It is thought that Hon. Isham G.
Harris will be chosen U. 8. Senator
for tbe long term by the Legislature
of Tennessee, now in session.
Tat Washington Union* applaud
ing tbe letter of Gen. Gordon, says:
“He mirrors the mind of all
Democrats and Conservatives. They
oaanot recognize any right to
the Presidency tout that of Mr. Til
den, and regard tbe threatened count
ing-in of Mr. Hayes as a revolution
ary act against whose commission
every patriot must protest with hie
latest breath.”
Thi Troy (Ala.) Enquirer reports
tbe failure of Mr. J‘ 8. Solomon, one
of the oldest and most influential
merchants of that place—one who
has contributed as muoh, if not more,
than any merchant in that city to
build up and attract its trade. He
made an assignment embracing
everything that he owned, which is
believed to be In excess of his liabili
ties. Mr. Solomon Is an enterprising,
liberal and gentlemanly man, and
we regret to hear of his misfortune.
His assignee is Oapt. H. D. Green.
Wx are glad to see that the Wash
ington Union of Saturday corrects a
statement concerning Hon. L. Q. C.
Lamar, which it bad made on the
previous day. It had said that “no
one of the Southern leaders, save
only Mr. Lamar, thinks it belongs to
the Senate, through the presiding
officer, to make the President.” On
Saturday it said that It had learned
from the best authority that it whs
misinformed as to Mr. Lamar's opin
ions, and that in fact he entertained
an opinion directly the reverse of
that ascribed to him. We are glad
to have this assurance that the
Southern Democratic Congressmen
are “solid” In opposition to the claim
set up for the presiding officer or the
Senate.
♦
H. C. Dibble, who was chief of the
Republican campaign committee of
Louisiana in the late canvass, testi
fied before tbe Congressional Com
mittee, the other day, that on the
Saturday before the election the Re
publican officials erased 4,500 names
from the registration lists. These
were Democrats, and it is a notorious
faotin New Orleans that nearly all
of them were entitled to vote. Of
1,343 examined before the United
States Commissioner after the elec
tion, on the charge of fraudulent
registration, all but three were dis
charged. Dlbbio also testified that
the colored registration in New Or
leans amounted to 53,485 names, and
that in his opinion the colored voters
in the city did aot number more than
14,000. If all the frauds and usurpa
tions of the returning board and
other Radios! officials could be cor
rected, it would be found that tbe
Democrats were rightfully entitled to
20,000 majority in Louisiana,lnstead
of 8,000.
Rkv. Fhobe A. Hanaford and Rev.
Dr. Justin Fulton, of New York, are
discussing the question whether
Charles Dickens is In heaven or hell.
Mrs. Phobe maintains that the mifod
and temperament that could Con
ceive the character of Llttlo Nell
must St the possessor for heaven;
and Dr. Fulton thinks that Diokebs’
own life fitted him for the other
plaoe. As the reverend disputants
can never satisfactorily settle this
question by controversy, their dis
pute will be unprofitable, and many
will be apt to think presumptudus.
The true office of religious teachers
into deal with the living, and after
death to leave judgment to Him Who
“judgeth the quick and the dead,’
Wherever the great novelist may he,
he may well claim from erring hu
manity of his timet the charity in,
Yoked bjrOrhy:
"No further eerthlmnerlfa to OUcloae.

Illinois. —The Democrats and In
dependents of the Illinois Senate
harmonized in the eleetion of officers,
and all of their caucus nominees
were declared elected by one resolu
tion. In the House, no such union
was effected, but the Independents
stood out alone. The Radicals have
78 members oi the House, the Dem
ocrats 65, and the Independent 9
showing a Radical majority of 3 over
the others. By this vote all the Rad
ical caucus nominees were elected in
the House. The preference thus
shown by the Independents fora un
ion with the Democrats is not regar
ded as favorable to the re-election of
Gen. Logan as United States Sena
tor, and the last dispatch from Spring
field says that the Republicans were
canvassing for some other and more
available candidate in the event it
should be found that Logan can't be
elected. It is generally conceded
that the Democrats and Independ
ents can elect the Senator If they will
all unite, but it is said that there is
difficulty in doing this—tho Demo
crats thinking that the little squad
of Independents demand too much.
