Specials to the New York Herald
and Cincinnati Enguirer still insist
that same of Hayes’ friends are try
ing to effect a compromise with lead
ing Southern politicians.
The Advertiser says that the grand
Jury of the United States Court hare
summoned a number of county of

Ouk news of yesterday Indicates
that the Democrats of the North are
now becoming better convinced that
the i>eople of the United States have
some political rights which the Pres
ident and the returning boards are
bound to respect. We are glad of it.
Tub Philadelphia Fret* is earnest
ly advocating a protectorate over
Mexico by the Government of the
United States. Unless something
can be done to arrest the triumph of
political corruption and fraud in this
oountry, Mexico can with as much
reason propose a protectorate over
tbe United States.

It seems to us that if Gov. Titden
or his Northern friends In Congress
had, two or three weeks ago, made
precisely suoh a declaration as Gen.
Nicholls is reported by telegraph os
having made in Louisiana, the pros
pect of tbe Democrats reaping the
fruits of the victory which they
won in the Presidential election
would be much brighter fci-day.
Qkneral Rush, of Wisconsin, is re
ported as asserting in Washington,
the other day, that “the next House
should be Republican by force, and
that it will be the mission of the
army to make it so.” This indicates
the height and depth of the Repub
lican conspiracy, which proposes to
rob the people of their constitutional
rights and abolish the ballot-box
utterly.
A Washington special of the 19tli
to the New Orleans Time s says: “The
President said last evening that he
thought the stories about threatened
revolution in the west were all over
drawn. He says the North will not
begin a tight and does not
want another. If the South were hos
tile,said the President, there might be
trouble, foi Southern soldiers are the
finest lighters on the earth. The
President added that the South would
soon be pacified.”

The New Orleans Democrat’* Wash
ington dispatch supplements what
Oen. Grant is reported to have said
in bis interview with the New York
Herald, as follows: “He also believes
that the twenty-second joint rule is
not now in force, and will not recog
nize any action that the House may
attempt under it with regard to the
ceremony of counting the Electoral
vote. This statement rests on the
* very best authority. There can be
no further doubt now about what
Grant will do."
The New York Tribune doubts the
com potency of the House to elect a
President unless there be three can
didates voted for by the electoral
college. The idea of the Tribune
seems to be that inasmuch as the
constitution says that the House shall
choose from the three highest, there
must be three candidates receiving
Electoral votes from whom to choose.
We think a common-sense view of
the matter is that the constitution
only intended to shut out all but
three, not to require that there
should be three.
Thu Charleston New#' Columbia
letter of Monday, after giving the
correspondence between Hampton
and Chamberlain, says: “Through
out the State Governor Hampton
wili> appoint his officers, and call
upon the people to support them and
treat as usurpers any persons claim
ing to bo appointed by any other
person." It also says that Chamber
lain will attempt the arrestof Hamp
ton as soon as the "bayonet bill"
passes the Radical Legislature, but
that any officers of Chamberlain
who attempt the arrest will not be
received in a very courteous man
ner.
Alabama Tax Deeds.—The Supreme
Court of Alabama has just decided in
the case of Davis vs. Hinge, ap
pealed from the Circuit Court of
Mobile, that the clause of the reve
nue law of 1898 which declared a tax
deed conclusive evidence of certain
facta is unconstitutional. The court
holds that, under the revenue law of
1868, the power to sell lands for taxes
is conferred only when, after reason
able eearoh, sufficient of the tax
payers personalty cannot be found
to satisfy the tax. Proof that the
tax collector made no such search,
and that the tax payer had sufficient
personalty, within the county, to pay
the tax, will invalidate a sale of land
for such taxes.
There will be five eclipses in 1877,
viz., a total eclipse of the moon on
Tebruary 27, visible in the United
States ; a partial eclipse of the sun on
March 14, visible in Western Asia; a
partial eclipse of the sun on August
8. visible in Alaska, Kamtchatka,
and the North Pacific Ocean; a total
eclipse of the moon on August 83,
partly visible in the Eastern and
Southern States, and a partial eclipse
of the sun on September 7, visible in
South America.
—“What docs ‘Good Friday’ mean?”
asked one schoolboy of another. “You had

