The Nashville American imper
tlnsntly suggests to General Gran)
that, In the absence of that coveted
astaatrn, he stab himself with a red
herring or cut his throat with a bar
of soap. The American thinks there
is not likely to be anything more
dramatic in the remaining eighty
two days of his administration.
A round wife was sentenced to the
work-house for one year, in New
York city on Tuesday, for trying to
throw vitriol into her husband’s face.
She was Jealous bl him, and tried
thus to destroy his good looks. He
dodged the caustic and received no
harm, made complaint, and the re
sult was her sentence an above. It is
hard to tell which of the parties
acted most unfeelingly. A better
sentence would have been their sej>a
ratlon.
Though continued baliotlngs for a
United States Senator by the Demo
cratio Legislature of South Carolina
are reported, the members have no
desire to elect any one now. They
are only balloting because a law of
Congress requires it. If they should
elect, as the Legislature is now con
stituted, the Radical Senator would
not admit their Senator. When the
Legislature is constituted in such a
way as to admit of no doubt of its
regularity, they will ballot In earnest.

We have heard suoh decided ex
pressions of opinion in reference to
our editorial leader of yesterday, as
to satisfy us that there is a general
concurrence in its views. The Dem
ocrats here think that it is time for
tha party at the North that supported
Tllden and Hendricks to indicate
their course plainly. If they Intend
to desert them at the critical junc
ture, their allies at the Houth ought
to know it beforehand. We have
home interests to protect and home
rights to re-establish, and if we can
not get Tilden, we want our section
to have a baud in influencing the
choice between the two or more evils
that may then be presented.
The result of the municipal election
la Boston on Tuesday last is very
cheering to the Democrats. The city
was carried last year by the Republi
cans, but they distrusted their own
strength this year and formed a coa
lition with the “Citizens” party. F.
0. Prince, the Democratic candidate,
is elected by a majority of about 2,500
over the coalition, and the Democrats
hare secured 11 of the 12 Aldermen,
the council being equally divided.
We earnestly hope that this great
change is due in part to the revolt of
the conservative portion of the Re
publican party against the fraudu
lent and revolutionary measures by
which their party Beek to plaee a de
feated candidate In the Presidential
chair.
Speculation as to the course of
Senator OoukliDg on the question of
counting the Electoral votes contin
ues lively. A special to the New York
Graphic la paper of Republican ten
dencies) says: "There are some vague
rumors here of the defection of Re
publican Senators headed by Roscoe
Oonkling, and It is said there is a
sufficient number to render the Re
publican majority powerless against
any action that the House may take;
that they regard the Louisiana elec
tion as fraudulent, and insist that
Mr. Tllden is honestly elected. If
there Should be a sufficient number
of these Senators to overooine the
Republican majority in the Senate,
Mr. Tiiden may yet be returned in*
stead of Hayes. It is known that
Gonkllng is preparing a speech, and
from the outgivings of his friends, it
is believed to be of a most important
character.”
Covkriij o Theib Traces.— Tho cor
respondence between the President
of the Western Union Telegraph
Company and Mr. Morrison, chair
man of the Congressional House
committee at New Orleans, shows
that the conspirators at Washington
and elsewhere do not intend to let
the country see how they carried on
their operations by telegraph. If
we understood President Orton’s
meaning, he decides that the messa
ges of Secretary Chandler, Cameron
and others will not he given up un
let both houses of Congress unite in
the demand for them. Such a de
mand is not probable, or if obtained,
it will be too late to answer all the
the purposes of the Investigation. ‘
The mere fact, stated by Mr. Orton,
that the Senate committee has not
called for the messages, is signifi
cant that the Republicans of the
Senate will not unite in the call.
They do not want them, and it their
concurrence is necessary, the Dem
ocratic House will not get them.
Unless we are greatly mistaken,
this course of the Telegraph Com
pany ie different from that which it
has pursued on {previous occasions.
We think that it has heretofore—in
the “crooked whiskey” and Babcock
cases—given up dispatches on the
oali of one branch of Congress. But
the dispatches then sought were not
of so much importanoe, in a party
sense, as those now refused.
We do not regard the plea of “con
fidence” In this case as a good one.
The messages called for are all of a
public character, and the persons
who sent them are Government of
ficials. There ought to be no privacy
about it,and no agencies ought to in
terpose to prevent the publicity of
acts so greatly affecting the rights
and interests of the people of the
United States. It is a case in which
overwhelming public interest should
outweigh any samples about a viola
tion of confidence, official or private.
"The Committee is absolutely consum
ing Its time, as I decline to answer any
3ueetion in reference to ray official oon
uct."
