Your correspondent has information from
q most reliable source that Mr.. Tilden is averse
to the policy of delay, and that as soon as
Hayes is inaugurated he will institute pro-
ceedinps in QUO warranto or scieri facias by
citing Hayes to show cause why he should
not vacate the Presidential Office, for the pur-
pose of getting before the full bench of the
Supreme Court the question as to whether the
tribunal, in excluding evidence, construed
the Electoral bill in accordance with its true
meaning and with the Constitution. This will
have the effect of an appeal from the Tribu.
nal to the Supreme Court in full bench, and
will compel the Court to 60 on record as sus-
tanning or reversing the action of the Tribu.
nal. The first test will come on the question
of Jurisdiction ifjurisdiction is affirmed, the
next test will come on the question as to
whether the Tribunal properly discharged it's
duties under the law if this be entertained
by the Court, the third and final test will
come on the question as to whether evidence
excluded by the Tribunal shall be admitted
in rejoinder to Hayes answer to the citation
to show cause why he should not vacate the
Presidential Office.

MORE ABOUT HAYES, SOUTHERN POLICl

The Philadelphia Times, an Independent
Republican paper, sketches the following as
the probable policy that will be adopted to-
wards the South by Hayes, on his accession
to the Presidential chair:
/. Rutherford B. Hayes will be declared
the next President of the United States, will
be peaceably inaugurated with the practical
assent of the whole country, and will be sus-
tanned as the lawful President by the whole
people, while two.thirds of them believe that,
although legally commissioned, he was not
honestly elected.
2. He will signalize his assumption Of the
national authority by discarding the men and
rejecting the agencies which gave him his
questionable title to the highest trust of the
Republic. He will make an entirely new
Cabinet and the names of Morton and Came.
ron will not be found in its list of the honored
advisers of the Executive.
8. He will aim at q new Republican de-
parture, that will disrupt parties both North
and South. He will recognize Gov. Nichols
in Louisiana and Gov. Hampton in South
Carolina, recall the bayonets from the South.
ern States, and invite carpet.baggers and
plunde.srs to play BY themselves hereafter.
He will teach Louisiana that his tainted vic.
tory from the Wells Returning Board of that
State is the very last that the country can
stand, and that Packard must retire, Kellogg
must vanish, and Wells he branded as an out
cast. The safety of the Hayes administration
imperatively demands it, and the country will
suffer no convulsion by the final overthrow Of
the adventures who have shamed the nation
and left the South one field of desolation.
4. He will cast from him the dregs of the

- The guard of the Aiken Jail dreams to
some purpose. He dreamed, not long ago,
that the prisoners in Jail we're making an at
tempt to escape. Relating bis dream to the
sheriff, that official examined the cells of the
prisoners just in time to foil their plans for a
general jail delivery. They had removed an
iron rim from the bucket used for carrying
water to them, and with file which was con-
cealed, they made saw, passing it from one
cell to another. With this instrument they
cut through the boards Oh the inside of the
cells, and removed the bricks. 1t was an
easy matter then to drop on the guard below
overpower and murder him, which they said
It was their intention to do. Let no man say
dreams are not prophetic.
- Chief Justice Moses was attacked by par
alysis, at his residence in Columbia, about
halfpast ten o'clock, on Wednesday night Of
last week. The Register furnishes the follow
ing particulars: "He had, for two hours pre-
vious to the attack, been seated in the parlor,
conversing with the ladies Of the family,
when he bid them good evening and retired
to his room. Shortly afterward, a servant
had occasion to enter his bed room, and found
the light burning and the Judge lying in bed
speechlesa. Inferring from his gesticulations
that he desired to speak, she approached bis
bedside, and ascertained that he WAS i'll. Sum-
moning aid, she again repaired to his room
with the lady of the house, only to discover
that his whole left side was paralyzed. A
physician was Immediately summoned, as
were also bis son, Ex-Governor F. j. Moses,
and other relatives and friends of the Chief
Justice. This attack is supposed to have
been superinduced by the great mental ex'
citement under which Judge Moses has labor
ed for the past few months, as it is but
repetition of his first attack"

ting LIQUORS, except cider, made by the seller
in the State, are two months in the county jai!
and a fine of $1,000, the offender to stand
committed until the same is paid. The law
treats cider vending by the glass Just as it
treats the sale of rum and whisky; so dealers
expect to sell it by the gallon for home con.

