Washington: "Attorney- General Taft
is preparing an opinion, based on the
several revised statutes relating to the

United States Marshals have the au.

United States troops stationed in
their respective districts, if they deem
the assistance of troops necessary to
preserve the peace at the polls or pre-
vent intimidation. As soon as tho
opinion is handed to the President, an
order will be issued notifying the sew

ercise it il necessary. This will, of
course, prevent the Democratic State
Governments at the South from having
any control over the troops"

Is DoUBT.--0ur article announcing
the result in last weeks JOURNAL, was
predit attd upon the supposlton that Til
den had carried the "Solid South" claim
ed for him from the outset, and enough
Northern electoral votes to give him a
majority in the Electoral College. Be
foe tho town and county edition was
worked off, the stage came in bril- ng
tn news embodied in the disl atch pub
liShod. From that time until the pres
ent the ws has been contradictory,
DO parties persisting in claiming the
three doubtful Southern States, and it is
probable that no definite conclusion can
lie reached until their vote has been Of
fcially counted. 1t would seem from the
90 e lent tone ocGovernors Stearns, Kell-
Ogg and Cha mlerlain that Il G W te Of
those States was Republican beyond
doubt, and the fact that Governor Kell-
ogg has invited prominent men of both
parties to be present when the II, turning
Board of Louisiana takes action, would
indicate n desire to have the vote of that
State, whichever way it may have gone,
be conceded to the winning party beyond
all cavil. In the meanwhile both par
ties here feel as though they were on the
ragged edge of uncertainty.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1876-11-18
THE SITUATION.

AT the present writing the political sit
uation remains unchanged from what it
was Qne week ago, the doubtful States
of Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina
being claimed by both parties. The de
spatches which reach US from those States
are the same in effect from day to day,
each party protesting a confidence that
the vote of the three States has been Civ
en- to it. We can put no faith in these
claims sufficient to decide which way the
election has gone until the official can
vass is made and the votes declared by
competent authority.
The Democrats claimed from the out
set of the canvass that they would re-
ceive the vote OF the solid South Cir
cumstances seemed to justify this claim,
many Republicans believing that such
reign Of terror would be inaugurated in
such of the Southern States as yet re.
maine1 Republican as would prevent
many OF that party from voting. Conse-
quently, when the first news came that
New ork and other Northern States had
cast their votes for Tilden, his election
was for time conceded. Later news
seemed to indicate that the measures
taken by the Federal government to in
sure a fair vote in the South had been so
far successful as to bring out the Repub-
lican strength, and thus carry the three
d, ub ful States for Hayes and Wheeler.
An this news is seemingly confrme d by
the ep Drts fthey be true, of Democratic
raids upou the ballot-boxes and other
measures adopted by the champions of
reform to prevent the vote as cast being
counted. 1t was always claimed by the
Republicans that with fair election the
States Of Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida,
with perhaps Ala bama and North Caro-
lima would show Republican majorties,
These claims are certainly strengthened
by the present aspect of affairs in the
three disputed States. If they are not
Republican on a fair vote, we do not
want them, if they are, we certainly do.
And while we believe from all the evil
dence at hand that the States have given
their votes for the Republican nominees
we cannot avoid expressing regret that
the choice Of our President at this time
should be decided by these States, for
whatever that decision may be it will not
be accepted without cavil. In other
words, whatever the decision of the State
authorities may be, it will be charged
that that decision will be procured by
either fraud or intimidation, and the
charge will be believed by large proper
ton Of the defeated party. This is a sad
of political affairs, but it is one
for which the "White Liners" are alone
responsible. For we know that social
oatracism, business influences, armed vio-
lence and intimidation have been busy at
work since the campaign opened, to carry
a United South for TIlden and Reform"
Our chief wonder is that the Republicans
Of those States knowing as they must the
lawless elements they had to contend
with, had the courage to stand up for
their principles in the manner they have.
1t now remains to be seen whether they
ave "held the fort"
Weekly Trinity journal., 1876-11-18

OUR war against political time-servcr
and demagogues will never cease while
We are allowed to vote or use pen. Such
creatures a"e the worst atllict 'ols that en-
cumber our cIuntry. DEVOID of princi-
pie, unlaithful to the prompings of true
manhood, recreant to all p lg1s, and IL
disgrace to the human kind they afilct,
ard Judging the future by the past it APP
pears that this class always will afllict
our country. Their presence is the bane

Gated from the nation its prosperity would
be assured. Ceaseless, relentless, tire e,s
but always honorable and manly war
