The Awful Calamity.

The most terrible calamity that ha;
occurred in the United States for many
| years was the destruction of the
Brooklyn Theatre by fire, in which
three hundred and fifty human beings
lost their lives in d few moments, and
full account of which publish Oh the
first and second pages Of this paper.
1t brought 10 mind the burning of the
Richmond theatre many years rgo.
Whole families persisted, including
the wealthy, intelligent and fashiona-
Bile. The terrible loss of life was not
so much due to the panic as TO the ma
terial Of the ceiling which was cloth
saturated with oil paints.
The funeral Of many victims took
place Sunday. The city was draped
in Grape. All OF the bells of the city
tolled mournfully as the long cortege Of
hundred hearscs wound their black
lengths along to the deep wide trench
were in one common grave the victims
were laid to rest.

Buying Electors for Tilden.

Failing TO secure a solid South by
bull-dozing, before and at election,
bribery was resorted to after the close
of the ballot boxes. One clector in
South Carolina was offered 100000,
with $4,000 put up as forfeit if he
would vote blank ticket in the Elec-
toral College, thereby cheating Hayes.
Another Elector in Louisiana was of
fered 100000 to vote for Tilden. This
was two days before the meeting OF
the electors aud was disclosed TO the
United States Marshal by the man who
was to have been the victim. He was
advised to appear pliable so as to dis
cover The hackers. Ii was done and
the whole transaction backed by affida-
vites will be brought tG light and be
ready for use should the Democratic
party claim Tilden's election. Five
hundred thousand dollars was sent
from New York TO control the cleo
tors. Poor Tilden. poor Morrisey y

All There Ia TO II.

Continually we are met with the
question from earnest Republicans,
"Wcll, how viii the Presidential ques-
ton come out 2" We venture this
opinion: There will be an immediate
and thorough examination into the
south, by which all the bull-dozing
intimidation and other tricks reserted
to by the opposite party will be thor
oughly exposed. As soon as the Re-
publican party-by party we mean the
people of the United States who be-
lieve in Republican principles-are
convinced that the electoral vote of
Florida, Louisiana and South Caro-
lima belongs to Hayes, then the whole
matter will be virtually settled. The
little fraud in Oregon-which the
Democrats acknowledge to be trick
will cut no figure whatever. 1t will
not be six weeks before the whole
country will acknowledge the election
of Hayes. Republicans once satisfied
that he is entitled to the seat the ques-
ton is settled.

President Grant Interviewed

Mr.. Hewitt, the chairman of tht
National Democratic committee and
the right hand man of Samuel j. Ill
den had long interview with General
Grant, last week. Hewitt declare;
that he has no right to repeat the sub
stance of the conversation, but he says
he is free to say that he has no words
but of praise for the President and
that in his opinion Gen. Grant has no
intention of doing any wrong, or OF
permitting any wrong as far as the
Presidential question is concerned.
We don't suppose Grant cares partic-
ularly for the opinions just now of any
one, but still it is refreshing to hear
such partisans as the notorious Hewitt
declaring that he can find nothing
against the Democratic Caezar.

Bull-Dozers Did It.

In six counties of Georgia not sin.
gle Republican vote for President is
returned. In the county of Lowndes,
Miss, which has always been good fol
!, 800 Republican majority, there was
not Republican vote. In the county
of Yakoo, in the same State, the Re,
publican majority of 1000 was reduced
TO two votes. Another Republican
county showed just thirteen votes for
HAYES. In Feliciana, Louisiana, which
has 1900 Republican majority; only
three Republican votes are returned.
OF course such results can only be ex-
planned in one way. Bulldozing did
it. And why shouldn't Tilden, with
such means, have popular major

Governor Chamberlain Inauguratad.

