THE DAILY TIMES. JOHN H. H.IRTIN, ... Kdltor. Oolumbnu. <**-• TUESDAY DECEM BEB 19.1876. LARGEST CIRCULATION In tha CMatlM A4| <•■ Cos aad Trad la* at t'nlaiabaa. ißM|M|MaaaiaMllHiai g BBMMaMH i Ma aaaOTaaaaaaaaaiaßaaaaaa 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 man believe it after he has put on three shirts and found that there isn’t a collar button on any of them. Mouth Ucortla Coulrrrnrr. M. "u Tolegraph.J THIRD DAY. Sandersville, Deo. 15, 1876.—Re ligious service conducted by Rev. 11. B. Lester, Bishop Pierce in the chair. By a resolution offered by R. W. Dixon, L. S. Sweet was elected editor of minutes, and tho roll was called and the preachers subscribed. The case of J. W. Domingos was taken up and his character passed. The committee on the appeal case from Davidson Circuit reported that the case be remanded for anew trial. The committee on t he case of W. J. Green reported that no trial was nee* essary, as no charge had been sus tained against him. He was granted a vacation at his own request. Tho Bishop then resumed the call of superannuated preachers, ami the following names wore calledl end their relations continued : J. W. Tal ly, W. 8. Baker. James Harris, 8. G. Guilds, Jacob Owen, Capel Halford, F. B. C. Ellis, James Dunwoody, Da vid Crenshaw, 8. C. Peck, W. I. Con ly. Walter Knox. The Bishop then called for appli cants for admission into the Confer ence, and the following were admit ted : E. M. Whiting, Harmon D. Hodges, 8. J. Stolliuger, Burrel S. Key. The question, “who remain on tri al,” was asked, and the following Dames were called, characters pass ed, and they continued: H. R. Felder, Win. Lloyd, L. A. Snow, Don Q. Abbott and 8. W. Stubbs. Walter 11. Johnson and W. E. Shep herd wore discontinued at their own request. The committee of investigation in tho case of D. O’Driscoll reported a trial necessary. Rev. J. L. Lyon, agent of the American Bible Society, was intro duced, and addressed the Conference in reference to the great work in which he is engaged, and asking the co-oporation of the Conference in the distribution of the Bible. The following names were called, and they presented themselves before the Bishop and answered the disciplinary questions. The Bishop enforced tho importance of the questions by judicious and point ed remarks. Thadedus I. Nease, Charles D. Adams, Robert B. Bryan, William C. Lovett, Bobert W. Boothe. Thadeus I. Neuse and It. M. Boothe were continued on trial. O. D. Adams, Robert B. Bryan and W. C. Lovett were received into full connection, and were elected to dea con’s orders. N. B. Norton was discontinued at his own request. The trausier of Dr. A. T. Manon to this conference from the North Geor gia was announced. Under the question -“Who are the deacons of one year?” thq following names were called and characters passed : I. F. Carev, W. J. Flanders James E. Borie, J. W. Weston, C. 8. Boland, W. F. Bearden, P. H. Crumpler. After the usual notices, the Confer ence adjourned. Jack Peane. 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. —Pldlad. Times.
