THE SITUATIONS.

At this writing the situation in
the three contested States is per-
ceptibly unchanged. In South
Carolina the spectacle Of dual
legislature is presented. The two
bodies have occupied the House of
Representatives since the 30th Of
November. At II midnight they
adjourn and Immediately call on
again. The radicals have threat
ened to GUST the democrats with the
State constabulary and soldiery -
but the democrats hold on. Wal
lace is the democratic and Mackey
the radical speaker. Of the SO
radicals all are negroes except four.
The democrats arc firm aud cheers
full. Two of the most prominent
republican members (colered) have
deserted the Mackey side of the
house and have been sworn in by
Speaker Wallace. The republic
cans are using desperate means to
save themselves, If the Federal
bayonot is stayed we have no fear
but that the fairly elected and le-
gally organized democrats will pre-
vail, and that Hampton will be
duly installed Governor of South
Carolina. 1t remains to be seen
whether or not the wiser counsel of
Secretary Fish will prevail, to let
these people settle their own affairs.
1t is the drowning man catching a.
a straw, this attempt of the radical
party to foist itself upon the coun'
try at the point of the bayonet.

Tile VIRGINIA Legislature Inc

THE Virginia Legislature meets
tomorrow. The session will be
an important one. Legislation
will probably be revised to accord
with the amendments recently
adopted, and will consume a good
deal of time. To postpone until a
new legislature shall be elected and
shall assemble in December, 1877,
will be to postpone any relief the
people expected in voting for them.
We presume public expectation will
be disappointed by any such delay,
and those who contribute to 1t will
meet with q stern and very prompt
chastisement. A Supreme Judge
instead of the late Judge BOuldin
will have to be elected, and this
should be among the first acts Of
the two houses. Several new MEM
bers will be seated in lieu of those
who have been removed by the angel
of death. If the amendments had
been defeated the session would
have been short, probably sixty
days and no more. AS it is we
shall necessarily have a long one.
What the national dead lock may
generate cannot be foretOld, but
we hardly. think it will many way
invade the business of the General
Assembly. But who knows q
Judge Bond and General Grant
still live and the latter knows that
he cannot trust the unwillingness
of the Senate to convict him should
the House impeach, and he well
knows that conviction could not
reach him before the Constitution
would remove him legally on the
4th of March. Maybe he will yet
stack arms around Houdon's statue
of Washington in the rotunda OF
our capitol. If he can overthrow
the South Carolina Legislature he
can overthrow ours in Virginia.
Will the Despot permit to meet it at
all2

Another case of intimidation
This time johnson Co. Tenn. sends
a negro man to the Ponitentiary for
marrying a white woman. Carter
county sends another colored
brother to the Penitentiary for
raping white woman. So these
two beloved loyal counties construe
it all the same whether a colored
man marries a white women oil
rapes her. The same train took

The developments in Florida
must be disgusting to every fair
minded republican in the land (;
and if the Hayes electors are coun-
ted In we do not believe the high-
handed outrage will be tolerated
by the intelligent portion of the
American people.
Louisiana is in the hands of the
philistines, but we yet hope that
the right will prevail and that Til"
den will receive, as he is justly en-
titled, the vote Of that State. Be-
fore another week rolls by the crisis
will, in all probability, have been
passed in the three States above
mentioned, and the matter settled,
so far as the returning boards car
settle it.

GOV. HAYES.

There is more in the story OF Gov
ernOr Hayes's contemplated with
drawal from the disgraceful contest
now kept up to foist him into the presi-
dency than may be imagined. 1t Ia
known that Governor Hayes has for
some time had considerable misgIving
as to the propriety OF even tacit
acquiesence on his part in the ques-
tionahle methods by which 1t is hoped
to give him n nominal majority Of the
electoral votes. But a tremendous
pressure has been brought to bear on
him to stick, and the argument has
been used with him that he has moth
ing to do with the matter as It stands
at present, and that whatever he may
conclude to do when the proper time
arrives IL will not become him TO act
until after the electors meet and cast
their votes.
The above is from the Washing
ton Correspondence to the Balti-
more GAZETTE. If it be reliable
it exhibits Gov. Hayes in a very
unenviable light. The whole OBJ
ject of any such delay is to await
an election" and resign. This
would defeat Gov. Tilden all tho
same, and cause the President of
the Senate to succeed to the Presi-
dency. We disbelieve in any such
pious fraud which is to be Matched
in Hayes brain. He must disclaim
in time or he is guilty. AT any
rate we believe he will accept the
Presidency anyway he can get it.

