ONE LITTLE YEAR ADO.
TO ORACH KINO CONNOLLY.
All wa* do bright aud life ao glad.
Death seemed far. far away,
As if he never could be called
To mow out gardened bo gay,
One little fear a|p..; J f
But now the lovelieet flower of all—
Too fair on earth to stay,
Transplanted is to that far land
To bioem eternal and for aye,
Since one short year ago.
* So beautiful, so true ao pure,
The angels loved her too.
And bore her to the garden where
Earth's flowers revive with heavenly dew,
One little year ago.
Oh. powerful but fleeting Time,
Thy sway will soon be o’er;
Eternity will render us
What' thou ba-t gleaned a while before
One little year ago. L.
A MONO OF CREMATION.
(To an old tune, by J. O. D )
Since the doctors determine that bone-yards
~Are grounds to anticipate harm.
Build me a retort for Cremation,
And in it put Ba&ox db Palm.
Ignite me the fire of cremation
To incinerate Baron or Palm.
Consign my remains to the furnace
Wit fie lit any prayer or psalm,
And send up through fervent combustion
The soul of Babok de Palm.
Vital sparks of old Baron de Palm,
And send up on high from the burning
Ad antra the Baron de Palm.
In a goblet pnt, Olcott, my ashes. * , „
And a suitable qoautnm of "balm"—
What small beer the’, drank Cleopatra
To thßt extract of Babon de Palm,
Of spicy old Baron DE Palm ; '
Mark Antony’s m s could not match it—
That pearl-ash cf Baron de Palm !
UCHHIB BROOME—ADEI> YEARS).
Gussia, thou wert one of the brightest little
sunbeams that ever danced u; on the family
h>artb, “Hparkled, was exhaled, and went to
Heaven."
Sweet little one we fain would pay
A tribute unto thee.
Who wert this day a year our own
("Our own" not long to be.,)
At morn when gathering round the hearth
Where gifts for each were spreed,
We thought of our beloved one,
And mourned “our angel fled."
We missed so much thy cheery voice,
Thy bounding step, thy glee,
The seeking of thy favorite rest
Upon thy father’s knee.
To ui. to um alone ’Us grief.
To the?, dear obild. 'Us bliss;
The home winch thou hast found above
Is better far than this.
There with the seraphs round the throne,
In radiance doth thon stand;
Mettiinks thy little form must be
The brightest of that band.
And sure no voioe among the throng
That poise on angel wing
Can sweeter be than thine when raised
In praises to our King.
Tlisn. darling, while we here on earth
Doth bless His natal day,
An i cheer each fellow mortal on
Through life’s e’er changing way.
E’en while the smile is on their lipx,
And youthfnl hearts best high,
We’ll not forget onr absent one—
Thou dweller of the sky.

LITTLE BERTIE’S) CHJUBTMAS.
Come Bertie, tell me what’s the luck,
I would not haug my litile head
And stuff my apron in my eyes;
Tell Granny what the great folks said.
1 have nothing, granny, nothing.
And ao your Bertie came awav,
For they said they’d not be bothered
With little beggars Christmas day.
But oh! grainy, if you’d seen them
How grand and pretty they did look,
The little boys and girls, you know,
That looked like pictures in s book 1
And yon know they made me think
About the fairiee all dressed out,
As you rocked my little cradle
Yftn used to talk to me about.
One little boy in red top boots
Pce|>ed at me as he heard me knook,
And laughed so at my poor bare feet
I tried to hide them with my frock.
They were very pretty, granny,
But little Bertie ran away,
For they said they’d not be bothered
With little beggars Christmas day.
They were ugly people. Bertie,
’Twas Just their clothes that looked ao flue,
How 1 wit-h that we could see them
Dressed out in rags like yours and mine.
Hush, granny, hush ! and take me now,
Your Bertie ’a tired; sit down there
And tell me wliat is Christmas like,
And rock me in your big arm chair.
Why. Bertie, Christmas never comes
For such poor folks oh you and me —
My poor rags cannot keep you warm,
Your feet are cold as cold can be.
Why Christmas. Bertie, means for us
To shiver and hunger for the bread
That rioh folks throw out to the dogs—
What ails my Bertie’s little head T
Little Bertie’s very tired,
But granny 1 don't want the bread
Little beggars mu-1 not bother
On Christmas day, the great folks said.
And tell me, granny, do they have
Little beggars in Heaven, too,
And when we get there will there be
A Christmas there for me and you ?
Yes. Bertie. we’U have Christmas, too,
For we will not be beggars there;
Now, Bertie, hush and go to sleep
While granny rocks you iu her chair.
And little Bertie went to sleep,
Aud angels took the child away,
Aud now the little beggar child
Could teach us all of Christmas dav.

