THE DAILY TIMES. JGHX H. MARTIN. - - - K4ltar. Colnmbna. fJi.. SUNDAY DECEM BEK 31. 1873. LARGEST CIRCULATION In Ik. CaaatlM >• ■* Tr.llkl at ('•laakn. 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. . The Oregon “vacancy” was not so much in the electoral college as in the Oregonian head that did’nt seem to know • constitutional provision from a postage stamp. —Brooklyn Argus. 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 lanta in default of S7OO each, on a ehtrge of stealing and rifling a mail bag at Social Circle. They obtained $176.50 from two registered letters in the bag. The rob bery was committed on the 18th Inst. - On Wednesday three vessels cleared from Savannah for Liverpool, with an ag gregate of 9.256 bales upland cotton, weighing 4,318,103 pounds, and valued at $446,479.89, and 134 bales sea island cotton, weighing 50,955 pounds, and valued at $14,789. WASHIRUTSS I.KTTIiU, CHRISTMAS-A COMMITTEE THAT DOES NOT REST-AN APOLOGY To MESSRS. CHANDLER AND Dt'ELL - JUDGE HOL MAN MEDDLING WITH THEIR MACHINE RV—TURN THE CALOIUM LIOHTS ON SENATOR MORTON! LOOK. LOOK I ! HE WILL-PKRPORM 1118 INIMITABLE EVOLU TION, OR WE WILL HAVE OUIt MONEY BACK. From onr Regular Correspondent.] 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.
