New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-11-19
SOUTH CAROLINA.

The Democrats at the st. Charles Hotel
were unnecessarily excited on Friday
night over their special dispatches from
South Carolina. They either in ignorance
or design construed an auxiliary order of
the Supreme Court into final decree, and
elected Hampton and Tilden for about
the one hundredth time since the election.
This is mistake. The telegraph informs
us 'the Supreme Court has decided
nothing" The auxiliary or intermediary
order is intended merely as dissolution
of the injunction against proceeding with
the count of votes until the rule for
mandamus could be heard. The court
has directed the Board of Canvassers to
proceed with the clerical work of count
ing and aggregating the vote, and to limit
themselves, for the present, to ministerial
work. 1t is probable that the object of
this order is to avoid delay and any con-
sequent legal disability likely to arise
from it.
Inc question, therefore, remains in
nearly the same condition it was in when
taken into court. No orders have come
from that tribunal as yet which interfere
with the Board Of Canvassers, or are likely
to bring much encouragement to the
hungry Democratic Office seekers who are
at present scanning the political horizon
with anxious eyes for another Tilden elec-
tor on any terms

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-11-19

The Northern Democrats allege in their
latest epistle to the Republicans that the
returns of the present Returning Board
''were set aside by congressional COM
mittee." The only important considera-
ton in connection with this assertion is
the apparent approval with which the
Northern Democrats regard such an abro-
cation OF State rights as setting aside of
the returns by congressional authority
would be. It is not true that the Wheeler
Frye committee set aside the election re-
turns, as stated. though some sort of an
arrangement, called . compromise, was
brought about through the personal ad-
vice of Messrs. Wheeler and Frye. Mr..
Wheeler was not the chairman Of any COM
mittee that visited New Orleans. The
compromise was made between the Re-
publican State government, represented
by Governor Kellogg and the Senate on
one side, and the Democratic committee,
supplemented by the Deutsh company
members of the House on tie other. No
congressional committee, as such, had
anything to do with it.

THEY ARE NOT ALL POLITICIANS.

Among the gentlemen who have visited
New Orleans for the purpose of ascertain
ing the actual condition of affairs, and
observing the local manner in which our
political contests are conducted and de-
cided, there are many who avail them
selves of the occasion to inquire how a
country Of such unparalleled industrial
salGentages should be SO dependent upon
the dpital and labor Of countries physi-
cally fafpoorer than itself.
There is one of these visitors especially
devoted to the industrial and financial
welfare of the whole country. It is Hon.
W. D. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, who has
been for so many years member Of Con-
gress, and who will, no doubt, examine
the grounds upon which Louisiana has
based her most important requests for
Federal aid. Mr.. Kelley has stood for
years past Is the champion of the pro-
tective system. He has succeeded to the
balm vhen Henry OIay had bssn con-

sELF.HELP.

ASA-AAASASS'
No help is so satisfactory as self-help,
and the triumph of achievement is never
so deeply felt as when accompanied by a
consciousness that the victor drew on his
own resources, and thus mastered the cir
cumstances which most seriously threat
ened him. Only the wagoners who put
their shoulders to the wheel can expect
help of Hercules. Those who bemoan
their fate with idle lamentations, and
pray relief without such vitalizing efforts
as evince determination to succeed, need
not be surprised at their own discomfit-
ure Though self-reliant effort may not
always achieve success, it certainly fur
nishes the only coin which passes current
where the prizes of high attainment are
awarded.
But self-help, though born of self-re-
lance, requires as a condition precedent
to success q certain natural or acquired
aptitude, without which the most heroic
efforts would be vain. Where the shout
der is not fitted to the burden the weight
of the burden is increased. Hence it
happens that throughout our great South
ern communities there are to be found
thousands of men and women who, re-
duced at once from affluence to Indulgence,
have been forced, through unaccustomed
efforts, to struggle for the bare necessities
of life. Many have met the difficulties of
the situation bravely; but their lack of
experience, and utter. ignorance in all
matters wherein self-help is most essen
tial, forced upon them new disappoint-
ments and added gall to their cup of Bit
terness. This has been particularly the
case among the necesaitous Of the gen.
tier sex. Ladies who had been taught to
consider themselves Of the superior race,
and to regard labor as the special badge Of
slavery, were terribly disappointed Of the
discovery Of their own helplssmsss and
humiliatsd BY the fet that thsir former

THEN AND NOW.

It does no harm to occasionally remind
the public that the denunciation of the
election law SO freely INDUCED in at pres
emit comes from the same source as the
demonstrations of approval and joy of
four years since. Then it was grand
stroke of policy on the part of Governor
Warmoth, an act of craftsmanship show
ing him worthy of the high honor of
United States Senator, to be conferred at
their hands when everything was fixed,
and redeemed the disadvantage of having
the Returning Board under the old law
constructed under that instead of the
eternal Democratic fitness of things. It
had been pushed through the Legislature
nine months before as a measure that
would satisfy the Democracy, and was
denounced by Republicans in that body.
All these things gave hope to the Demo-
cratic law loving, but not law abiding,
citizen, and when, after it's period of
CESSATION and three days parturition, it
emerged full fledged from the Governors
pocket the enthusiasm was contagious.
It was supposed that it would not only
annihilate the Lynch-Hawkins board and
render the contest between it and the Da
Ponte-Hatch board useless, and the latter
unnecessary, but utterly destroy the juris-
diction of the United States court. Judge
Durell was regarded with indifference,
and application for positions under Gov
ernor McEnery were made in sufficient
Quantities to make that gentleman's life q
burden. But when Judge Durell briefly
considered the law - er post tdoto. 20 far

OUR TUTORS.

