Tns New York Sun thinks that Bob
Ingcrhoil ouglq not to be sent to the Sen
ate, because “it would be inexcusably
cruel 14 put hjiu in a place where he
would be compelled daily to listen to a
praygf'lo the Lord without the privilege of
kicking back.’'
And bow Gen. Gordon contradicts
the report of a late interview, In
whioh he was represented as saying
that Hon. B. H. Hill had injured the
Democratic cause by imprudent
utterances. He has telegraphed to
AtlantaAhat the report Is incorrect.
Mr. Hill’s enemies have overdone
the thing by their unscrupulous war
fare on him.
The quarrel between Mackey and
Chamberlain, both Republicans, in
South Carolina, grows more acrimo
nious. It la said that Mackey now
threatens to make such an exposure
of Chamberlain aa will show him a
tit subject for the penitentiary, and
the supposition is that ho refers to
frauds committed by Chamberlain
in the election two years ago.
The reporter of the New York
Times, wno sent such malicious and
unfair Radical dispatches to that pa
per from Florida, was one Joseph
Bowes. The Tallahassee Sentinel
says that Bowes has run away to es
cape prosecution and punishment for
a ballot-box fraud committed at one of
the precincts in Leon county. He
was a at Instrument to employ In
the work of bolstering up the frauds
of the Florida canvassing board.

vails among tiic Republicans ii> that city
concerning the report of the Florida in
vestigating committee. I t is admitted, says
the dispatch, that if the committee shall
be unanimous in its report in favor of
the Tiiden electors it will make a very
had show ior Hayes. To preveut this
the most intense pressure has been brought
to bear upon Messrs. Dunnell and
Woodburn, the Republican tnepibers of
the committee, to induce them to make a
minority report.
It is noticed at Washington that
Gen. Sheridan is ottener consulted
with by the President, than Gen.
Sherman, indicating that Grant has
more confidence in the former than
in the latter. Thigmay mean sim
ply that Sheridan ia more of a man
after Grant’s own heart in his feel
ings towards the Southern “banditti,”
or it may signify that while Slier
man is sincerely desirous of inaugu
guratiftg Hayes, Grant has some
scheme, supported by Sheridan,
which looks to another contingency.

Says the New York Sun of Satur
day : “It ia morally certain that, on
the 14th of February, the two Houses
of Congress will differ as to the elec
toral vote, and neither Houso can
hold its position save by the employ
ment of force. Suoh was the point of
the argument made in the Senate
yesterday by Mr, Booth, of Califor
nia. We say, let there be justice to
the matter, and there will be no heed
of force, or the menace of it.”
But the question is. |bcw does the
Sun propose to get justice in the mat

