THE DAILY TIMES. JMN H. HAimr, • * - Columbua. da.. SUNDAY DECEMBER it. MTC. n..... ja'-'jioi. - ag"" LARGEST CIRCULATION la Ik* CMitlM *•< • - Trll *i ei*i>*. 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. 0 + - --■■■ 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. *. eoNBRNsn emeu nkw*. —The LaGrantpe Reporter says: “Ben Hill seems to be ahead for the United States Senate, R.

LKTTKRFROM WASHINGTON Ovorglu's Representatives. THn ranisrarv-HATU wiu. BE IXAVSVBATM. THE SILVER HILL. Morlu* Will Probably br President *f the Scant*. 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.

Its reports from Washington, especially, will be full, accurate and fearless; and it will doubtless continue to de serve and enjoy the hatred of 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 detend iug the rights of the people against the encroach ments of unjustified power.
