New IlAMPßunuf.~The loss of a lit
tle State government and one Repre
sentative to Congress is perse a trifle.
But the chief and worst significance
of tho New Hampshire elections is
the fact which it dlsclsoes, that the
Radicals of that section are less dls
conoerted by late political events
than tho Democrats. The frauds by
which the Republicans secured the
Presidency would appear not to have
weakened tho party in the least, but
rather to have demoralized the Dem
ocrats. This is sad and discouraging.
"8um, 1,” telegraphs from Wash
ington to the New Orleans Democrat
that the Democratic Senators in
Congress desire the election by the
Nicholla Legislature of a Senator to
contest Kellogg’s claim. But ns the
Senate has advised tho President of
its readiness to adjourn sine die, and
it is now almost certain that Kel
logg’s case will go over to the next
session, theNichollsLegislature may
conclude that an election now is un
necessary,

The executive oflioersof the Illinois
Central Company have given orders
to sell tickets from Chicago to New

Orleans to Chicago at the same rate.
The regular rate from Chicago to
New Orleans has been S2B. What
induoed the hompaoy to make this
large reduction could not bo ascer
tained. The officials claim that they
do not know the reason, the order to
reduyo being telegraphed by Vice
President Clark, who is dow in New
Orleans, and who controls tho New
Orleans line. The object of tho re
duction is for the purpose of stimula
ting traffic to the South. This reduc

which js, about $lO less than was
charged heretofore.—JV. I', liiilldin.

I NJI %T AMI INSULTING.
Of alltho criminations and impu
tations that have grown out of the
late contested Presidential election,
none arc so unfounded and unjust as
that which casts any blame or re
sponsibility upon the Democrats of
the South. Their course throughout
the whole canvass preceding the elec
tion and during the three months of
controversy and excitement that fol
lowed It, was determined and pur
sued In deference to the judgment aad
wishes of their Northern allies. If
they can now reproach themselves
with anything whatever, It Is that
they did not act more independently,
and follow tho dictates of their own
sense of manliness and honor.
Tho Democrats of tho South made
no claim to representation on the
national ticket. They did not ask
that the nominee for either the Pres
idency or Vice Presidency should be
taken from their section. They only
sought to ascertain who were the
men most acceptable to the Demo
crats of the North and West, and
they permitted those sections to dic
tate tho nominations, well knowing
at tho same time thut their largest
support must como from the South.
Nor did they disappoint even the
most sanguine expectations of their
Northern allies. They contributed an
Unbroken Southern Electoral vote
(with the possible exception of South
Carolina) to the election of Tilden
and Hendricks. Never before did a
political party of any section acquit
themselves so well.
But the North and West fell far
short of contributing what was just
ly expected of them to the Democrat
ic triumph iu tho election. The
Democrats of those sections hud car
ried a majority of thoir States at the
elections of tho previous year, and
tho most reasonable calculations
promised us at least a third of them
for Tilden and Hendricks. But wo
obtained only four-not sufficient
with tho almost “solid .South” to
give us the Electoral majority after
we wero cheated out of Louisiana and
Florida.
The whole general management of
the campaign, too, was in the hands
of tho Northern Democrats, and it is
sufficient to say that never was a
campaign managed so badly. We
lost every closely contested
State, except Indiana. A little
moro work in Oregon, Cali
fornia and Wisconsin would have
won (or rather retained) those
States for us, and thus have given u?
the victory in spito of fraudulent
retfirning boards.’ But wo witnessed
a complete reversal of the “tidal
wave” which carried most of the
Northern and Western States for the
Democracy in 1875, and saw witli
dismay nu approximation to another
sectional division in the Electoral
vote—a result which contributed
more than anythiug else to embold
ening the Radicals to uphold and
consummate the frauds of the rascal
ly Southern returning boards.
The South was equally patient and
self-sacrificing in regard to tho plat
form. It insisted on nothing that
would be damaging to the cause else
whero, and even bore with scarcely
a murmur the gratuitous and unfeel
ing pledge of our Presidential nomi
nee that he would, if electod, surn
.marily nnd forever extinguish the
claim of our people for the refunding
of some sixty millions of dollars un
justly and individiously, if not un
constitutionally, extorted from them
In tho shape of Federal taxes on their
cotton crops. The utter defeat of
that just claim seems to be the only
thiog they have gained by thoir
patriotio and strong support of a
ticket elected but defrauded.
But the most cruel and ungenerous
accusation is, that the unfortunate
Electoral Commission was rendered
necessnry because the South could
not be relied upon to stand up reso
lutely for tho inauguration and sup
port of tho President and Vice Pres
ident elected bythepeoplo. There
never was the least reason to distrust
tho co-operation of the Democrats of
tho South in any measures looking
to this end which their Northern al
lies might have taken. Only consid
erations of party policy restrained
them from taking the lead. They
knew that it would be disastrous to
their own cause for them to do so,
and they surrendered the lead in this
as in other matters to tho Democrats
of tho North. The latter chose to
palter and arbitrate, were overeach
cd and swindled. Tho whole policy
of tho party, both in tho canvass
preceding the election and in the ex
citing contest which followed, was
controlled by tho Democrats of the
North, and they stultify themselves
in casting any reproaches upon a
section which did its whole duty in
both emergencies.

