suits would have been peaceably and quiet
ly reached that have taken place in all the
other southern states. Moreover, it is en-
tirely owing to an act of lawiess power
exerted by President Grant, that this
Louisiana returning board is now in exist
ence, and in situation to do what there
is abundant reason to fear it may do.
When such men have been kept in official
power by truly arbitrary and lawless
interference by the federal executive, it
would be very extraordinary indeed if they
did not believe that anything they may
choose to do will be accepted by the same
power as the thing to be enforced.
Whatever may be the issue out of this,
the people of the United States are now
keenly feeling the humiliation of being
obliged to hope that a set of men, main
tanned in their usurped authority by Pres
idevt Grants unlawful interference, will
not impeIil the peace of the union by a
fraud. Tothis issue we have come at last,
that everything seems to be at the mercy,
and everything to be in the power, of the
man who regards troops as the great
panacea for all difficulties But our re.
lance is upon the public opinion of the
whole country. The institutions of this
country are mot destined to be broker

A Square Look at the Crisis.

What a spectacle does this country now
present to the world The question
whether majority of the presidential
electors has been appointed by the one or
the other of the two parties, through the
popular votes OF the several states, turns
upon the official count in Florida, Louisi-
ana and South Carolina. In Louisiana,
the final counting is in the hands of a
board whose notorious history renders it
impossible for confidence to be felt in its
integrity Prominent men are Fastening
to New Orleans to beseech this board to
be honest. President Grant beseeches
them to be honest; and at the same
time he sends more troops, to do what2
PrOfessedly, to protect them in the dis
charge of their duties. But to protect
them against what?
The idea that they are in danger of be-
ing compelled by violence to commit a
fraud in the interest of the Democratic
party, is simply nonsense. The only
danger in the case is that they may be
wicked enough to commit fraud in the
interest Of the Republicans. Against this,
all the troops in the world can afford
them no protection. IF their consciences
are so scared, il they are such plant tools
in the hands of Zach Chandler, that they
can be induced to make false count of
the popular votes so as to give the certif-
cate of election to the Republican electors
when it ought to be given to the Demo-
cratic electors, the presence of United
States troops, acting under the orders OF
Grant, will be an encouragement to them
do what they might otherwise shrink from
doing
Ii the result of their action, when COM
pared with the actual condition of the
popular vote, shall lead to the belief that
they have defrauded the Democratic cleo
tors of their rights, the public confidence
cannot be enhanced, but it must be dimin.
ished, by the interference Of Grant with a
force which can have no possible tendency
but to make them feel sure of immunity
whatever they may do. The presence o.
respectable and leading men from Other
states may be useful in gathering the
proofs which may hereafter have to be
laid before the nation in respect to the
true condition of the popular vote in thu
different parishes. But if the crime tina
is now feared is t0 be committed, it is Il
be committed AS the result of a predeter
mined plot, against which all the influence
that can be brought to bear by appeals t
their honesty will be so much bTeati
thrown away.
In the meantime, it is not inopportunt
to remember to what we owe this extraor
binary and dangerous condition of things
In which it has become necessary to APP
peal to board Of official canvassers not L
commit fraud that will throw the who!
country into state OF the utmost peril
Had there been no interference with tn
southern elections from Washington, it i
morally certain that in the states of Flor

Kellogg's Rascally Operations.

The New York Tribune Almanac, pub
lished in 1875, has this significant com :
ment instead of the figures of the election
IN Louisiana:
THE attention of the whole country has
been fixed on the rascally operations of
KellogRs so-called returning board, which
does not permit the will Of the voters of
the state to have effect. II is well known
that the Conservatives carried the state in
November by large majority, but the
result Of the election is not officially an
nounced."
The intent of "Kellogg's rascally oper-
ations" now lis to count the vote of the
state of Louisiana for Grants candidate,
and there is no doubt this purpose will be
perseyered in if it appears likely to be sue
cessfui in electing Hayes There is no
doubt the state of Louisiana is Democratic
to-day, and it certainly was in 1872 and in
1874, and there is no question but that a
full and free vote of the people and fair
count will show this fact.

Grants Usurpation.

Amazing as General Grants Louisiana
commission is, and amazing as is his order
to the troops to count the votes in Florida.
we are lrather inclined-to think that he
honestly means to ''see fair" in this bust
ness. Nobody asked him to see fair, and
it was none of his business to see fair, but
it is very possible he means to do it. The
whole performance is so amazingly.chuckle
headed that it should be honest. Clearly
he took no counsel about his order, or
somebody would have pointed out to him
that he was committing an act of usurpa-
ton and an Improbable offense. As
clearly, nobody advised him about his
commission. 1t bears the exact impress
of General Grants mind. Nobody could
have helped him to do it. He may have
been reminded of Kellogg by running
across him casually in Philadelphia; but
when a man has got himself into that con-
dition OF mind that he thinks the report of
Logan on a contested election will have
any weight with anybody, he is capable of
anything. This is one of those wonderful
bursts of political energy which we have
been used TO having from General Grant
ever since he has beeL in the political
arena" 1t occurred to him that it would
be a good thing to send troops down to
Florida to run the election, and that while
he was about it he would send somebody
TO New Orleans to satisfy the public mind
about Kelloggs count What very
possibly did not occur to him was, that
thereby he was turning the government Of
the United States into an absolute
monarchy; but that trihing circumstance
will shortly be brought to his notice.

