THE GREAT JUGGLE.

When the toss up juggle was enacted
mostly by Democratic votes, we said that
it would increase the excitement and
trouble. We were correct. We believe
that what friend remarked to us soon
after the Presidential election was true.
He said, in speaking of the Democrats;
These fellows will have to smell powder
again before they will behave them
selves"
The Cincinnati Gazette of Monday, in
a double loaded editorial, says: d.
The filibusters were defeated in the
House on Saturday by large majority,
and Oregon was counted by the joint
convention for. Hayes and Wheeler; but
the end is not yet. When Pennsylvania
was reached an objection was made TO
one elector on the ground Of ineligibility.
The object of this was, of course, delay.
Upon separating the House took a recess
until this morning at 10 o'clock. A de
bate of two hours on the Pennsylvania
question is allowed. If this should go on
the Joint convention will reassemble
about / o'clock, when the vote of that
State will be counted for Hayes and
wheeler. There will still remain to be
counted Rhode Island, South Carolina.
Tennessee, Texas, Vermont Virginia,
West Virginia and Wisconsin. There
are two sets OF returns from South Caro-
lima. There is nothing whatever in the

from Gramercy Park and is certified by

signed it, but no messenger could be
found to carry it to Washington, there

one in Washington, who delivered it to
the President Of the Senate. Since that
time Saylor's Committee investigated the
conduct of the South Carolina election
and reported that the Hayes electors
were duly chosen 1t is not probable the
question will be seriously argued before
the commission, and it may, therefore, be
of in single day, The filibus-
tiers also propose to object to electoral
votes in Vermont and Wisconsin, and
they may also object to West Virginia,
although that is a Democratic State. The
object, and the only object, is delay. Ev-

The following is the platform adopted
by the Prohibition State Convention at
Columbus last week. 1t is good thing,
but we believe there is better platform
to be found in the fifth and sixth chap
ters of Matthew. 1t was promulgated
nearly two thousand years ago, and yet
wicked men and seducers wax worse and
worse:
l. The protection of life. property and
home by the legal prohibition of the
liquor traffic of the State, is the most i'm
portant duty of the law making power.
2. That no government should contre-
vene the purpose of its formation, by TAX
ing into public service those who are con-
nected with the liquor traffic, or addicted
to the dangerous vice Of drinking
That since the work of legislation is
political and all other parties fail to adYo-
cate or promise prohibitory action, q
special prohibition party is demanded.
f. That the right Of suffrage rests on
no mere circumstance of color, race, for
mer social condition, sex, or nationality
| but inheres in the nature of man, and
when from any cause it has been with
held from citizens OF our country who
/ are VI ehlLdOAc aye duh ncuhdliy anu
morally qualified for the discharge of iti
duties, it should be speedily restored by
the people in their sovereign capacity.
5. Since virtue, education and intelli
gence are necessary to the well being oi
Republican institutions, we would foster
the free school system, denying to all re
ligious sects and other associations con
troll or management of the funds for its
maintenance, and enforcing by proper
legislation the education OF all the chill
dren of the State.
| 6. We favor the free use of the Bible
not as a ground of religious creeds, but
as text book of the purest morality
the best liberty, and the noblest litera
ture in our public schools. that our chill
dren may grow up in its light, and that it,
spirit and principles may pervade ouI
nation.
7. The Christion Sabbath, moreover
was ordained for the good of man, and
Christians in Christian country should
not be deprived Of its peaceful enjoyment
by the carousals of liquor drinking and
liquor selling transgressors.

