FoR THE IENEFIT Of those exceedingly
careful patriots who seem TO thlnk that the
Republican party, as q party, and consld'
cred from O partisan standpoint, has no
connection with the future preservation of
the Union, we repeat what we said the day
the bill to Protect Electors passed the
House
"The Electoral College Is composed OF 500
votes. One hundred and eighty-four votes are
necessary to O choice for President, all the
States being counted. The States OF North
and South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Ala
bama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and
Texas, all more or less subjected to White
League rule, cast seyenty-two Of these votes.
Under White League rule their votes will be
cast for Democratic President. Under fair
and impartial election their votes will be cast
for q Republican President. Add to these
States Virginia, where intimidation exists to
great extent, West Virginia, Tennessee, Della
ware, Kentucky, Maryland and Missouri, all
more or less given over to State rights theo-
ries and secession doctrines, and we have
sum total OF one hundred and thirty-eight
Southern electoral Votes-only forty six less
lIIdh ls lGlulIGu lOI u LlayOIlIg III INC LIcCLOIdI
College. If these forty-six votes should be
obtained from the Northern States for can
didate of Southern procliyities, State rights
President would be elected. To secure the
country from this threatened peril it is neces-
sary that the White League usurpation in the
aforementioned States shall be overthrow.
Seventy-two electoral votes will thereby be
saved to the Union and the Republican party"
That is exactly what we intended to say.
These votes must be preserved "t0 the
Union and the Republican party" Let
those who cavil at this tell us if it is desira-
bic that they should be cast for the Demo
cratic party-the party which relies upon
such unreconstructed rebels as Gordon and
Lamar to do its stump-speaking in loyal
antiState rights and anti-secession New
England; the party which denies the right
Of the General Government to coerce a re-
bellious State, and the party which is now
engaged in encouraging the Southern States
to expunge from their solemnly enacted re-
construction constitutions all recognition Of
the superior authority Of the General Gov
eminent.

hearers frequently by his bold and unquali-
fed advocacy of the rights Of States and
the supremacy of those rights over any
privilege o. power that may reside in the
General Government. Further, to-day
under the inspiration of an earnest belief
in this great political heresy the people of
Arkansas, aided, 1t is tue, by the cowardly
treachery of pusillanimous Republicans,
are living under an amended State consti-
tuition, which nowhere recognizes the ex-
istence of superior power in the General
Government, the clause in the Constitu-
ton of 1868, embracing that recognition,
having been expunged by the Garland
convention. Still further, the people of
North Carolina will soon be called upon to
vote upon the question of State conven-
ton, the only excuse for the assembling of
which is to be found in the desire of the
Democratic leaders Of the State to return
to ante 6eIlum constitutional forms. In
fact unless the schemes of the plotters of
treason are checked, every Southern State,
and possibly every Democratic State,
will eventually be revolutionized as regards
their organic acts in such q way as to reas-
sert the infamous doctrine Of State Rights.
Let the voters of Pennsylvania pay heed
to this admonition, and, above all things,
LET the Prohibtionists and Local 0ptionists
remember that when they injure the Re.
publican party by dividing Its strength
they aid the Democracy In the realization
of It's most deteStable and really reasonable
| designs.

An Appalling Possibility.
CFrom the St. Louis Globe. J

1t occurs 10 US that in sending Gen. Schenck
to England as the Evangelist of draw-poker,
We have been sending him forth as lamb
among wolves. 1t would be an awkward out
come, and a thing unutterably disgusting to
every patriotic American, if our Minister
should be hoist with his own petard-scooped
on his deal; If some Englishman, with an eye
glass, mutton-chop whiskers, blonde hair
parted in the middle, and a facility for cover
ing the carpet foot deep with dropped chs, F"
should play the game of America in all its
pristine ferocity, and raise our champion out
OF his boots, or outsize him in the SHOW as
the bull-elephant outsizes the domestic calf.
Though they call the jack the knave over
in England, and talk about haces and trays,
those who move in patrician circles are as
apt as All Sing in converting a game OF
chance into a contest of skill. Major
William Hartford, of that crack corps,
the 18th Hussars, a brother of Lord
Suffeld, is the latest hero of a scandalous
gambling episode. He had been playing BAG
carat at a club in Nice for very high stakes,
being a winner of some $4,000, when he was
detected substituting cards from his cigar
case for such as had been dealt him but did
not suit his hand. The company thereon rose
and left him in the SPECIFICS indignation in
spired by virtue as yet unsuspected-or unde-
tccted, the honest dealer feeling for his
watch and directing the walters to see to- the
overcoats in the hall. Major Harbord saw
that the ''game was up" and, hurrying to
his lodgings, prepared to take the first train
for London. He sent some $500 worth of
counters (chips) to the bank, but it refused to
cash them, thereby showing its Spartan virtue
and coming out so much ahead. Then the
brother of Lord Suffield fed to his own, his
native land, by lightning express, and sent in
his papers to the Horse Guards with
view to "selling out" before the
inevitable exposure was made. But
II was he, and not the commission that was
sold, for who could believe that steam could
outtravel scandal? The Royal Gazette an
nounced CURLY that the major was retired,
"Her Majesty having no further occasion for
his services" so that he loses his commission,
and is socially ostracised. This should be an
awful warning TO English gamblers of position
not to cheat at cards SO clumsily as to be found
out; but, even though the Times has devoted a
leader to the case, so long as men with long
purses will play at the clubs for high stakes
with men who can't afford to lose, because
they couldn't pay If they did, the awful exam
pie of Major Hartford is not likely to have a
deterrent effect. Only our advice to Mr..
Schenck is to keep an eye on his game when
ever he undertakes to initiate a neophyte who
may have cut his eye teeth on the kindred
game of loo. 1t is not "pennies and sixpences
the customary English stake''-that depends
upon the game, but the honor of the country,
Of the dead Henry Clay and the living Farweli
ard Logan.

