If Tilden is elected wo want tj know it so that we can feel good in earnest, and if we are to have another term of Grantlsrri through Hayes, the quicker wo become resigned lo endure 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 cheei ful aspects have been upon the whole calculated to give one the blues. That the following States have given their electoral vote to Tilden no one has yet do hied : 1r Alabama W Miasouvi.... Arkansas.,. * N f, Delaware 3 North Carol,na.... 0 Ceergla —S Indiana 1® lexa^.... K-ntnckv 12 Virginia Maryland. West Virginia .A Mississippi 8 1 18 4 Total 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. Samuel J. Tilden reeieved a popular majority of nearly a half million. The Centennial Exhibition closed with a flourish on the 10th ius taut. Hayes is still Governor of Ohio. llurah for the “ SolidEouth.” 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 sbali sec. —Macon Telegraph oj Sun dag. 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.

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* b.enssions of danger being in a measure al’ayed, the citizens dispersed to their homes.— New Orleans Times , sth.
