A. A. II. Butler, Mayor Of this city, lawyer. looked
up to and esteemed by all parties, remarkable for
freedom party prcjudces expressed the following
scntlmen 81 think the conduct OF tho republican
leaders In tho States OF Louisiana, South Carolina md
Fiorida'n counting Hayes IN was simply infamous l
say 1t as u lawyer and citizen. Taking newspaper
reports the basis OF my information, there
10 question that majority Of the
votes cast Ia Louisiana wore cast for Tilden
aud Hendricks, and that loading republicans OF
that State went deliberately to work to them
out and Hayes in, without regard TO the true facts OF
tho Il seems to mo the government and the
country stand the strain OF another civil war;
and believe leading democrats both North and South
will bo unit in recommending tho partyto
PEACEFULLY SUBMIT
should the evident intention Of the republicans to In
augurate Hayes carried effect, and patiently
pidc their time. think democrats better afford
to sec Hayes counted corrupty than the rcpubl-
cans can afford do It. the precedent dangerous
ono to suffer TO bo established but am not sure,
under all The circunstanccs that evon such precc
don't Is not better than cruel war, with no,Rhbors
and friends arrayed against each other"
MATTHEW KEENAN,,
one Of the most prominent democrats OF the city,
where he resided Tor many years, conservative,
far-mndod man, aud regarded Ms tho embodiment
OF Integrity and caution, has hoped all the that
rIgnt would prevail II would be generally accepted
BY republicans that filden was the choice OF
whcmlng majority OF the American people, but at tho
"A action oil republican committee
sent Louisiana, IN my judgment, tends to show

OF coarse is Impossible 10 ioresec what going
whether those who arc III powor Will stop 10
be fully advised as TO tho rights OF both parties In the
promises before proceeding to extremtos II would be
AN UNPARpoxABLE WRONG
for either party any step whatever until the

OF DOUBT The result or the Investigations now going

but that tho right will prevail II would appear tho
fuce reports thai the republican party had
unwarrAutcd steps to produce certain Results at tho
South which seem difficult TO justify. l 10 not find
much evidence OF excitement among our people,
but must say that any attempt on tho part OF those IN

D. g. Hooker, formerly Mayor OF this city, and
OF the careful lawyers I'm this part OF ths

reports should suppose that tho returning boards
ali three Slacs have done all they could Mr..
Ttlden out think II probable that tho committees
republican and democratic, that have gone South Will

Presidency tnnk he Will be sustained by the OF
tho American people. and the same as to Hayes
be able get at such facts IN connection with the
action Of Congress- that the people will bc able de-
eide who Is entitled 10 the office
WITHOUT BLooDsHRD.
The houses OF Congress ought not to be influenced
otherwise tnan by facts. DO not say they may not

Congress may 0nd and report such state or facts

formerly District Attorney for this county, now
attorney OF excellent standing, said:'I afraid,
from the reports IRON the south and IRON Washington
and from the attitude OF loading republicans that
they will attempt to naugurato Hayes, notwthstand-
ing the undoubed electoral majority OF Tiiden. II
wish 70 have this form OF government II will DO

rights Of the people. We do not want man In power
who will use the army aud navy and civil patronage

excitement here now. IL has subsdcd since the eec
tion II the House nds Tdcn elected and the senate
finds Hayes shall support Tilden, because he WAS,
fact, elected having received an overwhelming ma
jory OF the popular vote and OF the electors chosen
in fact; also because tho vote from oregon gives
