The Programmes.

The Republican programme will
doubtless he for the President of the
Senate to invite the House to be pres
ent in the Senase Chamber on the
counting of the vote. The votes W i'll
then be counted as 1876 for Hayes in
cluding the Republican Electors from
Oregon. The President of the Senate
will hold that, under the Constitution,
no business is 10 order; that, as there
are no joint rules, no motions can be
entertained or debate heard, and that
the only duty will be an open count
and "a declaration Of the votes. The
Senate, through the Sergeant-at-Arms,
will see to it that order is preserved.
The vote being declared, Hayes would
be Immediately inaugurated and Presi-
dent Grant would Immediately sur.
render the Government to him. This
appears to be the Republican pro-
gramme, unless it shall be modified BY
the adoption of some compromise
measure as to counting the votes be-
tween the two Houses, which now
seems as impossible as it is improbable.
There does not as yet appear to be a
Democratic programme. The Demo-
Gratis say that it will be- known within
ten days. Those who talk the loudest
declare that the House will withdraw
from the Senate; that it will pass a
resolution declaring that there has
been no election by the Electoral Col
leges; that it will elect Tilden, aud
that Tilden will issue a proclamation
to the army and navy, to the Execu.
tive Departments, and to the people,
demanding recognition and command
ing obedience. Beyond this the most
radical Democrats scarcely venture to
predict what will follow. The present
Democratic policy appears to be to play
the game of blutf-to talk loudly, to
create an uneasy sentiment among the
public, in order to force com mpromise
from the Republicans.

vince him that the reasonable attempts OF
the South to destroy the Union in 1851,
the presence of armed and rufianly clubs
in that section who 60 about seeking whom
they may destroy because of their opinions,

less citizens, whose only otfense Is tne

of making the North unite as one man
against their unrepublican antagonists.
Mr.. Bayard has been burying his talents
for the past ten years. He has rendered
his country and party no service worthy OF
note in the past decade, il, indeed, he ever
has. Instead of attempting to edify his coun-
trymen with doubtful disquisitions upon
State rights, his time would have, been more
proftably employed in thorough tour of
enlightenment of his misguided fellow
citizens of the South. He might have ap-
pealed to them with better grace to re-
nounce their reasonable isms-Ku-
Kluxism, State rightsism, &c.-and
taught them how to love the Constitution
of their common country, and how to ex-
ercise charity toward their Republican
fellow-citizens. Above all things, he
could, with priceless advantage to the
Democracy, have told his Southern friends
that they must cease dealing death-blows
to his party by numbering the new-made
citizens merely because they differ with
them politically. In short, ne might ere
this time have succeeded. in instilling in
them the cornerstone of all true religion
loving their neighbors as themselves. His
neglect to do SO, and the extreme lengths
to which Southern Democrats have carried
their designs, are what have caused the
North to become chary of turning over the
country to .ex Confederate rule, and have
brought about the justly sectional feeling
of distrust which he .pretends he would
fsin avert. Gas you SOW, so shall ye
reap" applies with peculiar force to
statesmen of Mr.. Bayard's stamp, and it

The exhibition of cheek which the above
reflects is truly refreshing. While Mr..
Butler does not need defense at the hands
of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, we must
be excused for lstating that he is in all re-
spects far superior man to George William
Curtis. He is unquestionably man of far
greater ability than the editor of Harper's
Weekly, and greatly surpassed that gentle
man on the score of patriotic devotion to
his country in the hour of its greatest need.
The country has about tired of hearing con-
tumely heaped upon General Butler The
people feel that his splendid oratorical
abilities are sadly needed in the present
dough face House, to counteract the hellish
heresies of such characters as Hill, Tucker,
Sam. Cox and others, and all good Repub-
licans will rejoice to see him pitted against
these worthless in the next Congress. They
deeply regretted that he was not on hand
to reply to the audacious utterances of Hill
when he attempted to fix upon the Repub-
lican party the inhumanities practiced at
Andersonville, and that he was debarred
the privilege of placing hors du combat the
rebellious Tucker, when he asserted as one
of the prerogatives of Virginia the right to
seize and search the United States mails. Iii
natural for rebels to denounce Gen. Butler,
because they never will forgive or forget
him for the peremptory manner in which
he nipped treason In the bud at New Or
leans, and taught the women Of that city
that the uniform of the Federal soldier and
the flag of the Republic were entitled
and should receive respect. Richard
Yeadon, of Charleston, s. c., appreciated
the kind of metal of which he was made
when he offered reward of $50, 900 for
his head during the war. Were Yeadon
now alive he would roll Mr.. Curtis opin-
ion of Butler under his.tongue as he would
sweet morsel.
In many respects we know of no one
who surpasses Mr.. G. W. Curtis in pre-
sumption, but in his present attempt to
dictate to the Republicans of the Lowell
district he surpasses himself - They have
hitherto been able to take very good care
of themselves, and Notwithstanding by
their indifference in 1874 they allowed too
many Democrats to get into Office, they
will now with one accord regard Mr.. Cur
It's admonitions and advice as being alto
gether gratuitous. Mr.. Curtis should con-
fine himself to discussion of the imoral
bankruptcy of Sammy Tilden. He proves
himselfto be an utter failure in attempting
to detract from the well-eaIned reputation
of such an acknowledged Republican as

MR. CURTIS GRATUITIEs.

