The Senate'* committee is investi
gating to see if a Democratic Eiecto
nl tote in New Jersey, and another
in Missouri, cannot be thrown out on
the ground of ineligibility. This is
“going behind the Cover a ore’certifi
cates,” and shows that the Radicals
ready to abandon their late
Im that this canqpt beyloDe, when
they hope to profit by doing it.
Thebe is, says the Mobile Register,
a small Democratic majority elect to
the next House, but the Republican
conspirators propose to overthrow it
by packing into the hall tljp unelect
ed Republican candidates from the
South who come with credentials from
the Republican Governors. This will
reproduce at Washington the scene
enacted at Columbia last week and at
New Orleans two years when
the army took it upon itself to decide
who were members of the South Car
olina and Loulsiaua Legislatures and
who were not. The conspirators are
not doing their work by halves: they
need a counted-in House to support
their counted-in President, and they
will have it If they can.
The people will reward with their
votes that party which now displays
moderation and care for their peace.
Whichever party endangers the pub
lic quiet for the sake of placing its
candidate in the White House will
be damned by publlo opinion and
driven out of existence.— Washington
Nation.
The Nation does not consider that
Cen. Grant is “endangering the pub
lic peace” when, after using the army
in the States for the purpose of se
curing Electoral votes for Hayes, he
draws his soldiery to Washington to
compel Congress to submit to bis
mode of carrying elections. But let
the Democratic House of Represen
tative# propose any energetic or ef
fectual measursos to maintain the
right of the people and vindicate the
constitution, and the cry is raised
that the Democrats are “endanger
ing the public quiet.” The theory Is
that the President is absolute, and
the people revolutionary if they stand
in his way.
Too Honkst tor Them.— John A.
Long, of DeSoto parish, La., has
written a letter to the Radical return
ing board of that State, which ought
to make them hide their bns&jarcases
from the sight of men under the deep
waterß of the Mississippi river.
Long was one of the defeated Re
publican candidates for the Legisla
ture whom they fraudulently "count
ed In.” But he has written a manly
and stinging letter declining to ac
oept the position to which he knows
that he has no right. Ho says that
he knows he was “(airly defeated at
the polls,” and that "there was no
intimidation or fraud practiced by
the opposition party at any precinct
in the parish”; therefore his Belf
respect will not allow him to accept
the position. Long also says that
he Is convinced that much of
the disturbance that has prevailed
in the State for several years past is
duetothefaet that “in many par
ishes men not elected by the people
have been returned and maintain
ed in office by the power of the gov
ernment,”
There is no doubt that in all or
nearly all the parishes whose votes
the returning board threw out or re
versed, the election of the Demo
cratic candidates was us fair and
peaoeful as hong says it was in De
Soto. It Is to behoped that the
Congressional investigating commit
tee will be able to get testimony
fully proving this.
The Scarcity of sneer Carnage.
The Chicago Tribune complains of
the scarcity there of silver change,
it says:
At one bank at whloh Inquiry was
made on Friday, the orders on hand
from country banks for silver
amounted to *12,000, of which only
*3,000 could be ptocured; another
bank had orders for $20,000 of silver,
of which they could fill only $2,000;
and still another bad orders on hsna
for SIOO,OOO, on which there had been
forwarded the first $2,000 that the
bank had been able to get hold'of for
several weeks. At the brokers'office
in this city 3 per cent premium is
charged for silver, and it is soaree at
that. The country bankers are unani
mous in their statements that the
silver they pay out does not get into
circulation. They have had to aoie
it out by quarters and halves to their
customers, and the latter experienc
ing the difficulty of getting It, have
naturally determined to keep it for
the present. Asa result, there is al
ready great trouble lu the country in
making change, and suohas "Have
mercy on us and send us some
are received, daily by
Tills result of the silly attempt to
substitute silver for the fractional
currency before bringing tfio green
backs up to par, was foretold months
ago.
Washington DUiuurti to Ikt bavannali
Slew*.
The political situation is in no re
aped* relieved of its multitude of
complications. Southern members
freely admit that the only hope for
Tildaa is in the substantiation of his
claim to the electoral vote of any or
all of the three contested States. If
the investigating committees report
positive evidence of fraud in the ma
nipulation of returns by the Radical
returning boards, the House will in
sist upon counting the votes of these
States for Tilden. But the Radicals
are encouraged to resort to extreme
measures to insure the counting In of
Hayes by the assurance that Grant
will back them with all the power at
his command. It is the appreciation
of this fact that warranted Mr. Ben
HilLin his reported interview with
the Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald, in expressing the
conservative yiews attributed to him.