Wo have heretofore alluded to an
inconsistency in Senator (now Secre
tary) Sherman’s course, in at one
timo favoring specie resumption
without diminishing the volume of
legal tenders in circulation, but af
terwards supporting a measure
which proposes to reach the same
end by contraction, or by the retire
ment of the legal tenders. The San
Francisco Call (a Republican paper)
directs attention to another of his
inoonsistences or eccentricities in
proposing to redeem the fractional
currency and a portion of the larger
legal tenders with depreciated coin,
but Insisting thut interest to the
bondholders shall be paid in nothing
but standard gold—tho legal tenders
being held by the pooplo generally,
and the bonds by comparatively few
capitalists, foreign and domestic.
The Call says: There is a little in
consistency in the views of Senator
Sherman on tho silver question, as
presented from timo to time. Four
years ago he was one of the trio of
iluuuciers who by a sly amendment
of the Coinage Act, practically de
monetized silverin the United States,
by omitting tho silver dollar from
our list of coins. It is not an
nounced that ho has repented that
act, but at tho last sesssiou of Con
gress lie presented a resumption bill
which provided for the redemption
of $30,000,000 of greenbacks in the
light fractional silver coin. This
sum of $30,000,000, which Mr. Sher
mau proposes to offer light half dol
lars for, is not now in fractional
notes, as the coinage of silver al
ready authorized will more than
provide for all the fractional notes
in circulation. Tho new bill pro
poses to redeem $30,000,000 of legal
tender of denominations of one dol
lar and upward with fractional sil
ver coin weighing 381 grains to tho
dollar. Tho silver dollar which
Sherman, Linderman and a Massa
chusetts Representative caused to be
dropped from our list of coin,
weighed 412i grains, and is now ob
jected to by tho same class of finan
ciers as a legal tender in payment of
bonds, because it is not quite so val
uable as an article of commerce as
tho standard gold dollar. It seems,
howover, that email silver coin
weighing 381 graius to a dollar, is a
good enough equiualent for $30,000,-
000 of greenbacks, while silver dol
lars weighing 4.121 grains are not an
equivalent for bonds. This crooked
ness of vision on tho part of the Sen
ate Finance Committee Chairman
doubtless admits of explanation, but
tho average mind will find some dif
ficulty In reconciling the two posi
tions. Either the 112 J graius silver
dollar is a fair legal tender in pay
ment of bonds, when gold is not
specified, or the silver dollar, in the
form of small change, is not a fair
legal tender for the redemption of
paper promises to pay.

