The New Orleans Times says the
swamps in Louisiana are drier than
they have been for thirty-five years.
A man may ride on horseback, or a
wagon may bo driven, through tracts
of country heretofore Impassable
within the memory of man.
Cincinnati Enquirer of Saturday:
When the evidence is finally sum
med up and it is shown that Mr. Tlldon
has been fairly elected President of
the United States, we are in fuvor of
inaugurating him regardless of ex
pense.
A correspondent of the Cinoinnati
Eoquirer states that Ex-Secretary
Bristow declared on the streets of
Louisville, on Thursday last, that
the Presidential muddle would be
settled “without war,” because “the
Democrats are too cowardly to fight
and will all back down.”
Texas is experimenting in sugar
culture at many points. Several
small but successful efforts have
been made this season in the country
lying betweon Houston and Galves
ton and the Sabine. They have cul
tivated the striped Otahelto or ribbon
cane, which seems to be the only va
riety in vogue with the Texans.
New Yorkers are greatly concerned
at the steady decline in the grain re
ceipts at New York. She has receiv
ed 7,000,000 bushels less this year
than last. She now handless only
forty-six per cent, of the whole grain
trade of the country. It has fallen
off fifty-eight per cent. Baltimore
has reaped the benefit of the diver
sion,
Chicago Times : —lf Governor Kel
logg, the returning board having ad
journed, isn’t particularly busy just
now, wouldn’t it be fit and proper
for him to hunt down the assassins
of Eliza Pinkston’s husband and
babe and bring tho scoundrels to
justice? It Is his duty to take care
that the laws are faithfully executed.
Why doesn’t he act? Or is he too
well acquainted with tho real facts
In tho Pinkston business?
Mr. Ham, of Maine, admitted, on
Friday last, that the Returning
Board of Louisiana were acting under
advice from Washington in refusing
to obey the summons of the Con
gressional committee. The power at
Washington, which thus interposes
to prevent the Representatives of the
American people from ascertaining
whether frauds have beeu practiced
in the election of a President, is cer
tainly too great or too despotio for
our republican form of government.
The New Orleans Democrat sqys
that, strange as it may sound, yet it
is true that in the twenty-four ku
kiuxed parishes, whoso votes have
been tampered with by the Returning
Board, BGI more Radical votes were
cast this year than were cast in 1874.
Tho Democratic increase in these
same parishes was 4208, showing u
total increase of 5,159 votes in the so
called bulldozed parishes. There was
apparently no lack of voting.
Morton, according to report, has
gone to anew locality to hunt up
the "bloody shirt” and evidences of
a "new rebellion.” A Washington
dispatch of Saturday night, of the
American Press Association, says:
"The statement is published that the
sudden visit of Senator Morton to In
diana, i3 for the purpose of Inquiring
into the rumor that secret organiza
tions of a military character are being
formed in Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and
Wisconsin, having for their object
the inauguration of Gov. Tilden
Letters, it is stated, have been re
ceived here setting forth that enlist
ments were being made for suoh or
gan izatiens, and that Mr. Morton bus
gone West to satisfy himself of the
truth or falsity of tho statement by
personal investigation.”
The bill which passed the House of
Representatives last week makes the
silver dollar an unlimitod legal ten
der. We are glad that it reoeived
the vote of nearly all the Southern
members. That it will facilitate a
resumption of specie payments we do
not doubt, for it adds another and a
large factor to the amount of coin
available for that purpose. It will
also check speculation in tbe value
of silver. But the bill has yet to pass
the Senate and receive the Presi
dent’s approval, or be again passed
over his veto. It passed the House
by a vote of 167 to 53—indicative of
the necessary two-thirds vote in case
of a veto. But th© President is said
to be opposed to the bill, and it is
very doubtful whether a two-thirds
vote for it can be obtained in the
Senate.