TUB ELECTION YESTERDAY.
Nevrral Independent Candidate*—The Cel
ored Element Out In Strength—Ne Disturb*
anres.
The election for officers of Riohmond
county took plaoe yesterday. Consid
erable interest was manifested in the
result, as there were several indepen
dent candidates in the field. The regu
lar Democratic tioket was as follows:
Ordinary—James T. Bothwell.
Sheriff—Charles H. Sibley.
Tax Collector—John A. Bohler,
Treasurer—Wm. M. Dunbar.
Receiver of Tax Returns—R. J. Wil
son.
Clerk Superior Court—B. H. Crump.
Clerk County Court—John W. Talia
ferro.
Coroner—Thomas A. Kunze.
Surveyor—Edmund Morris.
For the offices of Tax Collector, Treas
urer, Clerk of the Superior Court and
Surveyor, there was -no ooutest. The.
independent candidates were as follows:
Fur Ordinary : Samuel Levy.
Sheriff: Robert Puckett.
Receiver of Tax Returns : Wm. A.
Ramsey.
Coroner : Jacob Renz.
In the city the polls were opened at
the City Hall at 7 o'clock. There were
two boxes—one for the white and one
for the colored voters. Many of the
latter, however, voted at the white box.
In the main, the election passed off very
quietly. There were two or three
“tiffs,” in one of which blows were
struck, but nothing serious. The ool
oK'd element turned out in foroe. It is
a noteworthy fact that they were very
evenly divided in this eleotion, fully
as many, if not more, voting the
straight Democratic tioket as for the In
dependents. Active partisans of this
race were ont on the streets and in the
City Hall yard electioneering for both
sides. As the day advanced they were
practically masters of the situation.
The wide hall of the Court Honse
was crowded with them, the ma
jority in a state of intoxication,
yelling and shouting mt the top ot
their voices. Many prominent citizens
expressed their disgnst at thp scene. So
ti.oisterons did the black crowd become
a {he shades of evening approached,
that nearly all the white men left com
pletely disgusted. There was no break
ing of t inn law, however, and nothing
Authorizing the making of arrests.
When the polls closed at 6. p. m„
2,808 votes had been oast, 2,067 in the
white and 721 ia the colored box. At
the Presidential election in November
3,744 votes were cast in these two boxes.
At the State election in October 2,402
votes were east here.
Dp to a late hoar last night returns
had been received from only tiro dis
tricts, the 123 and 134. The following

