ABOUT .,sErTLpSs 1T"


There is a great deal Of shallow talk
| going on In the newspapers about this
election business, which .betrays funda-
mental Ignorance Of the principles on
which our government is founded. In
deed, we know OF one or two great news
papers in Chicago whose editors
might. with advantage, read the constitu-
ton OF thc United States, and follow that
with some simple, elementary work on
law. These ableparagraph writer's are al
nays selling the occasion to declare that
Something or other "settIes IT, Some
Democrat whose heart is "a little too
warm tor the safety OF his head, mutters
threatenings about war, and straightwav

voice: That settles it, The country VIII

the country that threatens war upon it"
Or, If some such action is taken as that
of the Governor of Oregon. which these
youths think inconsistent with their no.
lion Of the law, they all bounce mp again
and say: THAT settles it. The people
will never allow the country to pass un.
der the control Of a party which resorts
to measures Ike that"
Nay We venture 10 remind these able
paragraphists that the campaign is over
II Is no longer q question 10 whom the

cent election awarded the victory. If

and which will debauch and demon

when the only thing that can settle it is

against them. When it is remembered
that an attempt has been boldly begun to

utle them TO a grand place in our history.

~ WOODWARD INELIGIBLE

Alr. Woodward, Of Carbon dale, was
sembly a. the election in November. IT
is now asserted that, being ineligible
under the constitution, lac will not be
permitted 10 occupy the seat that he has
no doubt is waiting for him in the cosy
chambe of the new state house. The
heavy weighted men of logic who make
this assertion, have reached their
conclusion by this process Of
reasoning: The constitution says that
no person holding any lucrative Office
under this state shall have q seat in the
general assembly: the city Of Carbon
dale Is organized under a state law, and
therefore all the officers of Carbonate
hold Office under the state; the offices OF
Carbondale are lucrative offices /; Wood
ward is city attorney Of Carbondale ;
consequently he holds lucrative office
under the state, and cannot therefore have
{ seat in the general assembly. This
Is humorous logic. Ii makes man
laugh. MIR. Woodward was city attor-
ney OF Carbondale on the day Of election,
and was elected on that day TO seat in
the general assembly. Admitting that the
Office OF city attorney is state Office in
The meaning OF the constitution, what is
to prevent Mr.. Woodward from having a
seat in the general assembly, il at the
time OF taking the seat he is not city at
torney OF Carbondale: The constitution
says that man holding an Office under
the state shall not have seat in the gen
eral assembly. Bat, in fact, 4 city office
is not, in the meaning OF this clause of
the constitution, an Office under the state.
1t would be waste OF time to prove this
proposition. There can be no doubt of
Mr. Woodward eligibility. The Muir
physboro Independent certainly knows
this, and evidently threw out its augges
tion for the purpose OF making people
talk-only that and nothing more.

A SPECIAL dispatch from Columbia, s.
c., to the New York Herald, says that
the election Of Gen. NJ. c. Butler to the
United States senate by the Democratic
house of representatives with twelve
senators, constituting quorum of the
general assembly on joint rule, is re-
gsrded by the lawyers as the valid cleo
ton. Gen. Butler Is native of South
Carolina, and is forty years of age. He
was confederate general and lost leg
in the war. His paternal grandfather
was a general in the revolutionary army,
and his mother was q sister OF Comman-
der Perry. His father was member of
congress, and an uncle, Hon. a. p. But
Ter was United States senator from South
Carolina.

RADICAL hULhDSZING.

When rumor declares that colored
Republican has been abused for voting
the ticket of his party, all the Republic
cans IN the land hold up their hands and
declare that such outrages must be stop
ped-that they are ,dlsgraceiul TO free
country-that every Democrat engaged
in the lawlesS conduct of intimidating
colored Republicans should he Instantly
strung up upon gallows tree. The
tone of the indignant Radicals changes
when the lawlessness of their own parti-
sans is brought TO their attention. When
they are told that colored men. desiring
10 vote the Democratic ticket, are shot
and killed by Republican bulldOzers,
they assume light manner, pooh the
affair, and under their voices
declare that every. negro who
refuses 10 vote the Republican
ticket ought to be bulldoZed. Just now
the evidence being taken by the Louisi-
ana congressional committee shows that
the Democratic colored men of that state
were most shamefully abused by Repub-
lican bulldOzers beaten, stoned,
dubbed, shot, and not few OF them
killed, But what of this? Not Repub-
iican will be shocked by the disclosure
not one OF the leaders. They exist as
partisan by the capital they make out Of
dead negroes. and while they rejoice at
the murder OF Democratic negroes, they
would not, ii they could, have bulldozing
OF Radical negroes discontinued. After
awhile the people will get tired Of the
cry OF Intimidation now raised for par

Ii is the 18th OF December, 1876, or
will be tomorrow, and Christmas has
come again. Time has rolled around
the spring budded, the summer bloomed.
and old winter, not with snow and wind
and hail and rain, but lazily aud with

scene. and Christmas has come again,
And, bless US, az we think

the little ones in their an6cipations OF

whose memories of childhood do not in
cludc the recollection OF happy Christmas
cheers, of candy dogs and gingerbread
horses, of tin horns and drums, of wax
dolls and picture books. These have lost
something out of lite which can only bee
made up to them by their trying to give
TO others what they have missed.
And what pleasant season it is, as we
said before, and how everybody's impulse
j. to be good to everybody else. And it
is this which makes the beauty and holi-
ness Of Christmas. the season Of peace on
earth and good will toward men. The
hard nature softens. the close hand relaxes
its grasp upon the almighty dollar, the
kind heart becomes kinder, and benign

the BULLETIN, toward whom, and all the
void, our heart goes out this morning
with kindly Christmas sentiments. If
We could, tomorrow morning, We would
don the seven league boots of Fortunatus,
and, striding up and down and in and
out, we would make happier the happy,
and rurn distress and misery into joy.
We would place shoes ON the feet Of
every little bare foot in the land, put
food into the mouth of the hungry and
warm the dwelling places of the poor.
As it is, being mortal, we can only wish

people, even in this latter half of the nine

safe TO all our friends and our enemies, a
merry Christmas, and what is betterjstill,