THEY WILL HOLD A CONVENTION IN CO
LUMBUS ON THE BTn OF MAY.
Russell County, Alabama, I
March loth, 1877. J
Messrs. Editors Times: As your
columns are ever open to com
munications for tho interest of the
famler ns well as other enterprises,
we ask for a small space of your val
uable paper.
To begin, we arc a Granger and be
long to a live Grauge. Some doubt
less will wonder at this, as t hero has
already been formed in tho minds of
some an opinion that the Grange has
about ceased to exist. It may be
that some merchants think so,
some warehouse men think so, and
even some few farmers may
think so. In this they are very much
mistaken. In the organization of our
order some joined who (we are sorry
to say it) were selfish enough to join
for a personal consideration or inter
est; some,who oven expected to draw
rations, and failing in their expecta
tions to do this, as did Cuffee the
“forty acres and a mule,” thoy have
withdrawn or lost all interest in the
Grange—consequently our number
may bo something less to-duy than
that of two years ago. Hence the
erroneous idea that tho Grange is
dead, or even on the decline. This
is a good riddance, and has had a
reliuing and purifying effect, and
instead of weakening lias strength
ened our order.
We had the pleasure of meeting in
convention a few days ago represen
tatives from several Granges of this
section of country, and could some
of those doubting warehouse men
and merchants have been present to
have seen the open honest counten
ances and to have heard the deliber
ations of quite a number of the best
tnen of several counties, they would
perhaps doubt no more. Suffice it to
say, Messrs. Editors, that harmony
and unity prevailed, and no dead or
sickly Grangers were there. There
was a resolution passed at that time,
calling a Grange Convention at Co
lumbus, Ga., on Tuesday the Bth of
May Dext, and steps were taken to
ask a co-operation of all Granges ad
jacent to Columbus, and we hope to
have every one represented, as the
object of it is for the good of the
order. One of the main objects is
■with reference to the future storage
of cotton.
Let all Granges that are iuterested
be well represented.
Yours truly,
Gkanuer.

