THE MESSAGE.

The President addressed his Annual.
Message to Congress on Tuesday.
While his intended avoidance of any
reference therein to the present polit-
cal complications may have been dis
appointment to many of his personal
and political supporters who hoped to
have from him a definite expression of
the policy to be pursued by the Admin
istration in the present political emer-
gencv, vet no merely verbal assurance
is necessary of his intention to main
tain the authority of the Government
in the States which the Democrats now
menace with bloodshed and anarchy
Were General Grant President of the
Buchanan type, we might, instead of
bold vindication of the principles for
which he fought as soldier, expect
only weak and vacillating policy wien
the peace of the country is threatened
by reckless political conspirators. But
no men know better than they, the stuff
of which Gen. Grant is made But for
his prudent forethought and determina-
ton to preserve the public peace, long
ere this would have been received the
Intelligence of riot and bloodshed in the
Southern States.
Gen. Grant discusses, in his Message,
ably and inteligently governmental af-
fairs, reviews the difficulties which be-
set his Administration at the outset,
and speaks like candid and honest
soldier as he is, of his lack of "pre-
vious political training" upon his as
suming his duties as President. When
he asserts that he has acted in every
instance from a conscientious desire to
do what was right, constitutional,
within the law and for the very best
interests of the whole people," he makes
a statement that no falr-mlnded oppo-
nent of his policy can for moment
doubt
1t appears probable that so soon as
in the Judgment of the President it
seems necessary, he will transmit to
Congress a special Message discussing
the political situation, and particularly
the condition Of political and social af-
fairs in the South We are not dis
posed to cavil, because the President
DELAYS this Message, doubtless for more
complete information on such import
ant subjects We believe he fully COM
prehends the necessities of the situa-
ton. and will act with his. usual good
sense and undisputed courage.

IT HAS been truly said, that it is the

of having right on his side, can afford
to wait the development of events.
During the present Presidential excite
ment the only threats of violence have
come from the Democratic side No
respectable paper in the interest of
Hayes and Wheeler has even intimated
a desire to see them returned otherwise
than honestly and justly elected. What

Piles of justice and right as he is for the
success of his party The brag and

DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL TACTICS
are strikinglv illustrated in the case of
the State of Nebraska, where, upon
technical point raised, the attempt was
made to defeat the will of the people of
the State, although expressed by ma
ioritv of fifteen hundred votes. The
new Constitution Of this State, adopted
in 1878, requires that the votes for
Presidential electors shall be canvassed
by the Legislature. 1t also specifies
that the first Legislature hereunder
shall meet in January, but the laws of
the United States require, that the cleo
tors in the several States shall meet on
the first Wednesday in December to
vote for President and ice-President.
This difficulty, however, was not dis
covered until after the November cleo
ton After consulting the best author
itv, as to the situation, the Governor of
the State issued his proclamation con-
vening an extra session of the Legis-
lature, which met on Tuesday last
As soon as the proclamation appeared,
the Democrats, selecting the only court
in the State presided over by Demo
cratic Judge, filed petition asking that
the Republican electors be enjoined
from casting their vote for electors on
Wednesday. On the hearing of the
Injunction case, it was dissolved and
the Legislature having quorum pres
ent on Tuesday, canVassed in joint con-
Tention the electoral vote, which, on

Gov. CHAMBERLAIN was inaugurated
Governor of South Carolina, in the
State House, at Columbia, on Thursday.
He delivered short but vigorous adj
dress, announcing his determination to
defend his rights and authority in the
Office to which he has been reelected,
and counsellfng no surrender to the
opposition. The Democrats seem to
have been taken by surprise by this
movement, and developed no signs of
activity except the assembling of the
Hampton wing of the Legislature, and
its calling on Gen. Ruger to remove the
troops from the State House in order
that it may enter and take possession.

THE STATE DECLARED FOR HAYES BY A MA
JoRITY OF OVER 4, 600.
The Louisiana Returning Board, after
being continuously in session for nearly
eighteen hours, concluded the canvass of
the Presidential vote, on Tuesday. and did
their duty under the law fearlessly, faith
Iully, and well. Right and justice have
triumphed in spite of threats, fraud, vio-
lence, and murder, AND Rutherford B
Hayes will receive the Electoral vote of
this State by majority of 1000. The
majority for the lowest Elector is 3435,
and for the highest 1867. The result has
been Obtained by the strictest adherence to
the law, and by the throwing out of only
such polls as were proved beyond all ques-
ton to have been controlled by violence or
fraud. The msprint tickets, which bore
the names of only part of the Hayes Elec-
tors, were only counted for those candi
dates whose names appeared on them; hence
the difference between the vote for the high
est and lowest Elector. The State Legis-
lature will be Republican by majority of
"a on joint ballot, the majority in the
House being 90, and in the Senate 4. This
secures the election of two Republican
United States Senators, one to fill the seat
made vacant by the expiration of Mr..
Vests term, and the other to serve for two
years in place of Pinchback, whose cleo
ton was declared illegal. The gentleman
elected in Vests place will serve for six
years. Gov. Kellogg isa prominent can
didate for the position. The Congressional
delegation will be four Republicans and
two Democrats.

