The late investigation into the frauds
by which X. b. Hayes was lnauguratcd
President has resulted in simply show
ing the frauds, but it will not result in
the displacement Of Hayes as we
thought it would and as we SO stated
in the Home journal several weeks
since. The investigation has shown
what most of US kncw-that Hayes did
not receive u majority Of the votes cast
in Louisiana or Florida, and his tile
is therefore false, fraudulent, and
forged from the beginning, and it he
had a spark Of political pride about
him he would at once resign, Oh. abdi
cate his throne. This he will not do,
hecausc he has not the moral courage
TO do right, and because he ia sustained
by Southern Democrats OF prominence
men who sold the Presidency to Il
"smiling hypocrite" like Hayes, in or
der to have local self government in
one or two States in the South, and
make Hampton and Nichols Govern
ors. But the day Of retribution will
come, and such men as the aforesaid,
and John Sherman, Stanley Matthews,
Noycs, and all who were mixed up in
the Louisiana and Florida slush, will
be condemned and forgotten, And
Alexander II, Stephens, who rpholds
fraud, and ID, NJ. Key, who does the

The Elective Franchise,

consideration from colorcd voters, aud it

of suffrage:
"WAsHINaroN, October 30.--Pubicity
has already beon given to tho suggestion
that some day in the not remote future the

that tho renl object of tho party 10
comforting negro suffrage was to strengthen
aud pcrpctuatc its hold upon the govern

wofully disappointed. The practical result
of their efforts has beon to give to their
opponents thirty five additional votes in
tho electoral colleges and in tho House Of
Representatives. The deliberate manufao-
turo of Wholesale oalumnics upon the South
in this and in former oampagns cannot make
solid North, although it has been carried
on in that hope. The next movc, thorc-
fore, of tho discounted Republicans will be
