The Resolutions Adopted Breathe the
Usual Determined Spirit.

Pursuant to call of chairman of county
central committee, the democracy of Wash
iagton county assembled at the court house,
last Saturday. for the purpose of selecting
delegates TO the state convention at Indian
apolis. Jan. sth, and giving some expression
OF their views upon the present political sit
uation.

delegates 10 the state convention were ap-
pointed and several resolutions adopted
among which were the following:
That we demand of our representatives in
congress that they use all their influence and
constitutional authority TO secure a fair
count OF the electoral vote for president and
vice president, assuring them of the con-
sciousness OF our convictions that the dem
ocratlc candidates are Justly and
legally entitled to the offices to which they
have been elected; and that we feel that the
inauguration of Hayes and Wheeler would
he in violation of the spirit of the constitu-
ton and the expressed will OF the people
and would be regarded as a triumph of fraud
and detrimental to the prosperity of the
nation and the perpetuity of our govern
ment.
That any decision made by the two houses
OF congress viii be cheerfully acquiesced in
by the whole people, and that any attempt
10 inaugurate president simply upon the
proclamation of the president of the senate
Will be an act OF usurpation.

That any attempt to inangurate a presi-

be an act of usurpation destructive and dan

posed and advocated by the leaders of the
republican party, for the president .of the
senate to arbitrarily count and declare the
electoral vote without recognizing the right
of the senate and house of representatives,
or either of them to participate therein, as
contrary to all precedent, contrary 10 the
constitution, subversive of civil liberty and
a direct step towards revolution; and we
call upon our senators and representatives in
congress to urge such action and legislation
by congress as will preserve our system of
popular government, as will prevent the
contamination oil acts of fraudulent return
ing boards and secure TO the people the in
auguration of the men OF their choice

had difficult operation performed upon her
ears for the purpose of reducing them to the
ordinary size of such appendices. The lady
is accomplished and pleasing to all who
meet her, but zap to this time she has suf-
fered great annoyance from the fact that her
ears were far beyond the proper dimensions

was being performed. The surgeon believes
that the ears will be all right again within a
few weeks. The unfortunate members of
the editorial fraternity, whose ears hang
over into their inkstands, need not gather
any encouragement from this item for the
reason that the surgeon aforesaid declares
that an operation that was possible in the

government to foist upon the country their
candidates for president and vice president
/, by means, IA certain states, of return

leaders have in the past again and again de-
nouneed as corrupt and dishonest, to force
results in those states clearly contrary to

caused to be proclaimed as electors for these
states persons who have cast their votes for
candidates against whom the people of these
states voted at the recent election;

of the senate without any restraint upon his
conduct, and contrary to all precedent 10
open and count, despite the Judgment of the
houses of congress, and uncontrolled by
them the votes whereby the president and
vice president are to be elected, is a wicked
violation of the constitution and usage
of the republic; is reasonable and
revolutionary, and can be successfully
accomplished only by endangering if not
destroying the republic itself, and ought
therefore to be prevented by the peoples

One of the most cruel things that the con-
gressional committee has done in New Or
leans was to let the light in on Eliza
Pinkston's testimony. To think of the en-
ergy and perseverance that the radicals used
in getting up that testimony, and now, alas,
all destroyed. With what pride all the
northern radical prints regarded it. The
testimony before the committee yesterday
used the story up. Those whom she charged
with numbering her husband have proved
that they were twenty miles away at the
time the murder was committed. What
will the Cincinnati Commercial and the
Journal do without this testimony? Take
away the old stereotyped Hamburg story
now. and their stock in trade is gone. How
will the northern heart ever be fired
again? These southern outrages are dis
tressingly scarce. What is the matter with
Wade Hampton and Genera, Gordon that
they are not out cunning for ringers and