Asa choice between Grant and
Hjtyes, he had no hesitation in de
clarlng for the latter. But he does
not yield a moiety of Tilden’s claim,
nor abate one grain or his conviction
that he is elected.
THE RADICAL PROGRAMME.
WHY IRE THE DEMOCRATS SO SLOW ?
Home of our-Democratic friends are
that Gov. Tilden will
bcinaugur;i' nnd
tlx; country Imppiiy nod peacefully
Wd of We would tnat
weoould share their confidence, but
candor compels us to admit that we
do not. Our fears are not based upon
any distrust of the justice of our cause,
or any doubt that we have the stron
gest position both as regards legal
forma and the much greater dolma
of equity and right. Rut they are based
upon the fact that the Radical par
ty, backed by the administration now
in power, has already a well de-
fined plan of proceeding for declar
ing the elcotion of Hayes, and a
brute power ready to enforce it which
the Democrats are not prepared to
resist, and are making no prepara
tions to resist. On the contrary, if
the Democrats have any settled
course of procedure in the inevitable
event of a split between the two
houses of Congress when they are
counting tbe votes and declaring the
result, we are not informed of it. A
letter from Washington to the New
York Worltl, which we copy else
where, is suggestive only of a lack of
agreement, and of a resolution
to keep quiet and move slowly,
which, in the present stage of the
conflict, and in view of the evident
determination and plain preparations
of the other party, seems to us like
fatal inactivity. We believe that if
the Democrats had formed their
plans and made known their resolu
tion to inaugurate Tilden, weeks ago,
the other party would not presume
so strongly on their quiet submission
to any outrage, and would not be so
bold in the announcement of their
purpose to install Hayes peaceably or
by force.
We have said above that the Radical
programme for “counting in” Hayes
has been definitely arranged. Wo
Indicted it in an editorial of tbe Bth
Inst., when he said : “The President
of the Senate will have two returns
from Oregon, and the Radical major
ity in the Senate will take care to
elect a President of that body who
will present only the votes for Hayes
in all contested cases.” The New
York Times now distinctly avows
that this will be the course of its
party—that the President of the Sen
ate will produce, not the vote of tbe
Oregon Electors certified to by
the Governor, but the three votes
cast for Hayes by Postmaster Watts
and his colleagues. And the Wash
ington Nation (which claims to be an
Independent), alluding to this mode
of electing Hayes, says: "There can
then be but little doubt remaining
that Rutherford B. Hayes will be in
augurated President of the United
States on the 4th of March. The
country will permit no bloodshed.
The Ifcpublicacs have possession of
the Government, and therein the
Democrats are at a disadvantage; in
asmuch as they must place them
selves in an aggressive position if
they seek to prevent the inaugura
tion of Mr. Hayes. The country will
permit no appeal to arms upon the
question, as Senator Edmunds ex
presses it, “who shall appoint the
postmasters for the.next four years?”
It remains, then, for the Democrats
to acquiesee quietly in the result.”
The coolness with which we are
thus told that there is no alternative
but a quiet submission to the usurpa
tion of the Government by the party
defeated in the election!,is astonish
ing. But the Radical party generally
talk in the same strain. They are
relying upon the army of the United
States to do what it never did before—
impose a President upon the country.
And Gen. Grant’s preparations, as
well as his Conduct in all Southern
State disputes about elections, show
beyond all doubt that he expects to
have a part to perform and will per
form it unscrupulously.
While the Radical plan and prepa
rations are thus clearly revealed, the
Democrats of the North are just begin
ning to move—calling meetings and
conventions to determine upon a
plan of action. Some determined
expressions come from Western
Democrats, but, as the World says,
the Democrats of the North and East
are impassive and procrastinating.
They appear to be more solicitous
that the South should "keep quiet”
than to head off the Radical game.
There is not the slightest danger that
the Democrats of the South will do
any else than "keep quiet.” They un
derstand their status in the Union
too well to give the Radicals a pre
text for raising the ory of a “new re
bellion.” But, as we have said here
tofore, tho people of the South have
still left the right to judge of the
value to them of a Northern party al
liance after it has proved itself utter
ly incompetent to restore to them the
blessing of local home rule and con
stitutional government.
The Military Mystery.
Washington, Dec. 12.—1 called on
General Sherman to-night to ask
him to deny or affirm the report that
General Hancock had been ordered
to San Francisco, Gen. Sheridan to
New York to relieve him, and Gen.
McDowell to Chicago to relieve him
('Sheridan.) He was bluff but courte
ous.
Said he: “The report of these
changes originated in Albany. Now,
don’t you think that city a strange
place from which arniy changes
should emanate?’’
“Confessedly so,” I replied.
