the Speaker announces that Gas no President

come the assailant of constituted authority

The Ftre stolen states.

Tie Democratic party has nearly exhausted
the air Of its political bellows in blowing the
insinuations of Republican frauds over the
country, and the time has come for It to stop
and consider the true condition Of things. An
analysis and comparison of the vote in the
Presidential election shows some very startling
figures, which tell strongly against the Demo
cratic party. In twenty-five Northern States
the Republican vote compared to Sll previous
votes shows decided Republican gains. The
New York Tribune says that the aggregate of
the largest previous vote was 2,608, AIT. This
yesr Il is ,940, ,42a, showing gain OF SS7, ,005.
The aggregate Republican vote in the
Southern States, comprising Florida, Ken
tucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and West
Virgins, is this year 74S ,3S9. In the same
States the aggregate largest previous vote was
$780, ,026. The gain is "a ,S5S. 10 the remain
ing seven Southern Ststes the Republican vote
Is diminished, but in three OF them, Delaware,
Virginia and Texas, the loss is so small
that It is not significant. The great
change, and the one which will sttract
the notice of the honest people of
the country as possessing much signifcsn snce,
bans, Mississippi and Georgia. In Alabama
Che Republican vote this year is 25,69s less
than two years age; in Mississippi, 30,06S less
, than in 1872; snd in Georgia, 81 ,1TS less than
the largest previous vote. In these States the
colored population is large, and among the
colored voters there exists a strong devotion
to the party that insured their freedom. Dies
It look reasonable therefore, or can any sensible
man for q moment believe that twenty-seven
per cent. of the Republican voters of Alabama,
thirty-seven per cent. of that of Mississippi,
and forty-ope per cent. of that of Georgia, and
abou: twenty per cent. of that OF Arkansas
refused to vote at all or voluntarily voted the
Democratic ticketl In these four States Tilden's
msjority was nearly 200 900, while in all the
other States it was only 10000. These are
points fraught with the most intense interest
Just now. In these four States over two hun
dred thousand Republican voters were denied
the light of the elective franchise. The
boas.ed popular majority Of Mr.. Tilden was
secured by this disfranehisement. Therefore
In celebrating on the settlement of our present
difficulties the question Of who is to be Presi-
dent sinks into comparative insigni6cance BE-
fore that of "shsll the purity of the elective
franchise remain inviolste from the assaults
of force and fraud!" There was nothing nat
ural or honest in the Democratic majorities
secured in the four States mentioned. And
great dangers threaten the liberties of the
American citizen unless such outrageous
frauds and iDfamies are punished and thor
oughly ersdicated

The virtue OF One EIecIoral Vote.

Mr.. jefferson says, in one of his incomplra-
bic disquisitions upon the Constitution, that
uuder our system of government majority
of one is better than 8 majority of one hum
dred. This aphorism is peculiarly applicable
to the recent election and It's influence upon
the Republican party. Had Mr.. Hayes OBJ
tained a majority Of thirty or forty in the
Electoral College it would have tended greatly
10 demorslize the party, by making its leaders
over confident of success in the next election.
The small majority by which our candidate
was elected will inspire renewed exertion In
the rank and file of the Republican party,
which will exhibit its happy effects in
the campaign of 1880, when, with q strong
man in the field, like President Grant, we
will recover our accustomed msjorities. Thus
VIII we be taught q valuable lesson by the re-
cent close election, and will experience the
wisdom Of Mr.. Jeffsrson's sagacious opinion
when be declared that "a majority of one "a

The Police Inye.ffrattou.

The investigation into the relations between
the police and the gamblers began at police
headquarters yesterday. To many dis
interested parties it appears from yes
terdsy's proceedings that the investiga-
tion was originated for whitewashing
purposes. If Major Richards had desired to
be acquitted of all charges and relieved of all
suspicion, he has made q mistake in bringing
before the Board and the public brace of
the .unprincipled blacklegs who have been
thriving In the very immunity they have
enjoyed for so long. A certificate of char
scter from these men will be worthless paper
in the eyes of the people. The persons con-
ducting the investigation in behalf of the
police have shown their hand. Seyeralin-
teresting things occurred at the opening
of the investigation yesterday, and not the
least interesting was Colonel VIM. A. Cooks
action. He proclaimed himself with a great
flourish as representing the people in conduct
ing the proceedings. He made many pious ejsc-
ulstions during the progress of the fnvestiga-
tion, and seemed to have an abiding faith in the
verscity of the blacklegs. His game, how
ever, was blocked when Mr.. Grow appeared
before the board and announced that he had
been requested to act as counsel for citizens.
Mr.. Cook showed his true colors. From that
moment be evidently did not attempt to
conceal the fact that he was there
for the purpose of shielding the gamblers, and
doing all in hts power to assist the Board in
getting everything but the truth, and the
whole truth. The results of yesterdays in
quiry are printed in another column, and are

Encounter with Burglars.

An English clergyman at st. Leonardson-Se,
has brave footman. Early In December bur
glars tore out bar from the bootroou window
and entered the parsonage. The footmsn slept
near the pantry, and was disturbed by hearing
something fall. he opened the door, and seeing 3
light in the pantry, went out, taking sword
stick. He shouted out, 'Who Is theref" and Inn
mediately a man with n blackened face put his
head out of the pantry door and whistled. The
footman sprang forward and struck the man
twice on the head. The burglar ran toward the
cutter doors, carrying part OF the plate in an
apron, but. being struck by the footman, he fell
between the doors and dropped his plunder. The
next moment the footman was struck violently on
the head and arm by another man from behind.
The men then ran out of the back door, which the
footman bolted and went for his master. In the
pantry was found the rest Of the plate collected
and ready to be carried of. The only thing
taken was the footman's watch and chain.

Mr, TiIden.s Bad Advisers.

1t is said that Mr.. Tilden claims his election
beyond the peradventure of doub., and that
be proposes to be insugurated at all hazards.
This ''all hazard" assertion is becoming more
and more noticeable among the Democratic
leaders. 1t is sure sign of their desperate
condition, as well as the evidence of bitter
chagrln which they experience in their de-
cliniug fortunes. An assertion of this kind
from Mr.. Tilden is exceedingly injudicious,
and shows what manner of counsel he Is
listening to. The most notorious of Demo-
cratic leaders have been closeted with the
Governor for the past week, and their advice
is having its desired effect. The vital inter-
ests and welfare of the nation is nothing to
them. What they want is supremacy, and
they are willing to destroy the peace of the
country to secure it. Mr.. Tilden has given
continuous audience to these men. He has
submitted to their scheme of holding mass
meetings throughout the Union on the Sth of
January. The object of these meetings is to
create public sentiment, and food the House
with petitions, remonstrances and memorials
urging the election of Mr.. Tilden by the
House at all hazards. 1t is a scheme Of dem
sgogues and tricksters, and can have nothing
tut a sinister and mischeyous tendency.
John Morrissey and David Dudley Field,
Tweed's counsel, and Duke Gwinn are the
promoters OF this dangerous measure. They
have impressed the importance of the under
taking on Mr.. Tildeu's mind until he now
heartily indorses It. Mr.. Tilden's tricky
counseIors are unconsciously setting trap
for him, and unless he avoids them in the
future it will be sprung on him unswares.
The Revised Statutes, he should remember,
say that any person who incites insurrectiou,
or aids aud abets those who incite insurrection,
is criminal before the law, and will be pun
ished with q long term in the penitentisry.