TIE BEAL “AfiITATOB*.”
President Grant, in bis recently
published Interview with a reporter
of the New York Herald, deprecated
“political agitations in certain sec
tions of the country,” regarding them
as creating “a necessity for vigil
ance" on his part, and declared that
he would exhaust his military powers
to thwart the object of popular agita
tion.
This is very extraordinary language
for a President of the United States,
and but a few years ago It would have
aroused the country, as Mr. Jefferson
once said, "like a fire-bell at mid
night.” It assumes that the Presi
dent must vigilantly watch the ex
pressions of publlo sentiment, and
if the people of the country
manifest any disposition to
oppose his will and purposes, he nan
use the army of the United States,
and even call out the militia of tbe
States, to overawe them. That Is
what his language amounts to, be
cause there is no public emergency,
no definable resistance to law or dis
turbance of the publlo peace, In the
“agitations" to which he refers. He
has made up hit mind as to bow the
Presidential election ought to be set
tled-made it up in advance of the
count of the Electoral votes by Con
gress, and in opposition to the well
known showing of the returns—and
when the people demur to tbl3 and
Insist that their votes shall be respec
ted, tbe President calls this “polit
ical agitation"and threatens to put it
down or defeat its purpose by milita
ry force.
This is the President’s way of
maintaining the “peace” of the coun
try. His declaration is that he “will
have peace if he has to fight for it.”
If only in that way he maintains it—
If the people of tbe country are forced
to acquiesce in his choice of a Presi
dent by tbe military power which he
wields-it will be the peace which a
military despotism imposes upon a
crushed and spiritless people. It
will be tbe establishment of an arbi
trary rule in comparison with which
that of George 111 was liberal and
tolerant.
THE “NEW KEHEEI.IOJt."
We copy the following from the
dispatches of the American Press As
sociation, of Tuesday night, to show
the kind of reports by which the
Radicals seek to hold their party
together at the North while they con
summate the fraudulent scheme of
the Administration and the canvas
sing boards:
Washington, Dec. 19.— The Herald’s
special from Bt. Louis, gives the re
sult of interviews with a number of
ex-Confederates and others on the
political situation. Gen. Joe. Shel
by, ex-Confederate cavalryman, says
he is with Grant, and believes the
best fighting element of the Confed
erates will be with him when tiie tug
comes. Grant is the decisive author
ity. If the Senate declares Hayes
elected, and the House declares Til
den elected the course of the Execu
tive would decide It. To oppose the
Executive would be rebellion, and he
has bad enough of that. He has no
faith in Northern Democrats. Shel
by believes there will be trouble, and
that an armed conspiracy is organ
izing throughout the country to
put Tilden in the Executive chair by
force.
Ex-Governor Reynolds, a promi
nent ex-Confederate, does not doubt
Tlldeu's election, and if he was not
sustained by those who elected him
it would be a clear surrender of eon
stitutionaliliberty. If the Louisiana
Investigation Committee showed
conclusively that Tilden carried
Louisiana it would be impossible to
prevent his inauguration, and a very
large army would spring up almost
immediately to Sustain him.
Secretary of State, McGrath, ex-
Confederate officer, says the people
who elscted Tilden will put him in
the Presidential chair, and keep him
there, at any cost. If necessary he
is in favor of fighting, to perpetuate
the results of the election.
General Marmaduke, Confederate
chieftain, is now in New York to con
fer with Tilden with reference to the
speedy organization of Missouri
Democrats to uid in enforcing Til
den's inauguration. Marmaduke is
to commaud Tilden’a force in Mis
souri.
Col. Normille, of a Federal regi
ment, an influential Democrat, said
If the Louisiana Investigation shows
that that State went for Tilden, it
would establish his election, and the
Democrats should inaugurate and
sustain him, if necessary, by force,
and an immense army could be
raised for that purpose.
Col. Clay King, Confederate, believes
Grant’s course ought to be decisive with
both parties. lie has no faith in the sin
ccrity or fighting qualities of Northern
Democrats. The feeling among both
Union and rebel Democrats is strong for
Tilden or war.
Congressman Buckner believes war in
evitable.
Col. Playback. ex-Confederate Demo
crat, endorses Shelby’s sentiments. He
has no confidence in NonUiern Democrats,
and holds them responsible for the late
war.
A FUACTICAL SCHEME.
HOW TO OBTAIN IMMIGRANTS FOR
GEORGIA.
Atlanta Constitution.)
For some months past Gov. Smith
has been earnestly negotiating with
an English steamship company, lor
the establishment of a steam line of
of direct trade between the ports of
Germany and Great Britain and Sa
vannah and Brunswick. A reliable
company submitted a proposition
early in the summer, and the Govern
or at once saw his opportunity and
unhesitatingly determined to nego
tiate for terms and practical results.
Entering fully into the spirit of the
enterprise he opened correspondence
with the proper parties, and we are
happy to annsunoe an agreed
scheme that cannot fail to commend
itself to the Legislature and to the
people.
A communication reoeived by the
Governor on Monday met his views
fully, and he gave it his indorse
ment. The leading features ot the
project are decidedly favorable. The
company agrees to make at least one
trip each month,and as much oftener
os the business will justify, and to
bring emigrants from Europe at half
the fare now charged to New York.
For this great benefit a subsidy ot
$60,000 per annum is asked for for
three years, as a partial and just di
vision of the expenses of the Govern
ment. The Governor on Tuesday,
transmitted the proposition to the
State Grange, in session at the Mark-
House, with a strong recommenda
tion, and we are glad to learn that
that body of intelligent planters re
ceived it with great favor, and unan
imously endorsed It back to the Gov
ernor and the Legislature. Govern
or Smith will make this enterprise
most prominent in his message, and
will devote bis great influence to the
pMsago of a bill by tbe Legislature
to perfect bis negotiations and con
summate the scheme. He bos bad
the good sense to originate a practi
cal project, and on terms so favora
ble as to.disarm apprehension and
bring thewnole people to its sup
port.

