THE Philadelphia Times has pretty
straight story from Cincinnati, in shape OF
a special dispatch dated Dec 4tb, rs to
the probability if not absolute certainty of
Governor Hayes declining TO accept tie
Presidency in view Of tue many and glarirg
frauds which have been committed by the
returning boards in the three contested
States of tho South The dispatch says
thnt ''three prominent citizens Of Cincin-
natl had returned that night from Colum-
bus, the home Of Governor Hayes, where
they had an interview with +. w. Merrick,
lawyer of that city. MIR. Merrick stated
to them that at Thanksgiving dinner at
the home of Mr.. Hayes, the Governor said
lie believed :hat Tilden was honestly elect
ed President of the United States, and that
if he was borne out in his convictions he
would under no consideration accept the
Office if declared elected. The conversa-
ton was brought OH by the remarks of Mrs
General Mitchell, a niece of Governor
Hayes, who said to the Governor that she
hoped her husband would be successful in
his present mission to Washington, and
bring about a settlement of the question
which was proving such source of trouble
both to the Governor and his family and to
the country at large. To this the Govern
or replied as above, Saying that lie believed
Tilden was honestly elected President, and
that under this conviction he should posi-
lively decline to accept if declared elected
irl- a.,
of the statement, but offered to make atfi-
davit to the facts contained therein. Sen.
ator Sherman, f. Stoughtou and Eugene
Halc have returned from the South, and
have been closeted with Governor Hayes
in Columbus all the afternoon. Nothing
positive is known as To their plan Of oper-
atious.'

THROUGH the workings of system of
fraud unparalleled in the history of repub-
lies, the decision Of the people of the sover
eign States Of Florida aud Louisiana as to
who shall be the next chief magistrate OF
the nation has been set aside by the min
ions of tue existing administration, and a
false figure head is thereby attempted to
be set up. An honest count of the vote Of
Florida gives Tilden a majority of 1000,
but through the manipulation of Stearns
canvassers it is made to appear that Hayes
has 900 majority; while in Louisiana, by
the Wholesale throwing out of parishes
where Democracy is predominant, The in
famous Wells returning board makes it
appear ION paper that the State has falsi-
fled it's record and gone for Hayes by s, 900.
One week ago, it was known and admitted
that the Pelican State, on fair count,
was ON the side Of Tilden and Reform by
5000 maturity.
Words are inadequate TO depict the in
fanny and magnitude of this outrage upon
the will of the people, fairly expressed, uu-
fairly recorded. OF course, as the case bow
stands, South Carolina having already been
counted if not conceded to the publieans
Hayes has prima .fneie the right TO the
Presidency, but the ultimate result is in
the hands Of Congress, which we doubt not
will right the wrong aud save from this
worst of all dissertations the most revered
principles Of our Republican form Of gov
eminent. Let us therefore not despair,
but let us hope that ia the end right will
wong W i'll be vanqnishcd. and the
,ouutry be saved f.om anarchy aud ruin.

WADE HAMPTON has, as the Lancaster
Jntelhgencer very pertinently remarks, cx-
cited larger degree of admiration by his
conduct during the present political crisis
thnn any man in the country, and ne daily
gives additional cause for the high regard
IL which he is held. He is the representa-
tive champion Of the law and of tho peoples
rights. lie declares, as all the people
know, that he has been elected governor
of South Carolina, that the law will so de-
clare him, and he appeals to it to give him
the place he has been voted, asking the
people Of the State to patiently await its
processes. He assures them ''by tho eternal
God" that he will obtain the Office TO which
lie has been elected, or else the State will
be placed under military rule. Nothing
but superior force Of bayonets can defeat
the peoples expressed will. and Wade
Hampton covers himself with bonor in de-
olarng that nothing else shall, lie is wise
as he is brave and MS brave as wise. With
such a leader the liberties of the peoplc not
alone of South Carolina, but or the entire
nation, are entirely safe.

BIBLICAL LORE FOR THE POLITICIANS
The Western Republican papers are quo
ting the following portion of scripture on
the present situation with n good deal of
relish
And Samuel arose and went to Eli and
said: Here am L, for tl:ou did st call me -
And he answered. 81 called not my son /.
lie down again" SO Samuel went
and lay down in his place.
This is from the third chapter of the First
Book of Samuel, and had the Republican
editors searched the scriptures little
further they would have discovered that
the Lord called Samuel, aud they would
have found that ''Samuel grew and the
Lord was with him, and did let none of his
words fall to the ground. And from Dan
even to Bershcba Samuel was established. -

AFTER paying all expenses the Ccnten-
NAL Commission have a million and y half
ot dollars in their treasury. This is the
amount that WAS appropriated by Congress
to complete the buildings, but it was ap
propriaied with proviso that ifany moneys
should remain in the treasury of the Board
of Finance, after the payment of all debts,
d should be covered back into The Treasury
of the United States "before any dividend
or percentage Of the profits shall be paid to

stockholders will get no dividend, as the

dence, and when the government receives
the amount appropriated by Congress there
will be no funds left.

The Honesdale, Pa, Chronicle SAYS
that as Samuel Cliff was driving through a
daik and lonely piece of woods near White 5
hollow, about twelve miles from Homes
dale, he heard Il most unearthly yell from
some spot not far ahead of him in the road
This was followed 10y mans voice shout
ing in terror, For God S sake hurry up, -
Mr.. Cliff whipped up his horses, and a
short distance ahead found a man standing
III the middle OF the road holding a COW by
a rope aronnd it's horns. The cow was
rlunging about if greatly frightened.
and the man, William Loyeland, of Alden
vile, was also in much terror. He said
that as Ire was walking along, leading his
cow, he heard something come bounding
through the bushes, and then a large an
imal spTang into the road. From the size
aud action of the beast, Loveland knew
that lie was confronted by n panther
The animal crOuched on the ground for an
instant, and then with wild scrcech it
sprang and fastened itself on the back of
the COW. The noise Of the horses running
toward the spot seemed to scare it, for it
jumped OFF into the woods. The marks of
the panther's teeth and claws were visible
on the cow back.

TIE Baltimore Sun says ''that when it
was announced that Mr.. Tilden was elected
the prospects of business were momentarily
frightened. Everybody began to feel that
the worst was over, and that we were at
the dawn of a new era Of peace and pros
perity. There were signs of reviving trade
in the increase of orders from the South
and the interior cities. But when it was

BIRTH AFTER DEATH.-The Selincs-
grove Times is responsible for the following
remarkable, not to say improbable story !:
a man named Comfort lives about thee
miles back of McKee's half Falls, SNYDER
county. 1t appears tha: he and his wife
did not live agreeable together. Several
weeks ago she died, and after death black
and blue spots appeared on her face and
other parts of her person. She was bur
ried according to usual custom. There
soon was talk in the neighborhood that the
woman had been foully dealt with and that
her death was probably caused by violence.
The talk finally eliminated in general ex-
citcmcnt, and at the end of nine davs after
burial the corpse was dug up again for ex-
animation by three physicians, Dr. Back
house, DIR. Kirchner and another physician
whose name we cannot recall. The corpse
was already too far decomposed to detect
indications of violence. but to the utter
astonishment of the physicians they dis
covered that the woman had given birth TO
child after she was buried, the like of
which has probably never been heard of
before.
