Who Rules .

Daring the Presidential campaign the
democrats have denounced as campaign
SANDER and clap-trap the assertion of the
Republicans that Mr.. Tilden, if elected
President, would be indebted for his success
solely to the solid South and the hot-beds of
ignorance, poverty and vice in New York
city. But the result proves the absolute
truth of the assertion. Mr.. Tilden has
added TO his shotgun states the vote of the
state of New York, by piling up from the
slums of New York city and Brooklyn a
majority Of eighty thousand votes. This
majority, as everyone knows represents the
ignorance, degradation and vice of the two
cities, and is composed chiefly of men who
pay no taxes, who neither appreciate nor
care for American ideas and institutions,
and who have no interest in the government
except in voting for local officers who will
keep them fed and clothed at the expense
of the tax-paying public 1t is such an ele-
ment which is enabled by the shrewd ma
nipulation of Mr.. Tilden to roll up such
majority, to offset the votes of the ntelli-
gence and patriotism and property of the
city and of the whole state above the liar.
lem river. Take this element away from
the democratic party and 1t would be as
helpless and hopeless as Mr. Tilden without
the votes of the southern rebels.

DR. HAYES, the Arctic explorer, writes to
the New York Herald in far from eompli.
mentary terms in regard to the work of the
recent British Polar expedition, which he
does not hesitate to call costly farce, that
squandered three-quarters of a million dol
lars to no purpose lie reiterates his belief
in an open Polar sea, and that the North
Pole is attainable-perhaps not in one year,
or in two years, but 1t can be reached if the
work is adhered to pluckily. lie thinks the
English did not show as much nerve, by any
means, as Captain Halls expedition did.
The great difficulty, he says, is to get over
the great belt OF ice that clings to the land
surrounding the Arctic sea. Once over that,
the explorer will find himself in an open
sea, two thousand miles in diameter upon
which he can sail at will.

A Curious CHAIR.--A San Francisco
paper says Seth Kinman and his son Car
lin, the renowned California hunters and
trappers, are now in the city. Seth has
gained considerable potoriety as the maker
of unique chairs for several of the Presi-
dents of the United States. lie presented
Buchanan with chair made of elk horns
and hoofs in 1854, and gave Abraham Lin
coin similar one in 1864. Andrew John
son was the recipient of chair made of
grizzly skins and claws. During recent
visit TO the Centennial Exposition Seth
called on Gov. Hayes at Columbus, Ohio,
and presented him with chair similar to
the Lincoln and Buchanan chars-of elk
horns and hoofs, with grizzly robe cover.

Andrew johnson chair in store for the Pres

Perhaps the democrats will have something
of the same feeling toward Colorado, just
created into a state by democratic House,
for casting her three votes for Hayes, espe-
cially if these should prove TO turn the scale
against Tilden, But, should single vote
give Hayes the election, we claim that the
credit should be placed where it Justly
belongs, viz; TO Hon. L, p Walton, who,
while representing this district in Congress,

HAYES LITTLE SPEEcH.-Great excite
ment prevailed at Republican headquarters
in Columbus, Wednesday afternoon, when
it was reported that Florida had given Hayes
the election by one majority, and process
sion, numbering several thousand, marched
to Governor Hayes residence In response
to repeated calls, the Governor appeared in
the doorway and said
Ny Friends:-l assure you | am obliged for
this hearty demonstration, but, il you will keep
quiet about half a moment, | will say something
to You which think is my duty, under the cir
cumstances, to say While our present adyices
look favorably we must remember that several Of
the states which have been considered doubtful
have large territory remote from railroad or tel
egraphic communications, and it will naturally
take some time to receive definite returns from
them. | therefore take this call as an earnest of
your loyalty to the Republican party and your
desire for its success. II later advices should
change the result from what 1t is announced at
present, assure You shall frequently recall this
visit during the time shall yet live among you
with pleasure. bid you goodnight

SroP that No decent man will continue
at the risk of grave public disturbance, to
insist that all returns which do not accord
with his wild partisan hopes, are obvi-
ously fraudulent" Both parties have been
wonderfully deceived as to the result in
some states, and both should by this time
have learned that the actual result may not
be what they expected in the disputed
states. The creature who tries to excite
revolutionary outbreak, Oh no better basis
than his own wild hopes, or the ridiculous
assertions of his half-crazed partisans, is not
fit to live in a free country.-Erchanqe.

