nizcs the real Governor OF Louisiana he has the real
Governor South Carolina, he win block the game Of
all reckless political gambler The country ready for
Mr. Hayes far as human agencies are concerned.
Let hope that his policy viii be such as to bury all
| such agitators as Mr.. Blaine"
| There is no denying the alarm Of The Gin
ctnnad Enquirer the possibility Of the election
Republican Speaker While the rest Of the Democrats
press ulng itself to sleep under the deusOn that tho
breach in the Republican party is widening that journal
is fully awake to the danger OF the situation II shrieks
in this vigorous style: 1.-THE evidence ia cumulative to
the effect that the Southern Conservatives and Demo
Gratis have actually been seduced BY the acts and ut
terances Of the Southern Democratic members OF Con-
and by the expressions OF the Southern press
may fairly Judge them. We have seen the conspicuous
| part which John Young Brown and Lamar. and Ben
HILL and Gordon and Levy have played in the perform
up to date. We all know how the lesser lights In
the South have followed their leadership The Southern
press has caught the STEP and the Southern sentiment
or much OF it, ia plainly before us. Having tho
chickering's in the past which made Hayes President
are not alarmsts when call attention TO the danger
Of barganngs in the future which threaten the loss Of
the organization OF the House TO the Democracy"
Nasty, like his Democratic brethren, is still
inconsoable Prosperity has not yet dawned upon the
Corners and in seeking for the he concludes that
No troO Southerner kin be enterpsn and progressive
long he is ground down under the iron heel MILL
tary power" Continuing in the strain he says:
Our citizens feel Their condishun keenly they
hewitt dun stroke any kind work for yeers Their
feeds all left uncuvaed except they kin ndOose
new niggers which come here to work in EN-, but they
hewitt anything TO pay with they never work second

Concerning the part Clerk Adams will play
in the organization of the House, the Washington
respondent OF The Boston Journal has the following:
I" Tho Constitution provides that each house may de-
tcrmne the rules Of its proceedings and after the pro-
tracted contest for Speaker in the XXXVIh Congress-
the present 1l6h and 147th rules were adopted They
provided that pending the election of Speaker the
Clerk shall preserve order and decorum and shall decide
all questions Of order that may arise subject to appeal
to the House, and also for the peranency OF the rules
then adopted, unless otherwise ordered But Mr..
Clerk Adams's most dangerous authority, under which
he will be able to exclude lawfully elected Repre-
sentatves from participating in the organization of the
House and to permit others to vote who have no just
right is given him by statute law. This law, based
upon the acts of Feb 81, 1867, and March
g. 1863 invests him. Clerk Of the last House. with the
power of making roll OF the Representatyeselect on
which, guided by his Judgment or his wishes, he Is TO
place names of those and of such persons
only. whose credentials show that they were regularly
elected in accordance with the laws OF their states
respectively, the laws Of the United states As he
has the authority to direct the not 10
admit into the hall any whose name lie does not see
fit to place this roll and TO admit all who are thereon
inscribed 1t will be seen that he has great deal to DO
with the organization of the House."
A wOrdy war has broken out among the
Wisconsin politicians and not unexpectedly ex-senator
Carpenter is party of the first part short time ago
The La Crosse (Wis) Republican and Leader published
article rejecting upon Mr.. Carpenter for acting as one
OF the counsel Mr. Tden during the count Of the
electoral VOTE and saying that Mr. Carpenter is moth
ing everything, and anything for pay policy" There
upon Mr. Carpenter wrote letter to that paper stating
that his appearance before the electoral tribunal was
simply professional character and had nothing what
do with his party affiliations One sentence OF
his letter follows: Since the firing upon Fort
Sumter have always voted the straight Republican
ticket peyer bOed candidate, and have been on the
stump for the Republican party in every campaign ex
cept one, and that III the year when Gen. c. c.
Washburn scOrnod all assistance PUT the party in
his pocket and disappeared with it." This calls
out n reply from ex-Gov Wasbburn, who denies that
scOrned assistance in the campaign of 1873 and adds
that the Mr. Carpenter not asked 20 go upon
the stump was that the State Central Committee did not
think prudent he should do the convention had
passed resolutions condemuing the corruptons OF
the Grant Administration the Credit Mober transac-
on and the back salary grab These resolutions were
supposed to be aimed squarey at Mr. Carpenter AT.
Washburn adds with these resolutions staring him In
State Central Committee ask Mr Carpenter to go upon
the stumpl But Mr. Keyes had correspondence with
Senator Howe on the subject, and he with just appre-
citation OF the public sentiment at that time, wrote back
that it would be unwise for either himself or Senator
best thing you do with Senator Carpenter and myself
is put blanket on u.s. lead US away INTO the stDie'
and let lis stand until the storm ID oyer.'
The two Illinois Senators visited the Legis-
lature of that State last Wednesday improved the
occasion to make addresses. Senator Davis spoke
follows before the Senate 81 accept with gratitude
the unsolicited honor the Legislature conferred on
me by electing to the United States Senate.
This great trust is the more acceptable because
1t is the generous offering OF members Of both
parties, and brings with 1t that independence which
every man IN public life should enjoy have confidence
that in the future shall enjoy restoration OF
prosperity To this unity and peace Is indispensable.
With their establishment feel sure the difficulties which
stand the way of revival of prosperity VIII be re-
moved. II contribute to bring this about, nope 10
receive your confidence" On visiting the House he said:
For 80 years when Ihave had occasion TO say anything
to the public have sought TO prove it, But don't sec
how can do SO now. don't know that can now show
YOU that YOU did wisely in eecting the Senate But
seriously thank you for the high compliment done me-
You might have elected man who could have served
you with greater ability. You could not have elected
man who will seek earnestly TO serve you we'll
While the past cannot be recalled 1t is now our para
mount duty to all traces OF the struggle when
endangered the life of the Republic 1t now our duyto
labor 10 restore raterna feelings to cohe all the states
with their constitutional powers and insure full protec-
ton of all citizens In their rights For that shall labor
