The hundreds Of needy and deserving women
who were thrown out Of employment in the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing will have
the sympathy Of the entire community. To
be dependent upon the paltry salary paid the
employees ofthat bureauis simply to ske out a
pinched and comfortless existence; still, even
such condition is far preferable to idleness
in mid-winter, with no possible means of sup
port. It is hoped that material assistance
will be Immediately given to those of the un-
fortunate ones who are in distress, and that
Congress will take action to relieve the suf-
fering which must necessarily result from
this wholesale discharge of helpless women.

The Three stolen states.

The Democratic House has its committees
In the States of Florida, Louisians and South
Carolina searching vigorously for supposed
Republican frauds. In Mississippi, Alabama
and North Carolina, where Democratic frauds
were committed in the boldest and most law
less manner, the House refuses to undertake
an investigation. They tried to steal Florida,
South Carolina and Louisiana, but failed, and
are Dow by their committee attempting to
steal 1t again. They succeeded in stealing
Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana and are
satisfed with the bold theft. Neither will de-
feat the inauguration Of Hayes.

THE Nation, periodical which favored
Tilden's election, now comes boldly forward
and says: "The wisest course for the Demo
Gratis and everybody is to allow Hayes to take
the Presidency quietly and without further
dispute on the Ah of March next. This will
doubtless be a very uDpalatable course to
those who cannot afford to wait four years
more for another such chance as apparently
now offers itself to them; but the country de-
sires law and order and certainty, and does
not now particularly care who is President,
provided there is general acquiescence in his
accession

The Northern Doushfaces Deserted

The Bourbon Mortimer, up to within a few
days, intended armed opposition to the in
auguration of President Hayes. Their steeds
of war now stop pranciDg, and they virtually
abandon the mutinous scheme. After an ex-
summation, they find the Southern wing in no
mood for hostilities, and that, should they in
augurate insurrectioD, it would be solely their
own fight, in which no aid will come from
Southern men. The developments of the
past few days have convinced them that the
dregs of the party North must be separated
from Southern chivalry, which proposes no
further alliance TO men who do not value
their own character. They have discovered
that Southern manhood and craftsmanship is
going to stand by Hayes if the Senate elects
h.Ir, and aid General Grant in consummating
his Inauguration according to the forms of law
prescribed by the Constitution. Men of the
South abhor war. They have tasted its
bitter fruits through the seditious in
fuencc of the rump D, mocracy North,
and will not trust the knaves who de-
serted them IN the conflict they iustigated.
They have discovered what we have been
telling them for ten years-that. this Northern
faction is nothing but the refuse of the Jack
sonian party, and not its iron will and manly
character. Between this political scum and
the manhood of the South they propose no
future sffliation. 1t has placed the bitter
cup to their lips once too often. Under its
guidance they forced the Mississippi plan In
the South, and 1t broug ght'disgrace and threat
ened war upon the country, and left turmoil
and business prostration and bitterness as its
legitimate fruit. 1t made another conflict
possible, and shadowed the prospects of peace
and good will. The truth Of these things
has at last flashed upon the Southern mind,
and, they now despise their treacherous
Northern allies. They at last realize
that this rif-raf element has been
to them what the devastating plaques wereto
the Egyptians. Even more destructive have
they proven than is..the Asiatic scourge to the
multitude OF heather humanity on the bor-
ders of the GGnges and along the shores of
the Arabian sea. And now, in the fullness OF
this knowledge, they begin to loathe them, as
an injured woman loathes her seducer, and
discover that they have only tolerated them
since their cowardice in the rebellion as a ne
cessary evil. 1t appears now that the South
erD leaders since the election have been con-
sultIng their constituency and holding recent
meetings throughout the South, and have
fully determined on q summary separation
from the Northern doughtaces, who have
proven only inyincible in peace and invisible
in war. If, therefore, this rump faction stir
up strife, It will have the responsibility and
all the sorrow. They will SOW to the wind
and have a monopoly in reaping the whirlwind.

THE CALM utterances Of President elect
HAYES are full of earnest meaning. They
show firm and decided belief in his honest
election, and determination to stand up for
the right, and nothing but the right, In this
perilous crisis. He did not seek the nomina.
ton, nor did he evince undue anxiety to fill
the place, but now that he is elected, he shows
no inclination to be deprived of the results of
the victory by the bluster and hostile demon
strations of the Democracy.

Fernando woods FfaanefaI Genius

We publish this morning a second INSTALL
ment of the "Hon." Fernando Woods bril-
liant retrospect. In this article we have con-
fined ourselves strictly to his marvellous
aptitude for sraising" the largest revenue
from the smallest figures. As an example Of
his wonderful genius in this respect, the
reader will observe in perusing the testimony,
that in purchasing bill of IS cents foi account
of himself and partner, he 'raised" the afore-
said bill from IS cents to s10O75, and charged
his partner with the latter amount. 1t is not
often that q man Of such sublime
financial ability is to be found
at the head of the Committee of Ways and
Means of the House of Representatives. They
are oftener to be met with in our several peni-
tentiar:es. Such Is life.

The Bogus Oregon Elector.

Governor Grover and his Oregon electoral
infamy was thoroughly unmaskcd by Senator
Morton in the Senate yesterday, in his reply
to Mr.. Thurman's remarks made last Friday.
Ever since that infamy was perpetrated the
leaders Of the Democracy have been pasting
the naked shame all over with fig leaves of
foolish argument. They have defended the
action of Grover, and excused him for ig-
norsnce of the law, and apologized for his
palpable trick, and tried to creep out of the
outrageous wrong in thousand diff
ferent ways. The intelligent and con-
servative Democrat does not sustain
the action of this tricky political demagogue.
They know, as Mr.. Morton says, that the
Governors duty was to give the certificates
of election to the Electoral College when 1t
assembled, but that, instead of doing SO, he
gave the certificates to a person who was
never elected, and who was not even assem-
bled as college. 1t will be remembered how
this egregious dolt to whom the certificates
were unlawfully given, puffcd himself into
enormous proportions in his own estimation,
constituted himself an Electoral College,
moved, seconded and secured the election of
two bogus electors, and proceeded to cast his
vote, by which he expected to elect Presi-
dent. This was the farce so effectively ex-
posed by Senator Morton yesterday.
