The colored members of PAcKARD's
bogus Legislature have signed an
address to the people of the United
States, declaring that PACKARD's
right to be Governor of Louisiana is
every bit IS strong as HAYES title to
the Presidency, with the difference
that PACKARD had one thousand
more votes than HAYES, and very
strongly intimate that the fraudu-
lent President must recognize PACK
ARD or suffer the punishment of not
being recognized himself. The "ccl.
ored troops are becoming alarmed,
under the impression that His Fraud
ulency is about to sell them out to
the Democratic party, and they give
timely notice that they will not qui-
city submit to any such an outrage.
Troubles are springing up all around
the fraudulent President, and before
q year Of his administra lion passes
into history, the conspiring and
thieving party that cheated the peo-
pie out out Of their fairly elected
Chief Magistrate, will have gone to
the devil.

St. Louis Times: Hayes has moth
ing to do with the South but to with
draw the troops that have been sent
and kept there for unlawful purpos-
es. This is his plain duty-not as
President, but as Commander-in-
Chief of the army. There is no room
for q compromise. The right thing
must be done, simply because the
wrong will no longer be submitted
to. The extreme limit of usurpation
has been reached, and every step
hereafter must be a step backward.
Hayes has nothing to give, butmuch
to retract. The South must be left
to enjoy the right of local self-gov-
eminent, or the fraudulent President
will meet with more forcible opposi-
ton than q denial of his right to the
Presidency.

STATE TREASURER.

Various localities in the State are
naming prominent Democrats in con
nection with the several officers to
be nominated by the next Democrat
ic State Convention, but as yet, we
believe, there has been no one men
toned for State Treasurer, and we
suggest one of Jackson County's best
Democrats, B. KAHN, Esq, than
whom no man in Ohio would dis
charge the duties of that responsible
office with more efficiency AID great
er credit to himself and satisfaction
to the people. Mr.. Kahn belongs to
that numerous class of our citizens
who emigrated from the 'Faderland,'
is well-read and thoroughly posted,
high-minded and a first-class bust
ness man, enjoying in an eminent
degree the esteem and confidence oil
his fellow citizens of jackson county,
whom he represented in the Legisla.
ture of Ohio with credit to himself
and his constituents. Give us Mr.
Kahn as the Democratic nominee fol
State Treasurer, and mis- name will
add thousands of votes to the State
ticket.-JacksoR Herald.

There are seven in the Cabinet.
Devens supported Greeley; of this
there seems to be no doubt. Schurz
We all know supported Greeley, be-
ing in fact, a great headlight in the
Liberal movement. Key, to my
personal knowledge supported Gree
ley, and, in fact, was a candidate on
the ticket with Greeley. AS to Ev-
arts there is much uncertainty. 1t
is claimed that he voted for Greeley,
and is disputed, but from what I can
learn he did not vote for Grant. If
he was a Greeley man it follows that
the Liberals of 1872 have a majority
in the Cabinet of the present Admin
istration. Thus the whirligig of
time makes all things even.
So says R%EDF1ELD, in a late letter
to the Cincinnati Commercial. 1t is
no wonder that IN all our town but
one poor radical would illuminate
over the counting in of HAYES. The
world moves.

For the Eaton Democrat.

Mr.. Could
In your issue of the 10Th inst.
find the following:
"We are informed that our P. NJ.
is about to resign on account Of the
appointment of a rebel General as
Postmaster General of the United
States. Gen. Neal we understand
will decline to report to a rebel Gen
eral as he is not the Neal who serv-
ed in the Confederate army. He
says he took too much stock in the
"bloody shirt" business to be 'bull-
dozed" by any rebel who may be ap-
pointed superior officer over him.
He won't stand it." If permitted to
notice the above through your col
umns, l would briefly say that in the
discreditable effort here made to
place me in a false attitude before
the public, you have originated and
given currency to a statement re-
plete with Misrepresentation and
falsehoods, of which nc worthy Edi-
tor would be guilty. What, though
you have been h~opelessly disappoint-
ed in the result of the late Presiden-
tial contest from which you had fond
w looked for official position, for
yourself and political friends, does
that justify you in bearing false wit
ness against your neighbor? If You
seek to injuriously effect my reputa-
ton, here or at Washington, as a
public officer, you ought to adopt a
more dignifed and honorable way
than by innuendoes and falsehoods
in which you seem prore to indulge
in YOUR treatment of political 0ppo-
nents. BENZ. NEAL, Sr.