To every business man who succeeds,
statistics tell ns, there are nineteen wbo
fail. To every loafer who manages to
loaf himself into a good thing, there are
nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety
nine, who do not. Considering the fact
that it is an infinitely harder task, in the
long ran, to loaf than to work, the loafer
certainly ought to have the sympathy of
every industrious man.
—“Righteous indignation,” is the sort
of clarified and boiled down anger that
chnreb-members indulge ih, when they
get “real mad” at each other, and do not
dare to call things by their right names.
THE TEXAS PACIFIC RAII.HOAD.
We agree with tbe correspondent
who opposes Government aid to this
road on the route and plan, and with
the eastern terminus, proposed in the
bill that has received the sanction
of the House committee. Whether,
as our correspondent says, the pro
posed Government aid is uunecessar
ily large, we oaanot say, but we have
objections to the bill stronger than
any based upon tbe amount of aid.
With its eastern terminus In North
ern Texas, where it will connect with
railroads already built running north
and northeast, but with none run
ning directly east or south, it is a
mlsoomer to call it a “Southern”
transcontinental railroad. When
freight reaches this terminus, its con
tinued transportation to St. Louis will
be cheaper than to New Orleans,
and cheaper to Philadelphia or New
York than toSavannab. The eastern
terminus ought, as our correspon
dent says, to have been Vicksburg,
and It could bo extended- to Vicks
burg with less expense, probabiy,
than for any other section of the
same length, because a railroad from
Vioksburg to Shreveport is already
about half built, and the company
owning it, being unable to complete
it, would of course dispose of it on
very reasonable terms. The only
reason for not making Vicksburg the
terminus Is that from that point tbe
Southern ports on the Mississippi
and the Atlantic would have an ad
vantage over the Northern ports.
This is precisely as it should be, inas
much as the South has no direct
share in tbe benefits of the other
Pacific railroads, constructed by the
liberal aid of the Federal Govern
ment.
We believe, too, that a gauge is
prescribed which corresponds with
those of the roads running north from
theeastern terminus, but not with the
Southern railroads that would have
to make a connection with it. This
fact, and the delay which the South
ern railroads would most likely expe
rience in maktnga connection, would
give the northern ports a great ad
vantage in first obtaining the trade
of the road and forming business ar
rangements which wonld be difficult
to break up.
Another objection to this bill is
that it can only pass with some sort
of understanding that similur aid is
also to be extended to the “Northern
Pacific Railroad”—the Utopian en
terprise which broke Jay Cooke &
Cos. and gave the start to the "pan
ic” from which we are still suffering.
There is no more use from that
“Northern Pacific Railroad” than
there is for one through the desert
of Sahara. It is doubtful whether It
would be practicable to operate a
railroad on that line through the
winter, and the character of the
country does aot afford promise that
it could ever be operated profitably
even without interruption by the
severity of the winter. The bill
agreed upon may make no provision
for the “Northern Pacific Railroad”
—most probably it does not -but we
have bud previous reports of Tom
Sqptt “arratiging" a log-rolling
scheme between his “Southern” uud
that “Northern” road, and we have
every reason to believe that the for
mer can only obtain tbe favor of
Congress in consideration of South
ern support to the latter.
It is better for tbe South to await
the inevitable building of a true
Southern Pfcciflc Railroad by indi
vidual capital and State aid, than to
aooept the spurious Southern road
proposed by Tom Scott, and by doing
so throw impedimenta rather than
facilities in the way of Southern
ports obtaining a share of the Paclf
lo trade.
NCOTTD tmi PACIFIC RAILROAD
Ootnmuniritfd)
Saturday’s telegrams bring to our
notice the fact that Mr. Thomas
Scott ia steadily pushing his grand
grab on Congress. While the Inter
est and attention of the whole coun
try is centered bn the Presidential
muddle, Mr. Soott aad the lobby are
3?erseveriffgty pursuing their little
game of robbing tbe country of mill
ioue of doliars. We really did think
that after the Information as to the
cost of this Teias Paeifle Railway
had been furnished to USis BSome Con
gress, it would refuse to entertain
any proposition emanating from Mr.
Scott by whieh the people would be
robbed and additional power placed
in the bands of a man who has but
used it In favor of the Republican
party and against the South.