What Republicans Have Done,

From the Albany (N. " Journal.
The Republicans are charged by
their adversaries with Financial
imbecility." Let us test this state
ment by what they have actually
achieved. We take the facts and
figures from the official records,
and they speak for themselves.
Since 1866 the Republicans have
decreased the public debt $50,
POI ,020.74that is, they have
wiped out nearly a quarter of the
entire debt.
They have reduced the annual
interest account from $143, 3,7S1 ,5S1
to $103,0S3, ,544-thus eAecting an
annual saving of $40,6SS,047.
They have accomplished a re-
duction of $203, ,419,553.54 a year
in internal revenue taxes, and of
$50, ,564, 1881 in the taxes-thus
mallinga total reduction in taxa
ton of more than two hundred
millions.
They have made a reduction in
expenditures since 1873 of $26,-
00O,000-the aggregate expendi-
lures for the past fiscal year, with
which the Democratic House had
nothing to do. being so much less
than in 1873.
They have cut down the actual
ordinary running expenses of the
Government until they are less
than the tax levied for those ex-
penditures which are due to the
Democratic rebellion.
They haye by wise and faithful
management, improved the pub
lie credit so that the Government
can now borrow at 5 per cent,
and thus substitute 5 per cent.
bonds in place Of 6 per cent. and
thus save the interest, whereas
under Democratic administration
the credit Of the country was so
impaired that the Government
could not borrow at less than -
per cent.
Is this a record of Financial i'm
becility2" These are the facts
from the official reports. These
are the things which have been
accomplished in the face of Dem
ocratic opposition. DO they point
to the policy Of trying democrat
ic reform?n

He Had Rights.

to Hoyle and the laws Of the Gus.
tom-hOuse, was sold at auction in
front of the post Office yesterday
The auctioneer had no sooner
asked the crowd to speak up than
a boo tblack cried out:
"Twee-enty-nine cents"
The auctioneer looked around
at him with contempt in his eyes,
and then went on:
"Come, gentlemen, let US have
Il bid"
"Twee-enty nine centsw cried
the boy again.
The auctioneer looked at him
again, seemed a little astOnished,
and after a while remarked:
"Who will give me a bid on

of his voice.
"You want to keep STILL" warn

"Hain't this an auction, and

the boy.
"Now then," said the auction
eer as he turned to the crowd,
"let's have a bid to start this
horse"
,"Twen-ty-nine cents!' roared
the boot black.
After the laugh there was long
pause, broken at length by voice
bidding ten dollars.
"That swamps my pile, and I'm

nine cents, and went away feel
ing that he had not been fairly

How a'SEan Hattered and Stab
bed his Companion AL
ulOsf Ia Deafh.

WATERTowN, Wis, Aug. 16-Two
men named w. BittBer and A.
Neitzel, left here on Monday eve
ming for hunting excursion in
the country. They had been
drinking quite freely during the
day, and when about five miles
from town a dispute arose in re-
gard to breech- loading gun Nett
eel was carrying. The gun had
been taken apart, and Neilzel
asked Bittner to put it together.
Bittner said he never had done
anything of the kind, and would
not. Angry words followed, which
resulted in blows. Neitzel struck
Bittner with the butt of his gun,
knocking him from the wagon to
the ground, senseless, and badly
fracturing his skull. Not satisfied
with what he had already done,
he stabbed Bittnerin IA places on
different parts Of the body with a
sharp steel used for striking fire.
Parties from the city coming
along at the time found Bittner
lying senseless, and Neitzel near
by. He was acused of the deed
and said he knew nothing Of it,
and Immediately fled. Bittner was
brought to the city and placed in
the hands of Drs. Spaulding and
Eyer, who pronounced his wounds
fatal. Neitzel was captured about
three miles from town and lodged
in Jail.
