LARGEST CIRCULATION
In Ik. CaaatlM >• ■* Tr.llkl

A Washington correspondent re
ports Hon. Alex. H. Stephens as say
ing that "he does not think Congress
will decide that Florida’s vote tnuy
be cast for Tilden, but believes it will
decide that she has Rot cast any
Electoral vote at all.”
Gen. Mejia, who arrived In Havana
on Tuesday, from Mexico, says that
the accounts of the capture of Lrdo
and the shooting of Escobedo, pub
llshed lu American papers, are un
confirmed rumors, and that Lerdo
probably succeeded iu reaching the
Pacific const in safety.
Tub New York Bulletin of Wednes
day refers to one unmistakable indi
cation of Improving business. Its re
port of the New York drygoods trade
for the year shows that the exports
of domestic cotton goods from that
port for the last E 2 weeks reach the
aggregate of 71,456 packages, against
11,008 last year. For the years 1870 to
1871, inclusive, the shipments aver
aged 16,531 packages.
One of the witnesses before the
Congressional committee testified on
Thursday that there were two more
white Republicans in Morehouse
parish. La., than there were offices,
and that was the cause of all the
trouble In that parish; that "the on
ly poll where any disturbance occur
red gave a Republican majority and
was counted in by the returning
board, and all the others couuted
out.”
Thomas J. Andkhhon was arrested
In White county, Ga„ the other day,
for complicity in a murder commit
ted in North Georgia in 1861. He
wus one of a squad of Gen. Wheeler's
cavalry who killed John Cramer, in
White county, that year. The squad
stopped at Cramer’s house, got into
a quarrel with him and shot him.
Anderson, being the only one of the
party who remained in the county,
was arrested iu 1866, found guilty us
an accessory, and sentenced to three
y’ears in the penitentiary, but escaped
while oh his way to that institution,
and has been at liberty until recap
tured the other day. He Is now in
Fulton county jail.
A dispatch of the American Press
Association mentions that oil Thurs
day Mr. Knott, chairman of the
House Judiciary Committee, obtain
ed from the Congressional library a
copy of the 'lelegraph of 1873, which
contains an order issued to local
managers of the Western Union Tel
egraph Company, and signed by
Wtn. Orton, as President, in which
the right of the managers to furnish
private dispatches when called for,
is legally reoognlzed. This order in
structs the manager, under what cir
cumstances they ar<t to furnish dis
patches. Speaker Randall and
Proctor Knott are elated over discov
iog this order, which they say places
Mr. Orton in an embarrassing posi
tion.
The New Orleans Democrat of Fri
day has telegraphic reports of the
testimony taken on the previous day
by the Congressional sub-committees
in reference to the election in West
Feliciana and Morehouse parishes.
These were the two parishes which
the Radical returning board threw
out entirely. The testimony in refer
ence to West Feliciana was mostly
given by Republicans, and was to the
effect t hat the election was fair and
eutirely free from any kind of intiin.
Hatton. The colored Postmaster of
Bayou Sara and the Republican cx-
Sheriff of the parish testified to this
effect. The evidence also went to
show that there had been some whip
ping done for stock and cotton steal
ing, but that it had no reference to
politics and was approved by Repub
licans as well as Democrats. Tho
only “bulldozers” known in the pa
rish were organized by E. L. Weber,
a Republican, and parties believed
that he had something to do with
the killing of John Qair.
In Morehouse, as the testimony of
both Democrats and Republicans
showed, there were no rifle compa
nies and there was no intimidation.
‘Hayes and thb South.”— We copy
the Cincinnati Commercial's article
with the exception of an extraot
which it endoroed from a former ed
itorial of that paper. It is not of a
character to attract much ntteution,
except for the fact that Gov. Hayes
himself sent it to a citizen of Augus
ta, Ga., In answer to an inquiry as to
his proposed Southern policy. As
an exposition of that policy, we con
sider it indefinite and unsatisfactory.
It nowhere says that Grant has ex
ceeded or abused bis authority in his
military Interference in the local af
fairs of the Southern States, nor does
it promise any abandonment of the
persecutions of the Southern people
under the Enforcement and Civil
Rights acts, which the Supreme
Court has pronounced unconst ution
al in principle and detail. It is vague
and capable of evasion in any prac
tical application. If Hayes thinks
that the people of the South can be
caught by any such chaff, he has
greatly mistaken their intelligence.
Murray’s circus sailed from New
York for Demarara last October,
since which time nothing has been
heard of them, and it thought their
vessel, a three masted schooner,
must have foundered.