This language of J. Madison Wells,
of the Infamous Louisiana Returning
Board, Is the only herols declaration
of State Rights, publicly uttered,
since Lee’s surrender; herolo in view
Of the fact that it was made to the
House Investigating Committee, and
in all probability may draw along
with it signal punlshment-if, indeed,
State sovereignty died not at Appo
mattox, and the government hae not
crystallized into a one man power,
and become the yielding slave of an
"automatic” ruler.
A singular revolution of politics
that the destroyers of the fundamen
tal principle of the Federal Union
States’ rights should appeal to Its in
tegrity and inviolability to sustain
the last act Id the drama for crush
ing State independence: For, says
Wells, "we are answerable only to
the State legislation and to no other.”
A sentiment boldly uttered, stirring
the sympathy of every States’ right
partisan iu the land.
It is one of those peculiar develop
ments in political history that should
give hope and encouragement to the
patriot and lover of right, in that it
shows there is no principle so fixed
by any wager of battle or legislative
enactment that time and occasion
may not reverse it. A hope in this
Instance, not of early fruition.
The reversion comes often in the
pursuit of violence, of infamous fraud
and wrong, as in this instance, and
the malignant throttlera of justice are
thus forever to be the apostles of
principles they have attempted to
crush.
There might even be cheer and
hope inspired, as the immediate re
sult of the recusatory position of
Wells, Anderson & Cos., did they
really represent a function of the
legal Government of Louisiana, but
they know, and all know they are
part of only a dc facto government
and by sufferance under the strong
protection of that branch of the gen
eral government that holds the key
to the situation—lta own creation,
a power that sets aside all law, all
precedent. Why return at this junc
ture to the crushed doctrine of States
rights- In her extremity—at this
artlcuto mortis reipubUcce to
sustain this disfranchisement of a
great State, a free people? It is a
mocking gleam of sunlight while the
fatal storm is gathering. Part of the
wreck shall float upon the troubled
waters, part lie on the still deserts of
the unfathomed deep-a mocking
charm, the last hiss of the venom
ous serpent before he plunges his
deadly fang into his victim. The Re
public is gone 1 Liberty is wounded
in the house of her friends—the as
sassins stand round with their drawn
daggers and mock their bleeding
victim with praises of that virtue
which they have raped. *.

Special Correspoadesce Tnnu.l
Washington, Deo. 13, 1676.
The arrival to-day of Hon. W. E.
Smith fills the Georgia delegation—
eveiy one of them being now in at
tendance, and what is more, they
are all nearly always in their seats,
except perhaps for a few minutes at
a time. Comparatively speaking,
Georgia has got the best delegation
in Congress. There is not one of
them who does not stand high in the
estimation of both Democrats nnd
Republicans.
The New York Herald of to-day
has a two column interview with Mr.
B. H. Hill. The Democrats are
pleased with his liberal sentiments—
I mean the Northern Democrats, for
they are the ones to be governed by.
The Houth has got but little to say,
one way nor another. Mr. Stephens
is in his seat every day. He con
verses quite freely—sometimes ani
mated, and frequently laughs. All
eyes are turned towards him while
being borne in a chair to his seat by
his two servants.
WHO WILL BE PRESIDENT ?
I deem it now a foregone conclu
sion that Rutherford B. Hayes will
be President. This conclusion has
been arrived at after mature deliber
ation, and I may add, from having
talked with some of the loading lie
publicans and Democrats.
WHV ?
These are the reasons the how and the
wherefore that make me say this :
Republican politicans say it would
be a calamity to have Gov. Tilden
inaugurated President. This leaves
out what the Democrats sayortbink.
The Senate says the 22d Joint Rule
is not in force; this leaves out what
the House may say or do about it.
The Constitution provides that the
Hoilse may elect a President when
ever therejs a failure to elect one by
the other constitutional methods.
This provision for the House to elect
was undoubtedly provided to meet
the contingency wherein there was
clearly no election by a majority of
the people of the Union as expressed
through a majority of the Eleotoral
College. Now if there were three or
more candidates and neither one had
a majority of the votes of the Electo
ral College, then the House might
elect. Now, there are two candi
dates—Hayes aud Tilden. One or the
other has got a majority. It has
been so arranged that Hayes will get
a majority of the Electoral vote. It
makes no difference to the Senate
whether the House comes in to see
the Electoral vote “opened by the
President of the Senate” or not.
They will declare Hayes elected; and
it the House elects a President, they
will be declared revolutionary. This
Is the stage of the drama where
President Grant’s army comes in.
Full cast of characters, with all the
scenic effects. Tableaux: Grant, Dic
tator; and, probably, Hayes at the
head of his Senate. But I look for
them to put Hayes in peaceably. The
Houth can not resist; the North will
not resist; and the West don’t care.
Thus is the Presideutial muddle set
tled. The Senate are masters of the
situation; and, with the wonderful
brain of Gov. Morton—who, by the
way, so I learned confidentially to
day, will be made President of the
Senate, and will be the one to "open”
the Electoral vote—they will maiutain
it.
