The Now York Evening Post (Rep.)
observes that if the Republicans In
sist that the authentic action of the
State Is conclusive in Louisiana they
must admit that it Is conclusive in
Oregon. Upon the Bute theory any
alleged wrong In the appointment of
Electors must be right In the Htate.
John Bright,the English reformer,
differs radically with Pope. The lat
ter said, “Whatever is, is right." The
former says, in effect, “Whatever is>
is wrong.” He is thus quoted liter
ally: “It seems to mo that the whole
world is wroag-that everything is
wroug in the creation and arrange
ment of the conditions under which
men lire on this earth.”
The Boston Herald, on challenge,
gives these representative and illus
trative names of Massachusetts Re
publicans who believe that Gov.
Tilden has been fairly elected Presi
dent: Estes Howe, Clement Hugh
Hill, Willard P. Phillips, James Rus
sell Lowell, James Freeman Clarke,
Martin Brimmer, William E. Per
kins, Jno. E. Sanford, and Alexander
H. Bullock.

The New York World objects to the
President’s remarks about "the
slums of New York." It wants to
know: "Havenot the ignorant and
toiling poor of New York shown as
much interest, a# a class, ‘in the
State or in the republic,’ as a cortaln
tanner in Galena once manifested
when he had neither sufficient intel
ligence nor opportunity, through
newspapers or other wise, to ‘witness
tho excitement attendant on Presi
dential elections?’ ”
We said the other day, noticing
the remark attributed Jo Ben Hill,
that "he regarded Gen. Hayes’ elec
tion as a victory ovor the ultraisms
of the Republican party,” that if Mr.
Hill had said nomination instead of
“election,” he would have had It
about right. We now find that
“nomination" was the word he
used—not “election.” and every well
informed politician knows that the
remark, thus rightly q uoted. Is true.
Puominknt Radicals at New Orleans
say that If any attempt is made by
theCongressionul Committee to pun
ish tho members of the returning
board for contempt, Gen. Grunt will
protect them, or they will be released
on habeas corpus by the Federal
courts, es the canvassers were In
South Carolina. There will be but
little difference between the two cases
—only in one the Federal Court
interfered with the jurisdiction and
decrees of the State Court, and in
the other the interference would be
with the authority of one branch of
Congress.
- *—
The New York World makes up u
table of Representatives elect to the
next Congress, allowing the Radicals
ail the members whom they have
fraudulently “counted in.” The
summary shows 148 Democrats and
142 ltepublleans. The only members
yet to be elected are 3 In New Hamp
shire. Allowing the Radicals all of
these, the Democrats will have a
majority of 3. There are several
contested seats, besides those from
Louisiana and Florida. The House
will stand as above stated when it
meets, but there Is no doubt that five
or six Radicals will bo afterwards
expelled from seat# unjustly ob
tained.

Horace While’s Remedy.
la ft recent interview, Mr. Horace
White, who was editor of the Chicago
Tribune when it represented the moder
ate conservative element of the Republi
can parly, said in answer to the question
-“What remedy would you suggest for
the existing stale of thingsi"
“If Mr. llayea is installed in the Exec
tive Mansion, and put in possession of the
Treasury and other departments by force,
with no better title than lie now [appears
to have, and if he should decide to accept
the office with such a title, lie would l>e
the de facia President, and his acts would
be valid as against third parties. But he
ought not to be recognized as President
l>v Congress, and no appropriation of
money should be made during his usurpa
tion, except such os may be necessary to
protect Uie public credit, transport the
mails, keep the courts open, collect the
revenue, pay the pensions, and generally
to hold society together, than this
the Democrat* cannot safely do. More
than this they are not required to do.”
“In order to preservo the continuity of
the Government and to have a President
de jure, it would be necessary for Mr.
