WHAT Is THOUGHT OF DENNIS TESTIMONY
THE FITz-JoHN PORTER CASE, ETC.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-That was i'm
portant evidence which L. J. Dennis gave
before the Potter committee yesterday.
He was, as is well known, an officer whose
position made him cognizant of all that
was done in the celebrated Archer precinct
in Florida. He swore that 2l9 votes were
| added to the number thrown for the Re-
publican candidate, and that the work was
done in his house and in his presence by
two Of the Republican election officers
These 2l9 votes were added because, as he
and the others belle we'd, the full number Of
Republican votes thrown did not appear in
the boxes when the count was made after
election, Yet the officers in charge of the
polls we're Republicans. These 2l9 votes to
the adding of which there can be n tclte
in law or morals saved the State to Hayes
1t is a natural sequence to this story that
Dennis and the two officers who made the
addition were Immediately appointed to
office.

The Bondholdcr,s Warning.

From the Louisville CONGRESSIONAL.
The Southern character is essential
~ conservative. The conditions of
its being are conservative. Its tradi-
tions, ideas, prejudices, personality,
ali are conservative. Not so with the
mObly elements occupying the North
and West. There is honogeneity no
where, fixed principles nowhere, but
everywhere the clashing of classes and
opinions: communal societies and
trades unions, with their Wild and
crude theories raw philosophers, with
their half-learned lesson, to read suf-
fcring, excitabie, uncomfortable hui
mainly, of all creeds and nations, to
follow. The tramp is the balance of
power. He is the devil" that the
policy of the Tribune would loosen and
let upon the national credit. Only
the Democratic party hacked by the
solid and conservative South, stands
between. Destroy that and the ma
tional debt is gone. 1t was the con-
sentative character of this great party
which secured the STAKEHOLDER his right
to his slave property under the consti-
tuition. 1t is the same conservative
character which now secures the bond
holder his property in his bonds against
the wild beatings OF tramp suffrage.
The shareholders fate is the bondhold-
er's warning.

LET US HAVE PEACE.

The people ask for bread and not a
stone, for a fish and not a serpent.
They want public peace and not gen.
eral disquietude-they want protec-
ton of their rights and not aggression
upon their Interestingly want rest,
that rest which wholesome patriotic
national Legislation will afford in foster
ing industry, and giving to labor that
reward and protection SO necessary to
the thrift and happiness of all classes.
The air is filled with the clamOr of
men who would open anew the chasm
of sectionalism and start afresh the
hates and counter hates of the civil
struggle. But they find it difficult to
arouse a general response. The country
is fast outgrowing the bitter spirit of
the late war, the people are moving
ahead to take an advanced position in
prosperity and have no heart to fellow
shin with those who would feed inter
State prejudice. They would have nc
question introduced to test the right Of
Mr.. Hayes to the Presidential chair.
A competent tribunal awarded him
that position. sanctioned by formal
Congressional action. IF fraud, error
and bargaining took place in that final
settlement, the country can better at
ford to permit the future to bring its
verdict of condemnation than to at
tempt to controvert the legality Of thai
decision. These formenters Of the
public peace merely expect TO make
capital for the next campaign. They
are nj a loss for material upon which
to build. They thus seriously imperil
the present and ultimate reassuring
prosperity of the people. Away with
such schemes and schemers. Let the

HANDS OFF.

The New York Sun has this to say
on the Electoral Commission:
The duty of all honest State Legis-
latures, whatever their party control,
is to formally and solemnly pass reso-
lutions demanding an investigation
into the iniquity of the electoral count,
whereby Hayes stole the place to
which the people had elected Samuel
j. Tilden. 1t is not a question of
partisan politics, but one of high
public morals.
The political brothers-in-law of the
San in the South say that no such in
vestigation should be entertained.
The East may desire to reopen that
angry discussion, hoping thereby to
profit by re-inauguration of bitter see-
tionalism and acrimonious partisanry
but the Southern States are content
not to gnaw on such meatless bone.
They are satisfied with Hayes in what
he has done for our people, and would
not exchange his committed practical
policy for the uncertainties of a changt
in administration. Mr. Hayes has done
as well by the South as Mr.. Tilder
could have done. Democratic princi
pies have been enforced and the
country is at rest. The South is no
disposed to be further used as a cats
paw by the North in pulling hot chest
nuts out of the fire. To overhaul th'
Electoral Count would be to give new
life to the Republican party and serve
the purpose of the hardfmoney men il
the North in diverting public attention
from the financial questions. TIL,
!Sto. says that the unwillingness o
Democratic Congressman from tn,
South to investigate the Count doe
not represent the wishes of the South
ern people, and that they would ex
pose the fraud and have Tildcn sue
coed Hayes. This is an egregious er
ror The South would have the qucs
ten rest where it is. The South i
more in need of change in nationa
finances than change in the head O
the nation. The San bowls because it

patriotic South.

ssTHE HANDWRITING ON THE
WATIO

The nomination. of Goo H. Pendle-
ton of Ohio to the United; States Sem
ate is tantamount to an elections. This
triumph of Pendleton is tile triumph
of the Greenback cause In Ohio, and
as such, a warning to the money power
of the country. The bondholder- de-
rided him as the rag baby" nurse,
hoping to hush his eloquent 'soft
money" tongue, but needing not this
opposition he moved straight ahead
determined to strike hard and persist
ent blows for the freedom and life of
our commercial and industrial inter
ests. He declared war against the
bondholders' exactions, seeing that
their ill-gotten gains had debauched
the public conscience and corrupted
the halls of State and Federal Legis-
lation. He struck for the protection
of the peoples inalienable business,
rights. He saw that the money power
each day was exhausting the resources
of the country, making few immense
ly rich and impoverishing whole sec
tons of the land. He saw that this
destruction must cease. He threw
himself into the breech to stay the
destroyer's high hand. Thus his cleo.
ton will roll ominous thunder around
the golden throne of American finan.
cial lords. Let other States follow the
example of Ohio The East must be
confronted by fearless men in the Sen,
ate Chamber. We want no weak.
kneed, time-serving, housing Senators,
but firm, eloquent champions of the
peoples rights.

