this report of Hayes makingian alliance with
the southern rebels cannot be so, no, no, it
cannot be so. It Is a trick of the rebels 10
get Hayes in their power for the purpose Of
destroying this government, and f Mr.
HAYES showed any disposition to lean that
way. he was in favor Of Grant holding forcl-
BE possession of the White House. The
whole issue of the campaign was to overawe
and overrate the south, and the Potomac
would be chOSed with dead bodies before
rebel-forgiven President should occupy the
Presidential chair | found a large number
Of Republicans who look with fear and dis
favor on any compromise or any favor to the
south. In this city the daily reports from
the congressional committee from New Or
leans is having good effect indeed. Repub-
licans begin to think that there Is two sides
10 the question in Louisiana, but stick to 1t
that Hayes has got the electoral vote, and
thHse IS no going behind it, wrong tho 1t
NAV be. It is the Lalc and must be Obeyed Let
CONGRESS do lrhdt Il Bsdy and prore eUer so
much fraud, the vote Of Louisiana will be
counted for Hayes. Very many business men
of both parties have much confidence IN the
plan of the two committees, one OF the house
and one Of the senate, to agree on some
method of counting the vote. 1t Is sincerely

FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Seats that are Taken >

EDITORS APPEAL-I am glad to see some
one is protesting against the fraudulent way
in which the sale of reserved seats is carried
on. This unfair business has continued for a
long time, and it Is time it is being stopped
1t is done thus: All the seats, except reIy
feic in the outskirts, are marked taken, re-
gardless of the truth. Then the people are
made to pay extra or forced to go up into the
gallery. This is very annoying, especially at
the matinees, when the ladies are compelled
to 90 into the gallery. | have seen as many
as thirty seats in the parquette marked
d" taken " remain unoccupied through
out the whole performance. We, the
ladies who wish to take our families, go
with the expectation of paying only fifty
cents each; and if we are to be charged
seventy-ive cents, 1t is better to let us know
it beforehand. Fifty cents is the regularly
advertised price of admission, but when we
get there we are charged seventy-fve cents.
This way of stating one price and charging
another is very annoying, and if it continues
much longer the people who easily see through
the trick will stay at home Then the mana
gers will see what it is to deceive the people
from whom they get all their patronage
The present state of affairs has deferred me
from attending many times, and | do not
doubt kept many others away also.

The Savannah Ne,cS is evidently not
friendly to Ben Hill. 1t says of him that he
must lead, and 1.-The great trouble is that
those who attempt to follow Mr.. Hill can
never be sure, certainly not too sure, into
which political camp he viii lead them. He
has a chronic affection for new departures, ;
and although always Hill man, he is ever in
advance of the period, and his craftsmanship
is away beyond the comprehension of his
compatriots. He is brilliant, but his bril-
liancy is like the deceptive and unstable light
Of the igHus .fatttus that lures to leave. He
was right too admonish his new admires not
to go too fast nor be too sure The Democ-
racy of Georgia need no such warning" Bad
FOR Hill, this-and he a candidate for the
United States senate.

A MEETING of the leading Democrats,
from various parts of Minnesota, held at st.
Paul yesterday, adopted a resolution declar-
ing it as the firm conviction of the Demo-
Gratis Of Minnesota that Tilden and Hen
dricks were fairly elected; that we behold
with regret what appears to be a conspiracy
on the part of the administration and corrupt
politicians TO count in Hayes and Wheeler in
disregard Of all law; repudiating the assump-
ton that the president of the senate has the
determination of all questions of dispute with
regard to the electoral vote, and declaring
that the house of representatives has an equal
hight with the senate in such settlement, we
propose, in common with all patriotic cit-
zens, to support it in the exercise Of its con-
stitutional rights"

of the United States, and 10 the cOBihidHd Of
both houses Of congress" In 1917 and lS2l,
objections were raised to the counting Of GER
tain electoral votes, and in declaring the re-
suit the president acted under the direction
of the two houses, there being then no
twenty second Joint rule IN existence, as that
rule was not adopted until 1860, which
simply regulated the mode Of exercising the
jurisdiction already, and possessed, and pre-
viously exercised and that was the idea un-
der wlFAh it was framed, as may be seen by
refereneEto the Congressional Globe OF Feb
ruary 6, 1865. That rule provided that when
objection was made to an electoral vote, the
two houses should retire to their respective
chambers, and should vote upon the question
without debate; and that unless both houses
should agree upon the counting Cf the dis
puted vote, it should not be counted. The
object of the rule was to cut OFF useless de
bate and prevent filibustering, and was used
for the latter purpose in 1873, when General
Butler made fight against counting the vote
of Georgia. IF the senate does not choose to
keep its agreement TO observe the rule, or
agree upon a new one, the house can, acting
for itself, fix its own mode of procedure, and
we doubt not that the objections which may
be raised Will be acted upon with as great de-
liberation snd fairness as if the twenty-second
JOINT rule had remained IN force. For these
reasons we think the Democratic leaders of
the house attach too much Importance to the
perverse partisanship of the senate. The
period has now arrived when the press of the
country must cry halt to selfish partisans.
In this sharp extremity the conservative
masses must also speak out boldly and fear
lessly tor right and Justice, that the liberties
of the republic MAY he preserved.

