PRESIDENT ELECT TGLDES took car
riage ride on las: Monday evening, the tw o
horses, a very spirited and well known
team, being driven by Dennis we don't
know his other name), his coachman. Mr..
ridden, noticing that one of the horses was
very FESTIVE, desired to be driven slowly.
In going down Twenty fourth street, how
ever. tine horses moved at rapid pace, and
turning Il corner the carriage swung round,
the driver was thrown off the box, his head
being badly cut, aud The horses as conse-
queuce W ere left unrestrained. Mr.. Tilden,
appreciaiiug his danger, opened the right
door OF the carriage ana jumped to the
ground, the horses meantime running at
full speed. lie fortunately esca led with a
few Slight bruises. Within the past three
years no less .han three horses have fallen
under Mr.. T. on hard pavements, and
each time he escaped without injury

bitterly denounced Hayes for deserting

WHEN Grant was in St. Louis last week
ho was called upon by reporter of the
leading Republican paper in that city, and
among other questions was asked the fol-
lowing:
REp.-''DO you think Mr.. Hayes will withdraw
the troops from South Carolina and Louisiana 2"
Grant expect him to. ! should have
done so had I stpycd in Office. Not take sthe
their present duty. For neither the Chamber
lain nor the Packard governments can Toe sus-
tanned without the show OF military authority.
and i'm this free country, and So long after quiet
has been restored everywhere else, the cxer-
else OF military authority in civii matters is
the troops are gone. The Nichols aud Hampton
governments will rule as matter Of acuuies-
cence on the part of the people of these two
Staies.'
This is most singular statement to be
made by man who, two years ago, used
troops 10 drive the representatives of the
people from the State House at New Or
leans, and not four months ago placed a
corporars guard in the State House at
Columbia to decide upon the legality of the
credentials Of members of the Legislature
of South Carolina. The Democrats have
been denounced as traitors for constantly
protesting against all military interference
in the civil affairs Of the South, but they
now see one republican, nPresident, so called,
Hayes, Withdrawing the military from the
support of Chamberlain, and another Re-
publican ex-Presideut, Grant, acknowledg-
ing that ''the exercise of military authority
is very repugnant to the people, and that
"hen the troops are gone the Chamberlain
and Packard governments will disappear -
Both Hayes and Grant thus admit, the one
by his action and the other by his words,
that it was a stupendous blunder, if not
something worse, tn employ military foI ce
in organizing Legislatures, or in any other
way interfering with the civil affairs of a
State, all of which is sound Democratic
doctrine.

| AT the recent election in New lamp
shire several amendments 10 the State Con
stitution were submitted to vote of the
people for their approval, or rejection
Among them was an amendment 10 strike
the word - Protestant from the bill ol
rights, by which the right to hold Office is
restricted to persons of that particular
faith. The amendments were all adopted
by majority of the popular vote, except,
as has been already stated in these col
umns, the one which proposed TO abolish
the religious test as qualification Tor
election 10 office. The Constitution OF
the State has existed for ninety three years,
aud SO far as our knowledge extends, 1t is
the only State Consultation in the Union
which imposes a religions test of this
character. New Hampshire is an ultra
Republican State, aud the defeat of tins
amendment displays deep seated and un-
compromising bigotTy which is disgraceiul
to her people, and was not to be locked Tor
under such a government rs that OF the
United States towards the close fthe nine
teenth century. This exhibition Of stupid
a State that claims Christopher Mason,
Daniel Webster and Lewis Cass as her illus
trious sons but will stand as an enduring
monument to her shame. In speaking Of
.his vote the New York San says:
Now that New Hampshire has voted down
an amendment TO the Constitution intended To
remove the disqualification OF Catholics from
hPInlng once 'h' inquiry y Hllhrdil! suRgpSi-
ed. whether Il republican government exists III
that STATE, according 20 the spirit of the Con
stituiinn OF the United States. This proscrip-
tiuu OF members of a certain church from the
rights of citizenship Is not only fldgrdut Vio-
lation Of the fundamental idea OF free institu-
lions, tut IL is in open defiance OF the Four
tecnth Amendment, which declares. No State
abriJge the privileges or immunities OF citizens
o: the United States"
As New Hampshire denies the right of
any one but a "Protestant'' to hold office,
another New England State 0lhode Island)
carries its bigotry quite as far i'll another
direction and excludes citizens of foreign
birth from the right of suffrage, except
upon property qualification. That is a
foul stain upon the Constitution of a State
which was founded By Roger Williams,
himself a fugitive from Puritan "bull-
DOING and persecution in neighboring
province. 1t recalls the biting sarcasm of
DIR. Franklin, who, when an ignorant man
who owned a jacllass offered his vote and
it was received, asked whether it was the
man or the jnckaSs hat had voted. While
the Republicans Of Rhode Island maintain
this unconstitutional provision excluding
an intelligent but poor Irishman, German,
Welshman or other foreigner, from saying
by his vote who shall govern and make
laws for him, they looked on cOmplaceutly
and approvingly when the right Of suffrage
was conferred on Seren hundred hossdad
uneducatcd and ignorant negroes in the
Southern States. Surely this is the great
est aud freeest country on the globe, and
New Hampshire and Rhode Island are its
two brightest jewels.

SENATOR WALLACE struck that rare
plant of modern journalism, the interview
ing CORES poudeut, when in Washington
the other day, and, to quote the language
of the Phla. Times, was made to stand and
deliver his opinion on things in general
and administration politics in particular
lie takes the mountaincer's practical view
ofthe situation. Seeing the political waters
studded with rocks and cascades and yhirls
and eddics, lie naturally concludes that the
Hayes raft will haze trouble on it's voyage,
and that however completely the Southern
question may be settled before Congress
meets, it will be the prolific source of agita.
tion and discOntent, because of the keen
disappoiutmeniS OF the friends who claim
that they made Hayes President aud should
have free chance at the spoils. He says
that the administration has lost much by
delay on the Southern question, and that
when Don Cameron puts his foot down
about the Pennsylvania appointments,
things will be likely TO go pretty much his
way. Senator Baydld has expressed him
self relative to the Southern policy of the
administration in general concurrence with
the views of Senator Wallace. Neither
look for any divisions in the Democracy,
however the Giscofdant elements of Repub-
licanism mey fly into each others wool
over tue policy of their President.
