it the better. We had hoped, that
through this issue wc might transmit to
our readers the glorious news th ‘t 1 li
ken* as certainly our next President,but
the press ‘telegrams for the past week
while now and then seasoned with

calculated to give one the blues. That

Now it only requires one more vote
in addition to the above 10 elect Mr.
Tilden. The Democrats claim upon
official count the States of South Caro
lina, Florida and Louisiana, wi'h 10
votes which would give Tilden in the
electoral college 203, IS more than is
necessary to elect, and would leave
Hayes only 16G votes- The Republi
cans however have beer, foreseeing events
foi some time, it is evident, have es
tablished in these three States their
*1 loyal” canvassing boards, which by
“ ways that are dark” in counting bat
been successful in arranging ll.i t
State returns so as to keep their party
in power, and now by the same I s
are attempting to subvert the will <d * l
majority of the people of the United
States and secure these States for Hayes,
which woul i give him the presidency
Prominent Democrats are in each of
these States upon invitation of the
Chairman of the National Committee
and will use their inflence in the inter
est of a fair count, and if this can
be had, there will be little need of fear
for want of the one vote
The latest dispatches say it will be a
week or more yet be fore the final result
in the Stales. And after all, the mat.
ter may have to go to Uongicss, when
nothing but a disagreement as affairs
now stand can be expected.
The Republican party have reached
the strait where there is no foreseeing
the unjust turns they will take to eon'
tinue in possession of the reins of goV'
eminent. The constitution has already
been set aside more than once to serve
the disgraced party aud its provisions
ore no more binding upon these miser,
able wretches. The ddvclopcmcnts which
are to follow the election may be calcu
lated to make American people shudder
at the unrighteous act cf her administra
tive powers.
The Servians have about enough of
fighting, and Turkey may now turn her
attention to Russia.

Lincoln’s Body —A -pecial dis
patch from Springfield, 111., to the
New York Herald says:
“ A most daring attempt was made
Tuesday evening by several scouurdels
to break iuto the vault of the Lincoln
monument A this place nd steal tberea
fir m the remains oi the dead President.
Some weeks ago it was suspected that de
signs of this kind were premedtiated,and
a’ strict and constant watch has been
kept. It was thought most likely that
to-night being election night,and every
body busy the election matters,
would be selected for the job Elmer
Wasliburne, lute chief of ihc secret ser
vice, and United States detective Tir
reil, with several assistants,were accor
dingly secreted ia the reception room of
the monument during the afternoon and
evening At uiue o’clock the attempt
yrr.9 made; the vault was entered ; the
sarcophagus was opened and the burial
case diawn out, when the detecitves
sprang cut, by the accidental discharge
of a revolver the monsters were fright
end and fled into the shrubbery. They
are now being pursued, and although
there is but a slight clue to their iden
tity they will doubtless be taken The
design was a deeply laid piau by sharp
men to arrange for a random.”
A Review oi'the political Siiua
tiou.
The election, wear: sorry to say,has
turned, as we reared it might, on the
issue of conceding equal rights and
force to the Southern ballot. Tilden
and Hendricks have most undoubtedly
received 203 electorial votes out of the
grand total of 309 in the electoral col
late. The real vote of* the country
stands: Tilden 203, Hays 166; but
this 203 includes the votes of Louisiana,
South Carolina and Florida—{States
which are controlled by some of the
most unprincipled tnen known in Amer
ican public life, and provided with legal
machinery to count out and reverse the
popular verdict.
This,it seems probable,is to bo brought
into active requisition. At least the
question gravely discussed in all South
ern circles —will the Radicals of the
Nortli attempt this act of infamous us
urpation ? The current of events indi
cate, wc fear, that it is at least under
advisement! The pretence of la r 0 c
Radical majorities in these throe Blutes
is set up and persisted in, by domestic
and central authority--there are start
ling reports and telegrams afloat—and
it is not to be denied thnt.this proceed
ing was distinctly foresha towed oy their
leading newspapers and orators before
the election.
Against the probabilities of such an
act of desperation we are pointed to the
long train of fearful consequences it
must involve. A complete military oc
cupation ol these three States fur years
will be necessary. It will be the third
time that the voters of Louisiana have
been robbed of their verdict at the bal
lot box by Federal authority. AH these
States are totie.ing on the extreme
verge of bankruptcy under the enor
mous abuses inflicted on them by par
tisan plunderers, and their cases be
comes desperate when this mastery is
perpetuated by military power direct
ed by lawless usurpation at Washing
ton.
And not only must these States be
brought under the permanent mastery
of the bayonet,but congress itself must
be revolutionized. It carnot be sup,
posed that a Democratic House would
vote supplies for the maintenance of
such an usurpation, and therefore the
House must be got rid of by some cor
responding viole. ce.
On the whole, there cannot be a rea
sonable doubt that this proceeding will
necessarily involve in its train such a
series of violences upon our whole fab
ric ot government as to amount to a
practiced and probably final abulition of
the popular representative system and
remit the whole American pol
itical future to the contingenc s
of violent partisan and personal mas
tery.
Hayes is so little adapted to the
theatre of acti n this policy will mark
out for, and force him inti, that it nay
w ell be doubted whether the so-eailed
Republican leaders will nrt hesitate to
take these steps ; or if they conclude to
t ike them, will not direct the electoral
~otes to be cost for Grant instead of
Ilayes, which they leisure have and op
po-tunity to do.
Again, it is said, with truth,that this
grand plot of a practical coup defat will
have a most disastrous effect on busi.
ness; and this fact will be made clea”
enough in the next few days. There is no
doubt of that. Business will fall pros
trate at once, and every man, a
Radical politician, will take a “grand,
gloomy and peculiar” view of th j
whole national future in every res
pect.
Such speculations as these now bur
den cqery mind ; but it is useless to
vex ourselves about them. The South
can do nothing in the premises, and it
is by no treans clear whether the North
can or will do anything to avert so great
a calamity.
In view of ihose circumstances what
the National Democratic Executive
Committee has done in Louisiana, is
to send,at the request of citizens of New
Orleans, a large delegation of eminent
men to inquire into the state ot the
polls,and,if possible, secure a fair count.
These men, however, are without legal
authority, and it is extremely doubtful
whether the Louisiana Radical swill af
ford them any opportunity to get at the
facts.
We can but hope that reflection will
satisy the New York and Washington
Radical committees that i. is better
not to attempt this madness , but we

