At a meeting of passenger agents
held in New York on Tuesday, the
following advance in isseugor rates
was determined upon by the Trunk
lines: New York to Cleveland, $8 to
$11; to Toledo, $lO to $13.50; to De
troit, $lO to sl2: to Chicago, sl3 to
$18: to St, Louis, sl7 to, $23; to In

The Democrats of New York city
are arranging for an immense meet
ing, or two or three meetings, in that
city on the Bth instant. They will
and their voice, on that day, to the
great popular demand for the instal
lation of the President electo dby

Turks is something a little lu
dicrous, notwithstanding the gravity
of the situation, in the telegraphic*
report that Turkey is ready for war
with Russia, but the latter is not and
wishes to avoid an immediate con
flict. The “powers” that have been
so anxious to protect Turkey from
Russia must now feel that their
“love’s labor’s lost.”
A number of reports from Wash
ington concur in the statement that
the Radicals are weakening in their
scheme to ootint in Hayes by the ar
bitrary action of the President of the
Senate, and that they are now inclin
ing to the factious plan of prolong
ing the contest until the 4th of
March, so as to prevent the "lection
of a President by the House.
We learn from the Baltimore Ga
zette that Sergeat Bates is now living
atSaybrook, Ills., with his wife and
five children, ia great poverty, and
is frequently dependent upon public
charity for asubsistenco. His neigh*
bors consider him a shiftless, uo ac
count fellow, and his flag-bearing
achievements have earned for him
the reputation of being a fool. Such
is the vanity of human expectation.
Silver is quoted as declining again.
It is stated.that* three weeks ago it
was worth 90 cents in the dollar,
(gold! but now i worth anlydft cents.
This only proves the ability of the
speculators to produce fluctuations
In silver (as they do in gold), but
does not porovo that sliver ought not
therefore to be mode legal tender.
In spite of these fluctuations, silver
has always a value nearly reaching its
nominal standard; and a Government
which could make btta of paper, In
trinsically of no value, legal tender?,
ought not to scruple at doing the
same for silver, though It may be
slightly depreciated at times by the
aperatio&s of speculators.

The New Orleans democrat thus
exposes some of the inconsistencies
of the returning board of Louis hint,
in throwing out votes; ' In twenty,
five parishes the Democratic vote fat
Governor is in excess of the eutire
number of white voters in these
parishes, showing conclusively that
large numbers of negroes voted the
Democratic ticket. None of these
parishes weut Democratic, and, as a
consequence, polls were throw u out
because the Democratic vote exceed
ed the white registration. In the
sixteen others, notwithstanding the
Democratic negroes, the Radicals
carried the parishes, yet not a poll is
counted out. In Caldwell, the Dem
ocratic vote is 31 in excess at the'
white registration, and in Richmond
193, and all but one poll is thrown
out. Yet in Ascension'the Demo
cratic vote etoeedethe whitft vote s2l,
in Concordia 146. Ibervile 105, Point*
Coupee 219, St. John 156. St. Mary
196, and so Assumption, West Baton
Rouge, Caddo, Franklin, Lincoln,
Rapides, Sabine, Tangipahoa, etc.,
aa excess of 3,103 votes over the white
registered vote or these peaceful
arishes, in which the negro vote fell
back at the same time 7,431. That is,
in fourteen parishes the Democratic
vote is 2,103 in excess of the yhite
vote, and the Republican vote 7,431
behind the negro registered vote, or
a Republican loss, the Radical papers
would call it, of 9,534. The bulldozed
parishes show ao to this.”