Tilileu to take the oath of office—this
bsing the only form of inauguration
known to the law—and to reside at the
seat of Government. Any attempt at
violence is to be deprecated, and proba
bly the party that first resorts to violence
will be defeated, irrespective of tbe mer
its of tbe controversy. It is peculiarly an
Anglo Saxon trait to endure evils while
they arc endurable. The Democratic
party has everything to gain by paying
respect to this national characteristic. ”
Democratic Confidence In Wa*litngton.
special t* the Coorier-Jotirntl.]
Washington, Dec, 18.—The feeling
here among Democrats in regard to the
final result is one of increased confidence,
based, however, very largely on the
firmness shown by the Northern and
Western Democracy. It is not true that
Southern Democratic Congressmen want
the Northern Democracy to cubroit to the
fraud and usurpation, and there is not a
single case of a recreant among them
ready to sell out to Hayes. The Presi
dent. is now the chief source of trouble.
Maddened by hate and whiskey, bis head
and tongue are running all the time on
the use of his army to settle the election
dispute, and he is now threatening to call
out the militia of the States.
lu addition to the Ohio and Indiana
State Conventions, Pennsylvania is mov
ing, and it is understood that a call Will
be made by the Democratic State Com
mittee for a Convention to be held on the
Bth of January next. Other States'will
probably follow.
A BETTER FREEING.
Many accounts concur In the re
port that there are signs of giving
way in the Radical lino ut Washing
ton, and that the Democrats are in
a corresponding degree encouraged
'to believe that they can yet head off
ftho plot to mako Ilaycs President by
fraud and force. We hope that this re
ported weakening of the one party
and growing confidence of the other|is
correctly represented, and Indeed we
see good reasons for such a hope.
The Democrats-especially those of
the West—have within tho lastweok
been more outspoken In declaring
their purpose to insist on the inau
guration of Tilden. They are elicit
ing and about to organize a public
sentiment so strong and resolute that
It must command respect. The pri
mary meetings and Htate conven
tions which they have called will
show that there is no break or di
vision whatever in the Democratic
ranks -that every man who vo
ted for Tilden believes him to
bo rightfully elected and de
mands tlmt he be made President;
and not every Democrat only, but
many honest Republicans will be
found to side with them. On tho
othor hand, how can the Radicals
meet such a popular demonstration?
They know that there is division in
their own ranks; they know that,
however the leaders may stick to
gether for the sake of office and
power, the mass of the American
people love justice and want fair
play. The Republicans would only
demonstrate their own weakness
and divisions by calling popular
meetings to Insist on Hayes’ right to
the office. The preponderance of
public sentiment, both In volume and
earnestness, on the Democratic side,
would be io great ns to show the
Radicals that they would commit po
litical suicide by bolstering up fraud
with force. It is the Democratic ap
peal to the "sober second thought of
the people” that Is producing the re
action now noticeable. Had It been
made a month sooner, its triumph
would have been more certain and
easy.
Aggression, usurpation or wrong
cannot be arrested by a protest
whiith announces that opposition
will be carried no farther. It will not
be deterred by the declaration, “we
are wronged and outraged, but we do
not mean to resist.” So long as only
this kind of a protest was uttered by
the Democrats, the Radical leuders
exhibited no scruple or sign of giving
way.
We have heard a good deal about
the influence of capital and wealth in
deciding this question, its dread of
excitement and conflict, and its pow
er to bring about a peaceful settle
ment. That settlement was to be
the inauguration of Hayes. But this
reliance upon tbe conservatism of
capital was based upon the general
apprehension that un attempt to pre
vent. the inauguration of Hayes
would lead to a conflict, while Tilden
could be unjustly counted out with
out dunger of such a calamity. The
large monied and property interests
will see in the outspoken resolutions
of the Northern Democracy that
they might have been mistaken
about this. They will see that popu
lar right is yet a power in this land*
and cannot easily be overridden even
by a military chieftain with the army
of the country at his command.