DISHESIKEKZXtt TURKEY.
A Startling I’iece ofSecret ISii to
r y.
If we are told that the interests of jus
tice and humanity loudly call upon this
couutry to enter in to a ciose, cordial
and disinterested alliance with Russia
for the setilemeut of the affairs of the
East, our answer shortly, is that we
have tried it. T at is precisely what
Mr. Canning and the Duke of Welling
ton attempted to do by the protocol of
April, 1826. fl’he consequence was a
series of wars, the destruction of the
military power of Turkey in Asia, as
well ns in Europe, and the pros.'ntion
of Turkey herself under the protection
of a Russian fleet and and army in the
Bosphorus. Yet. the the liberation of
Greece was a far easier task than the
revulsion from Turkey of her northern
provinces. The Mussulman population
of Greece was insignificant, and could
he brought out. The Greeks hud wag
ed war, not unsuccessfully,for six years
i be Greek nation was unanimous. The
los3 of Greece was not fatal to the Otto
man empire
On the other hand, Russia succeeded
in securing for herself great territorial
and political advantages from these
ITU -SaetiuLS and at last held Turkey
and Constantinople itself almost entirely
in her grasp. If we are not misinform.- 1
ed, Gen. Ignatieff, whose influence over
the late Sultan was almost paramount,
and who had a large share in the most
improvident :nd oppressive acts of his
reign, hod brought matters to a point
veiy nearly resembling the alliance of
Unkiar Skelessi. The terror of the half
insane and incapable sovereign had
been excited to the highest pitch by the
dread of an outbreak in Constantinople.
Russia was again to protect him ; a
corps of troops was ready, tp sail for the
Bosphorus, and the demand for their
intervention was either signed or on the
point of being signed by* the Multan
when the manifestation of the Softas.,
speedily followed by the deposition of
Abul Aziz, cut short the intrigue. —
This is a matter of secret history, and,
we are certain, that there are circum
stances connected with the scheme of
Gen. Ignatieff and the despotism of the
Sultan which have not yet been made
public. The fall of that unhappy and
misguided sovereign was the death blow
to a whole system of policy based upon
his subserviency to the Russian Ambas
sakcr and nothing remained but for
Gen. Ignatieff to quit for a time the
*cene ot the discomfiture.
I’oarth oOliirch.
“If Tilden is e’ected to be the next
President of the United States, I’ll bet
UOO that lie is not sworn in on the 4ih
of March ” and hia was the remark drop
ped bj a Republican in discussing Pres
idential probabilities with a Democrat,
whereat she latter replied, “ Great God,
does your party mean revolution in ad
dition toother usurpations of law.”
“Oh no. not at all. Tilden, if elected,
will not be inaugurated President on
the 4ih of March,and for the very good
reason that it falls on Sunday.” Such
is the fact. The official term of Pres
ident Grant as President expires at 12
o’clock noon on Sunday, the 4th of
March, and from that time until the
day following, when either Governor
Tilden or Governor Hayes can take the
oath, the acting Vice President, Sena
tor T. VV. Ferry, of Michigan, will be
Hie President of the United States
That the next president will not be
sworn iu on Sunday has already been
settled by historical precedent. The
constitution provides that the President
and \ ice President of the United States
shi ll hold their offices during the term
of four years, but no provision was made
by the framers of that instrument when
the lour years term should commence.
By act oi' Congress, passed September
13th, 1788—the constitution at that
time having been ratified by a sufficient
unrnber of States —the time sec for the
inauguration of the first President oi'
the United States, and the commence.,
ment of the wu:k of the new constitu
tion, was the first Wednesday in March
1789, that being the sth of March. In
fact, however,the inauguration of Pres®
ident Washington did not take place
until Wednesday, April 30th, eight
weeks after the designated time. In
more than in one history it has been
enormously stated that the constitution
went into effect aud the inauguiation
took place on the 4th of March, that
being neither toe day appointed, nor
the actual day of neither event. Be
fore ihe second term of Pi esidqpt Wash
ington the day for commenc ng the term
of cilice was changed. The act of
March is , 1792, provided that the
terms oi four years for which a Presi
dent and Y r iee President shall be elec i
ted, shall, in all cases, commence the 4th
of March next succeeding the day on
which the votes of the electors shall
have been given. The 4th oi'
March, 1793, on which, by law
the second term of President
Washington commenced.fell on Sunday.
There is uo recoid staling exactly the