WHAT THE SOUTH ASKS.

The South only asks equality and
Justice in the equalization of the boun-
ties and benefactions of the Federal
government. See the determinations
heretofore existing. Under the legis-
lation of Congress from 1889 to 1873
the South has received not co-part-
ner's share but mendicant's portion.
During that period there was appro-
priated for public works, railroads,
canals, rivers, ETC.,
In the Northern States nearly s2Os 900 900
Making excess 1879 500 600
In favor of the Northern States, which
is greatly out of proportion to the
wealth and population of the two sec
tions. NJ ,reover, there was donated
during the same period for railroad
construction in the Northcrn and
Southern States the number Of acres
of public land, the value of which is
estimated below;
Northern States I55, o0o 900 acres - sos. soo, coo
Southern States, ., O01000 aeres.....- 600, 900
Excess, I2a, eaaeOl so, 900 600
These tabular statements are but a
moiety of evidence showing the immense
gifts made by the general government
TO the North in contradistinction with
the paucity of favors given the South.
An equitable adjustment of these ap-
preparations between the two sections
would construct the Southern Pacific
railroad, the Mississippi Levees, and
every meritorious National work de-
manded by the necessities of trade and
commerce, and for the construction of
which the com bination of private cap
ital and individual enterprise are
wholly inadequate.
The facts given above are of the
greatest significance and cannot be too
strongly impressed upon the attention
of legislators and constituencies North
as well as South. Our leading states
men who so ardently desire to see a
anited and prosperous people in the
future should remember that there is &
generation in the South now nearly
ready to take the reins of the State
governments who have never known
the Federal government save as q
source of oppression. This impression
must be changed, or the future will
! produce legion of embittered enmity
toward the National authority. Give
the South just share in the emolu
ments and benefactions of the govern
ment, and she will develop material
and financial prosperity superior ever
to that enjoyed before the war.

RETMEEN EXTREMES.

1t is evident that Mr.. Hayes is be-
tween two opposing radical extremes.
On one side we see Montgomery Blair
and the New York Sun leading the
radical Democracy in assailing the
President and in devising every con-
ceivable measure TO circumvent the
administration in developing feasible
policy of national paciication and the
restoration of local home-rule through
out the States. On the other side. VIC
find Chandler and Conkiing enthusing
the radical Republican wing with their
own vindictiveness, seeking to array a
solid North against a solid South by
dragging into the political arena the
Electoral Count. Thus used as mere
target by these Two flctious elements,
the Presidents position before the
country has drawn around him con-
sentative Democrats and conservative
Republicans, who though antagonistic
in principles, yet for the good of the
country are unit in sustaining the
manly, pacific policy of Mr.. Hayes.
1t is apparent that the conservatism
of the present administration has dash,
ed the hopes of partisans, and discon.
certed their schemes. Their calcula.
tons have been destroyed and they
seek to re-adjust their plans by placing
the country where it was before the
late Presidential campaign. The pc
litical sea is too smooth for them
Angry lashings of the elements and
! fiery heat in the skies are what they
desire to see. There is too much paci
fication in Mr.. Hayes. These daring
men thrive best in the midst of gen
eral public unrest and intense sectiona
recriminations. In truth, they ar,
but traitors to the dearest interests O.
the country. They would sport Will
the liberties and rights of the people
as reckless gamesters with their shifting
winnings. To check these extrem,
men let the country give prompt NOR
al support to Mr.. Hayes in all wis,
measures.

NEYER roo LAVE no BE WISE.

Soon after the Inauguration of Pres
ident Hayes the BULLETIN was earliest
and foremost among Tennessee journals
in advocating the policy of giving
Hayes fair trial, and that as a peo-
pie we should sustain him in all meas
ures conducive of interstate fraternity
and the establishment and protec-
ton of local self-government in the
Southern States. The Memphis Ap-
peal roared and raved in opposition to
any recognition of Hayes Presidential
claims, and uncorked many walls of its
Bourbon wrath upon the head of the
BULLETIN in declining to have eliza
Pinkston" the shibbolcth Of its politi-
cal action. Since that time Southern
Democrats, rank and file, have drifted
together in supporting Mr.. Hayes in
all his efforts at reform and sectional
reconciliation. Hence the seemingly
wonderful conversion of the Appeal
No longer the prosecuting Saul of Tar
sus but a friendly supporter. We ex-
tract from its issue of Jan. IL the fol-
lowing sentiments as indicating that
the appeal has been twelve months
becoming wise. Referring to Mont
gomery Blair's bill before the Mary
land Legislature looking to Congress
sional review of the Electoral Commits
sion, it SAYS:
Nothing could DO more hostile to the
true interests of Democracy than for
Democrats TO revive in congress dis
cussion of the great fraud. Hayes has
been installed as president, and there
he will remain for three years from the
fourth of next March. AS a simple
matter of fact, the Democratic leaders
in congress, iii both houses of congress,
are chiefly and Immediately RESPONSE

fishing the electoral commission. =

of its decision, for the good faith Ofthe
