NO FIGHTING POSSIBLE.

Tho st. Louis Republican writes of Mr.
Hayes just as the STATESMAN has done.
he has shown by every act and utterance,
since he became q candidate for the presi
dency, that his adherents are unworthy OF
him. His conduct has been that Of q
statesman and patriot comprehending the
dignity of the position to which it was pro-
posed to assign him, and il he said, as re-
ported, that he feared, in case of his de-
feat, that the negro would be the sufferer,
he has only been victimized by his associ-
ates and newspapers. His conduct every
where, his fame among lis neighbors, his
personal appearance, alike lead Us to be-
lieve him a patriot and an honest, worthy
gentleman. II he become President. the
st. Louis Repu6iicds is authority for the
assertion thTt he will avoid the extreme
and malignant members OF his party anu
select his advisers and placeholders from
among conservative Republicans. The
facts are given as recited by the Republican
and by Northern newspapers, and there is
no difference of opinion among them as to
the personal and moral worth of the man
whom we have esteemed infinitely better
than the party he represents. II in thi-
sstimste of Mr.. Hayes personal worth the
country be not mistaken, it must follow
that II he be crowned with the oiiice by a
minority OF the people Of the United States
and then by fraudulent acts Of a returning

PINCHBAcK's claim to a seat in the San
ate was decided upon the alleged illegality
of the body which elected him. This
same body, it appears, enacted the law es-
tablishing a returning board for Louisiana,
and the question has been raised whether
the board has the right to canvass the
election returns. In the mean time the re
turns shows that five Tilden electors have
over 5000 majority, while two have over
1000. What the result will be can hardly
be foretold. If honesty is permitted to
rule, the electoral vote of louisiana will
certainly be cast for Mr.. Tilden, but, as in
Florida, if the Executive assumes the right
to decide the result it may be otherwise.

BoAsTrUL, belligerent, choleric-so-called
assertions of what the triumphant De-
mocracy will do in the way Of Furnishing
foes and expelling enemies are not uncom-
mon in the weaker and unthinking class of
Southern newspapers. Already the New
York Tjmes's specials from Texas contain
extracts from papers represented to BE-
leading journals Of Texas" 1t Is shown,
the editor says, by these dispatches that the
Inauguration of Tilden and restoration Of
Democratic supremacy In the Union win be
the equivalent of the restoration of the
reign of blue cockades, when mems heads

WHETHER the opinion of the once great
but now fallen German railway king be
worth more than that of other people or
not, we can only give it. DR.. Strousberg
says of his fellow-countrymen that:
The German is highly scientific; he deals
largely in principles, and considers himself
much more Intelligent than the people of
other lands. Ny experience teaches me,
however, that, notwithstanding his higher
education, his wider and more comprehen
sive knowledge of his business, and his
greater ability within the narrow range of
his own occupation, the German, in Ger
many, when he gets beyond his range is, in
practical ne alters, absolutely without judg-
ment of his own, and wholly devoid of any
spontaneous enterprise.

The kilograms report that Governor
o,Sarns, of Florida, has decided that the
State returning board has no right to can
vass the election returns, and that power
resides in the Executive alone to declare
what electors have been chosen. The act
creating the board, it seems, does not name
electors, but the Democrats claim that they
are included under State officers. The plot
is we'll laid, aud 1t becomes evi dent thai,
the Governor of Florida will assume any
roe to deny the Democrats the rights they
have received at the ballot-box.

THAT the conversion of Louisiana and
other Southern States from Republicanism
Is perfectly natural, can be proven by facts
as they have occurred lately IN Yazoo
county, Mississippi. In 1870 all the offices
in that county were filed by negroes, and
yet in the late election Tllden received 1874
votes to Hayes's 2. The Republican can
didate for Congress also received only two
votes. The registered vote of the county
is, whites 1887. colored 319S, showing that
the votes fell short of the registration only
about 1000. The two votes cast for Hayes
were by U. 8. Everett and merchant
named Williams, both white.

THE speech-makers of the country were
so anxious to ''orate" that they could not
be suppressed, and in Jefferson as in Dallas
they mad a grand 'tovation." The word
means literally ''sheep-killing" (see una
bridged). In any event those speech-mak-
ers will feel sheepish enough if Tilden be
not President, and ought to be killed.
That he has been elected as fairly as any
man was ever elected in a nesro-voting
community, none doubt, but these torch
light professions and bowling dervish ha-
rangues arc hardly adapted to the terrible
facts impending over us.

WHERE a presidential elector fails to
meet the rest and cast his vote it is lost
unless the States laws authorize the rest of
the electors to fill the vacancy. Three of
the States, it is said, have failed to make
such law, and since TiIden only wants
one vote of an election and the Republicans
may lose one or two, there may arise ques-
tons which Louisiana and Florida cannot
solve. Hayes will certainly lose one vote
in Vermont, because an elector there is a
postmaster, if the laws of Vermont do not
authorize the remaining electors to fill the

A COCK SPARROW of an editor in Texas,
when he rears up behind and before and
rants and raves and threatens and shakes
his little fist at Grant and the North and
immensely, in the foreground too of pic
ture of recent historical events, becomes
extravagantly ridiculous. In arms, in
wealth, in numbers, in the worlds sympa-
thies, che North is infinitely rich and we
are infinitely impoverished. II Tilden have
a fatal weakness it will be discovered in
the fact that his strength was in the South.
The North could endure and accept Tilden
willingly, but he owes his triumph to white
men instead of blacks, the whole white
population of the South having voted for
him. The vapid, senseless rant of these
Southern editors is not only ridiculous but
harmful to the last degree, not only to US
but to Tilden and thus to the whole C oun
try. Northern people, when this Southern
gush is copied by the Times or Tribune, as
crIbe the authorship to some prominent,
influential writer" and thus the South Is
falsely presented TO the country.
Let us say once for all that we do not
propose here in Texas, except in the cape
Ity of quartermasters and commissaries, to
take any hand in the next war, and We
have to add that we deem Mr.. Hayes an
honest patriot and statesman and if the
North can endure his reign, the South, hav-
ing infinitely less at stake, can tolerate him.
In any event it will cost US so much less to
take Hayes and peace than to have war
in order that the ''outs" may be ''ins, "that
we can't afford it, II the North propose to
fight it is their matter and not ours. Our
sake in the controversy is too small. lie

TIE kilograms tell US that the Louisiana

programme as already developed by Gov

THERE is nothing except the force of
public opinion to compel an elector to vote
for Tilden or for Hayes as the people ex-
pect. The people are at the mercy of these
electors who may sell out to Peter Cooper
or to Hayes or Tilden, and there is no
remedy. When Monroe was a candidate
for the presidency Vermont elector named
Piummer betrayed his constituency and
cast his vote for John Quincy Adams.
