No one needs to be told what it
means when the Federal power us
es arms to overcome the supreme
judicial authority of a State We
can only imagine how Massachu-
sets would endure such unheard of
usurpation, and admire the self con-
troll OF the citizens of South Carroll

Let us see. Grant said he sup
ported Kellogg because the Su-
preme Court of Louisiana recog
nized him as the lawful governor of
the State. In South Carolina he
uses his bayonets to support Cham
herlain, the legality of whose elec
ton the Supreme Court repudiates.

Thirty millions ofpeople compos-
ing the twenty three richest States
of this Union, lying in the center
of our national domain, that voted
for Tilden and fairly elected him,
are not so dead to the impulses of
freemen as to permit this attempted
outrage to pass urrebuked and un
challenged. Our cause is the cause
of civil liberty, and its lovers every
where have reeled under this last
and most Infamous assault

The Washington correspondent
of the Graphic (Rep.) writes: 81
may as well reveal in this letter the
fluctuations of opinion which look
like a new departure on the part of
leading members of the Republican
party in this city. A good many of
the representative men, including
members of Congress and other Of
flee holders, are now disposed to be-
Iieve that it is best for the business,
if not political interests of the
try. that the election of Mr..
Tilden should be quietly conceded. .
I he struggle now going on for
the presidency Is peculiarly none of
our business. The Northern peo-
pie who supported Tildea are nu-
mericaliy, intellectually and pecuni
arily the equal of those who voted
for Hayes. If they choose to be
slapped in the face and sit down
and pout it out it's all right with us.
We are accustomed TO being kicked,
and our Northern cousins may bet
ter appreciate our condition by
getting a little unconstitutional in
dignity to sweeten their coffee with.

1t cannot be possible that the
president proposes to use the mill
tary power of the Government to
sustain the Canvassing Board in the
exercise of powers declared illegal
by the Supreme Court of the State
In Louisiana he based his interior
ence in bolstering up Kellogg on
the: deci ion Of thu Court. What
Justification Can he give the coun-
try for boIstering up Chamberlain
in contempt and defiance Of the de
cision of the SUI rene Court?-[ St
Paul Pioneer Press, Rep.
The delight with which Morton
contemplates Grants plan for en-
ploying cUrporars guard of sol
diers for a Returning Board in
South Carolina is dashed with a
tinge of regret that it was not APP
/ piled in Indiana. Ruger and a few
of his men at Indianapolis could
have accomplished in an hour what
Morton, Ingersoll, and the whole
bloody shirt brigade and q million
of money! failed to achieve in three
or four months of hard labor, colon
ling, and ballot-box stuffing.-
Chicago Times.
The Republican party should
have scorned to stoop SO low; the
party of progress, OF ideas, of liber-
ty, should have loathed this palter
ing with the ballot, and so the on
men in it worthy to be called Re
publicans do lOathe it. Better
| those of us who term ourselves true
Republicans should never enter an
other political canvass; better that
Republicanism should be a thing of
the past, and that the purer ele-
ments of the grand old organization
should unite in fresh forms, unfurl-
ing a new and brighter standard,
than that its unworthy lea Gers
should be open to the suspicion OF
attempting to put its candidate in
the White House by fraud. - Philas
delphia Telegraph, Rep.
We suppose the next thing will
be the establishment of a theolog-
zeal returning board to make the
sinners calling and election sure.
- American,
Election no longer means ch dice
by the people. 1t is merely a nee
essary formality to give the return
rng boards a chance to make a
choice.
