HarWInton

Notwithstanding the unfavorable weath- CT on election day, we, like Litch6eld, boiled our largest vote. The whole ,num Der of votes cast was 240, of which 153 were for Hayes, and 93 for Tilden. The Republican State ticket received 156 votes and tie Democratic 90. Of the represen- tatives, Gibbs got 175, and Dains 162, while the Democratic candidates, Chat field and Hubbeil, got "A and 76. respec- lively. Julius Oatlin, as Republican Judge of Probate, got 163 votes, and Vail received 62 Democratic votes for the same offcc. ThIs docs uut look as if HarW1i- ton was going Democratic Gin a hurry!" All but twenty-five, mostly republicans, of our registered voters, ,polled their votes. Everybody was on the qui Vive. but every thing was. orderly. Both parties were confident, both as to the result of the state and presidential election. When the news reached us the next day that Tilden was probably elected, the Demo- crats were iubilant, and jokingly asked their Republican friends "how they felt to-day ?" but the next day the Kepubli- cans joked back with interest, and now both parties are confident again. The fl. nal result will probably depend on the pliability or integrity of the electors.

Recognition oe che Press.

Not the least notable feature Of the
St. Louis Convention was the recogni-
ton OF the Third Estate in the selection
of Mr.. Watterson, of the Courier Jour
nal, as the temporary chairman. Classi
cally We hold Homer greater than Achil
les, with all of that warriors wrath
superadded. Newspaper men have made
and unmade more political heroes than
poets ever dreamed of; they are respect
ed, abused and feared they have always
been acknowledged as constituting the
court OF appeals of public opinion, but
they have seldom enjoyed the fruits Of
their labor an l worth by elevation to posi-
ton either conventional or national.
When the St Louis Convention organized
with Mr. Watterson in the chair, it paid a
long-delayed tribute TO a shrine at which
SO many men are deified as Well as sac
riced. ashington Capital.
This is all true. The newspaper men
have generally performed a large part of
the work of canvasses; but have come
in for an insignificant portion of rewards
in the form of honor or emolument. They
are perpetual drudges, laboring gratis
as grinders wheel" What is pastime
with men of other professions, viz; the
heat and excitement and enthusiasm of a
political campaign, when the tidal wave
is rolling beautifully-is a perpetual
labor with the toilers of the press. They
are on duty always. They never take
off their harness but stand guard in the
intervals of battle and keep watch at the
front, while others 60 to sleep to wake in
time to bear off the honors of the victory.
That the press is a power in the land,
there is no doubt; and this power is in
creasing. But it is a wonderfully un-
selfish and self-sccrificing agency. Our
Democratic State Convention, when it
next meets, will do itself injustice in
selecting the State ticket if it does not
recognize the services of the press, whose
members have kept the faith in this long
night of darkness through which we have
passed. There are Cooper, McCardle,

Hon. q. 4. Lamar.

The whole State is proud OF the hon.
ge which is paid to the genius, eIo-
quence and wisdom of our distinguished
Senator When he was sent to Congress
three years ago from the lst District, he
had made a wide reputation as an orator
without peer; but the occasion was
great for the display Of the higher quail
ties Of craftsmanship upon the theatre to
which he had been called The South
had no representative worth the mention
in Congress at that day She was prac-
ticaIly dumb until Lamar spoke for her
He became the central figure of obser-
walton from the North as the representa-
tive Southerner and the hopes of the re-
constructed States centered around him.
To his marvellous wisdom and tact is
due the credit Of presenting their cause
with such efectas to produce the revolu-
ton in the Northern mind which was de-
veloped in the victories of 1874. His
speeches at that time were gold instead
of silver, as his silence has been golden at
the present session when everything de-
pended upon the wise discretion of the
Southern members.
We commenced this article to intro
duce the following resolutions which
were passed complimentary to our Sen
ator by the citizens of Paducah, Ken
lucky:
Resolred, That we have full faith and
confidence in the purity, integrity and abil-
ity of the Hon. l.. Q. {. Lamar, the distin-
guished United States Senator elect of Mis-
sissippi. statesman OF enlarged and COM
prehenSive views. and an orator of impas-
stoned eloquence and force.
ReSolCsd, That in these times of peril to
the Government, and financial distress TO
the people, his matured advice and wise
counsel may greatly lead TO the aineliora-
ton of the condition OF the country, the en-
lightenment of the people, aud to lit the
veil OF gloom and dependency now hang
ing over Us. ard to this end. and with this
view, we suggest that a cordial invitation
be extended TO him to visit US at his earliest
convenience compatible with bis duties as a
National legislator, and address the citi-
zens of Southwestern Kentucky. Tennessee
and Illinois, at Paducah, ky-, at such time
as he NAV select, and shat he viii receive a
warm and hearty welcome, assuring him
that multiplied thousands Will anNiously
await his arrival.

: THE UNION RIGHTS STOP
A IRiabOlicnI Organization.