Notwithstanding but little has been
added to profit and loss account, the
condition of the company is much bet
ter than on Ist JuljJaet, as for some
months about that time and subsequent
ly, in consequence of the small demand
and depressed condition of the market
for optton goods, we were compelled to
carry between two and tblW hundred
thousand dollars of our production, ana
on which we were paying interest; these,
with the exception of some small stock
held by agents, have been disposed of,
many of tnem at no advance on cost of
production. Our present condition I look
upon as a decided improvement from
what it was then, and the future more
encouraging. Our present supply of
goods on band is small, and for most
kiods sold in advanoe,
The President said the oondition of
the company on the Ist of July, as they
were aware, was not a good one and he
was opposed to declaring a dividend, be
oanse they were carrying a large amonnt
of goods. Since that time they had dis
posed of those goods and he now con
sidered the outlook muoh better.
Mr. T. G. Barrett said that from June,
1873, to July, 1876, they had declared
$103,000 more in dividends than they
had made. They had earned money
but they had paid out that muoh more.
Mr. Jacksou said 1 10 had never seen
snoh a depressed state of things as dur
ing the past year, bnt he considered the
outlook muoh more enoouraging now.
Mr. Barrett said the decrease in sur
plus was owing principally to the decla
ration of dividends, and asked the
President if that was not the oase.
The President answered in the affima
tive.
Gov. Jenkins said they now found
that while the capital stock was nomi
nally $600,000, the mills and machinery
was actually worth sßoo,ooo—that is to
say, that the value had been increased
$200,000 without the stockholders pay
ing a dollar additional,
Mr. Phinizy asked if the surplus " B
not at one time over $300,000 instead of
$200,000?
Mr, Jackson said if was.
Mr. C. H. Phinizy asked how mnoh
of the goods North were unsold f
Mr. Jackson said not more than one
thousand bales, and they had more than
that sold ahead. This arose from the
difference in styles of goods.
Proposed Redaction o l Malar!eo.
Mr. 0. H. Phinizy said he had a reso
lution which he desired to offer, and as
it referred to a matter which was us
ually left to tba Directors, he wished
to say that ba did not mean to reflect
upon the management of thosp gentle:
men. They had done all that could bp
done. It was in relation to salaries, ft
was necessary that something should be
done looking to retrenchment. Mr.
Barrett bad stated that they had paid
out during the laot three years one hun
thousand dollars more than
they had made and unless they did
do something towards retrenchment
they would soon have no property left.
The action did not really reduce the
salaries, but merely equalized them
One dollar now would buy wbt two
would five years ago. He read the reso
lutions, as follows:
Resolved, That the Directors of this
corporation be, and they are hereby, in
structed to fix the salaries of its Presi
dent and Superintendent respectively at
four thousand dollars per annum.
; Resolved, That they be instructed to
reduce all salaries, other than those
above mentioned and which exceed one
thousand dollars, ten per gfiJJtum per
annum.
Major Cummißg said so far aa the re
solutions instructed the Directors, he
felt relieved that the stockholders would
take the responsibility from the Direc
tors. He was glad that the stockholders
should move in any such matter, pat
hfe objected to the substance of the reso
lution. He did not think that the stock
holders could ehaogfi the salaries at this
time. The officers were elected for one
year from last June. It was a con
tract, and could not be changed nntil
the term of office expired. Besides, the
officers effected by the resolution had
themselves been considering the pro
priety of coming forward under the cir
cumstances and offering to oonsent to a
reduction of their salaries, He thought,
therefore, that it would be WMJJ* gra
oious to wait until those officers them
selves acted as he had suggested. He
therefore moved to lay tba motion ou
the table. ,
Mr. Phinizy said, he would withdraw
the resolution if it was impossible for
the Directors to carry it out. Still he
thought that the resolution did not
mean to say that the red action should be
made at present if it eould not be dope
but whenever it became possible.
Mr. Phinizy offered the following
resolution, which was adopted ;
Resolved, That the Directors of this
corporation be requested to look inte j
the matter of salaries and if possible to
reduce the same.
Na BolMmlms Operative*.
Mr. Walsh said he desired to present
the followhtg to the stockholders. It
might be said that it was a matter with
which they had nothing to do, bat if the
facts were true he thought they did
have a great deal to do with it:
“It is reported that Mr. Francis Gogin,
Superintendent, has on several occa
sions, daring elections in this city, used
the influence of hia position, as Super
intendent of the Augusta Factory, to
control the vote* of the workmen em
ployed by this corporation; be it there
iol“Resol*ed, That no officer connected
with this company has any right to
exercise any undue influence, muoh lees
arbitrary control, over the political righto
of the workmen employed by this cor
poration, and that they be left entirely
fre to exefeise the elective franchise as
*Mr bethought this was
a matter with which the stockholders
nothing to do. He, therefore, mov
ed to lay the preamble and naaolotion
on the table. . t ,
Gov. Jenkins said if he had a vote he
would vote against the preamble, as
there was no positive proof that the alle
gations were correct.
Mr. W. H. Howard said he woald
seoond the resolution. He knew that
Mr. Oogin did use his influence in elec
tions to make the operatives of the Au
gusta Factory vote as he pleased. He
Had seen him doing this ia the interest
of a&- Estoe against Dr. Ford. He
thought the stockholders did have a
great deal to do with it. It should be
8t said as remembered that,
two years ago, whew y resolution was
introduced in the Legislature to repeal
the bill exempting factories from lega
tion. he did all in hia power to protect
the interests of the Augusta Factory, aa
it was hie duty to do, and yet he bad
I—mil wilkiii Hin lairi thrnrr in r**~~ that
the whole power of that institution had
been wielded against him, Mr. Oogin
arbitrarily using bis influence to mate
hdir Sr Cogin was acting. He had told
Mr. Jackson that he did not desire any
influents to be used in hbr favor, but he
did ask that the operatives be left hpe
to voteuts they pleased.
Mr. Jackson said he had gone to Mr.
Gogin and requested him not to inter
fere with the operatives.
Mr. Walsh arid he was willing to
strike ont all names apd leave the reeo
lation so as to prevent any one from
using power arbitrarily with the opera
tives. He read the resolution, as follows :
Resolved, That no officer connected
with thisjMunpany has any right to ex
ercise tmhWb influence, muon lees arbi
trary control, over the political righto of
the workmen employed by this oo pora
tion, and that they be left entirely free
to exercise the elective franchise as they
may see proper.
Mr. Jackson afked if that would not
infer that arbitrary power had been
used ? He had heard of no each power
being used. v t
Mr. Phinizy withdrew his motion to
lay on the table.
The resolution as offered by Mr.
Walsh was then adopted unanimously.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.
BULLDOZED BILLIARDS.
SesatM Sherman Knows Haw It Is Himself
—The Hamoraus Side of the Louisiana Con
tent—Canntin# Oat at Billiards—Game Be.
tweea a member of the Relnrnina Board
and a VUitin* statesman.
Nxw Obleans, December 18.—The
Northern papers gave an account of the
informal call by Senator Sherman, Eu
gene Hale and other visiting statesmen,
upon Mr. Kenner, a member of the Re
turnipg Board. The Associated Press
stated that the honorable gentleman re
ceived them in hip saloon, in his shirt
sleeves, and had a brief conversation
with them. Thia- is true, but is only a
part of the tnftb. Mr. Kenner is the
proprietor of a taloou which contains a
billiard table, and Senator Shermau
thought it would be a good idea to draw
him out confidentially, and so challenged
him to a game of billiards. Mr. Kenner
after Mr. Sherman had
picked out a cue and put his coat as far
away from Mr. Kenner as possible and
asked Mr. Hale to keep an eye on it, the
game begah. The Senator is a player
of experience, and on this oooasion was
in singularly good form. The returns
of the game, as compiled by the by
standers, were as follows :

When the Senator had made the win
ning shot, a very diffionlt five-cushion
with a great deal of side, he said to his
opponent:
“Well, Kenner, I guess that sticks
yon for the game and the drinks.”
‘‘J dunno ’bout dat, Bah,” replied Mr.
Kenner; ‘“speedah was a good deal ob
intimidation in dat yah game, sah. De
third hand whah I made 2 billiahds, an’
got de balls np ’g ip. de enshion, recol
lect, sah ?”
“Yes, bnt yon hadn’t any chalk on
yonr stick, and after you had made a
misoue J went in and ran 11.”
“8o you did, Mass' Sherman, an’ ber
ry well you made 'em, too, but if my
cue had been greased you wouldn’t have
got dose 11 points at all, foh I’d have
made 12 and lef’ de balls safe. I guess,
sah, we'll throw out dat run foh intimi
dation. Dat takes 11 off* yo’ string,
an’ puts 12 en mine. Well, sah, to re
sume. In de fifth hand, you mind, I
missed clean ?”
“Yes,” said.Mr. Sherman, “you went
a little fine on the first ball.”
“Jes so, sah, jes so. Dat was a mighty
po’ shot of mine—not what I meant to
make at all. If I’d giben the ball mo’
force, an’ different direction an’ de oder
side I’d ’a’ jes’ plummed dose balls,
shnab, got ’em together an’ ran ’boat 17.
Say J. 6. ~ Den, when you run 12, dab.
Well, sah, de ins’ shot was a fluke; yo’
played straight foh de white an’ went
dean round it pp’ de ball went right
round de tttble and came back, sah. ”
“No, no," protested the Senator from
Ohio, though with a slight blush; “I
played for it with three cushions—took
the two ohanoes, you know.”
“So, Mass' Sherman, we’ll oonsidak
dat if you hadn’t balldozed dis yeah
ball you wouldn’t’a’made dat yah run.
We will reject it, sah. Den all I had to
do was to make 4 nex’ hand an’ dat put