Some of the “sound and fury’’
Democratic press of the country—
North as well as South—are now
nitaeklug Gov. Hampton, of South
PnroiJnA, on account of his letter to
Gov. Hayes. They censure him for
writing to Hayes at all, and they And
objection to some sentiments in his
letter, though they are not very ex
plicit in stating them.
Wo hive oarefully re read Oov.
Hampton’s letter, and as thought
fully considered the circumstances
under which It was written, and in
our judgment there is no good ground
for unfavorable criticism. We do not
the letter a single sentence
which even intimates any concession
to the Radical demands in behalf ol
Hayes. The following is the only
portion of the letter which can pos
sibly be distorted to mean any such
thing:
" I he Inflammatory uttoranccs of a por
tion of the public press renders it, per
h>ips,uot inopportune for me to state itiat
■clthi’iigh the people in South Carolina

ical conjuncture lu the affairs of our coun
try, which threatens to subject to au ex
treme tee), the Republican system of gov
ernment I teed. It la their tirm and delib
erate purpose to condemn any solution ol
the existing political problem that In
volves Uiu exhibition of un urinel force, or
that moves through any other channel
lhan the prescribed foi mu of tho constitu
tion or the peßoelul agencies of law.
‘•Trusting that a Bmution may bo had
which, while maintaining the peace of the
country, shall do no violence to the con
stitutional eafcgumds of popular rights,
and will tend stlti (Irmly to Unite the peo
ple of all theßtatcs In an earnest effort to
preserve tho peace afid sustain the laws
and Coustltuion," Ac.
The one proposition in this extract
is a disclaimer and condemnation of
are sort to force tosettle the Presi
dential complication. Against which
party is this directed? which parly
tnuat first resort to force? which party
Is even now making the “exhibition
>f sn armed force’’ against which
Geu. Hamilton protests? No one Is
tnukiog it except Gen. Grant in be
half of the Radical party. It may
very safely be asserted that if Geu.
Grunt an<Tthe Radical party will ob
serve ‘the prescribed forms of the
constitution and the peaceful agen
cies of law,” the Democrats will ob
serve them and begoverned bythem.
The whole danger of a conflict lies in
the disregard of these forms and
agencies by Gen. Grant and the Rad
ical party. This being the case, Gen.
Hampton’s language amounts only
to a condemnation of and protest
against what the Radicals are doing
and are threatening to do.
Gen. Hampton implores a peace
ful solution of thegi .difficulty,
but he says it must be a so
lution which "shall do no vio
lence to the constitutional
safeguards of popular rights.” Is
there aDy Democrat anywhere—
especially any Southern Democrat—
who will not be content with a peace
ful solution which maintains the
rights of the people? It is the rights
of the people ugain&t returning board
frauds, illegal assumption of power
L>y the President of the Senate, and
the “exhibition of armed force” by
Grant, that the Democratic party is
striving to maintain in this contest.
Let the Radicals refrain from these
aggressions on the rights of the peo
ple, and no Democrat will counsel a
resort to force. This is all that Gen.
Hampton’s letter can fairly be con
strued to mean, and thus construed
it ought to meet the approval of
every friend of Tiiden and Hendricks,
for it plauts their cause upon the
Very strongest position It can occupy.
There might be some reason in the
carping about Hampton writing to
lHayes; if he had written to Huyes
alone, and not to Tiiden. Bat the
dispatch giving the text of the letter
lejtpressly stated that it was sent
also to Gov. Tiiden, It appeared in
it be papers addressed to Hayes, sim
ply became Hayes’ copy was first
(given to tiurprws for publication. If
the letter was a proper one at all,
there was no impropriety in address