When they are made to see this, they
may come to the conclusion that the
surest way to avoid the dreaded con
flict Is to stand by right, honesty and
the constitution. They may seo that
usurpation and revolution, even when
flacked by the power of the govern
ment, is not true conservatism, and
that the stability of every great In
terest in this country will be pro
moted fly u continued regard for the
boverelgutv of the people and the
supremacy of law over force. That,
such may be the issue of this vexed
huestlon Is our earnest desire.

ALABAMA’S CANEBRAKE REGION.
-THE GARDEN MPOT OF EARTH."
Selma, Dallas County, Ala., I
December 18, 1870. j
Editor Columbus Times:
We have just made a Hying trip
through this “garden spot" of earth,
the famous “cane brake” country of
Marengo, Perry and Dallas, from
Demopolls to this point. If we were
a farmer on a large scale, In ono of
these counties would bo our grange.
Hero are as robust, strong, healthy
men and women us eau be found in
the famous blue gruss region of Ken
tucky. This section is as free from
miasmatic causes as any part of Ten
nessee or Kenluckj on lands of equal
productive grades.
On the best cotton lauds here one
year with another, by skilled labor,
a bale of 000 pounds of lint cotton
can be gathered on each acre proper
ly cultivated, Here all is cotton
cotton ; for ten years the ■furtners
have pluuted too much of if. The
poople have idolized the “ Cotton
God,'l believing in a secular way that
there was no hope of a financial sal
vation, either temporal or eternal,
except habilitated in cotton cloth,
whether purple or not. They have
bowed down to this false plantition
god; they have worshipped at his
foot-stool until “It would almost ap
pear that Providence was offended
with this one idea, idolatry, and had
determined to end the worshipping
of cotton, to tho exclusion of the
common necessaries of life, even to
tho risk of absolute want, for such is
surely the inevitable tendency and
result. Hence if God loves his crea
tures and chastises whom he loves,
for our temporal benefits, certainly
he has laid a heavy hand on this
Immediate country. And how could
a country, where the people have
been so narrow-sighted as to destroy
their own chances of prosperity, even
as to become notorious in failures,
expect to be inviting to those unac
quainted ; and to-day if I could meet
every cotton grower in this vast cot
ton region, comprising an Empire
within itself, and explain to all
that they were rapidly working
out sure destruction, that this
is another of sucidal policy, that
just one-half theamount now planted
would bring just as much money and
at one-half the outlay, leaving time
and room for the production of hun
dreds of other things more valuable,
because now necessary to life, per
haps there might be an awakening
to the reality, but as it is, each indi
vidual “knows the wrong” and “still
the wrong pursues,” hoping all the
time that his neighbors will take the
right way, thereby leaving him the
entire monopoly in his own small or
large crop of the entire cotton
production; yes, each planter im
agines lie is in the centre of n pri
vate ring, and that “Golconda’s
gold” is within his own reach and
no other; yes, and such a ring, like
the Indian’s fellow ‘a hell of a
one.’ ”
But, we are getting naughty over
this evil that uffliets this section, and
not only this section, but the whole
land where the staple white tleece is
grown exclusively to the neglect of
other and better crops.
We must not lose sight of the fact
that “this is both a coin and stock
country, bad cultivation, neglect and
want of interest and knowledge has
developed that much ; a thing patent
enough to any ono who woald visit
here and examine for himself. If an.
average of thirty bushels of corn can
be produced here with a “lick and a
promise,” how much would the land
yield if thoroughly tilled.”
“Where do cows and mules do bet
ter, having to shift for themselves,
and until ready for use? Where do
all vegetables grow to greater per
fection? Where does the California
clover grow more luxuriantly? Where
the Bermuda grass, that perennial
inexhaustible and reliable resource?
