The Stars and stripes.
Such is the name of a new secret
political order which is being rap
idly organized by the radicals
throughout the country, for the
purpose Of inaugurating Hayes at
all hazards. Gov. Hantraft, of
President Grant, Gen.
and Major w. H. Decker
seem to be the prime leaders in this
and rebellious move
ment. They should be arrested
upon the charge of treason.
Hon. David Hubbard, an old citi-
zen of Lawrence county, Ala, and
a prominent politician of other
days, died at Holly Springs, Miss,
last month. Maj. Hubbard was So
years old. He was a member of
Congress long before the war, and
was first beaten for that Office by
Hon. Geo. S. Houston, now Gov
erno= of Alabama.
Senator Morton is reported as
saying in the presence of three
gentlemen at the Ebbitt House, one
of whom repeats the remark to Gen.
Banning, that the Northern Demo
Gratis would not fight and had no
grit in them, ard all the Repubi-
can party had to do was to move
this thing through.
The indications are that the rad
icals have about abandoned the un-
Senable position and impudent as
sumption that Ferry is to count in
the President. Morton's bill will
pass both houses, and its provisions
will solve the problem peaceably,
and, we believe, elect Tilden.
Wade Hampton was peaceably
inauguraJed Governor of South Car
DINA on the I4th, and delivered
ringing, heightened, conservative adj
dress, which was received with great
enthusiasm by the immense crowd
in attendance. There was no dis
turbance whatever.
The crisis is near at hand in
South Carolina. Chamberlain will
attempt to arrest Wade Hampton
with special constables. Hampton
says he will surrender to corporal
of the U. S. army, but never even
to fifty thousand of Chamberlain
constables.
President Grant is the chief bull
dozer of the nation. He impudent-
ly confesses to Congress that he
sent troops into Virginia on the rep
reservations of an irresponsible, un-
named radical. Impeachment is
heap too good for such a president.

It has been decided ia the courts
that if a partner of a dissolved firm
neglect to give notice through the
newspapers, of a dissolution of
partnership, he is equally liable with
his late partner for all debts con-
tracted after dissolution.

And now comes Senator Key
again voting in favor of Senator
Edmunds' bill to refer the electoral
vote to the Supreme Court. He is
the only Senator claiming to be a
democrat who voted for this imfa-
nous proposition.
| The cold on the day of the inter
ment of the victims of the late the
atre confagration in BROOKLYN, New
York, was intense, tears freezing
on the face as they issued from the
eyes of mourners.
This is the time when a man re-
allies how much better it is to be
an innocent child sliding down the
banisters than to ste.rd around a
bulletin board and not know which
side to rholler for"
General Rush, of Wisconsin, is
reported as asserting in Washing
ton, the other day, that "the next
House should be Republican by
force, end that it will be the mis-
sion OF the army to make it so.
The testimony elected by the
congressional committees is damag'
ing to the conspirators. Their vii.
lainies are being exposed, and some
of the strongest witnesses are theil
own partisans.

Louisiana, Florida and Soutl
Carolina are ''badly governed prov
inces," as they are termed by tbs
n. Y. Tribune. They could be
nothing else under the rule of radi
cal thieves.
The Democrat says true coun
of the vote in Louisiana gives TIT
i Democrats a majority of twelve OF

gave the Republicans twenty-on,
majority.