A SouELcnER.-Some of our democrats,
in the exuberance OF their joy over the

that no small proportion of the yictors have
conscientious scruples against eating meat

Railroad Items.

From St. Paul Pioneer-Press, April 18th.
THE delay IN running trains on
the Northern Pacific from Moorhead to Bis
marck, has materially affected Black Hills
travel over that road.
President Ilsey, of the Lake Superior and
Mississippi road, is busily engaged in prepar-
ing for a heavy summers business; and the
company, it is said, are now determined to
build the long-ago talked of Knife Falls
branch road which is to bring the lumber
hereafter to be sawed at the point named into
competition with that sawed here.
Work on the Canadian Pacific, the Opppo-
sition line to the Northern Pacific, is to be
pushed vigorously during the summer Two
locomotives are to commence running on
that part of the line already built west OF
Thunder Bay, as soon as the opening of Lake
Superior permits their arrival at the Bay.
From Pioneer Press of April 9th.
We had an item the other day to the effect
that the Lake Superior and Mississippi rail
road company would this coming summer
build a branch railway from Knife Falls on
the st. Lonis river, to connect with their
road at Thompson, twenty three miles west
of Duluth. Now we Learn that this road will
not only be built, but that there will also be
built some five or six mills at the falls, the
capital furnished by wealthy lumber dealers
long doing business in the pine regions
around Williamsport, Pa. OF course a town
will grow up at the Falls and a lively time
follow, as the best of logs, and any quantity
of them, can be cut in the immediate vicinity
and for hundred miles above.

BLACK HrLLs.-A gentleman Of
this city has just received letter from Chey,
enne, Wyoming Territory, which bears date
March 23d, and in it is this intelligence
"Within the past ten days over 800 disap-
pointed men have reached here from the
Black Hills, some of them in an almost naked
and starving condition. They report no
gold, and bad condition of poverty and
despair existing among those now in the
Hills, while the valleys are full of snow and
the rivers frozen over sufficiently strong to
bear teams" This letter further adds that
unless the government steps in and furnishes
transportation and food numbers of those
who have been foolish enough to 60 fortune
hunting in the Hills will have their bones
bleached there. Rather bad this, for the
Black Hills.-Ninneapol end Pioneer P,ets

is ALWAYS incident to this season Of the year.
we believe that there will be great revival

the year farmers are less in debt than for
any year previous since the war; there is great
deal of wheatyet in stock, in the granaries of
the farmers, or in warehouses unsod. With
the opening Of spring, this wheat will begin
to move, and money that has lain idle through
the winter will seek the various channels OF
trade. We look to see business open brisk,
within so or 60 days and we believe we are tC

owing will pay their debts as far as they car

LAKE TEAvEL.-We clip the fol-
lowing encouraging news from the Minneapo-
lis end of the Pioneer-Press:
The various steamboat companies who in
tend running boats over the lakes the coming
season are just now very busy i'll arranging
for lively competition with the railroad
lines for centennial travel. Says letter
from Detr, it, received here last evening :
"Huge preparations are making at this time
for the drawing of passengers over Lakes
Superior, Huron aud Erie Eber Ward
heretofore considered the 'boss'in the upper
lake steamboat trade, will put on a Buffalo
line consisting of probably twenty boats,
while the Beatty Canadian line viii run at
least five, in connection with the Grand Trunk
railroad A third line will be that running
to Collingwood, connecting there with the
Northern Canada railway. A line is also
talked of from Cleveland" With all these
boats running to and from the head of Lake
Superior the summer is likely TO prove a
prosperous one.