WANTED, by the Republican party,
a political platform for the next cam
paign. The ':bloody shirt is wash
ed and laid aside-the Pope's toe is
lost sight of-the "solid south" has
gone glimmering-the rebel debt is

"ex-Confederate" appointments have

Fraudulency, and the peculation,
fraud and extravaganza of the party
for the past sixteen years, remain to
be covered up by some plausible pre-

The Address to the people of the
United States, prepared by the Dem
ocrats of the House of Representa-
tiyes sets forth the facts of the reyer-
sal of the November election as fol-
lows:
1. That Mr.. Tilden was elected by
the people in November, enough
States voting for him to give him
1876 Electoral votes.
II. That i'll two of the States the
ballot-box was set aside by Republi-
a partisan boards who threw out
Democratic votes to the number nee
essary to elect Hayes electors.
III. That this was the result of
preconcerted conspiracy to reverse
the decision of the people, and that,
in furtherance of that conspiracy, the
tribunal created to assertion the
facts smothered them instead.
". That in consequence, Mr.. Til
den has been deprived of II Elector-
al votes given him by the people, and
kept out of the Office to which he was
chosen, while Hayes has been given
II more votes than he received from
the people, and put in an office to
which he was not elecetd.
These facts being known-and ev
cry intelligent man knows them-it
ought not to be necessary to call upon
a people claiming to be free to con-
denim such an intolerable iniqpity.

The st. Louis Times says: Gin
taking leave of his late associates on
the Supreme bench, ex-Justice Davis
expressed the opinion that the Court
lis now as worthy of the confidence
of the American people as it ever has
been at any period in its history
This being the Judges opinion, we
are constrained to believe that the
Democratic party would not have
been better off with David Davis on
the electoral commission than it was
with Joe Bradley; neither is it alto
gether certain that David Davis in
the Senvte will be much of an i'm
proyement on John A. Logan"

1t is said that Brigham Young is
about yielding up the ghost: Con
sidering the difficulties the old fellow
has had to contend with in his mari
tai relations, he has stood it like a
brick. His age is seyenty-six half a
dozen years beyond the allotted time
of humanity. We suppose that the
harem will be broken up after his
death in which case there will be a
large instalment of widows upon the
market. If they all get their thirds,
in an equal divide. they won't be
attractive to fellows who are hunting
after fortunes.

Atlanta Constitution. We have
not forgotten that General Grant be,
gan his career with words of very
similar import. Aust policy toward
the South was promised then in as
distinct terms, and with as few limi.
tations and qualifications; the same
sinister influences that controlled the
obstinate Grant will surround the
plant Hayes, and we, therefore, de
cline to build up a castle of Eope OIL
pledges.

When the Democrats appointed a
few confederate officers to small
offices, two years ago, Radical edi-
tors paved the dust and howled
"treason," but now when the fraud
ulent President puts into his Cabinet
an ex-Confederate General, it adds
a "halo of glory around the stolen
Presidency! consistency thou art

