The Republicans demand only be-
fore the meeting of the Returning
Board was, that the "forms of law"
should be strictly complied with, to
which the Democratic leaders readi-
ly consented. Now the Democrats
come to the front and asks to have
the so-called s'forms of law" strictly
complied with in that State in the
vicinity of the Rocky Mountains
Will this rec uest By granted?

The story that a Hayes elector in
South Carolina was offered $4,000
or one in Louisiana 800, 900 to vote
for Tilden, is too thin, inasmuch as
it was not accepted. That amount
would have purchased a dozen cleo
torals on The Radical ticket. Think
of men undertaking to steal a Presi-
dent refusing $4,000 or a $10o, 900
for their vote. Bah!

The National debt was increased
last month half a million dollars. We
ale paying now for the lying bullet
ins issued before the election for po-
litical effect, showing a large and
steady paying off ofthe debt. Ifthe
Democratic House had not cut down
the expenses, saving thirty millions
of dollars for the year, the increase
Of the debt for November would have
been over three millions of dollars.

For RUTHERFORD B. HAYES to at
tempt to crawl into the Presidency
of the United States through the
scoundrelism of such infamous and
lawless characters as Kellogg and
his crew, and in the face of the hon
est vote against his election, is to
commit a crime that should forever
and eternally damn him and all his
p~osterity.

Ohio gave HAYES a little over 1000

Ohio gave Hayes a little over 1000
of a plurality. In Louisiana upon
the face of the returns Tilden has g.
$50 over the highest Hayes Elector,
and s,S6S owe the lowest, yet Tilden
Electors are counted out and a ma
jority given to Hayes. Think of it,
freemen of Ohio, over 5000 voters
deprived of their sufrages by an in
famous Returning Board.

LOUISIANA THE REAL ISSUE.

Oregon is not. the Issue; Louisiana
is. All the great power of the Re-
publican press all over the land has
been steadily exerted for the last
week to divert public attention from
the State where a great outrage up
on the ballot has been committed to
the State where a dispute has arisen
over a single electoral vote. The
contest in Oregon is over a point of
law which is not necessarily political
at all. Gov. Grover holds that when
votes have been cast for an ineligible
candidate, those votes are void, and
that therefore the candidate rcceiv-
ing the next highest number of votes
should be declared elected. That is
his opinion, and the opinion Of IN
good lawyers. 1t is the opinion of a
good many Republicans, too, for the
Republicans of St. Louis claimed one
of the electoral votes of Missouri on
just the same ground. The action
of Gov. Grover is ex%asperating be-
yond expression to the Republicans,
because, in order to overthrow il,
they must permit that scrutiny BY
Congress into the validity of the re-
turns from q State which the Demo.
Gratis are demanding in the three
Southern States. This is the whole
secret of their anger.
But this is a matter that the law,
yers may be allowed to wrangle over,
as they inevitably will; the fact for
the people to consider is a plain one
that in Louisiana, leaving the 9th
er Southern States out of considera'
ton, about $4,000 votes that were
cast, and lawfully cast, for the Til
den electors, have been thrown out
by the Returning Board, and that BY
this means q majority of from 5000
TO 1000 votes las been secured for
the Hayes electors; that, concedins
Florida and South Carolina to Gov
Hayes, he had only 176 electora
votes, giving him, just for the sak'
of argument, all three electoral vote
in Oregon; that Gov. Tllden, had Is:
electoral votes, without the vote o
Louisiana or Oregon, that the vote o
Louisiana was his by a majority from
$500 to 5000, as papers of all poll
tics freely admit; that the eight cleo
toral votes of Louisiana secured t
him by his handsome majority, woul,
have given him 1872 electoral votes
or 16 more than Gov. Hayes. Nev
ertheless these eight votes have bee
wrested away from Gov. Tilden h,
fraud, and the whole force of tn
army, the navy, the Senate, the Pre-
sidency and of the vast army Of Fed
eral employees is to be used to con
summate the outrage. Never befor
was so bold and palpable a Grim
committed upon the ballot-box, an
in defiance of the will of a free pee
pie. Nay more, if this crime finall.
succeeds, the ballot box will here
forth be mere mockery, and thi
people will cease to be free.

WADE HAMPTON was inaugurated
Governor of South Carolina without
any opposition. He is the legally
and lawfully elected Governor of the
State, and that was right. There is
a rumor that the carpet-bag Cham
berlain, will arrest Hampton, which
has created considerable excitement
among the people of the State. The
Democratic Legislature has its con-
stitutional quorum, while the Re-
publican Rump lacks thirteen.

The Radical conspirators and Pre-

of peace. There is yet a little
liberty left in the country.

less leaders might deem it safe to

Federal Legislature. To-day look
ing to see the bayonet again used to
seat legislatures whom the ballot
has refused to elect, we warn all
linen that the logic used by President
Grant to excuse his interference to
prolong the power of Governor
Chamberlain may be used to pro-
lbng his own, The people are sup
posed to have chosen Governor
chamberlain to serve for a term cer-
tain. President Grant undertakes to
say that he must "remain Governor
until a new Governor shall be duly
and legally inaugurated under the
Constitution" Save by armed
usurpation, no jot or title of power
can attach to the private either, MIR.
Chamberlain, for one instant after
his term expires; save by the same
armed usurpation not one jot or title
: of power will attach to the private
, citizen Mr.. Grant, after his term ex
pires. Unless Republicans, forget.

a sort of soldiers logic which viii

pie elected President Grant precisely

The revival of business, for which

adjustments are contemplating q
continuance of the depression, and
unable to bear the strain much longer

trade is blocked and discouraged.

politically and commercially, both

The greatest trouble that our
brethren of the Hayes organs have,
just now, is their inab. lily to find
words adequate to the indication of
their wrath upon learning that
through the action of Gov. Grover,
of Oregon, they are themselves in
the pit which the leaders of their
party dug for the Democrats. They
are like the schoolmaster in Maize
who knew as well as anybody what
State Boston was in, but had hot the
flow of language to express it. To
say that the act of Gov. Grover is
the darkest political crime in his

f station of their inward feelings
upon the subject.

The Hawaiian treaty.

~ CHIcAdo, Feb. THE IimeS Washington
special says Mr.. Allen, native Of the Sand
witch Islands, is there working In the interest
of the treaty with his government This
treaty provides for the free entry into our
ports of the products of the Sandwich
Islands. It is well known to be job in the
interest of few sugar planters in the
Islands, who have thus far, through their
own mismanagement, lost money. The main
argument here Is, the people and their gov.
eminent Is SO friendly to ours, that If we
extend to them this class of favors they will
naturally drift into our possession. There is
much doubt whether these Islands would
not cost more than they are worth to own
them, and to this members do not seem to
have given attention. str. Allen Is very
hopeful he will secure favorable report from
the ways aud means committee some time
this week. There ia no moro reason for the
passage OF this treaty with the Hawaiian
Government than with any other foreign gov.
crnmnt. The cxtradition Ia made from
the interested motives that should be dis
countenauced, In interest of o class, and can.
not be Of any value to the country. The
Pacific sugar merchants will be driven. out of
the market.
