REMARKS BY THE ARGUS.

The Age certainly is wild in its estimate
Of the people of Illinois. They are, as far
as we can learn, with only here and there
an exception, in favor Of reducing the
enormous volume of our inflated and de-
preciated paper carrency to specie value
currency, and to the needs Of commerce.
The Independent party, in this county, in
county convention, on the 3rd day Of June
1874, with L. d. Edwards in the chair and
A. G.. Stevens as secretary. unanimously
adopted the following:
ResOICed That we approve of the course Of
President Grant IN refusing his sanction to the
rency; that opposed 10 any further issue o
inconvertible paper, and i'll favor of return t(
specie payments.
No member of the independent party il
this county has changed his mind on tina
question, that we are aware of, and WI
doubt ifa dozen men can be found in thu
county who approve of the wild vagarie>
of S, NJ, Smith or his initiation and repu
diation ideas. We publish the call for tn
Independent convention, but we protes
against any further initiation an
debasement of our already debase
currency, or any Reputation of The obliga
tons of the country to it's creditors.

Call for an Independent State Conven


The call for an Independent state con-
vention for Illinois will be found in another
column. 1t is called for the 10th of Feb
ruary,
1t is hoped that every Independent
voter in the state will now take hold of
this matter, and make it his personal bust
ness to contribute to the harmonious sue
cess Of the convention and of the ticket
which shall be nominated by it.
The Independents can elect governor
of Illinois if they choose to unite ard work
for it, but neither that nor anything else
can be accomplished if we all sit down and
depend for some one else to perform the
necessary labor,
1t is hoped that full meetings will DC
held in every county, and that such men
will be sent to the convention as will en-
able it to give no uncertain sound in re.
gard to the current questions of the day
Nine-tenths Of the people of Illinois are
opposed to the specie contraction policy Of
President Grant, and as there is no differ
ence between the Republican and Demo
cratic parties in this respect, there is M
course left for the people but to unite il
this movement,
The convention has been called at thi
time not only for the purpose of nominal
ing state officers, but also to nominate del
egates to the national convention to b,
held in indianapolis. The call for thi
state convention has already struck terro
to the hearts Of our opponents, who have
been caucussing on the streets in Chicag
ever since the call appeared, in the en-
deayor to ascertain what the thing al
means -Mjcago Industrial Age.

Independent State Convention,

The Independent voters of the state of Illinois
are hereby requested TO send delegates to repre-
sent them IN State Convention TO be held in the
city Of Decatur, February IL, 1876, beginning at 10
O'Clock A. N. for the purpose OF nominating can
didates for the Offices OF Governor LieutenantGov-
ernor Treasurer, Secretary of State, Auditor, and
Attorney General; also to select fortywo delegates
TO represent the Independent party of Illinois In
the National Independent Convention, called TO
meet at the city OF Indianapolis Indiana May 1856
for the purpose Of nominating candidates for Presi
dent and Vce-President and to transact such other
business may properly come before said conven
ton.
The basis of representation in said convention
will be as follows: One delegate for each county
in the state, and for every 1900 population OF
major fractional part Of that number
II is evident that the great producing masses car
place no confidence in either OF the old parties,
they exist 1t hoped, therefore, that the grea
body OF the people without regard to past partisan
distinctions, will promptly take measures to be full
ly represented in the convention, and thus show
their so called political leaders and would be mas
tiers, that they tired of egalized injustice anC
robbery In the name of party
All who opposed to forcible specie contraction
and financial ruin will be welcomed

REGARDGGss OFF CONSEQUENCES

The South Carolina Retaining Board
has followed the e6vice OF Zach
Chandler, Secretary Of the Interior.
and Chairman of the Republican
National Committee, and counted
Hayes Electors in at all hazards. They
have not stopped at that, even; but, in
the face of peremptory order of the
Supreme Court TO the contrary, have
issued certificates of election to Cham
berlain and all the candidates on the
Republican State and Legislative
tickets. AS pretext for this revolu-
tionary act they exclude the vote of
two Democratic counties--Edgeield and
Laursns - upon the mere suspicion
that there had been intiEaidation in
some precincts an these counties on
election day, notwithstanding the we'll
known fact that United States troops
were stationed at ell important pre-
'cincts in the State during the election.
It is now very evident that the
electoral votes of the three dispntad
carpet bag governed States of the South
will be given to Hayes, SO far as the
Canvassing Boards have power TO dis
pose of them, and it renaains for the
Courts and Congress to decide who is
Justly entitled to them. The votes of
these States with those about which
there is no doubt will give Hayes a
majority of one in the Electoral Col
3ege; yet neither candid Republicans
nor Democrats Will feel satisfied that he
is legally entitled to be President. For
two or three days after election there
were no reports of intimidation in any
of the Southern States, but the moment
it was ascertained that the choice of
President depended upon the action of
the Canvassing Boards of South
Carolina. Florida, and Louisiana the
cry of intimidation was raised to give a
pretext for excluding sufficient of the
vote OF Democratic 90 untiestoe give those
States to Hayes. This programme
has been carried out in South Caro-
lima by revolutionary act of the Board
and there is now scarcely doubt but
that Florida and Louisiana will follow
suit. This will give the certified votes
of those States to Hayes, and it will
then depend upon the two Houses of
Congress whether an investigation
with power to review the action of the
Boards shall be had to determine who
IS legally entitled to the votes of those
States. 1t is to be hoped that wise
counsels will prevail, and that no at
tempt will be made to inaugurate as
President of the United States a candi.

OUR ENEMIES TACTICS.

gentleman writing to US from Iowa gives
rather gloomy account Of the condition Of
sentiment Of the people of that and other
States in the Northwest and North. Ee is IN
ardent lover of the whole country, Northern
man by birth and residence, but he sees and
feels deeply the grievous wrongs and injustice
which have been heaped upon the South aad
her people since the war.
He says the country is filed with secular
and religious newspapers that are doing all
in their power to revive and Keep alive all the
bitter animosities engsndered by the war,
and that the people for the most part read
and swallow all the slanderous reports con-
cernipg the South, and never see, are never
permitted to see the truth. They are taught
to believe that the country is in imminent
danger Of overthrow by the Southern people,
aided by the Northern Democrats, and that
the only way to prevent such catastrophe is
to vote the Radical ticket.
We are afraid there is too much truth in
this and we are quite certain that our enc
mics, the enemies Of the country and Of the
Constitution, intend to leave no stone I'M
turned to fan into fierce fame the almost
extinguished embers Of sectional hate, for the
purpose of making desperate effort to hold
on to the power which they have SO long and
so grossly misused.
The coming campaign will be the most mo-
mentous that has ever occurred in the history
of this government, and We can form some
idea Of what the magnitude and bitterness Of
the struggle will be when We reflect upon the
immense interests the Radicals have at stake,
and remember that defeat for them means ab-
solute humiliation. The Radical giant will
struggle fercely, and it may be that he may
prolong his infamous life little longer, but
his doom is sealed, and sooner or later he will
be overthrown and crushed by that avenging
Nemesis-the people.
