the State within whose borders Lafay-

Americans to achieve selfgovernmcnt.
And they are happening there, why ?
Because respectable men in the North
hold their alliance to the Republican
party more sacred than their allegiance
to the law, and dread the triumph Of
Democracy more than the ruin of the
national credit, the degradation Of the
American name and the overthrow OF
free Government.

A TEMPORARY VIcroRY.-Grant and
two of the members of his Cabinet,
have partly accomplished their damna-
bic undertaking. They have SO ma
nipulsted tho Returning Boards in the
three disputed Southern States, as to
count tho Electors for Hayes. In
Louisiana, where the Democratic ma.
jority, at the lowest estimate, is not
less than 5000, the Board threw out
the returns Of seventeen Democratic
counties, or parishes, as they are call.
cd, and then declared the Hayes Elec
tors elected by 4,0s0 majority. In
Florida, whers all parties conceded
that the Democratic majority was not
less than 1900, the Board excluded the
votes from Democratic counties 80 as
to give the Hayes Electors $50 major
ity. In South Carolina they carried
out the same programme. As Con-
grcss has sent q committee TO each of
these States, for the purpose Of looking
into the crimes indicated, IL would be
proper TO await their verdict and see
who Is lying.

Board OF South Carolina is State body,
solely answerable to State laws and

Judge to Columbia, with "tbe army

be necessary to cheat Hayes into Office,
or make Grant military dictator, while
Brag Sherman and Banditii Sheridan

Examining the law under which the

Judge Black finds their procedure AZ

The power TO choose President wher
there has been no constitutional elec

THE THREE "C'S."


Cameron, Chandler and Chamber.
lain undertook the job of bull.dozing
the people OF the United States for the
purpose Of making Hayes President
and Chamberlain Governor OF South
Carolina, although the people did not
want either Of them, and actually vot-
ed against them by large majoritics.
The three "C's' having been foiled in
their attempt, are now resorting to
still more revolutionary and illegal
measures to gain their ends, and in do
ing so have got Grant in about as tight
place as ever ruler had himself
screwed into by his friends. Impeach-
ment and enduring disgrace now stares
the President and those three outlaws
in the face. The whole four have
earned the scvcrest punishment that a
people can lnhict upon wicked rulers,
and tor example, only, We want TO see
these ungodly men punished, in order
to warn other wicked men whose views
may run in similar channel. The
complete overthrow OF the State Gov
crnment of South Carolina by those
four men, ably assisted by Gen Ruger,
is enough to send the whole crew into
exile, without compiling list of other
crimes which they have committed,
"too numerous to mention" We re-
joice that the 4th of March is close at
hand, SO that our afflicted country can
rid itself, in n Constitutional way, of
the ungodly crew that. has robbed and
well nigh destroyed ii, II this peacca-
bic method fails to do it, revolution
must follow. Bad men and their con
federates must be punished, so that
liberty and Constitutional Government
NAV survive on this Continent.

Cooper is but 1901. rhe Democrats
