Happy Republicans.

The Republicans are greatly elated
over the fact that the truth can not be
enquired into in regard how the people
of South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana
voted. Their great fear has been that
their fraudulent returns would be exposed,
and that the robbery they contemplate
will be prevented. and when the electoral
commission, by strict party vote, decided
not to permit the truth to come out the
Republicans shout for 10y. First Round
for Hayes, squeals a little country
paper. THE Outworks Taken" THE
first step in the settlement of the great
controversy has been taken, and has re-
suited in victory for the Republican
side" says the Inter Ocean.
The Radical managers appear to have a
great repugnance to the truth. The first
plank-that the vice president shuld open
and count the votes-having been swept
from. under them, they are now straining
every nerve to suppress the actual fact as
regards the returns in the contested states.
While in one breath they profess great re-
spect for state rights, in the next, and all
the time, they strenuously contend that
you must not. by any possible means, &c
into any inquiries to ascertain whether OF
not the wishes of certain states, as mani
tested by the votes of the citizens cast a
the election, shall be carried out. Why
should they fear the truth?

manufactured, the grinder protects his

Mrs Holcombe is also skillful player

simply ridiculous to encore every one OF

there are few professional troupes that
could win that anywhere. 1t would or
dinarily be interpreted either as an express

Response to encore was made on every