day on which Washington took the oath
of office, but Rum his known character,
aud from the course of after proceed
ings in similar cases, there is little doubt
bis second inauguration was on Monday,
March sth. The next occurrence of
the 4th of March ia presidential
year falling on Sunday was in 1821
when President Monroe commenced bis
second term. The inauguration was
on Monday the sth. The Natonal In
telligencer on March the Gth describes
toe scene,aud said the oath of office was
administered by Chief Justice MarshaM.
The proceedings took piace in the house
of representatives. The third occur
rence of the kind was in 1849, when
President Tyler was inaugurated. In
this instance, also, the ceremonies took
place on Monday the sth ol March.
Next year the President-elect will,
therefore, be inaugurated cn Monday,
the sth of March,instead of Sunday the
4ih. There is no special law bearing
on the subject, but the proceedings fol
low the general rule that for legal pur
poses Sunday is a dies non, and Satur
day the 3rd of March, therefore only
ends when Monday begins. This rule
is followed in congressional proceedings
where it has happened that Saturday’s
sitting has been prolonged until Mon
day, tho record showing no evidences of
part of the procee iing9 haveing taken
place on Sunday. Every seventh Pres
dential term the 4th of March on which
the term should commence, falls upon
Sunday. Unless there should be a
change ia the durat’or. of the term this
coincidence will not occur again untilthe
year 1905. — Washington Star.
The terms of twenty-five Unites States
Senators will expire next March. The
successors of some of these have already
been chosen. Powell Clayton, the no
farious Arkansas carpet bagger who kept
the people of that Sta.e under military
subjection when elected by the aid of
the military Governor, will be replaced
bv a Democrat. John A. Logan wiil
by hard work to be re-elected from Illi
nois; J. Redman West, the notorious
California carpet-bugger, will not again
be returned at the point of the bayonet
from Louisiana; Blaine will contest
the seat ot Morrill, in Maine; James L.
Alcorn, will be succeeded by a Demo
crat in Mississippi; Fielinghuysen will
of course, give wiv to a Democrat in
New Jersey; Robertson will be succeed
ed by a Democrat iD South CarolioajM.
C Hamilton. Republican, w>ll also give
way to 'me of those followers of Tiideu
in Texas. All the present Democratic
Senators whose terms expire on the 4ta
of Maich will be re-elected except Kel
ley, of Oregon. If we carry Oregon he
cau be returned.— Cincinnati Enquirer.
A fight in Mississippi.
A gentleman of this city received
yesterday a letter from R M. Tweed,
Esq., a merchant of Rodney,Mississip i,
which gave an’account of a fitthc between
the whites and negroes, in which quite
a large number were killed and wound
ed. From the account reeieved from
Mr. Tweed, it appears that on last Sat
urday afternoon, near \ue town of Eb
eneezer, in Mississippi, two negroes be
came involved in a quarrel,which resuL
led in the killing ofoue of the negroes.
A warrant was issued fir the arrest of
the negro who committed the homicide,
and the Sheriff, with a pi sse,started out
to arrest him. The Sheriff and party,
while on the road to the town of Fay
ette, were fir. and upon by negroes in am
bush and one of the Sheriff’s party,was
killed and another wounded. The
Sheriff and his posse halted, and after
consulation decided to await reinforce
ments. While waiting, a large number
of negroes gathered and attacted them.
A desperate fight ensued,in which q ’iie
a large number of colored men were kill
ed.
After the fight, in anticipation that a
large force of negroes would gather and
attack town of Rodney,the town was
picketed, and the citizens prepared to
resist ?ny*attack that he mic’e
The town lemained through
the night,and in the morning,the appre*

Neuralgia, as a Dinner Pill,
for Purifying the Blood,
the most ef
fective and conge
are' mild, but ef
fectual in their

searching cathar
tic medicine that can be employed : cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill a day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
Ayer’s Pxll3 have been known for
| more than a quarter of a century, and have

I virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc
tions within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the every-day complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
; diseases that have baffled the best of
! human skill. While they produce power
! ful effects, they are, at the same time, the
! safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they gripe much less
than.the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inflamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
j and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