“Have anotbah game, sah ? affably
inquired Mr. Kenner, as he respotted
the balls.
“No, thank you,” replied Mr. Sher
man, putting his one in the rack. “But,
I say, Kenner, you have no business to
count a game that way.”
“Why not, sah’ De rules ob de
house,” said Mr. Kenner, producing
them, “de rules ob de house says, ‘ All
disputes in counting to be referred to
thp proprietor.’ ”
Mr. Hale examined the rules and
said : “It is plepr to me that Mr. Ken
ner is in the rigpt. These rales appear
to be nropejrty worded pud punctuated,
and po ope pan deny that Mr, Kenner is
legally entitled to make such provisions
for the regulation apd trapsaction of
business oo hjs own premises as he
thinks proper, We dearly oanpot in
terfere here.”
“ But,” protested Mr, Sherman, “he
was interested ip the result—he counted
himself in.”
“ S-s-h! ” said Mr. Stoughton, “ re
member Sonth Carolina and Florida !”
Mr. Sherman “a-s-h”-ed.
<) sab,” continued Mr. Ken
ner, “dese gepiiuen, in whose integrity
I hab every confidence, was round de
table to see a fair count. Wbat will von
hab gemmen ? Dis yeah is Mass' Sher
map’s treat.”
The qaaptpt drank confusion to Til
den, but Mr. Rentier jpg ivertantly ad
dressed Mr. Stoughton aa fr kjtyd Bit
tabs,” and so shocked the sensitive gen
tlamed from New York that his hair
stood or end. Ml, Sherman threw down
a ten-dollar bill,
“Ope game ob billiards, two bits,”
said Mr. Kenner, “is 40 cents, an' de
game Mass’ Shermau wouldn't play is 40
mo’, dat’s 90; an’ two sherries an’ bit
tahses is 50 cents—sl 55; an’ pony bran

“Kenner,” said the Senator, as he was
going out—“Kenner, I’m a little carious
about ope thing. What in—in Louisiana
is the use of anybody’s playing? They
might just as w o ll Vot pjay at all, but
let yon figure opt the set-re mp* P#7 J oa -

“Yes, sah,” assented Mr. Kenner;
“bnt mos' gemmen lijf o * de exoitement

On , their way pp town Mr. Sherman
took out hia pocket in pfy car fare,
and remarked;
“I thought tbt nigger gage me a five
dollar bill !’* i
“.He did,” said Mr. Hale,
“Well, it’s a two,” continued Mr,
Sherman, “and Til be bulldozed if it
isn’t a counterfeit.”
“O,” said Mr. Stoughton, “it must

