fair dealing men to build on. 1t will
immortalize the four chief parties "a
whom II relates, namely, the President,
General Sherman. and the two candi-
dates for the Presidency, Hayes and
filden. These four men are likely fo
be IN accord with the spirit and letter
Of the Presidents document. 1t is
such aper as might be expected from
a man like Grant, who is of Scotch
Puri,ao stock. His Puritan ancestor s,
if they were alive, would applaud it to
the skies. He brea,hes the essence OF
faith of the Cov-naniers, Independents,
Puritsns, when be says, &" should there
be any grounds Of suspicion of fraud
ulent cnunt on either side, it should be
reported aud denounced at once. No
man worthy of the Office of Presiden,
should be willing to hold it if counted
in, or placed there by fraud" The
order passing into the chsrge of Cen
era. Sherman will be most faithfully,
saerediy observed for how could it be
otherwise than for Que of German ex-
tracti IN, like General Sherman, to fail to
enthuse under such a just declaration
of American governmental doctrine.
He would not be of the blood that se-
cured IN a great measure the freedom
Of conscience in Europe through the
thirty years war. 1t would be an out
rage on bis lineage to not be in accord
with the spirit and letter OF the Presi-
denI's despatch. But how will it effect
the other two men, Hayes and Tildeu
Ou the former-Hayes-rt Will fall as
the letter aud spirit indicates. Hayes
also comes of au almost purely unadul-
terated Puritan stock OF several cen
turies. The love of a popular govern
ment based on the will of the people,
who make and change their own laws to
suit circumstances, by peaceablemeans,
may be said to be ruling passion in
the people from whom he sprang. He
cannot but most highly approve of the
doctrines laid down by the President.
When you come to look at Sir. I'll
den, you are brought face to face with
different type Of man. lie is of a
higher lineage, viewed from an Europe
an standpoint. He is the only blood
ed man of the four, as1 the first can
dida,e the country has had, who is of
aristocratic descent. A scion Of noble
Norman family, it may well be ques-
toned whether be is in full accord with
the foundation ideas, or principles of
the Nor,beru states of the government.
He may indeed, for all the country
knows, be heartily in for everything
that is American, but his blood is
agains. him. He is net an arlstocrat
OF the cod fish kind Of pretense, but
one b. ancestry, by blood, aud can't
help it himself. He's the very opposite
of Old Andy, but still with all that ne
may believe in President Grants,
views. lhope he does. If you know
no more as to Who is elected President
than we do, down here at tn. Stars this
Saturday evening, you are in the dark
sure. If Tilden Is elected you must
still keep the colors flying. Remember
that i, is said Of bis noble ancestors,
"that king of France marched up hill
and then marched down again" If
they have marched up this time l guess
they'll march down again, IN four years
How do you guess

The Place to Settle Disputes and
Frauds.

The close electoral vote for the Office
OF President has been the cause OF a
great excitement iu cities and large
towns ever since election day.
BY a system of election laws in the
s;atrs o; Florida, l. Lluisiaua, aud South
Carolina, reliable return of the vote
polled, is not obtainable as in North
ren states, within 3 or ! days. Under
their system days may elapss before an
an announcement of the vote Is neces-
sary, or required.
On tie vote of the States named de-
penI the election of Hay. or Tilden.
Both parties have in turn claimed
aud at this writing, Tuesday morning,
do still. claim them, and So excited have
the .espective parties become IN the cities
that the charge of fraud has been husl-
ed at each other until the National
Committees of both parties, have
agreed to, and sent, a delegation of
prominent Republicans aud Democrats
down to witness the counting of the
vote in those states, and report the re-
suit of their observation.
The calmest Of men, amidst the ex
eitement of public men has been Pres
i6ent Grant.
To prevent improper con1uct, on the
part Of excited aud bal men, during,
aud previous to the counting of the vote,
he issued an order, which the reader
may find in the correspondence IN an
other column. The order is to Gen.
eial Sherman; its intention IS to coun-
teract any evil design entertained by
either Republican or Democrat on tie
fair count, and fair announcement ol
the vote.
1t is silly talk, for men to declare
that if fraud has been committed they
are willing to take the musket to
remedy the evil. They forget that
the cure would be worse than the
disease; the cure would take the life of
tha ra;ien:- the Republic.
Nhy should men vote and then fight
over zoe result OF the vote.i
States have laws for the punishment
of frauds at the ballot box; where frauds
have been committed the laws should
be enforced and the guilty punished.
Laws Oh the question of frauds at
the polls exist in every county, and ex-
tend in regular graduation. from the
township officer to the vote of state,
The places to settle disputes, aud
frauds, are in the Courts, in the Legis-
latures and in Congress as the case may
be.

A Conscientious Juror.

Yesterday morning Judge Briggs
graced the bench IN the new Court
house. When the Grand Jury for the
November term was being empannel!cd
a juror asked to be excused on the
ground that he was a member of the
Board OF Health, and he thought that
serving on the Grand Jury would inter-
fere with his Other business, aud vice
versa. Judge Buggs-You are not
excused. The Juror-Then l make
another excuse : l am a saved sinner,
and | could not sit on judgment on my
fellow men, and consequently l have
conscientious scrupIes. The Judge
What's that, Tie Juror God has
saved me by his grace, and it is not
consistent with the knowledge that God
has impaired to me to sit here and con-
denim my fellow beings. The Judge -
Do you mean to say that a man who
violates the law should not BE restrain
ed The Juror-Yes, sir, he should
be checked, but couldn't do il against
my conscience. The Judge-Well, if
conscience don't check him, shouldn't
he be checked BY the law of the land
When you see man make an unwar-
ranted attack upon another, don't you
think it would be Jour duty to restrain
him , The law of God Ought to be en-
forced as against the law breaker, un-
doubtedly. The Judge-Then you
will do. The Grand Jury was then
sworn in. with Mr.. David Tell as fore
man.-.North .4merican, Sfh inst
