declaring Chief
Justice Moses’ seat vacant, on the
ground of his having accepted the of
fice of Professor of Law in the Uni
versity, and it was said that an at
tempt would be made to oust the Cir
cuit Judges also.
