Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1877-03-10

SENATOR EDMUNDs was one of the
leading advocates Of the doctrine that
the Electoral Tribunal was empowered
to go behind the Governors certificate
and returning board decisions. He
was practicing deception from the
start. Two year ago he was as denun-
ciatory Of the returning board system
as anybody. Here is what he pro.
fessed to believe in March, 1875;
What would be thought of that
statesman or that lawyer who would
undertake to pass through Congress a
law which should declare that, instead
of the votes and returns sent by the
electors being delivered to the Presi
dent of the Senate, they should be
delivered to a returning board selected
by the President of the United States
or elected by Congress, constituted il
some way, a month in advance of the
time fixed by law for their being
counted, and that the returning board
should canvass those votes and deter.
mine which were legal and which were
not, and then, after they had reached
a result which they believed to be {
convenient one, they should turn i
over to the President of the Senate il
the presence of the two houses, who
should then, according to the return
of that returning board, find out who
is the President of the United States
Why, sir, it seems to me only neces
sary to state such proposition to show
how utterly unfounded it is.

Sir, it is your turn to-day to- morrow
may be anothers; let those laugh
most who laugh last.
No man need fear a break in the
Democratic line The South is par
ticularly unripe for plucking; neither
is it for sale. During ten years it has
piled up proof of its capacity for en-
durance. All this session it has given
hostages to fortune and-the North.
To-day it is standing by its bond, a
true exponent of fidelity and peace If
Mr.. Hayes sees fit to vary the policy
of national prescription and military
interference which has characterized
the administration of General Grant.
he will do wise thing for himself,
just thing for the South, and a good
thing for the whole country. But the
South proposes to ask nothing, to buy
nothing of him or those who shall rule
with him. The manner of his coming
in builds a wall between his admins
tration and those embracing great
majority of his fellow citizens, who
preferred another There can be no
compromise with the Republican par
ty no compromise with the historic
eight. As Mr.. Hayes may do the right,
he will receive the commentator of
good men; but this is not expected of
him, nor will it inure to the benefit of
his party or wipe out the disgrace of
his coming in. | fear that if he be
the liberal and conservative man he Is
said to be, he will not long remain so.
He belongs to party whose nature is
changeless, and it will the rather con-
troll him than he it. The Democratic
party has but to pick itself out of the
slough OF despond, look calmly at the
situation as it is, and move forward
bravely up the rocky ridge. There
may be deserter here and there. If
there is. let him go. There may be,
there will be, many a comrade who
shall never mount the hill Bury him
with the honors of war and march for
ward. For us the word should be, as
1t was given by the greatest of philos-
ophers and statesmen a hundred years
ago. Cheer US if we run, console us
if we fall but, for Gods sake, let US
pass on; let us pass on.
| hope, Mr.. Speaker, I have made
my meaning full and plain. | would

Hayes, that sovereign Commonwealth

TEMPERANCE.
A Number Of Sermons Preached Upon
that Subject.
lFrom the Nashville Banner.

lnhI 5uuJect.
From the Nashville Banner
To compliance with requests made
by committees appointed BY several
temperance organizations, the pastors
of several churches in the city deliv-
cred discourses upon that subject As
a specimen of them, we give . syn0p-
sis of the remarks Of Rev. A. j. Baird,
ID. D., pastor of the First Cumberland
Presbyterian Church
His discourse was forcible, and at
times eloquent, il being evident that
the heart OF the Doctor was in bis
subject. He began by stating that
the theme, though 40 old aud perhaps
a tiresome one, deserved the deepest
interest on account of its importance
to the spiritual aud material welfare
Of the people. He then went on 10
show that the Bible, though mention
lug drunkenness Of good TneE. In no
case approved Of IL. He expressed
the opinion that the wine made by
Christ was not Intoxicating. Taking
the ground that the use Of alcoholic
spirits was almost, if not universally,
attended by evil effects, he favored the
passage Of law TO punish persons who
either made OF imported them, with
Imprisonment for life. This view he
defended at the risk Of being called n
fanatic. If such n law wss objected
TO, because unconstitutional, it could
be answered that constitutions were
ignored upon occasions Gas in the case
Of abolishing slavery, or tt any rate,
constitutions might be changed.
He illustrated the state Of public
opinion on this subject, by citing the
case Of a member Of our Legislature
who published in explanation Of ais
having presented temperance petition
to that body, that he reserved the
right to vote against IL.
He thought that larger proportion
of young children died, than of young
animals, aad ascribed it to alcoholic
drinking. Our Legislature spent
good deal of time in securing the pro-
lection Of dogs, aud why not do some
thing to protect children. A great
deal Of feeling was shown because an
officer was killed while suppressing H.
licit distilling, while the laws Of the
country on this subject wero murder.
ing thousands every year. The stats

quors, the number Of people killed aud
disabled by their use, and the money
wasted in that direction, we're presented
with much force, and the advantage
TO the morals and finance OF the ooun-
try, of his proposed law argued with
great ability. The position was taken
that substitutes for alcohol as a medi-
cine, are known, and that the people
could better afford TO have no doctors,
and no medicine. than to have alcohol
and its direlul effects.

in conclusion eloquently depicted the
misery, degradation and death, 20 be

TIE Washington Union, the Demo
cratic organ at the Capital, edited by
Montgomery Blair, has an editorial
declaring that Tilden must be put up
as the Democratic candidate in 1880,
and closes as follows:
Let US hold to the reform issue and
to the man whose record has been SO
effective in making it. Mr.. Adams
was made President by Mr.. Clay in a
perfectly legal manner; but, in doing
so, he violated the known will of the
people. The people vindicated their
right by making Jackson, who had
been set aside by the coalition, Presi-
dent by an overwhelming majority
Now Tilden, the President elect, has
deposed by fraud which make all
concerned infamous. His name will

An application has been received at

of Syracuse. New York, and was sent
from that place in October, 1875, by

Gardner, at Detroit, Michigan Terri

The Power of the Democracy.
New York Herald

The Democratic party must not lose
sight of its great advantages in its bit
ter chagrin and Indignation at the re-
suit of the PresidensIal election. The
Democracy occupy a commanding posi-
tion ifthey are wise and skilful enough
to improve it. They may extort re-
forms as an opposition which they
would have been unable to carry as a
party in power. They can hold Mr.
Hayes to the strict letter of his
pledges, although they would have
been unable to make the same reforms
themselves. The Democratic party
can establish a solid claim to the con
idence of the country within the next
two years by forcing Mr. Hayes to
keep his pledges and giving him an
honorable support in well meant en-
deavors TO DO so. But if he yields to
evil influences, if he falters, if he jug
giles with promised reforms, their
power to demolish his administration
will be increased by a manifest dispo-
sition to give him fair play and encour-
age him to act for the public good.
