How Shall Hayes he Treated?

The New York Sun answers this
question thus:
AS if he was merely tolerated. He
should be made to feel from the first
day of his administration to the last
that he is fraudulent President, that
he holds his office. not by right, but
by trickerv and fraud.
When President is fairly elected
and enters the White House, the Op.
position, no matter how bitterly they
may have assailed him, grant him the
respect due his high office, and the
personal respect he deserves, He il
not the President of his party, but of
the whole people and as such it has
always been the custom to treat HIM.
Grant has forfeited the right to be SO
regarded, and he has proved himself
to be a mau Of tastes go low and asso-
ciates SO mean and scandalous that
gentlemen may ayoid his society; but
he ia our first President who has thus
brought discredit on the Office.
Hayes, however, will, in right, be
no President at all. He will get the
place only because the Electoral votes
OF two States were stolen and the will
Of the people was thus defeated. He
will take possession of the White
House by fraudulent lease, executed
by the rascally Florida and Louisiana
Returning Boards and sustained by
the packed Electoral Commission.
Under such circumstances the peo-
pie who believe in truth and honesty
should let him severely alone, keep
away from his Inauguration, take no
part in his receptions, decline invita-
tiOns to his dinners, and always cold
ly regard him when he appears in pub.
lie. There is certain formal inter.
course that Senators and Representa-
tives must hold with the fraudulent
President, but there should be no 9th.
er. The protest against his Occupan.
cy should be quiet always, but unccas-
ing.
1t is very serious matter, cheating
the people of the United States, and
forcing them TO accept Presiden,
whom they have not elected. The
President so inaugurated shonld be
made TO feel this fact and the rebellion
of the people against such an unparsl-
leled wrong aud outrage. lie should
be made TO feel it daily and hourly,
that he is only tolerated, aud is moth
ing more than Fraudulent Presi-
dent.

THE House of Representatives OF
Congress did very sensible thing
during the last days of the session. A
clause was ingrafted III the army ap
preparation bill providing that not
dollar nor a man should be employed
by the Federal administration for the
purpose of upholding the corrupt car,
pet-bag governments of Packard, i'll
Louisiana, and Chamberlin, in South
Carolina. OF course the Radical Sem
ate would not accede to this PROPOSE
lion, but the House stuck manfully 10
its text. Conference committees were
appointed, but to no purpose and
Congress adjourned without passing
the army appropriation bills. This
may render necessary an extra session
of Congress, but the people will sus-
tain the Democrats of the House IN
their course. 1t is time that the Fed
eral army should cease being used to
uphold the corrupt, despotic and ty-
ranical governments in any section of
the Union. There can be no free re-
publican government dictated at the
point of the bay onet.

ton once settled business will start
anew making bright future for the
Capital City of the State. The COM
pletion of the railroad to Toledo
proves decided benefit to the lumber
market, while the coal trade, in which
the capitalists of the the town are
largely interested, is greatly widcned.
A sharp dog law has passed the
House after a hard fight, one member
protesting against it as protecting the
wool growing interest, and his politi-
cal creed was against "protection" for
any one interest. The bill has to run
the gauntlet Of the Senate. If it is
killed there it will be by votes from
Southern Ohio, where the dOg-g0ned
interests seem TO be at stake whenever
this matter is agita,ed in the General
Assembly. And yet sausage il little

lection" obtains. But while poor
Tray has his friends and defenders
there, here comes petition with
long list of names vouched for by the
presenting member as respectable and
substantial, asking the establishment
OF the whipping post. Put this and
that together, and the world does not
seem to move very rapidly in the
channels of progress" One of the
Reserve members, being for nonce
perhaps, "religiously mad" that a
spirit of barbarian should thus. dare
TO peep in the legislative halls of his
State, moved its rejection, but finally,
by common consent, it was put in the
custody of the Committee on "roads
aud highways The sense of the
House seemed to be that it had better
have an opportunity TO travel for its
health. Y.

representatives OF the people, placed
upon its Journal n formal declaration,
reciting the facts OF Returning Board

Presidency, concluding with Il resOlu-
ton that il is s-duiy OF the House of
Representative to declare, and il here

and qualified and wa; therefore elect

similar declaration was made concern
ing the election of Gov. Hendricks as
Vice President. These facts will con-
front the usIrpers as long as the Gov
ernment lasts. IL is The beliei-the

vicliOn of over Il million najority of

can belno practicable avoidance of the

do something at least towards restor-
ing the country to its normal condi-
ton of peace. But the country need
ed such man as Tilden at this time
strong and able refOrmer. There
would have been no question about
the publication of the Government,
and it is for that reason that the worst
elements Of the Republican party were
so violently arrayed against him and
hesitated at no means, by trick or

The Crime Accomplished.