One of the most important duties de
volving upon the General Assembly soon
to convene at Atlanta, is the election of
a Wited States Senator to fill the va
cancy made by the expiration of the
term of the Hon. T. M. Norwood. Es
pecially ia this true in view of the pres
ent alarming political complications and
the unusual peril which, at this time,
threatens the constitutional liberty of
the Republic. If there ever was a time
in the history of this country when true
and conservative statesmanship was
needed in the councils of the nation
that time has now arrived and it be
hooves the people of the great common
wealth of Georgia to take earnest and
sagacious counsel together, in the choice
of a man worthy to represent the great
interest at stake, and who shall combine
the Tare powers of intellect and charac
ter with sagacity and experience in pub
lic affairs. Such a man is Herschel Y.
Johnson, who not only possesses these
qualities to an eminent degree, but en
joys the unqualified confidence of the
people of his own State and commands
the admiration and respect of the nation.
/There is not an intelligent man in
Georgia who to-day does not bow at the
shrine of his grand intelleot, and pay
homage to his virtue; not one perhaps
who woald hesitate to acknowledge his
pre-eminence among the distinguished
gentlemen whose names are mentioned in
connection with this high office, not oue
who would not feel that in his selection
the hoDor of Georgia would be safe in
any crisis demanding the exercise of
either moral or intellectual power. We
are told by some, however, that unfor
tunately Gov. Johnson is not nor has
been a candidate, that conseqnently the
field has been systematically and thor
oughly canvassed by wide-awake aspir
ants, who, in their disinterested patriot
ism, have succeeded in convincing the
credulotfß electors that the country will
be lost without their services; that these
electors mellowed and ripened by the
sun of flattery, are already harvested by
these gleaners of the political field, Ac ,
Others shaking their wise heads say
Sorrowfully, “there was a time iu this
State when high offices like the Senator
ship sought the man, and not the man
the office,” but that time has long since
passed and no man can now succeed,
who, in the language of the subpoena,
does not, laying all other,'basineas aside,
seek diligently the button holes of the
people and herein fail not on pain of
political ostraoism,
While we reoognize much that is true
in the foregoing opinions, and lament
the degeneracy of the times, we are not
yet prepared to believe that the gentle
men who have been selected to repre
sent the people of Georgia are carried
in the breeches pocket of any man or
set of men. We have hastily surveyed
the list of Senators and Representatives
elect, and we do not recognize in the
majority of them the stuff of which tools
and puppets are usually moulded. Ou
the oontrary, we see among them men
who are independent thinkers and sterl
ing patriots who will be controlled only
by high considerations of duty, unin
fluenced by personal appeals and im
portunities for theig votes.
We repudiate, therefore, the charge
that these gentlemen have been already
secured, or, to use a farmer’s phrase,
they are in any man’s mark, but be
lieve they will enter upon the discharge
of the high trust delegated] by their
constituents with eyes single to the fit
ness of the man they select, and the in
terests of the great State which they
represent.
We do not believe that the grand
qualities aud past eminent services of
the distinguished Georgian, whose name
heads this article, will be overlooked for
the reason only that he has steadily
and firmly refused to avow himself a
candidate in the coming contest. Asa
yonng man, Governor Johnson served
his State in the United States Senate at
a time when the office sought the man;
when in that forum were (assembled the
intellectual Titans of the Republic, and
notwithstanding his comparative youth
and inexperience, proved himself the
peer of the most gifted in that august
body.
’i'was on thethreshhold of his political
fame that bja rising genius attracted the
attention of the oountry, and gave to
him that prominence which in after life
led to his nomination as Vice-President
of the United States on the ticket with
Stephen A. Douglas,
Riper years and a large experience
have moulded and matured his extraor
dinary gifts, and in the prime of life
and the season of usefulness with the
bloom of robust health upon his cheek,
he |is also in the zenith of his intellec
tual power.
We desire in this connection to re
mind the people of Georgia that Gov
ernor Johnson has been twice elected to
the United States Senate since the war,
and now holds both commissions signed
by Georgia’s noble don, Charles J. Jen
kins, the then Governor. He was not
allowed to serve his State in that ca
pacity, being at the time, in common
with many of the truest and best men
of the country, politically proscribed
Twice, therefore, since the war has
the wish and Will of the people of Geor
gia been defeated, and they, in obe
dience to the tyrannical deoree of the
party in power, were compelled to retire
from public life and usefulness one of
the truest and most gifted men whose
name adorns the annals of his. State, and
whose eminent gifts and great qualities
point to him to-day as the man above
all others to serve the oountry in the
greatest crisis through which, perhaps,
it will ever pass. Fellow-citizens of
Georgia, now that he labors under no
- political disabilities whieh prevents him
from taking his seat, let us sepd EJer
sohel V- Johnson to the senate of the
United States, where his great abilities
are needed more than ever. Let us
fitly reward the virtue of a great mind,
which, amidst the corruptions of a de
generate age, is still as pure as the
ioicle which hung from Dian’s Temple.
Let us pay a fitting tribute to the lofty
disdain with yhiph fyp loojp upon temp
tation, tLe deadly fiatrefi wWou he bears
to tyrants, and tpe faith wpich he has
so sternly kept with hjs country and
with hjs fame, Bason.
TUB OSLY WAY.
Hew Hares UM Be Inaugurated If at All-
Congress Must Be Suppressed by tbe Sol
diers—The Issue Narrowed Down to This—
Will the People Submit t
IReu York Suit.]
There is only one way to declare Ruth
erford B. Hayes elected President of
the United States, and that is the way
of fraud, usurpation and violence, the
way of revolution. If 1 the question is
controlled and settled by the one only
rule which coipmoh sepse, justice, and
the letter anfi apjrit of the Constitution
have provided, and wid.cn the nnyaj’ying
practice of the Government has followed
without a single exception eyer being
mafic in §ny case, then Mr. Hayes can
not be declared cl£g te <l? afifi cannot pos
sess either the title or tfie power of
President, That rule is, that the elec
toral Votes shall be counted by the two
Houses of Congress, assembled to
gether, yet each retaining its distinct
identity, and acting by its own proper
organs and officers, and the one House
performing the same power as the other.
Now, it is certain that if this rule is ob
serypd oh the present ooeasion, the
House of Representatives will never'
oonsent to oount those nineteen pre
tended electoral votes in favOr of Hayes
whioh result from the frauds of the Re
turning Boards in South Carolina, Lou
isiana and Florida. Those nineteen
votes the House will not allow or tol
erate. It will throw them out for the
reason that they do not express the will
ef the people, but only tljp will of a
dozen impostors at Columbia, New t)r
legps and Tallahassee ; that fhey are
nothing Miff falsehood, forgery and
fraud. Yet wltnoqfc pointing these
fraudulent votes G a y e f> oaunpt fie de
clared elected. . , .
In yiew yt this yery contingency, the
pretense has been set OP ff°Sl 8t
inception of the plct that it is 4°t the
two Houses who count the votes, but
only the President of the ftenate. That
offioer alone, we are told, has plenary
and absolute authority in this matter.
He alone decides every disputed case.
From different sets of electoral certifi
cates lye selects those which are to be
held true and valid, and those he counts,
rejecting and ignoring all others; and
thus hfi alone, without regard either to
the House or to the other members of
the Senate, decides and determines and
declares who is President; and from his
determination there is no appeal, the
House hiving no other part or power in
the ceremony than that of merely being
present to silently witness tbe perform
ance Such is the programme of those
who propose to make Hayes President
on the basis of the Returning Board
frauds. This programme they have
avowed and argued for from the very
beginning of their scheme. As long ago
as the 9th of November, only two days
after the election, it was broached and
proclaimed; and what is more important,
tt is the one sole methpd of carrying the
conspiracy ont to snecess. Without it
the enterprise must be shipwrecked.
But this programme canpot fieexe
ccfrKl by peaceful anfi regular means.
The House of Representatives is a very
great factor in the composition of this
Government. It cannot pe pnt aside by
any mere noise, snfi it will never suffer
the President of the Senate to uanrp the
authority of deciding upon electoral
certificates and creating a President by
his own will and pleasure. In order to
realize the project, the House of Bepre-
tentative* must fie suppressed. This can
only done by force, and to this end
troops[are present in Washington. Gen.
Grant has made no secret ot his readi
ness to use them for snoh a purpose,
but hab rather taken oare to publish it
on every ooeasion, and in various forms
of phraseology. That he will do wbat
he threatens, if those who control him
give him the signal, let no mat) doubt.
The otily question is whether they will
give tRe signal. The oooasion for giv
ing it is sure to come. The Honse will
never yield to the assumption ol' the
President of the Senate that be alone
does the counting; it will never permit
the roles of the three fraudulent States
to be Counted; it will never allow Mr.
Hayes to be declared President npon
those Votes ; and the only way to oount
those votes and declare him elected is to
put'down the House by bayonets.
The whole issue finally narrows down
to just this point, audit remains to be
knowm whether the Republicans will fol
low out to the end of the path on whioh
they entered when they set to work to
make their man President through the
manipulations of these Returning
Boards. There is a perfect harmony
between what they have already done,
and what still remains undone; military
violence is a natural ally of political
frand; and we are bonnd to say that the
attitude of the Republican party to
ward this subject, and of its journals
and politicians generally, is such as
must encourage the conspirators to go
on and complete their work. Yet the
suppression of the House of Represen
tatives by soldiers is so grave and preg
nant an undertaking that only fools or
desperadoes can contemplate it calmly.
Yet otherwise it is not possible for
Rntherford B. Hayos to be declared
President.

