The New York Sun says: “The
shipments of freights West and
South have fallen off greatly since
tlie conspiracy of the Republican
officeholders to seize the Govern
ment bus boeu developed. We fear
that before tho middle of February
the Republican merchants in New
York who have tacitly encouraged
this criminal attempt to subvert our
free institutions, will have deep
cause to regret that they did not take
a more manly stand against tho
revolutionary movements of their
political leaders.”
The Atlanta Telegram devotes its
columns almost exclusively to war on
Ben Hill. We regard this us u con
sciousness of Mr. Hill’s strength in
the Senatorial contest; but we doubt
very much the effectiveness o! such
bitter opposition. We do not believe
that Mr. Hill hus lost any friends in
this section,and we think thut his vote
front this part of the State will put
some people to considering whether
they did not overdo the tiling in their
war upon him.
A Washington special of the ‘2lst to
the New Orleans Times says:
“A meeting of negroes rrom all sec
tions was held here last night, and it
was determined that if there is a Re
publican President they demand
such recognition as the colored Vote
warrants. They say that they have
not had a proper amount of Admin
istration patronage, and mean now
to have it.”
Their vote would entitle them to
about one-fourth of the Federal of
llces at the disposal of the Radical
party, imd to a monopoly of the of
fices in the South. But Sambo is
right. If he is not fit to hold office,
he is not fit to vote.
Wm. L. Scruggs, United States
Minister to Colombia, has been re

made by him and the President of
Colombia have been translated for

from these that he was recalled be
cause Congress refused to pass an ap
propriation for continuing the mis
sion-one of the many good acts of
retrenchment of the present Demo
cratic House. The leave-taking
speech of the President is quite com
plimentary to Mr. Scruggs, who may
have made a very good miuister, but
whoso strange conversion to Radical
ism just before the bestowment of
Federal office upon him needs expla
nation here.

“Dr. Felton will make a speech
Saturday, if he can get the floor. Mr.
Hill will speak, but it may not be un

not attempt to vindicate himself of
the falsities being circulated against
him in Georgia. lam not really for
Ben Hill going into the Senate in
place of Mr. Norwood, but I assert
that he is being wronged at
home— pdt here. He is invited
to more caucuses than all the
other members from Georgia put to
gether, and more Democrats ask him
for advice. He stands very high.
To be Ben. Hill’s friend is a bigthing
here. The policy of the Southern
members, as expressed by Hill, has
completely upset the Republicans.

A MURKY CHRISTMAS I
The Timer greets its many readers,
this morning, with “a merry Chrls
maa” and hearty good wishes for
their happiness and prospeity dur
ing tho coming year. Expeotlng to
sharo their fortunes, to rejoice with
thorn in prosperity or suffer with
them in adversity, wo look to the
future as bringing a common lot for
us all, and will do our best to cjieor,
encourage and entertain them in all
its vicissitudes.
For ourselves, though the year just
closing is generally pronounced a
“hard” one. we feel that we have
more to be thankful for than to com
plain of. Just about twelve months
ago we assumed the proprietorship
and management of tho Times, then
about to close its iiret volume. We
took it encumbered with mortgages
for the purchase of (tie material,
besides other debts. All of these
debts ar.d encumbrances have
been lifted, and the paper has
to-day assets ten times greater thuu
its liabilities. We have had to prac
tice economy and work very hard,
it is true, but we put our hands to the
plough with no thought of turning
back, and we have kept on tho even
tenor of our way until wo can read
our title clear to public approval and
support. Our Daily list of subscrib
ers has considerably increased, and
our Weekly subscription has
about doubled, since we took
charge of the paper. We believe we
can say without boasting that no pa
per ever published here ever worked
its way so rapidly into public fuvor,
or acquired so large a subscription in
so short a time. Most of our sub
scribers, too, have done their part by
paying up as soon as they could raise
the money, and we feel assured that
those still in arrears will im
prove the earliest opportunity
to do likewise. For the partiality
and favor thus extended to us we
return thanks, and enter upon the
new year with confidence In the con
tinued appreciation and support of
a generous public, to whoso interest
and entertainment we shall devote
ourselves as assiduously in the future
as in the past.
The law of Louisiana creating the
the returning board, required that
both political parties should be rep
resented on it. But the board which
did the late canvassing contained
only Radicals. The Democrat origi
nally on it resigned a year ago, and
the other members refused to fill the
vacancy. Wells declared that the
Democrats had forfeited their right
to representation when their mem
ber resigned I Even if there were no
specific acts of fraud proven on the
board, it is thus shown to have been
illegally constituted, and its refusal
to admit a Democrat, as the law re
quired, is proof presumptive of in
tended knavery.