One of the lost acts of the retiring
Republican Governor of North Caro
lina was to issue an unconditional
pardon (says the Raleigh Observer j to
James Heaton, a carpet-bag resident
of Wilmington, in that State, "Wild
was convicted by a Republican court
of inciting the negroes to a bloody
riot at an election in 1874. He was
sentenced to the Penitentiary, but
appealed to the Supreme Courts Gf
his guilt there can he to hlestlpn.
Heaton was a former Ohioan, and an
ardent supporter of Hayes in the
Cincinnati Convention, to which he.
was a delegate,
TBS VenT •TBimSKKCB.
The following is stated to be the
inaih point of difference between the
Demoeratio and Republican mem
bers of the Congressional Commit
tees to whom has been referred the
question of the mode of counting the
Electoral votes:
The Republicans contend that in
the event of a disputed return from
a State it cannot bo rejected without
both Houses concur. The Demo
crats, on the other hand, insist that
if one House objeete the vote cannot
be counted. They point to the action
of the two Houses in 1868 on the vote
of Georgia. The House voted to re
ject the vote of that State, and the
Senate voted to count it. when the
joint convention reassembled, after
the action had been taken by the
two bodies in thefFßeparate capaci
ties, the vote of Georgia was counted
after the manner in which that of
Missouri was counted in 1871. This
action teas' equivalent, It is claimed,
to a rejection of the vote of Georgia
on the dissent of the House.
It does not appear that anyjßepub
lican member of either the Senate or
House Committees on counting the
Electoral vote, except Senator Mor
ton, contends that the President of
the Senate has the power to count,
and that the two Houses aro mere
spectators. The utmost that has
been claimed by any Republican
member of the House Committee is
that in the event of the two Houses
disagreeing about the counting of a
vote of a State, theri the President of
the Senate has the right to settle the
dispute by ordering it to be counted.
This is not strenuously contended
for, however. The Republicans seem
to be disposed to rest their case on
the theory that there must be concur
rent action to reject. It is certain,
however, that at least one Republi
can member of the House Committee
does not agree to this and that be
will unite with bis Democratic col
leagues in holding that in the cases
of Florida and Louisiana, the concur
rent action of the two Houses must
be had before either one of the two
returns from each of these States can
be accepted. - 1 '
• SOLBSESi VS. SLOWVESS.’’
It is useloss to try to disgufeo tho
fact that while tho Democratic party
all over the country arc fully satis
fied of tho fair election of Tiiden and
Hendricks, there is a material differ
ence us to the party policy to be pur
sued to secure for them tho positions
to which tho people have chosen
them. This difference, too, has
taken something like a sectional
shape. Tho Democrats of the West
aro In favor of a strong popular de
monstration of resolution to inaugu
rate Tiiden and Hendricks in spite
of all frauds and tricks, and if need
be In spite of forcible factious op
position. The Democratic leaders
of the Eastern States, on tho other
hand, still cling to the notion that
they oan work the dispute into such
a legal shape as to force the Radi-
cals to abandon their conspiracy, of
the existence of which no one
entertains a doubt The Demo
crats of the South, comprehend
ing their present political status
and influence, do not Intend to take
the lead, but will support their po
litical allies of the North in what
ever course tho latter may agree
upon. For a more explicit state
ment of the differences between, the
two divisions of the party at the
North on this question, we refer to
the recent conventions held in Ohio
and Indiana, and to tho dispatch
headed “Hewitt” which we copy, to
day from the Cincinnati Enquirer.
It is, perhaps, unnecessary for us
to repeat here that we have not now,
and never have had, any reliance
whatever upon the policy which we
ascribe to the Eastern leaders of the
party. Their scheme might possibly
work successfully, as it certainly has
both right and reason to support it,
if the ultimate arbiter of the contest
wasjustlpeqr law. But wo know
full well that the arbiter is to
be the swofW, and to be
wielded by. President Grant. We
have had not only verbal intimations
that he will put into execution, by
tho use of the military power of the
Government, tho decision of the Rad
ical Senate, but we see that he is
gathering at Washington the force
with which to do it. The Radical
leaders, throughout the whole dis
pute, have displayed a resolute per
sistence In a programme conceived
before the canvassing boards in the
South had done their allotted work.
They make no appeals to the people
they rather deprecate popular