At four o'clock on Friday morning
the Joint Convention of the House
and Senate gave the finishing stroke
to the most gigantic fraud ever perpe-
tratcd upon the American continent,
by formally proclaiming the stupend-
ous falsehood that Hayes and Wheeler
were elected, the former President
and the latter Vice President. by ma
majority of ore Electoral vote. This
is done in the face of the fact well
known to all intelligent mcu that Til
den and Hendricks received majori-
ty of over 2G0,OOO OF the popular vote,
majority of ST least Il million of the
white voters, and fair aud hOncst
majority of ftwenty-thrce OF the Eiec-
tOral votes of which they were bsseIy
and wickedly defraudcd by L band OF
desperate conspirstors by the employ
meni of bribery, perjury, and every
manner of crime by which the fairly
expressed will oil the people has been
ignored and damning disgrace
brought upon the very name of re-
publican government by inaugurating
usurper. who will hold his office by
no. higher title than the infamous
X eilogg and Stearns-!he same right
of the pirate holds the ship which he
has scuttled and whose crew he has
slaughtered. Thus fraud is put at the
head of the Government. Vilainous
Returning Boards and perjured High
Joint Commissions have stifled the
voice OF the people, but the end is not
yet. The progress that has been made
in overcoming the prejudices engen-
dered by our late civil war and i'm
bringing about an era of peace and re-
conciliation has given us cause 10
hope that fraud, and falsehood, and
hate will not forever triumph. Let
the Democracy not fold their arms and
make a final surrender, but with hope
and faith in the ultimate triumph OF
the cause of truth and justice, labor
earnestly and wait patiently for the
good time coming.

Fixing Joe BRADLEY.

The specials to all the prominent pa
pers East and West confirm the story
of the bull-doZing OF Justice Bradley
on Friday night. When the Commits
sion adjourned Oh Friday afternoon
he was in doubt whether he would
vote for or against the eligibility of
Watts, the Hayes elector fromOregon.
On two test questions he declined to
vote. The story obtained currency
through the departments that he had
gone back on the party, and great
was the CONSERVATION thereat. From
the moment bradley reached his home
at ten O'Clock until long after mid
night he was beset by leading Repub.
lican politicians, including old Il .ch
Ch andler, VIM. f. Chandler, who set
up the Florida business) Morton, Gar
field and others. AT midnight the
wide-awake newspaper specialists
found dozen carriages blocking the
street in front of Bradleys residence,

seeing the perjured burlesque on

The condition of affairs i'll this Rad
ical ridden and carpet-bag cursedState
continue badly mixed. The associate
press dispatches of Friday say:
AT l. a. III the Supreme Court
room was crowded TO hear the decis-
ion i'm the Tilda Norris ha6eds corpus
case, involving the validity of Hamp-
tons pardon. Associate Willard APP
peared on tine bench, but the colored
Justice, Wright, was absent, The
Sheriff was sent to look tor Wright,
and returned with the information
that he had net been seen since ycster-
day morning. Owing 10 the lack of a
full bench, Justice Willard adjourn, d
the Court till Monday. The absence
of Wright at this juncture creates
much excitement.
The New York uerald's special
from Columbia says: The heaviest
race pressure was brought upon the
favor OF Chamberlain. Judge Willard,
although a Republican, was known to
be infiexible in the conviction that
Hampton was Governor, but ifWright
could be Influenced it was IA tie, and
no decision could be had. Judge
Wright resisted the pressure maniully,
and it is ascertained from reliable au-
thority that n the 9th ult. he signed
an opiuiOn concnrrently with Judge
Willard, recognizing Hampton, but
the pressure was too heavy. lie was
actually in fear OF his lite, and said
til II his convictions OF law were with
Hampton, but that if he went against
his race he would be killed, so he
signed the opinion recanting and re-
voking his order of the 27th, and de-
claring Chamberlain WAS Governor.
