Tho record of I-ham G. Harris. OF

10 decline. Il was not deemed best TO

now that the election is past, the Demo

United States Senate. The man who
was not fit TO be an Elector is chosen TO

Harris was one OF the worst of those
who raised the standard OF revolt against
the Government, and it is curious COM

OF rebellion that he should now be made

THE Democratic noise over dispatches
sent TO the dspated States by the Rspnb-
lican National Committee is ear-Splitung,
but it is great cry and no wool at all.
The report that any Of the dispatches
advised the manipulation OF ballots is
absolutely false. When it became evil
dent that the election hung upon
the result 10 the doubtful States despatch
es were sent 10 Florida, Louisiana, South
Carolina, Oregon and California, asking
"can YOU certainly defeat all Democratic
attempts by fraud, false counting or
bribery to capture your State? Answer.
To an interrogation OF this nature no
man can possibly object. Another des-
patch to Florida says If your State has
gone for Hayes the Democrats will leave
nothing undone 10 take it from Ne. All
may depend on your vigilance. b on
guard everywhere. You must watch
and get in and announce the true returns
from every locality without delay.
| Spare no pains nor proper expense To
carry these points" The incubation OF
vigilance 10 secure true returns has not
heretofore been regarded as crime.
Subsequent developments show that
the warning was necessary. Another
despatch says: Oregon is reported
Republican. aud will elect Hayes. Telr-
graph several ciuzaus of integrity ia Or
egon TO watch and get in and have
announced the vote from every loca.itv
The Democrats will press Grover; hence
the importance OF no delay in establish
ing the result" This despatch is an
emincnty proper one. The Democrats
did press Grover rs the Cronin IN
lquiiy shows. The putting upon watch
ioi"citizenS OF integrity IS not the course
usually taken by those contemplating
fraud. The other dispatches are OF the
same tenor. When il becomes q crime
to warn people against piCkpockets then
the dispatches OF the Republican Com
mittee can be condemned IS criminal
| but not till then. -PCs>S.

Nonsense.

The most nonsensical proposition ever
made in earnest, and presented in sincerity
before any intelligent people. is that re-
Gently discussed concerning a settlement
OF the vexed Presidential question. We
refer to an effort made by certain parties
in Washington to have the matter left
with a tribunal composed OF an equal
number OF persons chosen by each party,
with deciding vote to be obtained by
drawing lots. This, or any other form OF
compromise is most absurd. Either
Mister Hayes was we'll and truly elected,
or Mister Tiden is entitled to the Presi-
Dental chair. We may SIS well throw up
8 cent, snd thus avoid the expense and
money Of q Presidential election, as TO
resort 10 such measures as these. 1t
would be the gravest style Of gambling
70 sccept this proposition. II would take
an inherent right from the people. and
leave their most sacred trust to the dice
box.
If there are no legal means OF settling
this question. lei us wait until congress
sional and State seton can be had. pro-
viding Judicial remedy. But.reAlly,there
is no need of all this talk and uncertainty
Every State. except Oregon, has pre-
senied its vote in manner and form pre-
scribed by law. South Carolina, Louis
lana and Florida have returned their
votes tor Hayes; and there will be no
going behind the regular certificates
iled with The President OF the Senate
Two pretending certificates are in from
Oregon. OF course It must be determined
who are legally authorized 20 &C. Tor that
Stale. The men receiving a majority OF
votes cast, arc certainly the only author
lied electors. II the State gave over
steven hundred Republican majority for
Republican officials, there will be no
going behind that; and the Republican
electors, having a majority, will be the
only legal representatives Of that State.
Here the matter ends. Hayes and
Wheeler are elected by one vote. and al
the investigations and cheap talk in ere
alton cannot alter the result. Let US
have rest.

Mississippi Election.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The examin-
alton of Representative Lynch relative to
the conduct of the late election in Missis.
sippi, was continued by the Senate COM
mittee on privileges and elections this NOR
ming. He testified that in his opinion
there wonld have been a Republican ma
iority of 10000 votes in Mississippi at
the late election had tho election been con-
Quoted fairly. As an illustration OF the
frauds committed in the congressional dis
trict which the witness represents, he sta.
ted he was at Kingston precinct, Adams
county, from the opening Of the polls tall
> D. M, at which time over 500 Repub-
lican votes had been polled. Witness
knew this from observation and from can
wasting among the voters outside the polls
Many voters came to him and asked HIM
to examine their ballots to make sure that
they were regular Republican tickets.
He sat in the room where the ballot box
was for nearly tree hours and saw every
ballot polled, as the inspector, who took
the ballots from the hands Of the voters
opened them before putting them into the
box, and it was an easy matter to distln-
guish the Republican from the Democrat
ic tickets. He is sure there were at least
500 Republican votes cast before , o'clock
p. M, and about 50 after . o'clock, but
when the votes of Kingston precinct were
counted there were only 80 Republican
votes among them.
Witness stated he was sure that the 300
Republican ballots polled previous to 2
o'clock p. m. were removed from the bal
lot box and replaced by Democratic bal
lots. and that this was done during the
recess which the inspectors took for the
purpose of eating their dinners.

which has lust been started in New York.
The paper is rich in Information, and
those who wish to know more OF the lost

that il will exist again. Ii IS a TACT undis

are not lost, but are only hidden from the
eyes of men unworthy TO look upon them.

that TO possess them is delight, and that

wicked. Norumbega was ono of these.
