VICE PRESIDENT Wheeler was re-
Gently interviewed by n. Y. Herald
reporter relative to the political situa-
ton. In the course of his remarks he
declared emphatically that the presi
dency should not, could not and mist
not be made the subject oe barter be-
tween men of both parties; that the
momentous Issues of the day could on
ly be, and must only be settled By a
strict compliance with the letter and
spirit Of the constitution. He gave
utterance to the following honest an
manly sentiments in striking contrast
with the enunciation and action of Mr..
Hendricks who has been endeavoring
to foment strife and discord.
Mr.. Wheeler said cit is my firm
conviction that Congress can never be
constituted national canvassing or re-
turning board. Congress cannot 90
behind the returns, beyond the mere
question Of regularity of certificates.
Understand me clearly, for it is a point
on which | would not like to be misun-
derstood. Congress cannot investi-
gate whether Louisiana has gone for
Tilden or Hayes. The action of the
Returning Board on this point has
been final and conclusive in Louisiana.
1t is my honest belief that if there
had been free and fair vote, unob-
structed by any intimidation or fraud,
the Repuplicons would have carried
the State by at least $4,000. In the
five bull-dozed parishes the registra-
ton shows that these parishes belong
to the Republicans"
Mr. Wheeler reiterated that he would
scorn to accept power by chicanery or
intrigue, such as so-called comprom-
Use would necessarily imply, and after
heartily eulosizipg Gov, Hayes, of
whose successful administration he felt
convinced, he closed the interview with
these words Il do not believe that
this dispute will be wholly an unmixed
evil. l believe it is going to teach
the people the machinery of the presi-
dental election, which they have new
er understood before, and that it will
be the means of avoiding such trouble
Some strife In the future,

amid all the losses of revenue incident
to the depression of industry, COM
merce, and trade since Sept. /. 1873,
the debt has been reduced S51.359,

COLONEL BLANToN DUNCAN, a
Bourbon Democrat, says of the Presi-
dental question:
| do not think GOVERNOR HAYES
need apprehend any trouble. The
South will do nothing in cooperation
with the disappointed politicians who
so loudly declare for war and anarchy.
War requires organizat ion, money and
arms. The northern states are solid
IN having Republican Legislatures

ana is a tie. The only result of the
Taporinss may be sssemblages of Dem

wage war in their respective localities
by means of wordy and fierce resolu
tlons. Of one thing consider there
can be no doubt; the people hare OBJ

THE TELEGRAPH announces the
death of Commodore Vanderbilt, last
Thursday. For months this extraordi-
nary man has vibrated between life and
death, His dissolution was apparent
ly painless. His family numbering
several daughters and two sons were
with him in his last moments. Thus
has gone to his last home this man
whose life has been in many respects a
sad failure, while in other directions it
has been grand success Only mega
lively has he been blessing to the
world. His fortune approximates
S100.000O00. He lived to the good
old age of So years, rstaining all his
faculties to the moment of his decease.

\ MASS meeting is called at the
Court House next Saturday by the
Chairman of the Reform Democratic
Party for Wood County. The object
is, we suppose, to weep and mourn ov-
er the sh 'rtsightedness of brother re-
formers in Louisiana, Florida and
South Carolina in not killing a few
more niggers and white republicans,
thus securing a peaceful election
which would have put old Sammy Til

That PURE REFoRMER, Cronin, he
who stole the Oregon vote got only
$4,000 of Tilden's money for the
theft. But then, you know a first
class lawyer couldn't be expected to
spend his time for nothing, in coming
to. and going from the C.pitol, This is
the burden Of democratic defense for
Cronin's iniquity. If we can read
correctly We think We have seen in the
constitution something relative to mil
age fees for compensation for the trans
mission of the electoral votes of the
several states, and the constitution
doesn t say anything about Tilden's
barf paying it either, Anything to
cover up the fraud, boys.
