THE POPULAR VOTE.

Our Democratic brethren are claiming
that Samuel j. Tilden ought to be inau-
gurated President of the United States,
because, they say, he received more than
a quarter Of a million majority of the
voters. In the first place, the constitu.
ton SO provides, that this has nothing to
do with the matter. In the next place,
if the negroes in the South had been per-
mitted 10 vote. Hayes would have had a
majority.
Our political opponents say that, TAX
ing out the votes Of the colored men, Til.
den's majority would be nearly million
Very well. Now suppose you take out
the rebel vote. Where would Tilden's
majority be? Is not the vote Of a loyal
colored man, who fought to preserve the
Nation, entitled to as much weight and
respect as the vote of white traitor who
fought to destroy the Nation2 Judge
ye.
The constitution, as amended, gives
the colored man just as good right to
vote for President as it does the white
man, whether he be born in the United
States, or in Germeny, Ireland or Wales
As to the question of intelligence, there
is no comparison between the colored
voters and the seventy thousand majori-
ty Of the roughs and rascals who voted
for Tilden in New York and Brooklyn.
Our Democratic friends forget that
Polk, Buchanan and Lincoln all went
into offic as President on a minority vote
of the people. Lincoln, in 1860, was
nearly million short of a majority on
the popular vote and yet John c. Breck-
inridge, Democratic Vice President, de-
clared, on the 4th of March, 1861, in his
official capacity, as President of the Sen
ate, that Abraham Lincoln was the le
gally elected President of the United
States

A REPUBLICAN.


Should the vote of Colorado decide the
Presidential contest, the question would
be raised whether State can choose
electors. by Legislature, in direct con-
tradiction of law OF Congress which
provides for their election by a vote of
the people, Hardin County Democrat.
Now please tell us were that law Of
Congress can be found? The people of
South Carolina never voted for electors
before the war, but always chose them by
the Legislature. We think the Legisla.
ture of Ohio has the power to say that
the Governor or even the Members Of
Congress in each District, may choose
the Presidential electors. We may be
mistaken in this. Give us the page OF
the laws Of the United States where it
forbids the choosing of electors by the
Legislatures.

JAcKsor. November %. 1876

To the Editor Of the Standard:
/ notice the last Herald, November IL
says editorially, Heretofore, when the
people decided at the ballot boxes that
they wanted Republican politicians to
rule them, Democrats acquiesced and
bowed in submission" Did not Republi-
cans accept the situation when Buchanan
received a majority of the electoral votes
and yet was a minority President to the
tune of $40, ,0007 But how was it when
Lincoln was elected? Did Democrats
then submit so tamely-were they then
such lovers of law2 Did they not have
to be whipped-compelled to bow in
submission
1t is decidedly cheeky for the Demo
cratic party to talk about law, order and
patriotism heretofore.
Is not large majority Of the Demo
cratic party of today composed of the
same men who rebelled, and refused to
bow in submission" few years ago?

Another Sad Warning to Boys.

BYERs' STATION, o., Nov. Is.
To the Editor Of the Leader:
Our little town on last Saturday after
noon was the scene of one Of those sad
accidents which should DO q sufficient
warning against carelessness about rail
road trains to last one life time A
A west bound freight train broke coup.
ling somewhere east of here about four
o'clock Pm, and the engine with a
part OF the train attached stopped a short
distance west of the station and started
back to re-couple the train. Two boys,
Marion Fuller and John Hunsicker
jumped on one OF the cars for a ride.
They remained on the train until about
q half mile up the road, when they both
jumped of, but Fuller caught hold of
another car as it passed and in attempt
ing to get on it, missed his footing and
one wheel passed over his right leg
crushing it SO badly that it was necessary
to arnputate il just below the knee. The
operation was performed by DIR. Mona
han, OF Hamden, assisted by Drs Vans
ley, Stiers and Long of this place.
Fuller 10 about sixteen years of age, a
remarkably bright and intelligent lad
and every one here regrets the sad acci-
dent that deprives him of so useful a
membes- and makes him cripple FOR
life. He said to those who were with
him Saturday evening, that he attribu-
ted the accident to his disobedience, as
he had been repeatedly warned of the
danger by his friends and he particular
ly requested that he might be held up as
an example and warning to his friends
and schoolfellows, who were in the habit
of jumping on and off trains while in
motion.
DR.. Monahan was here this morning
to see him and believe he is considered
to be getting along finely. ACCIDENT.

the same men who were few years ago
defying all our laws, who were straining
every nerve to destroy this, the best Gov
ernment on earth7 Then ] say it is de-
cidedly cheeky for them to boast of al

to the law. | know they are ashamed
Of their past record, and don't like to
have us refer to it, but if they want Re-
publicans to keep still they must not in
vite our attention to it. If Tilden is
elected. he will owe his election to this
same ex-rebel element. and he must and
will recognize their claims on him and
his party. Hence the necessity to them
of his election. And men who were
mean and disloyal enough to take up
arms against their Government, are
mean enough to resort to fraud and in
timidation to elect their candidates. 1t
is we'll known fact, that cannot be de-
MED by any fair minded man, that had
there been fair election in the South

and Louisiana, but Arkansas. Mississippi

AUNT TABITHA JENKINS

Yes, Mrs Robinson, I've been to Phil

when ] told 'em Id made up my mind.
1t was at the supper table that first
denounced my contention Of goin'. Ny

and now that it's goin' to be SO common,

All the children says "go by all means"
but Ruth. She looked kinder sulky and
said she didn't know how she was goin
to git that meriner dress this winter if
the family was goin' to sprinkle money
around in that kind of style. But just
shut my mouth real tight and was more
determined than ever. My poor dear

only got to object to it, and I'd do it or

My son Isaac he spoke up and says

you much, for you can git round ticket
now for twelve dollars and ninety cents"
That's cheap enough" says ], "and

it does cost a little more. In fact amt

THE SITUATION.

30 one can yet tell who has been
elected President. The vote of South
Carolina has been counted, and without
throwing out any illegal votes, Hayes
has carried the State by nearly one thou
sand. The count is progressing in Lou
isiana; but it will not be completed for a
week or more. The vote in Florida has
not been counted 1t is close there.
We believe all the doutful States will
be counted for Hayes. They ought to
be. These States, together with Miss
issippi. are as largely Republican as is
Ohio, Kansas or Iowa, and the Demo

Judicial District for 1876. the fall term
Of Common Pleas Court Tor Pike county,

day, November IA. arrived yesterday and
with 1t came Is Grand and IL Petit Ju-
rymen, besides host of witnesses, eli
ents, attorneys, &c, but, as usual. no
Judge, and here, for two days now have
these twenty-seven jurymen and a host
Of witnesses been laying around the
Court House, at the expense of the coun-
ty, waiting for Court to convene. Now,
if this was the only time this thing has
happened, there would be little or no
cause for complaint; but it has occurred
at almost every term of court that has
occurred here for the past ten or twelve
years, and is getting to be =n intolerable
nuisance, and an outrage upon the tax
payers, and il should be stopped if there
is any way of stopping it. The people of