The bill now before Congress is ob
jectionable to us-Fim, because more
money is asked than is necessary to
build the line. We are ready to go
into estimates to-morrow to prove
this to be the case. Second—as the
road figures under the name of u
Southern route to the Pacific,
we don’t wish It controlled under its
present charter by Mr. Scott. It
would simply be a connection of the
Pennsylvania Central. If it la a South
ern route from the AtlaDtio to the
Pacifio, let Vicksburg be its eastern
terminus. If they want branches let
them branch northward. Main line
for the South is our ultimatum.
Matters of greater moment than a
Pacific railway deserve,in our estima
tion, the undivided attention of Con
gress. We recognize the importance
of a Southern route to the Pacific,
and will favor a bill which will meet
the wishes and protect the in
terest of the South, but at the
present time, we wish to see the
whole matter shelved until after the
4th of March. Gentlemen Represen
tatives, keep your hands clean until
then at least. If, however, Tom
Scott’s money trill bring you up to
the point ef considering his bill this
session, we wHI hare something fur
ther to say on this subject, and show
What additions are needed in the char
ter to protect the Interest of the peo
ple and public money against pub
lic thieves.

The Crime Against the People.
From tbe Washington Union, lea. 9.J
It mav be set down for certain thai
tbe four million three hundred thou
sand voters who cast their ballots
for Tilden and Hendricks In Novem
ber will not lightly surrender or
abandon tbe fruits of their victory ai
the polls. To attempt to wrest it
from them by force or fraud will
prove dangerous. It was a victory of
no ordinary significance. It was
something more than a popular vote
of want of confidence in the part)
which fir eight years has held and
abused the legislative and executive
power of the Government—although
that ought to be euough. In mon
archical and aristocratic Englund no
misistry would think of retaining
office in the face of such a popular
condemnation. Our Radical cabal,
however, are seeking to hold ou to
power in contempt of the popular
verdict and In the tejlh of tiie peo
ple, although they profess that this
is a government of the people, in
which the majority should rule.
The result of theNobeutber elect ion
was an affirmative declaration by the
people in favor of those principles of
administrative reform with which
the name of Mr. Tilden has become
associated. His nomination at St.
Louis, equally with his election in
November, was much more than the
work of the people than of tbe poli
ticians.
We have had in the past a Bene
diet Arnold uud an Aaron Burr, but
never before such a cabal of desper
ate and unscrupulous politicians as
are uow seeking to turn the defeat
sustained by the Republican party in
November into a victory for Haves,
All the difficulties which have arisen,
and which embarrass the final settle
ment of the question, are to be as
cribed to these tnen and their machi
nations. They have planned and ex
ecuted the larceny of the Electoral
votes of Louisiana. South Carolina
and Florida for Hayes. In two
States (Florida and Louisiana) they
have converted a majority upon the
face ot the returns for the Democrat
ic candidate iutou manufactured and
fictitious majority for Hayes.
Neither is it any time r,>r consider
ing what may hapia-n in 1880, or how
the forcible and revolutionary inau
guration of Mr. Hayes may affect the
prospects of the Democratic pa.ty or
a Democratic candidate four years
hence. The duty of to-day is to see
that the people’s will us expressed In
1876, in accordance with the Consti
tution, is faithfully and literally ful
Ailed—and that not one jot or tittle
of the people's rights is, through
cowardice or policy, surrendered or
abated.
Chandler's Last Trump.
Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.)
Washington, Jun. fi.-Zuch Chan
dler to-day, at the expense of the Na
tional Republican Committee, sent
an agent named Belts to Alnbufna
with a trunk full of affidavits, to
which he is ordered to secure the
cross marks of negroes in different
parts of the State, to the effect tfiai
they were intimidated from vottag
the Republican ticket through fear
of violence. He has already a sup
ply from Mississippi and North Car
olina. The object is, if the two
houses agree upon a great reciproci
ty of throwing out the votes of States,
to have these States thrown out of
the electoral count, to the end of
raakiug it appear that the only Way
in which the people will be satisfied
to settle the Presidential muddle is
to have an opportunity themselves
to again pass upon it by their votes.
CONFIDENCE OF THE REPUBLICANS.
The Republicans are displaying
more confidence than ,hey have’ for
weeks. They build their hopes on
the fact that, Inasmuch as the Flor
ida Returning Board is out of exist
ence, there is no way that the wrung
can be righted. They tacitly admit
that declaring the State for Hayes
was a fraud, but rejoice to think th&t
there is no remedy to reach the ciwe.