“Well,” said the General, "the
Albany origin of these changes would
smack of about asmuoh interest if
the dispatch announcing them was
dated April Ist”
This is General Sherman’s state
ment. It may or may not be true.
He denied that the troops were
ordered to the Capitol, when in fact
they were within gun-shot of the
Goddess of Liberty on its dome. The
impression here is that Hancock is to
be sent far enough away, to be out of
reach of the National Capitol.— dn

A Rhain Senator.
Mr. David T. Corbin, who was elect
ed United States Senator by the Sen
ate and the illegal House of Repre
sentatives yesterday, is the most suc
cessful Radical politician in South
Carolina, for his career has been
steadily onward, while every other
prominent person in the party has
alternated between the clouds aud
the gutter. Early in the Reconstruc
tion period he wa3 simultaneously
United States District Attorney,
State Senator, Corporation Counsel of
Charleston, and Codifier of the laws,
and whatever he touched turned to
greenbacks. Every public office he
held proved profitable, but the most
profitable is that of District Attorney,
with its rich harvest of political pros
ecutions. In one way or another he
has become exceedingly wealthy, and
what he makes he keeps.
Like others, Mr. Corbin hits his
spasms of reform. In 1872 he'lided
with the Orr Republicans, and his
Greenville address, in which he laid
bare the delinquencies of Chamber
lain and others, furnished him polit
eal capital for some time. Under the
State government he has held no
office since 1870, and it is known that
he was bitterly opposed to the judi
cial iufamy of Black Thursday, and
to the nomination of Elliott and
others by the Republicans last fall.
But Mr. Corbin does not allow small
scruples to stand in his way, when
the crew whom he first hugged and
then flagelated need his services.
His is the audacity which gives cour
age to the Columbia Radicals. Mr.
Corbin’s bull-dog tenacity has stood
the rogues in good stead during the
past month. To Chamberlain he is
what the hammer is to the rapier.
He has earned his fee.
The empty title he has won is,
doubtless, gratifying to him; but it
is a fortunate thing for the country
that his election will not stand the
test of even partisan scrutiny. In the
United States Senate, in every quali
ty that makes them dangerous to
the Republic, Mr. Cobin would be
the peer of the Mortons and Logans
and Blaines. Callous, rough, brutal
in the discharge of his duties, and
bold in the extreme, he would not
hesitate, on a pinch, to serve the Su
preme Court of the United States
with the military sauce provided for
the Supreme Court of South Carolina.

THE SUN.
1877. NEW YORK. 1877.
The different editions of The Sun during the
next year will be the same as during the year
that has just passed. The daily edition will on
week daya be a sheet of four pages, and on Sun
days a sheet of eight pages, or 56 broad columns;
while the weekly edit,on will be a sheet of eight
pages of the same dimensions and character that
are already familiar to our friends.
The Sun will continue to be the strcnuouß ad
vocate of reform and retrenchment, and of the
substitution of statesmanship. wisdom, and
integrity for hollow pretencdPimbecility and
fraud in the administration of public affairs. It
will contend for the government of tbs people
by the people and for the people, as opposed to
government by frauds In the ballot-box and in
the counting of votes, enforced by military vio
lence. It will endeavor to supply Its readers—a
body not now iar from a million souls—with the
most careful, complete and trustworthy accounts
of current events, and will employ for this pur
pose s numerous and carefully selected staff of
reporters and correspondents. Its reports from
Washington, especially, will be full, accurate and
fearless; and it will doubtless continue to de
serve and enjoy the hatred df those who thrive
by plundering the. Treasury or by usurping what
the law does not give them, while it will endeavor
to merit the confidence of the public by defend
ing the rights of the people against the encroach
ments of unjustified power.
The price of the Daily Sun will be 55 cents s
month or $6.50 a year, post-paid, or with the
Sunday edition $7.70 a year.
The Sunday edition alone, eight pages, $1.30 a
year, post-paid.
The Weekly Suw. eight pages of 56 broad col
umns, will be furnished during 187 T at the rate
of $1 a year, post-paid.
The benefit of this large reduction from the
f>revious rate for the Weekly can be enjoyed by
ndividual subscribers without the necessity of
making up clubs. At the same time, if any of
our friends choose to aid in extending our circu
lation, we shall be grateful to them, and every
such person who sends us ten or more subscrib
ers from one place will be entitled to one copy of
the paper for himself without charge. At one
dollar a year, postage paid, the expenses of paper
and printiag are barely repaid; and, considering
the size of the sheet and the quality of its con
tents, we are confident the people will consider
The Weekly Bun the cheapest newspaper pub
lished in the world, and we trust also or e of the
very best.
