THE DAILY TIMES. JOHN H. MARTIN, ... Editor. Coluinbux. OflU. SATURDAY IH7C. LARGEST CIRCULATION la Ik. Cmillm A4|aMa( t 4 TroJlno •( VWnaebMe. 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 tfhnaCt En<p\ —The bll on the*Presbyterku Church was painted yesterday. COMDENHRD GEORGIA NEWS. Rev. S. T. Fuller has boon re-elected pastor of the Baptist church of Hamilton for the ensuing year. —The Atlanta Oomiitutjm says that Urn arrested Col.J. W.

Mr. Howell called up the Senate bill as amended by the House to amend section 4J7 of the Revised Code, exempting homestead parties from using stamps on affidavits; passed.

Curried, and the bill was recommitted to the Judicia ry Committee. Mr. Brown, from Special Commit tee, reported favorably on Senate bill to secure more effectually competent jurors in the counties of Montgome ry, Lowndes, Dallas, Bullock, Perry and Autauga. Mr. Hubbard moved the previous question upon ordering the bill to a third reading forthwith, which was sustained, and it was read. After considerable debate, which was participated in only by Republi can members, the bill passed— yeas 62, nays 21. To regulate the collection of costs in criminal cases where defendants are sentenced to tho penitentiary. [Provides that criminals shall work a sufficient term to pay costs after the term of sentence has expired.] Pending consideration the House adjourned until 10 a. m. to-moarow. 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. —Charleston News. ~~ — ♦ i— ■ If you want good Blankets for little money, call on J.

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.
