n NEW WAY TO FURNISH HOUSES
The fact is that the South Carolina halls
of legislation are without furniture. The
late Legislature passed an appropriation
to refurnish the halls and committee
rooms, and before this learned body ad-
journed-nearly all negroes, with three
fourths unable TO read or write-a colored
Solon rose to his feet and said "Mistah
Speekah, moves, sab, dat de honorable
membahs of dis Legislatah lhab de privil-
ege OBJ takin' to dar own homes all de ole
furniture, sah." This sensible PROPOSE
ton, in the confusion of the last hours
failed of passage in both branches but
1t was enforced all the same, and all the
old carpets, desks, chairs, tables, patter.
busters, spittoons and clocks-in a word
every article that could be gathered up
and caIted away disappearing. The att

Mr.. William L. Chandler telegraphs
nearly a column to the Tribune. and
Messrs. Barlow, Noyes and others tele-
graph half as much to Secretary Chandler
from Florida, explaining why the Repub-
licans have withheld their returns from
the public. They unite in justifyine
their concealment that the Democrats
could and would increase their majorities
in remote counties to overwhelm the Re-
publican maiorities if they knew Just
what they had to overcome. This is the
shallowest possible pretext, and is un-
worthy of such man as Governor Moves.
The Tilden men in Florida have exhaust
ed themselves to ascertain and declare
the return OF every county, and thus chal-
lenge the criticism of the public and the
scrutiny of the revisory authority, all of
which is Republican; and for the HAYES
men to conceal their returns, or to affect
ignorance OF them, can admit of but one
construction-a purpose to manufacture
returns to order. As the returns from
every county had to come to the Demo-
Gratis from Republican election boards in
every district, and from Republican re-
turn boards in every county, how could
WINS SA1AS ~ uhy oht ny bl.t
and manly avowal of the vote everywhere
Considering that the Tilden men have la
bored tirelessly TO obtain the original Re-
publican count in every county and pub
licly announce and record it, and that
the Hayes leaders have studiously con-
cealed the returns and uniformly telegraph
ed only general results without giving
the vote OF any nf the counties, candid
men of all parties will be slow to credit
the elaborate explanations just telegraph
ed North. As the Republicans have al
the county return boards, and any change
in returns must be made by their friends
how can Chandler, Noyes d Co., hope to
be believed when they say that they fear
false Tilden returns? They are great
way off down there, but intelligence and
truth have unbroken dwelling places from
the st. Johns to the centre and circumter-
ence Of the continent, and that is what
Chandler and Noyes seem to have forgot
| ten.-Phiid. Times.
The daily gazette., 1876-11-22

one OF the worst phases of our present
nanonal complications is the persistent
manner IN which the radicals talk about
a fair count of the electoral votes giving
the election to Hayes. They no doubt
intend to cheat the people out of their
cnoice for President, but it is impossible
ior them to cover up the fraud by mis-.
statements and gross prevarications. The
!atter, however, is only one of the neces.
sary steps in the game of bounce thew
IRE now playing. "What a pityit is d
SIN 70 me- said an old Quaker lady to a
Votnole clerk who was drawing n Iona
DOW over his wares; sit seems so neces,
sary to thy business"

The decision of the Supreme Court of
south Carolina settles the question of the
next Governor of that State, and the
Legislature as well. The return board il
instructed by the court to compute and
rertfy the vote as it has been returned To
'hem, and that elects Hampton by some
'weive hundred majority and gives the
Democrats the Legislature and a United
states Senator. The country will no,
doubt the honesty of Hampton's elec tior
Chamberlain, like Kellogg and Packard,
Of Louisiana, and Stearns and Martin. of
Florida, telegraphed North for ten davs
after the election proclaiming himself
md the whole ticket successful bv from
zen TO fifteen thousand and now in obedi.
nee to the decision of solid republican
teturn board, he is returned defeated
Hayes barely gets the electoral vote bv n
ieturn that would not bear a SEARCHING

ana both foot up like South Carolina

thought not to be forgotten that tho
eiccnon machinery of the states Of South
carolina, Louisiana and Florida are co,n.
Pieteiy in the hands of ofRepublicans. and
nence charges of tampering with the rc.
'urns made by the Republicans agains,
democrats are simply absurd while there
: no room for doubt that the election re.

What a terrible example is set to the
youth of the country by its Chief Magis-
trate and his Cabinet, and the General
and Lieutenant Gsneral,a uniting in an
effort to lie and cheat at politics. Has
the Republican Party mo more great men?
No men who admire republican institu-
tions and hold them TO be paramount to
political triumph? Alas, it seems not.

