The Jefferson Banner and Water
town Democrat, in their anxiety to
make out case against the republi
cans in South Carolina and Florida.
are guilty of a great perversion of the
truth. They represent that in both of
the states named Tilden has been
cheated out of the electoral vote by the
most barefaced frauds. There is no
warrant for any such assertion, and
the Banner and Democrat are presum-
ing greatly upon the ignorance of their
readers IN making the statement. The
Hayes and Wheeler electors had ma.
jority on the face of the returns in
both South Carolina and Florida, with
out throwing out single vote on &C.
count of frauds or bulldozing. The
report of the Returning Board in the
latter state was unanimous, being
signed by all the members, Republi-
cans and Democrats. The only ques-
ton about which there was any dis
pu,e is as to the state ticket. The
same is true in South Carolina.
Including Laurens and Edge6eld coun.
ties, which were thrown out by the
Returning Board: the Hayes electors
were handsomely ahead. and the only
effect of excluding them was to in
crease the Republican majority. Wade
Hampton, who claims to have been
elected Governor. (by counting the
two counties above named) admits
that Hayes carried the State, and so
telegraphed the President. The OBJ
of the Banner and Democrat in setting
mp this false claim can easily be seen.
1t is to make it answer as justi6ca-
ton for the fraud attempted to be
practiced by the democrats in stealing
an electoral vote in Oregon. Lying
is a necessary adjunct of stealing ;
hence the Banner and Democrat are
compelled to practice the former by
way of covering up the latter.

TO the People of the United States:
The National Democratic Committee
announce as the result Of the Presiden.
tial election held on the 7th of Novem-
Der, the election of Samuel j. Tilden,
of New York. as President and Thomas
A. Hendricks, of Indiana, a. Vice
President of the United States. We
congratulate you on this victory for re-
form. 1t now only remains for the
two houses of Congress, in the per-
formance of their duty on the second
Wednesday in February next. to give
effect to the will of the people thus ex-
pressed in a constitutional mode by a
majority of the electoral votes, and
confirmed by mojority Of all the
states. as we'll as BY an overwhelming
majority of all the people Of the United
States. By order of the Executive
Committee.
ABRAM s. HEWITT, Chm.
This gross fa!sehood was promptly
and properly met with the following
refutation;
WASHINGTON, December l3, 1876
To the People:
An address has tonight been issued
by the Democratic committee. It is
the last desperate attempt to prop a
failing cause. Governor Hayes has
been fairly elected by clear majority
of the electoral vote. There is no in
dication that any right-minded citizen
has doubt as to the result. The ad-
dress of the Democratic committee is an
impudent and audacious attempt to
prejudice and pervert public judg.
ment. Hayes and Wheeler are elected
and the will of the American people
will be carried out and maintained.

Butler, the hero of the Hamburg mas

EVIDENTLY the shining lights of the soft
money doctrine and the Western Democracy
would be held in high regard in Turkey. That
country is about to issue paper currency,
"based on the wealth and honor ofthe nation"
TheTurks are yet in the darkness ofignorance
on one point; they protest--too much the world
will think-that they intend to redeem the
notes in ten years. Our Western fnanciers
will make evident to them that there is no
necessity of paying the notes at all. Let the
apostles of the cult of the rag baby migrate to
Turkey, don the fez, appear as Pashaw Carey,
and Bey Ewing, and they will be received
with open arms by the new Sultan. There
may be some opposition by the bloated money
lenders of Lombard Street and the Bourse,
but that can be easily overcome, for the opin-
ions of foreigners are as distasteful in Turkey
as in the West.

GERMANY, which has remained so quiet
through the Turco- Servian campaign, is
getting restive under Russian insinuations,
and the two great papers, the Golos and the
Allgemeine Zeitung, are scolding each other
with much bitterness. The Golos having
charged that Germany is pursuing warlike
policy, the Zeitung hits back by saying that
'ssuch an insinuation is an insult to Ger
many, and that Russia has now more reason
than ever to act considerably to the Ger
mans, seeing that she shows so little consid-
Grafton for other Powers in advancing her
interests in the East" To add to the Rus
sian comfort the Pail Mall Budget suggests:
ga state like Germany is never in want of
allies, and the more impetuously the Slavonic
propaganda is being carried on at st. Peters
burg and Moscow, the more does the idea
gain ground of uniting the forces Of the Ger
manic race-Austria, Germany AMI England
whose territory extends across the whole
of Europe, separating the Sclavonic from the
Latin races. Such an alliance, which would
join the strongest naval Power to the strong
est military Power in the world would be
fatal even to such a colossal state as Russia,
though supported by France as an ally; and
coldness between Russia and Germany
would be directly provocative OF this combin.
ston."

THE Austin (Texas) State Gazette is a
Democratic paper, but 1t does not Ike the
recent manifestations of the secession senti-
ment. 1t says: "We have had an example
in Texas in which the chief executive officer
has been returned to the United States Sen
ate by artful and insidious appeals to this
sectional sentiment. His whole administra-
tion has been characterized by it. Not that he
has not asseverated love for the Union and
proposed to work in harmony with the rep
resentatives of the other section, but has so
addressed himself to the popular mind as to
create the impression that he, of all others, is
true blue Confederate. His pro:estations
pass for naught in the face of his general
teachings. His influence has operated per-
niciously on the sensitive and popular mind.
1t has done more to create disrespect for law
than all else combined. A people marked for
individuality, as quick of apprehension as
execution, needs but little encouragement
from such source to induce turbulence and
resistance to law"