Congressional orators wax fervid over the
wrongs and subjugation of the people OF
these States. But who are the people,
for instance, Of Louisiana, by the census
of 1870, there were 362, 900 whites and
364 600 blacks. Seeking the equities Of
the case, is there any question that the
two together compose the people, and
that their will can not be known if there
be any hinderance to its full expression
at the D ls2
Plain people who are really anxious to
know the truth have only to ask them
selves this question If in their own
State certain counties were largely peo-
pied by those who had been always an
enslayed and abject race, who had no ira
dition but that Of absolute servility to q
certain class Of their neighbors. who had
been always bought an&old like cattle,
with no rights that their neighbors re
spected, who were. in consequence, al
most barbarized and were in great part
thriitless, ignorant, and almost helpless,
yet who had suddenly been made equal
citizens and voters; and it, for months
before an important election, those coun-
/ ties so inhabited were secured night and
day by armed and often masked bands OF
the old master class, each band seeming
a hundred to the terrified imagination Of
the subject class, and il they knew the
purpose Of this terror, and feared MAIN
ing and murder for themselves and insult
and injury for their families il they voted;
and il, when the vote was counted, IL ap-
peared that in those counties few or
none of this class had voted-would
plain people, seeking the equities OF the
case, say that the face OF the returns
showed the will of the people Of those
counties7 Would they not say that a
candidate elected by returns from those
couD' IS was elected by murder and yio-
lence2
In the Louisiana matter the equities
Of the case are not upon the Democratic
side. The Democrats ought to confess
frankly that they have attempted forci
BILE revolution in that State, and plead
that Republican misrule was intolerable
and justified it. They cannot carry water
upon both shoulders. They cannot carry
elections by intimidation, and insist that
they are representatives Of law and or
der, of home rule and the will OF the
people To say this is not to excuse oi
defend Republican misrule. The great
result of the long and searching investi
CATION will be unquestionably a wiser ma
tional policy in that part of the country
and if the people of the United States
soberly think it best that the charges o
violence and fraud in a State election fol
President shall be Investigated and cor
sected by Congress, they will embodJ
their will in a constitutional amendment
Such inquiries and corrections may b'
more safely left, in our judgment, to the
States themselves.

THE COUNT.

On Friday last the Oregon case was de-
cided in favor Of Hayes. Then Penn
sylvania was called, and the Democrats
objected to one elector in that State. A
recess was taken until Monday On
Monday Pennsylvania was counted for
Hayes, and when Rhode Island was
called the rebels again objected. That is
the latest we have up to the time Of 60.
ing to press.
We believe the Democrats will stave
off action all this week. 1t is said that
on Saturday, if the count is not COM
pleted, Mr.. Ferry, President of the Sem
ate, will complete the count, as he is ex-
pressly ordered to do, by the Constitu-
tion.
We are firmly convinced that the Dem.
ocrats will have again to be conquered
with lead and steel. 1t might just as
we'll be done one time as another. They
have lost everything like honor. We
hear OF honor among thieves and gam
blers. They proposed to settle the Pres
idential question by a game of chance
They were beaten, and now they
"squeal" If they are resolved to rush
the country into another war, they will
be apt to get pretty fair count before
they are through with it.

The Hardin County Democrat, pub
lished at Kenton, Ohio, gives an account
OF another drunkard who was called

jury wound up their verdict as follows:
After learning the evidence and exam

he was caused to attempt to cross the p

The Equities of the Case.

There are a large class of persons who
insist that in the Presidential dispute
they want only "the equities Of the case"
What are the equities of the case What
are they in louisiana Equity requires
that the will of the people of that State
in regard to the two Presidential candi-
dates shall be ascertained. Equity does
not require that the face of the returns
shall be accepted as conclusive because
they may have been determined by vio-
lence or fraud. Nobody, we presume,
pretends that there was fair election in
Louisiana. Nobody who has carefully
followed the course of investigation and
testimony will deny that the proof Of
violence is much more conclusive than
that Of fraud. The fraud of the Return
ing Board has been assumed because OF
previous bad character. None has been
clearly established. The stories of Mad
dox, Pickett, Littlefeld, and the French
waiter are probably not believed by any
but the EXTREMIST partisans. The action
of the Board was, indeed, open to sus-
picion from its failure to appoint the
fifth member, from previous conduct,
and from the result OF the canvassing
But, on the other hand, if the Board be
open to the suspicion of fraud, the face
of the returns is proved to be due to vio-
lence and intimidation. Those who seek
the equities Of the case, therefore, can
not insist that the face of the returns
should govern, unless they eoncede that
a result procured by force IS equitable
Mr.. Carpenter said that he appeared
for the disfranchised people Of Louisiana.
Who are they? In the parish of East
Feliciana there were 2l27 black voters
registered, and there was Republican
vote Of 1858 in 1874 The parish was
secured and harried by rough Democrat
ic riders before the election. There were
whippings. torments, terrors-plainly for
political purposes. On election day there
were not three Republican votes polled.
Who were the disfranchised people in
that parish2 Did Mr.. Carpenter speak
for them, or for the bulldozers who dis
franchised them2 The right of home
rule, the majesty of the will of the peo-
pie, are loudly asserted If we seek the
equities, who has interfered with home
rule, and violated the will of the people? |
1t is not now a question whether the en- |
franchisement of the colored race was |
wise or unwise, nor whether govern |
ment controlled by them is good or 1
bad government They are equal citizens. /
They are voters under the Constitution
of the State. If they are in any way ter
rorized and prevented from voting, the
votes that are cast do not represent home
rule nor the will of the people. They
represnnt merely an oligarchy which, by
whatever means, has substituted his own
will for that of the people. There is
much said of the Southern people, and

