Got. Hcbbard of Connetlcut, in hi*
message on Tuesday, said truly that tbe
American people are accuitomed to re
spect tbe law, simply becouse it is law;
and do not need its fiaible symbols be
fore their eyes, In the shape of swords
and shoulder straps, to remind them of
their obligation to obey it. ,
It Is stated that the, appropriation
for the transportation of United
States notes and securities for the
present fiscal year Is exhausted, and
unless a deficiency appropriation la
immediately made the Treasury will
not be able to move funds from one
point to another, and the insult will
be the virtual suspension of payment
by the Government in several locali-
ties.
Tub Philadelphia Public Record,
(Ind.) says: ‘‘No man can afford to hold
the Preaidency upon a doubtful tenure, or
even tinctured with the shadow of fraud.
We Imagine no one can be found .outside
of politics' who would tie willing that tbe
•returning board*’ of Louisiana and Flor
ida should elect a President for him. It
is therefore useless to expect the people
to acquiesce in any decision baled upon
their action alone.”
Tux acrimonious and unoolted
for warfare on Hon. B. H. Hill, late
ly made by a portiou of the Georgia
press, appears to have strength Shed
rather than weakened him. The
Newnan Herald says|that It has
heard of one member of the LeglsU*
ture who was undetermined for
whom ho would cast his vtjle for
United States Senator until this last
attack on Mr. Hill, who now says he
will vote for that gentleman. And
the Forest News, of Jefferson, Jack
son county, says; “We have been
entirely averse to losing Mr. Nor
wood from the Senate, but we are
now inolined to urge Mr. Hill’s
claims to a seat there."
ft -* ♦ •
■ “I warn the Senate,” said Senator
Carpenter (Bep.) in 1874, "that if it
should happen that a Presidential
election should turnon the vote of
Louisiana, situated as that is, and
an attempt were made to use tuat
corrupt return, It would be followed
by civil war, for no people would sub
mit to the Insolence of such au out
rage.”
The return from Louisiana, of
which Mr. Carpenter was then speak
ing, was precisely like the one which
his party now propose to count for
Hayes. It was made up by the re
turning board, by casting out Demo
cratic votes, and the two houses of
Congress concurred in rejecting it,
on Mr. Carpenter's motion. But the
rejection of it then did not defeat the
Republican candidate for the Presi
dency.
Thf, Maoon Tdetfraph says that it
is authorized by Hon. Thomas M.
Norwood to say that “Oath’s” report
of an interview with our Senator,
published in the New York Graphic,
is utterly untrue in every essential,
And the Augusta ConsfftufionrtKsf lias
it "from the highest authority” that
the reported interview, in which Mr.
Norwood Was reported as speaking
so disparagingly of Mr. Hill, Is "a
fabrio of misrepresentations.”
We remarked to fftehds, when this
feported’Tnterview first mstoor eye,
that we were satisfliek^tßitlt was iln