♦ s
- editor of the Early County
News appears to be suffering from
what Toney Lurnkin called a "conea
teuation accordingly.” He took the
promise of some of bis subscribers to
pay him in corn; on the strength of
that promise he bought a few hogs,
corn being cheap, and pork likely to
bring the better price. He expected
to fatten bis porkers with the corn
obtained from those contracting sub
scribers. and counted on a steady in
flow of the grain and high living on
back bone, spare rib and sausage.
But, alas for editorial credulity I the
corn was not brought in, and instead
of fattening, the hogs are starving.
The editor pathetically describes
their squealing for food as horrible,
and makes frantic appeals tor the
corn. We wish our unlucky brother
a safe deliverance and much future
profit by experience.
URANT WILL. OBCIOK IT I
The extraordinary languago of
President Grant reported to us by
telegraph, and which we are told
may be implicitly relied upon as his
utterance, will not startle the country
now’ as it would have done on the
occasion of any previous contest for
the Presidency. He has for weeks
been Interfering in the Presidential
contest in a manner and by instru
mentalities which showed bis deter
mination to have his way in the
matter, no matter whom the people
wished to elect.
His present declaration that
he will Install the man whom the
President of the Senate proclaims to
be elected may be accepted as evi
dence that he and "the party which
ho represents” are perfectly agreed
as to tho man whose election the
President of the Senate will proclaim.
The plot against the people will be
carried out in spite of all impedi
ments of form, law or right.
Gen. Grant’s declaration that the
decision of the contest rests wlj.h the
President of the Senate (for it
amounts to that) is contemptuously
offensive in view of measures pend
ing in Congress. The House has in
structed its Judiciary Committee to
report as to the powers of the House
In counting the votes, and both
branches of Congress have agreed
to raise a joint special com
mittee to devise some ac
ceptable means of making
the count and declaring the result.
While this is going on in Congress,
the President makes public declara
tion that he will look only to the an
nouncement of the President of the
Senate,and will install the man whom
that officer pronounces the President
electl The declaration is an Insult
to Congress and a usurpation of the
powers of the people. It arrogates
to the President judicial, legislative
and executive powers, with the army
of the United States in hand to en
force his decrees.
It is now settled that any step
which the House of Representatives
may take to maintain the rights of
the people against fraud or violence
will be of no avail. It is settled that
any "snap judgment” which the
President of the Senate may take in
counting Irregular votes from Oregon,
or in refusing to entertain objections
for fraudulent votes from Louisiana,
South Carolina or Florida, will be
sustained by the President. The
declaration of the President is an in
vitation to the President of tho Sen'
ute to make the desired announce
ment, with the assurance that the
Executive power willbaok it. Thus
Gen. Grant cuts the Gordian knot,
and cuts it with the sword.
This declaration ought to force
upon the Northern and Western sup
porters of Tilden and Hendricks the
stern contemplation of the issue
wtiich they have to meet. They beat
their opponents in the popular elec
tion ; they triumphed over the frauds
and rascalities of the returning
boards in securing a majority ol the
Electoral vote; but they have yet to
confront President Grant with the
army at his command and within
bis call, with the additional extraor
dinary assumption of power to call
out the State militia. He grasjp at
the powers of tho Governors of the
States, as well as assumiug upon
himself all the powers of the
Federal Government. A more
arbitrary ruler is nowhere to be
found. Professing great desire for
peace, and censuring political “ex
citement” and "agitation” as spmo
thing reprehensible and to be vigi
lantly watched and guarded against,
be presents to the majority of the
people of tho United States and to
the House of Representatives the al
ternative of submitting quietly to his
deoision of this contest, or of involv
ing the oountry in war! Would that
we could see how both these evils
could be avoided. But we are forced
to the conclusion that the Senate and
the President will put Hayes in the
position, and that all remedies yet
proposed by the House will be un
availing.
IIAWP TON-NIEtIOLLN-DIIEW.