Gov. Chamberlain took the oath OF
Office as Governor of South Carolina,
in the State House, before Probate
Judge Boone, on the 18th joint reso-
luton repeating The law that the oath
should be taken before the Chief JUS
ticc or Associate Justice having passed
previously. The Inauguration was
over before il was known in the city.
Only the parties admitted by the au-
thorities witnessed the ceremony. A
company of troops was stationed in
the lower corridor, and the constabu-
larly guarded the entrances. The cere-
mony over, Governor Chamberlain
then delivered his inaugural, which is
patriotic TO the last degree. He coun-
sells peace, in fact guarantees it.

Ths Presidential Situation.


The EAGLES special of last week
announced the fact TO its readers that
Florida and Louisiana had both gone
Republican, electing General Hayes,
but that the Democrats were attempt
ing 10 pick up vote somewhere in
the northern States. Our dispatch
was very correct. Louisiana went
Republican by about 1900 majority,
and Florida little less. The vote
that the Democrats tried TO secure
was in Oregon. That State went Re-
publican by an undisputed majority
of 1900, but Que of the Republican
electors had been postmaster. The
Democratic Governor of Oregon for
that reason attempted to count him
out, Issuing the certificate to a Demo-
crat by the name of Cronin, who pro-
cccded TO the room where the Repub-
lican electors had met and demanded
ayote. When asked for his authority
he refused TO show any,only fiourished
about an evelope, which he said COLI
tanned his certificate of election. Of
course the electoral board refused TO
recognize him, whcreapon he with
drew, and choosing two Democrats to
act with him, cast the vote of Oregon.
The Republican board accepted the
resignation of the ciector who had
been postmaster, and then reelected
him to Gil the board, when the State
was voted for Hayes, liz accordance
with the declaration of the people of
that State.
The great Democratic hurrah in
Wichita and elsewhere last Friday
was based on the above action. 1t did
not disturb the Republicans, in the
least, they knowing full well that the
will of a whole State could not be de-
feated by so fiimsy and open-handed a
fraud.
The indignation Of the people of
Oregon last Saturday reached the
fever heat. Grover, the Governor,
was burned in efligy upon the streets
of Portland, and they have asked the
United States Senate not TO admit him
TO that body, to which he has been
elected.
The Republican electors, after cast
ing their votes and making out certi-
fed lists, obtained atra.script OF the
vote OF the State, as returned to the |
Secretary of State, which, under the
great seal of Oregon, was Transmitted |
with their vote TO Washington.
Under such state Of facts there
will be no possible chance for the
fraud TO succeed. In fact, the more
respectable Democratic journals hard
ly allude to it. The unwarranted ac-
ton of the foolish Governor of Ore
gon viii cut no figure in counting the
vote for President.

Senator Sherman and The Southern ROcrbs.ks.

While Gen. Sherman was in Louis
lana looking after the interests of the
nation, he was continually misrepre-
scented by partizan associate press
agents. At one time the whole north
were made to believe that Sherman
had lost faith in the honesty of the re-
turning board, indeed, he had gone so
far as to openly denounce its proceed
ings. Now, what are the fac s! Since
his return north he comes out over his
own signature and says that all the
representations are a pack Of absolute
falsehoods, that the returning board
was in no particular crooked and that
their entire work was square, honest
and above all cayil.

The Oregon Governor Sent For.

The press dispatches Of this morn
ing tell US that the United States Sen
ate has sent for the Governor of Ore.
gon to explain his jumping jack trick:
and give his reasons for trying to cheat
Governor Hayes out of an electoral
vote. The Democrats of the House
arc hopping mad about it. The Senate
has also appointed committee con-
sisting of Senators Morton, Logan and
Herman to go through the whole bull
doing business. That made the House
mad too, but it can't help itself.
Hayes inauguration is as good as
q fixed fact.

Let Us EnoH the Truth.

