THE Cleveland Herald, which Is neither

BY Mr.. saALLEY, the prints of whose
fingers were discovered IN the Southern
dough, pending the election difficulties re-
lating to the campaign of 1876, doesn't up
prove of our suggestion to the President to
invite full investigation into tho election
through which he was declared President.
Well, we suppose that sottles it. The Pres

mandates OF 30 high and potent authority
as is combined in tho columns of an Ohio
journal Of milk and water proclivitios.
Hence tho country is to submit 10

been sounded in oonciliated, placated Mis-

in It's gsyest deckings Of paint and feathers,
in the following conservative style Of pa
triotism, progress, and reform:
1--WE arc for pitching the canvass on high
key. The Democratic nominee must follow
his opponent, be he Radical or independent, to
defeat, or the grave"
Many bloody battle has been fought
and many victory has been won under
the inspiring purpose Of achieving q tri-
umph or paying the forfeit Of the effort in
the life of the gallant warrior who i'm
pressed himself upon the fight but the po-
litcal inspiration Of Mississippi Conserv-
ative when on the war-path of political
campaign is slightly changed. He does not
propose to forfeit his own life, but to "follow
"his opponent to defeat or the grave" This
is a fearful manifesto for political cam
paign, and If it means any thing it means
Just this-any candidate who is opposed to
the Democratic nominee must be defeated,
though II be by the hand Of slaughter and
in final rest in the grave Of murder.
Does this look or sound like conciliation
and pscifcation, such as were promised by
LAMAR in return for the Presidents South
ern policy and the fruits Of Office he was
permitted to gather from Republican Ad-
ministration2 Not much 1t lifts the cur
tain upon dark and murderous pupOses that
impend over the approaching Congressional
campaign in the South. 1t is the Rebel yell Of
1878, which comes up from the echoes Of that
dark and bloody ground during the period
Of an armed rebellion. 1t is the war cry OF
intimidation under which the Democrats
hope a.ain to reap victory in field where
Republicanism would rule triumphant if ev.
cry citizen was permitted to discharge his
duties ut the ballot-box unmolested and un-
intimidated.
The election of 1876 was carried against
the majority Of the people Of Mississippi
by intimidation, cruelty, oppression, and
murder the most foul. This war cry Of the
Democracy now raised is but the warning
that if their opponents in the opening cam
paign cannot be defeated by votes, they

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Democratic party to JEFF. Davis-"Shut
up, you disgusting rebel You're making
mischief"
IT Is said that President Hayes had his be-
lief In the Bible shaken little when he was
informed that II was not written by an Ohio
burlington HaTkeye
GOVERNOR WILLIAMS, Of Indiana, now as
pires to the Presidency. Presidential aspira-
tions seem to be getting down within the reach
Of the lowest.-Deiper Tribune.
Ex.GovERNoR TOM YOUNG, Of Ohio, denies
that he ever said Mr.. Hayes has no friends in
Ohio. He says he is going to run for Congress,
and believes the Democrats cannot find q can
didato TO beat him.
The colored people of Georgia pay taxes on
$3,0OO,0OO of property. All this has been
acquired since the war by "niggers who
won't work" But we notice these taxes
helped pay Toombs his per diem, as q member
Of the constitutional convention.
The Galeaa Gll.) Gazette has many articles
going to show that Elihu b. Washburne ought
to be tue Republican candidate for President
| in 1880. We do not desire to commit our
selves at this early hour, but there are worse
men than Mr.. Washburne-and perhaps better
onos.-Bugaio Express.
No LEAGUE between Mr.. Hayes aud the men
who aided, abetted, and winksd at political
treason and villainy will ever prevail The
| next House will be Democratic, the next SEN
| ate will be Democratic and an indignant and
honest people will see that the next President
Is also Democratic c.-Cumberland Nd AHe-

we speak now not Of independent voters, or Of
citizens upon whom party obligations rest
lightly, but of mep who have been stout par
tisans heretoiore-stherc are great numbers Of
Republicans who have cast their last vote, di-
rectly or indirectly for Mr.. Roscoe Conkling.

dent Wheeler II they could by any possibility
get Hayes out of the way. The Democrats

ing to those which might come with Wheeler

SPEAKING of the creditable career of James
A. Garfield reminds US that very few men
born to fortune accomplish 30 much. 1t Is
possible that had Garfield been the son of q
rich man, and accustomed to the use of money
as a boy, he might to-day been no greater and
no better than thousands Of others, whose
fathers left them fortunes. Very few sons of
| rich men amount to much, and not because
they are not naturally bright, but because

The effort OF the Star to make the Presi-
dent appear inconsistent with himself in his
views OF the duties of Federal officials aud
the rights Of citizenship 10 matter of its
own, but we are reluctant to believe that its
statements relating to the Presidents atti-
tude toward the Republicans in this Dis
tsict who hold Office under the Administra-
tion, and their uniting their political efforts
in organic relation correctly reflect him.
We cannot conceive that he assumes to gay
70 those who hold position in the several
Departments that they are not OF liberty, If
they choose to do so, to form associations for
political cooperation, when that relation in
no degree interferes with their official du-
tss. and is perfectly consistent with all the

mendations of its proposition to oppose the
threatened Democratic reopening of the

tigntion Of the manner in which TILDEN
secured his strength in the electoral college.
An of these deplore, as we do most earnestly,
the renewal OF the discussion Of the valid

agree that II il is forced upon us we must
meet II in the interest of truth and justice

THE Democratic organ bestirs itself to
build up a good repute for the Democratic
House. This is natural; but the methods
sesorted to to accomplish this partisan re-
'sult are not honest 1t claims for it the
rpeal Of the bankrupt act, the remonetira-
lion of silver, the certainty Of resumption,
The Pacific Railroad funding bill, reduction
Of many millions in Government expenses,
che systematization Of retrenchment and the
abolition of sinecure Offices. Then it goes
On to claim what the House win do, includ-
ing revision of the tariff, revival of the
income tax, and other things Of the same
kind. Every intelligent newspaper reader
knows these claims are false, because what
ever Of merit attaches to the origin of the
measures alluded to ss enacted belongs to
the Republican senate, and that the tariff
snd income tax propositions are so iniqui-
tous that they will be defeated or properly
amended by that same Republican Senate.