Mr.. George William Curtis appears to be
never better pleased than when engaged in
throwing mud" at prominent members of
the Republican party. 1t would be almost
unkind to class Mr. Curtis with the genus
sorehead, but it really appears that he har-
bors secret grudge against certain persons
merely because they are more successful
politicians. than himself In recent num-
Der of Hdrpers' Weekly he presents his
readers with rufianly attack upon General
Butler, of Massachusetts, and actually has
the effrontery to compare that gentleman
with the infamous Wade Hampton, of
South Carolina. In speaking of the an.
ticipsted nomination of General Butler for
Congress, he says: HIS nomination
"would Be the same kind of Republican
" "bluDder, although on a different scale, as

IT Is generally, believed that upon the
arrival of ". NJ. Tweed in New York-if
he ever does arrive there-he will instantly
demand free and full pardon from Gov
e-nor Tilden or develop revelations which
will make the "reformer" tremble in his
boots. Noman knows more about Tilden's
Villainies than the "Boss," and no man
knows how to "squeal" more effectually
than does that same individual. 1t is said
that Tweed came near exposing Tilden i'm
mediately after his conviction. and was only
prevented from doing so by the Governors
assurance that his unfortunate" friend
should not be hurt. 1t is boldly asserted
that to satisfy the Boss that he would
not be deserted in the hour of his adversely
Governor Tilden planned and had executed
his escape, designing to secure him free and
absolute pardon after he had been elevated
by such reform work as appeared on the
face of Tweed's trial and conviction. This
affair has now gonei far enough-to make
Tweed regard 1t in the light of the fabled
'tfun" between the boys and the frogs, land
he will doubtless breatheIinto the, ears of
the Governor the littleaicaution which will
secure him his liberty. Governor Cham
berlain, of South Carolina, had similar pro-
ceedings instituted against exTreasurer
Parker, of that State, last year, but Parker
soon became tired of such "fun," and upon
his peremptory demand one Of that ere
formers supple tools-a certain Judge
Mackey-released him on straw bail
Tweed doubtless knows how to accomplish
such ends, and upon his arrival home we
may soon anticipate his release. Both Til
den and Chamberlain have been playing
the role of 'treformers, and it is safe to
assume that the former will not succeed
any better in making capital at the expense
OF his late ally than did Chamberlain in
the Parker case.

BALTIMORE has been noted for years, for
generation, IN fact, as city of ill-repute.
At the beginning of the late war loyal
soldiers were murdered in the streets Of
that city, and eight years ago, when Penn
sylvania voters were passing through it to
vote for General Grant they were dragged
from the cars and threatened with death.
This kind of political intolerance has been
kept up even unto the present writing;
but it's possible, if not probable, that the
respectable citizens of the Monumental
City may yet reclaim it from mob rule.
All that is required to effect this result is q
united effort on the part of the city press.
Perhaps the Gazette will take the lead in
such an attempt

WHERE THE RESPONSIBILITY BELONGS.

Not lorg ago Senator Bayard, of Della
ware, made a public speech, in which he
strongly deprecated the pitting of section
against section, and deplored the attempt
" of the Republican party to array united
" North against a united South" He
said: even from the tomb of Mount Yer
" non comes the warning voice of the
&" great patriot whose ashes there mingle
81 with his native soil, and his countrymen
"are earnestly and most affectionately
" counseled against geographical lines aud
"parties." 1t is quite natural for Mr..
Bayard to thus attempt to befoul the politi
cal waters-cuttlefish like-to the end that
his baffied and discounted party friends
may escape the direful consequences of
their folly, and present some apparent
show of success. A moments reflection
would convince Mr.. Bayard that his Dem
pcratic friends Of the South, together with
uch dough-faces as himself, have CON
Iributed exclusively toward bringing about

TnDEN is still reticent as regards the
charge-suficiently proven-that he is a
periurer and a svindler. OF course, he
has been a swindler as a railroad lawyer;
but with that the American people have but
little to do. However, as a man who
swildled the Government out of his legiti-
mate income tax, he appears in sad
plight in comparison with his competitor,
Gen. Hayes, who not only spilled his blood
for our common country, but always paid
his taxes, both State and national, with
quick precision.

THE year that Tilden defrauded the Gov
eminent of his income tax, the Hoa. E. D.
Morgan, Republican candidate for Cover
nor of New York, paid tax of the same
kind amounting to $4,000. The official
records prove this and in proving it fully
demonstrate the difference between the two
men and the parties they respectively rep
resent. Tilden, Democrat, was not anI-
ious that the war should be carried on to a
successful issue. Gov. Morgan, on the con-
hary, as Republican, fulfilled all his du-
tts as loyal citizen, and aided the Gov
ernment in maintaining its supremacy over
the Southern rebellion. This difference
between these two men illustrates the diff
ference between the two parties to which
they individually belong.

CARL SCHURz has always been noted as
an agitator and theorist-a man, in short

present campaign. He has pretended to
