the day. Mr.. McCabe received the
constant and sympathetic assistance
of the Centennial authorities, and on

A prominent government official in

to be inauguratcd on the 4th of March,
Conservative.
Quite a number of prominent Dem
ocrats declare that Tilden must be
inaugurated, by force if necessary,
and to provide for the "power" to do
1t, are organizing semi-military asso-
Citations, composed of soldiers who
will abet their revolutionary designs,
and others, under the name of Nete-
ran Clubs. Among the prominent
Democrats who are said to be secret
ly instigating schemes against the
public peace, i, Thomas \. IIend-
riclls, the Democratic candidate for
the Wee Presidency. His connec
ton with the reasonable Knights OF
the Golden Circle, during the war,
makes the present charge not inn
probable.

positively asserted, that that in
human and atrocious affair was plan

The Register is not candid. 1t
knew how not to accept kasson as a
leader when it denounced him as a
corrupt man and a demagogue, and
in our opinion, if the Republicans i'll
Congress need any instruction how
to cvadc the leadership of the Massa-
chusetts demagogue, the Register Is
amply competent to impart it. The
task need not be difficult. 1t is sim
ply to refrain from homage to rcck-
less audacity and brutal wit allied to
questionable methods, even though
employed in the service of the party,
and to give countenance and support
to the counscls and suggestions of
Republican leaders of approved WIS
dom and statesmanlike ability only.

When the facts as to suit q Hen
~ ii. Body against Samuel }. Til
den, to recover s34,G73,sO grabbed
in Northwestern Railroad stock,job
were made public, it was promptly
denied as campaign lie, and the
public was assured that at the proper
time Mr.. Tildcn would fully explain
the matter, completely indicating
hinself The facts charged, it will
be remembered, were that Tilden,
who was a director ip the Northwest
crn Company, entered into pooling
arrangement with Body and others
whereby the stock OF the GaIena
Union Railroad Company was to be
bought up and un.oaded to the
Northwestern at a handsome profit,
which Mr.. Tildcn was to share.
That is, as Director and Trustee for
for the stockholders of his Company,
Mr.. Tilden proposed to prostitute his
position to skin his stockholders in
the transaction for his own profit.
In the suit, Body further alleges
that when tho transaction was COM
ple,e Tilden proceeded to skin his as
sociates of the pool out of $4,000 of
the profits. Now, the proper time
for Mr.. Tiideu to st up his answer
seems to have come, FOR he has filed
it. And that answer, which was to
be his full vindication SO long prom
iscd, is that the shia against him is
barred Ivy the statute of limitGtjons,
hot thai the facts alleged in Boo
dy's bill are not true. but that Boo
dy's claim is so old 1t can't be sped
on. The plea is, in short, precisely

A Speech by the President Elect.

Gov. Hayes has won the admira-
ton and respect Of all parties by the
diGnified and manly course he has
maintained throughout the canvass,
and the thorough appreciation of the
proprieties of the situation shown in
all his public uttcranccs. Last week
while on an official visit to Dayton,
Ohio, he was serenaded and respond
ed i'll brief speech, which we give
below. 1t contains the only allusion
yet made i'll public by Gov. Hayes
with regard to the political situation,
and is marked by wisdom, patriotism
and discretion. Governor Hayes
said:
My friends, I will not dctain YOU
longer than four or five minutes. l
am here on visit to your beautiful
city of Dayton, not on any political
mission or to talk on any of the po-
litical questions of the remarkable
canvass that has just been closed. |
understand these greetings here to-
night are not SO much in honor of
myself as on account of the peculiar
interest that is felt in the present con
dition of the country. In the excite
mcnt that has pervaded before and
since the election, people of ardent
Compartments have said and done
things that are indiscreet, but as the
excitement subsidies we begin to re-
turn to our better wisdom aud iudg-
ment. | have too much pride in the
saving common sense of the Amcri-
can people to think they desire to see
in their country Il MeXicanizcI gov
eminent.
Whatever may be the result at
which the lawful authorities arrive,
you and | will quietly submit, and |
have sufficient respect and confidence
in the great majority of the opposite
party to believe they will do the
same. l was glad to see in a paper
this evening an article from the Lon
don Times respecting the condition
of this country. Such q state of af-
fairs, it said, could not occur any
where else in tho world-the entire
area of the country agitated by the
uncertain issue of the political con-
flict, and yet not one shot fired, not
one man killed, no breaches OF The
peace. We have seen In this centen-
NAL year the wonders of our growth
displayed IN the exhibition Of agrl-
cultural and mechanical art, and we
are now afforded and opportunity of
giving to the world an example of
the nature of Republican govern
ment.
In speaking to you this evening |
have referred without previous
thought to what must have occurred
to every one Of us standing here. and
| take my lpayo OF you with my most
sincere acknowledgements Of this ex.
preston of your friendship and good
will

