to seek political power - means Of
maintaining station and incidentally of
living on the money Of others. we
need offer no speculations; but Mr..
Hill does not seem to perceive,
nor do many Of those Southern states
men to whom he refers, that ''the
great passion for political power" can not
be gratifed under a republican govern
ment, except by the very agencies which
the ''great passion for money" has created.
Thus Political power is as population.
Population is directed to one country, or
diverted from another, by inducement
and facilities. The money loving section,
then, in its schools, churches, gift lands,
manufactures and favors; in its protec-
ton of tree opinion and offer of varied
industry, with the railroads, canals and
other facilities, has gained, not merely
the sordid object SO contemptuously at
tributed to it, but has satisfied ''the
great passion for political power" The
doctrine of industry and economy has
spread over the whole West, and is the
dominant sentiment of the nation. It is
represented and enjoined by the great
West, and all political theories which
disregard this only republican element of
political power, must consent to accept
such recognition as the population and
wealth Of the republic may accord them.

brave and able is, we repeat, source of
American pride. But as there were
"brave men, before Agamemnon, SO
there have been brave men since.
1t is, however, the new element Of
power which has sprung into existence
since the period to which Mr.. Hill and
DR.. Chalmers refer, which governs and
will govern the Union. 1t is an amalgam
of many races aud Of all opinions. It
neither knows North nor South, and OF
their effete and extinct quarrels, for o
power which neither can ever regain, and
with sincere respect for both sections, it
pronounces an emphatic and decisive
plague on both your old houses.
Mr.. Hill and DR.. Chalmers explain
very clearly why such has been the result.
The English immigrants, occupying .
sterile country, have been obliged to betake
themselves to work to gain ''money,"
the only honest means that we know Of
to obtain the comfort or competence Of
life.
The English immigrants who settled
in a section in which money might be
made with the incidental aid of SOIL
climate and purchased labor, directed
themselves to the acquisition Of political
power.
Whether it be more sordid to labor for
the acquisition Of money, as the only
respectable means of social prosperity, or

Louisiana.

The world never before produced such q
set OF vulgar blackguards and ignorant
knayes as the supervisors and Returning
Boards of the southern States under carpet
bag and negro rule. The circumstances
that put them into position are unprece-
denied in history, as are the wretches that
were produced by them.
The nation has been amazed and indig-
nant at the developments with regard to
them until the national Indignation, like
that of the South long ago, is about en-
hausted; and yet the denominations of
wretched supervisors and boards are not all
known by great deal.
The New Orleans Democrat brings to no
,tice the fact that the Returning Board Of
Louisiana, having summed up the vote OF the
State and thrown out all polls that were OBJ
iected to-siXty-nine-found that three TIL
hitch which was not, as people might sup
pose, easily gotten out OF. The official re-
turns had not come in, and the adrot Re-
turning Board Immediately directed the SUI
pervisors OF registration in the counties to
throw out as many polls as possible from
their report on any pretence they chose.
The thing was done, and when the official
returns were received 1900 Democratic
votes were excluded by excluding thirteen
polls, and this fixed the matter by electing
all the HAYES electors.
The Democrat says that only seven super
yisors were found so unprincipled as to
comply with the instructions Of the Return
ing Board; but they were enough. Almost
every one OF these seven was under in
dictment for some offence. "Here," says
the Democrat, care lot Of disreputable

ex-policeman, ETC., illegally changing the

SENATOR BAYARD's FIEws.-The broad
ground taken by Senator Bayard in regard
to the counting of the electoral vote seems
to strike many Of the Democrats favorably.
He holds that if Congress refuses to go
behind the seal OF State the Oregon vote
must be counted as sent in by Governor
Grover. Should Congress go behind if,
then the Tilden vote, as sent in from Florid@,
with the certificate Of Attorney General
Cooke attached, must be counted. In addi-
ton, the Florida certificate will be rein
forced by the action of the Supreme Court,
as quo acayTanto will in few days be
issued compelling the other State authorities
to verify the action of the Attorney-Gen-
eral. Moreover, Governor Drew, who
comes in under the new count on the LIST Of
January, will materially aid the strengthen
ing OF affairs in Florida. In abiding to
the proposed meeting of the joint COM
mittce appointed by the Senate and House
to agree upon means for the counting of
the vote, the same gentleman said that the
Democratic leaders had little faith that the
committee would agree upon satisfactory
plan Of action, and it was generally thought
that Senator Morton would prove to be the
obstructive clement of that committee. -

have returned from New York, where they

Gordon says he did not go New York on

from his visit much encouraged. 1t would
be an old story to say that Governor Tilden
is very confident; and, indeed, he could
not well be otherwise; but neither Senator

The Organs Account.
from the WASHINGTON Republican 27th.J

II.
NEW YORK, December 6.-Meeting ana
conferences between prominent DemocIatic
senator's and representatives have been held
daily at the residence OF Governor Tilden,
on (irammercv square, and also at the house
~ Mr.. August Belmont, on Fifth avenue.
From one OF the gentlemen who has attend
ed these conclaves / have ascertained that
the discussions have been confined to the
course OF action to be pursued by the Dem
ocratic congressman during the crisis that
il expected to occur ut the counting OF the
presidential vote in February next; that
Mr.. Tilden had offered some suggestions,
and had stated that he believed himself
fairly elected, and will make every effort to
be inaueuratcd; that the recent address OF
Mr.. Hewitt, as chairman OF the Dem ocratlc
National Committee, announcing the cleo
ton OF Tllden and Hendricks, was issued
by Mr.. Tidcn's orders, and that the Dem
ocracy OF the country are pledged to sus-
tain it.
NV informant was quite communicative
on the subject of the Democratic meetings
to be held all over the country on the 9Th OF
January. He said that all the prelimlnarles
had been arranged, and Mr.. Tilden had re-
ceived the most flattering assurances that
these gatherings would be numerously at
tended. Mr.. Tilden did not disguise the
fact that he expected great things from these
meetings. He was confident Of their pro-
ducing such effect upon the public mind
that when the breach occurred between the
Senate and the House, the sentiment OF
the people would predominant on the side
OF the Democracy. Mr.. Tilden also fayored
continuation OF these popular meet
inss throughout the interval before the
meeting OF both houses Of Congress in joint
convention. He furthermore urged fro-
uuent assemblagcs of merchants and bust
ness-men generally all over the country.
Mr.. Tilden impressed very emphatically
upon the minds of political friends that 1t
was absolutely indispensable that the favor
able sentiment Of the public should be Sc
cured for the Democracy; otherwise it
would be useless to attempt anything. He
counselled the greatest moderation and
prudence in Congress. He especially re-
quested the southern members to keep very
shady, and not show their teeth oftcner than
necessary. In one word, MIR. Tilden ex-
pressed it as his opinion that the political
campaign would not be over until the 4th
of next March, and possibly not then.
Other conferences between Mr.. Tllden
and leading Democrats will be held from
time to time, but it has been decided to de-
fer arriving at q definite determination
until the Democratic doctors have further
examined the popular pulse and noted its
condition. -...-.
