"FRAUD.''

Those persons who are so loudly cry
ing fraud" because Hayes was success
full in obtaining the presidency, should
remember that every Democrat in the
Commission voted that South Carolina
did not cast her electoral votes for Til
den, and that Cronin, whom Tilden un-
dertook to have counted in," was not
democratic elector from Oregon. This
leaves only Florida and Louisiana in
dispute, even by the Democrats. AS
to Florida, the Democrats claim the
State by 90 votes the Republicans
claim it by about 800. From the evil
dence before committees and other par
ties, the Republicans make out fair
case, and, at best, Democrats have no
great grounds for crying fraud in re-
gard to this State.
Louisiana, taking the votes just as
they were returned, had majority of
6549 for Tilden. But let us present a
few facts and let candid men decide
where the fraud lay. There are SO par
ishes (counties) in the State. The election
in 81 of these was conceded, by both
sides, to have been tolerably fair. In
FIVE counties where in the election o.
1874 there was Republican majority
of 1891, Tilden had majority of 1888
change of 1869 votes. Now, thest
counties are composed almost entirely o
negroes, and no change has taken plac,
in their politics. Proof that cannot b
cOntradicted or gainsayed shows tina
murder, intimidation and every name
of terrorism was used by White Lacquer
and other bands to prevent the negroe
from voting. Had these five countie
voted, as in 1874, Hayes election i
this State would have been as clear a
day. Now, the law of Louisiana give
t ont RsSsttpprping Board right to thro
ish where the evidence shows fraud pa
intimidation. The board threw out the,
counties, which law and right above
them to do, and the State was declare
for Hayes.
Until there is better evidence tn
fraud has been practiced anywhere,
obtain the result as declared by the Coz
mission, the cry of fraud, " coming fro
) the party who attempted to steal a vo
for Tilden in Oregon, and also in We
: mont, comes in exceedingly bad taste.

The topic which to-day overshadows
all others is the Inauguration Of Presi-
dent Hayes. 1t was peaceful, of course,
and it has been hailed with greater cor
diality and good feeling than the cir
cumstances Immediately preceding it
could have led us to expect. Even those
who did not unreservedly accept it for
what it is-a legitimate triumph of the
right-helped to swell the chorus of
welcome amid which the new President
entered upon his duties. Save by a
gloomy and vindictive circle Of malcon-
tents throughout the country, President
Hayes will be fairly and apFrecfatlvely
Judged, and his accession will be regard
ed as iLe best possible guarantee for the
ObliteratiOn of sectional feeling, the pu-
ri6cation of the Government, and the
elimination of all the disturbing ele-
ments of political uncertainty by which
enterprise has been paralyzed and the
healthy development of business retard
ed. No man b~- ---~uIvu the response

tunity of becoming source of blessing
to all ranks of his fellow citizens, and

ed that President Hayes will show him.

either by Mr.. Moody or his associates.
Letters are being constantly received
which show that a good work is being
done, not only in the matter of reform

but in leading to earnest thought upon
those problems which are connected with
mans relation to his Creator and the
life beyond the present In the city and
in all directions outside of Boston there
is a spreading influence which is con-
stantiy apparent to those who are active
an the work. and double revelation is
unfolding. While the minds of the ig-
norant and the careless are opening to
perceptions of Gospel truth, the Christian
workers are cOnfessing that they them
selves have been ignorant of the needs
existing around them. 1.-THE whole move

A large placard announces the time

the various performances of men and
beasts will come off, etc., etc. Here may
be seen as great a variety of four footed
beasts and creeping things, as Peter saw

whales, alligators and serpents far excel
the widest imaginations of the apostle,
when he saw the great sheet knit at the
four corners.

president too conservative, and object to
some Of his selections for his cabinet
but the people are with the president
and desire to have HIM act on his own
judgment, even if he does wave the olive
branch toward the South. Some of the
Republican Senators oppose the confr-
nation OF a part of the cabinet, as Sc

sition springs from personal antipathies
toward the nominees, rather than oppo-
sition to the President. Before deciding