A HUIUIITKR OUT I,oo*.
HOW DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMEN THINK
THEY CAN DEFEAT THE RADICAL
GAME.
Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.]
Washington, Dec. 17.—The Demo
cratic leaders have been actively can
vassing the situation for the past
forty-eight hours, with the result
that their line of policy is assumiug
definite shape. Their courage is
growing, and the outlook is bright
ening. Mr. Hewitt is authority for
the statement that if the Senate
should arrogate for its presiding
officer the power to pass judicially
on the Electoral count, the House
will resist, and will never yield.
Nearly all of the Democratic mem
bers have been seen individually, ]
and all that have been seen are fully j
agreed upon this point. Mr. Hewitt |
further thinks that a large number!
of the House Republicans would not
support such an assumption on the
part of the Senate. He does not
think himself the Senate will assume
this much, and says to-night that if
the right men are put upou the Joint
Committee which the two Houses
have authorized to try and devise
some plan acceptable to both for the
counting of the vote, thev ought to
be able to agree upon some scheme.
Ho says the House is ready to agree
upon auy scheme which is fair and
constitutional. Several of the Re
publican Senators arc known to be
anxious for a compromise. Morton
has determined to push his bill, aud
Hewitt says that he personally would
vote for it if he could get no better.
Even under that bill the Democrats
feel that they have the advantage,
for while It provides that the consent
of both Houses shall be requisite to
cast aside tbe vote of any State, it
also provides that where two sets of
returns shall come up from any
State, that only shall be counted
which both Houses shall agree is the
legal vote of the State. Double re
turns are certain to cotne up from
Louisiana, Florida and South Caro
lina, and under Morton’s bill the
House would have tbe right to refuse
to agree that any return from these
States was legal which should be
proven to be illegal by the testimony
taken by its Southern Committee,
and such returns could not then be
counted. This bill, however, is not
acceptable to all the House Demo
crats, aad will not be the first com
promise offered by them. They have
the best of the situation, and know
it.
The plan, as explained by Mr. Hew
itt to-night, will be to first proffer to
the Republicans their own medicine,'
the old twenty-second joint rule. If
the Republicans refuse it, they will
stand before the country in the un
enviable position of holding that
what is sauce for the goose is not
sauce for the gander. Under the
twenty-second joint rule Mr. Hewitt
thinks a peaceable solution of the
difficulty would be had. It could act
in two ways: It might first throw
the election into the House through
the throwing out by that body of the
votes of Louisiana, Florida and
South Carolina. If the two Houses
should get to playing the game of
object and counter-object it might
result In the throwing out of all the
Electoral votes. In that event, the
legal result would be that no Elec
tors havebeen appointed, consequent
ly no election has been held, and,
under the Constitution, anew elec
tion would have to be ordered under
the statutory provisions of 1792.
Chairman Knott, of the Judiciary
Committee, has devised anotherplan,
which he has embodied in a bill to
be offered to the House to-morrow.
He proposes that all questions which
may arise in the counting of the
Electoral vote shall be decided by a
majority rote of the two Houses,
acting as a Joint Assembly, and bal
loting exactly as the State Legisla
tures do for United States Senators.
He has not much faith that the Sen
ate will agree to his plan, but he
holds that it is the only plan thus far
suggested which would settle amica
bly all questions that might arise,
either now or in the future, which
would be satisfactory to the people,
and which is clearly constitutional.

Thurman and Kduitunin' social Rela
tion*. •
Those who have witnessed the
wordy encounters of Senators Thur
man and Edmunds probably imagine
that there is some ill-feeling existing
between tbe two statesmen. If so,
they ure in error, for those who are
acquainted with the facts in the case
are aware that they are actually on
the best of terms, and that their re
lations are very friendly. Frequent
ly they may be seen wending their
way to the Senate relectory together
upon lunch-taking inlent. Upon such
occasions they are usually very dem
onstrative, and Invariably drop tbe
mantle of Senatorial dignity. A gen
tleman who was an auditor a few days
since of what he thought a very acri
monious debate was ustonished to
see the two who bad been tilting at
each other so fiercely, each in his own
fashion— Edmunds sarcastically and
Thurman irascibly—enter tho Senate
restaurant together, arm in arm, ere
their words were yet cold. His as
tonishment deepened into amaze
ment when he overheard Edmunds
say, in a tone devoid of feeling, to 1
Thurman, “Well, old man, you gave
me h—ll to-day, didn’t you?” to
which Thurman replied, in tones as
free from as they had been filled with
vindictiveness during the debate,
"You deserved it, didn’t you V” and
tho two smiled together, and the as
tonished man came to the conclusion
that Senutors, like editors, could
fight without getting angry.— TDix/t
