That there Is a gigantic conspiracy to
cheat the country out of the legitimate
result of the recent election is evinced
in many ways. but in none more plainly
than in the action of the Louisiana re-
turning board, which absolutely refuses
to obey the processes served upon it by
the congressional committee, or to pro-
duce the documents upon which it found
ed its verdict. The board is supported
in this position by Mr.. Stephen A. Hurl-
but. of Illinois. a republican member of
the committee, and is evidently acting
under orders from Washington. This
same board, Wells. Kenner, Anderson
and Cassanave, yielded ready obedience
to the committee from a republican
house, which investigated their acts in
1874. but they hurl defiance al a similar
committee for no other reason than that
it is from a democratic house. The COM
mittee will no doubt see that their orders
are obeyed. If they do not, they are
not the men we take them to be. This
IS a beautiful commentary upon the fair
ness OF their report. Republicans, what
do you think Of it?

The tallest man In all this miserable
political muddIe is Wade Hampton, OF
South Carolina. Counseling peace, urging
moderation, he fights like atigress for her
young. with the law. AS a soldier, he
was a hero; and as a statesman. he is
the landmark to which southerners can
point as the embodiment of their senti-
ments. Engaged in q noble effort to
dlsenthrall a state, for ten years given
up to the domination Of ignorance and
corruption, he has the sympathies and
plandits Of decent people everywhere.
May God bless and prosper him.

summoned forthwith from Jefferson
City to Washington to appear before the
senate committee OF privileges and
elections, and to take with him docu-
ments bearing upon the electoral vote of
Missouri. 1t seems that while the radi-
Gals pretend to deride the acceptance Of
an electoral vote. as in the case of Ore
gon. on account Of the inehgibility Of
n of the electors chosen. that the SEN
ate proposes to try to capture one vote
from Missouri. 1t will not do, gentle
men. The decent republicans of this state
are opposed to having her vote BULLDOG
ed. though they have not up to this time
had the manliness to protest against the
notorious perversion Of the vote of

What does General Grant mean when
he says that in the city of New York
'tthere is a large number of men who
have very little interest either IN the
state or in the republic" Does he mean
that because they are poor, laboring
men they a have no interest in public
affairs? If be does, he mistakes the
spirit OF American institutions, which
does not measure a man manhood by
his possessions, except, we believe. in
the one radical state of Vermont. Does
he mean that they have little interest in
the country because they are ignorant?
Ii he does, he should be the last person
to institute a comparison between his
party and the democratic party, when,
in the opening of his message, he is con-
strained to say:
1T was my fortune, or misfortune, to be
called to the office Of Chief Executive without
any previous political training"
The people have long since ascertain
Cd that ne was supremely ignorant Of
the science of political economy, and his
party is responsible for placing a mar
ignorant of tho nature of his duties at
the head of the nation. If he throws =
stone at New York, which went for
Tilden, he skaters his glass house in
California. where. by the frauds concoct-
in San Francisco, by Morton, who
posted to that city as soon as the Octo-
Der elections convinced him that he could
accomplish nothing in Indiana, that state
was carried ior hayes. Gen. Grant Is
the first man to charge fraud in New
1ork City in the recent election; but in
San Francisco the election was so noto-
rlously corrupt. that it was. for some
time, doubted that the governor would
give the electors certificates without an
investigation. II Gen. Grant means that
democratic party has more ignorance
in its ranks than has its opponent, he
would. find it very hard to make good
MS position. The democratic party. in
the last election, polled one million
majority of the white votes Of the Uni
ted States. Mr.. Mast, in a recent car
upon this subject, entitled by him
''honors are easy" represented the ig-
n9orant republican vote by . negro man
seated in n balance of = scale, and a
white man who, with the usual maleyo-
OF that paper toward the Irish, was
represented with a besotted and beastly
irish face, in the other. So that even
hat journal Of civilization" thinks the
republican party not tree from it's share
ot ignorance.

A great many republican journals are
criticising the condition of Mexico, while
lending their influence to a Nexicaniz-
