PREsIDENTMAKER WELLS.

The "souihern-claims" spectre was one
of the last of the fearful phantoms con
iured up by the republican orators OF the
late campaign. 1t was predicted by Mr..
Blaine that should Tilden come in, the
"Confederate House" would pay the rebel
war debt, and saddle upon the hardhanded
mechanic of the North a heavy burden
of taxation in order to meet these claims.
The editor of Cincinnati Commercial
came all the way to New York 10 make
a crushing speech on this inspiring theme,
and all the republican organs howled in
dismal chorus. Mr.. Morton preached
the same terrible doctrine, and Bob lnger-
soil was witty and scornful in his denun-
ciation of the "southern raid on the
United State treasury. There is no doubt
that many weak-minded persons were
deceived by their eloquence; and even
after Mr.. Tilden came out in his letter
and "sat on" the ''southern-clalms
spectre, it still kept up sort OF existence
until the close of the campaign, MIR. Ill
den showed then that the danger was not
from srebel' claims. An amendment to
the constitution settled their fate. The
danger was from so-called ''loyal''
claims, gotten up by the carpet-baggers OF
the South and lobbied through Congress.
The mighty Logan was in this branch OF
business quite extensively. But how
much more effective would have been
Mr., Tilden's reply if he had had the facts
before him concerning the claim ofthe
president of the Louisiana returning
board. j. Madison Wells. He said the
other day that his ''claims" amounted tc
about 100000. His claims as filed ex
ceeds S4j0.000. This claim is for beef
for cotton and various other property
seized by the union army, every item o
which is fraud and a swindle. Sucl
claims were passed during the republi
can regime, and prominent republican
politicians participated in the ,divvie
thereof. The lobby at this time waxeC
fat and were flush Of money. 1t was no
until the confederate House" came il
that this was stopped, and even now tn
confederate brigadiers" stand as wal
against this assault on the treasury. w
hope that Mr.. J. Madison Wells viii
invest judiciously the 100000 which h
will receive from the treasury: and tha
it will comfort his declining years.
, will now, perhaps, be better understood
why Mr.. J. Madison Wells, president O
the Louisiana returning board, is s
obedient to the count-in conspirators, AN
it must give all true republicans gloN
Of honest pride when they reflect that thi
is the man who is to name our next Pres
ident. Mr.. Morton and Mr.. Sherman
r think that the duty of the Vice Presiden
: is simply to record as final the decision {
Mr.. j. Madison Wells, whose function
, is to give us our future President-Bdt

COUNT THE VoTE--The Washington
correspondent of the y. Y. Herald in to-
days issue says; 1t is understood
that the Senate Committee on Counting
the Electoral Vote has not as yet agreed
and the evidences point strongly TO op-
posed views among its members. 1t is
only known that positive views have
been adopted against the right ofthe Vice
President TO count the vote. Senator
Edmunds, chairman of the committee
declines to say anything onthe subject be
cause in his own words, he has placed ;
bride on his mouth; and the committed
has resolved not to divulge anything dur
ing the course of their deliberations"

The Electoral Vote of Florida for
TiLden,

Senator Jones, of Florida, confirms the
report that the new Returning Board OF

the plea that the direction of theSupreme
Court has not been fully complied with.
That re-canyass, he says viii show ma
iority in the state for the Tilden electors
of over two hundred and will show it so
clearly, that although the report will
come to Congress out of time and irregu-
lar. no decent Republican or honest man
in Congress or out, will be able to disbe-
Ieve or oppose it.

Hubbard was inaugurated in the after.
noon. Referringin his inaugural to ma
tional affairs, he declares it "unfortunate
that the result of the nations suffrage

of its utter moral incompetency for hon

tainted with the deepest suspicion o

The Powers of the Vice President

In 1871, 1915, 1919, 1853, 1857, 1861, 1865,
1862 and 1873, as in every Presidential
election since 1871, and including that,
the official record states that, "the two
houses of Congress being assembled, the
certificates of the electors of the several
States for President and Vice President
were in their presence opened by the
Vice President and delivered TO the tel
lers, who, having read and ascertained
the number of votes, presented to the
Vice President list thereof" That i:
to say, the Vice Prerident has never
since the year 1898, assumed to do any
thing more than open the packages ant
hand them, without even himself look
ing at their contents, to Ethe tellers, whc
represent the two houses.

THE MEssAGE.-The Herald and the
Commercial both complain that they
were not favored with copies Of the Gov
ernor's Message. There is often more or
.ess trouble about getting early copies OF
,his document. We have experienced the
same difficulty frequently. This often
arises from the uncertain time at which
The printing Of the Message is complet-
ed as it is often delayed from various rea-
sons,esPecially if the proofs have to be sent
through the mails. In the present case
We are informed by the Secretary of State
that all applications to him for copies of
The Message were referred to the Cover
nor as has been usual. The Herald, we
believe, made no application to the Secre-
tary or the Governor either, for an ad-
vance copy. The Commercials city ed
tor applied to the Secretary of State, and
was referred to the Governor That pa
per says:
upon the Governors arrival at Dover,
on Tuesday, Mr.. Hersey met him at the
Depot, and the following conversation oc-
cured:
Mr.. Hersey-Did You get my message
Governor?
Governor-Yes did
Mr.. HI hope it suited your conven-
ience to comply with my request.
Gov.-No, didn't, and did mt intend
to.
The Governor then condescended to ex
plain that two years ago he had given a
copy of his inaugural address to the Com
ncrcial, as to other papers, but that the
Commercial had passed some criticisms
upon it which he did not like, and so h,
did not care to give it copy, again"
In the above the Commercial furnishe
an answer to its own complaint, although
i may not quote the Governor accuratel
We think by examining its files for 1877
the Commercial will find that it intimate
to its readers that the publication of tn
Message of Governor Cochran was impo.
ed upon it; or that its language was sue
as to allow its readers to draw such an il
ference; although it had solicited cop.
then as now. Criticism is one thing, an
insult is quite another. The Governo
no doubt expected his Message to be scr
ticized," but neither he nor his Secretar
expected to be told, or have it inferred
they imposed the publication Of the Coy
ernor's Message upon the Commercial {
any other newspaper. We think tn
readers Of that paper should come to IL
conclusion that the Governor was quit
r.gh: under the circumstances.

II Is now alleged by those who have
given the subject consideration, that the
excess of shade trees in Savannah was
one of the exciting causes ef the fearful
prevalence of the yellow fever in that
eity last summer. The moral is that too
much shade is more preiudicial to the
general health of community than what
j., generally termed too much sunshine
The many who have a dread of sunshine