agitation of tho subject. The Demo
crats, on the other hand, have tho
popular sympathy to such an extent
that their most cautious leaders can
not restrain them from giving ex
pression to a determination to
maintain their rights. They are
everywhere united in * the con
viction that they have carried the
election logally and honestly. If
they only had a common, well
defined plan of action to secure the
fruits of their victory, they would
support*it unanimously and enthu
siastically. But, the differences of
their leaders, above alluded to, have
left them up this time, within less
than one month or the decisive day,
without a common plan of action or
any understood means of meeting
probable^emergencies. Thus it is
that the Democratic party, though
thoroughly united in feeling and
conviction, has no settled policy
upon whose efficiency it Can rely,
while the Radicals, though divided
in opinion us to the fairness of the
triumph which they claim, and evi
dently distrustful of the people, have
yet a better assurance of success,
based on rapidly organizing agen
ofe*.-.:; 1 ~
In this connection we copy below
a, Washington dispatch to the New
York Sun, which may help more
fully to explain the true situation:
AwajihiHoton, Jan. 9.—lf, after re
flection, I were asked to use two
word characterising the two parties
in their Struggle fOf the Presidency,
I would say; Boldness and slowness.
If there is anything that surpasses
the boldness of the Republican con
federates, under the lead of Morton,
it is the slowness of the Democrats,
under the lead of—well, that is rather
diifioult to say. If dignity involves
a certain degree of indolence or re
serve, the Democrats in Washington
are certainty entitled to be consider
ed -very dignified. The House has
now been in session for nearly six
weeks. It Wet under critical circum
stances. Public interests demanded
prompt action. On the very day
after the Convening of Congress a
Dumber of committees were appoint
ed tvith this view. That looked like
doing something. But looks alone
will not suffice.
The Committee on South Carolina
returned nearly a week ago. But its
chairman, Mr. Milton Sayler, tells
me that no report of the committee
cap be expected tor a fortnight at
least. ‘
f me committee on Florida return
ed a few days ago. An early report
might contribute much to allay the
popular apprehension and settle the
difficulty, Buta member of the com
rnitjtee tells me that there is scarcely
a hope for a report in less than a
week, If then; that in point of fact
the committee, as such, has had no
meeting since its subdivision in Flor
ida, and that it is not even known
how every member of the committee
stands on the stmple question wheth
er Tiiden or Hayes carried the State.
The committee to examine and re
port upon the exact power of the
House, under the Constitution and
laws, in regard to the count of the
electoral votes, has not yet reported,
and may also delay its report Tor an
other week, though the vital impor
tance of this report is apparent.
The committee of the House to
meet a similar committee of the Sen
ate, in order, if possible, to agree
upon a mode in which the electoral
votes shall be counted by the two
Houses, has not yet met the commit
tee of the Senate; in fact, has not yet
come, to a definite conolusion as to
what it exactly wants.
The Committee on the Judiciary,
to whioh the credentials of Mr. Bed
ford of Colorado, were referred,
which involves the very important
question whether Colorado was a
State at the last election, and wheth
er its three electoral votes are to be
counted or not, has agreed upon re
ports on the subject, but the decision
of the q,tiestjon by the House seems
still very problematical and remote.
I call this slowness.
On the other hand, the boldness of
the Republicans, considering how
utterly destitute they are of either
law or logic, how overwhelmingly
Constitution and precedents, popular
majorities, and publlo Interest seem
to oppose them, is really sublime.
I have just heard John Sherman de
liver his political stump speech on
Louisiana. It was a disgrace to the
Senate Chamber, and should bring
immortal infamyor Infamous immor
tality to its author. I never in all my
life road or heard such a jumble of
utter falsehood, hypocrisy and base
ness. Yet to-morrow every Republi
can newspaper will pronounce it the
greatest effort of a pure patriot, and
the day after to-morrow thousands
will swear by it, really believing that
the people of Louisiana are all mur
derers, and Kellogg and Packard
are angels in uisguise.
And right here is the danger, the
greatest danger of the situation as it
uppears in Washington. The practi
cal unanimity of the Republican press
and the perfectly systematic and
rather able manner In which, since
the election, it has spread all sorts of
lies and falsehoods concerning the