What Ferry Will Do.—The New
York Washtfigtdn correspond
ent undertakes to say that acting
Vice-President Ferry ‘Will dfc&W
any rule for counting the Bleethial
Votes whioh Congress may (adopt bc
fOre k tfee MVedfidsdfty in February f
that if no suoh role is adopted by
that day, he will proceed to open ahd
count all the votes except those from
Oregon, Sooth Carolina, Loul’&laH,'
and Florida; and If by the 3rd of
March the two houses of Congress
bate fanefitb agree which fire the
proper and legal votes from these
States, Mr. Ferry Will “proceed to act
In accordance with the Constitution
as he interprets it”-which mast
mean that he will then decide which
are the legal and proper returns, ahd
declare ffie result.
Now we submit that Mr. Ferry Will
act very inconsistently and unwar
rautably if he does any such thing oh
the 3d of March, ifiy declaring bis in
tention to be governed byjahylrtife of
Congress, and by waiting until the
3d of March tor Congress to decide
disputed questions, he wlll aekhdwl
edge the plenary jurisdiction o f Con
gress In the matter, and he esnfiet
Without usurpation undertake to do
the work of Congress because Con
gress may tail to do it. Mr. Ferry
must see that the constitution
makes the House Of Represen
tatives, not tbe President of tbe
Senate, the arbiter in the event
of tho failure of the two houses
to agree as to tbe fact of an election
by the Electors; and it is his duty,
therefore, to announce the fact <ST
such disagreement (if it should occur)
in time to permit the House to eject
a President febrore tbe 4th of March.
Mr. Ferry maybe assured that the
country will be much better disposed
towards a President elected by the
House In a cohsttiutioßfil manner
than towards one of his election by
usurping powers which belong to the
House.
WON’T INTERFERE.
Gen. Grant’s refusal to interfere In
the Louisiana contest, though urg
ently solicited to do so by both Kel
logg and the Radical Legislature,
only proves that he and bis party
peroelve the neoesalty of being “on
their good behavior” just at this time.
For this great reform in administra
tive policy the country Is indebted
to the exhibition of Democratic
strength In the Presidential election,
and to the fact that a Democratic
House of Representatives Is In session
at Washington. Kellogg never before
made an appeal in apparent confor
mity to the constitutional forms, and
yet be always, previously to this call,
got troops and interference when be
asked for them, Npw he and his so
called Legislature are told, In effect,
that their legitimacy is doubtful—for
the reminder that their claim is being
Investigated by Congress amounts to
that, TMy are told, substantially,
that Congress, and not tbe President,
will decide which is the rightful gov
ernment of Louisiana, if the contest
continues. Such diffidence or for
bearance was never exhibited by Gen.
Grant’s administration until now,
and it would have come with a much
better grace if exhibited before the
President was compelled to “make a
merit of necessity.”
We have anticipated such a refusal
to Interfere in the local politics of
Louisiana, as well as of South Caro
lina and Florida. It would be dam
aging to the Radical party in the
present crisis, and would Intensify
Democratic opposition to. the fraud
ulent and forcible Inauguration of
Hayes, because It would show beyond
all question tbat the extreme Radi
calism and carpet-bag favoritism that
has always marked Grant’s adminis
tration would be continued under
Hayes.
There is no difference In principle
between the claim of Packard now
And that of Kellogg in 1872 and his
Legislature In 1874. All were rejected
by the people and elected by the re
turning boards. The Democrats £on
tested then as now, but were then
confronted by the Federal military,
Gatling guns, &c. The change in the
policy of the administration Is a
great moral triumph of the conserva
tive people of the whole country,
w*hlch they can now make permanent
by continued firm opposition to fraud
and usurpation at every stage.
[The following article, as it appear
ed in our paper of Sunday morning,
was unintelligible because of errors
made in putting It in type. Wethere
fore re-produce it as corrected:]
HOST KEBELLIOUS.
The threat repeatedly made
through the Administration organ at
Washington, that If the House of
Representatives should attempt to
elect a President without the concur
rence of tbe Senate, the members will
be arrested for treason, Is the most
rebellious and treasonable proposi
tion yet made. 'The duty of electing
a President in a named contingency,
is one solemnly devolved on tbe House
by tbe Constitution. Neither tbe
President nor tbe Senate has any
thing to do with it. It is a matter ex
dusively within the jurisdiction of
the House, and beiog exclusively
within the province of tbe House,
it is of course for the House to
determine whether the occasion
for its exercise exists. This
must be left to the discre
tion of the House, becatiso
there is no power whioh can make
the House elect if it decides that thbre
is no such occasion; or, if there
is such a power, it must be judi
cial— certainly not executive or mili
tary. This discretion of tbe fioilse
is positive ns well as negative. If ho
other department of the Govern
ment can make it elect a President
when in the judgmefat of the House
the contingency does not exist, so ho
other department can rightfully pre
vent it from electing when it decides
that the'emergency exists in which
the Constitution makes it Re duty
to elect. The proposition that the
President can step in with the mili
tary arm of tWGovernment and ir
rest the members of the House as trai
tors for exercising this discretion,is'fts
absurd as it is usurpatory and rebel
lious. It wquUT make the President
master of the situation inlhe deter
mination of a question with which
he bos no constitutional power to
meddle in any way whatever. Shoiild
he really attempt to carry out the
Threat of the Repu&iionfi.he would aim
at the grasping of powers careful
ly withheld from him by the Consti
tution, ahd the success of his attempt
would be the complete overthrow
of popular and Republican govern
ment in this country.