And, who knows but that the other
clovers and grasses would do equally
well here, as I have every reason to
believe the Kentucky Blue Grass
would, with fine grasses, thrive best
in very rich soil. Fine stock would
soon occupy the attention of the
raiser here inslead of the scrubby,
in formed ponies, the longer horned,
longer shanked cattle, and the long
snouted “drink-out-of-a-jug,” razor
backed Itogs, that now have to root
for a living or die.fi This is a splendid
Country for swine, and all a man has
to do is to put corn in paunches, in
stead of poking them with a forked
stick, or tying knots in their tails to
keep them from going through the
cracks. Yes, gentlemen of the In
ternational, you stopped this branch
of your road too soon. This is the
El Dorado country if tho people
here would throw off the incubus of
cotton, sell off some lands to good
emigrants, pay their debts and take
anew start, and time will prove what
I say.
“Let men come here swearing
never to make cotton an object, or
business; be industrious, go to work,
and hire others, if able, and follow
them and their business, buy noth
ing on a credit; yes, starve first, and
don’t become attendants at loafers’
dens and whisky shops, and prosper
ity will as surely and rapidly attend
their efforts as on any other spot on
God’s green earth."
To the healthy, hardy farmer of
Europe or elsewhere, this is the
place to which he can come and bet
ter his condition. Then why go
West? “B.”'
—Athens has received 17,331 halos of
cotton this season, against 14,000 bales to
corresponding date of last season. The
Watchman thinks that the gain is not due
to an increased production this season,
but to an extension of ratlroad facilities
for transportation.
—The Qmstiivtum says that J. J. Wil
liams A Cos., of Atlanta, have slaughtered
1500 head of hogs this season. On Satur
day they killed 100 that averaged 308
pounds net.
‘'Syiuines' Hole.-'
There must be many, particularly
amongst the younger generation, to whom
the expretsion ‘‘By mines' Hole” is familiar
but. who arc unable to assign any definite
meaning to it. According to the late Mr.
Symmes, whose theory made something
of a sensation in his day, the figure of tho
earth is something like that of an apple
•'cored” by thrusting through it a hollow
cylinder or tube. It ishubitablc within us
well as without, and the intenor may be
readied under favorable conditions by
one of the polar openings, or ‘‘Syinmes’
Hole.” A singular chapter in the history
ol the recent British Arelic Expedition is
a correspondence between Caputin Nares,
the commader, and Mr. Ameticus Symines,
sou and disciple of the theorist. Mr.
Synmu-s, it appears, addressed Captain
Nares through General Bchenck, our Min
ister, directing attention to his luther's
views, and asking that anything tending
to confirm them tie carefully noted. Gen
eral Bchenck kindly replied, staling that
the communication had been delivered in
the proper quarter, and Cuptain Nares had
also tlie courtesy to write promising Unit
if he should be so fortunate as to sail far
enough north to “find the land dtp” lie
would not forget to give Mr. Symmes’
father the credit of having foretold that
such would lie the esse. A letter was al
so received from the Lords of the Admir
alty in reply to a request from Mr.
Symmes that lie he apprised of certain
discoveries that might be made. Their
lordships civilly promise that nil the in
formation obtainable “will appear in due
course in the publ c prints.” “Symmes’
Hole” remains undiscovered and Synnnea’
sou undisturbed. He is still musleroftlic
situation, so fur asc mcertis the impregna
bility of the iamily position.
The table of railway earnings for No
vember shows that the lotul earnings of
18 Western roads were f5,U67,482, a de
crease of |18(!,2C7 from the earnings of
the same roads in November, 1875, 11 of
the 18 roads showing a decrease. The
same rdails report gross earnings from
.January 1 to November 30, of $01,640,-
575, an increase of 13,034,860 over the
same period of 1876. Reports of 14 ad
ditional roads for October show an in
crease of $020,087 since January 1.
These reports are mainly of Western
roads, whose earnings have not been much
affected by the railway war. If the trunk
lines reported their earnings, it is doubt
ful whether uny increase would be show n
over last year. In the report for Novem
ber, the Central Pacific and the roads
west and southwest from St Louis are
the principal ones which show a material
increase learnings. The continuation
of low rates on the trunk lines between
the West and the Atlantic has probably
affected, more or less, the earnings of the
Illinois, Central and all other roads east
of the Mississippi river.
