THIS persistent claim of the Repub-
Iicans, despite the known and publish
ed results of returns showing Demo-
cratic majorities in Louisiana of 8, 100,
and in Florida of 1, 700, is an indication
that they mean to adopt some desper
ate measures to keep control of the
government, in spite of the vote of the
people, and it is this that has caused
the feverish and uncertain feeling
among the people.-LimG DemocoGt.
BLESS your innocence, bub, don't
you know that returns from each one
of those States have been published
showing Republican msiorities2 And
don't you know that ''this persistent
claim of then Democrats, ''despite the
known and published result of returns
showing" Republican ''majorities" sis
an indication that the" Democrats

had more sense than to give vent to
such silly shodomontade. You have
not yet heard a Republican talk about
refusing or resisting a transfer of the
govstnment to the Democracy in case
either of the States yet in doubt is off,
cially declared to have cast its vote for
Tilden. On the contrary, the Demo
cracy are the only ones that dare to
threaten difficulty, in case tine official
declaration of those States are not in
conformity with their wishes. In Fre-
mont, in Columbus, even here, and
doubtless in Lima, there are those who
have threatened to assassinate Hayes,

are in his favor; and who have been

Bad. VERY.

And now the Democracy wish they
hadn't discovered that postmaster
was voted for as a Hayes elector in
Vermont and Wisconsin,, or attempted
to make fuss about it. Their regret
has been brought about by the discov
cry, on the part of the Republicans,
that three or four of the Southern
Tilden electors, have never been re-
lieved of their disabilities" and are
therefore ineligible. And what is
worse they cannot resign their disabil-
tiles as the Hayes electors can their
postmasterships. We suggest to the
Democracy that they become IRE
signed to the situation. If their arg
ument is good for anything that these
postmasters were ineligible and there
fore certificates of election should be
given to the Tilden electors having
the highest votes, then it follows that
Republican electors must be furnished
with certificates in the place of those
disability" fellows. and we shall be
the gamers to the extent of several.
But as those disability fellows were
utterly ineligible votes cast for them
were thrown away, and certificates
must issue to the Republicans having
the highest votes. Courses. like young
chickens come home to their roost,
would fitly describe the situation of
these Democratic hoodlums.

In Virginia the Democracy resorted
to every possible tactic to defeat Jorg.
ensen for Congress in the Fourth Dis
trict. AT Reams' Station, a Demo
cratic Judge pretended to be sick, and
another Democratic Judge refused TO
SIT with the Republican one, who was a
negro. As a consequence the polls
were not opened. An appeal was
taken to the County Judge and he sent
another Republican, but it was SO late
when the appointment was made that
the polls could not be opened. At that
polls the Republicans have 200 major
ity, and that was the secret of the
whole matter. Let's have an honest
count. Yea, verify.

The following law, being section
1920, of Revised Statues of the United

special personal interest to the mem

throughout the South, to wit;
''If two or more persons in any State
or Territory conspire to prevent by
force, intimidation, or threat, any cit

We have seen in number of our
Democratic exchanges items like the
following:
We can not probably tell who will
bo our next President until it is deci-
ded by Congress. In all probability,
the Democracy will lose the three dis
puted States through a corrupt Re
turning board. although Tilden car
ried them all by handsome majorities.

ton to that; but don't rely on a bro

ance TO you. 1t cannot take a hand
in this matter. The Constitution
provides that
1.-The President of the Senate shall,
in the presence of the Senate and
House of Representatives, open all the
certificates, and the votes shall then
be counted; the person having the
greatest numt 81 of votes for President
shall be the President, if such number
be a majority of the whole lumber of
Electors appointed; and if no person
have such majority. then from the
persons having the highest numbers,
not exceeding three, on the list of
those voted for as President, the
House of Representatives shall choose
immediately, by ballot, the President"

of the Constitution. s.The President of

GIVE UsAN HONEST COUNT

This is the demand of the people all
over the country, and they are willing
to abide by it. 1t is also the cry of
the Democracy led by such men as
Kelly and Morrisey, men stepped to the
eyes in trickery, fraud and corruption.
Well, the way they expect to get an
honest count in Louisiana is by the
employment of SUE h means as shown
below. When the Returning Board of
Louisiana met, the first document laid
before them was sealed envelope ad-
dressed to Mr.. Wells. 1t was sent
through the city Postoffice aud its con-
tents were threats Of assassination If
the vote of the State was counted for
Hayes. 1t was signed "United Broth
erhood of Louisiana" and contained
the following morceau:
'We take upon ourselves the dCty
of redeeming louisa Ia, our native
State, from the thieves now pTeying
upon her PROSTATE, bleeding body.
We have appealed to our Northern
bretheren in vain. We now propose
to act, and teach her robbers and des
peradoes such lesson as the world
never saw. We will do our work and
disappear before the hordes of the des
pot Grant can protect you"