The effect of the final settlement of
the election controversy has been mani
tested at once in commercial circles. The
reports from all quarters, in regard to
the business outlook, are more favorable
than for long time past. Merchants
are unanimous in attributing the recent
stagnation in trade to the excitement
and prolonged suspense attending the
Presidential contest, and are impressed
with the belief that now peace is assur-
ed and all danger of civil conflict has
vanished, industry will revive, and the
country take new departure. An i'm
mediate return to the prosperity of for
mer years is not to be expected, but
there is every reason to look for grad

The Inauguration of President Hayes,
one week ago to-day, passed off very
quietly. About $4,000 persons were
present on the eastern side of the Capt.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

] ask the attention of the public to
the paramount necessity of reform in our
civil service, a reform not only as to
certain abuses and practices of so-called
official patronage which have come to
have the sanction of usage in the several
departments of our Government, but a
change in the system of appointment
itself reform that shall be thorough,
radical and complete; return to the
principles ana practices of the founders
of our government. They neither ex-
pected nor desired from public officers
any partisan service. They meant that
public officers ehoqld owe their whole
service to the Government and TO the
people. They meant that the officer
should be secure in his tenure as long
as his personal character remained un-
tarnished and the performance of his
{. duties satisfactory. They hsld that ap-
pointments to office were not to be made
nor expected merely as rewards for par

INTER STATE POLICY.

The permanent paci6cation of the
country upon such principles and by
such measures as will secure the COM
plete protection of all its citizens in the
free enjoyment of all their constitutional
rights is now the one subject in our pub
lie affairs which all thoughtful and pa
triotic citizens regard as of supreme i'm
portance. Many of the calamltous effects
of the tremendous revolution which has
passed oyer the Southern States still
remain. The immeasurable benefits
which will surely follow. sooner OF later,
the hearty and generous acceptance of
the legitimate results. of that revolution,
have not yet been realized. Difficult
aud embarrassing questions meet US at
the threshold of this subject. The peo-
pie of those States are still impoverished.
and the inestimable blessing of wise, hon.
esq aAl peaceful local self-government is
not fully enjoyed. Whichever difference
of opinion may exist as to the eaqss IF
this coalition Of things. the fact is clear
that 10 the pEOgEess Of events, the time
has come when such government is the
imperative necessity required by all the

conflicting claims to the Presidency must
be amicably and peaceably adjusted, and
that when so adjusted, the general ac-
quiescencc of the nation ought surely to
follow. 1t has been reserved for gov
eminent of the people, where the right
of suffrage is universal, to give to the
world the first example in history, of
great nation in the midst of struggle
of opposing parties for power. hushing
its party tumults to yield the issue of
the contest to adjustment according to

gun by Washington, observed by all
my predecessors. and now time-honored
custom which marks the commencement
Of new term of the Presidential office.
INTRODUCTORY.
Called to the duties of this great
trust, l proceed in compliance with
usage to announce some of the leading
principles on the subjects that now
chiefly engage the public attention, by
which it is my desire to be guided in
the discharge Of those duties. shall
not undertake to lay down irrevocably
the principles or measures of admins
tration, but rather to speak of the mo-
tives which should animate US. and to
suggest certain important ends to be at
tanned in accordance with our institu-
tons and essential to the welfare of our
country. At the outset of the discus
sions which preceded the recent Presi-
Dental election, it seemed to me fitting
that l should fully make known my SEN
timents in regard to several of the i'm
portant questions which then appeared
to demand the consideration of the
country. Following the example and
in part adopting the language of one of
my predecessors, / wish now, when
every motive for Misrepresentation has
passed away, to repeat what was said
before the election, trusting that my
countrymen will candidly weigh and un-
derstand it, and that they will feel as
sured that the sentiments declared in
accepting the nomination for the Pres
idency will be the standard of my con-
duct in the path before me, charged as
l now am with the grave and difficult
task of carrying them out in the prac-
tical administration of the Government,
so far as depends, under the Constitu-
and laws, on the Chief Executive of the
nation.