IT is now thought by the officials at Wash
ington that Mr.. Tilden paid no income tax
whatever, except for the years specified. At
tenton is called to the report that the follow
ing is the line of defense advanced by Gov.
Tilden: 'In 1861, the period of the alleged
false return, his two brothers, Henry and
Moses, lately deceased, were in the chemical
manufacturing business in Lebanon, but
financially embarrassed to such degree that
ruin was inevitable unless prompt and ample
relief came to hand. In this crisis Gov. Til
den advanced at different dates large sums of
sand dollars, out of his earnings, all or near
ly all of which was lost. This, he claims,
left his income at the figure given in his
sworn statement, and this is the defense to
the charge of perjury" The officials say
that if this is Gov. Tilden's explanation, it
would not disprove the charge of violation of
law. The law required Mr.. Tilden, under
oath, to state what his income was. 1t per-
mitted him, doubtless, to deduct from any
taxable return the amount actually lost in
business. II is not clear that losses in the
form indicated in his reported line of defence
could strictly be exempted; but, admitting
that such losses might legally be deducted
from the taxable return, still the law required
that the return should be made together with
the claim for exemption, if any, on the
ground of loss. Indeed, the blank returns
contain column wherein such claim could
be made. Such deduction cannot be made
at the discretion of the persons making the
return. The facts must be returned, and the
claim may be made, after which the revenue
officers have the right to inquire into the cor.
rectness of the return.

The South Carolina Democratic papers are
warning the ''detested min:ons" of the Re-
publican party that they "must be held to
stern and swift account by the community,
whose bitter foe they are," that "they will be
the men to suffer" if there is any disorder at
the polls, and that "the habit OF Furnishing
them might as well be begun at an early as
at late day." All this means that the
Mississippi plan is to be carried into effect in
South Carolina, and that Republicans are to
be kept away from the polls.

ELSEWHERE will be found full and inter-
esting account of the new method of cram
berry culture, introduced and perfected by
Mr.. A. K. Gile of Alfred. Some years since
Mr.. Gie conceived the idea of attempting
the cultivation of the cranberry on some
meadow land of little worth which be owned.
After many experiments and some failures he
achieved success, and the almost valueless
acres have been made to pay handsome
revenue. The results of his labors and
details of his method of cultivation are set
forth with gratifying fulness in the COM
munication which we publish to-day. 1t will
be read with interest and profit by those
landowners who possess land much like that
he has so successfully utilized, aud who will
be glad TO have the way pointed out to the
profitable cultivation of crop so remunera.

A Change Desired.

1t is becoming evident that the Democratic
speakers and press are right in their repeated
assertions that the people want change
Indeed, all indications point that way, and
this general desire for change will be
notably emphasized at the October elections.
But the Democratic organs make a serious
mistake in regard to the change called for
The change, which the people are taking
every opportunity to show that they long for,
is in the National House of Representatives.
They prefer that its roll-call should read 1eS
Republicans to 10S Democrats, instead of
reading, as at present, 1853 Democrats to 1Oo
Republicans. And as fast as they can get at
the Congressional Districts they will make the
change.
Two years ago the country wanted a
a Democratic House. That House has not
been of the slightest benefit to the country.
1t has made no legislation that would not
have been better to have lefc unmade. 1t has
failed to develop any capacity for government
The finances have not been improved, taxa.
tion has not been reduced, commercial dis
tress has not been removed. On the contrary,
much bad legislation has been attempted
and only defeated by the existence of a
Republican Executive and Senate. The
people, dscontented because of hard times,
chose Democratic House, and the times
have steadily been growing harder. Dis
satisfied with the experiment, the people
want another change, change to the old
condition of affairs, for they have found the
second state of the country worse than the
first, and they are minded to trust legislation
again to Republican hands, in strong hope of
beneficial result.

THE construction given by the Treasury
department to the law relating to bonds de-
posted as security for national bank crcula-
ion has been misunderstood, or not reported
correctly. While the statute mentions spe-
cifically that bonds bearing five and six per
cent interest can be deposited to secure such
circulation, and makes no mention of bonds
bearing lower rate of Interest, the depart
ment holds that Al per cents can be deposited
to secure such circulation at their par value
not market value, as enormously printed in
some newspapers. The a per cents can be
used to displace the bonds bearing and
per cent interest, but do not possess any ad-
vantage over the latter, as would be the case
if banks were entitled to circulation on the
market value, which is about Ill. The 5
and per cent, bonds deposited by national
banks are being withdrawn very fast, and the
a per cents substituted. 1t is expected that
fully $2O0,O00,0O of the A. per cents will be
taken by national banks and su bstituted for
bonds bearing higher rate of interest.

Pouring Tea.

Thehousekeeper says: There is more
to be learned about pouring out tea and
coffee than most ladies are willing to
believe. If these decoctions are made
at the table, which is by far the best
way, they require experience, Judgment
and exactness; if they are broug hit on
the table ready-made, it still requires
judgment SO to apportion them that
they shall prove sufficient in quality
for the family party, and that the elder
members shall have the stronger cups.
Often persons pour out tea, who, not
being aware that the first cup is the
weakest, and that the tea grows
stronger as you proceed, bestow the
poorest cup upon the greatest stranger,
and give the strongest to the very
youngest member of the family who
would have been better without any.
Where several cups Of equal strength
are wanting you should pour little
into each cup, and then go back, in
verting the order as you fill them up,
and the strength will be apportioned
properly. This is so well understood in
England that an experienced pourer of
tea waits till all the cups of the COM
pany are returned to her before she fills
any second time, that all may share
alike.
