Between the People and the
MauaRers'

When the wisest Of modern Massa>
chusetts statesman said that this Pres
idential contest was between
the people and the managers" he was
wiser than he knew. No doubt he
pected, as all other good citizens ex-
pected, that when the great conflict
had been once decided, the issue
would be accepted in good faith by
the defeated party, whichever it might
be. We doubt if any law-ahiding
citizen was in the least prepared for
the spectacle that now presents itself
of a party beaten at hepolls using the
long arm of the Federal Government
to turn the electoral votes Of States
which undoubtedly voted for Tilden,
and marching troops into States
where there is no possible pretext for
their presence, in order that fraud
may be safely consumated.
And yet this is just what we see.
Governor Til1en has conceded TO him
by the Republicans 1S4 electoral
votes, with both parties claiming
South Carolina, Florida and L0uisi-
ana. The vote of any one of these
will more than elect Gov. Tilden, and
the managers at once, on discovering
the situation, began their desperate
game to capture all of these States,
two of which at least. have undoubt-
edly gone Democratic. Troops are
sent by midnight order Of President
Grant into Florida, where runners
hare been sent out all over the State
to alter returns and cancel the malor-
itv which Gov. 1ilden has udoubted-
" received. In Louisiana the same
Returning Board that perpetrated the
infamous fraud Of counting in Coy
elnor Kellogg Is getting readyto count
in the Republican electoral ticket.
Probably no candid man of either
party doubts for moment that these
two States have gone Democratic,and
verdict against Samuel J. Tilden in
the one by force, in the other by fraud,
will be swept away by the overwhci>
ming Indignation Of Il Solid North
ana Il solid South.
We warn Republican managers that
they are going too far. The Amcri-
can people have decided to take the
Government out of the hands Of the
present oiFice-holdcr<, and they do not
propose to have those oiiicc-ho.dcrS re-
tain il by means Of GrmeI usurpation.
The issue Is now simply whether the
ballots Of the people are to be honestly
counted or not, and in that contest the
people are all on one side. We APP
prchcnd no disturbance or violence,
and pray God none may come. There
are peaceful remedies even for mill
tarv crimes. The Democratic House
of Representatives is now the sheets
ancho, Of the people, and that House
will insist upon the inauguration of
the President who has been rightfu!ly
elected. If it should prove To have
been Gov. Hayes, well and good; but
if not, not the whole power of the
Federal Government can prcvc0t the
inauguration Of Samuel j. 1i!len.

The tables Of the Republican pa
pers show that Gov. Tilden hasa ma
jority on the popular vote of between
100000 and 100000. The honest
count of the electoral vote viii show
that he has a majority Of the colleges,
and neither President Grants bay
onets, nor Zach Chambers money,
can reverse the verdict of a free ma
ton. Samuel j. Tillen has been
elected President, and he will be in
augurated, and it will be done peace,
ably and in order. Il willnot be long
before the Republican managers dis.
cover that they are presuming too far
upon the forbearance of the people, and
they will be compelled to give way
quietly before an unmistakable pOpu,
lar sentiment.

The United States Senate, servile
as it was, would never recognize kel-
logg's usurping Government in Louis
lana by admitting any Of his Senators
TO seats, though they hammered away
at the doors for three years. Do Mr.
Chandler and President Grant sup
pose that the American people will
countenancc a similar fraud now, if it
should be committed by desperate
men, TO save themselves from politi-
cal and personal ruin?

Before the election it was a contest

Before the election it was 4 contest
between parties. Now it is Il contest
between the people on the one side,
ana the office-holders, supported by
the army, on the other. The people
have cast their ballots, and propose to
have them counted as they were cast;
the Office holders propose, Unnecessary,
10 count in Il President who will not
reform them out of Office and into Jail.
That is the whole story.

