True Prophecy.

The Courier Journals special cor
respondent at Washington d. c., tel
egraphed to that paper on the Both, Of
December, 1874, the following:
WAsHNGToN, D. c., Dec. 3d.
The Republicans have been looking
forward to carry the next Presden-
tial election by setting aside the votes
of Southern Democratic States, in case
of close election; but their game is
spoiled by the fact that the next House
of Representatives, which is so largely
Democratic that Clerk Mcpherson can
not manipulate it otherwise, will form
an efectual check upon the Senate in
the joint session provided for counting
the electoral votes. 1t is the general
belief of Democratic polititions here
that the next Presidential election will
be so Overwhelmingly Democratic as
to preclude contest.
That prophesy has proven to be true
as Holy Writ.

ceased. Mr.. RANDALL, ON taking
the chair, delivered q short address in

condemnation.
Mr.. RANDALL and Hon. S. S. Cox

DALI received majority of ten.
In the final election, Mr.. RANDALL

GARFIELD of Ohio, Republican candi-
date, received 80 votes.
One congressman from South Caro-
lima and the one from Colorado were

report in regard to the recent election
in those states.

such measures, and it becomes every
member of it who desires its predomi-
nance and its usefulness to disclaim all
part in such proceedings.
But it is said that no violence has
been done. sWhO, then, has the mer>
it of avoiding violence? 1t is not due
to the Mr.. Dennis, not to Governor
Chamberlain, nor to the Administra-
ton at Washington. 1t is the merit
of the people of South Carolina. They
have seen one of their dearest rights
wrested from them, that of the peace
adle assemblage of those whom they
have elected as their Legislators, and
the organization of their Legislature
according to the lawful and receiving
usages, and have endured this outrage
without resistance, If they had per-
sisted in seeking an entrance into their
State-house, there would have been
violence. If the rejected representa-
tives had attempted to pass the senti-
mel at the door, they would have been
thrust back By the bayonet. If the
crowd about the building had shouted
Break open the door," and rushed
forward, they would have been fired
into. They took the wiser course.
They preferred to leave the response
bility of reSorting to the bayonet up
on those who used it to decide a politi-
cal question. They preferred an APP
peal to the good sense and just inten-
tions of the people of the United States
and in this the people will sustain
them, we mean the people of all par
ties, for the Republicans, if they are
wise, will make haste TO disclaim all
connivance with an act, which if not
condemned by the general voice of
their party will be quoted against
them as long as that party shall have
an existence.

The Actual Results In Louisiana.

We do not ask our readers to take
our word or the word of any Demo-
crat, as to the real vote in Louisiana,
We will give them Republican proof
of the fact The Cincinnati CONNER
cial is a firm, substantial Republican
sheet, and its correspondent, DIR. Red
field, an undoubted is an undoubted
Republican. On the 30th of NOvem-
Der, DIR. Redfeld telegraphed from
New Orleans to the Commercial as
follows:
"In twenty uncontested parishes The
votes stand, Tilden 1881, Hayes d.
COS. In the contested parishes the
vote stands, Tilden 80, Hayes2S,-
SIG; Orleans, Tilden 23,S3S, Hayes
1881. Total, Tilden SO, $50, Hayes
1887. Seven parishes not yet made
public will not materially change the
figures; FIVE Of them are Democratic
and two Republican. Tilden is at
least 1O, 900 ahead ON the face of the
returns. Everything included, he is
not far from $4,000 ahead, as the
Democrats figure it tonight. If the
board gives the State to Hayes, as they
likely will, they have to throw out
literally in all the contested parishes. d"
Yet the carpet-bag monstrosity of
Louisiana, backed by Grant and his
bayonets and acting under orders from
old ZACH CHANDLER, have hro,rn out
literally enough to claim the State for
Hayes by 600 votes and over and the
Returning Board have given the certif.
Gates to the Hayes Electors and the
Republican State candidates.

had the following to say on the South
Carolina outrage in its issue of Doth of
November:
MILITARY INTERFERENCE IN POLITICAL
QUESTIONS.
We cannot let the armed occupation
of the South Carolina State-house and
the act of the Federal troops taking
upon themselves to determine who
shall constitute the Legislature of that
State pass without a protest of the ut
most possible solemnity and energy.
According to all accounts from that
quarter, the Federal troops were yes
terday in possession of the building, a
military garrison with its sentinels
posted at the doors, and no member
of the Legislature was admitted ex-
cept those who brought pass from
one of the partisan of the present
governor. Members who brought the
certificate of their election from the
clerk of the Supreme Court, under
the broad seal of the court, were re-
fused admittance by armed men. The
person named Dennis, who gave the
written orders without which no per-
son was allowed to enter, claimed
that he was acting nnder the direction
of superior, whose name he declined
to give. OF course that superior is
Gov. Chamberlain, under whose Or
ders the Federal appear to have been
put by President Grant, and who has
taken this method of deciding what
persons are members of the South Car
Olima Legislature.
We protest against this psoceeding,
not only in the name of liberty and
justice, but in behalf of the Republi-
can party, whose good name and wor-
thy record are brought in question by
this resort to military force, in a ques-
ton purely political. Here is already
incorporated into the history Of our
republic precedent of as arbitrary a
nature as the act of Cromwell, when
he turned the British Parliament out
of doors. The rule of representative
bodies, that they are judges of the
election and qualification of their
members, is summarily set aside; and
Mr.. Dennis, the furniture dealer, with
the Federal troops at his back, usurps
that Office. Even the excuse that
disturbance and blood shed were dread
ed, and an instruction so formidable
that Gov. Chamberlain would lack the
means to quell it, does not appear to
have been made. The usnrpation is
not masked with any plausible pretext.
1t sweeps away every restraint of
usage and precedent and law. and sub
stitutes simple force for the quiet for
malities of ordinary legislation. The
Republican party is not powerful
enough, in comparison with the oppo-
sitiOn, to sustain the responsibility of
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1876-12-06
THE SITUATION.
South CAROLINA.

The situation is this: The Repub-
lican Legislature and Senate have de-
clared CHAMBERLAIN Governor, by a
majority of 5000. The Democratic
House is in session in Carolina Hall
and have been joined by enough Re
publicans TO only like one of ma
iority of the whole legislature.
Gov. CHAMBERLAIN will be inaugu-
rated to-day by the Republican side.
Gen. HAMPTON says that he intends
TO be the Governor, having been duly
elected and is still at work in the
Courts to secure that end.
The L. S. troops are being removed
and Chamberlain's State Constables
are taking their place.
LOUISIANA.
The Returning Board consummated
its villainous purpose on Tuesday last
by declaring the election of all the
Hayes electors, Packard for Governor,
Antonio for Lieutenant Governor and
a majority of "a on joint ballot in the
Legislature.
Two of the Democratic Congressman
elect, Mr.. Elam who had 600 majority
have been counted out b. this All
Powerful Board and their opponents
counted in. They have certified the
election of four Republicans and two
Democratic congressman, when the
reverse is exactly the result of the
vote of the people.
OREGON.
Two Republican Electors are said
to be ineligible and the matter is be-
fore the Courts and the very latest dis
patch says that the Governor will not
give them certificates of election.
If this is SO it will defeat any cleo
ton by the people and if he gives
to the two highest on the other side, it
elects TILDEN.
FLORIDA.
The Canvass of the vote is progress
ing and the latest dispatch is that the
Board of Canvassers are about to give
the Certificates of the election to the
Tilden Electors, if they should this will
drobably be an end to the trouble.