THE LOUISIANA TROUBLE-
Proceedings of tbe Democratic Caucus—The
Demand that the Legislative Halls be
Tltrowa Open—Kelloxx’s Helnsal—With
drawal of the Democrats and Organiza
tion of the Constitutional Legislature In
St. Patrick’s Hall.
New Obleans, January I.—The Dem
ocratic members of the Legislature met
in secret caucus yesterday morning.
Over fifty were present. They discussed
the policy to be pursued in view of the
assembling of tbe Legislature to day.
The point at issue was, whether they
should refuse to go in to the de facto
Legislature or organize outside a sepa
rate Hpuse, including the counted-out
members, or whether the members
retnrned by the Returning Board should
accept their certificates and make the
content inside. The city and more par
tisan members urged the former course,
while the country representation, which
is more conservative in tone, favored the
latter. It was finally deoided that the
duly returned members should accept
their certificates, and that the members,
both with and without certificates,
should to-day proceed to the State
House in a body and demand admission.
If u portion of them were refused, the
others should enter and take their seats,
prepared to make a desperate and ex
baustive contest in behalf of their count
ed out colleagues. Louis Bush was
unanimously agreed upon as the Demo
cratic candidate for Speaker.
This morning a heavy force of police
with side arms are on duty at the sta
tion house. Kellogg and Packard are
besieged by political friends. Nearly
all the;Republican members of the Leg
islature were in the building before 11,
a. m., while tbe Democratic members
and their friends remained in caucus at
the Demooratio headquarters on Canal
street, having agreed, it seems, upon no
programme. Whether the Clerk of the
House! will call the roll furnished by the
Secretary of State was the problem,
which none were able to solve. But
should he refuse, the Republican mem
bers will call upon one of the members
to perform that duty.
Justi before noon the Demoeratio mem
bers who had been in caucus sent a com
mittee to see if the State House was still
barricaded, and if so they will refuse to
go the House, and will, as soon as a hall
can bej secured, proceed to organize a
Legislature, at which the Clerk of the
old House, Trezevant, will officiate in
calling! the roll. A considerable orowd
is congregating at the corner of St.
Charles and Canal streets, near the
Democratic headquarters, but there is
but little excitement.
About noon the Demoeratio commit
tee called at the State House and asked
that the barrioades and police be re
moved, whioh Governor Kellogg de
clinedj and the Democrats withdrew.
At 12:30, p. m., the Clerk of the House
made a similar demand, which was like
wise refused, and he refused to call the
roll, whereupon Louis Sauls, a member
from Avoyelis, culled the House to or
der at the request of the Secretary of
State, Dealonde, and called the roll;
sixty-eight members answered, making
a quorum. Without administering the
oath to the members, the nomination of
Speaker was declared to be in order, and
ex-Governors flahn and Warmoth were
put in nomination, and a vote taken by
ayes an.i nays. Hahn received 53 votes
and was declared eleoted and took the
Chai*.
The Senate was promptly organized.by
Lieutenant-Governor Antoine with more
than a quorum. During the proceedings
about 500 persons were assembled on
Royal and St. Louis streets, in front
and on the side of the State House, and
cheered the Democratic committee
when it emerged from the State House.
But beyond this there was no noisy de
monstration. The Democrats then
went to St. Patrick’s Hall to organize
their Legislature. A little later (1, p.
m.) the Democratic Legislature met at
St. Patrick’s Hall. The Senate > n
the lafiies’ parlor, apfi'wqs palled to or
der by Senior Qdgep, a Senator hold
ing Over, Nineteen Senators, includ
ing nine holding-over Senators, an
swered to their names. This is the
number required for a quorum, and the
Domoerats| claim that another Senator,
who is sick, will act with them, making
twenty—seventeen of whose seats are
not contested.
The Ej!oi}se \yaa palled lb order about
1 q’clock fiy plerk Trezevant, and sixty
one members answered to their names
on the list as called. This being more
than a quorum, the nagje of Rush
was pqt in uomipaMop |op Speaker and
he was elected.
Lateb.— Governor Kellogg's message
is not long, bqt very pointed, Be re
fers to the difficulties which have sur
rounded him, organized tax resistance
and armed rebellion during two years of
his administration, and subsequently a
a revolutionary attempt to seize illegal
oontrol of the Lower House,and an effort
to displace executive authorities by
false and frivolous articles of impeach
ment, adopted in violation of plighted
faith. Respecting Statp finqnpes, he