which is nothing more than saying, IL
the sight of the Senate and House,
and read SO will make equally good
sense Well what shall he dol "open
all the certificatesi' Well, what next
land the votes s,.all then be counted.
Who byl Evidently by the President
of the Senate; he is the only one
recognized as having authority to
"open the certificates" end no other
officer is mentioned in hat connection.
Well what shall result from the count
ingl ''Tbe person having the greatest
number of votes for President, shall be
President, If such number be mGjori
ty Of the tChole number Of Electors ap-
pointed" But when has Congress, or
the House, anything to do With the
matter Only when, no person has
such majority Then, howl Then
from the persons having the highest
number of votes, not exceeding three, "
it ''shall choose Immediately, by ballot,
Il President" And that is all Con-
gress or the House has to do with the
matter.
In the present exigency only two
persons have received any electoral
votes. There cannot be a tie because
the number of electors is odd. One
must have received a majority, and
that one the President of the Senate
will declare elected and he ''slaH be
the President"
Those Revolutionary Democratic
members of the House, who declare
they will defeat the inauguration
of Hayes, by refusing to be present
with the Senate, are Hotspurs who
never stop to think. Let us suggest
any idea for their benefit. Suppose
the above clause of the Constitution
had read 1.-THE President of the Senate
shall, in the presence of the people of
the United States" &C., would any
body be so foolish as to expect all the
people of the United States to get
together in one place in
order that that clause might not be
violated. Scarcely. Its meaning then
would be sin the sight Of" or in the
presence of all who would take the
pains to be present And that is all
there is in this clause. 1t does not re-
quire that all the Senators or all the
Representatives shall be present. The
Senate is legal quorum and SO of
the House, and even if it required
these bodies in their legal capacities to
be organized, it is quite likely quorum
could be found of each body without
appealing to the Hotspur5 Of either.
That is the case as it now stands ex-
actly. Under the 22d rule, about
which there has been so much talk,
it would not have been different. If
either House had rejected State on
account of frauds, it would not have
thrown the election into the House,
for then certainly, although one might
have majority, lie "would not have
a majority of the whole number of
Electors" 1t would be tantamount
to declaring the election off, for the
House could not in that case elect
and the Vice President would act as
President despite all tie fussing and
fuming of disappointed malignants.
The 22d joint rule has however, no ex-
istence, and the course to be pursured
would be emphatically as the Consti-
tuition has provided.

DREW, of Mississippi, chairman of
the Republican executive Committee,
evidently appreciated the situation of
affairs. when he telegraphed to Gen.
James A. Garfield, and those with him
of both parties, an invitation to go to
Mississippi and investigate the frauds
there. II would cap the climax now
if Cornell, of New York, would tele-
graph them to come and investigate
the frauds in that corrupt city.

sanguinary and vindietive as to ''thank
God, all the Wilkes Boothes are not
dead" You never heard Republican
threaten to assassinate Tilden in case
those States declare fo- him; nor will
you. Yet the government is in our
hands, and if there were any such coil
intents in our hearts they might easily
be made realities. But such is not the
way in which Republicans win victor
les or retain power. Threats will not
win. They did not in 1861 nor will
they sixteen years later, and it is well
enough for these folks to know now,
that if Hayes receives the officia. vote
of the States yet unannounced, he will
be inaugurated, and any resistance to
law or rebellion which may result will
be speedily and effectually quelled.

HAYES majority on the popular vote
of the Northern States, those States
which stayed by the countryin its hour
of danger,-is over aquartef of mil
lion. The Democracy may claim a
majority for Tilden on the popular
vote, but it is unfortunate for them
that that majority is obtained in the
States that were in rebellion, and in
part of which the white line policy
was the only thing that did it. Given
q fair and free election, the people of
Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia
alone, would turn the scales and give
Hayes majority of the entire popu-
lar vote.