Maine is the State where fortune awaits

The Tilda Norris Case.
up to our latest advices from Colum'
bia, the Supreme Court had not rendered a
decision in the habeas corpus case of Illda
Norris, involving the question Of who is the
Governor of South Carolina. The delay is
supposed to be occasioned by the illness Of
Chief Justice Moses. It is also intimated that
Judges Will lard and Wright will probably
disagree.
Governor Hampton on the Commission.
- Governor Hampton has given his views
on the Electoral Commission as follows, to the
Columbia correspondent of the Ne.os and
Courier:
81 think it not advisable to throw obstacles
in the way Of the decision of the Commits
sion. We submitted our case to that tribu'
nal, and, if we have been deceived or betray-
ed, we can better afford to suffer defeat which
brings no dishonor to our party, than to incur
the imputation of acting in bad faith. Other
legitimate means of redress are still open to
US, without resorting to parliamentary tactics,
which may imperil the peace of the country,
and would surely place US in false position.
The interests of the whole country demand q
peaceful settlement of the pending question" :"
No Southern Policy yet Matured.
"A Washington dispatch of the 18th, to
the New York Post, referring to the policy
likely to be adopted toward the South by
Hayes, should he be inaugurated, says:
Tn a latter received here TO-DAY from Co.
lumbus, Ohio, the statement is made by au-
thority that Governor Hayes has not only
not expressed to his friends the probable pol
icy to be pursued by his administration in
reference to the complications in Louisiana
and South Carolina, but he says distinctly
that at this time he cannot tell what it will
be. So far as relates to the two States named,
if declared President by the joint convention,
he will endeavor to meet all the questions,
and decide them in accordance with the spir-
it of the constitution and with justice to all
classes of the people; but the question of de-
Gliding between the two rival factions in both
these States is not one which should be set
tied without grave and careful consideration,
and after full consultation with his constitu-
tiona advisers. Governor Hayes has not
settled these questions, and does not propose
to until after he is duly installed in the Pres
idential chair, and has had time to call about
him his Cabinet.
What Will Tilden Do?
- The following Washington dispatch to
the Baltimore american intmates that Til.
den will not quietly acquiesce in the decision

Grant administration by the dismissal from
his trust Of the Camerons, the Chambers, the
Mortons and the Shermsns Of the party. he
will not hurl them over the battlements Of the
administration by any aggressive acts, but be
will end their revolutionary policy, discard
their dependents, and offend them in his eas-
nest effort to teach forgetfulness Of the stains
upon his own skirts, by disowning those who
waded through usurpation and corruption to
bear him bis crown.
,.a.6. He will aim to harmonize both brsDches
of Congress with the administration. He well
understands that he has the lawful but not
the moral support of the nation in his great
Office, and he cannot confront an adverse
House or Senate. He will dissever the South
by giving the Conservatives the control of ev-
ery State government, and ending all militia.
~ interference with their local affairs. With
that done, what will they have to war against3
Their great battle will be won, and how easi-
" may they inaugurata Conservative ad.
ministration organization in the House by the
election Of some such man as Banks 10 the
speaksrship2 The South wants government,
law and peace. and Hayes has those commo-
dities to give them in exchange for tolerance
of his blotted title to the Presidency.
6. The North will share the infection Of POI
litical disruption, and uncertainty, will be
stamped on every Northern State from New
Hampshire to the Mississippi, with the single
exception of Vermont. The worst elements
of Republicanism, those which have been fos-
tered by Grant and have been the prolific 40.
thors Of reproach upon, the Republican name,
will desert Hayes, for they are true only to
the Instincts Of thejobber. They will be the
loudest and fercest to dencunce Hayes as q
pretender and fraud that was spawned OF
fraud; but just to the extent that such ele.
ments condemn him, will the better elements
Of both parties sustain him. The nation will
never love Hayes, nor can it ever esteem him
as having justly won the chief authority Of .
great people, but it will honor his Just, acts
and sustain him ID 20 far as be shall be right
Z. The organs Of the party which have been
proclsiming Hampton and Nichols from day
to-day as conspirators, assassin and usurpefs,
and which have been flaming with hate and
vengeance against the South, will, within thir.
ty days, declare Hampton and Nichols to be
estimable gentlemen and lawful Governors,
and they will pay tribute to peace and u6i-t
versal brotherhood as the shrines at which eS-
cry patriot should bow. 'f.s q ',%,eis 81
