THE STTUA TTON

In Florida, as will be seen by our news
dispatches, is decidedly favorable for Til
den. The latest shows such proof as
must compel the State Board to find for
and declare that the Tilden Electors are
chosen. Some prominent Republican
papers seem already to accept the result.
In South Carolina the foul and tyrant
hand of President Grant is manifest.
United States troops were ordered to Co.
lumbia to obey the orders Of Governor
Chamberlain, and were used accordingly.
The N, Y. Herald has fairly abandoned
Grant, and demands his impeachment
for trampling upon the Constitution and
disregarding the law, thus violating his
oath of Office. That able journal gives
Wade Hampton high credit for preserv-
ing peace in South Carolina-not Grant
and Chamberlain.
The New York Evening Post, Hayes
organ, protests against the use of troops
in South Carolina, not only in the name
Of liberty and justice; but in behalf Of
the Republican party. 1t adds, the par
ty cannot sustain the responsibility OF
such measures,
In South Carolina the U. S. Circuit
Court and the State Supreme Court are
still in conflict over the members of the
Returning Board. The Republican House
is composed of SO members, only four OF
them white; the Democratic House are
65, one a Republican. The Democrats
have quorum, and must in time be rec
ognized, although the Secretary Of State
recognizes the other, and has handed
the negro speaker the election returns,
30 they may count in Chamberlain over
Hampton for Governor. The bayenets
arc there to sustain the usurpation.-
There seems to be no doubt that Tilden
has the State, as committee of Congress
will fully ascertain and establish.
In Louisiana, Wells, chairman of the
Returning Board, has announced they
will hearno testimony after Friday, when
the Board will 60 into secret session, and
will have till Wednesday, the 9th, to fix
things for Hayes.
On Tuesday evening a colored woman
was brought on the scene and was exam
ed. She related that she had been hor-
ribly mutilated, that her husband and
child were murdered by whites to intim-
idate the negroes from voting the Repub-
liean ticket. The case as related is hor-
rible as some of the Molly Mcguire out
RACES in Pennsylvania, which were con-
doned with pardons and money by lead
ing radicals in power. The Democrats
offered to prove this woman of bad char
acter, and to show that it was negro
quarrel, and that politics had nothing to
do with it. They were refused an oppor.
tunity to disprove the woman's story.
A few years ago negro in woman's
clothes swore before Republican Con-
gressional Committee in Memphis, to be-
ing outraged seventeen times by white
liners. A few months ago, on being ar
rested, the Court ordered four physicians
to examine as to the gender, when they
reported him masculine and not feml-
nine.
The Democratic members of the SEN
ate of South Carolina protest against re-
cognizing the Mackey House, and the
use of the military.

Reported Burning Of Gen. HamptOn's
Residence.

Residence.
Gen, Hampton's home, three miles
from this city, was burned on Friday last
duriug the night. The flames burst sim
ultaneously from all parts of the build
ing, and the Generals two sisters and
two young sons had only time to escape
with their lives. The libraries and arti-
cles of fvalue saved from the fire of 1865
(when Hampton's fathers home was
burned at the same time as his own
silver and clothing were all burned. The
ladies escaped, saving only their dressing
gowns, and Gen. Hampton has not sim
gle article of clothing except those he
had on. The only thing saved was bust
of Gen. Wade Hampton of the Revolu-
ton. The fire was the work of an incen-
diary. The General lodged in the city
that night. There was no insurance.

A GRAND SPEECH.

We can say no stronger word in com.
mendation of Senator Morton's speech than
the fact that We read it through care
fully for the purpose of cutting out and
publishing emily the best points, but after
close scrutiny we failed to find a single sen.
tenoe that could be dispensed with. 1t is
the grandest argument We have yet read.
1t seems to cover all the questions at issue.
There is not q line or a word in
the speech that does not have mean
ing. 1t should be read ty every
Republican, and every reasoning man in
the land. No honest man, after reading,
can have any excuse for not knowing that
it is his patriotic duty to vote for the repre-
sentatives Of the party of equal and exact
Justice to all men. We print it entire, in
the belief that it will do more good in our
State than any other document ever pub
lished. Senator Morton is one of the noblest
statesmen in the land.

papers. Self-protection requires that thi,
class be exposed. An instance of this kind
occurred in Sunday mornings Common
,redhh:
A. I. Callahan, a poor, drunken sot
whose life the past ten year, has been one
continued debauch, has been boasting upon
our streets for the past three or four days
that Levi Wilson and q. T. Anthony had
paid him S25 to write a letter to the Tope-
ka Commonwealth, lsuding q. T. Anthony
for Governor, praising Embry and his de-
funct Appeal, and denouncing the enemies
Of these two worthless.
We watched the Commonwealth Friday
and Saturday, and on Sunday we found a
three column article OF stuff from this ami
NAL, which thriyes like the buzard. One
half Of that correspondence was all bosh ;
the other half, the lowest slang and vul-
garity, utterly devoid even OF wit.
Ii Calakans statements are true, he has
made twenty five dollars. He has sold the
columns of the Commonwealth and received
the pay.
If Callahan has lied, We stand ready to
publish the denials of Wilson and Antho-
ny.
We publish this statement in order that
the Commonwealth and other papers may be
warned against similar frauds.