disputed Stated, and the determined
teDaolty with whioh It has stuck to
all In spite of everything, have ac
complished one thing which is the
most lamentable feature of tho situ
ation.
The reports of the Democratic
demonstrations throughout the coun
try on the Bth of January have en
couraged their leading men here very
much Indeed. To-day has been the
one of greatest confidence in Demo
cratic quarters, since I have been
here. All the more proper, thought
I, to throw out some serious sugges
tions. The danger is as great as ever.
The new Confederates have the abso
lute power to commit a coup d'etat
and count Hayes. They will do it
If they can unite their party. Dem
ocratic hope rests upon Republican
discord.
THE DENNKTT-MAY DUEL I
Quite a number of the Northern
press are very harsh in their denun
ciations of Mr. Bennett for llghtiug
a duel, and some of them are so sav
age as to urge the enforuemenut of
the strictest penalties of the law in
his cose. And yot their papers
would hereafter have been continual
ly lampooning Bennett for his lack
of spirit In not resenting the indig
nity inflicted upon him by May, if
he had not challenged him. They
would have wanted no better point
for their gibes than the unresented
castigation which he received, and
they would have cauterized the
wound with all the malignity of
whioh spiteful and cowardly natures
are capable.
Not knowing the provocation which
May had for inflicting the punish
ment, we cannot pass judgment upon
that. But certainly Bennett had
the most imperative reasons for de
manding satisfaction, and any other
mode to which he might have resort
ed would have been as objectionable
as the duel. Ho was not able to cope
with his powerful antagonist in a
muscular contest; he would have
been ridiculed beyond measure if be
had resorted to tho law; and if he
had made an attack with arms upon
May in tho street or elsewhere, he
would probably have been sent to
the penitentiary even If no great
bodily damage was done. The duel
really seems to have been the mo9t
manly and honorable resort left to
hinp. It is a practice which we by no
means defend. We believe that it is
much oftener abused than necessa
rily resorted to, and often rendered
ridiculous by being resorted to
merely for the purpose of notoriety
or bravado. But Bennett had a very
grievous insult, which he could not
bear without repfoach or endure
without shame. In this section of
of the country, at least, publio senti
ment would condemn harsh legal
proceedings against him.
St. Louis is projecting anew air line
road from Texarkana to Mexico, to run
west of all existing lines to Texas rail
roads. It is to pass through Dallas, Be
dalia, Waco, Austin, San Antonio and in
to Mexico beyond. It will be but 942
miles from St. Louis to San Antonio by
this route, a gain of 218, and of 83 miles
over the two present routes.
Ufroßit the new Texas and Pacific
Railroad bill, as agreed upon by the par
ties in interest, Scott will build east, and
Huntington west, the coal fields of New
Meiico, about one hundred miles north
of El Faso, to be the dividing line.
Another Kick at the Returning Board
The following letter, which speaks
for itself, was on Saturday read in
the House of Representatives and
spread upon the minutes:
New Orleans, Jan. 13, 1877.
A mutual friend has called my ate
tention to the official returns of the
parish of Vernon, as ascertained by a
certificate of the Secretary of State,
P. G. Deslonde.
Poll No. a has been doctored and
so changed as to give mo thirty ma
jority, when the Commissioner's re
turn at this poll show my majority
to be precisely ten vote*, This ex
position satisfies me. I have been
elected by the Returning Board and
not by the people.
I withdraw all pretensions to rep
resent Vernon parish in the House of
Representatives, and wish you victo
ry in your battle for the people’s
rights.
Respectfully yours,
Jno. A. Brown.
To the Hon. E. E. Smart, House of
Representatives.
Hampton and Tildes.— Gov. Wade
Hampton denies having entertained
any idea of withdrawing the Tiiden
electors during the recent campaign
in that, State. On the contraiy, he
says, he took strong ground against
such a course. He supported Tiiden
thoroughly nnd heartily throughout,
and if he had thought his withdrawal
at any time would have injured Til
den’s inauguration, he would have
witndrawn, and would do so now,
without a moment’s hesitation. He
declares that he had no agency what
ever in Judge Mackey’s visit to Ohio,
and that Mackey bore no proposition
from him. He states, in addition,
that a proposition was made to him
by leading Republicans, after the
election, that if he would publicly
acknowledge the election of the
Hayes electors, the United States
troops would bo withdrawn, and he
would be recognized as Governor.
To this proposition he positively re
fused to accede.— Augusta Chron.

