the courts that is to say they mean to re-

The Denncrats are silent and passive; that

Evidence accumulates that there is a con-

Edward MCPHERSON, who was formerly
Clerk of the House of Representatives,
where we presume he became statesman
competent to pass opinions on grave nation
al questions, has writer long letter to
the Philadelphia Times in which he proves,
TO his own satisfaction, that Congress has no
power to arrest frauds, and that false and
illegal certificates of election must be re-
ceived as valid and binding. In other
words, that there is no way of preventing
Republicans from cheating the people out
OF President and Vice President. The
distinguished ex-Clerk thinks ait is better
to acquiesce in the misfortune than to in
vite to evils whicn no man can measure"
Very specious pleading truly, but utterly
false. Acquiescence in what it pleases

in reality outrageous and indefensible cheat
h'g would be the end of free government
III this country. If on this occasion a slae
giving majority ofthousands for one can
didate can be made to give a majority for
his defeated opponent, then are elections a
disgraceful farce and the Republic is at an
end. Mr.. McPherson,in his mealy-mouthed
utterances, which are an insult to the intel
ligent people of the states, may designate
this frightiul attack on free government a
misfortune" but it is none the less true
that it is the gravest of crimes and one
fraught with disasters to the nation. Wheth.
er the better class of Republicans, the honest
and thinking men, will agree with Mr. Me-
Pherson's airy way of disposing of our trou-
| bles remains to be seen.

The Lock Haven Enterprise is ferocious-
ly "loyal" sheet. 1t thinks that if crimes
against the integrity of the ballot box were
punished, "the whole South wing Of the
Democratic party" would be sent to prison,
"and the colored people could then vote
without molestation." 1t would be inter-
esting indeed to read the election returns
from the Southern states, if there were no
white Democrats to interfere with Kellogg,
Packard and their kind in manipulating the
ballot boxes. 1t would no. be surprising
under such condition of affairs, for Louis
lana to give half million Republican ma
jority. The only difficulty the Republicans
would have to contend with, would be to ac-
count for the murder of Democratic negroes.
The white Democrats being in prison of
course could not be held responsible. 1t is
hardly necessary to mention that the Enter
prise would not for moment credit the story

LIGHT LITERATURE.

The Williamsport Gazette and, Bulletin ro-
published, on Friday last, . special report to
that reliable sheet the New York Times, rela-
tive to the fepdish conduct Of the, Democrats
ipEdge6eld, s. G. at the recent election. No
where outside of the pages Of dime novels
can there be found anything so bood-curdling
and exciting, so thrilling-and 80 utterly
false. The writer describes with the
master hand Of penny-a-liner the fe-
rocious and blood thirsty attacks on the
outraged but inofensive blacks and the
bravery of an officer who with eight men
representing the United States, Kept open
a narrow pathway along which the "poor but
undaunted negro" passed to vote The Re-
publiesns are rather insisting that the negroes
icere daunted and didn't vote, but this gallant
writer would not allow prettiy turned sem
tence TO be spoiled even to oblige the politi-
clans This shameful intimidation, was fol-
lowed by the beating of several negroes, but
the general belief in this statement may be
somewhat weakened by the writer's subsequent
announcement that the negroes outnumbcred
the whites ten to one. He makes this admis-
sion because, unfortunately for his party the
district gave a Democratic majority. The
Times really deserves good deal of credit for
the high perfection in lying which it has at
taincd. Compared with ita magnificent, its
gorgeous lies those of the ordinary organs are
but as farthing candle to the god Of day.
The sale of yellow covered" literature must
have materially fallen off of late, at least so
far as Republican readers are concerned, for
the columns of the Times offer even more at
tractive reading and at much cheaper rates.
It may be argued by the strait laced that such
stuff is disreputable and degrading, but the
Times having no reputation to lose and con-
scious that the paper sells, only strives to ex-
Gel its own efforts-rival it has none. A dis
grace to journalism, and the exponent of all
that is unwholesome in politics, it stands with

THE CRISIS.

