4 Nisglatement of the Case.

The Richmond Dipaieh should study
up West Virginia pOlitle1 before using
our elections to "Adorn moral or point
tNls,' ItrSiGrI TO the contest in 1872
between Wilson and Davis In this dis.
trio. and between HagHnI and Martin In
thO Second, and goOa on to comment as
iollowI
MARTIN and Wilson, two Democrats,
wore elected to Congress from the First
aud Second Districts Of West Virginia at
the time Of the regular election, as they
aud all Of the yOers supposed. After.
wards it wai discovered that there was
some doubt as to the election day, and
tSO Republicans ran for the same seats
4 few months later. They received no
votes worth speaking Of, however-the
people regarding The LAST election as an
unIawlul one But mark. the sequel.
These Two Repub leans, who did not re.
ceive one'iourth as many votes as the
Democrats named, we're seated by Re.
publican House Of Representatives, and
the two Democrats, who were unques.
tiOnsbly the choice Of the people, were
unseated. THERE'S no rWuality for which
a Republican Congress has not furnished
a precedent"
This statement is about as far out Of
tho way as one could we'll get, The con.
lest in this district was between two
Democrats, John ]. Davis and Col. Ben
Wilson, There was great uncertainty as
to whether our schedule Of officers 10 be
elected August, 1872, the time the new
constitution was voted on, should include
members Of Congress. Both candidates

cour's willing to run again in October,
and did run, but Davis having been sue.
cGs'iuI preferred to abide In his tent, and
consequently did not contest with the
Colonel in October,
This state Of tbinRa was exactly re.
yerIed il the Second District. There
Haguns rep ran against Martin Dem
at the August election. There was really
no fair aud square canvass. Martin was
not IN the field, and neither was Hagans
10 any proper sense Of tho word. But
nevertheless Huguns got a majority Of the
vote cast, which was quite small and &c.
lrct, and on the strength Of his vote waa
admitted to seat in Congress.
In lhis Di4triOI the big vote was cast
at the August election, while in the %

a much larger vote waS east in this Dis.
trict in August than in October, while
just the reverse was the case in the ID

not undertake TO decide who Is Governor;
that is question to be decided by the
Legislature, and, when that decision is
made, 1t will be accepted by the Presi.
dent, and he will let the Governor and
Legislature run the State Government
without armed interference of the United
States, requiring of that Government the
protection of the lives, persons and lib
erty Of the Whole people. That is the
whole scheme of the President. Could
he have done less9 Has he ever tried or
proposed to do more?
Gen. Grants plan was to enable the
State Governments to secure the safety of
the colored people. He furnished the
troops, but the Governments never per-
formed their part of the plan. Hayes
ultimate object is the same as Grants,
but Grants plan having proved failure
he proposes to try different plan. He
seeks to establish conciliation and peace
between the blacks and the whites as a
substitute for the use of troops to uphold
men in Office who protect nothing but the
plunder they can accumulate. Suppose
the President should continue the troops
at the st. Louis Hotel, where Gov. Pack
ard is fortified, until 1880, how will that
protect the 450, 900 colored people scat
tered over a State as large as Ohio or
Kentucky? The troops protected Kel-
logg from 1872 to 1876, but the condi-
tion of the negroes was never so pitiable
Have they been by the use of troops pro-
tected since Packard assumed to be Gov
ernorP If the use of the troops be Who'll
ly inadequate to enable Packard's Gov
ernment to govern the State, is it not
time to try some other plan whereby the
State can be governed and the people
protccted?-- Chicago Tribune.

The ingenious doctrine propounded by Mr.
Darwin, the tireess Investigator of nature
and her laws, is as applicablein determining
the fate of medicines as In that OF the ami
NAL species. Every year new remedies are
brought before the public, and are soon
completely discarded as their sale rapidly
decreases. Only those medicines which arc
best suited TO the peoples wants survive the
first test. II they "are tried, and found
wanting" In the merits which they arc claimed
to possess, no amount of advertising will
make them popular. OF all the remedies
ever introduced TO the public, none are so
popular as DIR. Pierce's Family Medicines.
Their sale has steadily increased each year,
and wholesale druggists assert that the pres
ent demand for them is greater than ever be-
fore. II you would patronizc medicines sc en-

Democratic Demands.

inst as, during the war, the Copper
heads were worse than the COnfederates,
so now, the Northern Democrats are
more implacable, more exacting in their
demands, than large proportion of the
Democrats in the Southern States. To
the latter the conciliatory plans of the
President do not appeal altogether in
vain. There are, indeed, Southern lead
ers who profess to see in the plans sim
ply an insidious attempt to destroy the
unity of their party organization, and
who insist that that shall be preserved
intact, whatever the immediate conse-
quences. But these evidently represent
portion only of the Southern whites
The letters of well-known Southerners,
and the tone of the newspapers which
publish them, are evidence of the exist
ence of more conciliatOry feeling.
They cannot be said to indicate any dis
position to exchange the Democratic for
the Republican party, but al least they
imply willingness to credit the Admin
istration with just and friendly purposes,
and to cooperate cordially so far as it
labors to carry them into effect. 1t is a
sorry commentary on the morality of
partisanship that an incident which
might seem to follow as a matter of
course challenges remark by its excep-
tional character. The Democrats at the
North allude to it as a sign of Republic.
an intrigue, and earnestly entreat the
South to stand by their party. There
would be no necessity for these appeals
if there were not some ground for antici-
pating detection from the Democratic
ranks, and the cultivation of more friend
ly relations between the business ele.
ment of their party and the Republican
party as affected throughout the Sonth by
the proceedings of the Administration.
One of the pretenses which are en-
ployed to keep alive the old partisan
spirit in the South is an absurdly eXag-
gerated horror of bargains" There
must be no understanding with the other
side-the Democratic impracticables de-
clare because that would amount TO
bargaining. Democratic virtue is not so
rigid that it is likely to be shocked by
any compact which promised to inure to
its advantage. Its chief agents and its
methods are irreconcilable with any claim
to purity. But the pretense serves its
purpose so far as to restrain from posi-
tive action men whose own judgment
dictates a generous consideration of sug-
gestions framed with single regard for
the public interest. The Matthews FOs-
ter communications with Senator Gordon
and Mr., John Young Brown were de.
nounced as proofs of a corrupt bargain
until the publication of the documents
rendered the allegation preposterous.
The same cry is now used TO prevent any
conciliatory movement on the part Of the
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1877-04-27
