They FEAR INvEsTIGATIoN.-The
reform movement inauguratcd by the
Democrats in the last Congress, makes
it necessary to probe still farther after
the frauds visible wherever a door
opens into department Of the Federal
Government To this every Radical
Congressman is opposed. The efforts
in the House to take an inside view OF
public affairs, is sternly opposed by
those who are aware of the crooked
work behind the scenes. But other
and higher purposes are to be subserv.
ed by such an inquiry. God and the
people hate towards and knaves, and
they must be dragged to the surface
before justice and integrity can be sub.
stituted. More Data for proper re.
ductions in appropriations are to be
sought, useless officers are to be abol.
ished and supernumerarics on the pay
rolls of the various departments are to
be dispensed with, and the leaks of
various kinds through which the pub.
lie money is filtered into wasteful chan.
nels, must be stopped. In order that
Congress may act intelligently in ap.
preaching these reforms, the proposed
investigation is proper and necessary.
Yet every Radical opposes the invesli.
cation. Why should an honest man
fear to have his account overhauled.

SECTIONAL HATE.


The New York Tribune, last week,
gave Mr.. Hayes black eye and strikes
out boldly to revive sectional hatred
TO the utmost Of its ability. For ex.
ample:
"why is the South solid Because the South
Ia hungry. But why is Il solidly Democratic
Borause II can use the Democratic party as II.
feedirough Democratic victory mean. the feed.
ing Of hfieen very hungry s'ales At the expense
Of tho rest. Derocratie South
makes absolutely necessary = Republican North
The blame Of .ectiOna ism resis with those who in
sist upon solid South. AZ long as rho men Of
that section make demands upon the public Treas
ury which threaten bankruptcy, as long as they
assail the credit Of the nation by their votes, 20
long there must be a solid North"
First, the South was made solid by
a combination for selfprotection. That
section was overrun by a band Of poll
tical freehooters aud brigands, who
pillaged that section for twelve years
and the property owners organized and
have locked large number in the
penitentiaries and the rest have taken
fight up North, just as so many wild
geese in Spring time. Notwithstand,
ing this acquisition of voters, the North
Is becoming as nearly "soIid" rs tn,
South.
Secondly, if tho North becomes solid
ly Radical, IL can only be done by res
toring good government and prosperi
ty, and by placing honest men in Office
and in this way initiate the South. II
this is done, we shall not object. 9TH,
blame of sectionalsm rests with those
who insist upon solid South" Foi
brazcn impudcnce this exceeds any
thing we have ever seen in print. Be
cause tho Sontheru people insist OF
good government and prefer gentle
men TO thieves and robbers Tor officer
and rulers, they must be menacod ant
annoyed. That is all this bloody
shirt organ means.

MAxlMs FOR THE DAY.


No man worthy the office Of President should
be willing to hold II II counted In, or placed there
by auy fraud. U. 5. GRANT.
I could never have been reoonced TO the ele-
vatiou BY the smallest aid Of mine Of person,
however respectable In private life, who must
forever carry upon his brow the stamp OF fraud
frat triumphant in American history. No sub
sequont action, however meritorious, can wash
away the letters Of that record.
CHARLES FRAScis ADAMS.
Under the forms Of law, Rutherford b. Hayes
has been declared President Of the United States,
His title rests upon Acknowledgement Of lawful
voters the false certificates Of the returning OH
GERS acting corruptly, and the decision Of a COM
mission which has refused to hear evidence OF al
legged fraud. For the FIRST time are the American
people confronted with the fact of fraudnlcntly-
elected President. Lot II not be understood that
tho fraud will be silently acquiesced In by the
country. Lot no hour pass in which The usurpa-
tion Is forgotten.

WE PROTEST.

We ieel offended at the conduct Of
our Democratic Congressman. A few
days previous to the adjournment in
December, Representative Wood intro.
duccd resolution in tho House, look.
ing TO an investigation Of the frauds in
the several Departments Of the Govern.
ment. II was well known that every
Radical member would oppose the res.
olution because Of the fatal effect pro.
duced during the last Congress, when
the War Department frauds were
brought to light through Mr.. Clymcr's
committce, and Secretary Bclknap was
driven out and disgraced. Our Radi.
cal friends want no more frauds un-
covered, If they can prevent IT, But
we are DEPRESSING When Mr.. Wood
called up his resolution, it was discov.
orcd that many Democratic members
had scampcrcd off homo and lett the
vote so close that he had TO let il 20
over until the reassembling Of Congress,
on the 10Th, instant. Consequently,
this resolution was the first business in
order after quorum Of the members
was present on the 10th. 1t Is morti-
tying for us to record the fact, but we
want the public to know it, that out of
the 1853 Democrats elected to Congress,
only 80 answered to their names, and
out Of the l40 Radicals l0l answered,
giving them majority Of tlco, in a
Heuse where the Democratic majority
should have been thirteen. Tho resolu.
ton indicated was saved only through
the strategy of Mr.. Wood, by bringing
about an adjournment OF the House,
until the next day, so az to allow the
struggling Democrats to get into the
Chamber This failure OF the Demo
cratic members to be present on the
occasion indicated is nearly as gross an
outrage as stealing President. We
want no more of such conduct. II
some of our Democratic members have
too much private business on hands to
attend to their public duties, let them
resign and stay at homo, rather than
to offend their constituents in this dir.
ty manner.

How They GOT THEIR FARNs.-The
Ottawa (lll) Tines says: "Some time
ago the citizens Of Mendoza were sur.
prised to learn that married couple
who had apparently lived in peace and
harmony in Illinois, had been divorced
in Kansas. The mystery is now ex.
planned. The husband had a homestead
Of l60 acres Of fine farming land, and
there was another l60 acres adjoining
not yet taken up. The pair were di.
vorced, the widow entered the vacant
quarter section, and established her
claim as the head OF family. When
this was done the pair were remarked,
and now have fine farm of half a sec.

BLOODY SHIRT YELLs.-The editor
Of those Radical organs who have sus.
tained the carpetbag thieves in all their
plunderings down in the South, obsorv.
ing that their confedcrstcs in crime

IMPEAcn HIM.-Such is the demand
made by some since Chandler has
turned States evidence. 1t might be
easy enough TO draw up articles of i'm
parchment against Hayes on the ac-
cusation Of Chandler, il only Tor the
amusement OF the thing. But it would
be much more satisfactory to punish
the rascals who stole the electoral votes
of Louisiana and Florida. AS long as
Wells and Chandler enjoy immunity
from punishment the title Of liayes
will not be disturbed All know that
Hayes is in possession of the stolen
goods, but he did not steal them Sher
man, Chandler & Co, did that part oil
the job, and until they are indicted
we say let Hayes alone If he commit,
no further crime.
