From the spriD gueu Hepupncan.N

ton" and calumhy about tine returning
board of Louisiana, Messrs. William A.
Wheeler, George F. Hoar and Charles

liam MslteePheipsriBdePehdeht,-snd
Clarkson n. Potter, Democrat, are the
men who are responsible for it. They,
after full investigation, pronounced
Judgment against the board and the IN
tegrity of its acts. L. discredited IN
advance by the highest of Repu olican au-
thority. and, if there has been any mis-
chief done the men named have done it.
A returning board that DID IN 1874 what
these distinguished gentlemen said this
returning board did has no claims to
! the respect add confidence Of the country
There Is no safety for it but to accept
the local returns just as they are sent In
to it; or, if they reject any, only such as
respectable representatives of both parties
Examining into the facts will say they
ough to reject. OF itself, we repeat, the
board has no stand before the public, and
has no right to any. A Presidency OBJ
tanned through their acts may well be
disputed by either party. The country
ought not to acquiesce, and we do not be,
lieve will acquiesce, IN any Judgment Of
this board. that is not vindicated by it:
honesty and wisdom approved by wit
nesses of both parties.

The better sense of the Republican
party is asserting itself. The Chicago
Tribune denouuces the Louisiana outrage
IN advance, and scouts the notion TINT
the people Of the North will submit to
the election Of President by the throw
ing out OF votes that were not legally
east, or by the counting of votes that
we're net cast or offered to be cast. The
-pringfeld Republican insists that the
vote cast shall decide il; not the vote
which might have been cast, or which
some think ought to have been cast.
Both these great papers supported Mr.
Hayes, bat they do not propose to sacrifice
prit ciple tor the sake OF their candidates.
We wish we could say as much tor the
rest of the Republican press.

Reasons Enough.

The Republican papers are engaged IN
most elaborate attempts to prove that
South Carolina, Florida and LOUISIANA
have no ..reasons" to be democratic, that
they are naturally Republican. Let us
see. In South Carolins the actual and
adjusted debt in lr65 was Sl3,O3o,964; 10
1871 it was S22, 4S0,6l4; increase, SO, AL
$50. In 1860 the property valuation
amounted to $3.50, coo, 600; in 1870, Sl10,-
OJ) 900; decrease OF 81 per cent. The
tax levy in 1860 was $500 900; In 1873,
81, 10000; increase, 500 per cent. In
1860 the legislative expenses were S+O,-
900; in 1873, 1921, 900; increase, nearly
700 per cent.
In Florida, in 1865, the actual and adj
iusted debt was 81, 3O7, 9l7; in 1870, Sl6,-
$50 O72; increase, SIS, lS5,455.
In Louisiana the actual and adjusted
deb, at the close OF the war was Sl3,357,
999; in 1872, SAL 1864, 473; increase, S2S,-
506474.
No reasons" for being Democratic?
Reasons enough, say we!
There are the fruits of Republican
Government in the South. Does any
sane man doubt that these three States
have voted the Democratic ticket?

Facts for Hayes 10 Study.
from the New York sun

From the New York sun.
There are two facts in our history that
are worthy Of special notice in this emer
.eucy. Whenever a person has been
CHOSEN to be President, he has always
been in political accord with the party
which, nj the time OF his election, had II
majority Of the House of Representa-.
lives then in existence; and the party
which has prevailed in Presidential
contest has always carried II
majority of the House at the
same election. Or, in other words, the
msiority oil the House which joined with
the Senate in counting the electoral votes
las always been OF the SAME party with
the successful Presidential candidates.; and
the majority OF the House which came
iatp otfi,e ut the beginning OF II Presi-
demtial term has always been of tue same
party with the new President.
The ruling power IN our Government
was intended u b., and when il puts
forth lis full strength always is,the House
of Representatives. The trainers Of. The
Constitution intended To make its func.
tiOns: analogous To- those OF the House of
Commons. which, Tor the last wo hundred
and fifty Years. h.s set up
and pulled down administrations in
the British Empire and been
the governing element of the realm.
From the time of Washington TIL now
the elections to the House of Representa-
tives have afforded the best test of the
state o, public opinion in the country.
Tuose occurring 10 The miidle Of Presi-
d initial terms have foreShaloweI the
overthrow of the administration and
those in the Presidential yeaTS have
horne the successful candidates along
with them.
If Mr.. Hayes shall Ell ter the White
House in March, lie will bo the trst
President who ever took office in the face
of hostile outgoing and Incoming
House. With bare majority of one in
the Electoral, College, with universal
public convection that his success was
due TO fraud, with a majority of more
than 100000 against him at the ballot
boxes, with retiring House de
nouncing him rs usurper. and
confronted by House which holds IN
its hands the Key OF the Treasury and the
power of impeachment, and regards him
as having stolen his high Office from an
other to whom it rightfally belongs, we
fancy that the place will be as uncom-
Portable to himself as his administration
will be disastrous TO the peace and pros
perity of the nation.

A Turtle Story.

La Crosse sun.
The proprietor of of a Front-street sa-
loon had a fine live turtle, which he was
going to have made into soup Tor his
guests. 1t was under the ice-box, walt
ing for his time to come On Wednes-
dav night Mr.. Turtle mesndered out in
10 the bar-room. and waddled along to
where two soakers were sitting by
table taking in substance OF liquid
nature. The turtle quietly passed under
the table, and found an obstruction IN
the shape of a schooner made of leather,
with mans foot in the "hold." The
turtle hadn't no time to go round the
foot, so he started to climb over it. The
man who owned the foot felt something
and looked down. The futile saw him
and looked up with an appealing look.
The man turned pale and said: "Boys,
take me home and send for doctor.
| We got 'em?"