Colorado occupies an anomalous position In
the house. The delegate (Mr Patterson is

FIRE AT WATER VALLEY.
A Block Of Buildings with Their Con-
tents Destr0yed-NarrOw Escape
of the Entire Business Part
OF the Town.
From an Occasional Correspondent


WATER VALLEY, December21 Last night
at twelve o'clock the alarm of fire was sounded
by the watchman at the depot. The fire
caught in the second story of Azlin's furni-
ture store, corner Woods and Main streets,
and in forty minutes the block was in smoul-
dering ruins, as follows: Goodwin's market
house, Azlin's furniture store, Askew & Hill
um's drug store, the Rogers & Collums double
building, and Longs carpenter shop, with
Booker's gunsmith shop. There is little, if
any, insurance. The frame houses just west
were scorched fearfully, and were only saved
because there was no wind blowing; even
then it took hard work and much water to
save them, The whole of Main street was in
the greatest danger, so much so that many
firms were moving their goods to the rear.
The colored men worked well. We learn
that w. J. Ain has five thousand dollars in
surance on building and stock, which we
think will cover his entire loss. The policy
was taken out in October.

A PREVAILING impression in this city, says
the Washington correspondent of the Cincin-
matt Enquirer, is that both houses will decide
that each has the power vested in it to 90
behind the Easo Of the returns. If such a
construction is agreed upon the election will
be thrown into the house, and the result will
be that Tilden will be elected President by
that body, and that Wheeler will be elected
Vice-President by the se41afs. This would,
of course, he r5hbing Hendricks of his legal
rights, but it would be an outcome calculated
to bring peace and harmony out of what
threatens to be chaos and disorder. If such
is to be the result, it is predicted that Hem
dricks VIII be member Of ire Iezt cabinet.

CHICAGO, December 19.-I have just re-
turned from Milwaukee and Madison, the
capital of Wisconsin. Have met with and
talked to many Democrats and Republicans,
and heard many of them talk on the trains
and in the hotels on the Presidential ques-
ton, and the result of my observations Is that
the Republicans have private secret military
organizations In this State and Wisconsin,
and throughout the west and south, COM
posed In part Of members Of the Grand Army
of the Republic, who are avowed Repubh-
cans, and of the American alliance society,
embracing the very worst fanatiCal element IN
the cities and villages; and, as ! am told, the
Irish Orangemen and the Scotch CalvinIst find
very inviting home in the lodges Of the Al
lance and that in the lodges IN this city
these foreign patriots are found inabUndance.
Indeed, they are known as the very bulldozers
of the Republicans in the cities. Why this
class are so intensely anti-DemOcratc, and
such Jealous Hayes wOrshippers, seems to be
more than their hatred of Catholicism, than
their love of good government. They think
they have a mission to perform, and to full
fill that mission 1t Is their bOunden duty
to oppose everything and anything and
everybody and anybody who are IN
any way friendly with or to the Catholics;
if the words and actions of these good citi-
zeHs are any indication Of what they would
do. | believe they would assist to inaugurate
HAYES and hold him III power by military force.
Many Democrats | met with viii yield rather

to the south, further than this. they had no
interest in the election, Republican was as
good to them as Democrat. Evidently they
want somebody to fight. but their actions
don't show much desire to do any
Of it themselves. One of the
funny and cOmcal parts Of my
experience with the Wolverine politician was

The three recent and almost successful at

warn the people and authorities of Memphis
to be on their guard, to be especially watch
full and vigilsnt, T4-efe6af be no doubt that
these fires, as well as that.which came near
to destroying Bolivar few days ago, are the
work ofincendiaries, who hoped to praft by
the confusion occasioned by them TO rob and

missioners should see that ell the cisterns are
flled, that the engines and apparatus are in
good condition, and, if necessary, the police

taken to prevent incendiaries playing any