Wo have abiding faith that the
fairly chosen Democratic candidates
will yet secure the Gubernatorial
chairs in Souh Carolina, Louisiana
and Florida. It may not be until the
expiration cf Gen. Grant’s term, but
it will be sure to follow. If Tilden is
inaugurated President, of course
the military grasp upon tho throats
of the Southern States will at once be
released, and then Chamberlain,
Packard and Stearns would not
even wait for a formal demand to
give up their ill-gotten places. They
would sneak away as Ames did from
Mississippi. On the other hand,
should Hayes be declared elected
through the agency of the canvassing
boards, tho excitement throughout
the country would be very great, and
he would find it necessary, in order
to save his party from utter destruc
tion, that some atonement should be
made to the wronged people of South
Carolina, Louisiana nnd Florida.
He would also feel it incum
bent on him as soon as possible to
to give the country some assu
rance that he did not intend to con
tinue the bayonet plau of controlling
State elections pursued by Gen.
Grant. But he could not give any
such assurance while he continued to
boost u pCbamberlain, Packard and
Stearns with Federal bayonets. He
would have to leave tbedlho their
own resources, and, as said above,
these would avail them but a very
little while —not long enough to al
low them to retire with anything like
dignity and order. We look upon
the deliverance of these three un
happy States as a certain event of the
near future.
—Surprise is said to be the essence of
wit, but it is difficult to make a married

I# -
The New Turk llrraltl'* PropoMltlnn.
Th e Herald devotes a column and
a half to the discussion of the follow
ing proposition. Gov. Hayes lias
not been fairly elected, but will be
so declared.
It is perhaps true that the one
Electoral vote on which declaration
is based was procured by fraud.
The Democratic House of Repre
sentatives and the masses had better
acquiesce peaceably in the result.
Ist. Because they could go before
the country four years hence and
defeut the Republican party.
2d. Because Mr. Hayes would
change the policy of Grant, reform
the civil service ami deni justly with
theßouth, reversing Grant’s South
ern policy.
This is better, it affirms, than un
settling the busiuess and peace of
the country.
We ask in reply the following ques
tions : Where is the guarantee that
fraud will not defeat tho will of the
peoplo four years Bence, especially if
quietly acquiesced in now?
If the threat of force to secure the
fruits of fraud should keep us quiet
now, why should it not always do so?
Gen Grant publicly claims to rep
resent the Republican party in ull
that ho has done, and Gov. Hayes
has not contradicted the statement'',
uor has any prominent Republican.
Gov. Hayes has never said he will
change the policy or officers of Gen.
Grant. Leading Republican papers
(luring the canvass aud since have
denied this statement.
Finally, peace and the security of
property, stocks, bonds and money,
under a usurpation, a dictator or des
pot, is better than resistance to fraud
and lawless violence by force. This
may be the doctrine of the Herald, of
Mr. Fernando Wood, and of the Mer
chant Pnneesof New York. Philadel
phia and Boston, but it is the doc
trine of hirelings and slaves, who dis
grace the centennial they have just
celebrated.— Lynchburg News.
An Ineligible Elertor Interviewed.
Correspondence of tlie Cincinnati Enquirer.]
Aurora, Ind., Dec. 13.— The other
day I read Gov. Grover’s statement
to the New York Herald, in which he
gave his reasons for issuing a certifi
cate to Elector Cronio, or Oregon.
Among others, which I need not re
peat, was the very satisfactory rea
son that Watts was ineligible because
of his holding the office of "Postmas
ter in the couuty of Yamhell.” Now,
had Mr. Watts not been a Govern
ment officer, but, simply a resident of
Yamhell, where is the true Christian
who would not find in that circum
stance sufficient justification for de
priving him of his Electoral vote?
Yamhell is evidently a bad place.
