The Presidential Question Briefly
Put.

Majorities of the legally qualified
votes in this government have been
given to Samuel j. Tilden for Presi-
ident and Thomas A. Hendricks for
Vice President, ina majority of the
States, twenty in number, te-wit:
Connecticut, New York, New jersey,
Indiana, Maryland, Delaware, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, North Carolina,
Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Ar
Kansas, Texas. Mississippi, Alabama,
Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and
Louisiana.
These majorities aggregate ma
jority of more than 100000 of all the
votes cast at the election Oh the 9TH
of November.
These mJorities entitle Tilden and
Hendricks to t,Uo hundred and four
rotes in the Electoral College with the
one of Oregon cast in accordance with
the law and under the seal of the
State, or a majority of H,irty-eigLt
votes, and enttle them, as the choice
of the American people, to the offices
of President and Vice President under
the Constitution and the laws.
Without the electoral votes of Flo
ida, South Carolina and Louisiana
nineteen in number-to which Tilden
and Hendricks are justly entitled, if
an honest count had been made, the
vote received by them in the Oregon
Electoral College gives them with
votes uncontested 1S5 votes, or ma
jority of one in the Federal Electoral
College.
The coming three months will de-
termine whether these majorities will
prevail, or whether the Constitution
and laws, in this matter of supreme
concern, have been nul.ified. If the
laws are in force Tilden and Hens
bricks will be inaugurated if they
are not, the Offices Of President and
Vice President Will have been usurp-
ed.-NaslriNe .Amcrican.

Seldom indeed does Providence

that terrible disease, having passed

Col. Griffith and family have our
heartfelt sympathy in this dark hour.

dined with the family, when these
three bright-faccd, sweet children
were apparently in perfect health.
Little did we think then that we
would see them no more on earth.

Our old friend Archie Thomas, ed.
tier of the Springfield Record, is again
a candidate for Sergeant-at>Arms Of
the State Senate. He has filled this
responsible position two terms and
knows exactly what duties are to be
performed. He is a pleasant, ener-
getic accommodating gentleman, and
needs the office. If the new Senate
will leave this election to the news
papers of the State, Mr. Thomas will
be unanimously elected. We earnest
~ hope he may be successful.

The Radicals are determined 70 car
~ their vile purposes through despite
the protests of the people. HAYES
will wink at any means looking to his
Inauguration. Grant Is INSCRIPTIONS
and has Il venal crowd of officials and
a willing and subscrviant army to
back him in any measure, however
violent, TO accomplish his end. The
yaScals will never consent To pcaceahly
turn the government over TO the
Democrats, as all PROOFS Of their
quietly practices will bc in the hands
of honest men, and their punishment
would be swift and certain. From
Grant down there would net be one
exempt from punishment for bribery,
stealing and corruption. Hen,e the
dcath-like tenacity with whi:h they
cling TO office and power. SO long as
they remain in power no earthly
tribunal can reach them.

SWEPT UNDER THE ICE.
Terrible Tale OF Four Young People
in Red River.


CEDAR HILL, ROBERTSON COUNTY,
Dec. 8, 1S76.-Yester1ay evening,
Dec. s, one of the saddest accidents
occurred about nine miles north Of
Cedar Hill.
a party of five young ladies and
five gentlemen, intending to come
from Logan county, Ky, across he'd
River into Robertson county TO ball,
came TO the river little below North
ington's mill and found that it WAS
entirely frozen over. Resolved not to
be disappointed the young gentlemen
cut Il way through the ice, and de-
termined to 90 over in canoes.
Two canoes were at hand, and five
of them got into each and started.
They had not gone far when the hind.
most boat reported to the front that
she was sinking. The front boat turn
ed Immediately, and went back to
render assistance, and in so doing the
bows of the two boats came in contact
with sufficient force to Slhk both, and
drive them under the ice.
Three young ladies were drowned
and two young gentlemen. Two Of
the young ladies were the Misses
Campbell. The name Of the other
lady we do not recall. One of the
young gentlemen was Mr. Gregory, the
others name we do not remember
The deepest sadness prevails through
out the country. All Of the un,
fortunate party, We understand, were
highly respected and moved in the
best circles of society.
The friends of the deceased have
been making dilligent search for the
lost b dies, but have not succeeded in
finding them. One of the young lad
les, Miss Choate, being good swim
mer made her escape.

The hypocracy of the Radicals in
denouncing "Granti>m,' is displayed
in nothing more than the fawning and
hattcring bestowed upon Grant since
the election. Before the election the
leaders denounced theeviIs of Grant
ism" To-day he is the front and
strength of the party. His fragrant
usurpations were denounced is the
entering wedge that would eventually
split the party. Without his u>urpa
lions and violations of the Constitu
ticn the party would 20 to pieces in
twenty-four hours. What chance
would Hayes have Of finally getting
into the White House, 10y fair or foul
means, without the aid of Grants
minions, his army and ofiice>holders ?
If Hayes reaches the White House, lie
must do so with the aid of the office
holders, Il subserviant army, and cor,
rupt public sentiment in the party.
And this is "Grautism" 50 bitterly
denounced by them one year ago, and
the chief reliance Of L corrupt organ
ization to day. Without the army,
the navy, the horde of officials that
subsists by the favor of Grant, the
election of Tilden would never have
been contested after the 9TH day of
November. In eheir weakness they
gather around the stool of power and
of Grantism." The stone the Rad
ical builders rejected has become the
head of the Corner,

The National Grange adopted res
olutions demanding that the agricul>
tural interests of the country be recog-
nized by the establishment of a bureau
of agriculture by the government, to
be presided over by cabinet officer.
As the farmers of the United States
are about half the population, we do
not see that this is an unreasonable
demand, and we hope Congress may
take it into serious consideration.

No greater outrage upon law and

City Manners.

Volumes have been written upon the
etiquette of city life. The manners of
people who inhabit cities is theme
which gives writer a reasonable excuse
for seizing the pen. However, the prac.
teal illustration of the customs Of differ.
ent cities will 20 far toward giving q true
idea Of the civilization and tone of its in.
habitauts. To fully illustrate would
necessitate comparison. Not to COM
pare but mention the peculiar customs Of
some ladies of an old Vermont city is the
object of this sketch Bred in the high
est schools of learning, proud in the con
sciousness Of high family connections,
nursed in the lap of wealth aud luxury,
and able to devote their time to
their own amusement, the ladies' oil
one of our oldest cities find their great.
est enjoyment, it would seem, in the hui
name work Of traversing the broad thor.
oughfares, seeking out gentle and timd
ladies from country towns who have been
called there upon business, and admins
tering to their comfort in various ways.

Manners like these, it seems, are a part