Mr. Tilden sends little communica-
tion to Senator Herman protesting

lection in the examination of his bank
accounts. He seems anxious to be in
vestigated.-lCincinnati Enquirer.
Mr.. Tilden was very careful not to ex-
press any willingness to be Investigated
until after it had been decided and
agreed between the parties, to stop fur
ther investigation. He kne W for many
weeks that he was accu sed, on reliable
testimony, of having furnished money to
be applied in a rascally manner; yet he
did not demand an investigation, and
did not express any willingness to have
his bank accounts examined. His letter
comes too late What the Cincinnati
Enquirer said about him on the 5th of
June last, is evidently true. He is q
great rascal.

We fear that Bro David Fisher, of the
Hardin County Democrat, is losing con-
fidence as it were. Speaking of Davy
Davis, he says:
No one doubts that the big Judge
has got more money than Logan, al
though the latter is not the most scru-
pulous financier in the world. That be
has as much brains as Lyman Trumbull
nobody thinks, though he has a good
deal more CUTS. Davis is bigger. if not
a better man than Mike McCoole, but
before we take much stock in him we
would like to be sure that we are not the
victims of misplaced confidence. The

man of his antecedents on trust In the
lottery at Springfield we may have drawn
out an elephant, but it looks very like a
whale"

Our Mr.. Vance has been making him
self very ridiculous in Congress lately.
He has been chief among the illibusters,
whooping and snorting and cavorting
around like an excited jackass. The
National Republican, speaking about one
of his performances, says:
Finally, Mr.. Vance, Of Ohio, rose and
renewed the defeated resolution of the
ambitious Cochrane, which was offered
last Saturday night: He pleaded for fill
clustering, and in fact for anything to
beat the day. But he was compelled by
a majority vote to sit down and hush his
suicidal nonsense.
Vance is. not really bad man; the
trouble with him is, he never had much
sense. He is a very weak brother.

Gratis on Saturday, in defeating the fill
busters, encourages the hope that the
latter will be finally repulsed to-day or
tomorrow. Still it is plainly within the
power of the Democrats of the House to
delay action, and thus prevent the com
pletion of the count, under the provis-
ions of the electoral bill, before the 4th
of March. This would be overwhelming
ly denounced by the country; but the FL
ibusters do not listen TO the voice of the
people at this time. They are reckless
and desperate. Most of them-of the
leaders-were defeated last fall or were
not renominated; and they have nothing
to hope for except through Tilden. They
are ready, therefor, to repudiate the cleo
toral bill and to plunge the country into
a disturbance that would destroy busi-
ness for another year, for the chance that
new election, or anarchy, would afford.
The Republicans are, of course. pre-
pared for any emergency that may arise
and will be ready to act if the count shall
not be completed in time. In any event
Tilden's election is out Of the question,
and it only remains to be determined
whether the country will have Hayes for
President or no President. We presume,
if the filibustering shall succeed in kill
ing all the time that remains, Mr.. Ferry
will complete the count and declare
Hayes elected. This, under the circum-
stances, would be the true policy and
would be sustained by the country.