From On R*(ulw Corroepondeat.]
Wabhikotom. Jan. 3, 1877.
The larger number of the members
and Senators who made a flying visit
home during the holidays have re
turned to Washington. Your correa
pondent, after having heard the opin
ions of some of them, has come to
the conclusion that tbe effector rural
inspiration is to make stiff Democrats
rigid. Ido not think that I exagge
rate when I say there is wavering in
the coluthns of the officeholders.
Chandler’s galvanic treatment is
pretty generally conceded to have
failed, even by those who hoped to
profit by it. The situation is what
might have been expected. It was
openly said here, before the election,
that Mr. Tilden, if elected, should not
take his seat. On the 7th of Novem
ber the issue between the Republi
cans and Democrats was emphatl
callydecided. But there Immediately
arose another, and not unlooked
for issue, between the officeholders
and the people. The officeholders,
through their Interested champioriß
of the press, in theßenate and in the
Cabinet, continue to make a show of
resistance. But it is mostly “cheek”
and voice preeterea nihil. They would
all like to be a returning board and
count themselves in.
The opinion has gained wonder
fully duriug the holidays that there
will be no organized resistance to the
induction of Mr. Tilden. Republi
can members from the New England
States frankly admit that the opln
lon Is wide spread among their con
stituents that Mr. Tilden has been
fairly elected.
The office holders are not to be en
vied. The transition from office to
the ordinary means of livelihood is,
to the enervated government clerk,
like removal from a warm bed to a
snow bath, healthful, perhaps, but
as likely to kill as to cure. Tbe gov
ernment Is sick from the morbid in
fluence of 80,000 of these patients.
The faculty decided, on the 7th of
November that they must be re
moved, and that their beds must be
disinfected. They are making a
show of resistance to this heroic
treatment. But the deputies of the
faculty have no option in the matter,
and will see that its commands are
strlotly followed.
The la3t official new year’s recep
tion of the present administration
was not remarkable for any
thing but an abundance of
snow; and a superabundance of red
plumed artillery officers. Your cor
respondent took hold of tbfe soiled
but originally white kid glove that
covered the bund of tbe President of
the United States, and shook it in a
business-like way, as it was the duty
of your correspondent to do. Gen.
Grant failed to recognize in mo an
enemy of “the party which he repre
sents,” and one who has given cur
rency to some truths uncomplimen
tary to his party and bis adminis
tration, and I passed on, reflecting
that a man might, without violence
to moral sensibility take the official
digits of the President, while, to
grasp the hand of him who has done
more than any other man to bring
ruin and contempt upon Republican
Institutions, and to make 1876 the
political antipode of 1776, would be a
deed to make a consistent patriot
hesitate. We must forgive individual
wrongs and love our enemies. But
there are wrongs against a people,
against humanity, and posterity, too
stupendous and balefully far-reach
ing for any mere man to condoue.
There seems to be some truth in
the report that Mr. Tilder proposes
taking up his residence in this city
at a very early day, In order that be
may more effectively prepare for the
onerous labors that await him after
the 4th of March. From all but tbe
officeholders, who, notwithstanding
their immense numbers, are but a
small minority of our actual popula
tion,he will have a most cordial wel
come. It is also said that Mr. Hayes
will become the guest of President
Gram a few days before the latter
leaves the White- House, and that
after the 4th of March tbe relations
of host and guest will be exchanged,
ex-Preaident Gram remaining to fix
things with the army. The President
has ordered the removal of stores
and munitions of war from the arsen
al at Ut. Louis, as he told a gentle
man yesterday, “in anticipation of
trouble.” The Secletary of the
Treasury has culled for an appropri
ation to defray the expense of the
tiansportationof troops, which tbe
House considering the useless, not to
say unconstitutional and criminal
objects of their removal, will be in no
temper to grant. Already the bung
ling conspirators begin to feel the
pinch of poverty, and realize the
impotence of their ingredients, be
fore the hell-broth is half cooked.

—The Telegraph says that Macon's

Since Mr. Hill, however, has taken charge

the road is not only self sustaining, but
pays a moderate profit.

which is useful at all times, and
which now is essential. The taint
which would attach to all my pro