Be Peaceful, Itnt Not Too Peaceful.
From the Boston Post.)
Hut there is another extreme of
opinion which needs to be guarded
against. It Is that of timidity and
weakness, and a readiness to yield
everything for tho sake of peace.
Such opinion is a direct encourage
ment and incentive to unjustilnble
and unconstitutional aggressions
upon the rights of States aud people.
It is perfectly evident that the lead
ing spiritsln the Republican move
ment to count in Hayes will persist
iu their purpose and go all lengths
to encourage it, provided the people
will stand by them. Nothing will
stay their hand in the apparent de
termination to defraud a majority of
the people of a President of their
choice if no voice is heard protesting
against It, and no arm is moved
to defend popular rights. There is
but one safe rule on this subject.
The Democrats aud Conservatives
must claim what is clearly right and
submit to nothing manifestly wrong,
ir there are those who, for the sake
of retaining temporary political as
cendancy, are determined to strain
the powers of the government to
the Htmost tension, and challenge
the conservative force of the
people to it severest trial, they may
as well understand, first as last, that
we are living under a writteu consti
tution whose integrity must be pre
served at all hazards, and whose
blessings the present generations
are determined to transmit in the
face of all obstacles, and, if needful,
at any sacrifice. “The life of the na
tion must befpreserved,” was the ral
lying cry in’6l. It is as pertinent
now as then.

