GOVERNMENT CREDIT. James
Buchanan was the last of the long
series of Democratic Presidents
During his administration loan OF
twenty millions was effected, OH
considerable portion of which twelve
per cent. interest per annum was
paid. Gen. Grant is the second Re-
publican President, and, in the last
few months, during the very time
the Democrats are bowling about
the danger of bankruptcy to the
Government, of the terrible depres-
sion in business owing TO Republic.
Can lule OF mlslule, ii loan mas Ueen
effected by the Administration of a
large sum, on which only four and
a half per cent. interest is paid.
So much for Il Democratic financial
administration and d Republican

ADAMS AND THE IRISH. Charles
Francis Adams is the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Massa-
chusetts, and the Irish propose to
vote for him, not because his name
is Charles Francis, but because he
is a Democrat. There was a time
when Adams had about as mucli
respect for an Ilishman us cat has
for a rat. The Fenian that fell into
British clutches and looked for Mr..
Adams to say kind word to save
him from the halter or the cell,
looked in vain. AS Minister to Eng
land, Charles Francis considered it
beneath his dignity to save the life
Of an Irishman if he could. Now
the Irish reward him by their votes.
One consolation is left-they can
not elect him.

BY fire on West Madison ST., near Canal
in Chicago, before daylight on Monday
morning, four persons were burned to death
One of the four buildings that were destroy
ed was a restaurant kept by man named
Cockell, who employed considerable help
who slept in the rear part of the second story
Cockell himself and family had been awak
cned by James Allen, boarder in the house
a tailor 81 years Of age, who had come from
Boston only last week. After he had awak
ened nearly every one in the house, he took
his overcoat upon his arm and got out upon
the sidewalk. Finding that there were ye
persons in the building, he managed to ge
back. A poor girl named Agnes Healy, age(
II, who had been waiter at the restaurant
was hali-crazed, suilocating with smoke, and
crying TO be saved. He seized her around
the waist, and was about to carry her to d
window, but escape was cut of, and the tive
persisted together, and in tins way they were
found, charred and liieless, clasped in each
others embrace.

The returning board at New Orleans ON
Tuesday, in their efforts to prove bulldozing
IN certain parishes to justify their meditated
election swindle, introduced a cClored woman
OF Ouchita parish, who told story that do
cidedly caps the climax of all the stories We,
ground out by the southern outrage mill The
bulldozers not only killed this woman's hus-
band, but killed one of her babies, and out,
ragged her person and inflicted shots, cuts and
bruises enough upon her 10 indicate that
nothing but the possession of double the
mythical nine lives of the cat could possibly
have saved her from death then and there.
There Is reason to believe that some such
outrage as she detailed was committed, and
the whites Offered TO produce any amount of
evidence that the whole affair was among the
negroes themselves, and that politics had
nothing whatever TO do with il; hut the board
plead want of time TO hear the evidence, and,
correctly enough, referred the parties TO the
courts for a thorough sitting of the case. The
only cause of complaint is, that the board did
not take this view of il before 1t allowed this
shocking and palpably distorted a. ylrtc
statement 10 SO before the country.
Both Gov. Palmer and Gen. Sherman ex
pressed an earnest hope that, on the score OF
common humanity, some evidence either in
confirmation or mitigation of such an outrage
nigh; be allowed TO be heard no matter what
party suffered, and in Difference to their wish
next day some rebutting evidence was admit
ted. The whites showed the had character of
the woman; that she had tried TO kill her
own child that the day after the outrage she
had stated that her husband had been killed
because he had expressed an intention to vote
for the democrats; and finally that negroes
only were concerned in the outrage II Is
curious however, that neither the democrats
or republicans Of the parish, nor Kellogg's
public authorities, ever took any notice of the
affair. Now, however, there is a prospect
that j; will get into the courts. and that the
real facts OF the case will be brought to light

The Aurora NcdcS, in attempting to ride It's
new hobby of an Intelligent ballot" lands
apparently in an uncomfortable logical quag
mire. In regard to suggestion of the FREE
TRADER, that if the Intelligent ballot had
obtained at the recent presidential election
Hayes would have been badly beatep, the
Netos is compelled to confess:
All this may be true. The Dtjly Ners has
not argued this question from a partisan view
Ii has said nothing regarding the injury nor
the benefits it would bring to either party,
but has aimed to raise itsJlf at least for the
time being from the trickery of partisanship
and step out upon the broad platform OF
right. If Mr.. Hayes
or any other man, cannot get the ma joriiy of
the intelligent vote OF the United States he
ought not to be President of those United
States.
Positively, that sounds like weakening on
Hayes.
The Ne,osIs in errOw, however, in saying that
the FREE TRADER is anxious TO make Intel.
ligent suffrage" party question, 10 the pre-
iudice of the republican party. The FREE
TRADER, with most of the democratic party.
as early as 1866, insisted on the application
of the intelligence qualification to the voters,
black and white, in the reconstructed states
of the South, and If the plan had been adopt
cd, good government and material prosperity
would have re!gned there long ago.
No greater evil can afilic; any state than a
large ignorant voting population that can be
voted en- masse, either by adroit and unscru.
pulous leaders, or, as has often been the case
in the south, by bayoHet persuasion, or who
can be "bulldozed' from voting at all or vot-
ing against their will. If 800 voters in West
Feliciana, La, with L. 5. marshals and sol
diers TO back them. allowed 500 white men 10
"bulldoze" or scare them from voting, they
didn't deserve the right TO vote. There is no Law
nor sound principle that allows indisputably
legal votes, actually cast, to be Offset or null
lifted By bulldoted votes that were not cast

the state assembly their certificates, and ev-
erythlng passed of as quietly as possible, and
yet 1t is charged That the election in this
county was carried by fraud, violence and
intimidation. | am for IA fair count let who
will be president, ana there is not particle
of doubt that Tilden carried this state fairly
and honestly, against all the frauds, violence,
and intimidation on the other side, because
all that was done by the negro patty to my
certain Knowledge. Before The election one
negro was beaten nearly to death by these
men for saying that he should vote the demo-
cratic ticket; others were threatened with
having their houses burned and with being
mo6bed If they voted that ticket
LET US BE HONEST.
FINALLY, says the n. Y. Ecening Post.
The Intelligent and honest men of all par
ties have but one wish in regard to the presi-
dental vote. 1t is that it be fairly ascertain
ed and fairly proclaimed. They will allow
no faint of suspicion of fraud or humbug to
hang about the result. If Mr.. Tllden has
majority of the electoral votes, as it was re-
ported he had the day after the election, the
whole nation will acquiesce IN his success.
But If, having really such a majority, the at.
tempt is made to count him out the nation
will not acquiesce The better class of the
republicans themselves will be among the
frs. to protest against the wrong. We saw
this because we desire to impress it upon the
counting boards in the several disputed states
that their action must be open, honest and
above suspicion. 1t is not the ambition or
personal pride of the candidates that is at
stake, but the interests, the honor and per-
haps the peace of the country, and these must
not not be triled with by either side.
Amen

One reason why j. Madison Wells, the
boss of the Louisiana returning board, is sc
determined to count Hayes in, is that he has
little southern claim before Congress OF
$450,000, which he knows there is no hope
of having allowed if Tilden is made presi
dent. He has doubtless substantial assur
ances enough from the Hayes ring to give
his backbone the requisite rightly for any
emergency.

The bungle in mixing up the names OF
James j. and Joseph j. Castles on the repub-
lican electoral ticket resulted IN the loss of
over 5000 votes to Joseph Castles, which
were counted as scattering. There were not
enough such voters, however, to defeat Jos.
Castles as one of the electors.
