With less than one third of the Re-
publican Members favorable to his re-
election, one naturally asks what
Hitchcock is to gain by legislative
caucus for which he is clammOring,
contrary TO his practice heretofore
LOtOeU Register.
That is a very reasonable question
to ask, if the Registers proposition is
correct. Now, we propose to ask just
as reasonable a question, to-wit: If
more than two thirds of the Republi
can members. according to the Regis
tcr'S count, or even more than one
half, as is claimed by all the anti
Hitchcock papers, are opposed to the
reelection of the Senator, why do his
opponents oppose going into and be-
ing bound by a Republican caucus?
To defeat him in caucus would GER
tainly most effectuaily dispose of Mr..
Hitchcock, or at least help DO it.
We DO not know that Mr. Hitch
cock Is 'clamoring" for caucus. We
presume, however, he would submit
his claims to the decision Of caucus,
from the fact that some Of the leading
papers favor u caucus, which are
Known to be friendly towards Mr..
Hitchcock. They may or may not
have consulted him in regard to the
matter. RVe do not know, and there
fore could not say thatthey are ''clam-
oring" for caucus especially at Mr..
Hitchcock's dictatiOn and for his
speoial benefit instead of through
the prompting loyalty to the
party. Those who advocate par
ty discipline, and going into a politi-
cal fight shoulder to shoulder, with a
solid front. well organized, as Repub-
licans should, and as is their duty to
do, are with US in mind and heart,
and we could not be so narrow mind
ed as to attribute any bat the best of
motives for such advocacy.
We believe the Republican mem
bers OF the Legislature should unite
upon the man to be Senator, and
make sure work, of it, and do not
know a better way to do this than by
nominating in caucus. This we
have advocated in the present Sena-
tOrial agitation, and are consistent in
doing so. for We have taken the same
view iii all the preceding Senatorial
contests in this state. We are not
we'll enough "pC sted" or the views of
Legislators to have even a tOlerably
well grounded opinion as to what
Senator HitcbGOck's chances would |
be in caucus. Ii is true we read
what our State exchanges have to cay,
but the prjudice, heat. and vindiclive
feeling evinced by the average Hitch
cock editorial, places it without the
pale of our credGlity; and we are
not informed. Hence are are not
"clam oring'' for caucus in the in-
terest Of Mr.. Hitchcock or any other
man. five should become so excited |
as to clamor at all, for anything, it
would be for the success of the
Republican party, regardless |
of who The winning Republican may
be.

While Democratic statesmen are
claiming Tilden's election by the
white vote, it might perhaps be well
for them to remember that the only
prospect there is of Tilden's election
consists in his carrying the Solid
South and so receiving the twenty
one electoral votes which were allotted
the Solid South as the pportionment
for the negro vote. Take away the
twenty-One electoral votes represent
ing the negro vote, and even though
Louisiana, South Carolina, and Flori-
day were carried for him, he would
still be defeated. If he ever gets into
the Presidential chair, it will be be-
cause the negro electoral vote was
counted for him. Chicago Tribune.

son not only the cordial" tut the

two weeks ago the residence of B. +.
Watson, of this city. was burglariZed,
and among the articales stolen were a
diamond pin worth $500, a good suit
of clothes. and sum of money. Last
Sunday morning Mr.. Watson found a

formed him that he would find his
clothes in an old cuphord in the cellar
aud upon looking there the clothing
containing the money that was taken,
even to the change in his pants pOck-

being missing. Last night Mr.. Wat

dressed to the "lady who gave the ba-

short time previously given some ba-

the board consist of the Secretary of
State, n. E. Payne; f. L. Cardoza,
State Treasurer Il. G. Damn, Comp
troller; the Attorney General. and
II. w. Purvis, ex-Adjutant and In
spector General.
The reason of this unreasonable
and extraordinary act of the court is
the assumption OF the court that the
board had treated it with con-
tempt, in this: that the board, In
strict obedience to mandatory law
of the State, had canvassed the vote
of the State, exPunged frauds, issued
certificates to the electors and officers
elected, and adjourned sine die after
being in session the full term pre-
scribed by law the court having pre-
viously made a rule ordering the
board to ssue certificates of election
to such as appeared to be elected from
the county returns, and before GER
tain counties. two in number, were
thrown out for the plainest and gross
est frauds.
That the Supreme Court of South
Carolina has transcribed its powers
and dUty in thus interfering with the
election, will, we doubt not, be made
to fully appeal. in the future.
- Since writing the above, the can
vassing board applied to and obtained
Of The u. S. Circuit Court writ of
h0be0S corpus. and the members of
the board were taken from the sheriff
and placed in charge of the L.. S.
Marshal. pending a hearing Oh the
writ. The application for habeaS cor
lus was based on the ground thattbe
board was dischargiHg its duty of de-
who are Presidential cleo
tors when the Supreme Court of the
State interfered. There is in this a
conflict of the jurisdiction OF courts,
but we have no doubt that the point
made regarding Presidential electors
will hold good, and the prisoners be
released.