The committee of the Democratic
caucus who are to devise a plan and
policy for action, will report in secret,
and ail the members be pledged to
keep it secret, in a day or two. Then,
and not until then, will the Demo
crats act. We will see now whether
the Democrats can keep their line of
action a secret, even after they have
so determined and pledged them
selves to do. I say not.
THE SILVER BILL.
Politics being out of the way, the
House got to work to-day, and in a
short time passed the Silver bill by a
large majority. No doubt two-thirds
could have been obtained for it. This
is straDge. To remonetize silver—as
this bill does—is no doubt the wish
of three-fourths of the people of the
Union. The contraction of the cur
rency at the rate of $20,000,000 a
month, this for the purpose of re
suming specie payments in 1879, and
the demonetization of silver, is really
the principal and almost sole cause
of these distressingly "hard times.”
This Democratic majority of 73 knew
it, and presented this bill, known as
the Silver bill, as the remedy. All
but a few Democrats voted for it.
Mr. Hewitt made a speech against its
passage. All the Georgia delegation
voted for it, except Mr. Chandler.
Now, last session ibis bill was filli
bustered for nearly two months, yet
the same members“chuck”it through
to-day with much gusto. They then
held back on this non-contraction
policy, went down to St. Louis,
adopted a hard money platform, and
nominated a man who to-day would
veto the bill they have passed with
such singular unanimity. The
bondholder makes money by con
traction and the demonitization of sil
ver, and there are Democratic as well
as Republican bondholders. Gov.
Tildeo and'Mr. Hewitt are among
them. The Senate will not pass this
bill; if it does President Grant will
veto it. There is no chance of de
monetizing silver, nor of knocking
the props from under contraction;
notwithstanding three-fourths of the
people, or all. nearly, who are nou-j
bondholders are in favor of so doing
—a# has been evidenced by the vote
of their Representatives. And hence,
hard times, stringency in the money
markets, will continue. Further
more, property depreciates in value
proportionate with contraction of
the currency. So look out for squal
ly times. But there need be no un
due excitement.
Congress will adjourn for a few
days during Christmas. There is
now not much indication of there
being a called session. There will
be about three or perhaps five Dem
ocratic majority in the next House.
Dr. Felton, of the 7th District, is
preparing a speech. He is highly
elated over the passage of the silver
bill. Mr. Conkllng, a liberal man,
is also preparing a big speech. It
was warmer to-day than for several
days past. M. E. T.
A Jlfw Outlook at naohluEton.
THE IIKOTHKHR SHERMAN LOOMING UP IN
TnE FRONT.
Special Dispatch to the World.)
Washington, December 12.— There is
good deal of quiet cogitation going on
heie among the more far-siglited men of
both parties as to the attitude and inten
tion or two personages who bid fair to
play a much larger part in the political
drama now unfolding than lias been
hitherto suspected. These are Senator
Sherman, of Ohio, and bis brother, the
General, Commander in-Chiif of ihe
Army. Senator Sherman, as the World
advised its readers two days ago, is now
hard at work to secure the displacement
of Senator Ferry nnd his own selection as
President of the Senate. It is well known
that Mr. Hayes is wax in Sherman’s
hands. It was Sherman who first sug
gested the candidacy of Hayes eighteen
months ago, aud he fields over him the
power of a keen, cold, unscrupulous in
telligence over a weak and well-intention
ed nature. If Sherman Is made Presi
dent of the Senate he will take pains to
prevent any official declaration of the
election of Hayes or Tilden, and he will
do tliis in the interest of nobody but him
self and his brother. Neither Senator
Sherman nor Genera! Sherman has any
respect or liking for President Grant. In
fact i: is notorious that they both despise
him. If no regular declaration of a Presi
dent is made, or if two Presidents are
declared, Senator Sherman at noon on the
4th of March wdl claim to be, as Presi
dent of the Senate, which is a continuing
body, acting President of the United
States. His brother will be, by force of
law and of his position, the highest officer
of the United States artny. On the last
stroke of the clock Grant will become a
private citizen, with no more legal author
ty over any officer or soldier of the army
than the hall-boy at the White House. If
he presumes to exercise any authority
General Sherman will deal with him as
remorselessly as he would with a drunken
drummer or a riotous cabman. Any offi
cer or soldier in Ihe nr my who ventures to
obey an order emanating from anybody
but acting Vice-President Sherman,
through General Sherman, will be dealt
with in like manner. The forms of law
will all be with Sherman, and the expec
tation (who shall say the unreasonable ex
pectation?) of their triends is that the
alarmed conservative sentiment of the
country will rally to their support instant
ly and overwhelmingly.

the law does not give them, while it will endeavor
to merit the confidence of the public by detend
