he Davidson Record SAWS ::

The Davidson Record says:
We have information that the pro-
posed Constitutional Amendments are
growing in favor with the people daily.
The more they are discussed, the bet
ter the people like them, and the pros
pect is that they will be ratified by a
large majority of the people of this
county, in spite of the efforts of n few
selfconstituted would~be leaders, who
are industriously seeking, by misrep-
resentation and false cries to frighten
honest Republicans away from sup-
porting thsse amendments. We beg
the honest, tax-paying masses of all
parties to watch these men and not al
low them, by appeals to passion and
prejudice, to blind you to the great
value of these amendments. Why
should we not adopt these amend
ments, now that we have the chance,
and save hundreds of thousands, even
millions of dollars for ourselves and
our children

The bridges crossing the Thames
for general purposes in London are
the following: Battersea, Vauxhall,
Waterloo, Blackfriars, South wark, and
London Bridge, which is the last
toward the sea. all ocean steamers and
large vessels being compelled to an
chor below. 1t is now proposed to
build another bridge across the river,
just below the Tower. and about a
quarter of mile below London Bridge,
ut cost estimated at nearly 81. .5OO,-
600. Hampton Court Bridge, the last
on the Thames on which tolls are
levied, has been thrown open free to the
public, the tolls having been extin-
guished forever by public outlay of

OF all the Senators who voted for
the acquittal of Belknap only one
dared to say he believed the evidence
insufficient to prove the charges Of
corruption and bribery. The others
contented themselves with the plea
that the Senate had not Jurisdiction to
try Belknap after the President had
accepted his resignation. The verdict
of the Senate was substantially
''Guilty, guilty of Bribery and Cor
ruption but saved from punishment bv
President Grant" But what verdict
this was after the Senate had formally
declared that it did have jurisdiction
to try the man and actually did try
him!
Commenting upon Belknap's acquit-
tai. the New York Times. Radical
though it be, is forced to say:
/ We have little patience to discuss
the consequence of yesterdays pro-
ceedings with reference to the ReDub-
lican party; but as all the Senators
voting for the acquital were Repubii>
cans but one, and as all but one of
these Republicans voted on professed
grounds purely technical, it may be as
we'll to point out that, whether they
meant it or not, they have put a for
midable weapon in the hands of their
opponents. The Democrats will assert
that Belknap was proved guilty, and
no one can deny it; that he escaped
punishment by technicality through
Republican votes, aud this is true:
that Republican President added to.
if he did not furnish, this Opportunity
of escape by accepting his resignation,
and no one can contradict it. Against
all of which we can only offer this i'm
posing spectacle of twenty-four Re-.
publican Senators standing by their
consciences, in despite of what might
happen to their party or their country.
If anyone has the audacity to object
that in the case of some of the Sena.
tors, their conscience::is not of so con-
spicuously just and highly trained q
sort that the country can rely on it as
implicitly as the Senators themselves
claim to have done, we shall be sorry.
but we cannot much blame the oE-

the Presidency of the United States
during the next four years. are, as is
we'll known, Samuel j. 1iiden,' the
Governor of New York, and Rnther
ford B. Hayes, the, Governor of Ohio.
1t is the duty of every citizen to Cas- t
his vote for one of these gentlemen
and to consider well the effect which
that vote may have upon the future
condition of the country. In order to
do this something must be known Uf
of the characters of the respective can
d,dates. OF one very little need be
written. Governor Tilden is known
through. the length aud breadth of the
laud. His work vin the gubernatOrlal
chair of New York, has rendered his
name n synonym for political honesty
and uprightness. No one has any
doubt that in whatever position of
trust and responsibility he may bc
placrd, he will give strict account OF
the stewardship with which he
has been intru.ted. His work
with the New York rings is an
earnest of what he will do with the
Washington rings, when elected to
occupy the White House, as there can
be no doubt he will be. He will purify
The government, and drive out the
thieves and scoundrels which now in
fest it's every corner, as we'll as the
larger but equally unclean animals
that enjoy more openly the smiles and
protection of the chiet. His success
is assured from the fact that he is
vigorously opposed, without regard to
party, by every man who has proited,
or is willing to profit, by political per-
fidy and dishonesty. They know that
his advent to power will be the death
signal for them and their detestable
practices, and they therefore by the
most bitter and INSCRIPTIONS opposi-
tion do all they can to defeat him and
to elect their own candidate.
And who is this Governor Hayes,
the candidate of the corruptionists !?
He has occupied some public posi-
tions. He has been member Cf Con-
gress, and is now the Governor of an
influential State. Yet he has made no
mark by which the people may know
| him. He has shown himself to be a
man of very commonplace abilities,
without sufficient character to raise his
voice in apprehension of the villanies
which must have been offensive to
him. He has not sufficient stamina to
make stand now in opposition to
public corruption, ard refuse the as
sistance of men known to be political
thieves and plunderers. He may wish
to see things better, but, however
strong the desire might be. he would, ii
elected, be unable to insure its &C.
complishment, hampered as he would
be by the Rndical leaders through
whom the various details of his work
would. have to be accomplished. The
Camerons, the Blaines, the Mortons.
the Conklings, the Chambers and the
Shepherds would work the machine in
their own manner. and we we'll know,
by the history of the past eight years,
what their methods are. In Office he
would be nothing, and could be moth.

which elects him His work would

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-04-12
The Recent Elections.

The election in Rhode Island yesterday
resulted in an increased plurality for Lip
pitt and the election of the Republican can
didate for Secretary of State by over II 900.
many Republicans voted for the prohibi-
ton candidates. But the returns show an
increase Of Republican votes and Demo
cratic falling of. 1t is the lesson Of Con-
necticut and New Hampshire repeated with
variations. In spite of all the exposures of
Republican misdeeds and the disgrace Belk-
nap and others have brought upon the
party, the people still adhere to it and
show no disposition to unite with the De-
mocracy. The latter have bad name with
the people. They are suspected. They
have done nothing to gain public conf
dence Their investigations in Congress
have hurt their opponents without helping
them, Their determination to push for
ward old Bourbons, regardless of the public
prejudice against them, wherever they have
the power to do, destroys public confidence
in them, and their manifest sympathy with
unreconstructed Confederates fills Northern
men with dismay. IT they had the average
political sagacity they would see that their
oniy hope Of success in the coming presi-
dental contest is by changing their party
name and platform, or through the blum
ders of their opponents. OF course it the
Republicans make fools of themselves at
Cincinnati the Democrats will have
chance; but q party that depends on the
blunders Of its enemies for capital has a
dreary outlook. TIE Republicans have the
name, vigorous and welImanaged Organi-
cation, the prestige of repeated euccessee,
and the support Of powerful leaders who
still have public confidence, though they
have made bad mistakes. On the currency
question too. they have the decided I'D.
vantage Of the Democrats. No jnfstionist
can carry the doubtful Northern States on
which the contest will hang, and on the
hard money issue the Republicans have the
strongest hold on public confidence and the
best record. If the Democratic leaders
have the sagacity and courage to organize
. new departure they may alter the entire
political outlook; but they have done
nothing % yet to show that they are equal
to such strstegy.-Neo Yerk Graphic.