TheD, too, the admission that the
Hayes Electors carried South Caro
lina, narrows the cheat down to one
State, and the proposition is to shock
the oountry, if possible, with a reci
tal of imaginary murders and out
rages in Louisiana, in the vain hope
that the sympathies of the Northern
people can be aroused by the manu
factured testimony. They propose
to make one more determined effort
to get the public mind in a condition
of callousness as to,whether Haves is
forced in or not. Failing in this,they
will fall back on ttte new election
dodge.

THE THIRD TERN AS AIN.
MEANING OF TttS SCHEME FOB A NEW
ELECTION.
WaaWncton Sparta] to tho Baltimore (intuit*.l
The theory which is now put forward
liy tbe ltepuliliCMns tlmt there hits I teen
no election by the people autl that there
will l>e no interregnum after the 4th of
March next, is not anew one. This was
Ht the first blush the plan ol Z icb. 'Chan
dler & Cos , immediately after 1 lie Noem
Iter ehedon. Of this lam quite certain
by renson of knowledge which Came to
me ul the time through reliable Republi
can sources. And, moreover, a gentleman
who has excellent opportunity tor obtu n-
Ing toe curliest and most reliable infor
mation from tbe iiistd**, Ims assured me
within the last week that IhU had all
along been the programme ot the Radical
leaders. It was necessary for them, he
aaid, to conceal their rivl plan Htid put
forth the theory that the Pretqlent of the
S.-nate counted the electoral votes. They
did nolexpi ct that this (add, revolution
ary scheme would be acquiesced in. It
was necessary, however, to persist in it
most strenuously, nd jnst h long as the
lemper of the country would sutler it to
he done. When it wits evident that pop
ular sentiment was too strong to be re
sisted, and passion sof the people were
thoroughly amused, then the idea would
be advanced that there had really been
no choice of ttie people and there must he
anew election; that in the meauliinu the
president of the Senate would become
President of the United States pro tem
pore. The President did not put this
theory forward in his interview last Sun
day without consultation with the leaders
of his party. The whole matter had been
considered, debated and determined on
in advance, and the President was select
ed as the best mouth-piece for the occa
sion. And, moreover, it is shrewdly sus
pected that he is not the disinterested
personage in this scheme wh ch he pre
tended to be. All his professions about
his anxiety to retire to private life and he
free of the vexations and annoyances of
official station were nmde for the purpose
of deceiving the public. That he serious
ly contemplates a conjunction ot circum
cumalances which will make him the
most available cundidnle of the Radical
party in the event of anew election be
ing ordered, is believed by many Repub
licans.
A Republican member of the House said
to me to day that he was sati-tied that
such an idea as this was realy in Grant’s
head. Mr. Ilaycs was not satisfactory to
Morton and his carpet bag allies. It is
quite certain that the Camerons would
prefer Grant to Hayes .because Secretary
Cameron’s position would be assured un
der the former, while if the latter should
come in, the chances are that he will retiie
to private life. At first thought it may
appear to many persons tlmt.Grant would
tie a very weak candidate. But would he be
weaker than Ilayesf It has been demon
s.rated that Hayes cannot arouse any en
thusiasm; would it not be different] witli
Grant? Olcourse it would l>e a bloody
shirt campaign from the tieginning. There
is no other policy on which the Republi
can party could hope to win after all its
assertions about intimidations and vio
lence in the South. Alter the overtures
which Hayes’ friends have nude to Souib
ern men tor their support he would not
do for a leader in a campaign of this kind.
The fact that such proposals had been
made to Southern Democrats would he
proven before the campaign was two
weeks old, and thus die lalseness of his
position would be demonstrated. Unpop
ular as Gaunt undoubtedly is with his
p irty, would he uot be llie strongest can
didate that could lie found in an emer
gency of this kind, nnd for the sort of a
fight Morton, Cameron and Chandler
would make? Whatever may he the judg
inent of others, one tiling is certain: Grant
oelieves that nehas a stronger bobbin die
Northern masses Ilian any man living.
He believes that capitalists have confl
deuce in him, and that if u new election
takes piece the business inter, st of the
land w. uld see ’oil that lie was elected,
in order that there might not be another
such situation us the country is involved
iu now.
