We've seen a President whose hand
For presents always itehed,
Aud with the spoil of offices
His relatives enriched;
Who gathered knaves about him
And guarded thieyish rings
Asa hen protects her chickens
With the cover of her wings;
seryile Senate urged him on
And always gave consent,
While offices of highest trust
To boon companions went,
These vultures filched the public funds
To make their own nests warm

WASHINGTON, October 81.
All Government business is at praeti-
cal stand still just now. Tho male en-
ployes have gone home to vote, and all are
looking forward to the 7th Of November
with fear, and trembling, and faiIings Of
heart. Some Of them have hope, but none
have confidence. The political barometer
for the last week has indicated q steady
rise for Tilden. The heavy political STRAIT
egy Of the Republican managers in send
ing the army to South Carolina has proved
worse than an abortige, for it has revealed
and directed the eyes of the country to
the real condition as seen at Cainhoy; and
the stupid canard about the depression of
American securities abroad, from the pro-
liability of Tiden's election, has had no
effect upon the astute unimpressible mon
eyed classes whom it was designed to in
tiuence. On the other hand, Governor
Tilden's opportune letter in reference to
Southern claims has completely scotched
the bold misrepresentation of ten thou
sand oratorical demagogues and nearly
half as many newspapers.
For two successive days astonished
Washington has seen the phenomenal alb.

The editor of the Freeman's Jo,unal,
Mr.. James A. McMaster, in letter to
the editor Of the New York Herald, says !:
GAS you know, l have steadily and strongly
urged on all good citizens Of the United
States that may care'for my opinion that
the election of Messrs. Tilden and Hen
bricks in releasing the people of the South
ern States from the cruel oppression they
are suffering will markedly enhance the
business prosperity Of the whole country
and give US ''better times" l believe
that almost all Irish born who vote at all
will vote the whole ticket--federal, State
aud local--that is known as Democratic.

idea it is to exercise such power, and
that it is the earnest wish of the President
to render it unnecessary by those endeav.
orS which humanity or love Of peace and
tranquility and the happiness Of his fellow
citizens dictate, no lover Of his country
could witness this marshaling of troops
without apprehension but in the present
case the order of the Secretary of War d.
recting all the available force in the mill
tary division Of the Atlantic to immedi-
ately report to the general commanding at
Columbia, South Carolina, was issued sim
ultaneously with the proclamation of the
President, and the troops were set in mo-
ton before his summons to "disperse"
could have reached those to whom it was
addressed. To warrant action thus prompt,
on the eve of closely-contested election,
at the instance Of the Executive of State
himself a candidate, nothing but the plain
nest necessity, established by every re-
quirement of the law, could suffice; and
in this instance the alleged facts do not
make out case for intervention, nor is
the failure Of the Legislature to unite in
the application properly explained or ac-
counted for. These hindrances to the use
of military force are not formal. 1t is Of
the essence of free institutions that the
exercise Of power shall be hampered by
restrictions and clogged with conditions
nor can any case be suggested in which it
ls moro important than these checks and
Limitations shall be jealousy maintained
than in respect to the employment of
troops to put down reported tumults and
disorders occasioned by party excitement
on the eve of doubtful election. Our
institutions are not likely to be to be en-
dangered or overthrown by individual acts
of violence and outrage, however numer-
GUS and however worthy Of reprobation,
but they may be undermined and finally
destroyed, as Others have been before them,
by allowing violations of the law on the |
part of those in power to pass unnoticed
until they have accumulated into body |
of precedents, to be invoked as a warrant
for new and further encroachments. In
order, therefore, that the action of the
President in the present case may not be
hereafter cited as authority upon the
ground that it was sustained and approved |
at the time by public and professional opin-
ion, we have deemed it our duty to make
this public protest against it, and we do
hereby solemnly declare that in our judg-
ment as lawyers his proclamation and or
ders are in hagrant violation of the letter
and spirit Of the Constitution and laws of

Hayes in Congress did all he could to
build up that corrupting system which has
demoralized our politics and public life,
led to extravagance, venality and yillainy,
and has brought the country to bankrupt

fitted personally or not by this vicious leg
islation. He helped to fasten it and its
consequences on the people, and he can.

it being proven that governmental extrav
agance has constantly increased under the
present Administration, it is impossible
that it should do otherwise than continue
to increase under the administration of
the chosen successor Of President Grant.
The farmers Of the country therefore will,
we think, cast their votes for Tilden and
Hendricks, reunion, retrenchment and
reform, low taxation and better profit to

SONS EXPLANATION NECEssARY-On the
evening Of the twenty-sixth ultimo Mrs.
Augusta 0. Jansen was found hanging BY
her neck, dead, in the house No. 272 G.rod
street, where she, her children and her
husband boarded. One end Of the rope
was tied to the stair bsnistsrs and the other
end was drawn tightly around her throat,
and Immediately after sr alarm was given
somebody saw the husband cutting the
rope, v hich caused suspicion to fall on him,
consequently he was arrested, locked up in
the first calaboose, where be remained until
last evening, waiting action by Coroner
Chsstanr. An inquest was held and the
verdict rendered was suicide, but the po
lice had no direct information of that fact,
which accounts for their holding accused.
Yesterday Superintendent Loan, being I'M
willing to wait longer, opened the prison
door and told the man to depart in peace,
as ample time had elapsed for the coroner
to act, if he had occasion to make return
in the premises. The widower has two
children, one of them an infant, having 10
body to care for them. Captain Gray cent

A CASE OF Absence OF MIND.-It may be
true or otherwise, but circumstances indi-
cate that there is some foundation in fact
for the story. He, John Smith, or an indi-
vidual that might answer to that name ss
well Is to any other, was acting as special
policeman or deputy marshal in hunting
up the names of parties supposed to have
NO real existence, but who appeared as
registered voters, and was ihtrusted with
certain documents intended for the quick or
the dead Smith was lively enough, bat met
with poor success. Singular as it may ap-
pear, Smith knew his own name, but then
it is very common one, and any member
of that great family can be excused for TAX
ing little note of such an item. The sfole-
said officer was intrusted with q warrant to
arrest one of the Smiths for vi lating the
registration laws; he easily found the honAe
but that man Smith had disappeared. He
ther eupon returned the warrant Endorsed
mot found" When further investigation
was had, the fact leaked ont that the war
rant was for the officer himself, and that
he had been unable to secure his own per-
son, When shown his absurd situation,
Smith acknowledged the corn and called
for rye all round.
