CAN THE SHEEP TRUST THE WOLF

notwithstanding the readiness of the
Washington joint commission TO indorse the
rascalities of radical returning boards, the
republican leaders are uneasy and nervous.
They know there is many "a slip 'twixt the
cup and the lp," and they are fearful that
justice will come in even at the eleventh
hour and thwart the well laid plans OF the
conspirators. They are trying to honeyfug-
gle southern democrats into the belief that
should Hayes become president the policy
of Grant towards the southern states will
not be continued. Indeed, they are now
paying court to Hill and Gordon and Lamar
and other southern members OF congress
with the assiduity of gamblers
capper to a rich green-horn ready 10
be plucked. One year ago Ben Hill
was all that was diabolical in morals
and infamous in politics; to-day he is a
statesman par excellence; breakwater, stand
ing between our nationality and chaos. One
year ago he was the slanderer of Union SOL
diers, the apologist of Confederate murder
ers and the representative of southern bar
barism; to-day he is the Moses who is 10
ness. Why this change of opinion Of one
who has not changed himself? 1t = because
the radical leaders think they have in him a
man who can aid them in the grand conspir-
acy of making president. They know his
repugnance TO strife and turmoil and be-
lieve that rather than see his country in
VOWED in either, he will influence his
southern friends to consent TO the
Inauguration of fraudulent pres
ident without protest. For the
purpose of holding him 10 the work. and
enabling him TO control his southern
| friends, ii is given out that Returning Board
Hayes, when he becomes president, will
pursue a conciliatory course toward the
south, and take into his counsel a represent
alive of southern conservatism. That the
southern members of congress have been
impressed By these outgiyings is evinced by
the fact that they have stood aloof from the
aggressive democratic members who have
tried to arrest the contamination of the con-
spiracy. But the personal organ OF Hayes
at Columbus has let the cat out of the bag
before it was time for it to jump, and it may
be that this cat has overturned the piggin
and spilled the milk Comley, the editor of
the Hayes organ. says that his mas
ter will recognize Packard and
Chamberlain, and perpetuate carpetbag
rule in the south. This announcement
of the policy of the usurper brought con-
sternation TO the ranks of the conspirators,
for they knew it endangered their hold on
southern conservatives. and made probable
the cementing of the democratic members.
Hence. kilograms poured in upon Hayes on

Mr.. Hoar in the electoral commission, speak
ing of him in anything but complimentary
terms. During Mr.. Hewitts speech there was
considerable excitement. and the house pre-
sented somewhat the scene 1t did just before
the war i'm 1851. Mr.. Hoar replied TO Mr.
Hewitt's remarks IN rather a lame speech,
after which the vote OF Pennsylvania was
decided for Hayes. After the two houses met
in Joint session, after the senate withdrew.
the vote or Rhode Island was voted TO Hayes
and the two houses came together again
After the second meeting, the house, without
transacting any business, took recess until
tomorrow morning.

OUR ROO> TER.

At twilight shades and mornings dawn
Our BOOSTERS watched the course of crime.
He's seen the perjured villains fawn,
And heard the thieving kennel whine.
On watch when Grant, the second Nero,
Ordered troops to murder law,
He's stood his ground like Spartan hero,
With indignation in his craw.
Grandly he crowed the glory
When triumph flashed, where RAIDS Law
slain,
Till the world caught up the story,
And vict'ry was the grand refrain.
He heard the crime forg'd letters rattle
And queried, "Are the victors slaves?
Or will there be another battle,
Where freemen on its surging waves
Till hope is lost to mortal vision.
Or fate funeral pyre shall build them
To save their names from curs'd derision?'
Our Rooster has but lofty scorn
For crime stained RAIDS and perjured
thieves,
And loud will crow on that glad morn
When each in hell his pay receives.
Hell Il crow when Morton pleads for ice
To cool that lying tongue of hisn;
He'll crow when Bradleys in the vice
The devil keeps in darkest prison.
He'll crow when Wells plunges under
Hell's hottest waves in search of Stearns;
He'll crow when both, with stolen plumber,
Receive their pay in bonds and burns.
Undismayed, our ROSTERS Growing,
i And though the dawn is not serene,
He'll crow till man, defiant growing,
Will by his courage change the scene.
He'll crow till man, though fierce the fight
No matter where God gave him breath
At freedoms shrine will plegde his might
For freedom or freeman's death.