KEY, the X-Confederate rebel Col
onel and Postmaster General in the
fraudulent Presidents Cabinet, was
a democrat and appointed United
States Senator to fill the vacancy &C.
casioned by the death of ex-Presl-
dent ANDREW JOHNSON. When the
resolution relative to the Electoral
vote of Oregon was before the Senate
on the 18th of December last, Mr..
KEY spoke upon the question and eX-
pressed himself as to who was elect
ed President, in the following Ian
guage:
"On the It'll oflast November, a
majority of the people of the United
States, amounting to two hundred
and forty-eight thousand, or about
that, counting the votes of Lcuisi-
ana, South Carolina and Florida, as
determined by the returning boards,
declared that they desired that Sam
uel j. Tilden should be President of
the United States, and Thomas A.
Hendricks their Vice President. i +
Eliza Pinkston has ~fearfully wrought
up the feelings, the sympathies, the
Indignation of the Senator from Ohio
Mr.. Sherman. Her story does not
make TIE impression on my mind
that it did on his, because 1 do not
believe it; he does. The murder of
the husband, the massacre of the
helpless innocent babe, the charac-
ter of the injuries to the woman are
not the work of the white race or any
other civilized race They neUer oc-
Cured as detailed. A sala-
mander is nothing to Eliza. She tells
us that they left Henry Pinkston un-
buried, and her for dead, and yet
they took the body of the dead child
a quarter of a mile and threw it into
a lake. and on this testimony, the
FALsEHooD eohich is so apparent on
its face, a State is to be destranchis-
cd and A President Wbom the people
NEVER ELECTED is to be placed IN Of
fce."

HAYES says he will make bat few
new appointments, but will continue
Grants office-holders in their posi-
tons, where no charges are against
them. The appointments of the last
administration were in the main, so
VIGOROUSLY corrupt, from the Cabi-
-
net officers down to the gaugers of
whisky, as to demand a general clean
ing out from top to bottom.

position of our postmaster last week.

cheerfully, as we would not misrep-
resent our P. NJ.

PEACE,

1t is in the sacred name of peace,
says an exchange, that the American
people are asked to submit to the
imposture that condemns
them to rest for four years under the
rule of a man not elected by them.
Peace has her charms for all men, but
where it is only secured at the cost
of freedom Its charms are deadened
by the sense of the degradation it
involves. This degradation is all
that the so-called Republican party
offer to the people as the alternative
to civil strife. They say to the coun-
try: Granted that fraud has been
committed, granted that the popular
verdict has been set aside; granted
that Hayes was not elected; submit
nevertheless, to the cheat, accept him
as your ruler for the sake of peace.
1t may be well, perhaps, to sub
NIT, but think of the term submits
sion applied to a people whose boast
it has been that they are the rulers
and that those in authority govern
by their CONSENT 1t is for peace.
Other countries and nations enjoy
this blessing of peace. There is
peace in Russia with her Autocrat
and her serf. There was peace in
France with a forsworn usurper rul-
ing her for twenty years. 1t was
peace without liberty. We have the
same kind of peace in this country
now. We have it because the men
welding the sword menaced the
country with its sharp edge if free
men insisted upoc their rights.
To this complexion has it come at
last. Let the people p%onderthis thing.
1t may be difficult at first to realize.
1t is not easy for a people to thor
oughly comprehend the loss ofa great
right. 1t does not come home at once
individually to every man; people
go about their business as usual, and
the government goes on; but that
government is not the government
deriving its authority from the con
sent of the people; it exists against
their consent; its head is a Pretend
er, never chosen in the way which
distinguishes a republic from other
forms of government: and he is tole-
rated for the sake of peace. The
French despot, when he assumed I'm
perial robes, used the same argu-
ment, but he was more honest for he
did not pretend to be a President,
but an Emperor, when he said "The
Empire is Peace"
As we enter the fifth term of re-
publican rule, and as the result of
that rule, with the doctrine proclaim
ed by the republican party that the
American people IA no longer have
a President of their own choice and
have peace; that in this republic
there can be no longer enjoyed peace
with liberty. The republican party,
so called in mockery of the name,
tells the country that it can only en-
joy the blessings of tranquility and
repose by abandoning the dearest OF
all American privileges, the choice
of a Chief Magistrate, and bowling
ac~quiescently to the authority Of a
man foisted into the Executive Chair
by forgery sustained by force. We'll