much in the electoral college as in the
Oregonian head that did’nt seem to know

tii s; poi.i nr ai, arrt’ATißV
The interest In this subject is so
great that we can hardly abstain from
having something to say about it
dally, even though there is little that
shells upon it new light. Such is the
case to-day. We see no indications
yet of any relaxing of the purpose *>f
the Radical leaders to "count In"
Huyes In spite of all legnl difficulties
and precedents affecting the case. The
renewed interference with the Flori
da officials to prevent them from re
vising the canvass in accordance with
the order of the Supreme Court, shows
an obstinate persistence in their orig
inal purpose; and the report of an In
terview with Mr. Ferry, copied else
where, Indicates very plainly that if
the matter is left In Its present state
—that is, If there is no agreement by
tbs two branches of Congress upon
scute rule that will control hi* action
—ho will aid the extreme Radicals in
so counting the Electoral Vote as to
make out a majority for Hayes, and
will then proclaim him elected.
We repent what wo have said here
tofore, that we can see no reliable
way of preventing this except the
culling forth of such an overpower
ing expression of public sentiment
against it as will overawe the con
spirators at Washington. They have
shown quite plainly that they will
pay no regard to legal restraints or
established forms, and that ail at
tempts to check them by such means
will be unavailing. But lot them
find that they have to deal with a
iwople who "know their lights, and
knowing dare maintain,” and the ef
fect may be very different. We look
with hope to the great meetings of
the Bth of January for such expres
sions of the popular determination
as will "call a bait” in the Radical
programme, and even make the mili
tary "despot quake behind bis ad.i
mantlnegates.” It would have been
better if such expressions bad come
sooner -when the Ratjjculs who rely
on fraud and force could have backed
out with a belter grace—but we trust
that they may yet come in time.
THE BARKICAItKD STATE HOI ST.
Finn nf Orgnnlilng tho I.ryrU.
luturc with the Aiilituaco r Police,
11. ! . , .
From tho New Orleans Democrat, 29th.],
A committee of the holding over
Democratic Hemttora called oil Kel
logg this morning to know what whs
the reason for barricading and foiti
fving tiie State House, and what lie
iKellogg) proposed to and > in reference
to tne Logisla me on Monday m-xt.
This committee, consisting of Messrs.
Robertson, Grover, Emus, Ogden
and Goode, called at the State House
about 12 m. and was showu into Kel
logg’s office.
* They inquired abo';tthe barricades
erected within the State House, and
desired to know whether it would be
so barricaded on Monday.
Mr. Eustis. as speaker said :
Sir -Some of mv constituents de
sire to exercise their constitutional
right to be present ut the assemhmg
of the Legislature. Understanding
that the State House is being barri
caded, I deure to kuow whether any
thing will be done to obstruct them
iu this ?
Kellogg—The State House will be
barricaded. Citizens, however, who
desire to witness the assembling of
the Legistuttirc, having the right,
will be admitted, but only from or
ders from myself or Mr. Autoine.
Eustis -Then I understand t hat if
citizens are denied ingress it will be
umier your orders ?
Kellogg—Yes; if the police refuse
admittance, it will be from orders
given them, uuless they misconstrue
these orders. Orders are always
liable to misconstruction.
Eustis—By wnat authority, may I
ask. do you refuse admittance to
peaceable citizens?
Kellogg-1 claim that right and
power us preserver of the public
peace.
Eustis-And you claim the rigiit to
station guards to control the ingress
to the Hall of Representatives ?
Kellogg—l do.
Eustis—Under what law?
Kellogg—Ou the advice of the At
torney General.
Eustis-Will you not send for the
Statute of 1872, that places the State
House under the charge of a door
keeiKtr appointed by the Chairman
of the House?
Kellogg—l have been advised bv
two Attorney Generals that, as keep
er of the State House, I possess the
right to station guards at its doors.
Eu-tis-But the law gives the con
trol of tiie House to its door keeper.
Kellogg—That is not. my construc
tion of the law, or that ot the Attor
ney General.
Eustis—Do you not concede to a
eoatestHnjt, a uou-returning member,
the right to come within the State
House on the day of Ihef rgauizution
of tiie Legislature?
Kellogg—Remaps he has that
right.
Eustis—Do you dispute the right of
a contestant to come on tiie floor of
the House of Representatives?
Kellogg—Yes, lie lias no more right
there limn any oilier citizen.
Eustis—Do you then Hike the right to
decide who shall participate in the meet
ing ol' Legislature?
Kellogg—ln my general power to pre
serve the peace, I deem this a necessary
construction of the law. I will not per
mit a mob lo invade the House of Repre
sentatives.
Enstis—Do you call contestants a mob?
Kellogg—No.
Kellogg then branched off into a history
of the organization.of the House in 1874
by force. This he intended to prevent
this year.
Taming to Mr. Trezesant, Clerk of the
House, who was present, he said : "Yo tr
duties are perfectly clear. Yon have only
to read the list furnished you by the Sec
retary of State.”
Upon this a protest was made by the
gentlemen present, who Insisted on the
right of every person elected to enter the
State House on the day of meeting.
Mr. P, Trezevnnt, Clerk of the House
Of Representatives, also protested against
the action of Kellogg in shutting, barri
cading and fortifying the building, so as
to interfere with the organization of the
House, of which be was Clerk.
—Three negro boys, named Woodson
Carter, Henry Jones and Znch waits, were
on Wednesday committed to jail in At

registered letters in the bag. The rob
bery was committed on the 18th Inst.

