claims of a party capable of such
treachery. Ohio Republicans are ad
vocating this villainy. But, as Bob
Ingersoll said the other day, "I don't
believe that Hayes is prepared to
write himself down a scoundrel by
such surrender"
South Carolina and Louisiana.
Grant seems TO be forgetting the
old truth that HE that endureth to
the end shall be saved" Instead OF
recognizing Chamberlain and Pack.
ard, the rightful Governors of South
Carolina and Louisiana, both men
of noble character and distinguished
seryice--he asserts that he will only
maintain the existing condition of af-
tairs in those States. / told Grant at
my interview with him, of which |
spoke in my last letter, that he seemed
to be like his favorite quadruped-
making his best time on the home
stretch. 1t looks, now, as il he were
tired out, and sought to shirk respon-
sibility, and let his administration fiz-
zle out. like Grant but | love the
truth; and therefore / feel sorry for
his recent eakness. 1t is not like
him to dodge duty; but the Presi-
dent is doing it to-day. South Caro-
lima is republican by at least 20 600
majority; and Louisiana is republican
by never less than $4,000 majority.
Organized assassination---I disdain to
emphumize preconcerted murder by
calling it bull-dozing"-was the cause
and the sole cause of the reduction OF
their votes at the last election. 1t is
disgraceful to hesitate to stamp into
the earth, Nichols and Hampton. the
chiefs of these conspiracies. oh,
Grant, conqueror of rebellion, do not
kneel in submission before these rebels
now!
Insurance Frauds.
Poor people, all over the country,
are losing their scant hoardings by
the failure of savings banks and insn-
rance companies. When the people
will give as much attention to politics
as it deserves, they will discover-to
their surprise-that there was no need
of losing single dollar by these cor
porate agencies; that the State should
be the sole insurance agency, and the
municipality, or "to,on," the sole sau~
inqs bank When the State becomes
responsible for all the insurance with.
in its limits no fire, however destruc-
tive, no epidemic, however fatal, viii
break it and ruin the investors or their
heirs; and the vast earnings now mo-
nopolized by corporations will prac-
tically abolish taxation, or at least so
increase the revenues of the State that
public improvements now impractl-
cable will. be cheerfully undertaken.
We throw away, or farm QUITO corpo-
rations revenues enough,-legitimate'
ly belonging to all the people-to
erect and maintain public schools, Ii
braries, institutes, baths and gymna-
Sums in every town in every State.
But until we get rid of the cant that
talks of the "dirty pool of politics"
and recognize the holiness OF duty to
our country, the function of which IS
politics, we shall continue to be swim
died by corporations without respon-
sibility, without character, without
rightful authority to levy taxes on
the people.

Mr.. Ferry's term as Senator ex-
pires On the Sd of March. He has
been elected by the Legislature of
Michigan, and on Monday,sthe 9th of
March, will be sworn in and take bis
seat for another Six years. But there
will be an interim of day--Sunday

of the Senate, aud a new one will
have TO be elected between now and
Saturday a week. La the present
threatening aspect of the political
skies strong, fearless hand is re-
quired on the helm. The selection

pose of the perfiiious desperados of
the so-called Democratic party is to
break their contract, and violate

Senator Morton at the head of pubs
lie affairs to take the bulldozers by

of the Arbitration agreement has
united the Republican party into a
solid mass, aotuated by one deter
mination,-to resist and defeat the
coup d'etat, and punish perfdy. A
quarter of o million Of Republicans
captured and oaptivated by the cries
of economy, honesty and reform,
voted for Tilden but not one man
of them will go with those who un-
dertake to break the Electoral COM
promise. They will be found stand
ing shoulder to shoulder with those
who uphold pledged faith. They will
give no aid or countenauce to dis
honorable wretchss whose craving
for partisan spoils is such as TO over
come all sense of honesty or moral
obligations. IF the Presid entail
eouot is not to be completed, and an
other election must be held next fall,
Oliver P. Norton IS the man for

Our Next u. s. Senator.

The Sheboygan Herald. suggests
the name of Horace Rublee to succeed
Senator Howe. On that question we.
reserve our vote for the present, but
we say this much: How comes it
that Southwestern Wisconsin is never
thought of when the election of Sch
stor is to be considered Is it not
because we are more modest than the
people OF other portions of the State 7
The Northwest, the Northeast and
the Southeast have all had Senators,
and several have been talked OF and
urged in those quarters who have not
heen chosen but have been the re-
cipients of other high honors. We
have here just as good men. Indeed,
besides the merit of ability, can we
not claim that we have a safer class OF
men than other portions OF the Slater
The whisky lightning never struck any
of our men: none OF ours were ever
sent home for trading in silver mines;
Se have no defsulting postmasters.
It is too commonly the case that To-
cslities that furnish men who make
fortunes out of public offices are look
"a 70 for officers. Grant County, that
in the early history of the State furn-
ished the most of its brains, is now
scarcely thought OF in the makeup OF
State and national officers. We have
here one J. Allen Barber, who was
identified with our territorial interests
long before we were represented IN
the national council and who did more
towards giving Wisconsin its good
standing in tn sisternood
of States than any of the men
who push themselves and get others

Why not give him q call to be Senator
Howe's successor? Are the office
makers at Madison and Milwaukee
aware there is such q man? He hsi
not asked for preferment and never

the time now TO choose successor tc

On Tuesday the Electoral vote of
South Carolina was counted for Hayes.
This is supposed to be the last work
the Electoral Commission has to do
The Filibusters viii object to one of
the Electors in Vermont and to one
in this State, but unless By some leger-
demain, less comical than that which
produced the John Smith certificate
from Louisiana, two certificates are
presented from one or both of these
states, the contest cannot go before
the Commission. The Democratic
House will object TO the count and
possibly they may prevent an an
nouncement provided for in their own
Electoral bill. We trust not, how
ever, and that the next HERALD can
proclaim the Inauguration of r. B..
Hayes.

