HOW TT SHALL BE BURIED.

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
After the close of all great revolution
airy wars, like ours in America a few
years ago, majority of the political
scum always get into power, and for a
few years, while they hold the sway,
corruption and misrule ride rough-sho
over all governmental affairs. Conse-
quently, the 7th of November, 1876, will
long be remembered as the day in which
the death blow was given to Radicalism
in the United States. The day is now
dawning. Dishonest officials are begin
ing to quake Honest men are looking
up, and many of the less informed of the
dying party, who were sincere in their
convictions relative to the course they
have pursued ever since the war closed,
gratitude when they begin to see and
feel the beneficial effects of the govern
ment once more administered by honest,
impartial statesman. The name of the
Radical party may still live for few
years in some of the Northern States.
but all hopes OF majority OF the dying
party ever getting into power again in
the South is forever settled, and the 4th
day of March, 1877, is the day fixed for
its burial, which propose should be as
follows: After giving a cordial invitation
to every honest Radical to assist, we will
take all the abandoned iron clad vessels
in the United States for its coffin 1.-the
lightnings of heaven for its winding
sheet we will bury it at the North pole,
where the bowling four winds of heaven
will sing it's last sad requiemI: then over
the grave we will place monument,
and on it, with letters of bold relief, we
will write this inscription
Beneath this sketch there lies wretch,
Who ne'er done aught but bad
And when he died Creation cried,
I'm glad I'm glad I'm glad f! !"

ET4RTs ON THE COMPLICATION

1t was only little over a year
ago that Mr.. Evarts painted the
present in the following graphic
language. 1t is none the less true
that he gave his aid to bring it
about January II, 1875. Mr. Ev-
arts said:
Suppose that this Intervention of
military power to protect the action of
an independent State authority should
happen to be exerted in Louisiana or
any of the States for the purpose of tax
ing out the majority of an Electoral
College when they were choosing the
President or suppose that IF By sUbrerting
the c0te Of that State one man should be chosen
instead of the other, gct0 1cOuLd hdCe been

what has happened and what will
happen. We can foretell the issue.
1t is party struggling for power to
which it is not entitled which a large
majority Of the people have said
should not longer bear sway to rule
over us. 1t is the peoples struggle
for the right to administer the Gov
ernment in their own way, through
their own chosen agents. We can
see no room there for compromise.
To this we are brought by the poll
cy which inaugurated itself with de-
claring Let us have peace.

Here is another assurance OF Tilden's
triumph regardless of the desperation
to which his enemies are driven. From
the dispatches we copy below to the
Nashville Banner it will be seen there
was Republican split in one district in
Louisiana, whereby five Republican cleo
tors fall largely behind the vote of their
party, thus probably insuring the cleo
tion of five Democratic electors, and in
surfing Tilden's election, even if Florida
should go against him, which we do not
believe:
CINCINNATI, Nov. 1S.-Thc Democrats
now believe that the end of the agony
is near at hand. They are again jubil-
ant, and the Republicans are correspond
ingly distressed. The Enquirer heads
the news Got EN-" and the CONNER
ciaI, which has been confident for Hayes,
heads its columns ''Grave Doubts" and
another headline is, 1.-The Republican
Estimates of Bull-dozing Overdrawn."
New ORLEANS, Nov. 18.-It appears
that there was a split among the Repub-
licans in the Fifth district of this State,
consisting of the parishes of IbervIlle,
Iberia, ST. Martins, Concordia and West
Baton Rouge, at the last election, and
each fraction ian a separate electoral
ticket. One of these tickets contained
only the names of the electors at large
of the State and of the elector for this
district, emitting the names OF the other
five. The result was that five OF the lie
publican electors ran nearly 5000 be.
hind the vote of the party in the State
and this elects five of the Democratic
electors of the State in spite of fate
The Republicans are in despair over this
discovery, and have sent for Chief Jus
tice Ludeiing to see if he won't decide
that as the tickets were headed Hayes
and Wheeler, the names omitted shall bC
counted just as if they had been printed
on the tickets. The claim that this car
be done legally is a preposterous one
and would not be sustained moment IT
other States; but Louisiana is a peculiar
sovereignty, and its customs still moro
singular. Gov. Curtin, Geo. w. Jones
Judge Stallo and Democrats here, think
this is decisive, and that it will settle the
State of Louisiana despite the rascality
of the Returning Board, as they canno
then turn out the vote of these parishes
| as they all gave Republican majoritieI
despite the split spoken of.
New YORK, Nov. 10, noon.-There il

Florida or South Carolina, but the Dem
ocrats are everywhere to-day reported il

Maj. O'Conner returned from New
Orleans last night. Gen. Manson
and Gen. Love, Of Indiana, also
passed mp the road on their return
to Indiana. These gentlemen are
thoroughly satisfied that it is the
settled purpose of the Radical Re-
turning Board of Louisiana to reject
the votes Of enough parishes to give
the vote of the State to Hayes, and

facts should prove that Tilden car
ried the State.

An Unfortunate Affair in Cooke

We learn that Mr. O'Brien, an Irish
man, living near Newport, Cooke coun-
ty, was killed last Wednesday night by
his brother-in-law, Mr. Murphy, under
the following circumstances O'RFien
and Murphy occupied tho same house
with their families. Wednesday night
OsBrien came home drunk and began to
abuse his wife; and finally seized an axe
and attempted to strike her with it, but
the axe was taken from him by Murphy,
who for the further protection of the
wife determined to tie O'Brien's arms
SO that he could do no damage To nc
complish this, he tackled O'BrIen and
after stout wrestle succeeded In throw
ing him to the floor. In the fall o 'Brien's
head struck on q ehild's crib in the
room, and the drunken man was secure
ly tied before 1t was known that he was
injured by the fall. His quietness at
;racted attention, and an examination
revealed the fearful fact that he was ap-
parently dead. Medical aid was irnme-
diately summoned, but only came to de I.
clare O'Brien corpse, caused by the
breaking of his neck in the fall. Our
informant says that public opinion SYM
pathizes with Murphy In the sad result

unfortunate death. Murphy is studying
for the Catholic ministry and has no
family, but was living with his brother
in-law, O'Brien, when the fatal accident
occurred.
