EDITORIAL POSTSCRIPT.
Wade and found wanting Is the latest from
8 u b Carolina.
Idlers, loafers, corner-bummers, men with
out visible means of support, except their
legs, are talking wildly about war, provided
the people should attempt the Inauguration Of
Hayes. If there be any justice in human ex-
istence Hayes will be inaugurated. he BY
rights has 219 electoral votes. Still 1S5 are
sufficient for all practicable purposes.
There are no traitors, no revo!utionists, no
secessionists in the Republican party. While
the hot-beads of the Democracy are counseling
armed resistance to the inaugurationof Hayes
not q word of hostile sentiment has escaped
the lips of an intelligent Republican the land
over. They are quiet and calm, but under
meath that quietude and calmness there is
firm determination to inaugurate the man who
is honestly elected. TT ;sr0E ag5Tsro5 os bsoa
Amidst the confusion and intense excitement
attendant upos the great suspense the iutelli-
gent American to night can 'wrsp the drapery
of his couch about Elm and lie down to pleas
ant dreams" conscious of the fact that we
have Q man at the helm of the ship Of state
who will crush riot or rebellion wherever and
whenever found. The man who said /" let us
have peace" will secure 1t at all hazards.
awe viii have Tlden or fight" exclaimed
an irate Democrat on the Avenue yesterday.
'sTake him." said an old white haired pa
triarch, stake him, for nobody else wants
him. He Is in the market now, for Miss Lillian
Morse has relinquished her claims on him.
George Francis Train don't want him, neither
does DR.. Mary Walker nor Susan B. nor do
the dear people. Nobody wants him, I say,
because he wants one electoral vote of being
President" . e....- -.- ID. ......
Three bundled and eight cats were placed
on exhibition at the crystal palace In England
q few days since. Prizes to the amount Of
G120 were distributed among them. This
remarkable concatination included some re-
markable specimens of cats. Ore named
Little Brownie, q skort-hsired feminine tabby,
aged three years, was valued at e25,0 900.
Only S125, 900 for q feline with an aristocratic
lineage extending back as far as that of the
ancient Cataline. Such undervaluation of
mar kat able property will result in q finan-
cial catastrophe.
Had our waste basket been as gaunt AMI
hungry as Tilden's famous wolf, we could
never have placed the following epistle into
its capacious maws: ..-. ...
.. yAssAR COLLEGE, Nov. q.
To The Editor of the National Republican:
SIR The political complexion of this insti-
tuition is decidedly Republican. There are 175
for Hayes, 40 for Tildep, for Peter Cooper
and one for General jackson, dead or alive.
The other evening the It's Hayes girls took q
suit Of clothes belonging to q man servant,
stuffed It with straw, named It Samuel j. TIL
den, and then burned 1t In efigy. We felt
justified in committing this act for the reason
that q man who has been willing TO travel
life's pathway for sixty years with $4,000 900
In his pocket and never offer to divide his joys
and sorrows with wife never ought to have
anything to do with the Goddess of Liberty in
Presidential capacity. A bachelor should
never be President. A man who has never
loved noble woman should never rule q na-
ton. man who never felt the kindly i'm
pulses of father until he adopted Hendricks
rag baby Is unworthy the homage Of 8 pro-
gressiye people. b ~ " t.sz . .H.

The following is description published in
the Philadelphia Times Of the leading lights Of
the Democracy as they are seen calling at the
home Of Governor Tlden In Grammercy Park:
"And now as the Nlden star fickers the
warriors who have fought the battles Of the
campaign and the great lights of the party are
gathered at his side. The massive Gwin, with
his snoW-crowped head, towers far above the
delicate physique OF Uncle Sammy. The
Golden State went against him, but it WAS
tbror1 of tha Gnrta .
and right brayely did he fight the Tilden bat
ties. Little Mack comes In to hear the
latest dispatches. With the memory of
wrongs that must even yet be fresh in his
mind be can sincerely extend his hand in
sympathy to the man who may also become q
party victim. Fernando Wood appears. like
mountain glacier, and strikes an attitude OF
stately stiffness, and behind him comes Mag
pie. Cox, in one of his merry, 5oyish moods.
The two Sammies stand side by side, but the
Congressman who swept his district is liyelier
far than the man who governs US State and
aspires to the White House. Sammy Cox has
fallen into the way of going to Congress, and
like other bad habits that grow upon one, he
cannot break off from II now. Ward, who has
sworn off from Congress, bears down upon the
admiring throng in stately majesty, aud beams
benignly upon the Governor, In conscious ele-
gance. The grand WIckham stalks across the
scene, and Ely quietly wanders In, smiling
ana DEVIOUS Oenta u the HelgnL Ol nls DeW
honors, Dut possessed of pleasing, unobtru-
sIve dignity and cheerfulness that wins him
many friends. Belmont takes Tilden by the
hand, and not far behind him appears the
smiling face of Schell. Algernon 5. Sullivan
looks in TO give Tilden q cheering, cordial
greeting, and the polished Marble waits to
take q ride with the man who was his chosen
candidate. The dignifed Herman enters;
anon comes the sharp-eyed Barnum, followed
BY Hewitt, the great chairman Of them all"
But as the correspondent looketh about aud
peereth in upon the scene and noteth the In
comers he seeth not the tax, Deither does he
witness the approach of the one electoral vote
which Samuel needs for his election.
