WARRINGTON, Jan. 2, 1877.
Congressional proceedings were quiet
limited last week, there being nothing done
of importance in either house but routine
matter.
The declaration of Gen. Barlow, (Re-
publican, who was present in Florida,
during the whole canvass Of the votes by
the Returning Board, that the majority of
the votes Of that State were for Tilden, has
had quite considerable effect especially
upon the minds Of those Republicans who
do not wish to become parties to a great
political fraud. To this class Of men who
desire the election of their candidate of
course, but are not willing to accomplish
t by cheating, his opinion will have much
influence upon their judgment in deciding
the Presidential contest. The Democrats
are quite jsbilant over this bomb-shell
thrown in tho Radical camp,by one Of their
own party who stands foremost in the Re-
publican ranks for integrity. 1t is proper
at this crisis to state that Is Speaker of the
House Of Representatives, Sam Randall is
a decided success. The next House will
organise with IA Democrats and 1873 Re
publicans. This does not include the
Representatives from Florida, Louisiana
and South Carolina, as the clerk will follow
the usual precedent by refusing to place
the names Of members elect on the roll
where two delegations appear each certified
to by rival Governor. There is only one
way to declare Hayes elected President Of
the United States, and that is the way Of
fraud, usurpst;on and violence from bayo-
nets.
Senator Ferry has made strong point
against himself, and in favor Of the Demo-
Gratis, in deciding that he has no authority
to declare which of the messengers from
the disputed States is entitled to mileage;
the point is that, ifhs confesses his want Of
authority to decide 4 question involving
At this time, the Insignificant sum Of few
hundred dollars, how can he assume the
authority to decide the mighty stake ofthe
Prssidency: truly the way Of the trans
gressor is hard.
That bull-dozing Chandler as he is
called hsre), notified the Returning Boards
and their confedsrates to throw every OBJ
stacls in the way Of the House Investiga-
ting Committee, and not to answer their
questions, whom the truth of the frauds
might be elected, is quite plain to every
person here, and the country will soon see
that he is bo|stering up Wells, Anderson
and the rest Of the rascally crew in Louis
lana, whose very names have become the
Synonym Of corruption and crime.
Grant, up.to few weeks ago, fully de-
served the coznomen Of "The SILENT"
sphinx-like, he would listen, but never
talk, To the surprise Of many he has
suddenly become loquacious, and has said
that he does not apprehend any trouble
here on March 4th next. If he does not
tuiend to make trouble by forcing Hayes in
the White House, why did he hurry United
States troops to this city in such large
numbersl He now talks because he wants
to conceal his plans of war against ths
liberties Of the people. Being in posses
sion Of the Capital on the next 5th O
March, and with servile Senate at hi
disposal, hs expects the people vii
quietly submit to the Inauguration c
Hayes for the sake Of peace. If tn,
American people will quietly submit t.
this programme being carried out, by sucl
INSCRIPTIONS partisans, they deserve to b.
Missed at by al the world as nation o
towards. If Congress IL left to decide th,