Prosperity OF the Pacific

The San Francisco Alta of April "a says
"The middle of Spring finds the prospects
of the Pacific States and Territories excel
lent, more especially in California and Ne
vada. Arizona is threatened with Indian
troubles but the danger Will probably soon
pass, and be succeeded by greater security
than the Territory has heretofore enjoyed.
The advance of the Southern Pacific Rail
road across the Colorado Desert toward
Fort Yuma ls matter of great importance
to the development Of the mineral deposits,
long known to be rich aud extensive. Ore
gon and Washington are gaining rapidly,
though with less speed than if they were
provided with railroad connection to the
Nil sissippi Basin. There has been some
further agitation of the project for building
a road from Winnemucca to the southern
end of the willamette Valley, but with no
prospect of important results. Idaho
has been nearly stationary for the
last five years. but much stimulus is
expected from several gold mills, built last

we're Winter in the higher districts having
put stop to many kinds of mining labor.
Nevada is so important TO California as
tributary on account of its position, as well
as by reason of the fact that its mines are
nearly all owned here, that its prosperity
goes far to secure that of our State. We
derive more profit from silver than from
our wheat, twice as much as from our gold,
and more than all our fruit. The unexam-
pied d.produetiveness of the bonanza mines
promises for the whole of this year, an OK
ceptional activity of business and specula-
ton, high pnces for land, extensive i'm
provements, and the application of large
sums to the search for and opening Of new
mineral deposits. All the leading branches
of our State industry are an unusually
good condition. The abundance of snow
secures plentiful supply of wster for gold
mining, Several new and important depos-
its of cinnabar have been found recently,
and the production of quicksilver is Large
and increasing. The area sown in grain il
larger than ever before. and the abundant

GREAT VICTORY IN INDTANAPoLIs- THE
ELECTION WARMLY CoNTEsTED-A FATAL
RIOT
INDIANAPoLIs, May 2.-The Republicans
carried the city election to-day by over four
thousand majority, and elect eleven out of the
thirteen Oouncilmen, notwithstanding the
redistricting of the city. Both parties were
well organized, aud the election was warm
ly contested, the utmost vigilance being
exercised to prevent illegal voting. Dis
turbances Of a minor character took place
in several of the wards during the day.
After the closing of the polls serious fight
was commenced near the Sixth Ward voting
place, which was continued northward on
Illinois street to the vicinity of the Grand
and Bates Hotels, where it assumed the
character of riot, lasting for twenty or
thirty minutes, during which time pistols,
clubs, and bricks were freely used, result
ing in the killing of one and probably the
fatal injury of two colored men. There
are at present eight wounded persons at
the Surgical Institute, and several other
blacks and whites are known to have been
taken to their homes more or less hurt. 1t
is impossible from many conflicting ac-
counts to give the immediate cause of the
fight. No further trouble is apprehended.

HIS RECALL FROM LONDON REQUESTED BY THE
HOUSE COMMITTEE ON NAVAL AFFAIRS.
Special Despatch to the Ne,o York Times
WASHINGTON, May 2.-The Committee on
Naval Affairs to-day sent a letter to Secre-
tary Robeson requesting that Paymaster
Bradford, who has been the Purchasing
Paymaster in London, be Immediately re-
called. This request is made for two rea-
sons, one of which is that the committee
desire to have Bradford as witness. The
other reason ia that they regard it as i'm
proper that he should continue in
the position with the evidence be-
fore the committee rejecting upon
him. 1t will be remembered as having
been heretofore published that Bradford is
the person who went to Matthews, in New
York, and informed him that E. G. Cattell
was going to enter into competition i'll fur
nishing naval supplies, and stated that of
course the influence of the Cattells with the
Secretary of the Navy would enable them
to get Matthews business away from him.
Bradford advised Matthews according to the
evidence Of the latter, to see Cattell, which
was done and an arrangement was made.
under which Matthews paid, from time to
time, sums amounting in the aggregate to
one hundred Thousand dollars, and E. G.,
Cattell did not go into the business of fur
nishlng supplies.
