Hayes's Completely.
From the Buffalo Courier. |

When an honest man and staunch
Republican like Gen. Barlow declared
that the vote of Florida belonged to Mr.
Tilden, when the Republican Supreme
Court Of that State declared the action
Of the canyassers illegal and fraudulent,
Mr. Hayes undoubtedly knew that he
was not entitled to the Presidency
That after the Presidential election he
kept track of all the events and proceed
ings as carefully as any man in the coun-
try It would be preposterous to doubt
Hayes's course after his Inauguration
adds to The proofs OF his consciousness
OF the electoral frauds II he really be-
lieved that the poor negroes in spite of
the opposition of thousands of white
assassins, had carried Louisiana for him.
be would--we credit him with manliness
and sense OF duty sufficient for that
have sacrificed his fortune and bis life
rather than surrender the State to the
men who, on the Republican theory,
were the defeated enemies of the blacks.
Yet he well knew that Nichols was as
rightfully Governor of Louisiana as he
himself had been Governor of Ohio,
and be preferred to admit indirectly. the
defect In his own title rather than follow
the nefarious precedent set by his imme-
diate predecessor For his righteous
course in this respect Mr. Hayes is en-
titled to credit. The reverse must be
said OF his rewarding with Executive
patronage all the rascals who transferred
TO him the votes which he had failed to
secure in an honest election. We do
not believe that he loved or respected
these men On the contrary, 1t is obvi
Gus that he feared them. Had they sim
ply done their duty, they would have
had no special claims upon him Bul
they had the power to disclose tbs
wrongs committed in his behalf. They
could disturb bis peace and enjoymen
Ofthe wrongly acquired honors be holds
and their silence had to be purchased.

connection with organizations which have
been the instruments in the hands of de-
signing men to cast infamy upon the
Ancient Order of Hibernians, and we fur
ther avow our firm determination to indig-
nantly spurn every and all attempts which
shall be made to cast disgrace upon our
order.

stares them in the face. Provision is made
for the reimbursement to each State by the
general government for the amount ex-
pended for the care of immigrants. If West
ern States would temporarily assume the care
of those DESTROYS to leave the Eastern cities,
and offer work at immigrant &c lots unit
other employment could be had, the
problem of relieving the distress in our
working classes would be quickly solved.
Labor by this means would become more
scattered, and would have less time to spend
in listening to TRADES against capital by
communistic agitators. The country at
large would be benefited, unsettled portions
become scenes of busy life, and the burden
of poverty be more evenly distributed.

Parceling Out the Selected Territory by
Lot.
A meeting of the Soldiers and Sailors
Homestead association was held at the old
court house last evening, for the purpose of
distributing the lands selected for the SOL
diers' colony in the Red River country. NJ.
J. O'Connor was in the chair, and stated the
object of the meeting, suggesting that some
method of distribution should be adopted.
Capt. Wood explained that it had been
agreed to make the distribution by lot.
Mr.. Wells was called upon and reported
what he had done in the selection of lands.
He had examined flfty-fve pieces, all of
which was excellent land, partly wooded, and
all save one section within three miles of the
proposed railroad station. It is located on
the St. Vincent branch of the st. Paul and
Pacific railroad in Kittson county As there
were but thirty-three members entitled to
draw, it would be necessary to throw out
some of the pieces selected Accordingly he
proceeded to select the choicest tracts
John Tuft asked few questions as to
the character of the land, and finally
concluded and announced with great
emphasis that it was gouge game and he
intended to withdraw from it. He claimed
that all the officers had selected their lands
in the southern part of the State, leaving tho
privates to take the prairies on the Red
river. He thought there was something
wrong.
Several gentlemen replied, averring that
all had equal privileges, and that there had
been no unfair dealings in any particular,
The descriptions having been prepared and
placed in hat, all those present proceeded,
amid considerable merriment to take their
chances for one of Uncle Sans farms. All
seemed satisfied with their luck save the ex-
ception already noted.

The Leviathan show.

No class of amusement is more popular
than circus. A circus pleases alike the
wise and simple, the rich, the poor, the re-
fined and the "great unwashed." There is q
charm about the ring which is irresistible.
So we presume that w. w. Coles circus,
menagerie, ETC., which is to be in this city
on the 10th, will be good news to the most
of our readers. The New Orleans Picuyune
says: "This establishment takes foremost
rank among exhibitions of it's classas well rs
for the general excellence which makes all
its departments, as for the usual extent and
brilliancy of its street display which e1cels
anything of similar kind heretofore at
tempted in this city,"

LONDON, June Lit is extremely difficult to
obtain exact information about the sinking of
the Kurfurst. The survivors were taken on
board the other iron-clads, and nobody from
either of the three vessels has landed at Folke-
stone or Dover. All the morning papers give
different estimates Of the number lost and
saved. The Telegraph reports 1876 saved out Of
crew Of 500. The confusion and conflict Of
statements yesterday 50 great that the first
boat which came ashore at Folkestone reported
that the foundered vessel was the British iron
clad Warrior. One eye witness writes that the
Grosser Kurfurst was leading the squadron and
then that the Kenig Wilhelm was leading and
struck the Kurfurst in an effort to wear ship to
avoid a merchantmen. Twenty-three of the
Kurfurst's officers were saved. The Preussen
was some distance astern at the time of the
disaster and did not come up in season to assist
in the rescue.
ANOTHER STATEMENT.
LONDON, June Ia later statement is that
out of 500 men of the Grosser Kurfurst, about
21O were saved including Is officers, among
whom was the captain previously reported lost.