"THERE is encouragement for the South

Gin such language as this, says the Gal
weston Meas a red hot rebel sheet, in COM
plimentary @ allusion TO a quotation in IFS
columns from the New York Times. The
Ne1cs should know better The Tins is in
capable Of encouraging any one, because it
is incapable of rejecting the solid opinions
OF any respectable class Of people in the
country. If it really believes the deduc-
ton it makes from the Times article that
the civil rights bill will either be repealed
or remain a dead enactment" it is sadly
mistaken. But the Times, in its apparently
successful attempt to delude the NeUS, has
served its purpose, which was simply to dis
credit the Republican party by charging
upon il the enactment Of law which il
does not intend to enforce. And the Times
pretends TO be Republican newspaper!

THE published statement that Judge
White, ex-representative from Alabama,
has been selected by the Department of
Justice TO prosecute cases of violations of
United States laws in the Southern States,
is incorrect. 1t no doubt had its founda-
ton in the we'll known fact that he ranks
among the ablest lawyers in the South,
and is therefore well qualified for such an
Office. As the virtual author of the bill to
Protect Electors, and as man Of indie
fatigable industry, he earned a deserved
reputation for commanding ability in the
last House, which entities him, if he seeks
a Government Office, which We believe he
docs not, to a more substantial recognition
than would be afforded by the appoint
ment referred to.

councils" When, under its present
management, has the Times been in unity"
with the party? Has it not been at con-
slant war, on personal grounds, with some
one of the party leaders2 Take Governor
Fish, for example. He is New Yorker,
and has been repeatedly honored by the
people Of New York in various ways. He
is q social leader and a man of varied &C
complishments, whose ability to perform
the duties of his present Office no one has
doubted. Did not the Times, when Mr..
Fish was reappointed to be Secretary of
State at the beginning of President Grants
second term, slur the nomination and cast
discredit upon itf Again, take. Senator
Conkling, another distinguished New
Yorker, who is perhaps truer representa-
tive of Republican sentiment in New York
than any other man in Congress. Did not
the Times attempt to extort from one of his
friends the sum of one thousand dollars in
payment for the publication in its columns
of his great speech on the Louisiana ques-
tion9 The Rochester papers printed
it in full, simply as q matter Of
public information and Of public import
ance. Here we see the Times idea Of
"unity in our councils" But 1t is said
that Mr.. Fish declined to accept hint 10

incurred the lasting disfavor Of man who

THE Cincinnati Commercial asks "who
'has authorized the Cleveland Herald to
"speak of Carl Schurz as a Democrat
and adds that "SchurZ had only to make
his submission to the party in order to be
ere elected to the Senate" 1t is not often
that our evening contemporary, the Star,
branches out into the discussion of such
topics as the one presented in the foregoing
quotation; but when it does it makes reply
in extreme radical language; like the fol-
lowing:
Nothing Of the sort. The trouble with Mr..
SchUrz was that he belonged to the wrong
army during the rebellion. He could easily
enough have squared his principles to a Dem
Ocratic platform, but his war record he could
not wipe out. That is what was the matter
with Schurz."
We submit that such a declaration rs this
is treason to respectable conservatism, -
and savors much of the flavor of strict par
tisanship; but it is sound logic and incor-
trOvertible truth, nevertheless.

HAWAIIAN TREATY.

Some OF tho Democratic papers have tried
10 excite hostility 10 this treaty because II
was negotiated by the present AdmInlstra.
ton, although II Is national measure,
based upon what has usually been called
the Democratic idea Of free trade. BY
granting q moderate concession In trade to
tho Hawaiian Islands the United States
gain what II has been the policy OF every
Administration TO obtain, viz the control
Of the Islands by preventing any foreign
Power from obtaining any fOothold there.
The Boston Post, however, reviews the
question from 0 national standpoint, as
follows:
"Under any other Administration It would
have excited the widest remark that a treaty
to secure reciprocal trade with a neighborIng
country like Canada, professedly the insplra-
ton OF the Executive, and certainly the care
full work of a Secretary Of State and foreign
minister, should have met with such contempt
nous Indifference at the hands Of Senate no.
toriousiy obedient, and suffered at last to die
out of public notice by those who were counted
on to give 1t successful support. 1t shows
that there was some moro powerful motive In
the matter than party fealty, strong as that
has ever been, and leaves but the single infer
ence that monopoly or local interests are able
to override every other obligation, whether to
the party or the country. The treaty with the
Hawaiian Islands forms the chief business of
the extra session Of the Senate, containing Id
eral provisions for United States manufactures,
yet interfering in no manner with the staple
products of any Of the Southern States. Aside
from the considerations of trade, there is the
controlling one that our policy in reference to
the commerce of the Pacific should steadily
look to the possession of exclusive naval sta
lions that will furnish protection for our COM
mercial relations with the far East. We should
manifest far-sighted and even jealous care
against the establishment of European posts
across the paths Of our own commercial power.
A reciprocity treaty with Hawaii is, on this
account, of urgent Importance. If it secures
pledge, as this treaty does, that the Hawaiian
king will not consent to the occupancy of any
part of the islands by other Powers for naval
stations, the matter ought to be regarded as
determined. The saving to the United States
Of large expense in supporting a powerful
naval force by this timely concession will much
more than compensate for any alleged disad-
vantages in particular branch of trade with
the islands. The sugar refining interest on the
Pacific coast is opposed to the ratification of
the treaty. The annual production Of sugar
on the islands is estimated at thirty million
pounds, which is to come in free of duty on
account OF reciprocal advantages, not the least
of which is the exclusive grant Of naval sta
ton.'