WE HAVE NO GREAT SOLDIERS Now

WE HAVE NO GREAT SOLDIERS Now
No, we have no great soldiers now
The Generals are the merest pupits-they
fly about at the suggestion of Grant like
so many men worked by the showman's s
wires. There was time when Lieut..
General of the Army of the United
states had opinions Of his own, and did
not fear to express them. But that was
when Cabinet officers were tolerant and
afraid to express their thoughts. The
imbeciles who now follow the dictates
of the schemers, Grant, Zack Chandler,
Don Cameron, are mere tools to do any
work they are bid, without regard to
whether the credit of the country is in
jured or not. All they care for is to get
heir enormous pay, and live sumptuously
off the people who are taxed for their
sustainance. Hence we find Mr.. Grant
indulging his childish whims, in secretly
ordering troops from point to point as
though he thought the sworn Representa-
tives of forty millions of people feared
the presence of his army. Let him dare
-ouse the anger Of this people to resist
ance and he and his small army would
.!windle into the scorn and contempt of
the people.
The General and Lieut.. General ofthc
United States ought to know that they
IRE the servants Of the people, and in
time Of peace are not to be made the
tools of scheming partizans to defeat the
will of tie majority.
But the secret of this subserviencv is
the fact that these Generals are op-
posed to Reform and Retrenchment.
They faar that the will of the people will
reach their salaries as twell as those of
others, and hence they are the willing
Instruments of the man who is scheminp
plans to assist the Radical party to count
IN President who belongs to their mil
ta'y order against the will of the people.
The daily gazette., 1876-11-22

The Democratic House of Representa-.
ives can never be forced in to ayiolation
ot their solemn oaths to maintain. dc.
'end and protect the constitution. by
-acaoning the outrageous work of the
returning Boards of Louisiana, Florida
md South Carolina. This cannot he
done. The President of the United
States must be legally elected by a ma
ionty of the votes cast for the electors o,
he elected bv the House of Representa-
nves. 1t is folly to suppose a man lille
sally elected can sign any act of Con
-ress that will be binding.
The daily gazette., 1876-11-22

Does the Republic belong to Grant and
his Military associates The people may
defy them. Let them not dare to attempt
to interfere with Congress to prevent re-
form and the reduction of taxation.
The daily gazette., 1876-11-22

The feeblest and meanest quibble ofah
comes up from the Republicans of Con-
hectcut, who seem determined to give
SHINE consequence to substantial leoa,
disabilities of electors, by disputing the
eligibility of Governor Ingersoll, because
he at one time or another was a United
states Commissioner, and may not have
resigned'
The daily gazette., 1876-11-22

The Radical politicians will not let the
people govern themselves. Whenever
our country comes to point where the
passions Of men are tried, they want to
resort to force and the bullet instead of
the ballot. They are the men who are
unfit for self-government.
The daily gazette., 1876-11-22

A specimen Of Radical folly is now
seen in the Philadelphia papers exclaim-
ing against tax that they say amounts
to'confiscation," while they advocate the
blocking up of the most elegant street of
their city with mass of useless marble
involving millions of expenditures.
The daily gazette., 1876-11-22

The prospects for the Inauguration of
Samuel J. Tilden grows brighter just as
the light of facts reveals the truth of the
honest votes Of the returns. 1t seems
now that it is impossible to count him

petlcoat, with rcd and white calico
border; cherry.colored stays. trimmed
with blue and silver; red and dove
coIored gown lowered with large trees ;
yellow satinapron, elaborately trimmed
a muslin head dress with lace raflles; a
black silk scarf and a spotted silk hood.
Such was the costume worn by a lady
III l105.' Further on we read of ladies'
head dresses costing from one to two hun,
dred dollars a great deal has been said
about tue extravaganza of women of the
present day; but the modern belle would
stand aghast should she be askel to pay
two hundred dollars for bonnet: and
it is doubtful whether the expensive head
gear referred to was any more becoming
to the wcarer than the jaunty and stylish
hats Worn now by the girl Of the period

The Will of One of the Ader-
sonVille Prisoners.

An old. torn will, on one sheet of large
cid fashioned latter paper was received in
the Surrogate's Office, in New York City,
One entire corner is gone, aud the sheet is
broken at every crease, and mended by
paper pasted on to unite the several parts
the edges are ragged like those of an old
book. Wafer, wax and pieces of postage
stamp remain here and there, where the
worn document has been mended and
mended again. The Ink is soaked aud
spread, and two large white spots marked
where the writing was nearly effaced by
water This paper is relic Of the war
and has survived prisons and transfers BY
difficult journeys in the pocket of a SOL
der; and after eleven years, makes q
sister toe heir of a dying captive, back
pay.
Peter Toner dictated his will in Ander.
Sonville prison. He died a few DAYS af.
terward. on the evening of Sunday, May
10, 1864, of dropsical starvation. Three
wan soldiers signed their names as wit.
nesses. One, Jeremiah O'Mahoney, who
wrote the will, was evidently a man of
some education. The other two witnesses
were John Burke, and Farigal Galluher
John Burke, who was kindly mentioned
in the will, did net live to inherit the
item mentioned as his due, but made his
will also, ana died on July &c, about two
months after Peter. Fargal Gallaher,
the third witness, signed his X AID be
died month before Burke-all of star.
yatiOD.
Michael Doughsrty, who offered the
will 'or probate, now Of Bristol, Bucks
county, Pa, brought it away and it came
near being destroyed as he crossed the
Jackson River. Mississippi, with five
hundred other men, in water up to their
waists, on the way to Vicksbarg for ex-
change, in April. 1865. They all were
Pennsylvania volunteers. Another old
comrade and fellOw-prisoner was found on
Staten Island, Walter Weeb, who having
been sworn as witness, testified to the
eenuneness of the signatures Of the de
ceased men.
