Fair Warming from an Independent Pa.
New York Herald.


We give notice to the South Carolina
Democrats that stories are floating this
way, of revival, by them, of attempts
to bully, browbeat and injure their Re-
publican opponents. They are said to
be making it hot for their Republican
speakers. If these reports are false it
would be well to have them immediate
ly and authoritatively contradicted. If
they are true then we advise Governor
Hampton and such other sensible Dem
ocrats as he may be able to gather
about him to put a stop to such lawless
and outrageous acts. This country is
very well satisfied with the Presidents
Southern policy, but it will not stand
any more shotgun" electioneering.
The Southern Republicans have pre-
cisely the same right to assemble, to
speak in public. to nominate candidates,
to try to elect them and to vote when
election day comes, as the Southern
Democrats; and if any attempt is made,
in South Carolina or elsewhere, to inter-
fere by force or threats or brutal bull
lying, with the free and full exercise of
these rights, the Southern Democrats
will discover that the North knows how
to resent, and how to punish such
wrongs, for which, whatever may have
been the case under the old Southern
policy, there is now not an atom of ex-
cuse. 1t will not need federal interfer-
ence to punish such misconduct, be-
cause it will receive it's reward at the
polls in November. Whatever the
shotgun policy may effect in South
Carolina it makes Republican votes
very rapidly in all the Northern States.

The Greenback Collapse

The Western Nationals were, after
all, playing what they would call a
bluff game" and scared the weak
kneed Democrats on very thin
hand" A comparison of their positive
published claims" before the election
and the net result makes their move
ment ridiculous. The National Green
back organs claimed 100000 votes, in
Indiana and three Congressman. They
cast in the State, when they are strong
est, only 10000 votes, and with the help
OF the Democrats, not by their own
votes, elected one Congressman. They
claimed 100000 votes in Ohio and three
Congressman, and they cast, as nearly
as we can tell from imperfect returns,
less than 10000 votes and elected no
Congressman. They claimed a Con-
gresham in West Virginia, but elected
none. Having made combination
with the Democrats in Iowa, they
claimed four Congressman, but, with
the help of Democratic votes, managed
to elect only two, and it is clear that if
they had stood alone they would have
got none. That is to say, they had not
in Ohio and Indiana, the two States
where they have the greatest strength,
third of the vote they claimed, and if
it had not been for Democratic help
they would not have elected a single
Congressman anywhere. It's absurd for
them to talk any longer Of a great pop
ular movement The tide is setting
fast against them, and they have made
their largest showing and that amounts
to just three Democratic Representa-
tives elected by the assistance of Green
back votes. That is all, and it is a pref
ty poor second fiddle.

A Greenbacker's Degradation.
From the Ottumwa Courier.

In Mahaska county, man who has
been heretofore well known in educa-
tional circles, and who styles himself
Prof. E. Jones" was nominated by the
Democrats and Greenbackers for Clerk
of the Courts. The night before the
election he made speech at the court
room in which he said;
THE Republican party has been in power
so long and made times so hard that our wO-
men will be compelled to sell their virtue.
repeat it, our lDiUes and daughters are SO reduc-
ed in circumstances (meaning financially that
they will be compelled to sell their virtue to
sustain themselves and Children
This so disguised all decent people
in Oskaloosa that Mr. Baker was buried
under 300 majority, and is very proper
ly the object of scorn and detestation
by all decent men wherever he is
known. Had there been time to let the
people of the country know what he
had said he would have been sat down
on by thousand majority. This Baker
was Knight of the Golden Circle and a
rampant Copperhead during the war
and is fair sample of many Greenback
leaders and teachers.

In the general upheaval at the election polls
this year, Hon. B. Powers was defeated for
Prosecuting Attorney in the Dubuque district
by H. B. Fouke. Mr.. Powers has held the of.
flee eight years. and made an extraordinary eff.
fclent public prosecutor. Just how he was
defeated is not clear, for Judge Bagg, who run
on the same ticket is elected by good fair
majority. The result is surprise to most of
people outside of the district.-MasOn City Re
publican.
The explanation of Mr.. Powers de-
feat is not difficult. These qualities are
generally accorded to him by men of all
parties, viz: Character above reproach,
conscientiousness, fearlessness and ut
ter unselfishness in the performance of
duty, absolute incorruptability, unfag-
ging industry, tastes and associations on
the side of public morals, an unblem-
ished record and correct habits. A
large majority of the people of Dubu-
que county, if they do not regard these
qualities as disqualifcations, still think
them of slight moment, beside the abil-
ity to be one of the boys" and so they
defeated Mr.. Powers.

