Several ex-Senators and other per-
sons whose regulations have suffered
by the alleged confession of Tweed
were before the Albany Investiga-
ton Committee on Monday last, and
denied positively that they ever saw
a cent of the 100000 that was
passed around to secure the ring
charter. Nobody can be found who
took any of the money. The checks
were produced on Hugh Hastings,
but this gentleman declares that
none of the money ever passed out
of his hands for corrupt purposes.

A new railroad movement is fore
shadowed in the Chicago Tribune,
which announces that Jay Gould
has been buying up stock and bonds
of the Michigan Central. SO that it
will form another link in his trans
continental line. The new slate pro-
vides for the retirement of Sloan
and the New York Central interest,
and the admission of Sydney Dill
lion, David Dows, w. L. Scott and
Albert Keep, of the Union Pacific
and Northwestern combination.
This move will be disastrous for the
Great Western, because Gould has
got control of the Canada Southern,
which has passed out of Wander
bits hands, and the Eastern bust
ness will be done over that line.
This will give him line from Buff
falo to Ogden. The Erie is likely
soon to come into his hands again
and the Central cannot then afford
to fight him, as they are entirely de-
pendent upon his lines.

President Hayes is gaining ground
in this city every day. Business
men f all parties are wheeling into
line in his support. while they are
divided somewhat as to the wisdom
of his southern policy they are will
ing to give it fair trial, and they
all support heartily his efforts to re-
form the civil service. He is the
first President who ever paid the
slightest attention to ante-election
promises, or who ever made posi-
tive attempt to carry out pledges
The custOm-house is being thorough
ly cleaned out. The sinecures are
being abolished, the dead-heads are
being turned out to grass, and the
force is being reduced to the exact
requirements of the business to be
done. There is bowling among the
professional politicians, but the con-
tent of the citizens is delightful.
President Hayes is very strong
among the people, and he has
strong party behind him. for the
people are convinced of his honesty.

PRESIDENT GRANT WILL Sign THE
B1LL.-The New York Tribune's Wash
ington despatch says: The President in
conversation with friend on the pro-
posed electoral compromise, said he had
not yet had time to examine the bill care
fully and critically. but on general prin-
ciples he approved of measure of the
character alluded to, and if not objection
able in detail, or if it did not contain
provisions at variance with the spirit and
letter of the constitution, he would accord
to it his prompt approval. He said that
from the beginning he had felt no appre-
tensions as to the final result, as he has
always had great faith in the intelligence
and patriotism of the American people.
There have been threatenings and in
cipient evidences of revolutionary pur-
poses in some quarters, to meet which ne
had taken proper measures of prevention,
and for which he will keep prepared un-
til his responsibility is at an end. He
said he is much encouraged by the pros
pect of q peaceful solution Of the Difficult
ties, for the two parties in Congress,
through committee, having once agreed
upon common basis of adjustment of
their differences, it will not be difficult to
bring about final settlement. He re-
marked that initial steps are always most
difficult; what follows is easy. The coun-
try, he said, is now in condition to be
gin period of unexampled prosperity,
founded on correct principles of business
and proper standards of value, and that
is all that is wanting to an amicable and
satisfactory settlement of the Presidential
question.

j. Milton Turner, a full-blooded ne
gro, who has been American Minister to
Liberia. since 1871. came to New York
city in October last. On his arrival at
Sandy Hook he telegraphed to friend to
secure him rooms ut the Astor House,
which he did in the evening. The Libe-
rian Minister went to the Astor House
and inquired whether J. Milton Turner,
Liberian Minister, had rooms there, to
which the clerk replied in the afirma-
tive, at the same time he noticed his
name on the register, when he declared
himself to be Mr.. Turner. The clerk de-
clared the hotel was full and he could
not be accommodated. He brought suit
under the civil rights act against the pro-
prietors of the hotel, and as he intended
to leave for Liberia his testimony was
taken last week. The answer is, first,
that the hotel was really full; and, sec.
ond, that the civil rights bill was uncon-
stitutioual as far as it related to hotel
keepers.

THE srRA1eHTour MOVEMENT.