~ Our readers will gather the situation from
the news in other columns of our paper.
There is no doubt in the mind of every fair
and honest man but that TilJen and Hen
dricks received majority of over 100000 on
q the popular and are entitled to 203 cleo
q toral votes. But the three States necessary
for Hayes, Florida, South Carolina and
louisiana, will be counted in," and the
Army and Navy of the nation will enforce
the blistering fraud. Had it been necessary
to accomplish the result, North Carolina,
Mississippi nay, every Southern State
would have been counted for Hayes.
We are asked, "What Is the remedy ?'

the case of South Carolina, their orders will
not be obsyed. The Democratic House can

erford B. Hayes, are as determined as are
those of the other side that only the man who
was fairly and legally elected President shall
be declared President, whether that be Mr..
Hayes or Mr.. Tildcn. The Republican par
ty was founded upon the highest and noblest
principles which ever brought men together
to conquer ina common cause; and il is as
true to those principles to-day as IL ever
was at any time during its long aud honora
bic history. 1t is not only a-but thc-par-
ty of law aud order, and it asks for nothinp
more and will accept of nothing .less, wheth-
er helped or hurt byi than decent respect
for the observance of both the form and spir-
it of the law. The action of the South Car
olina returning board is not only in defiance
of the deeply founded principles of the Re-
publican party, but it is, in the last degree,
revolutionary and while its work, thus il
legally done, should be Indignantly repudia-
ted by the country, its authors should be
made to feel the prompt and heavy hand
of the law they have defied and insulted.
No man can afford to be made President in
that way, no party dare endorse such acts
and the Republicans least of all will wish to
sustain yesterdays work of the South Caro-
lima returning bosrd.-Phiia Inquirer.

ingly toadying to aim, quotes the following
ION the Press;
'Thcy were asked by the President to visit
the capital Of that State in the interest of
peace and fair play. Mr.. Packer, like Judge
Carter. IS one of the Unrest judicial minds in
the country. The count III presence of him-
self and his associates and the Democratic
leaders, was perfectly honest and resulted in
the election of Wade Hampton for Governor
and the complete success OF all the Hayes and
Wheeler electors. The whole proceedings
were so manly and straightforward that both
sides professed themselves satisfied
We have conundrum to ask our sprightly
cotemporary. If Mr.. Packer and Judge Cart

country" declare that the count made in the
presence of himself and associates and
ths Democratic leaders was perfectly hon
est and resulted in the election of Wade
Hampton for Governor, &C., how in the name
Of common sense can the american, and 'the

During the proceedings of the Louisiana
Returning Board on Saturday the sealed re-
turns from De Soto parish being opened, it
was found that one of the protests of the
Supervisors, charging general intimidation,
Was dated November 25th, and sworn to in
New Orleans before Commissioner of the
Circuit Court. When asked to explain how
protest dated the 25th could get into a
sealed registered package received by mail
on the 18th, the Secretary said he had re-
ceived two packages, He was then detected
in the act of making anOtheientry in his book
of two packages. After.some delay another
package was produced it contained only
consolidated returns,no protests or afiidavits.
This will give some idea Of the rascally
manner in which the Board conduct their

gusted and admitted that fraud had been
committed. The Board had nothing to

Grant has issued another one of his brutal
proclamations placing the military at the
disposal of Gov. Chamberlain of South Car
olina'to maintain Republican government
in the State" Aye, that's it--not re-
publican form ofgovernment, as required by
the Constitution, but Republican" gov
ernment. No possible excuse exists for this
unlawful act Of Grant. No insurrection
exists, no competent authority has ever
asked for troops and there is no reason why
they should be sent into the State except
this aliat the State is to be given tosthe Re-
publicans
No regard for law, State or Federal, re-
strains the Administration in its acts. We
believe, however, that q bitter day of reckon
ing is coming and that those who offend
against the law will perish by the law.
