and the total disregard for the mandates
and lnJunetlons of the supreme court of
South Carolina was handled without
gloves. Summing up such opinion, he de-
clared that such acts are a subversion
OF the law, tending totally to dlsintegrate
and destroy it. Heexpressed himself sur
prlsed at the interference of the military
IN Columbia, after the lessons received by
the Republicans 10 consequence of the De-
Trobriand outrage of 1874. He compared
president Grants late military acts with
similar ursurpations of power based upon
military outrages of history, referring to
Rome in 1913. to Turkey from 1862 to 1876,
to Cromwell and the Long and Rump
piament, in the seventeenth century, and
the celebrated coup detdt of Louis Napo-
ieon in 1851, He took the position that
both houses of congress have the right to
determine whether the electoral votes of
any state shall be thrown out or not. In
other words he claimed that the houses
are not merely silent witnesses of the vice
presidents action, but sit as judges upon
the correctness of the electoral vote re-
turned to them and congress.
His whole speech was a very fair and
able review of the exciting difficulties of
the day, and is bound to have weight with
the Republicans of the state. owing to the
very high position Mr.. Rodes occupies in
their party,
A REPUBLICAN OPINION OF TILDEN.
He concluded by saying that, although
he had voted against Mr.. Tilden, yet he
thought he was fairly elected and wanted
to see him inaugurated, and that no man,
for mere party purposes, should attempt
to subvert the laws of the country, and
thus endaDgcr the free institutions be-
queathed to US by our forefathers.
Mr. Rodes was followed by Gen. Blake
ly, in one of his happy efforts, which was
the more appreciated because he has been
very active Republican here, having at
one time been collector of internal revenue
of this district.
There are very few white people here
who acknowledge allegiance to Grant in
his late despotic acts. and those few:either
have an actual or expected bread and.
butter reason for so doing.

BOWLING GREEN. KY, Dec ia
very large meeting Of the citizens Of this
city and county, irrespective OF party, was
held at the court house to-day, for the
purpose of giving expression to their feel
iDgs concerning the presidential muddle.
Judge Hartzell was called to the chair,
and the Hon. D. W. Wright was ap-
pointed secretary.
The meeting comprised most of our best
people, including the silver heads Of our
patrarchs, and the mass of our substan-
tial, thinking men. There were present
sume thousands of persons, among whom
were several white and many colored Re-
publicans.
Hon. Robert Rodes. one of the strongest
Republicans of the state as to brains and
party principles, and the recognized leader
OF the Republican party in this county,
addressed the meeting ia a two-hours
speech. completely dissecting the action OF
| his party in its attempt to count in Hayes.
He claimed to be Republican, stating
that he had voted against most of those
present, having cast his vote for Hayes.
| but considered this time when true men
should rise above mere party and act as
patriots. He said that it is characters
tic of the American people to have fair
play, and in his opinion there had been a
| fair election, and most certainly there
should be fair count.
| DENoUNCING THE RETURNING BOARD.
He denounced the action of the return.

states in the strongest possible terms, and
thoroughly exposed the frauds that had
been perpetrated there, and which are
now being forced upon the country by the

quiet election ia Louisiana, and denounced
the action of Kellogg in telegraphing how
the state had gone before it was possible
for him to have known, as simply meaning
that he intended to have it counted that
way, right or wrong. He said that the
Louisiana returning board comprised meu
without character or standing and

Iinfamy by members of their own
party. The Republican action il