The revolutionary programme {

The revolutionary programme of
the officc-expectant Democracy IN
the North is not meeting with much
endorsement III the hands Of their
Southern brethren. Whenever they
talk of "Wah7 to inaugurate T,ldcn,
IN the presence Of the Southern lead
ers at Washington, the latter are al
most sure to meet the suggestion
with the remark that the South has
had enough Of fighting, and that her
people do not intend to renew civil
strife to decide who shall have the an
pointment of the postmastcrs and
revenue officers during the next four
years. The copperhcads who have
always cringed to the Southern De
mocracy, are Just now coming IN for
4 good many kicks and cuffs and
snubs from their masters. \ rood
illustration was offered ut the Demo-
cratic Congressional caucus las.
week. Fernando Wood had made a
long speech IN which he reproached
the Southern Democrats for want of
zeal in the present crisis. He sad
to them: "You sit with folded hands
while time is slipping by. You have
done nothing; you will do nothing;
you are beaten" Much confusion
followed, when Ben Hill arose and
III the opening sentence of his speech,
referring to Wood, said: "Pcrhaps
the gentleman is not aware of the
conservative influence of fifteen
inch shell with the fuse in process of
combustion" He then went on to
pitch into the Northern Democracy
III caustlc style, saying to them that
they had deceived their Southern
friends once, but could not do it
again; had cnticcd them into war fif-
teen years ago, and then sent regi-
ments upon regiments Of war Demo-
Gratis down TO whip them; all of
which was very discouraying, not to
say disgusting, to the Northern fire
eaters.

\ SERIOUS scandal il abroad con-
corning the management Of the Mt
Pleasant Hospital of the Insane. i
few days since, Mrs. Shaver, one of
the patients in the Hospital, escaped
and found her way TO her home in
Calamus, Clinton county. She had
been in the hospital for two years,
and though insane, was not danger
nus. y short time after her arrival
at home it was discovered that she
was enciente. A statement to that
effect was published, and emphati-
cally contradicted by DR.. Mark Ran
ney, the Superintendent of the insti-
tuition. BIT the Calamus authorities
now bring forward a reiteratioD of
the former statement, and proofs of
its truth. This shows that a great
wrong and outrage has been commit
ted by somebody connected with the
Mt. Pleasant Hospital, and demands
the most rigid investigation.

The Cons.rDatiTe OF this week sayG ediioriaiy
TO our mind there ia 10 doubt that Hayes is ems
titled in justice to the vote OF Oregon. y BuHetin,
Yes, and just following the above sen
tcnce We added that we were just as salts,
fed that Mr.. Tilden was entitled to the
electoral vote Of Louisiana. This the
BULLETIN forgot to publish. - ConScrta,
tire.
What you thought about louisa
ma Was of 10 manner OF interest to
us or to our readers, The point
of our paragraph was, that while YOU
admitted that Hayes was in justice
entitled to the electoral vote OF Orc.
gon, you at the same time reioiced
at the prospect of its being stolen
from him by the illegal act Of the
Democratic Governor. Your ubila-
ton and Growing over transaction
that you acknowledge is a fraud,
simply because it is supposed to IN
ure to the advantage of your party,
show you to be politically dishon.
est, and precludes you from railing
at alleged Republican frauds in
Louisiana OF elsewhere.

And yet we have no reply from Post
master Toman, how he could refuse to
take the hundred dollars from Cooley be-
cause he was honest, and yet can find it
within him to defend the Louisiana
frauds. Dubuque Herald
Pension-agent-expectant Ham will
never cease to wonder why any jour
nalist should refuse bride. He
cannot discover in his own nature
any instinct that would prompt him
to decline tender Of cash, no mat.
ter what the consideration required
of him or the disgrace involved, and
that others should stand upon prin-
ciplc, or as he regards it, he so
squcamish rs to refuse to prostitute
their pens and sell their principles,
when money is 10 be the price OF
complalsancc, is a mystery beyond
his comprehension. So much in cN-
planation Of the scorntul allusion
contained in the first part OF the
above paragraph. Regarding the
charge that we defend frauds in
Louisiana or elsewhere, it is untrue.
1t is Pension-aSent-expectant Ham,
and not POSTMASTER Toman," who
is defending murder in Louisiana,
and grand larceny in Oregon in the
interest of Sam Tilden. 1t is Il case
of mistaken identity, Mr. XeroW.-
The man who defends knavery and
swings his hat when there is foul
deal is not far from your elbow, Mr..

\ RESOLUTION was introduced in
the House on Monday, and pressed
to a vote, directing the committee on
Judiciary to prepare and report with
in thirty days, an amendment to the
Constitution prohibiting the pay
ment OF claims to disloyal persons for
use and occupation Of property or
for property destroyed during the
rebellion. The resolution passed by
vote of $50 to SO. \ significant
fact in connection with this vote was,
that every Southern Democratic
member present voted in the mega
tive, showing that the charge made
by the Republicans during the late
campaign, that payment Of these war
claims was a vital issue with the
Southern Democracy, was substan-
TALLY true. Among the Northern
Democrats who voted against the
resolution and with the Confedcr-
ates, we find the name Of Mr.. Aims
worth of this district. What could
have been his motive cannot be con-
ceivcd. He surely need not have
been in doubt as to the sentiment of
the people of this district npon such
q matter.

Hon. SCoTT LORD, of New York
one of the fairest and most candid
Democrats in the house, is reported
TO have said in private conversation,
few days since, that he was IN New
York when the Oregon infamy was
incubated, and that he entered pro-
test against it at that time. He
went on to say that he thought no
honest man would accept the Presi.
dcncy, if gained by such means, but
was told by Tilden and others, that
the Republicans were committing
frauds in the Returning Boards, and
this Oregon matter was designed to
beat them at their own game. Mr..
Lord still could not see the wisdom
or justice of it, and frankly said that
Tilden could not afford to handicap
himself with the odium of endorsing
such Il transaction rs that Of Gov.
Grover.
