THE LATE RAILROAD FURRY.

We are convinced, upon examination,
that the article in our local department
last week, giving an account of the trials
and tribulations of some Centennial visi-
tors, was not entirely fair to the rail
road company.
In the first place the tickets, which
the parties held, were good only on the
date of issue for trip to and from Cen
tennial grounds. As is we'll known to
every resident of Elkton and vicinity
there We're but two trains from the Cen
tennial grounds to Elkton, one arriving
here at six and the other about half
past seven in the evening. Towards
the latter part of the season the com
panv allowed the tickets to be used on
the | | 80 train at night from Broad and
Prime depot; but this was only an eX-
ira accommodation allowed by the COM
pany outside of its contract. On any
other but one Of these three trains the
tickets were clearly not good.
An extra train was to start from the
Centennial grounds on the night of the
9TH after the fireworks, but the COM
pany in its advertisement specially linn
tied this train to Wilmington and sta
tions between there and Gray's Ferry
and passengers for stations below vii
mington had manifestly no right to
claim the privilege to ride on that train.
If such passengers staid after the train
which left the grounds at SIS, they
should have gone into the city and
taken the cars at Broad and Prime
The special train was not for them, and
if they chose to take it, with the COM
panv's advertisement that it did not go
beyond Wilmington, they did it at their
own risk and would seem to have no
right to complain that it did not carry
them through to Elkton.
The Elkton passengers thought they
could strike the 113O train at Grav's
Ferry or Wilmington, and SO they
| would but for an accident on the Penn
sy lvania Railroad, which kept them at
the Centennial depot, and which acci-
dent was in no way the fault of the P.,
w. 4 B. Railroad When they arrived
at Wilmington the / l30 train had been
gone two hours, and there was no train
passing south that night except the New
y York and Washington express, which
stops only at Wilmington, Pcrryville
and Havre de Grace The Elkton pas
sengers, however, got on this train, and
were put off from it some distance be-
low the Wilmington depot, near the
shops of Harlan Il Hollingsworth-
The train found an obstruction on the
track near Newport, where a freight
train had been partially burned, and
backed to Wilmington for instructions
There, finding that the train was de,
layed so as to be entirely out Of time,
the conductor hunted up the Elkton
passengers and brought them to Elkton.
and landed them by the same train and
at the same time they would have ar
rived if they had not been put off the
train. Still we think they should not
have been put off the train We un-
derstand that the case has since been
amlcable settled, and there it may well
end. 1t has served well as a subject

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

The Board of Canvassers of South Caro-
lima have rendered the further interference
of the State Supreme Court unnecessary.
They held a final meeting, on Wednesday.
while the Democratic lawyers were in Court
asking for new and various orders. and
issued certificates of election to the Repub-
lican Electors, State officers, and to all
members of the Legislature, except 10
those claiming to be elected from Edgeiield
and Laureus counties. The Board then
adjourned sine die, its legal term of life
expiring at noon on Wednesday. The
Legislature, under these circumstances, will
be Republican. 1t has the counting of the
vote for Governor and Lieutenant Governor.
Wade Hampton, the Democratic candi late
for Governor, has issued a proclamation on
the subject. The Louisiana Returning
Board has completed the canvass Of seven
parishes, making sixteen i'll all on which
there was no contest. The aggregate Re
publican majority they show amounts to
6,llO. 'hlS appears to complete the list of
uncontested returns. The returns from the
Parish of West Baton Rouge will now be
taken up, and with this will begin the tax
ing of the mass of evidence prepared on
both sides in the contested cases. The
receipt of threatening letters by the Board
continues as usual, and it is alleged tlat II
conspiracy has been discovered whereby
the two coloIed members of the Board We're.

and everything was to be done in the inter
ests of the Democracy. Ia Florida public
attention is wholly concentrated on the
proceedings before Judge White, of the
Circuit Court A Argument is TO be made
The Cecil Whig., 1876-11-25

In Florida, the Democrats appear to
be losing their temper, pretty sure
sign of their apprehensions for the sue
cess of the peculiar tactics by which
they have attempted to save that State
for Tilden So far as the honest can
vass of votes is concerned, there is no
evidence that the result will be sensiblv
affected whether the sitting of the vote
for Electors properly belongs to Gov.
Stearns or to the State Board of Can
vassers. The Democratic attempts to
intimidate either will, we imagine, be
thrown away, though from the way in
which certain Democratic County Can
vassers are lingering over their work,
it is tolerably obvious that popular feel
ing is being allowed a chance to tell
upon the action Of the honest men
who are friends of Gov. Tilden. -
There is, however, as little reason to
doubt that due effect will be given to
the legal vote of Florida as there is
that such vote shows a very decided
Republican majority.