Remembering that Frank Blair said that
Grant would never leave the White House
until he was carried out, feet fist, the
Ioloa City Daily Press says:
The action Of General Grant in order
ing the army to supervise elections and
TO the level of the flea bitten governments
on the Musketo coast. 1t is revolutionary.
1t is intended to back up another such in
fanny in Louisiana as in 1872 nullifed a
Greeley majority Of 10000 and counted it
Grant majority of 10000.
In that year the presidential result was
not changed and the outrages done by the
Lynch returning board were for more To-
cal object, TO elect the fugitive Kellogg
governor. This time the Lynch board
brings its talents to bear upon a reversal
of returns which affect the election of
president, and it was proposed by the
presidents brOther-in-law, EJim. Casey,
publicly in Washington last Saturday, that
the board shall count in" Mr.. Hayes,
and Grant orders the army to oversee the
process and bayonet the people who pro-
test against it,
We wait, in perfect calmness, the re-
suit If the infamy is accomplished we
will have somewhat to say OF the duty Of
submission or revolt, for these are ques
tons that every citizen of this Republic
must face.
In 1860 JEFF. Davis attempted 10 uullify
the election of a president If in 1876
Grant attempts the same thIng,is there any
reason why he should not meet the same
fate?

a married couple up in ChillicOthe de-.

young ladies and gentlemen, with well
filed baskets, made their. appearance
before the house about 9 o'clock. AS
they came up to the door they saw the
gentleman standing in the alleyway
with his overcoat on, smoking a cigar,
and the parlor was all lighted up. This
struck them, as rather singular, but
the leader grabbed the dOor.kn0b, and
they rushed hilariously in. The gas
was burning brightly, and six digni-

The Buddha's Answer.

There came to the Buddha, one day, Il
woman who had lost her only child.
She was wild with grief, and with dis.
consulate cries and sobs called frantic
ally upon the prophet to give back her
little one to life. The Buddah gazed
on her long, and, with that tender
sympathy which drew all hearts to
him, replied, go, my daughter, bring
me a mustard seed from house into
which death has never entered, and
will do as thou hast hidden. The wO.
man took up the dead child and began
her search. She went from house to
house, saying, "Give me a mustard
seed, kind friends, a mustard seed for
the prophet to revive my child And
they gave her what she desired. And
when she had taken it she inquired :
''They are all gathered around the
hearth here, father, mother, and the
children; is it not so! They are sound
in health's bloom!'' But the people
would shake their heads mournfully.
And far as she wandered, through
town and village, in the crowded thor.
Oughfare and by the lonely roadside,
she met the same experience still.
There was ever a vacant seat by the
hearth though all were gathered.
Then gradually, as she went on, the
outbursts of her grief abated, and the
meaning of the Buddah' S words dawned
upon her mind. Gradually, as she
learned to know the great sorrow of
the race everywhere around her, her
heart, ceasing to dwell on it's own
selfish pang, went out in strong yearn-
ing to the companions of her suffer-
ing.
The tears of her pity fell free and
fast, passion slowly melted away in
compassion. From passive suffering
she turned to active helping, sought
redemption by redeeming. She had
learned the highest virtue which the
Buddha taught, maitri, the conscious
ness of wide fellowship, the love OF
mankind, the perfect remuneration OF
self in behalf of the eternal interests
Calm, answering self.control to avoid
pain, acts of sympathy to tighten pain
such was the Buddha's answer to thu
great question of the origin and de
struction of suffering. These were the
two solid pillars of his church. If HI
had paused there he would have exhi
bited to the world an example of com
bined soberness and enthusiastic ideal
ism nowhere transcribed in human
history. But his faith in the doctrine
of the transmigration compelled hin
to pass the limits which his strong
ethical sentiment seemed to prescribe
into a nebulous beyond. This present

chain of existence. OF what advantage
Hs.it, thern, to destroy the suffering
of to-day, if, in the ceaseless cycle o.
new births, that suffering is destined
endlessly to recur! To be a true de
liverer, the prophet said, l must, fret
men from the fear of resurrection
teac h them to battle fate. With thu
end of existence alone can come thu
end of pain. Hence arose the mystic
doctrine of Nirvana-the third of. tn,
great principles on which the Buddhist
system rests. ~. t,,.ot. + ~.