The Charleston Journal Of Commerce
speaks thus complacently of its work last
summer:
"In the political campaign of last
summer, the Journal Of Commerce was
the leading organ ofsthe "straightout'
Democracy of South Carolina. Without
it's efforts, we do not hesitate to express
the belief, the canvass would not have
been inaugurated, or, if it had, would
have ended in disastrous failure. In the
columns of this paper the ''straightout'
policy took shape and direction, and its
editor bore the heat and burden of the
struggle to establish this as the policy OF
our people, with the harmony and the
courage of hope"
The Columbia Register, by reason of
its superior antiquity to the Charleston
publication feels that its pretensions are
not properly recognized in the above
paragraph and seeks to give its own view
of the situation as follows:
"With the best of feeling for the Jour-
nal, its editors, proprietors and stock
holders, we are compelled to dissent from
its expressed views. Long before the
Journal bad an existence, or was ever
dreamed of, the Columbia Register was
fighting the whole press of the State,
with two or three exceptions in strong
Democratic counties, for straightout
platform, q straightout ticket and a
straighout fight, that victory might come
to the Democracy of South Carolina, or
that they might go down in a gallant at
tempt to achieve it. X X
There is virtue in modesty, whether our
Charleston contemporary is aware of the
fact or not"
We are somewhat amused at this con-
troversy, and especially at the Registers
fling at the Journal Of Commerce about
its age. 1t strikes us that there were
papers in the State who were battling for
the "straightout" policy before the Regis
ter or Journal of Commerce were ever
published. For instance, where was the
Register on the Goth of May, 1875? Our
Columbia contemporary informs the pub
lie that it is aware that there is virtue in
modesty, and we would respectfully sug-
gest that an application of this knowl-
edge would be in order.

CRAMPS LOUISIANA POLICY.

The sudden and unexpected interfer-
ence in Louisiana by President Grant
was great surprise to the whole coun-
try, and it seems that his action was not
understood even by his party friends in
that State. Packard made haste to issue
proclamation against the Nichols gov
ernment, which was mere brutem .fulmen
unless sustained by the power of the
bayonet. Subsequent events convinced
Packard that his action was hasty and
inconsiderate, for the troops were not
placed at his disposal when he made the
demand for assistance. Grants order
was issued after the most urgent entrea-
ties from his political friends, who insis-
ted that the Packard government would
instantly disappear, unless moral strength
was gained by the interference of the
general government to preyentit. The
conduct of the Democrats in pledging
fairness, kindness and equitable treat
ment toward the colored people, and the
unanimity with which the tax-paying
element rallied to the support of the
Nichols government was denoralizing
in its effect upon the average Legislator
in the Packard House and Senate, and
only few days was lacking to complete
the abandonment OF the usurping Gov
ernor by his party associates, which
would be strong endorsement that the
Democrats fairly carried the election in
November. An abandonment of this
claim on the part of Republicans was a
virtual concession that Tilden is entitled
to the electoral vote of Louisiana, for
the difference between the State and
Electoral tickets was exceedingly small.
In order to preserve any semblance of
the claim that HAYES carried the State, it
was necessary to bolster Packard for a
short time, until the electoral count had
been decided by Congress, when Packard
will be left to take care of himself This
idea of federal interference with State
governments is fast becoming obnoxious
to leading and influential Republicans,
who believe that the woes Of their recent
political experience are attributable in a
great measure 10 such unauthorized in
tervention. In truth, President Grant
was long ago satisfied that executive in
terposition was entirely wrong and i'm.
polite, as the following extract from his
message to Congress in December, 1874,
will snow:
The whole subject of executive inter
ference with the affairs OF State is re-
pugnant to public opinion, to the feeling
of those who, from their official capacity
must be used in such interposition, and
to him or those who must direct. Unless
most clearly on the side of law, such in,
terposition is crime; with the law to
support it, it is condemned without q
hearing. l desire, therefore, that all
necessity for executive direction in Local
affairs shall become unnecessary and OBJ.
soletc. invite the attention, not only
of Congress, but of the people of the
United States, to the causes and effects
of these unhappy questions.-Presiden
Grants Message, December 1874.

ing. 1t was apparent that he had been
dead twenty-four hours, and in one hand
was grasped d revolver, while another
pistol and razor were lying beside him
on the bed. He committed suicide by
shooting undoubtedly, and it is believed
on account of dependency, caused by his
theoretical responsibility for the Ashta-
bula disaster. The family Of Mr.. Collins

The Union Herald says that usurper
has no chance without Supreme Court
of his own, and so it has for one time

The Supreme Court of South Carolina
does not belong to any one, and therefore
acts according to law. That is the reason
the pretender cannot establish his gov

The Union-Herald says that Governor
Hampton does not have to offer man a
chrome to induce him to accept Office
under his government. Of course not.
Every sensible man knows that the
Hampton government will succeed, and
then his officers are sure to continue in
their positions during his administration.
Poor Chamberlain is not so we'll of, for
the public recognize the fact that his
prospects are continually weakening, and
therefore even chrome could not induce
prudent men to incur the responsibility
of exercising an illegal Office.

The Bill for counting the Electoral
vote, which we publish elsewhere is a
compromise measure, and involves in it a
sacrifice of principle to certain extent,
as is generally the case in all political
compromises. 1t abrogates the clear in
tention of the Constitution, but is proba-
bly, the best measure that can be secured
at this excited state of the two contend
ing parties. We trust it will secure, if
passed, an honest count and declaration
of the true vote, and that Samuel ]. Til
den, the peoples choice, will be our next
President.