By this patriotic and moral action
of Governor Grover Mr. Tilden
is eleeted to the Presidency, and all
the schemes of returning bourds,
Eliza Pinkstons and other dark insti
tutions of Giantism are completely
overthrown. It is a big thing. I re
flected on tbe Circumstance with
great joy. At bed-time my feelings
had almost overpowered me, and,
after placing my watch in the hall
and my boots under the pillow, I
sought repose. The sleep that unu
sually comes to the meek in spirit
some how missed my lodgings that
night. lu place of it, I hud dreams,
visions aud various things. I
thought that the Loudon Times had
employed me at an enormous salary
to proceed at once to Oregon and in
terview somebody.
"To what part of Oregon shall I
go?” was the inquiry I telegraphed
to the editor of the Times.
When the operator at the Ameri
can eud of the cable banded me the
message in reply, he said :
“Very sorry, sir; but your man in
London has cussed you black and
blue. Here it is in black r.nd white.
Seven dollars anda half, sir.”
I tore open theevelope with much
trepidation, and read:
“Go to Hellyam 1”
The order was clear enough to me.
Without stopping to explain to the
operator that someone had blun
dered, I hastened at once to Yam
hell.
It was midnight when I arrived
there, and I hunted up Watte’
residence, and then rang the door
bell like a man who had come for the
doctor.
“Watte up?” said the proprietor of
the establishment as be opened the
front door with a jerk and stood
before me, shiveriug, in his night
dress.
“Glad to see that you are up, Mr.
Watts, and very sorry am I, indeed,
to have been the cause of your get
ting up at this unseasonable hour.
You are in your bare feet, I observe,
and as the oil-cloth is propsbly red
hot, I will proceed to business. I
utn a representative of tne Loudon
Times, the greatest newspaper in the
world, perhaps, and learning that
you are a disqualified Rapubilcan
Elector I have called arouud to hear
what you may have to say about it.”
At this point I winked at him good
humoredly, and continued;
“Asa mutter wholly between our
selves, Mr. Wutts, I will say to you
that my salary Is fixed at SBOO an
hour. In behalf of my employers I
would, therefore, request you to limit
your remarks so that this interview
may not cost our people übove $2,000
or $3,000.”
Watts was mad. His night gar
ments flapped around his limbs as he
suid:
"And you’ve come all the way to
Yarnhell to cull me up in the deed of
flight, with the mercury twenty de
grees below zero, have ye?”
"When I started on my journey,
Mr. Watts, the particular hour at.
which I might arrive at your infernal
regions did not occur to me. My
only thought was to reach Yamhell,
trausact my business, and get away
alive.”
I saw t hat Mr. Watts was prepar
ing to pitch his voice on a high key.
and I was fearful that he intended
singing one of the hymns for which
he is so rnmous; but he didn’t. He
only made the following pointed
observations concerning the local
and national situation:
"Yamhell and yamnation! You
can tell the London Times to go to
Hellespont for its information at this
time or night, nnd be vammedto it!”
Mr. Watts closed the door with
some violence and went upstairs talk
ing in a Irrelevant manner of Amster
dam, coffer-dam, Godfrey’s cordial,
and their relution to the country in
which lie lived.
At the top of the first flight his
teeth ceased chattering fora moment,
and lie hissed between them :
"Only let me catch another news
n>er reporter on these premises, and
don’t Yam—”
“You ineligible and disqualified
wretch,” interrupted Mrs Watts
from beneath Hie bedclothes; “let
up on that horrid profanity and come
to bed this instant, or I’ll have you
turned out of church before you’re
an hour older!”
The San Francisco Call thinks that
the Senate must either count one of
Oregon’s Electoral votes for Tilden or
throw the vote out altogether, giving
Hayes only two votes from the State, and
thus'effecting a tie between Ilayes and
Tilden, in which event the House must
elect the President. The Call is a Re
publican paper, but a moderate one.
Supposing a Case with two Presi
dents.—Only fancy President Mac-
Muhon talking about his party, aud
calling the other party rebels, and
threatening them with troops. It
wouldn’t take loug for the Assembly
to waltz him out of Versailles if he
indulged in any such nonsense, even
though he had the army with him.
