Which House Withdraws?

The northern papers arc constantly speak
ing OF the possibility that the House Of Re
representatives. may withdraw from the Joint
conference Of the two houses thus assem-
bled to count the votes for President and
ce-President. But it is the Senate that
must withdraw il either body does. The
two houses meet in the hall of the House OF
Representatives. The twenty-second joint
rule shows this clearly, and that without
reference to whether it is now in force or
not. 1t provides that

cate by the tellerS any question shall arise in
regard to counting the votes therein certi-
fed, the same having been stated by the

selves whilst present. IL any such question
as is alluded to in the rule shall arise, and
the rule be not in force, then the House will
control the joint conference by reason of its
numerical superiority. Ii the Senate refuse
to submit to this control, the Senate will
be compelled to withdraw. The House will

Grants Hypocrisy.

The rumors OF apprehended tumultuary
INSTRUMENTATION at Washington from an an
ticipated Democratic parade, and what
not? are manufactured to afford a sort OF
pretext for Strengthening the warike force
there. They are also intended to create in
the public mind vague apprehensions OF
trouble, against which it is proper for the
Administration to guard-''ye proper,
indeed" says the poor fool or the deceitful
partisan.
Deceit is great auxiliary OF yillainy, and
we have seen how adroitly it has been en-
ployed by the GRANT Administration.
There is not q particle Of danger OF any
disturbance in Washington. There is no
personal danger threatening GRANT. The
best fate for him, supposing him to have a
conscience, is a prolonged life and 1nedita-
tion over his public career. That will do
for hmm. There cannot possibly be any VIC
lent demonstration among the masses IN
less 1t is provoked by outrages that might
drive the people to frenzy.

The news from Florida is unimportant.
Governor STEARNs asserts that be has not

canvass the election returns, but he would
doubtless make it up to that effect very soon
after the court should dismiss the bill filed
by the Democrats. Indeed, it seems to be
thought i'm Florida that he would not obey
an order Of the court commanding him not
to count the votes for electors OF President
and Vice-President. BE and his party claim
that only the Supreme Court Of the State
has the power to assume Jurisdiction in such
a case as the one now before Judge WHITE,
who is only circuit Judge. The Supreme
Court does not sit until January.

JUDGE BOND HOBNoBBING WITH CHAMBER

come, has arrived here, and is staying al
Governor Chamberlain's house. All man.
ner OF rumors are afloat, but the most plausi-
BILE reason I hear given for his extraordi-
nary zeal is that, if defeated in the State
courts, the Radicals here will try, by some
hocus-pocus, to get the State election into
the United States courts; and if the desired
opportunity should arise, how fortunate il
will be for them that this particular United

JUDGE MACKEY DIDN'T INT1MIDATE WORTH
A CENT. During the election deputy
United States marshals were sent into
Judge Mackey's circuit to look after the
interest Of the Radical party. The Judge,
hearing that five were in his circuit ready
to do the bidding OF their masters issued
orders II any Of them were detected in I'M
lawful practices that they were to be ar
rested and confined in jail until they could
be dealt with as the law directs. Two Of
these gentry-Cato Porter and Isaac Cas-
sels-not having the fear Of the law before
their eyes, began their work early in the
day, and were promptly arrested. The re-
naming three, finding they would meet with
the same fate, escaped. One Of the arrested
worthless gave bail for his appearance, and
the other now lies in cell in Chester Jail.
So it seems these boastful fellows who
imagined, because they wore the badge Of
United States officers, and who imagined
that citizen has no rights they are bound
to res pect, found Judge Mackey to be a
very difficult nut to crack; and so he is

it will. Governor CHAMBERLAIN, on the

Grants Determination.