THE CINCINNATI MKRTINU.
THE VIUST GREAT CONSERVATIVE MOVE
MENT.
The meeting held in Cincinnati on
Wednesday night was a great demon
stration in favor of law, popular
rights and political justice. Many of
the most distinguished politicians of
Ohio and other States participated.
The numbers In attendunoe so far
exceeded the anticipation thut many
could not got within hearing dis
tance. There was a peculiar interest
attached to this meeting, because it
was the first one called In any great
city, or attended by thousands of the
people, to give expression to the pop
ular sentiment on the present threat
ening and complicated political situ
ation.
The mooting was well ordered.
Hon. Rufus King, who headed the
call, called the meeting to order and
made a speech on the call. Hon.
Henry Stanbery made a speech
when taking the chair; Hon. C. W-
Rowland spoke while the Committee
on Resolutions were out. Judge
Stallo, chairman of the Committee
on Resolutions, spoke to them when
he reported them. General Durbin
Ward, who secondod the motion of
Judge Btullo to adopt them, followed
his second with a speech. Hon.
George H Pendleton, Hon. Lewis D.
Cambell and other well known Dem
ocratic and Liberal Republican
leaders were In the hall, but did not
speak. At the conclusion of Gen.
Ward’s speech, the resolutions were
adopted. They denounce the dis
franchisement of members of one
political party by tribunals com posed
exclusively of members of the other
party; deny that the constitution
confers on tho President of the
Senato or any single person
the right to cunvass and count
the Electoral vote, and pro
nounce such a claim contrary to all
practice and precedent ; declare that
the most dangerous usurpation in a
free country is that of the functions
of civil authority by tho military
power, especially when used in the
Interest of a party; “that it is tho
duty of Congress to insist with un
yielding firmness upon the integrity
of its constitutional rigtits and pre
rogatives, and by their just and fair
exercise to avert tho perils which
threaten the peace and safety of the
country.” One resolution, which the
Enquirer says was received by the
audience with prolonged and fre
quently repeated applauso, we copy
in full:
“Resolved, That any decision made
by tlte two Houses of Congress will
be cheerfully acquiesced in by the
whole people, and that any attempt
to inaugurate u President simply
upou the proclamation of the Presi
dent will be an act of usurpation that
should be, ami as wo believe will be,
resisted by ihe people without dis
tinction ol’ party. ’
This is the tone and temper of the
meeting that has “started the ball”
of opposition to party fraud and Ex
ecutive usurpation in determining
elections. We believe that it will be
followed up vigorously by the Dem
ocrats and Conservatives of the whole
country, and that just in the ratio or
the vigor and determination mani
fested will the prospects of Hayes
aud Wheeler going in by fraud and
force grow “small by degrees and
beautifully less.”
The Cincinnati Enqiiirm-, in its edi
torial notice of the meeting, says:
Nearly ten thousand people went to
Pike’s Opera House under the call.
So many men do not so assemble
without a reason. Such a meeting
can not be built save upon the broad
foundation of the public conscience.
The people are in earnest in this
matter, and the most unflinching
words last night received loudest aji
plause. The audience would quickly
and cordially have responded to any
inflamatory declamation, but, happi
ly, there was none. Tho people, al
ways ahead of their leaders, are evi
dently determined that a President,
shall not be inaugurated until he has
been elected, and the meeting last
night was a clear but firm expression
of this determination. The speeches
of Mr. King. Mr. Stanbery, Mr. Row
land. Judge Stallo, and General
Ward, the words of all of whom are
always listened to respectfully, were
in excellent temper. They were not
those of partisans. The resolutions
breathed, not violence, but an invin
cible determination to see the laws
prevail. The feeling in this city is
in all cities. It is the thought of the
country. The immense meeting was
a spontaneons popular declaration
that Mr. Tilolen has been elected
President and shall be inaugurated.
ANOTHER TALK lIY GRANT.;
DISPATCH BY THE AMERICAN TRESS AS
SOCIATION.
New York, Dec. 22 A Graphic
special irom Washington giving the re
sult of an interview with President Grant,
says the speech of Gen. Nichols on Mon
day to enforce liis claims of Governor
of Louisiana liy force of arms if necessa
ry, confirms the President in the belief
that the policy of the Democratic® party
in Louisiana, iSouth Carolina and Florida
foreshadows what may be attempted on
tiie Presidential question in Washington.
He believes Hayes was lawfully elected,
and is fully advised ot the savings and
doings of the revolutionists fie is confi
dent that the loyal men of the country
will preserve the peace.
On the subject of his proposed elec
tion to the Senate in place of Gen. Logan,
the President says he could not lie a candi
date for three reasons:
Ist. Although he considers himself a
citizen of Illinois, yet lie does not think
he has resided within the State contiuu
ously enough for the last 20 years, to en
title him to the candidacy.
2d. He has for the last 16 years been a
servant of the public, and on the 4th of
March next he proposes to see how it will
seem to be a sovereign.
3d. He favors Logan’s re-election.
The President said further that he did
not think he woukl ever again be a can
didate for public office.