HEWITT.
WHAT HE THIXKii Of THE PROPOSED NA
TIONAL CqSVENTIOjr—A DIS
COORAOJNO VIEW OF THE
SITUATION.
Wiehlngtou aiMMitml to the Clmiuu.tl Enquirer.]
John G. Thompson to-day wrote a
letter to Mr. Hewitt, Inclosing the
resolntlpus adopted by the Ohio De
mocracy at Columbus, and especially
inviting his attention to the seventh,
which recommends that the Chair
man of the National Democratic
Committee call a Convention of Dem
ocrats in Washington on the Hth of
Februrury. Mr. Hewitt does not
seem to fully realize the dangerous
conspirators he lias to deal with in
Sherman, Morton, Chandler Sr Cos.
He dec]lues to call the convention,
and says that tho resolutions have
done a great deal of harm. He said
to-day, in conversation with Dr.
Schiller, of Ohio, that he would pre
fer Hayes for President rather than
that the country be plunged into
civil war, but he does not anticipate
any necessity for making a choice
of these evils. He thinks the Demo
crats of New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut would be a unit for
Hayes and peace the very moment
any steps were taken and the inau
guration of Tiiden by force of arms.
He said that he would resign his po
sition as Cnairman of the National
Democratic Committee rather than
seem to give his approval, as the rep
resentative or the Eastern Demo
crats, to any scheme looking toward
that object.
Western men in the city represent
the temper of the Democrats of their
section as more warlike, and they
are determined to secure a fair show
for Tiiden, and to resist any attempt
to carry out the Chandler conspira-
cy by force of arms if necessary.
Although the Democrats of the
Northern money centers may be de
terred by their supposed pecuniary
interests, some of the Western Dem
ocrats do not hesitate to denounce
as pusillanimous the idea that Grant
ism and all Its iniquities should be
approved and fastened upon the
country for at least four years long
er, for the sake of peace.
The determined and unbroken
front the Democracy have so fur
maintained has secured for them
what they have gained in public es
timation since the 7th of November,
and if persisted in to the end, will
totally defeat the plot concocted by
Zach Chandler and a few unscrupu
lous Republican leaders. The ma
jority o' the Democrats of the East
say that Hewitt does not represent
them in stating that their constituen
cies are willing, as it were, to fold
their arms, and let the Hayes con
spiracy hatch and bring forth, when
the people huve it in their power to
counteract it. They want the theo
rists to understand that they deem
that the inauguration of Hayes would
the knell for the downfall of the Re
public, and that what was worth
lighting for in 1776 is worth lighting
for now. It is not believed, either,
that Mr. Hewitt, in respect to the
holding of-the convention, reflects
Mr. Tiiden’s views, and he has gone
to New York to-night to see him.
There is a decided feeling that the
settlement of the Presidential ques
tion is not how will it affect the bonds
of the capitalists and money-changers
in the E.ust, but rather how shall a
liberty-loving people maintain their
rights when they are threatened by a
cabal of thieves, who long since
should have been serving the State
with.striped suits on. The conven
tion will bo held regardless of Mr.
Hewitt’s views, and Thompson’s note
to him to-day was to request that he
call the Executive Committee of the
National Committee together to de
liberate on the subject.
Curran wus pleading before Fitzgibbon
the Irish Chancellor, with whom he was
on terms of anything but friendship.
The Chancellor, with the distinct purpose,
as it would seem, of insulting the advo
cate, brought with him on the bench a
large Newfoundland dog, to which he de
voted a great deal of his attention while
Curran was addressing a very deliberate
argument to him. At a very material
point in the speecn the Judge turned
quite away, and seemed to be wholly en
grossed with tiis dog. Curran ceased to
speak. “Go on, go'on, Mr. Curran,” said
the Chancellor. “Oh, I beg a thousand
pardons, my lord," said the witty barris
ter, “1 was really under the impression
that your lordships were in consultation.”

THE WORLD, while conservative in politics, de

limitations upon the rights of private judgment
and the aspirations of Reform, save those which
are Imposed by prudence, decorum, and a ration
al respect for vested rights and for the honest
opinions of all classes and sects of men. While
it has labored for the principles and hails the tri

blindly devoted to the a tvaucement of any party

It will inculcate a steadfast reliance upon the

only sound basis of all needed improvements
therein; an unfaltering devotion to the Constitu

spirit as well as the letter of our laws, and a
Bleepless vigilance in maintaining all the great
safeguards of Civil and Religious Liberty. It
will seek to mitigate and not to aggregate the
evils inseparable from Party Government in a
Free Country; to promote good and not 111 feel
