At the same time, the disposition of
the mass of the people is candid and
in favor OF fair play. We find assgr-
ances, every day, that the best senti-
ment of the Republican party, we wish
we could say its ruling sentiment,
would rather the Louisiana Returning
Board should elect Tilden than that
they should again deserve such censure
as was visited upon them by Messrs.
Wheeler, Hoar and Frye in their re-
port of February "a, 1875. But the
party leaders are silent In this crisis.
The President spoke, but an expir-
ing President, who has just led his
party to doubtful victory or defeat, is
not party power. The Republicans
who went to New Orleans converted
their first opportunity for high moral
utterance into the mere elaboration
of law point. No Republican SEN
ator or Congressman raises his voice
amid the general alarm and perplexity.
Everything in party circles Is whist
and discreet, and at time when all
the moral forces of the country are
needed on the side of honesty, fair
play and peace. The attitude of the
party leaders reminds US strongly of
that old AssyFiau boast which the
prophet denounced By the strength
of my hand, [ have done it; | have
removed the bonds of the people, and
have robbed their treasures; my hand
has found as a nest the riches of the
people, and there was none that moved
the wing, or opened the mouth or
peeped. "--,Sprinqtfeld Republican NoU.

What a COlOred Editor of Tennessee
Knows About 1.-THE Cause of the
Popular Revolution in South Caro-
lima.
w. B. Scott, ST., eolored, the intel
ligent and Conservative editor of the
Maryville Republican, writes as fol-
lows to the Knoxville Tribune:
y MARYvILLE, Tenn, Nov. %, 1876.
Republican partisan journals are
now having great deal to say about
the intimidation" policy of the South
ern Democracy. Having spent five
weeks in the States of North and
South Carolina, mingling freely with
both races and political parties, can
truthfully state, without egotism or
prejudice, that the greatest "intimida-
ton" and intolerance now to be seen
party. Colored men who dare exer-
else the privilege of citizenship as they
see fit, casting their ballots for the
Democracy, are in more danger of vi
olence and prescription than those
who vote the straight Republican
ticket" @|
The Democracy of the States above
alluded to, having everything at stake,
are more law-abiding, liberal and con-
seryative than the Republicans, who
seek to OveraWe and intimidate both
white and colored Democrats.
From personal observations, and
from the admissions of colored Repub-
licans, | am forced to the conclusion
that a great deal of the reports Of sin
timidatiOn by Democrat" is manu-
featured for the purpose of making
capital against the Democracy. The
passions of colored rowdies are in
famed, and the prejudices of the ig-
norant appealed to, by white Republi-
cans, whose moral and political defects
would be sufficient. in an enlightened
community, to condemn them as po-
litical dead-beats and corrupt scoun-
drels, unworthy the support of the
honest men Of either party. .<--
In many towns In South Carolina [
witnessed the heretofore unusual sight
ofcolored Tilden and Hendricks clubs,
from 250 to 500 strong, marching in
procession, with their own officers,
marshals, badges, etc.; all enthusiastic
for the great Reform ticket; but in
some localities where the Republicans
were in the ascendency, | found col
ored Democrats who were afraid to
declare their political sentiments for
fear of violence being done them by
partisans of their own race.
Some of the most intelligent men of
South Carolina, disguised with the
corruptions and partisanism of the
Chamberlain State government, joined
with the Democracy this year in the
interests Of good government, honesty
and liberalism, which accounts for the
large Democratic vote cast on the 7th |
of this month.
The Republican partisans, rendered
desperate by the OBJECTIONS in their
own ranks, now seek to charge that |
intimidation" swelled the Democratic
majorities in the South, when really it |
is the result of the hideous corruptions
in the Republican organization, the
honest men of the party coming out
from among men who, at the North,
would be classed as thieves and swim
dlers. Respectfully,

mate musical science cannot be sur

visitation here since his visit to Eu-

Sunday night, preaching them an adj

while here to make serious appeal
to the people in behalf of the Univer-

some very handsome donations during
his visit to England.