ministration wppt into poorer was 21J
miljs on the fioljar, with SB equal taxa
tion far parish purposes. The tax for
all State purposes, including schools, is
now limited by constitutional amend
ment to 14J mills, and by a law of the
State the vote of parish taxation in no
case can exceed the rate of State tax.
Constitutional amendments limit the ex
penditures and render null and void all
warrants issued in excess of the reve
nue. The total of expense of the preced
ing State administration for the support
of the government from 1869 to 1876 in
clusive, was $1,162,005. The total ex
penses for the support of the govern
ment during the four years of my ad
ministration have been $4,209,825, a
saving of $1,412,180. The interest on
all bonds funded np to date has been
promptly met at maturity, the pay
ment of interest falling dq January 2,

ties have rendered the collection of
taxes somewhat slow, and it has not
been thought desirable to hastes the

cotton, one hnndred and eighty-six
thousand hogsheads of sugar, three

more than sufficient corn to supply all

N*w Yokk, January I.—The Hon.
Lucius Robinson was inaugurated Gov
ernor of this State to-day. In retiring
from offioe Governor Tildtaj addressed
him as follows:
Mr. Jlpbimaon :
The people of the State have given
you a distinguished evidence of their
confidence, in choosing you for their
Chief Magistrate upon a vote so unex
ampled. In that testimony I cordially
concur, without assuming to add to its
value. It is to me a great satisfaction
to surrender the chief official trust of
this Commonwealth to one whose valu
able 00-operation I have experienoed,
and whose oareer furnishes snch assur
ance df his purpose to prosecute the
work to which I have consecrated two
years of official service, and three pre
vious years of my private life. To re
call the goverdment of this State to the
pure condition of which, a generation
ago, you and I knew it; to remove fun
gus growths which, in evil times, had
overspread its administration and legis
lation; to lighten the intolerable bur
dens upon the people; to improve insti
tutions and laws; to systimatically call
into the oivil service, whether appoint
ment or election, men of higher ideas
of official life, of better training and
more general culture, thus utilizing a
class inferior in the arts of political com
petition, but superior in capacities for
pnblic usefulness—these are noble ob
jects. They had to be pursued through
stormy conflicts with selfish interests
and fixed habits. Our support was an
unfaltering trust in the people, if the
prospect of real reform could be made
visible. Our inspiration was a belief
that nothing worth saving could be lost
if onfy our work did not fail. [Ap
plause.]
The scrutiny of all candid men may
safely be challenged as to what has been
already accomplished. Wasteful and
corrupt systems destroyed, State taua
tion reduced one-half, new remedies for
official malversation enacted, the man
agement of the publio works and prisons
reorganized, and commissions prelimi
nary to other reforms instituted. These
are valuable results, but there are others
even more important. The standard of
official conduct has been elevated, and
with it the ideas, motives and influences
which surround official life as with an
atmosphere. The public suspicion of
legislative venality is disappearing, and
the lobbiers are disbanded. The Chief
Executive and administrative trrists of
the State have "been committed to gen
tlemen who are eminent not only for
personal probity, but for capacity and
high ideals of official duty. A genuine
reform in the civil service has thus been
realized which could oould not be the
product of any mere system or any mere
legislative without the effective 00-op
eration of the men conducting the ac
tual administration. I have traced
these results approved by the people at
the last two elections in this State, be
cause they encourage the aspirations of
the community fer a better government,
and tend to inspire a noble ambition in
all rising men to compete for honors and
power by appealing to the best moral
forces of human society, as an example
of these results are infinitely important.
His Views on Returning Boards nnd Federal
Bayonets, as Expressed in Ills Message.
Governor Robinson, in his message,
first treats of State matters at length.
Referring to national affairs, he says in
regard to Louisiana: “I pause here in
this statement to interpose, in behalf of
the people of this great commonwealth,
a solemn denial of the powers of any
State government of the Federal Gov
ernment to vest such powers as are
claimed by the Louisiana Returning
Board, in any Canvassing Board what
ever. ” He also reviews the action of
the Florida and South Carolina Boards,
condemning both their action and that
of the Federal Government in connec
tion with those two Boards. He de
clares the military interference have
been in violation of the Constitution
and laws. He says while these things
were going on in the South a member of
the Cabinet at Washington was acting
Chairman of a partisan National Com
mittee, and with the co-operation of
some of his colleagues in the Cabinet,
counseling and systematically stimulat
ing these desperate measures. With
reference to the President of the Senate
determining what votes shall be count
ed, he says the President of the Senate
is three removes from the people. If
such a power were to have been vested
in a single man, a depository would
have been chosen not so far removed from
the popular accountability,but the people
of this country will never vest such a
power in any one man, however selected.
They will never consent to anew con
struction of the Constitution and laws
that bears such fruit. They will stand
firmly in the ancient ways and insist
that the electoral votes in this emergen
cy shall be counted, as they have always
been counted by the two Houses of Con
gress, and by nobody else. In conclu
sion, he says the people of the JJnited
States will never popsept to have their
Representatives in Congress stripped of
those powers, or tolerate this usurpa
tion by a deputy of the Senate, or by
any single person, and still less by an
officer who is frequently interested as a
candidate in the result of the count. Iu
this sentiment and purpose the State of
New York cordially concurs. Foremost
among all our American commonwealths
in population, in the variety and extent
of her industries and interests, she £sß
in every vicissitude of publip aflfairs put
forth all her strength, paoral and physi
cal, to maiqttpp the existeuse and the
just authorities of the Union, and oho
can pever consent that the consecrated
methods of constitutional government
shall be supplanted or overthrown by
revolutionary expedients.