The Count Oregon for Hays.

WASHINGTON. Feb. "a The two
Houses of Congress met in Joint Con-
vention at noon, and the decision of
the Electoral Commission touching
the votes from Oregon was read. The
brief ground of the decision, which is
in favor of all the Hays Electors, is
that "the said Electors appear to have
been lawfully appointed, and they vo-
ted as such at the time and in the
manner provided for in the Constitu-
ton of the United States and the law;
and the Commission are further of the
opinion that by the laws of Oregon
the duty of canYassing the returns OF
all the votes given at an election OF
President and Vice President was i'm
posed upon the Secretary of State,
and upon no one else; that the Secre-
tary of State did canvass these returns,
and ascertained that j. G. Cartwright,
w. IL. Odell and j. w. Watts had q
majority of all the votes given for the
Electors, and had the highest number
of votes for that Office; and by the ex-
press language of the statute those
persons
ARE DEEMED ELECTED;
that, in obedience to his duty, the
Secretary of State made canvass
and tsbulated statement of the votes
showing this result, which, according
to law, he placed on file in his Office
on the 4th of December, 1875. All
this appears by the official certificate,
under the seal of the Secretary of
State, and signed by him, and was
delivered by him to the electors, and
forwarded by them to the President of
the Senate with the votes; that the re-
fusal or failure of the Governor of Or
egon to sign the certificate of the cleo
ton of the persons so elected does
not have the effect of defeating their
appointment for such electors; that the
act of the Governor of Oregon, in
giving to E. A Cronin certificate of
bis election, though he received 1000
votes less than Watts, on the ground
that the latter was ineligible, was
without the authority of law,
AID Is.THEREFoRE VOID;
that although the evidence showed
that Watts was Postmaster at the
time of his election, that fact 10 rem
dered immaterial by his resignation,
both as Postmaster and EIector, and
his subsequent appointment to FL the
vacancy in the Electoral College; that
the Commission has, in consequence
of the foregoing and upon the grounds

Why Advertise P

People sometimes ask why does DR.. X. V.
Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y, spend so much money
in advertising his family medicines, which are
so we'll known and surpass all other remedies
in popularity and sale? 1t is well known that
A. T. Stewart considered it good policy, and
undoubtedly it paid him, to spend many hun
dred thousand dollars in advertising his goods,
vet nobody questioned the excellence OF his
merchandise The grand secret of success lies
in Offering only goods which possess merit to
sustain themselves and then through liberal
and persistent advertising making the people
thoroughly acquainted With their good quali-
ties Men do not succeed in amassing great
fortunes, establishing thriving and perman-
ent business, and founding substantial lnstitu>
tons like Dr. Pierce's Grand lnvalids Hotel,
at Buffalo, which costs over two hundred
thousand dollars, unless their business be
legitimate, their goods meritorious, and their
services which they render the people genuine
and valuable DIR. Pierce does not attempt to
humbug you by telling you that his Golden

Prof. S. Bacon, Superintendent of
the Blind Asylum, and founder of
the institution, Ia this State, has been
MISUNDERSTANDING the Board
Of Commissioners of Public Lands.
These Commissioners, headed by
Tzschuck, Secretary Of State, assume
the power OF acting in this matter, as
1t lie claimed ny those who have look
ed Hp the law, that the law does not
vest in them any such power. AL
though unlawful, arbitrary, and more
than that, tyrannical. oppressive and
unjust toward Prof Bacon, he will
have to step aside for his successor-
who has already arrived at Nebraska
City-unless he resists by appealing
to the law, which We understand be
has contemplated doing. We do not
believe Mr.. Bacon should be removed
from the suPerlntendency, at the pres
ent time, without good reason, or rea-
sons for so doing-better at least than
any given by Tzschuok, being that
Prof. Bacon is blind, and that he
manifested displeasure alta palable In
suit offered him BY the Commission
ers in offering him stingy pittanoe
as pay, and tyrannicaily saying "take
that or nothing" Tzschuck certain
ly thinks that he Is a sort of little
King Wilhelme, and that where he
is officially concerned, Ii doesn't take
two or more to make a bargan-that
just Tzschuck Is all that's necessary.
We do not believe Prof. Bacon should
be removed, for the following reasons:
/. He, and bis wife, the matron,
are honorable upright people.
2. He is thorough scholar in all
that pertains TO the profession.
3. His experiences of many years
as teacher, and principal Of blind as
ylums In other States class him
amongst the best educators of the
blind.
4. The deep interest he takes, In
humanitarian sense, In educating and
training to happiness and content
ment, those who like himself have
been deprived Of the sense OF sight.
5. He Is the founder of the school
In Nebraska, and without whose eff
forts before the legislature and else
where. we would not to-day have an
asylum for the blind in the State.
g., He has been since the COM
mencement of the school superintend-
ing it without adequate compensa-
tion, and even drawing on his own
purse for funds to keep the institution
running.
Prof. Bacon may be compelled to
give up the place to which he Is SO
justly entitled, but it Is due the peo-
pie to understand the matter, and
draw their own just conclusions re-
garding his very ungenerous treat
ment by the said Board of Com mis-
sioners.