THE DIFFERENCE AS TO WHICH ON
Is fsORED

Many of our readers will remember the
fable of the famous OK which was gored by
the lawyers bull. II have come" said a
farmer to lawyer, to inform you that my
bull has gored your OK and want to know
what is to be done about it." THE case is
a plain one" replied the lawyer, ''you
must pay me the value of the OK" what
did l say?' rejoined the farmer; 81 was mis-
taken. 1t was your bull which gored my
OK" "Ah," said the lawyer, "that alters
the case; we must examine into it."
When the joint commission considered
the Florida and Louisiana cases there was
no going behind the returns The certif-
Gates of Stearns and kellogg were sacred in
struments, and could not be disturbed. No
matter if Stearns did certify to lie; it could
not be inquired into. No matter if the
highest court in Florida had declared that
the acts of the returning board of that state
were Illegal and void, they must he ac-
cepted rs final and conclusive, because
they were hallowed by the certificate OF the
carpet-bag governor. And if Wells and An
derson and their negro associates, as the re-
turning board Of Louisiana. did disfranchise
1900 voters of that state, the act could not
be inquired into because kellogg had certi-
fed that the findings of the returning board
were true and notwithstanding the fur
Their fact that two of the men whom the re-
turning board declared to be chosen as cleo
tors were disqualified by the express pro-
visions Of the constitution OF the United
States. IT could not be shown because the
hOgus governor of Louisiana had certified
hat they were duly chosen electors. Such
were the decisions of the eight radicals on the
joint commission. The governors certif-
cate was the one thing needful. 1t estopped
all inquiry; it healed all defects But,
presto, change! When the commission came
10 decide upon the Oregon question, it
"Wheeled about and turned about and
jumped Jim Crow" Governors certifi-
Gates were no longer sacred things.
Governors as we'll as other men could lie
and certify 10 lie. 1t was
now the republican OK which was gored
and it must be examined into 1t was per-
tinent to inquire if Watts was federal Off
perfectly legitimate 10 show that Cronin had
not a majority of the votes in Oregon, but TO
have attempted to prove that the Hayes cleo
tors in Florida and Louisiana received ma
jority of the votes cast in these states would
have violated every principle of law known
to returning boards and joint commissions.
And such decisions as these are expected to
meet the appreciation Of the American PEG
pie. They may compel the people to recog-
nize man president in whose interest
they were made, but the people know that
he who is made president in this way is a
fraudulent executive, and not entitled TO
their respect They know that they have
been swindled out of their rights by lot of
thieves, and while they may submit to the
scouldrelism they will lOathe the scoundrels.
Florida, Louisiana and Washington conspir-
ators, and not the people, will make the
president, and his name is Returning Board
HAYES.

The marital troubles of the charming
Patti seem TO have enlisted the whole popu-
lace OF st. Petersburg on one side or the 9th
or of the somewhat public quarrel. 1t was
theatrical, not to say dramatic, business all
through. The final outbreak between the
ill-assorted pair took place in public opera
box, and the car bounced the
noble marquis out of Russia at the personal
solicitation of the fair and musical mar
quise. Fancy the whole enginery of a
mighty empire placed at the disposal of a
capricious prima donna, who wishes 10 rid
herself of an inconvenient appendage in the
shape of husband! The dispatch that

timents of bis organ, and disarm all respon-
sibility for their appearance. This was done,
but il seems it did not satisfy the southern
members, for they voted with their political
brethren of the north to take recess until
to-day.
What course the democratic members of
congress will pursue in reference to the iur-
ther counting of the electoral vote is impos-
sible to divine, but if southern gentlemen
imagine that anything they do to forward
the count will be appreciated by the men
who control the republican party and
direct its policy. they are mistaken.

for the last few days were intended
TO soothe their nerves and put TO sleep any
recollections they may have of the past
doings of these Jacobins. These men real
ize the fact that the only chance they have
to consummate the grand villainy at which
they have been working since they found
they were beaten at the polls is to lull to

greatly at their hands, and impress them
with the belief that tardy justice will be