A Card TO the Public,

For many years we have made two
medicines suited to the ailments of
vast class of sufferers, Thousands of
cures have been made by them, and,
in fact, the word failure could not be
coupled with them. But within the
last two years counterfeits of our med
icines have sprung up, dangerous in
their close imitation of our Trade
Mark. To secure the people we have
placed upon each genuine box of Hol-
loway's Ointment the fac simiIe of the
signature of our agent, Mr.. Jos. Hay
dock. To counterfeit is felony. We
shall relentlessly pursue any one who
initiates this with the utmost vigoF Of
the law. We most earnestly beg that
the great mass of the American people
will aid us in our efforts to protect
their health, and help us in our task
of bringing these most unprincipled
men to the bar of justice. Uniformly
refuse to purchase Medicines purport-
ing to be ours unless Mr.. Jos. Hay
docks signature is attached to each
box of Pills or pot of Ointment and
the end will soon be reached.
The publie's obedient servants,

Importance Of Home Paners.

The importance of papers to the
village or county where published can
not be estimated. The home news is
something that people cannot dispense
with and which they cannot buy else
where. An exchange thus fairly pre-
sents the question r.
For various reasons the larger cities
can senG out their news at quite as low
prices. Families can be furnished
with knowledge of all the world for
two dollars year and postage. But
there is something they cannot buy in
New York or Boston-local matter
out of which home interest and enter
prise grows: it is the local newspaper
that gets at the knowledge of particu-
lar necessities, to the value of individ-
ual persons and means. All the i'm
provements begin in our small centers
become important forces by personal
application, and of public value by the
fostering care and attention of the To-
cal press. Then the local press is such
an invidual power as cannot be easily
swung into line to the help of selfish
outside purposes. a towns interests
are all closely interviewer with those
home organs of individual expression
and country enterprise. Persons that
neglect these for the large bids of city
dailies are like the housewife who
neglects her own freside for the cares
Of other people.

Scattering the Relies Of Old Hickory.
The Philadelphia Press of a recent
date contains the following

The Philadelphia Press of recent

ut is always sad to hear that the
relatives of any of our great statesmen
are dependent on the cold charities of
the world. The daughter-in-law of
Gen. jackson, devoted woman who
ministered to his wants, who was by
his side when he died, and whom the
General loved as his onlychild, is COM
PEELED by narrow circumstances to part
with her valuable relics. All who
feel disposed to purchase, and at the
same time assist worthy woman and
honor a noble memory, may obtain
list by addressing Mrs. A. Jackson,
Hermitage, near Nashville, Tenn. The
carriage presented to Old Hickory at
his Inauguration by committee of
gentlemen from New York city, and
called his State carriage, is also for
sale, and can be seen at the shop of
the maker, Broadway and 47th street,
In that metropolis"
Lamenting the circumstances that
have rendered such disposition of these
relics necessary, we also regret that
they could not have been retained in
Tennessee. Perhaps it is not yet too
late. If the Historical Society would
take the matter in hand, we are quite
confident that sufficient fund could
be raised. Tennessee should have
enough State pride to see that these
mementoes of the most illustrious of
her sons should not pass into the hands
of strangers.-NashoiUe american.

DEAR SIR-Our true policy is to lei
the Northern people settle this matter.
If they choose to allow Louisiana to
be DISTINGUISHED; if they choose to
permit the President, backed by the
Aarmy and Navy, to elect President,
we must submit, because, if we should
strike single blow for our liberty.
for our Constitutional rights, a solid
North would soon be down upon us like
an avalanche, and would crush out the
last hope for US of free Government.
Almost single handed Louisiana
has fought the battle of constitutional
liberty, and the right of self-goVern-
ment, for three years past. twas the
battle If the Union, the battle of each
and all the States. At last shehas
succeeded in bring these stupendous
issues before the proper tribunal, the
people of the United States and she
now pauses, awaiting, with patience
and dignity the, verdict and Judgment
of this grand tribunal. What the re-
suit may be, know not, but she will
not imperll the momentous, the all
important interests involved, by any
act tending to precipitate conflict, or
to relieve the Federal administration
of the odium, the guilt, which justly
attach to it for the ruthless invasion of
our unofending States, in a time of
profound peace, and for revolutioniz- /
ing, and destroying Constitutional
Government, for the interest of
shamefully corrupt and disgraced par
ty, under the himsy pretext of pre-
serving the public peace.
Respectfully,