The Electoral Colleges of the several States
met, OH Wednesday last, according to law,
and voted for the candidates for President
and Vice President as the members had
severally been elected to vote. Vacancies
were filled in several of the colleges, both
Democratic and Republican. The result is
that Rutherford b. Hayes and William A.
Wheeler have received the lS5 votes neces
sary to election. Several attempts were
made to defeat the will of the people, nota
bly, III Louisiana, South Carolina and Ore
gon. Bribery was the method employ ed in
the two former States, and a conspiracy,
to exclude Republican elector was the
method resorted to in the st-named State.
When the name of Judge Levisse was called
i'll the Louisiana electoral college, he
i'll his place and said:
MR. CHAIRMAN:-Beforec casting my vote
| desire to Inform this meeting and these
spectators, that | have been offered one hun
dred thousand dollars to give my ballot to the
Democratic candidate, Samuel }. Tllden.
| have refused that offer. however | deem
it better that the Republican candidates
should be elected than that | should re-
ceive 500 600. therefore cast my bal
lot for Rutherford b. Hayes and William
A. Wheeler.
In South Carolina one of the electors was
approached with the offer of a bride of
$40, 600 if he would cast his vote for Til
den and Hendricks. Security in four times
the amount 40, 900 being offered. In the
State of Oregon, however, the most dcs-
perate game was played to secure the mss
ing elector for Tllden. The Democratic
Governor refused a certificate to the Re
publican elector Watts selected by his
colleagues after his resignation upon a dis
puted question of disqualification to fill his
own vacancy, aud issued a certificate to
Cronin, a Democrat. The Republican elec
tors, of course, refused to recognize Cronin,
and threw the electoral vote Of the State
for Hayes and Wheeler. In Missouri the
Democrats rejected the theory acted on in
Oregon. When The Missouri electors met,
it was discovered that two of them were
absent, one of them Frost being 1lSquali-
fled. His Democratic colleagues proceeded
to fill the vacancy in both cases, against
the protest of the Republicans who in
sisted that the Democrats should "stick -
to the announced Democratic idea carried
ont by Grover, the usurping Governor of
Oregon. This they refused to do. and I'LL
ing the racdncieS IA right denied in Oregon,
the whole vote Of the college was thrown
for Tilden. The policy of the Democrats
being to keep up the Presidential excite
ment as long as possible. We may expect
the continued agitation of the public mind
by every means the Lower House Of Con
gress can devise, until the actual Inaugural

A REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRAT.

If the passing inquiry were made of
any intelligent Democrat, "Who is
Charles O'Conner? he would doubtless
reply, That Mr.. O'Conncr is one Of
the most gifted and polished lawyers
of the New York bar. That lac is an
Irish-American gentleman Of the old
school, courteous in his language, re-
fined i'll his expression and manners,
and although in his political opinions
very decided Democrat, yet man who
never forgets his seli-rcspect, or de-
scends to the level Of the vulgar part-
san" And he would truly state Mr..
O'Conner'a reputation. Holding these
ideas of the man. it is a difficult mat
ter to accept the letter recently addressed
by him to Western lawyer as indica-
tive of the "true inwardness of so rep
resentative Democrat AS a contri-
button to current political literature it

been the subject of much unfavorable
comment by men of all parties. The
letter is a suggestive one and exhibits
phases of human nature not calculated
to inspire respect or challenge admira-
ton We expect vulgarity in the ignor-
ant and rude COarSenpSS in the de-
based and unrefned, but are unpre-
pared for it in the heightened, courtlv,
and educated gentleman. Its produc-
ton cannot be reconciled with any SOBER
view of Mr.. O'Conners character, and
we are forced to accept it as fresh
proof that education, association or at
tainment do not of themselves elevate
men above THE LEVEL OF THEIR Ma
TuREs. AS specimen of arrogance
and political violence, it stamps its au-
thor as an unmtie gated demagogue in
politics, whatever other claims he NAV
possess for a higher estimate of his
character If Charles O'Conner can
forget he is gentleman, he must not
complain that others will claim the
same privilege