The South Carolina Democracy.

The reports that come from Demo-
cratic sources in South Carolina, of the
methods being employed by that party
to carry the State in the coming cleo
ton, are not encouraging for that era of
justice, and the recognition of equal
rights, which it was hoped would result
from the abandonment of the abortive
bayonet policy. The Democrats of
South Carolina evidently intend to car
ny the election at all hazards, and to
crush out the Republican majority by
the old appliances, the shotgun and the
torch. Reports come through the
Charleston papers of recent attempt
by the Republicans to hold a meeting
at Sumpter, and Of the manner in which
it was overawed and dispersed by band
OF Democratic ruffians of superior num-
bers, armed and equipped for blood
shed, which they were with difficulty
restrained from inaugurating then and
there. A Republican named Coghlan, an
old man of 80 years, at this meeting,
mounted the stand and defied the armed
Democrats, telling them that he would
not submit to their dictation. What
followed is thus described by a CORES
pendent Of the Charleston Neus and
Courier, Hampton's organ: SIN less
time than it has taken to read this line,
fully five hundred rifles and pistols were
directed upward at him, or at the crowd
of negroes in his vicinity. A bag of
tenpenny nails was rammed hastily into
the mouth Of the cannon, which was
quickly turned and primed, and in an
other breath the long fight
would have begun"
Accounts of this kind, coming from
Democratic sources, cannot be charged
with exaggeration, and they plainly
indicate that the Democracy. of South
Carolina, having no hope of success in a
fair contest, intend to win it by mob Vi
olence, murder and intimidation. This
seems to be the exact state of things in
that State, and it demands the attention
of the whole country. 1t is not proba
BILE that the Intervention Of the military
arm of the government would improve
the situation, and therefore, so far as
that is concerned, the President is not
called upon to modify his policy, but
remedy can be found for this barbarism
by keeping from control Of the govern
ment the party in whose name it is per-
petrated. A solid South, on basis of
violence and bloodshed, should be met
by solid North on a platform of JUS
tice and equal rights. The Democratic
party cannot be relied upon in any con-
tingency where these issues are in the
balance, and the only way to curb the
turbulent Democracy Of the South is to
deprive them of the support of their
mercenary and subservient brethren of
the North.

The Stupid Southern Democracy.
New York Times,


Whether they intended to or not, the
South Carolina Democrats who have
sworn to carry every county in the State,
regardless Of means or consequences are
playing into the hands Of Northern men
who wall because sectionalism has been
eliminated from the councils and plat
forms of the Republican party Events
have facilitated the dropping of the
Southern question out of Northern pol
itics, and it is rarely heard of now, ex-
cept in the mouth of third-rate takers.
If it be revived, the responsibility of its
revival will attach to Wade Hampton $
followers in South Carolina, and to
their imitators in out-of-thc-way parts
Of Louisiana. The red shirt, which
symbolizes Democratic lawlessness, is
the only thing that can provoke the
bringing out Of the bloody shirt from
the dusty shelf on which it has been
placed. The extremists of one section
have before now furnished capital to
the extremists of another section. 1t
is for the South to take care that the
experience be not repeated. The North
wants no more sectional warfare, even
in politics.

The Mystery Unraveled.