MIGHT LEADING Qt ENT IONS.
WARS DAMON PROCEEDS TO CATECHISE Til E
CONSPIRATORS-GRANT AND CHAN
DLER UNDER A HEAVY FIRE OF
INTERROGATORIES.
Washington special to Chicago Time*, j
Among the significant facts which
have come with In the knowledge of
the Times commissioner is the result
of a curious conference between
Grant and Chandler and Ward H.
Latnon. The gentleman will be re
membered by Illinois people as a
former law partner of Mr. Lincoln’s,
ami United Htates Marshal of this
distriot during his term and John
son’s. Lamon has been a Conserva
tive Republican, aud supported Hayes
during the campaign. Indeed, so in
terested wus he in Hayes’ success
that ho consented to run for Con
gress at his homo in West Virginia,
where he had been settled for some
years, in order to give tho Hayes
ticket the strength of ins name. He
came to Washington the other day,
and gave the Chandler people great
uneasiness by denouncing the
scheme, to count in Huyes ns a
criminal blunder, not only against, the
party, but against the Republic. He
had not been in town long when in
fluential delegations waited upon
him to cause a change in his views.
He seems to have been unmoved, how
ever butfinally turned upon the Hayes
people and drew up the following
questions, which ho laid before Grant
and Chandler at a formal interview,
and demanded categorical aud ex
pllcit answers. The subject was
made a State secret, and Lamon re
fused to aoknoweiedge even the fact;
but the Times’ diplomatic corps suc
ceeded in obtaining tho documents
laid before Grant and Chandler, with
the substance of fhe answers.
THE QUESTIONS WERE EIGHT IN NUMBER,
as follows:
1. Is there anything in the Consti
tution or laws requiring the Presi
dent to be inaugurated at the seat of
Government V
2. Who is authorized to administer
tlie oath of office to the President
elect ?
3. Is the taking of the oath suffi
cient inauguration, at the seat of
Government or elsewhere, to author
ize such an inaugurated President to
act us such ?
4. When does the term of a Presi
dent expire—the day and hour?
5. The 4th of March, 1877, coming
on tho holy Sabbath, and the Presi
dent elect is not inaugurated on that
day, but is on the day following, does
this cause au interregnum ?
0. If no interregnum, wito is Presi
dent,? aud does the out-going Presi
dent hold over, or is the President of
the Senate ex-officio President of the
United States ?
7. In case the inauguration of the
President elect is deferred until the
Sth of March, and a pseudo President
or usurper should be inaugurated no
the 4th. and ho should exorcise uets
of Magisterial or Executive purport,
would ho or would he not be regard
ed by law as the President defacto
forthe time being, an 1 his acts ac
cepted as legal ?
8. Should Tildeu be quietly inau
gurated in the city of New York on
the 4th of March, and take posses
sion of the custom-house, navy-yard,
subtreasury, etc., what will be the
consequence ?
To the iirst query, Grant, who was
a good ways gone in liquor, answer
ed, with great solemnity, that he
didn’t know. Zach allowed that the
oath might, be administered toTilden
in New York, in accordance with a
precedent settled when Vice Presi
dent King took the oath in Cuba,
many years ago. Grant, however,
doubted whether, in the case of a
President, this would not bo consid
ered too violent a departure from the
customs of the country. He was dis
posed to thiuk that. To the second
question the President held that as
the Chief Justice has always per
formed the eerornoniu!, a departure
would mean revolution. To the third
both Chandler and Grant agreed the
oath was sufficient. To the fourth
they were of the opinion the term
begins at noon on the 4th day of
March. As to the fifth interrogatory
Grant and Chandler were not agreed,
but believed there would be an inter
regnum. As to who, in that case,
would be President, Grant held that
the outgoing official would hold until
his successor took the oath. To the
seventh neither Grant nor Chandler
would commit themselves; they
could not conceive of such a state of
things. In response to the eighth,
read solemnly by Lamon, &rant
looked thunder-struck, aud Chandler
said emphatically, “Hell would bo to
pay!”
This episode is perfectly authentic,
and the evil of it is not yet over by
any means, as the Cabinet are to
consult on it.

Messers Editors: In tho selection of officers to
fill our county position*, every citizen should
first enquire is he honest, capable, and duely
qualified to all the positions to which the candi
dates aspire. Governed by those tests, we
would most respectfully call the attention of the
voters of Muscogee county to the claims of our
fellow citizen JOHN M. PATRICK for the position
of Tax Receiver of our county at the ensuing Jan
uary election. Tho roport of all men is that he
is honest, capable an.l duely qualified to fill the
position to which he aspires, should ho receive
tho support of bis fellow-citizens. We say yea;
first, for the reasons above stated;.secondly, be
cause the county would have in him a sober in
dustrious and fiithiul officer; thirdly, because ho
is old aud needy; fourthly, because he is the
hsal and front of a large and influential family of
Democratic voters, aud this is the first time any
of said family ever asked the party for an office,
and they were evsr of the rauk aud fil' that never
quailed or flinched in the hour of the party’s
need. No man ever questioned where JOHN M.
PATRICK stood, for they knew that he and his
were Democratic from the year one.
