POLITICAL MURDERS
IN. o. Democrat.7

The somewhat unexpected fact
that more murders, manslaugkters.
ETC., have been committed since tn ,
election than in the same period of
time before it and during the can.
vass, have not escaped public ai-
tention. The sTATU QUO, the two
rival governments. have not caused
this-not even the Republican has
charged this, and it would he only
too glad to do so-for the same
condition of affairs seems to exist in
the neighborinS States of Texas and
Mississippi.
The New York HERALD was the
first to discover that during a poll
tical campaign in Louisiana. crime,
particularly murder, decreased. Ii;
was surprised at this, but, instead
of putting the true explanation on
IT.; instead Of admitting that during
sucil a canvass at least one half the
population cArefuIiy guard and
control their passion and postpone
their anger, knowing well tha
should they revenge any insult Or
injury, as they would certainly do
in ordinary times, such personal
revenge of theirs would he count d
against our whole people ; instead
Of giving this natural explanation
of this improved showing we made,
the HERALD went on to declare
that. while it was true that crimes
decreased, all those that were COM
mitted partook of j political char.
acter or hue, that is to say, that
While there were only half as many
murders as in nonpoIiticaf times.
all those that were committed were
political.
That this was a forced expla-
nation and that all the Radical
theories Of political murders in
Louisiana were equally false, the
past two months have demonstrate
I'd. There have been more mur-
lers than Usual committed; four |
men have been cal cd from their
homes at dead cfnight and shot by
unknown parties, and, yet, we have
lever seen a notice of one Of these
n a Northern Radical paper.
Murders in Louisiana have now NO
claim for them; they have accom-
'lished all that was wanted Of them
"a loss Of l3, 900 votes for Tilden
nd Nichols.
The past two months have shown
hat there was no carnival Of poll
ical murders in Louisiana during
he late canvass; that there were
o more Of these then than there
lways have been in this state,
ven since Radical rule has dis
r9anized society and made a
rockery Of .he law; that. in fac.
he canvass had the effect of max l.
~ all onr ci.izen. curb and guard
ieir temperS and passions. - ;

WOE.

The postponement of the special SEES
sion of Congress until October rouses
the Democratic patriot to the highest
pitch of excitement. His tears flow in
floods and his groans and signs wake
the echoes Having thus far stoutlv
maintained that the President is not
President, and that no act of his can,
by any possibility, he lawful, the excited
patriot performs the Go HIM easy feat
of walloWing, and tells the Presi-
dent-who is no President-that the
only lawful course for him-who cannot
do legal acts to call Congress to-
gether in time 10 raise money for the
army on or before June 30th, or disband
the army altogether The cause of this
hub-bub is apparent. If Congress does
not meet until the middle Of October it
will be impossible for the Democratic
leaders to keep the people by the ear
and the country and its business in
doubt and confusion much longer They
fear the work Of Southern paCification
will bear good fruit, and that would be
death to their hopes. They fear that
business men, relieved from the imme-
diate danger of foolish legislation by a
spiteful House, will take heart and
prosecute plans for the revival of trade
and that too would bring disaster to
them Not only these interested work
ers of mischief, but many other less
offensive gentlemen will probably learn
ere long that Rutherford B. Hayes is a
man not easily changed that he is
cautious in deciding upon his course,
but when he has decided he is as little
likely to waver before popular clamor
as was Andrew jackson. 1t is scarcely
necessary to remark that not one of
these brave sticklers for law allude to
the fact that it was the factous partizan
and disgraceful course of a dozen DEM
ocratic Congressman that rendered an
extra session necessary at all
But there are other considerations.
The business men and farmers of the
country will welcome this postponemcnt
as of great benefit to them. Capitalists,
who are in constant dread of changes

young man named Townsend, we'll
known up town, who, after years of dissi-
patton, signed the pledge few evenings
since, made one of the most affecting
speeches that language can express. There
were few cry eyes in the large audience,
and strong men wept freely. The tears
rolled down his own face while speaking,
and he was obliged to stop several times,
overcome by strong emotion. He said that

GRANT AND MCCLURE.

1t was truly refreshing to see a large
number of that great band of patriots,
who a few weeks ago solemnly resolved
that the most solemn and important
duty incumbent upon the citizen was to
rebuke the stupendous fraud by which
Mr. Hayes gained the Presidency, and
frown into utter ohscurity the minion
just retired from that position, fawn
upon and attempt to hob-nob with these
same two individuals at the Permanent
Exhibition opening, on Thursday. One
cf these beauties received the treatment
he so well deserved, and was driven
from the presence of the man he had
traduced, in shame and modification.
Col Alex. Mcclure, of the Philadel-
pha Times, he of all others who
has most foully vilified Gen. Graut,-
approached that gentleman in barber
shop, on that day, and with bows ana
smiles and all the mannerism of a tody,
extended his hand, with "Ah, how are
you, General; how are YOU getting
along?" Il am getting along nicely"
said the eS-President, not noticing the
outstretched hand. at seems | am
much better man now than was when
in ohice-that is, according to your
paper" With this the ex-President
left the Colonel to himself the latter
being as much taken aback as is posi-
BILE for him to be. Perhaps this may
teach the clustering editor of the
" Times wholesome lesson AT any
rate, the incident has moral, to which
it would be well for all to give heed.

THE EXHIBITI0N-The Permanent
Exhibition at Philadelphia was opened
Thursday under the most favorable aus
pices. President Hayes, accompanied
by several members of his Cabinet, was
present and performed the part of de-
claring the building open. His recep-
ton was very enthusiastic one, and
the presence of ex-President Grant,
Governor Hartranft and number of
State and National officers gave an eX-
tended interest to the proceedings,
which were witnessed by close upon
100000 people. Many of the feat
ures of the Centennial Exhibition have
been retained and new attractions add

student or place of recreation for the
ordinary citizen. this enterprise may be
gladly welcomed and its continued sue
cess hoped for.
