IN the parishes where It is alleged that votes were
kept from the polls by Intimidation the total vote OF
said parishes as large at any time heretofore.

COLUMBIA, S. c., December 1.-The stu

cupied the house of representatives since
twelve o'clock yesterday. Numerous propo-
sitions for a compromise availed nothing. 1t
is now half-past one o'clock and the United
States troops have not interfered. The Dem
ocratic representatives from Edgefeld and
Laurens are still in their seats. 1t is now
likely that a sufficient number of Republicans
will unite with the Democrats, in which event
the entire matter will be settled.

TIE HEROIC DEAD SLANDERED.

While the loyal Inhabitants of oul
country are mourning the mishap of the
gallant Custer, sorrowing for the death OF
the noble young men who lost their lives
while battling against the foes of all
civilized men, the New Orleans Democrat
takes occasion to say:
Among the killed in the massacre on the
Little Horn we notice the names of Lieu
tenants Hodgson and Mcintosh. Hodgson
was the lieutenant who led detachment
OF Dog Merrilrs troops through North
Louisiana with Seelye, arresting peaceable
citizens, Handwriting them, and chasing
them through the country. Mcintosh was
the brute who headed detachment of the
came troops and led them on similar raid
into the parishes Of Red River and Natchi-
tOches.
The heart that could indite paragraph
like the foregoing, at such time, fills
the average American mind with horror.
It is something to shrink from. Fair
play is jewel in the American coronet.
The true American can do justice to his
worst enemy, under all circumstances.
Here is an attempt to heap infamy upon
the dead. The words written to degrade
our dead soldiers may reach the eyes of
loving mothers. wives, sisters, and wound

the several States and place under the
protection Of the constitution il At,for
such action. It is aquestion Of taste and
policy, and there is no argument in
the demand that it Or any other
matter Of general interest ought to
be left to the several political mu-
inequalities designated for convenience
as States. Such duties and privileges as
the constitution leaves with the several
States remain intact till taken away; but
there is nothing which may not be regu-
lated by the paramount sovereign power,
when exercised in the manner provided
by the constitution. As to the propriety
OF taking the control Of the school ques-
ton from the States and vesting it in Con-
gress, people may, honestly enough differ;
but the Republican party has declared for
the affirmative. The Democrats are at
liberty, however, to take the negative
The power Of the people to adopt this
amendment is clear and unquestionable,
and we do not believe we shall ever have
perfectly secure system until it is exer-
cised.
We regard Governor Hayes letter a
clear, manly, statesmanlike exposition Of
the matters referred to, and shall be glad
to see as good one from Mr.. Tilden.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-07-11

deeper than desth. The thought is too
terrible. Granting that the officers
named executed orders in this State
which did not meet the approval Of the
Democratic State Central COMMITTEES, is
that any reason why they should be
followed to the very grave with
such epithets as make humanity shudder
for humanity's sake? The officers of the
Seventh Cavalry who fell with Custer were
officers of the United States army, gen.
tlemanly and accomplished, and among
the best in the service. They died glo-
riously, fighting savages who are more
cruel, if possible, than the bulldozers of
the South. When their precious Gfeless
bodies, after such deaths, are being wet
with the tears of comrades and loved
friends, is it good to speak Of the gallant
dead as dogs and brutes? Heaven forbid!
1t should be remembered that we are
now in the centennial year of the nations
existence. To heal all differences of
opinion there must be some forgiving
done on both sides of the line which the
rebellion drew. All antipathy against the
soldiers of the United States should have
gone out when the curtain fell on the
drama of the war. On the tenth of July,
1876, the New Orleans Democrat speaks
Of the administration as
Overruning Louisiana with Dog Merrills,
Phi! Sheridans, De TrObriands, and their
rutfian soldiery.
Major Merrill graduated from West
Point twenty years ago. He has clean
army and war record that can not be
furnished by epithets applied by Demo-
cratic organ. Glorious Phil Sheridan
needs no introduction and no defense. He
always speaks and fights for himself when
occasion requires. Colonel De Trobriand
is at present in this city, and he is not Of
fensive to the general public. 1t is to be
regretted that the soldiers of Colonel De
Trobriand's regiment should be even in
directly referred to as rufians. Dissen-
sions can never be healed by the
use Of such language. We are proud
of the soldiers of the United
States army, Notwithstanding Congress-
men Cox and Randall want them mus
tered out and we desire they shall be
spoken of respec fully, and not termed
rufians while in our midst and conduct
ing themselves properly. For the noble
dead, who have given up their lives while
fighting the battles of their country, we
bespeak immunity from all SANDER.

However conservative the thinking men
of the Democratic party may attempt to
be, there are those in the ranks Of the party
who will overstep all plans Of policy and
go to extremes hurtful to the general pur-
pose. The Danville Nenes, of Virginia, says:
drum all drones from our camp. Show
no mercy to struggles. Keep our hands
and noses clean. Trust in God and the
rightfulness Of our cause. Shout the watch
word, reform" The indisoreet editor has
taken reform in literal sense, and advo-
Gates radical change in the party of the
great unwashed. Make it duty for every
Democrat to keep his hands and nose clean,
Is the Danville man hopes and prays for,
trusting in God and good soap, and all
barrel house influence is Immediately de-
and with it the strength of the
Democratic party.