IT should be borne in mind bv eve

IT should be borne in mind by every
patriotic citizen of the country, that
the attitude of Gov. Hayes from the
day of his nomination has commended
him most warmly to the respect and
confidence of the whole country
There has been manly simplicity in
his bearing, aud in the words spoken
by him when he was apparently de-
feated such manly good sense, that
should it happily prove that he is elect
ed, his total freedom from the arts and
uncommon anxiety of an old party
politician will be refreshing and en-
couraging to his fellow-citzens He
has been a true representative of the
good old cause; pure, honorable, saga
cous, selfrespectng and sef-restrained,
true type of the best American citizen

THE New York TINES, of Wednes-

THE New York TINES, of Wednes-
day, says:
1t appears that the policy of intimida-
ton in the South, so persistently pursued
by the Democratic party, was adopted with
deliberation and with Northern sympathy.
Up to election day, and possibly since. the
Democratic leaders in the South were max
ing heavy demands on New York for fire.
arms Trade in arms and ammunition was
carried on by Southern agents in behalf OF
{" rifle clubs'' The world knows that these
organizations were intended to dragroon
certain States into the support of Tilden.
Moreover, it appears that the Democratic
Bureau in Liberty street, New York, was
engaged in this shameful business as agent
and go-between. In at least one instance a
Southern Democratic Executive Committee
sent to New York for cannon; the Secre-
tary of the National Democratic Executive
Committee was the purchasing agent, and
Gov. Tilden was ready to sell State ord
nance for this purpose. This is the party
whose agents were secretly shipping arms
in time of peace, and which now howls for
"free expression of the popular will -
a will which has been coerced by the shot
guns and rifles of organized political ban
ditti.

From special dispatch TO the N. \. Times.
Our own sweet Michael comes home.
Home from the scene of the contest. out
from the smoke of the conflict back from
the field where the two great parties are
contending for the glittering prize. He
does not come with banners flying, nor
stepping to the strains of martial music
that tell us of 1" the conquering hero
But he comes home DIsGUsTED. Mike
Bannon disguised. Surely he must
have witnessed something far different
from what he had been led to expect
His disgust could not have arisen from
any knowledge which he may have Oh
tanned, as he fitted among the ever
glades Of Florida under an assumed
name, of efforts on the part of any one,
Republican or Democrat, to perpetrate
FRAUD. Such information does not
nauseate the State Senator from Anne
Arundel county. We had convincing
proof of that in his bearing one year
ago For with what complacency did
he read Cor prepare y the order to
trough" a city. How pensivey did
he smile as the telegraph brought the
news that the "pudden " tickets were
doing the work" When the result
established the fact that scoundrelism
had been successful in its battle against
a peoples privileges, how his face be-
came irradiated with heavenly light.
and how joyously did he nudge that
other gentleman who has lately re-
turned to us from New Orleans And
when that other gentleman stood boldly
up before the gaze of an outraged peo-
pie, and allowed himself to be installed

not entitled. the tongue OF Michael, 1t
is true, went into his cheek but then
there was no disgust.
Nor does Mr. Bannon train with
gentry that easily becomes disgusted
with fraudulent practices. He is, both
bv instinct and education, the cham
pion of political rascality, and his asso-
Citations tend only to confirm his char
acter. The apologist of ruflianism, he
does not hesitate to employ any means,
no matter how corrupt, to perpetuate
the power of the most debased and de-
bauched ring of politicians that has
ever disgraced this State. And yet his
peculiarities are somewhat paradoXlcal.
The known and avowed friend of gam
blers, his sun rises and sets in that
CHRISTIAN statesman who was pre-
vented from rising to heaven, only by
the weights-Bannon and Woolford-
which held him down.
But still the fact remains that Michael
comes home disguised. Now, if we had
been told that Mr. John Lee Carroll
had returned from New Orleans with
his aristocratic nose upturned, it would
not have done so much violence to our
credulitv. For that gentleman is, com
parativelv, a novice in the art of fraudu
lently controlling elections, although he
made tremendous effort one year age
to outstrip his competitors-and we are
not quite sure that he did not succeed
Nevertheless. we are charitable enough
to admit that there is limit beyont
which Democrrtic violence and intimi
dation, as practiced in Louisiana ant
other Southern States light DISCUS
him.
By forgetting few minor matters
we can bring ourselves to understand
how, safely enscouced in the parlors o
the St. Charles Hotel HE might deplor
to Mr.. WILLIAM T. HAMILTON (wh'
was also, at New Orleans), the condi
ton to which high-handed murder hat
brought State, and might denounce an,
efforts at counting out" and "count
ing in" the result of which would no
affect his personal interests.
But that Mr.. Michael Bannon shoul
become disgusted at any thing politica
that was rascally or diabolicaI, passe
our comprehension. One conclusion
only, is possible to be reached, and
is, that Mr.. Bannon has become cor
vinced that honesty WILL triumph an
instice WILL rule '-whereat he is di:
gusted.
SERIOUSLY, an impending danger ha
been, and is to-day, threatening tn
Republic, a terrible crisis is present

Nor single Northern State, except
New Jersey, has Democratic Legisla-
ture. New York, Connecticut and In
diana elected Democratic Governors
and gave their electoral vote to Tilden,
but all of them choose Legislature
Republican on joint ballot. In New
York and Connecticut the explanation
is simple one-the votes of the peo-
pie, outside of the chief cities were, by
a large majority, Republican.
