CoIGnx and his Record.


The New York Herald, after cit
ing Mr.. Colfax's record as Vice
President at the Presidential count
in 1873 against his declaration now
that the President Of the Senate is
alone authorized to count the votes.
says:
eve do not care to drop Mr.. Col
fax without calling the attention OF
the people to the enormity OF his
attempt to pettifog on this vitality
important question, and to mislead
the minds Of those with whom he
has credit as a man OF truth and
honor. On the proper and consti-
tutional settlement of this question
may depend the peace and prosper
ity Of the country. 1t is OF the
utmost Importance that the people
shall be fully and correctly inform
ed as to the methods which are and
have been held to be constitution
al, because If they know the truth
they will acquiesce in the proper
method. II they are misled they
will be dissatisfied and may become
the prey Of demagogues who will
incite them to dissatisfaction and
resistance. And here comes Mr..
Colfax, once Vice President OF the
United States, and over his own
name, in a conspicuous party journ-
al, positively asserts what his own
official language and action show
to be untrue. He deliberately at
tempts to misinform and mislead
the people in this way for the sake
of partisan advantage; because
he thinks il he can succeed in pro-
ducing false impression on the
public mind he may array public
influence on the side Of what his
own acts as Vice-President clearly
show to be the wrong course
There is neither patriotism nor
craftsmanship in such conduct as
this. 1t is simply disgraceful, and
it is his humble and discrsditable
contribution to an attempt now
persistently making by a handful
of Republican politicians to mis-
lead the public mind upon a sub
ject but little understood by the
people at large, in order that they
may have the public support for a
plot to "count in" Mr.. Hayes,
whether he was farely elected or
not. II Mr.. Hayes was elected
Presiden. he will he inaugurated
II he was not he ought not to be
put in by Justification Of the re-
cords such as Mr.. Colfax attempts,
On that question honest Republi-
cans are more and more agreed all
over the country, a. witness such
utterances "a that OF the Republi.
can Governor of Maine, who say:
in his message: "a heated Presi
dental contest has not been follow
ed, as is customary, by the acknow
lodged election Of the candidate o
one party and the ready submission
Of the defeated party to the result
But there is no present reason fol
forebodiugs. Partisan clamor vii
be hushed in the majestic presence
OF the law Of the land when thu
time comes for it to manifest and
assert itself. We copnot doub'
that the tribunal upon which de-
wolves the settlement Of the vexet
question, composed Of men chosen
Of the nation for wisdom and pa.
triotism, will establish the right by
clear proof Of law and ancient Gus.
tom, and that the general voice o.
a law-abiding people will accept
their decision" Evidently Cover,
nor Conner does not believe thai
the Vice-President IL to control the
matter.

Whnt Has Made the Negroes Of
Georgia Largely Democrats!

The New York Evening Post
publishes the following extracts
from o letter which q citizen Of
Amsterdam, New York, has re-
ceived from Representative Ben.
H. Hill, Of Georgia:
81 never witnessed o fairer or
freer election than the late election
in Georgia. do not believe one
fairer or freer was held in any
State in the Union. All contrary
statements are inventions made to
deceive the Northern people. But
you call my attention to Q most
significant fact, which, from your
view, is thought to indicate the
contrary, when you add: The
large Democratic vote throughout
the State seems to warrant the con-
clusion with many that fraud and
violence did exist, and that, too, to
q great extent. As you Yourself
are aware, In many districts of the
State the opposition Republican,
vote could be counted on ones
fngers.' This is true, and might
have been still more strongly stated,

ADMINISTRATIONS al Rape.

Yesterday morning news OF shock
ing nature disturbed the quiet OF the
Fig ward 1t was rumored that james
p. Hutchinson had attempted rape upon
the person of little six or seven year
old daughter of Mr.. ShIpley who has An
ice cream shop adjoining Arbenz's build
ing, on Jacob street, Eighth ward. 1t Is
said that Mrs Shipley caught Hutchln-
son in the act of committing criminal
outrage on her little daughter who slept
IN an adjoining room TO one IN when
another daughter of Mrs. Shipley's was
living sick. When caught in the net,
me man went down stairs, and at q later
hour warrant WAS sworn out against
him before Squire Phillips by Mr.. Ship
ley. Shipley gave Hutchinson fifty
cents with which to cross the river and
get out OF the wsy of the officer. He had
packed up small bundle and started,
when he remembered that he had left a
book behind. lie returned to get the
book, and was taken into custody by
officers Martin and Hensker, OF the
Eighth ward. The case will come up be-
tore Squire Phillips tomorrow morning,
at which time the full inwsrdEess OF the
affair will be exposed a number OF the
il habitants of the Eighth ward express
an opinion as to its being II case of black
mail, Ms the man was allowed to stay vt
the house from six o'clock in the morn
ing until late the following night. They
also seem to think the affair has mystery
connected with it. The complaint was

who live within y very short distance OF
MIR. Shipley. Had the case not been
taken up town, no such suspicious would
have been INDUCED in by those doubling
the affair.

A Thin Game.

We have reliable information that the
editor of the MteLiigencer, through per-
sonal motives, is lending himself to q
scheme, at the instance of outside parties,
that is rather disreputable. The HatelE-
qe5lcer man, on the say so of parties who
are prejudiced, is taking the names of q
number of citizens of this city who favor
the workingmen, but are opposed to VIC
lcuce, and because OF their political com.
plexion, intends bringing their names
forward rs instigstors of violence. If
there are any such they should be pun
ished, but we have hcsrd the names of
parties mentioned in connection with
Mr.. Csmpbelrs scheme whom we know
10 be the reverse, and who cannot be
classed as Communists simply because
the b,teiiiqencsr has a spite against
them.