If, as the Democratic papers claim,
Louisiana on fair count belonged TO
the Tilden electors, why is the Demo
cratic majority in Congress so bitter
ly fighting the proposition 10 print
the testimony of the returning board
They denouncc the decision of the
board, yet would deny it the privilege
Of being heard, or of giving its rea'
sons for its action. Now we say lei
the fact come out; the whole truth re.
gardless of where it may strike. The
people of the country demand the
truth and whether the Democratic
House viii do its duty or not every
fact in relation to it will be Published
by the Northern Republican press.

Gold and Politics.

The insane howl that the Republic
can policy has ruined trade and
Frustrated the manufacturing interest
of the country and that everything is
going to the dogs because the Repub-
lican party proposes to stand by its
rights, is given the lie daily by the
gold quotations. Never since the Re-
publican greenback was issued has it
been so near gold value as during the
past week. In spite of all the howl
that can be raised by politicians the
steady decline of gold shows that the
capitalists and capital of the country
are nndisturbed.

Tit for Tat.

The only excuse the Democrats offer
for the actions of Grover of Oregon,is
that the Republicans stole three south
ern States and surely the Democrats
ought TO have the privilege of steal
ing single vote from northern State.
Such logic may console the average
Democratic politician, but it won't
stand the test of right. Before the
ides of March the Republican party
will show TO the world that it got
nothing south that did not lawfully
and morally belong to it. and that it
has power to protect itself against
thieves of whatever character,

Candidates for Office in the Legisla-
ture are beginning to loom up all over
the State. Thomas, William and
James are employing all their spare
moments in writing letters to the
members elect, each pressing his own
peculiar fitness for the office they are
seeking. There is one candidate we
would like to see successful, and that
is w. b. Williams of Sedgwick county
who wants to be Sergeant-at-arms OF
the Senate. His prominence as Re-
publican worker is not the only re-
commentator he has for the office.
He is genial wholesouled gentlumen,
and asa friend their is none truer on
earth. We hope he will meet with a
just recognition from the honorable
gentlemen of the Senate.-Clay Center

Judge s. A. Kingman.

Judge S. a. Kingman, one of the
purest and ablest jurists of the west,
will, on account of his poor health, re-
sign his office as Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of Kansas to take ef-
feet about the first of the year. The
Judge has been in his present Office for
ten years, and has about two years TO
serve on the present term. We have
no intimation as to who will probably
receive the appointment to ill the va
cancy. The news of Judge Kingman's
determination will be received with
general regret throughout the State.

The opposition papers take a great
deal of delight in having something
mean to say about every prominent
Republican in the State, especially if
he is candidate for some official posi-
ton. One would suppose that gen.
tlemen with as good reputation as
Col. 2. B. Plumb might escape detrac-
ton, especially from papers published
in county adjoining his residence. 1t
seems, however, that it matters not
how high man stands socially, the
Democratic press must commence its
howl on every man of prominece in
the Republican party. We judge that
the Lyndon Times will not make much
by its onslaught on Col Plumb, nor
will it hurt him.-Common ,cedifR.

A COMPROMISE With Tweed.

negotiations have been entered into
between representatives of Peter ID
Sweeny and Richard b. Connolly and
the proper city authorities, to compro-
mise matters. Sweeny and Connolly
profess willingness to surrender prop.
crty and money, on guarantee that
legal proceedings will be dropped. At
tempts are being made to include
Tweed in this arrangement, by which
it is claimed, the city will recover
back more stolen money than il ever
will receive under the present aspect
of affairs.

No Appropriation.

NO Appropriation bills are to be pass
ed until after the Presidential question
Is settled, on the second Wednesday
OF February next. At least this is al
legged to he the Democratic programme.
That would leave less than three
weeks in which to discuss and deter
mine the appropriation bills. The
House may vary the monotony of its
discussion OF the Presidential question
by discussing articles of impeachment
against Grant, and no business be
transacted at all. This would necessi-
tate an extra session, just what the
Democracy want, in order to keep the
country in turmoil and prevent re-
sumption of active.