fect satisfaction as the V-iiGETINE, It purines
the blood, cleanses all the organs, and pos
sesses a controlling power over the nervous
system. v
The remarkable cttres ; effected by VEGE
TINE have induced many physicians' and apo
thecaries whom we know to prescribe and use
it in their own families.
In fact, VgfJETINE is the beßt remedy yet
discovered for the above diseases, and is the
only reliable BLOOD PURIFIER yet
placed before the public.
THE BEST EVIDENCE.
The following letter from Rev. E. S. Best,
Pastor of M. E. Church, Natiok, Mass., will be
read with interest by rna.iy physicians. Also,
those Buffering from the samo disease as af
flicted the son of the liev. E. 8. Best. No per
son can doubt thiß testimony, as there is no
doubt about the curative powers of VEGE
TINE :
Natiok, Mass., January 1, 1874.
Mr. H. R. Stevens : Dear Sir—We have good
reason for regarding your VEGETINE a medi
cine of the greatest value. We feel assured
that it has been the me&us of saving our Bon's
life. He is now seventeen years of age; for
the last two years he has suffered from necro
sis of his leg, caused by scrofulous affection,
and was so far reduced that nearly all who saw
him thought his recovery impossible. A coun
cil of able physicians could give us but the
faintest hbpe of his ever rallying, two of the
number declaring that he wb beyond the
reach of human remedies, that even amputa
tion could not save him, as he had not vigor
enough to endure the operation. Just then we
commenced giving him VEGETINE, and from
that time to the present he has been continu
ously improving. He has lately resumed hi
studies, thrown away his crutches and cane,
and walks about cheerfully aud strong.
Though there is still some discharge from
the opening where .the limb was lanced, we
have the fullest confidence that in a little time
he will be perfectlv cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles of
VEGETINE, but lately uses but little, as he
declares that he is too well to be taking medi
cine. Respeetfullyyours, E. 8. Best.
Mbs. L. C. F. Best.
ALL DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.
If VEGETINE will relieve pain, oleanse, pu
rify and cure such diseases, restoring the pa
tient to perfect health after trying different
physioUns, many remedies, suffering for years,
is it not conclusive proof, if you are a suff =rer,
you cau be cured ? Why is this medicine per
forming suoh great cures ? It works in the
blood, in the circulating fluid ? It can truly be
called the GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER. The
great source of disease originates in the blood,
and no medioine that does not aot directly up
on it, to purify and renovate, has any just
olaim upon public attention.
Recommend it Heartily.
South Boston, Febiuary 7, 1870.
Mr. Stevens Dear Sir—l have taken seve
ral bottles of your VEGETINE, aud am con
vinced it is a valuable remedy for Dyspepsia,
Kidney Complaint, and general debility of the
system.
I dan heartily recommend it to all suffering
from the above complaints. Yours, respect
fully, Mas. Monroe Parker,
388 Athens Street.

MASON & HAMLIN
Cabinet Organa
Have Been Unanimously Assigned the
a First Rank
T \? K SEVERAL REQUISITES”
Of such instruments, at the
I_J. Ceut iiiiial, 1876
And are the only organs assigned this rank. Their
superiority is thus declared, not in one or two re
spects only, but in all tbe important qualities of an
organ. A Medal and Diploma have also been award
ed them, but medals of equal value were awarded
all articles deemed worthy of recognition, so that
many makers can advertise “first medals” or “high
est awards.”
Comparative rank in excellence has been deter
mined by the Judges’s Report* alone, in which the
MASON & HAMLIN ORGANS are unanimously as
signed “the FIRST HANK in the several requisites”
of such instruments, and are tbe only ones assigned
this rank, flee Judges’ Reports. This result was
not unexpected, for these organs have uniformly
taken highest awards in such competitions, there
Axeing Jess than six exceptions in hundreds of com
parisons, They were awarded first medals and high
- est honors in Paris 1867, Vienna 1873, Santiago 1875,
Philadelphi \ 1876; having this been awarded high
est honors at every Wor d’s Exhibition at which they
have competed, and being the only Amrisap organa
which ever obtained any award in. Evope.