The above is a good thing to put
away in scrap book. Gen. Mander-
son is very nice man. We believe,
or at least we have no reason to doubt,
that he is a real General, or was ; at
least he is a very model of dignity,
and wears spectacles and a cane.
The General, as the Herald intimates,
has a sort of hankering after the u.
S. Senatorship. He was instrumen-
tai in electing ten Democrats in
Douglas to the legislature, notwith-
standing he assumes to he leader
among Republicans. Such reckless
and false declarations as the Herald
credits him with, may gather to his
support the Herald and the Douglas
delegation, but such Endorsement and
support will not be likely to cause
Republicans to rush franticly to his
embrace.

Atthe fa!l ELECTION of 1875, in the
sixth judicial district of this State, L.
X. Valentine and Thos. l.. Griffey
were the candidates for District Judge.
Mr.. Griffey received the certificate
of election, and las since been serv-
ing as judge of the district. Valen-
tine contested the election, and
last week the Supreme Court
rendered a decision i'm the case,
finding in favor of Valentine
"that the relator had a majori-
ity of all the votes cast in the sixth
judicial district, and is therefore en-
titled to the office of judge of said ju-
dlcial district, and therefore judg-
ment of custer must be rendered
against the defendant"
The principal ground for reversal of
the finding of the board of canvassers
was that at one voting place sixty
three tickets were voted having upon
them the words district ticket of the
sixth judicial district, T. L. Griffey
of Dakota county, George B. Fletcher
of Madison county," without desig-
mating the Office or offices for which
the candidates were running. The
truth was that Griffey was running
for Judge and Fletcher for district at
torney, but the failure to designate
was fatal to the validity of the bal
lots so voted.

called first. Suppose, then, Senator
Morton rises and objects TO the vote
of Alabama being counted, offering TO
furnish abundant testimony that
there was no fair election. Can such
objection be entertained and debated,
or must the certificates, bearing the
seal of the Senate, be considered final Z?
It Will be a dilema for the Democrats
of both houses. Can Congress go
back of these certificates and enquire
how they were obtained? If yes in
the case of Louisiana, why not in that
of Alabama? II not in Alabama,

in the shape of an Endorsement on

that the Endorsement signed by his

DR.. Glover. a supervisor of elections
in North Carollns, Hyde county, hav-

tickets of that county, was murdered,
robbed of the tickets, and his body
thrown into thewater. This was one
of the many foul deeds perpetrated in
that State to prevent the Republicans
from voting and fair election. That
is the way "Tilden and Reform" get
such overw helming majorities in
those Southern States. Had there
been fair election and an honest
count, Hayes would have carried the

General Sherman's Annual Report.

We CLEAN az follows from the late
report of the General of the Army {:
The aggregate force of the army now
consists of p, ,33l men. all Of whom
are as actively employed as though
war existed. BY the subdivision of
territory every fort of the country is
under supervision of a general officer
near at hand, with part of the army
proportioued tothe supposed necessity
to maintain order and peace, whereby
the settlement of the country may
progress and civil officers be enabled
to enforce laws of the United States.
In military divisions of the Atlantic
there are no hostile Indiana. but troops
have been actively employed aiding
United States marshals in enforcing
revenue laws and protecting the weak
against prejudices of the strong in the
civil elections. These duties call for
the highest qualities of firmness and
prudence, and I am sure the behavior
of troops in every instance has COM
mended the respect OF all men. The
care and preservation of public proper
ty and of sea coast forts is the chief
duty of the troops.
In the department of the Gulf the
troops under General Augur have
been shifted from place to place in aid
of civil authorities under the same
state of facts as in the department of
the south, with similar results, and
has always used their power with con-
sumate discretion and good judgment.
On the Taxes frontier, especially the
Mexican border, has long existed an
condition of affairs.
Civil war has existed in the border |
Mexican states, and each faction has |
at times sought asylum on this side Of
the Rio Grande, but from Gen. Ord's !
letters and reports there seems to be
an organized system of robbery by |
small bands of Mexicans and Indians |
who cross the Texas side, commit |
murders, steal horses, cattle, etc, and |
cross back with their stolen property |
to the other side, where they are COM
safe from pursuit from our
troops, who rarely hear of the raid un-
til it is too late to intercept. [ believe
no one suppcses the authorities of the
government of Mexico can be
privy to this nefarious business, and
It is probably carried on in spite of the
better people on both sides of the bOr
Ter. There are now in Texas two reg
ments of cavalry, the Eighth and
Zenith, which will be filled up as rap
dly as possible to the maximum stand
lrd (; also, three regiments OF infantry

rwenty-fifth, which are necessarily

hope with increased activity these
roops will suffice to protect the border

The Democratic press. both in the
South and in the North. are making a
great howl because an honest count
of votes is being insisted upon in
South Carolina, Louisiana aud FlOri-
da. An honest vote and count Is
what honest people all over the coun-
try demand, and what we ought to
have. There s no doubt that if this
could be had, all the extreme South
ern States are to-day Republican.
By the last census there were 81 79l
white evotes-includingD Democrats and
Repu ublicans-and lis. .S77 cOlOred votes
in Alabama; and yet that State at the
last election returns 81, 900 Democrat
ic majority. In Georgia there were
lIG, 16S white votes, aud l3G, 80 col
ored votes. The Dem ocratic majority
is 75, 900. In Mississippi the
white vote was 69,8l6, coloreG III ,050.
Democratic majority, $1,000. Does
any sensible and reasonable man, for
one moment, believe such results are
from an honest vote and count?