1t has always been mystery why
the Democrats, after manifesting So
much anxiety to get possession of the
electoral telegraphic correspondence
after dragging the late Hon. William
Orion, president Of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, before the bar of
the House ostensibly for that purpose,
and after the executive committee of
the company had concluded to surren-
der the dispatches, suddenly dropped
them as though they were singing
reptiles.
About the end of. December or be-
ginning of January, 1877" SAYS Mr..
Hewitt, when William Orton, then
president of the Western Union Tele
graph Company, was charged with con-
tempt for refusing to produce dispatch
es relating to the canvass of the vote
in the Southern States, he came to nv
house and dined with me. The object
OF his visit was to persuade me that it
would be wise for the DEMOCRATS not to
compel him to deliver up the dispatch
es, and he assured me that they would
lead to revelations of facts unknown to
myself and other Democrats, which
would be very damaging to the Demo
cratic party. | told him l had no
knowledge of such dispatches and was
surprised to find him so solicitous for
the welfare of the Democratic party.
What would you say he answered. if
| should show you one of those dis
patches that have in my pocket
book? : The dispatch he read
to me had reference to to the negotia-
tons for the Democratic purchase of an
electoral vote in South Carolina.
Mr.. Orion explained how it came into
his possession. One evening, shortly
before midnight, prominent Democrat
ic politician received cipher dispatch,
from South Carolina, at the telegraph
Office in the Fifth Avenue Hotel. lie
sat down at one of the tables, pulled
out his key, and made translation of
the cipher A few minutes after mid
night, as the office was being closed, he
hastily gathered up few papers on the
table and went out. His translation of
the cipher happened to drop on the
floor. The operator picked it up and
Immediately started for Mr. Orton's
house with the cipher dispatch and
the translation, and rung up the presi-
dent of the Western Union. Mr.. Orion
took the papers and, told the operator
to 60 home and never open his lips to
a single human being in reference to
the incident. He said my eyes were
the first to see the dispatch after it
came into his possession"
Will the people of the country look
at this most extraordinary testimony
from this eminent Democrat, and who
was at the time the chairman of the
Democratic National Committee. 1t is
no wonder now that the Democrats
dropped the investigation Of kilograms
SO suddenly. The mystery is explained
The most infamous fraud that any set
of men ever perpetrated or ever at
tempted to perpetrate has been I'M
earthed by the New York Tribune.

TON MEDARY, of the Lansing Jour-
nal, one of the brightest Democratic
papers in the District, opens up, last
week, in his Enthusiastically vigorous
and racy style, upon the scheming and
corrupt leaders of the Democracy in
Dubuque, who. as he asserts, put Fred
O'Donnell in the field for Congress only
to sacrifice and shelve him, so that he
may not stand in the way, two years
hence, of a certain pet whom clique
of Dubuque politicians expect to bring
forward at that time" He intimates
pretty plainly that H. B. Fouke is the
pet" alluded to, and finishes his red
hot article with the following covert
threat of insubordination to the Du-
buque Democratic ring:
And it remains to be seen. when two years
come around, whether the Democracy of the
Third District, outside of Dubuque, will have a
candidate thrust upon them who was put in
training by those who allowed Freds defeat,
whether he be II. B. Fouke, or some other Du-
buQue man.

THE New York Iribme's startling
exposure of Democratic rascality in
Florida and South Carolina, through
the production and translation of the
cipher kilograms, has compelled Mr..
Tilden to come forward with a public
denial of any knowledge or completely
on his part in the corrupt work they re-
veal. But Mr. Tilden's letter is far
from satisfactory, even to his political
friends. The New York World says of
it:
1T must be said of Mr. Tilden's let
ter concerning the cipher kilograms Of
which we have heard so much recently,
that it is too long for denial and too
short for an explanation. Nor is this
all. 1t denies only what needed no de-
NAL, and explains only what needed no
explanation. X
democrats who labored for the cleo
ton of Mr. Tilden, and who regarded
him as pledged to the great work Of
thoroughly reforming our National
Government, will be startled by the
tone IN which he now speaks of tran
sactions which he evidently regards as
discreditable, and at variance with his
own fixed purpose never to surrender
or compromise the advantages of a per-
feet independence by degrading compe-
tition for Returning Board certificates
Is it possible that any of those who sur
rounded Mr.. Tilden, and were in famil
lar intercourse with him during the
Presidential canvass, can have sought
to make him deviate by word or act,
from that fixed purpose? If this was
not the case, what is the significance of
this strong and peculiar phraseology?
If this was the case, what are we to
think of great political leader who
could even be approached in such way
by those whom he had honored with his
confidence and selected as his agents?"
The Washington Sunday Herald,
paper strongly supported by the Demo
Gratis in Congress, has this to say of the
cipher dispatches and Mr.. Tilden's con-
nection Herewith:
"The wires and shabby strings of the
Tilden complot, are laid so bare that no
one can pretend not to see them. 1t is
immaterial, in political point of view,
whether the authorship of the tele-
grams, which Tilden repudiates with
such lack of Indignation. is brought
home any closer to him or not. His
senile cunning in having them sent by
others is of no avail, since the others in
question were his bosom friends, conf
dants, and necessary agents. 1t is not
pleasant to think that the Presidency
Of this Republic was, during some time,
up for sale at auction and begging a
purchaser, and that the defeated bidder
simply became so through chronic ina
bility to act with decision"