ONLY THIRTY SENATORS WILL VOTE TO
SEAT HIM.
Special to N. O. democrat.]
Washington, March 12.— The Sen
ate Committee on Elections and
Qualifications decided to-day to re
port favorably on Kellogg’s creden
tials by a strict party vote. The
chairman of this committee, Mor
ton, was instructed, in accordance
with this report, to introduce the fol
lowing resolution, to be submitted
to the Senate to-morrow :
“ Resolved , That William Pitt Kel
logg is prima facie entitled to be ad
mitted to his seat as a Senator from
the State of Louisiana, and that the
oath be now administered to him.”
I see no reasou to change the esti
mate of the probable action of the
Senate heretofore made in these dis
patches. Kellogg himself is sanguine
of immediate admission, but a care
ful canvass of the Senate gives him
only thirty votes at the outside.
. The discussion of the subject will
begin to-morrow, and after running
on a dry or two, bo ended by a mo
tion to postpone it, which will take
the whole case over to tho regular
session in December. Kellogg’s case
will undoubtedly in tho end bo laid
over.
It is barely possible that a resolu
tion that he be not admitted could
pass. Such a resolution will not be
ffered unless Conkling should choose
that method ofsettling tho matter,
in which event, of course, the Dem
ocrats would vote for him.
There are now 32 Democrats and 35
Republican Senators in tneir seats,
besides Davis, who will act with the
Democrats on this question. This
leaves the Republicans only two ma
jority on a party vote. Conkling will
vote against Kellogg; this would
make a tie, and in that, event Wheeler
is morally certain, in view of the
known desires of Mr. Hayes, to vote
against seating Kellogg. The weight
of probability is, however, that Ed
munds, Christiancy, and Jones of Ne
vada, would refrain from voting on
the question at all; or, if they did
vote, would vote against the seating
of Kellogg. This would bring the
vote to about my figures—that is,
that Kellogg cannot get more than
thirty votes at the outside on the di
rect question of seating him under
the resolutions to be proposed by
Morton’s committee. Buell.
Mmtlirrn Genius.
Vo clip the item below from the
Philadelphia Presbyterian:
lu hd old number of the Staunton,
Va,., Spectator for August 11, 1839, is
an advertisement of the first trial of
Cyrus H. McCormick’s reaper on the
farm of Mr. Smith, noyr owned by
Col. ,T. C. Cochran, five miles from
Staunton. It created a great, sensa
tion, and the following gentlemen
certify to its partial efficiency : Abra
ham Smith, George Eskridge, James
Bell, Joseph Smith. Win. B. Dona
ghe, Silas H. Smith, Nicholas C. Ken
nedy, Edward Valentine, Kenton
Harper, James Points, Benj. Craw
ford and Solomou D. Coiner-all
of whom are dead except Benjamin
Crawford, of Staunton, and Ed
ward Valentine, now of Buchanau.
What a theme for a philosopher to
moralize over! Then the poor in
ventor, timidly showing his rough
machine on the hillside to the scepti
cal well-to- do farmers, and paying
for his notice as an advertisement
now all dead and gone but two noble
gentlemen—and McCormick, almost
able to purchase all the land in ten
miles square of where he made the
first trial, his name famous over the
world, Slates grown up out of the
then wilderness, next two great wars,
and still ihe “Reaper” goes on, keep
ing steady licks with the great reap
er, death, giving life and joy aud
food to millions.
The father of Mr. McCormick and
not himself is the inventor of the
Reaper. We have beard the late
Rev. James Morrison, of Browns
burg, Va., say that the elder Mc-
Cormick used it for some years upon
bis own farm before it became
known outside of Iris neighborhood.
There were defects about the first
invention, and the farmers laughed
at it as a crazy hobby of Mr. M. The
Reaper as it came from his hands,
however, was the same in all essen
tial particulars as that which is now
used throughout the world.
The Southern people have paid but
little attention to tfie mechanic aris,
but they have nevertheless made
those discoveries and inventions
which pre-eminently distinguish the
age in w hich we live. John Gill, of
Newborn N. C., is the real inventor
of the Revolver, which has made such
a revolution in the tactics and strat
egy of military nations. From want
of means, ho associated himself with
Colt, who stole the Invention arul the
profits thereof.
Gabriel J. Rains, of Newborn N.
C., also is the father of the torpedo
system which securely protects riv
ers against the most formidable iron
clad fleets of tho world.
Dr. Reed, of Tuscaloosa, Alabama,
is the inventor of tho rifle cannon—
an Invention which at once made
useless all wooden navies, and neces
sitated the construction of Iron-clads.
Dr. Reed entered into partnership
with Parrott, of Cold Spring, New
York, who got the honor of the in
vention, and what he,Parrott, valued
still moro, the millions of money
made by it. In like manner Mr.
Clemmons, of Salisbury, N. C., was
cheated out of the electric telegraph
profits by Morse, who claimed to bo
a Christian man. So we think that
there can be but little doubt that
Rev. R. F. Goulding, of Georgia, the
author of Young Marooners, is the
real inventor cf sewing machine.
The profits of none of theso inven
tions went to the inventors, except
in the case of Mr. McCormick, who
inherited his father’s right to them.
Dr. Reed, we believe, got some $20,-
000 out of the hundreds of thousands
made by his associates. John Gill
got nothing from the Colts. General
Rains, Mr. Clemmons and Mr. Goul
ing made not a dollar by their inven
tions. — Southern Horne.

bottle.
This Incomparable preparation for the Hair is
commended to the public on its own merits.
It prevent* the Hair from filling off. producing
a rapid and healthy growth; eradicates scurf and
dandruff, and cure* disease* of the scalp. Try it
and judge for yourself.
[From Rev. E. T. Baird, Sec’y of Publication of
Presbyterian Church South.)
Richmond. July 27, 1874.
The Xanthine is the only hair dressing I have
ever used which has removed the dandruff from
the scalp and made my hair toft and pliable. It
has also restored 1 my hair to its natural color ; and
by occasionally usiag it as a hair dressing, I have
no doubt it will preserve the color.

[From Rev. Mr. Cameron, Minister of Presbyte
rian Church Bouth.l
Mossy Creek. Txkw, Aug. 22, 1876.
Xanthiite Cos., Richmond, Va.:
I have used the Xanthine now for three years,
and have induced others to buy it, and have nev
er known it to fail in accomplishing all you
claim for it. It is an excellent tonic, a pleasant
dressing, removing and preventing dandruff and
all unpleasant itching, promoting and preserving
the natural growth and color of the hair, and ren
dering it glossy and pliable. I confidently,
cheerfully, knowingly recommend it.
