PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

On Tuesday last President Grant sent in
his eighth and last annual message to Con-
gress. Towards all .terrors of Judgment not
of intent" such as he claims his to have
been, We think the world generally is dis
posed tosbe charitable. But Gen. Grants
errors in his policy towards the South seem 10
have sprung from one or the other of two
courses-either from his bitter partisan feel>
ing as politician, or from regarding the
Southern States as mere conquered provinces
with NO rights except such as he, represents
ing the cOnqueror, chose to admit Whether
he can claim that the errors which his bitter.
ness towards the South led shim into, were
mere errors of judgment as distinguished
from errors of intention or whether the
Chief Executive Of the United States can
plead total ignorance Of the Constitution which
created him and which is the yery basis, of all
authority, We will not stop to decide. Ger
tain it is that ignorantly or Intentionally, he
has trampled the Constitution of his country
under his feet at almost every step of -chis
Southern policy since 1868 This last mes
sage, TOO, gives us an insight into the char
acser of the military chieftain now occupying
the Presidential chair that Washad neyer'ex-
pected to receive. II is written in a tone of
querulOusness as if he were the party to com.
plain and there is very obvious disposition
to shield himself from blame by throwing
upon others the responsibility of the mistakes
of his administering. This. shrinking from
responsibility was, to say the least oft, not
exactly what the world had right to expect
from. man whose chief characteristic was
supposed to be courage, moral as we'll as
physical But as a contemporary remarks, the
best part of this extraordinary official paper
is that part in which the President declares
that he will never again send a message to
Congress.

THE PRESIDENCY.

Since our last issue the electoral colleges
have met and cast their votes. AS was to
have been expected, the nineteen votes of the
three States of South Carolina, Louisiana and
Florida were given to Hayes by outrageous
frauds One of the three Republican electoral
candidates in Oregon being disqualified on
account of holding the position of postmaster,
the Governor refused him certificate in ac-
cordance with the requirements of the Con-
stitutiOn, and gave it to the next highest can
didate, Democrat. This gives Gov. Tilden
1So electoral votes without the States of South
Carolina. Louisiana and Florida, and puts
quite different aspect on the state of affairs
from that calculated upon by the Republicans.
They have hitherto argued that the count
must be made ''upon the face of the records"
and that Congress had no right to go behind
the action of State If they now take
"the face of the records" Gov. Tilden has
1S5 votes; if they insist on going behind
them, We will secure the three returning
board" States, with 10 votes more for Tilden,
giving him goa In either sase he is elected
SO they are left at liberty to choose either
horn of the dilemma they prefer.

ration of Chamberlain in the presence of the