Messrs. Editors: Your correspond
ent who writes a special communica
tion in this morning’s Tires, seems
to be.of some authority by the name
he assumes, Rex, which as I under
stand It means "A King” or “The
King.” Now, os it is hardly likely
io suppose that “we have a Bourbon
among us, ” thsn we may naturally
suppose that at any rate a person
who supports the idea In Govern
ment of “A King” or “Tho King,” is
in common parlance “a Tory” as has
always been understood, in America
since the difficulties between the Col
onles in America and George 111,
King, Defender of the Faith, &c.,&c.,
of Great Britain (Fraucc?) and Ire
land, and I suppose "the rest of man
kind.”
And yet, forsooth, this “Rex” or
“King” or "friend of a King” seems
to havo his mind placed in a state ol
trouble by the “dauger to a Republi
can form of government by the great
floating vote in America, by citizens
being allowed to vote on issues, who
have no particular interest in the
prosperity and welfare of the coun
try.” *
Thus in bis first point he attacks
at onco the principle of universal suf
frage, which makes it manifest that
popular government as used by the
people of Georgia is not a part of his
political faith.
Next he commences a statement
about what he says he finds in pages
of history about ancient times and
ambitious men and their followers
proclaiming their theories and prin
ciples, and winds up his “yaru” by
the question, are not the examples ui
South Carolina, Florida and Louisi
ana fresh in the minds of every Amur
lean citizen?
Then Rex. the King, goes on to
state that somebody told him and
others (for he says > “we are told”)
thut the President, his Cabinet and
the United Staten army controlled
these matters; Hnd after some ques
tions about United States officials in
terfering in tho elections above
named, and floating votes of voters
who have no Interest in the material
prosperity in these States, tho Repub
lican party us connected with the
material interests of these States, be
e,omes to this conclusion : “Tne syl
logism is, there would have been no
interference but for the flouting
vote.”
Then comes anctheryarn about, the
boast and pride of Georgians in the
condition of Geuiyia to-day (notwith
standing her floating vote); then
“Rex” His Majesty gets quite exu
berant on the anchor of “Suite
Rigbts,” the Old Ship “Repubiicun
Government,” ”E Pluribus Unum of
nations,” and such stuff, and winds
up as we suppose the Divine Right
of Kings will always presume to do,
namely, ho recommends a divine
remedy to protect Georgia and to the
General Assembly by the passage
of such laws as will protect the purify
of the ballot. Then comes another
tirade about floating vote, bad men,
armed with money, lethargy to come
when the people will be deceived,
&e., and concludes, “Is there safety
Id the presentcoudition of the laws?”
Iu auswer to which questions, I say
there is safety in the present condi
tion of the laws of the United States.
First. There is safety iu the Consti
tution and laws made iu accordance
with it and now making what are the
laws Of the Uoited States.
Yet while this is true of the laws of
the Republic, by any cause has faileu
in the hands of any party, who by
corruption and maladministration,
Usurps and seta aside the laws of any
|*irty, I think it eutirely out of the
question to charge such usurpation,
Corruption and tyranny on the sys
tem of Jaws.
i Second, There is safety to States
themselves in the condition of the
laws in their Federal relations, also
lu khelocal taws of the States-evi-
Hence of this is seen to-day, espe
cially in this good State of
Georgia. It was well known how
£few years ago, the administration
flaw was in the hands of Bullock
nnd Ox, and yet with the condition
of the iates as they are, the people
Nsith the floating vote as it is now by
law, have redeemed the Government
fa*Georgia, and placed it on as good
footing as aD.v State in the Union.
And yet, with this before us, we the
iiwople are perfectly sure that with
Sthis very floating vote we can amend
khe present Constitution, so as to
place such political bulwarks around
the Government of Georgia as shall
protect the virtue, honesty and puri
ty of her people. With these views,
allow me to say while lam no King
or King’s man. I am a believer in
Constitutional Liberty and Uni
versal Suffrage of Citizens.
Law Point Sf.iti.ed. - A decision
lias been rendered under the usury
laws of New York. The plaint iff- iu
the case had purchased of tlie defen
dant a promissory uote which turned
•out to be void on account of the ille
gal rate of interest mentioned in it.
The action was to recover the money
paid for the note, and tin all v recoil
ed the Supreme Court, w lere it was
decided in the plaint ill s favor on
two grounds: Firsi, it was held that
in selling the note there was an im
plied warrant on the |art of the
vendor that it wa-t what it purported
'tobe—-a legal, valid instrument. Se
cond. as the note was not a legal in
strument, it was entirely without
value, the plaintiff received nothing
for hia money, and upon such total
failure of consideration was entitled
to recover his pavraent. There can,
iin this instance, be nodoubt of coin
cidence of law and justice, whatever
may be thought of the expediency of
the.laws intervention to protect peo
pie from the consequences of their
own carelessness or ignorance in
purchasing worthless paper.