We have published the report of the
United States Army officer who was sent
to inquire into the causes of the race
trouble at Port Hudson, that it was
caused by the attempted arrest of colored
men for assassinating Cor attempting to
murder) two men Of their race-one for
refusing to join their politieo- military
organization, and the other for informing
upon parties guilty of stealing their
neighbors' property. 1t seems that one
of the doomed victims was badly wound
ed, and the other saved his life by
timely fight.
In another place we have printed full
particulars of the diabolical conspiracy
in which the trouble originated. Ger
tain devilish-mipded negroes, in whose
bosoms still remained the seeds Of hatred
planted by the carpet-bag adventures,
whose business it was to produce discord
between the races, had organized a secret
military band, bound by oaths to perpe-
trate tie RoSt horrible deeds of murder
and cruelty upon tbs whites, sgaring
neither age, condition nor sex. Another
obligation incurred by the conspirators
was to kill colored men who refused to
join their order, or become informers
upon thieves who deprecated on the prop
erty Of the whites. In the hands of its
stupid contriyers. plot Of such wide
reaching mischief would sooner OF later
be found out. 1t is now revealed in all
its hideousness, but not until after it had
furnished occasion for bloody
shrek by the adventures, who think it
a hard case that the Figgieaders should
be arrested by the legal authorities be
fore the political machine known as the
g Union Rights Stop" had been put
fairly tG work.

COIOFeu Voters.

Squire jackson, colored Repub lean
leader of note in Amite county, says,
through the Liberty Herald, that he has
been closely observing the conduct of the
Democrats since they have taken charge
of the government of this State, and
feels perfectly satisfied that they intend
to do what they promised before
the election. He is now determined to
cast in his lot with them, and vote and
act with the Democracy Of this State so
IOnq as he Tires, and we will add, that if he
will live up to this rule when he comes to
die he will be better prepared for it.
Democracy teaches peace and good will,
and the rectitude of thought and act
which are taught in the commandments.
Radicalism teaches the reverse. Squire
Jackson is right The colored voters
have now had ample opportunity to
know that the Democratic party intends
to carry out its pledges of equal rights
to all, and that it does not intend to per-
nit the State to fall again under the
control of ignorance and knavery. The
highest law Of every trHe lover of his
country is to take care that the common
wealth suffers no harm.

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS
He Announces sSi,~-err for ridden

Boston Herald
In a brief interview with the Hon.
Charles Francis Adams at his Quincy
home, Immediately after the reception OF
the news Of Coy. Tidens nomination,
the veteran statesman very frankly gave
his opinion of the nomination.
MIR. Adams expressed his sarprise at
the conventiop'a arriving at 80 speedy a
decision. That Mr. Tildeu had secured
the necessary two-thirds on the second
ballot showed his great strength in his
party.
Mr.. Tilden, said Mr.. Adams, IS a for
mldable candidate. especially on a hard.
money platform. With Mr.. Tiden and
this platform the Democratic party
stands better, morally, before the people.
than does the Republican party. HAYES
Is nothing; respectable, NC doubt, but
without any reGard as II reformer.
+Ilien IS IN himself platform. He
has made his record. OF. the two, said
Mir. Adams, very decidedly, | would in.
finitely prefer to see Mr.. Tildon in the
executive chair. Mr.. Adams further
said that 10 had feared Tilden's enemies
would stab him in the back His foes
were jobbers and corrupt men. He will
have hidden enemies to enco9n.e4 III the
coming campaign. The traditionqry dis.
rlptlGc ar the democratic party, thu party
pride and inclination, will cause ali
Democrats to fall into line for Mr.. Til
den
Mr.. Adams also said he Thought Mr..
Iilden would carry bis own State. The
independent vote will probably divide.
those voters with Republican predictions
gong Tor Hayes. However, Gov. Tildea
will secure the support OF the opponents
at corruption who desire to see real work
accomplished. The Republican platform
IS weak, especially in its financial plank.
This was an endeavor to catch both the
soft" and 'hard" money men.
to tao other candidates before the
St. Louis Convention, Mr.. Adams
thought them all weak. Hancock would
have been beaten on account, partly. Of
his being military man. There IS a re-
action, perhaps temporary, against mill
tary meh, owing to the dissatisfaction with
Zen. Grant. Thurman would have been
a fair candidate, but not strong. Hen.
bricks had no national record Of impogt,

1iIden's war record is a good one. He

\ DEMOCRATIC newspaper, installing
the name of Hayes, scalawag of Ala
bama, for that of Hayes, of Ohio, stated
that the latter voted for the back salary
steal. Now, another journal makes the
following statement, which We have not
seen denied:
''Hayes was a member of Congress in
1866, when the salary of members was
raised from $4,000 to $4,000, by being
meanly tackled upon the soldiers bounty
bill. Hayes drew his back pay, and no
doubt thought he had a right to it. But
his constituents did not agree with him.
When he came before them for re
election, he was beaten b. Gen. Banning
by about 1000 majority in a district
which had been largely Republican"
