We see no reason says the Richmond
Dispatch, to hope that there will be any
relentiDg in the President, or any of the
ultra Radicals. Our only hope is in the
constitutional lawyers on the Republic
can side; men who have regulations to
protect and prospects to cherish. They
will hardly be willing to blast their pros
pect and destroy their regulations as
statements and men ofjudicial cumen by
simply conforming their opinions to the
interests or requirements of part, and,
above all upon so great an issue as that OF
the election of President of the United
States in accordance with the Constitu-
ton.
Even this reliance is one of hope; by
no means one of certainty. We tell the
people that they should not be surprised
at any turn the news from Washington
may take. These are most uncertain

no question about the greatly Improved
prospect, within the pat few days, of

violence of any kind. On this subject
the Philadelphia Times (Ind.) says:-
"ffhe news ffosn Washington is all of
the same tenor. Fhe conspiracy against
popular elections topples With its owl
weight, and the Democrats, taking heart
before the waveEing lines Of the opposi-
ton, and reinforced by the sympathy of
Republicans who are not disposed to
join the consprators, seem confident of
victory. The Inauguration of TiIden
will be triumph won by honest citizens,

An Eye-Opener for Hayes.
Mr.. John J. Long, Republican can
didate for member of the Louisiana
Legislature from De Soto parish, was
defeated at the polls, but afterward
counted in by the Wells process. AL
though Republican Mr.. Long does not
seem to derive his notions of honor from
Zach Chandler, and Of honesty from
Jay Gould. He declines to receive from
the hands of the Returning Board an
office to which he was not elected
Knowing as | DO" says Mr.. Long,
that Was fairly defeated at the polls,
no intimidation or fraud having been
practised hy the opposite party ct any
precinct in the parish, SO far as ! have
been able to ascertain after thorough
investigation, self respect will not per-
NIT me TO accept the position" And
then he goes on to say: II am planter,
not politician; ali my interests are
here; but, sir, cannot believe the good
OF the State or of the National Repub-
lican party can be promoted by return
ing, as elecIed, can didate so clearly de-
feated as myself"
Gov. Rutherford a. Hayes. the Re-
publican candidate for President, was,
like Mr.. Long, defeated at the polls, but
| afterward counted in in Louisiana by the
lascally Returning Board. One of the
tricks by which he, like Mr.. Long, was
given fraudulent ma ority, was the re-
l jection{of the De Soto vote on the pre-
tttnce II intimidation.
I Mr.. Hayes has been represented to the
| country as man of honorable instincts.
Perhaps, up to this time, he has not sus-
pected the rascality that has been going
on in his political interests. Perhaps he
has believed the stories that Chandler
and Mortar and Sherman have told him
about Intimidation In De Soto and other
parishes in Louisiana. But now, since
the publication Of Mr.. Longs letter, his
eyes must have been opened Is his sense
of honor less acute than that of his fel.
low Republicans who ran for the Legis-
lature9 Will bis self-respect ALLOW him
to accept a position 10 which he has not
been elected? Does he believe that the
good of the party can be promoted by
returning, as elected, candidate so
clearly defeated as himself.