Washington, Dec. 27, 1870.
IfGenerul Grant would only go to
Long Branch during the ChrUtmu*
holidays, there would he scurceh
anything, but hot weather, wanting
to remind us of summer, for many
members and Senators have returned
to the bosom of their eonstltuegcies;
thousands of Government clerks,
male and female, have gone to tbeii
homes in the different States, which
they have not seen since they had
forty days leave of absence, without
reduction of ]y, to go home and
vote for Hayes and Wheeler or be
discharged, without intimidutiou(V)
Washington is ns dull at suntmei
during this season. IA sprinkling
of cadets from Annapolis and West
Point, (no city inis so many scions
educated at Government expense as
Washington), a few halls, tabbaux,
and church festivals, coming imme
diately after legislative turmoil, ami
in tho midst of incipient revolution,
has an effect to make us indifferent
to tile vicissitudes of life ami modi
itate rashness, matrimony, or at
le.ist to give us that nil ailniiranlum
air, soeliarmingly affected by Mies
Shoddy wheo slio says, yes, this re
minds me when I went to "Venui”on
the‘ - Atleratly”aml svw the pyramid
of Chops. A few members Congress,
of however, remain, working (luting
the holidays on the vatiuus commit
tees; among them tlic indefatigable
Holman, Chairman of the Com mi t e
ou Appropriations. Almost every
week results in disclosures which
justify the economy of which lie inis
so long been the expou -nt ami fot
which he Imi been the best abused
Democrat on tlie floor. The latest
discovery is that tho pay roll ol
the Patent Office contains u
large number of fictitious
names, aud that favorites rep
resented by these names have been
drawing pay for which they render
ed uo equivalent in work. These
furads occasion no sensation in Wash
ington, we are used to them ; nil ud
mirandum is our motto; no originali
ty, aud are no longer effective even
iu painting a moral. Indeed there
are excuses for these lr.tuls. Mr.
Chandler cannot bo expected to set
to every tiling; before the election
ho was disbursing clerical assess
ments; since-then tie lias been en
grossed with the Returning Boards,
atfd it would be requiring too much
of mortal Cabinet Minister to ask
him to give his entire attention to
tlie side show called the Interior De
partment of which the Patent Office
forms a part. Nor should the lion.
Mi. Duell, Commissioner of Patents,
be too soveiely blamed. He also has
done the party good service—notably
iu attaching an illuminated supple
meiittoun official circular through
which thousands of applicants Tor
patents were informed that owing to
the reduction of force made by the
lust Congress their cases could not
be attended to with the usual prompt
ness. Under cover of this circular,
tlie employees of the Pu’ent Office
were enabled to leave for forty days
and render valuable assistance in the
campaign. Now it, is feared that
Judge Holman will insist upon
further reduction of Mr. Duell’s
force, nnd cripple still further the
oflidenoy of the department as a po
litical machine. But worst of all,
there is a wide spread impression
thut Mr. Tilden will offer Judge Hol
man theSecretaryshlp of tlie Interior
Department, where his penchant foi
meddling with expenses, crippling
machinery, and saving money to tux
payers would produce a contrast un
complimentary to its present admin
istration, and prove more effective
than illuminated circulars, or oven
than money wrung from government
clerks in keeping the bloody econom
ical Democrats in power.
Those with whom I have convers
ed are not very hopeful that the joint
committee will effect a solution of
the Presidential difficulty. The Sen
ator whose influence the advocates of
constitutional methods most fear, is
Mr. Morton, of Indiana, and yet he
has placed himself more squarely on
record Ilian any other Senator, to the
effect that the Vice President has no
right to count the vote, and that Hie
inability of both Houses to agree
upon a State presenting two returns
must deprive that State of its voice
iu the Electoral College. He is the
author of a bill embodying these
theories, which passed the Senate
no later than last session. Mr. Mor
ton has, however, been on both sides
of so many questions, that it will em
prise everybody if he should
be consistent in this. But as he turua
this time he will turn under the
scrutiny or 40,000,000 of people aided
by the magnifying powers of 8.000
newspapers; for, although the j*>ur*
nals edited by postmasters, which
compose so large a portion of these,
hope to proiit by his tergiversation,
and will doubtless attempt its pallia
tion, iu recording his vote, they will
record the fact.
Democratic members are in daily
receipt of letters which give assur
ance of tlie largest and most u tani
ntous political demonstration on the
Bth of January, in recognition or the
eleoiion of Tilden, that have ever
been known in this country. They
are assured that Republicans will
very generally participate, and in
many localities take the lead in
urging compliance with the verdict
of the majority. C. A. S.
Tlie Herald has come to the conclusion
Unit Cham tier lain is “either a Catiline u
a mstiisc,” with the balance of probability
in favor of the latter hypothesis.