rs long ago as the 9Th of September this
paper declared opinions as to the purposes
OF the GRANT Administration that read now
like prophecy; yet they were based upon
signs and circumstances that justified our
conclusions. 1t was not prophecy-it was
logic. The Dispatch was then gently raj
lied by good friend and venerable gentle
man with wanting faith in the future. This
led to an article fully stating the views Of
the Dispatch. We extract a paragraph or
two from that article:
We wish to arouse the people, who are
slumbering upon the brink OF precipice.
Our purpose in pointing out the dangers
that beset our pathway is to induce the
effort to overcome them. We are far from
Respondent On the contrary, we are con-
fident that Tilden will be elected, if the
Federal Government will permit it. He is
the choice of the people. He is as certain
to receive the votes of all the southern
States, except South Carolina, as a man
could be Of anything in the future, u7atcSS-
u,leSS-unleSS-(ho are we to get rid
Of this unpleasant word and OF the dis
agreeable truth which it tells 2)-unless
Taft's orders be carried into effect and
Hayes be elected by the tools OF the Ad-
ministration. We anXioNsly desire to
awaken the northern people to the perils OF
the situation. II they can be alarmed
the danger is over.
Without the vote OF New York Hayes
cannot be elected, unless he can get the
votes of the three Southern States named
above. Grant has determined that Hayes
shall be elected, and that the votes OF those
three States shall be counted for him. Does
ANYBODY doubt this statement? Can any
body doubt it? And il it be true, is it not
time for every southern paper to sound the
alarm in such manner as that the North
will be compelled to hear it? Would it be
wise to CIV "Peace! Peace!" when there
is no peace? To say to our northern friends
and party associates that Tilden will GER
tainly receive the votes OF Florida, Missis-
sippi, and Louisiana, when we cannot but
kpo,o that Grant has the intention OF carry
ing them by force for Hayes, whether he
shall prove to have the power to do SO or
not?
This, we repeat, read in the light Of pass
ing events, looks like prophecy. With the
exception that Mississippi was named in
stead of South Carolina as necessary to elect
HAYES, events have confirmed what we
then said. This view, with this alteration,
we have steadily maintained. GRANT is de-
termined that HAYES shall have the three
southern States necessary to elect him. The
public is too familiar with this.
When the troops marched to Florida we
declared that we believed that the three dis
puted States would be forcibly seized by
GRANT, and Notwithstanding the changing
tones OF Geographic information in all cases
determined force has triumphed.
And now we look to the two houses OF
Congress, and there our hope has faithfully
abided. 8:1

Democratic Committees Invited to n
Friendly Correspondence.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, November 22.-The
Democratic State Central Committee and
number OF representative Democrats from
various counties Of the State met here to-
day for consultation. The following resolu.
tions were unanimously adopted:
ResoLUed, That patriotism demands OF
every good citizen spirit OF ready acqui.
escence in the result OF the presidential
election as fairly ascertained, and we dep,
recate all partisan feeling in the discussions
of fact and law on which that result de-
ponds.
RESOLVED, That it is due to the people,
and it is indispensable to the preservation
of free government, that the President shall
not be chosen by fraud or force. We ap.
peal to the officers charged with canvassing
the vote and making returns to allay public
apprehension and suspicion by open and
impartial action, thus commanding the cor
dial acquiescence OF the American people
but admonishcG by the past action OF the
present Returning Board in Louisiana that
such returns may be falsely and fraudu.
lently made, we demand Of the Senate and
House OF Representatives to exert, ii neces-
sarv, constitutional powers vested in them,
Jointly or severally, to the end that who
ever has been fairly chosen by the people
shall be declared and inaugurated President
OF the United States.
Resolved, That we regard the concentra-
ton of regular troops at Washington
by the President on the eve Of the assem-
bling of Congress as an act calculated to
throw discredit upon the disposition Of the
people to obey the law and submit to the
results of the presidential election as legally
ascertained, and excite unnecessary alarm
as to the stability of the republic, thereby
imperilling the peace at home and public
credit abroad.
Resolved, That we recommend to the
Democratic Central Committee OF the State
to correspond and confer with other State
Democratic committees Of the country with
the view to full understanding Of the facts
and perfect concert of action in maintain
ing the rights OF the people in the late presi-
dental election, as determined by the proper
legal authorities.
Speeches endorsing the resolutions were
made by Thomas E. Wing, George II. Pen
dlcton, G. W. Morgan, Durbin Ward, and
others ~