til* wind seemed to be running to the
idea ol anew election in June.
it Is represented by wed Informed per-
TANARUS that lie has lately declared, In coil
sutlon, that the whole Louisiana bu.l
iiSss was rotten, and that the Electoral
vote of the Btate ought to be thrown out.
ill > eetei day’s talk lie said nothing about
using the army or tnrnlng over me Gov
ernmeut to Hayes. Observer.
The abovu special appeared lu yes
terduy eveuiug’s edition of the Pica-
June, and coutuius a repetition of uu
error into which tbo President, in
common with many distinguished
men, lu and out of Congress, has
(ullen. Ho is reported as saying
"that the 4th of of March might ar
rive before a settlement eouhl be
reached. He thought that in such
case the President of the Senate
would become acting President and
convene Congress.”
There is uo warrant In the Consti
tui ion for the preseut President of
the Senate, or any other member of
Itye Senate who uiuy, prior to March
4, be substituted for him, to become
me acting President in ihe place of
filden or Huyes after March 4, lu case
neither may be inaugurated. The
only provision in the Constitution to
cover such a vacancy Is found lu
the 12th amendment, uud is in these
words:
“And if the House of Representatives
shall not choose a President, whenever
the right of choice shall devolve upon
them, before Lhe fourth day of Mat ch next
following, then the Vice President, shall
act as President, as in the case of
death or other cousUiutionai disability.”
The framers of the Constitution
provided : Firet-That the President
and Vice President should be chosen
by electors. Becoud—That if not
chosen by electors, the House should
elect the President and the Senate
the Vice President. Third Tuat if
the House faded to elect belore the
fourth of March, then the Vice Pres
ident elected by the Senate should
become President.
They had to stop somewhere In
providing lor future contingencies,
and they saw fit to stop just here.
There exists uo constitutional pro
vision for tilling the chair of the
President when the electors fait, and
when after that the House fails to
elect the President snd the 8- nate
also fails to elect a Vice President.
It was thought, doubtless, that
they had covered all reasonable cud
lingcnciesand they mopped. They
might have ma lea dozen more pro
visions to meet contingencies, bui
they did not do it and that is an end
of the discussion.
The error committed arises from a
careless reading of section 146, United
States R ivised Statutes, which is in
these words:
"In case of removal, death, resignation
or inability of tuvh tn P.csi.lent and Vice
President of the United St ites, lhe Presi
dent of the Senate, or. if there is none,
then tho Speaker of the lb u-6 of Repre
sentatives shall act as President for the
time being until the disability is removed
or a President elected.”
The first condition is “removal.”
It will not be urged that either Til
den or Hayes can be removed, nutil
they have once moved into the seat.
The second is death of the President.
Must they not once live as President
before they can die as President?
The third is resignation. Wnat kind
of a resignation is it of an office be
fore its duties have been assumed?
The fourth is “inability" of both
President and Vice President; ina
bilityof an existing President or Vice
President is clearly the meaning, an
inubilitv arising after they had utice
had the ability, such us from bodily
or mental disease.
This statute refers, beyond all
question, io vacancies occuriug dur
ing u current term of a President and
Vice President, and has no reference
whatever to such a case as will arise
on the 4th of March, 1877—if there is
a failure by the Electoral College—
by the House and bi the SentHe, to
elect President or Vice President.
An inspection of the debates in the
convention on the subject excludes
the idea which President Graut and
many others buve conceived on the
subject.
The assumption of the President
ial chair on the 4th of March by any
President of the Senate, except a
duly elected Vice President, would
be. beyond all question, unconstitu
tional and revolutionary.
