IT is now conceded that there were
ample grounds far defeating the Presi-
Dental count under the electoral bill af-
ter the eight to seven legerdemain com
menced, and that the defeat would have
compelled an election by the House or
by the people, and that in either case
Mr.. Tilden'a success would have been
certain. Now, what the INITIATED are
exceedingly anxious to find out, is, why
certain Democratic Representatives re-
jected this straightforward, manly, and
constitutional way of securing non-inter-
vention for the Southern States and took
the circuitous and uncertain method of
counting in Mr.. Hayes and relying upon
ASSURANCES. From Tilden no pledges
were needed. His nomination meant the
subordination of the civil to the military
power. His election meant non-inter-
vention, and it would have followed his
installation as night the day.

BROKEN PLEDGES to the South" is
a favorite headline now The truth is
there ought not to have been any
"pledges" They furnished no excuse
for members to proceed with the count
after the spirit and plain letter of the
law had been violated by the electoral
tribunal. The fact that promises were
exacted on the one side, and given On the
other, is conclusive that the way was
open to the defeat of the conspiracy after
the original bIunder was committed.

falls behind Grant in one respect. for before
Grant went out of Office he publicly said
that State governments which cannot sus-

he continued the troops in New Orleans

successor or deprive him of the credit of

President Hayes hesitate at a point where
President Grant was prepared TO act? Had

The Game La

Our friend of the Newton Bulletin,
under the caption of IAN Ercr Cor
rccted,7 thus takes The CLARION to
task:
Our good contemporary. the Jackson
CLARION a a general thing always correct
on Law points, his lei lis readers TO be
lieye that the game law takes feet
from the 18Th OF March 10 the Is n
OF SepteIn Der G-tsiug our informstion
like many other papers published in the
State, from the CLARION, we tell in.o the
same error last week and stated that said
Law took effect the l5h OF March. Since.
however, We have exam ned the law and
find that it reads as follows:
The Bulletin then quotes the first sec
ton Of the act approved March 31st,
1876, and concludes: 1T will be seen
that the law takes effect from April 1st
as 10 birds and 18th of May rs to deer,
ETC.
A supplemental act was, however,
passed and approved April 14th, and
which will be found on page 2.3 Ac;s
1876, amending the first section referred
to above $50 as to substitute the
18th day of March for the 15d day
Of Nay and the 1st day Of April, achere tic
same occurs az said section"
So that it will be in order for our ex-
cellent contemporary to correct his cor
rection of our statement of the Game
| Law.
| In this connection an esteemed CORES
pondent writes us from Water Valley as
follows:
EDITORS CLARIoN:-I see it stated that
the Game Law was changed at the last Leg
