Intimidation used by the Democrats against
the negroes of the South, is the cry of the
Radicals to shield them from the guilt Of

there was no intimidation used by the Demo-
Gratis. But how was it with the Radical party

Facts from Florida---A Report from
Massachusetts Man.

A special meeting Of the Massachu-
sets democratic central committee was held in
Boston on Saturday last TO hear the Hon. l.,
H. Sato, tall s report of his visit to Florida
After brief introduction he said his heart was
filed with sadness at the state of affairs 10
Florida, aud he had to live there three weeks
to know the inlamy which is attached 10 such
a government. He characterized Gov Stearns
as a man totally unfit for the position, and
stigmatized his government as the most des-
potc aud oppressive on the American conti-
nens He criticised the doings of the returning
board, by which democratic majority had been
changed to majority Tor the republicans. tie
denounced the afidavits upon which whole
counties had been thrown out as entirely un-
trustworthy, AM declared that there was no
intimidation except such as was exercised by
black republicans against those negroes who
wished to vote the democratic ticket. He said
the presence of soldiers in Tallahassee after the
election was a perfect farce. and before the
eitCllOu lutl NtIO uocu W Na' lSb-Oo5 bOHia-
gogues to frighteD the negro into voting the
republican ticket. There is not a single white
man in Florida, he said, who is a republican
unless he is connected with the Stelrns gov
ernment. The poor negroes are worse slaves
than under the old slave system, for they are
the slaves of Stearns and his associates, and
they dare not do contrary TO their wishes
Taxation 10 the State is larger than its entire
production. Before the courts there is no JUS
tce, although Chief Justice Randall and two
of his associates 10 the Supreme Court be re-
garjed as men Of strict integrity. He then
gave a description. of the manner in which the
| alleged fraud in counting the vote was Carroll
on. In response to questions Col, Saltontall
said there was no need for Uuited States
troops in the State on election day. The only
intimidation practced was by black republi-
cans against black democrats, but, as it was, a
large humber voted for Drew. ln closing, he
counselled patieace, but not slavish submission
10 usurpatiOn.

From tie Baltimore san. !
A Patriot Fallen.

Gen. Bartlett, one of the most chivalric and
heroic officers of the Union army whose re-
cent death, at the early age Of thirty-six, has
called forth such universal tributes from the
Massachusetts, press, was as eloquent and pa
triotic as he was unselish and fearless. He
came out ofthe civil war covered with honora-
Die scars received in battle, yet when the war
was ended all his public speeches sought one
end-tbe burial Of the conflicts Of the war in
common national feeling. AZ the dedication
Of Memorial Hall at Harvard College he said !;
"Take care lest you repel, by injustice or sus-
picion or else by Indifference, the returning
love of men who now speak with pride OF that
flag as our flag" At the Lexington Mass
centennial he said: "Men cannot always
choose the right course, but when having
chosen that which conscience dictates they are
ready to die for it, if they justify not their
cause they at least ennoble themselves, and the
men who for conscience's sake fought against
their government at Gettysburg ought easily
to be forgiven by the sons Of men who for con-
science sake fought against their government
at Lexington and Bunker Hill" And again,
Immediately after, to the Yirginians at Rich
mond, he said
To cement the Union on sounder founda-
ton aud avail ourselves of the promises OF the
future is a soemo task, well fitted to these
centennial years. AS soldiers who fought the
battle out in good faith, you can WELD the
strongest Influence for peace aud right. Your
worst enemies at the South are few men here
and there who talk more bravely than they
fought. and it is the same ut the North; but
the people there, tired of these politicians,
whose voice is siill for war, ore fast replacing
them by men of less selfish purposes, whose
views are bounded by no narrow lines of State,
or section or party, but who desire justice and
prosperity for all. Tie war through which we
passed developed aud proved on both sides the
noble qualities Of American manhood. II has
left to us soldiers, once foes, now friends,
memory Of hard fought fields, of fearful sacri-
fees. Of heroic valor, and has taught us les
son to be transmitted to our chldron-that
divided We were terrible, united we were for
ever invincible"
These are truly noble and American sent-
meniS, and if the leaders of the republican
party az Washington could only be inspired
by them-if those ba,an. members of their
party who are "invincibe in peace and invisi-
bic in war" could only raise themselves to the
level Of such patriotism as tina. Of the tired
soldier and true gentleman whose loss MasSa-
chusetts is row mourning-we should soon re-
joce in a united and happy country.

The Right of Congress and of the
House.

Judge Black says -" II will certainly not lie
denied that Congress may inquire into the
genuiueness Of any certificate produced by the
President of the Senate. II it is known to be
mere forgery, all men of common integrity
will say with one voice that il must and shall
no, be counted. That being settled, let us see
what follows the case under consideration
Forgery is the fraudulent making or altera-
ton of writing to the prejudice Of another 5
right III the Returning Board and Governor o.
Louisiana wilfully, frauduently, and falsely
make a certificate that certain persons therein
mentioned had majority Of the popular votes,
Knowing The facts 10 be otherwise, they bring
themselves within this jurisdiction"
| And the same eminent jurst continues II
the house, upon what it believes to be true
| count Of the votes, shall determine that no one
has a majority, can the Senate interposo and
! command the House not 10 elect, or can it die
tate TO the House the names OF the three per-
sons from whom the choice is 10 be made p
| TO ash these questions IL 10 answer them.-
The Senate, having nothing TO do with the
Presidential election, has no duty to perform
about it, can pronounce no Judgment upon 1t
that binds anybody, for the reason that the
House cannot interfere with the business Of