G.r.A. BADLY scooPED AGAIN.

The Fifteenth Representative District
composed OF Fairmount, Delaware, High
Prairie and Alexandria townships, held
their convention On Saturday, at Central
school house.
George I. Anthony was present in person,
TO help his candidate, o. S. Hiatt, as dele.
gate TO the State Convention. He asked
the privilege OF making speech, which
was granted.
There were sixteen votes in the conven'
ton, o. s. Hiatt received five votes, and
ID. \. Barnes eleven votes. ii. Brandt
Esq, was elected by the same vote.
In this district the delegates have been
counted As for Anthony for Governor. Nc
other candidate made any canvass OF the
district o. S. Hiatt has been riding
through the country, backed by the per-
sonal presence of q. T., but the people
were 30 strongly opposed to him for Gov
ernor, that he could not carry the delegates
although there was no opposition. 1t i:
understood that Barnes and Brandt will
vote for Halderman on first ballot.
The delegates elected to the Congressional
convention, are james Medill and Georg,
Stewart; both for Phillips.
The vote On Governor, in this county, il
now believed to stand az follows:
On the first ballot, John A. Haderman 8
S. A. Cobb 9; George I. Anthony i.
Two delegates are considered doubt
full; their preference is supposed
to be for Halderman, but under the in
fuences Of the whisky and railroad rings
they will most likely vote for Anthony
The fact that q. I. Anthony dared not rur
a ticket in the city, for himself, shows hi
weakness. In the three Districts where b,
did run a ticket, he was badly beaten
Halderman m made no effort. Had he worked
at all, he could have carried every District
in the county, except perhaps, the South
ern, which went for Cobb.
The unpopulariiy of e. T. Antheny in
this county, is very great. All the avail
able candidates for county Offices, unhesi
iatingly say they will not run if he is nom
mated. If nominated, this county will &c

supposed, may 60 for him, will, on second

from the States in the East. He arraigned
the war party as the most intolerant ever
known, a. corrupt, As the author of hard
times and desolation, as wholly responsible
for the war, and said that if the war should
be so prosecuted as to abolish our market
in the South by destroying the peculiar
system of labor in that section, he should
advise the Northwest to look out tor itself.
His favorite phrase was, "The restoration
of the Union on the basis Of the Constitu-
,ion," by which ne mes ut the preservation
of slavery, and giving it equal rights in all
the territories; and in referring to ,hi. in
-ubstque speech in the campaign, he
said

folly or wickedness Of the party in power,
then the mighty Northwest must take care

can have the spirit Of true reformer or be
governed by any other motive than the lust
of power.
Tilden and Hendricks we're both mem
bers Of the Chicago convention in 1864, held
in the midst Of the last great struggle with
the rebel army, when it was apparent that
the rebellion was doomed, unless rescued
from the Moth, and united in framing that
reasonable declaration that the war was a
failure and ought to be abandoned. That
declaration made At the time and under the
circumstance, was political crime Of the
fnt magnitude, and in any other country
in the world struggling with armed traitors
would have been punished as high trea-
son.
When greenbacks was first created a. a
war measure in 1862, they were violently
opposed by the entire democracy as uncon-
stitutional, which they held az to every-
thing calculated to help put down the re-
bellion. Mr.. Hendricks stated in 1853, that
the paper of the state banks was a better
currency, when he knew that the war could
not be carried On with that paper In 1867,
after the war was over, Mr.. Pendleton con-
ceived the idea of adopting the greenbacks
and issuing enough to pay the national debt.
This would at once repudiate the debt and
destroy the greenbacks, and kill off two of
the hated agencies in putting down the re-
bellion. Hendricks accepted this idea, and

are sufficient and that additional leyis.a-
ton may not be necessary, and whether in

doubted by many who are the earnest
friends OF specie payments. But what has
been done was honestly intended TO accom-
pli-h the great purpose, and when the ST.
Louis convention, and TildeD, and Hem
bricks pretend to be greatly in earnest
about specie payments, and denounce the
Republican party for not having brought
them about before, and demand the repeaI

fail utterly to point out any method of 10.
sumption, and talk only in empty plati-
tudes about resuming ''by public econo-

mem" We realize how utterly heartless, in
sincere, and ignorant they are about the
whole business. The platform and letters
are intended TO reconcile the hard d-money
men OF the east, who are emanding specie
payments at once, and the greenbsck men
OF the west, who are opposed to resumption
altogether, and every intermediate shade
and class of men believe that all the Others
are TO be cheated, and their wishes alone to
