TILDEN as PRESIDENT.
The Republican Leaders Discouraged.

1t is not strange that many oftheRepub
lican leaders are growing discouraged. Al
one of them remarked the other day.
'The bottom is falling outp Logan
beaten in Illinois, and Democrat or In
dependent sent in his place; Butler whip.
ped in Massachusetts, New Jersey send
ing Democrat to the Senate; Alcorn and
Robertson from the South going over to
the other side, until it is evident that the
Senate can no longer (after this SESSION.
be relied on as Republican, unless there
is Republican President-truly the tide
is sweeping in in fearful manner, and
and threatens to overwhelm once great
party. And the worst of it is, the pros
peCtin the future is not encouraging
The South is "solid," and solid she will
doubtless remain for many years to come
She is not so open to light as the North,
for she lacks culture and breadth. and is
devoured by the passions and prejudices
engendered by the rebellion and recon-
struction. 1t will take hera quarter of a
century to forget her fancied wrongs, and
l have not the slightest hope of reform"
with her assistance. If the Democrats
give us generous administration, it will
not be because the South dictates it, but
because they fear reaction in the few
Northern States that are Democratic. The
South has had negro suffrage forced upon
it, and gains twenty votes in Congress
and in the electoral college by it, and
now, having got supreme control of those
votes she will hold on to them. And
how much chance is there for "reac-
ton" in such State as New York, with
$4,000 majority in the cities of Brooklyn
and New York; The men who make up
this majority would not lift finger to
prevent the reenactment of human sla-
very. They have no conscience, no hon
or. l allude simply to the ignorant and
vicious masses in those large cities, who
can always be trusted to vote as the par.
ty leaders desire.
Some of our party leaders here think
that if Tilden becomes our next Presi.
dent, the party that elected him will
probably continue in power for twenty
years to come, and many of the Republi-
can leaders are so detected they concede
that the prediction is not unreasonable.

By reference to Wells's letter to Sena-
tor West, in this paper, it will be seen
that mot with his consent should this
oppressed people be governed by Grants
paroled prisoners" and adds: "Unless
some counter money! movement is
made it will be impossible for me or any
other individual to arrest its productive
results. The gentleman (Maddox) pre-
senting this letter is fully aware of the
move, and if you allow, will communi-
cate freely to our friends and act prompt
ly, or results will be disastrous. "A hint
to the ViSe. Strictly private and conf
DENTAL"
This letter confirms the truth of Mad
dox's testimony as to the scheme of
Wells selling out to Tilden for million
of dollars, or to sell out for money to one
party. But it is certainly cool in Wells
saying, mot with his consent" We had
supposed it was the Peoples consent"
that these Returning Board rascals were
sworn to ascertain. The Republican
lawyers have not succeeded in breaking
down Maddox as witness. 1t is a ter
rible exposure for the radical party.

MORTON ON THE ELECTORAL
BILL.

The Chicago Tribune sums up Senator
Morton on the electoral bill as follows
"We are the Republican party; Hayes
was the Republican candidate; in the alb
sence of oflegislation the vote mt st be de.
cided by the President of the Senate;
the President of the Senate is Republi-
can, and, of course, will declare the Re-
publican candidate elected; Why should
we legislate, when without legislation we
have the whole game in our hands?"
This is accurate, for the Senator's argu-
ment on that occasion, and on all other
occasions, isjust this when boiled down,
and it is just exposition of the govern
ing principle of the men who have been
the controlling force in the Republican
party.

In 1869 the carpet-bag Legislature of
North Carolina appropriated over 800
100000 for the ostensible purpose Of
building and completing railroad lines in
that State A road to form a grand
through line from the seaboard to the
gulf was also to be completed, many mill
lion dollars worth of bonds being issued
for the purpose. Nearly all the money
was stolen, but the people, now entirely
freed of radical misrue, although having
hanging over their heads debt of near
ly $40,000,000, are determined at any
cost to push through this one important
line Of railroad, feeling well assured that
the earnings of it will repay the invest
ment. The particular line we refer to is
the Western North Carolina Railroad,
which connects not only the seaboard,
but the States of Virginia and Tennessee
directly with each other, opening up the
most fertile wilderness ofagricultural and
mining lands in North Carolina and Ten
nessee,-[Ex.

The Senate Committee on Elections
examined Clerk Littlefeld, of the Louis
lana Returning Board last week. Sena-
tor Howe cross-examined him four hours
but failed to break down his previous
testimony before the House Committee
In any particular. The Senate Commit
tee want to break the force of Maddox's
testimony by putting Wells and Ander-
son on the stand, and asking them just
questions as are needed. The House
will probably refuse to deliver them up,
on the ground that they are prisoners in

GOVERNOR Wells does not come for
ward to deny the story of Pickett and
Maddox with alacrity. He has been
sick. Anderson, however, tried to be
equal to the occasion, and explained
with much fervor his ignorance of any
crookedness on the part of Wells and his
enterprising ambassadors. He had new
er heard anything about a million dollars
or even about two hundred thousand ly-
ing around loose He had been approach
ed, but not by Maddox and Pickett, and
the man who came mentioned no figures.
He Indignantly repealed the attack upon
his virtue, and agreed to meet the man
at the hotel the next evening. All this
showed bis indignation.

ed Theodore R. Wetmore, Vice Presi-

Allen speaks in harsh terms of his late

fdence in them. The parties appeared
at the District Attorneys Office and gave
bail in the sum of $4,000.

That thnnderbolt from Louisiana is a
terrible blow to Republican hopes. Lit
tlafeld's exposure of the alteration in
the vote of Vernon parish, from Tilden
to Hayes was crushing in itself; but fol-
lowed by Maddoxs revelation, whose
testimony is sustained by the letters in
Wells's own handwriting, the whole is
perfectly overwhelming The radical
leaders, however, are trying to bulldoze
the thing through. Cheek, effroutery, is
a chief element in their various qualities.