Impotence is q prominent feature in
the Democratic makeup. Not only is
this true of our own local politicians OF
that stripe, but we discover it also crop
ping out from nearly every sentence writ
ten by the little band convened here by
Hewitt For instance, in their last reply
to the Republicans they throw out this
slur upon "this community"
We had supposed that it was not improper
for us to remind the authorities of this
State, by our mere presence at least. that
there are certain rules of fairness and jus.
tice which underlie all constitutions and
laws, and upon whose Observance must de-
pend the scquiescence of the people of all
parties in the declared result Of the Louis
lana election.
If the tremendous presence" of these
embryo postmasters, foreign ministers,
consuls, marshals, ETC., under Tilden, has
failed to remind the ''authorities of this
State" ''that there are certain rules" etc.,
it must be owing to the general obtuse-
ness of the authorities. We hope Gov
ernor Wells, General Anderson and their
colleagues of the Returning Board will
take due notice of the overpowering
presence" now quartered at the St.
Charles Hotel for the purpose: First, to
show by their coming here distrust of
the action OF the board, and second, to
tone tho members up to as high condi-
ton of political virtue as possible.
Whatever may have been the motives
of the Democrats in coming here, whether
to watch the Returning Board or to make
suggestions to the State Democratic Com
mittee, We do not concede that the Re-
publicans here came for the purpose of
casting slur upon the character of the
officials of this State. 1t is barely pos
sible they may have distrusted the ability
of the local Republicans to circumvent
Democratic cunning; but since many of
them left the city after very brief stay,
it is probable their fears, if any they had,
have been removed. In their single COM
munication to the Democrats these gen.
tlemen express full confidence in the
fidelity and ability of the returning off,
GERS, and admonish their correspondents
that neither set of distinguished visitors
have any clearly defined duties to perform
here at all. Perhaps it will be as we'll for
the Democrats to come to the same con-
clusion. and presume that their presence
or some other fortuitous circumstance has
inoculated our Returning Board with vlr-
tue enough to last them through the pres
ent crisis.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-11-19

oided that the Governor could not destroy
tho effect Of the vote Of the people BY re-
pealing the law they had acted under IN
good faith seventeen days before tho date
of approval; and further, by careful re-
view Of the evidence, found the prepon-
derance of testimony in favor OF tho Haw-
kins-Lynch board, their indignation
knew no bounds.
Il was on Judge Durel that they en-
deavored to vent their spleen. Their
praise of the new law was too recent to be
retracted. Not word was said against
it till all possibility of obtaining Demo-
cratic Governor and Democratic Senate
to elect the board was gone. Then it
was the personnel of the board that first
received the attack. It was too Repub-
lican. Hang them! was q popular idea,
and possibly had the worst come to the
worst our ever-pleasant Democratic friend
Arroyo might have suffered martyrdom by
mistake.
Later, the law, no chance appearing for
Democratic manipulation under it, be-
came sinfamous," and this has been the
favorite word ever since. It never ap-
pears to have been very carefully studied
by the attorneys, however, and our visit
ors have been astonished, first, by finding
that they could obtain no information on
it; and, second, that the Democratic
House of Representatives have made no
attempt to repeal it. A suggestion that
these gentlemen supposed the next board
would be entirely Democratic explains
that.
Now the denunciation is against both
the law and the officers under it, but the
sole reason is that the latter are not
Democrats. The law was good enough in
1872; it would have been so in 1874 with
Republican returning officers in the mi
nority; it would be still better in 1876
under the same conditions. But past ex-
perience has demonstrated that it is
good low, one in the right place and one
that could not be sacrificed in q State to
satisfy those who have endeavored to
carry the election by breaking it.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-11-19

about hfty times : day since tho election.
We have read In stunning headlines the
narrowing announcement ''Tilden's Elec-
ton Conceded" and some powder has
been burned, and . lafge amount of mean
whisky has been consumed, to clinch tho
false assertion.
No responsible Republican authority
in the United States has made any con.
cession on the subject, :and the news from
South Corolina and Florida indicates that
the nation has narrowly but safely es-
capped the great affection that would re-
suit from the capture of the Union by the
Confederate and Copperhead Democracy.
The fate of the country appears to be in
the hands of the boards of canvassers of
the States of Louisiana, Florida and
South Carolina. In the last named State
the result has been already proclaimed,
and there is little doubt it will stand as
finality. Florida and Louisiana may be
expected to follow in few days. It is
about time, in view of these facts, for our
local gossips to let up on claiming VIC
tory for Tilden by concession. Nothing
has been conceded. nor will anything be,
except what can be fairly shown by the
count.
