sis there any fair-minded man" asks DR..
Bellows, "who does not now suspect that
the difficulties in South Carolina and Louisi-
ana are inherent, and incurable by any
action of the Central Government? - In
his opinion these difficulties proceed from
the predominance Of the negro vote. 1t is
a misfortune, he thinks, that those States
are at the political mercy OF horde Of re-
cent slaves, still uneducated and barely
civilized. He sees parallel case in the un-
rest OF the better society OF the metropolis,
over the political rule OF her largely I'M
taught and undisciplined foreign element.
To him sudden emancipation was a dread
fnlremedy for an evil which threatened the
national existence. Once freed it was ne
cessary to clothe the slave with citizenship.
He could understand why white southerners
were i'll at ease under the rule OF their re-
cent slaves. But the Constitution and the
fundamental law could not be set aside.
After so much sacrifice the people could not
and would not go back from their costly
record q .ts1sH:i 2i'i.stE ~ Fiji.

The PARTY Administration.

The telegram from Washington publish
ed by Us yesterday stated that the day be-
fore, the question Of ineligible electors in the
cases OF Vermont and Oregon was discuss
ed by the Cabinet. And what had they to
do with it? Can any one imagine that
JEFFERSON, MADISON, or MONROE, or any
President of the United States before the
war, would have permitted discussion upon
such a subject in Cabinet meeting? a Cabi-
net meeting is not court OF judges, but
meeting of executive officers whose duty it
is to execute the laws where they have iuris-
diction and to consider the policy Of the
Government and the general welfare in mat
tiers coming within their province. They
have no more right to discuss when in ses-
sion things with regard to which they have
no authority than has the Supreme Court.
~ This discussion is another glaring sign OF
the purely partisan nature OF the Admins
.tration. GRANT and his advisers have as
sumed supervisory authority over the cleo
tions, and this discussion as to electors dis
qualified is amongst the least outrageous of
their acts. Having~sent soldiers to superin-
tend the counting Of votes in the South,
and plainly to protect the Radical return
ing boards in their rascalities, it is compara-
lively small matter for them to consider
how they shall mend the case OF the dis
qualification Of the electors by reason Of
their holding Federal offices. -
The Administration is avowedly and
shamelessly partisan, and the people Of the
North will aSsuredly now learn the fact by
usurpation that will reach and injure
them. Heretofore the villainies of.the car
pet-bag thieves, assisted and defended by
the Federal Administration, have almost ex-
clusively oppressed the South, and the
North has not been very indignant thereat;
but now these villainies are to be brought
to the direct knowledge OF the people Of the
whole nation. We shall see what effect it
will have, and also what they are going to
do about it.
There is enough in the open and brazen-
faced partisanship Of the sordid and vulgar
Administration now ruling public affairs
enough in its infamous employment OF the
power OF the Government, its means, and
its troops, to maintain Radical rule and pro-
long the hold Of party upon the Govern
ment-to create q popular frenzy. M
We are making history, and we shall see
what sort Of chapter that Is which is about
to be sent to the printers.

WHAT GOVERNOR TILDEN S4YS.-The New
York correspondent OF the Philadelphia
Ledger writes:
"Governor Tiden is said to have been
with reference to New Or
leans dispatch in one OF the morning papers
to the effect that Congressman Watterson
had proposed that he cTilden) ana GoYern a,' !
HAYES should each select five men, OF the
character Of Eyarts and Adams, to supervise
the count of the Returning Board, agreeing
to be ruled by the decision OF the commit
tee. Mr.. Tilden is understood to have re-
piled that he has no faith in any such de-
vices, and as much as intimates that exist
ing complications will only be aggravated
by additional outside meddling. There is
but one decision that can be abided by, and
that is the will of the people rs expressed at
the ballot-box, and he will be party to no
arrangement that looks like bargaining that
away" .a.lsr,a,i r..E. .3'itF I IL -

thank God, continually" said a good, OLD
citizen Yesterday, "that it is not now a
question OF North and South, and cannot be
made such" A grand iolIiication had been
appointed for Thursday tomorrow night,
but believe there is some disposition now
to forego even that indulgence; "although,"
said one OF the leaders, sit is matter for
whole-souled congratulation that we have
carried majority Of the States, majority
Of the electoral votes, and majority OF the
American people"
1t is a common remark now that the state
of suspense in which we are kept Is very

On Thursday, as Mir. George Harrison was throwing hay from one of his mows Tn his barn on Dibbie Hill, to fodder his cattle, his fork struck something hard, and, upon removing the hay some two feet below the surface of the now, he discovered the body of Newton Cogswell who shot his wife on the 3lst of Dec. As there is no reason to doubt that his death occnrrd about that time the onely proof of its identity was the clothing and the picture of his wife hich was found in his pocket. An inquest was held on the remains which were buried on Friday. The night on which he shot his wife, after committing the deed, he returned to his fathers honse. and said that he had shot Mary but was not going to be hung for it either, and that his body would be found in Harrison's ba n. He changed his boots, took what opium he could find in the house and left. The next morning, the authorities tracked him to this barn but were unable to find him. .

The third term of the Wilsonian Univer- sity closed on Friday last. Fhe examina- ton was held Thursday afternoon, and Fri day evening their exercises drew the largest crowd to the chapel that it has ever held. A very fattering compliment was paid them by NJ. Beers and Sons who closed their store during the evening. This re- markable phenomenon has not occurred before Tn a long time and is universally admired. The exercises consisted of music (new pieces procured for the occa- sion,) dialogues. charades. tableaux, statues, and essays.
 ''phe Gipies Warning" was very pretty; "Waiting for the Trains," very ludicrous; and "Leap Year Wooing," the most in- structive of any of the dialogues.
