Ivarts was at that moment the actu-

al, if not the legal, Prime Minister of
Of the new President. 1t was the
Tuesday after the inauguration
Did he write this letter without con-
sulting his chief, or after his chief
had refused his assent? 1t is an
open secret that Senator Blaine first
heard of the pledge from Senator La
mar after the Inauguration, and
thereupon instantly sounded the
alarm bell to arouse the Faithful
Senator Lamar had believed, before
that conversation, that Senator
Blaine was cognizant of and assented
to the pledge
Mr.. Hayes, therefore, first secured
the Electoral Commission by the
force of extreme State rights doc
trines, and then, having done this,
by a new development of the same
doctrines captured the Democratic
House. Are the average runners of
the political machine hereafter to
know Mr.. Hayes, Mr.. Matthews and
Mr.. Evarts as "dead beats2' Apply
the doctrine of constitutional rela-
tons between Washington on one
hand and Columbia and New Orleans
On the other hand, which the Electo-
raj Commission set up, and by what
right does Mr.. Hayes maintain the
army to-day as body-guard around
Packard and Chamberlain? To put
down Instruction or domestic VIC
lence IN those States? But the Pres.
ident has no shadow of authority to
do this unless the State asks him to
do it; and where now is the evidence
that the State asks it? Is Packard
the Governor Of Louisiana, and can
not the Legislature be couvened?-j
What evidence is before Mr.. HAYES,
or Mr.. Evarts, or Mr.. Matthews of
insurrection in South Carolina or
Louisiana? Aside from the pledges
made by notorious counsellors of Mr..
Hayes, how or when, upon the State
rights theories proclaimed by the
Electoral Commission, does the
President get one iota of authority
to assume the existence of an insur-
rection in a State which does not ex-
list? If a State is sovereign enough
to create Presidential electors, WHY
not sovereign enough to create its
Governor?
There can be no middle ground of
compromise in these two States be
tween the two political parties. If
the Republican party be not entitled
to WELD the power of the State, then
the Democratic party is. 1t will be
disgracefully fatal to American in
stitntions if either party stoops to
trade or concede away any Of its
rights. The Governor and a MAORI
ty of the Legislature, as really elect
ed IN each State, either are Democra-
tic or they are Republican. If the
Administration retreats from the
doctrines of the Electoral Commits
sion and dishonors the pledges of
Mr.. Matthews and Mr.. Evarts, and
maintains a lawless body guard of
hayonets in those States, let the
Democrats in each of those States
stand by their arms till Congress
meets. Then let the plain Issue be
made: STATE RIGHTS, OR NO NATION
AL ARMY!- N. Y. World.

Political Suicide.

Until it shall he demonstrated be-
ynnd all shadow of doubt that Mr..
Hayes intends to cut loose entirely
from the corruptionists and rise super
ior to partisanship; until he proves by
his works that he Intends to be o ma
tional President, recognizing the South
ern States as coeqnal in the Union; I'M
til he shall grant us justice without
asking consideration-ouro uly safety
is in stunning him. If we wrong him
in our suspicion, for which we have full
cause, we can make reparation. If we
wrong ourselves by blindly committing
our State to his support it mag be years
before we can retrieve the blunder.---

A PERILoUs PRECEDENT. Mr.. Til
den has the melancholy consolation of
being the first man in American histo-
nv who, having at his back clear alb
solute majority of the popular vote,
has not won the presidency. Nay,
more, the electors chosen to nominate
him secured success at the polls, yet
were ignored by state officials resolved
that Democrat should not win. We
have long heard from American states
men that the supremacy of the MAORI
ty was the guiding principle of their
institutions, but in this case it has
been deliberately set aside. The peo-
pie, rather than risk civil strife or pro-
longed uncertainty, have decided just
now to submit; but the precedent is
perilous and the zone more vic Dry" of
the Republicans will probably be their
