The Tramp of the Army.

We are told, and by such authority
as to render it fully creditable, that
certain Districts in the South. are to
be selected for the tramp of the SOL
der the coming campaign. Among
these are named two in Louisiana.
We are fully prepared to believe
that the Republicans of the North
intend to use the army as indicated,
and we warn the Democratic House
to stand by their clause in the appro-
priation bill, for ifthey do not, blood
shed will result.
This may be startling to the timid,
but it's true, nevertheless. We, of
the South, are free Americans or we
are nothing, and we intend to assert
that freedom from this time forward.
In 1874, Grants Cavalry raided down
this section and arrested innocent
citizens by the score, in order to in
timidate and drive them from the
polls. Let that raid be repeated;
let Hayes dare send his cavalry or his
infantry on a mission of such charac-
ter to this valley, and his military
column will 60 out faster than they
came in.
This tramp of the army" will
have double meaning next time, and
the americans of Louisiana will make
tho march interesting, and warmly
hospital, to such dragons as may
tramp through this way.
If the Democrats of the House de-
sire to avert collision between the
citizens of the South and the soldiers
of the army, they had best stand by |
that clause forbidding their use as
police.

Peopletalk Of Stephens, of Georgia,
as a great man." We defy any one
to point to any act, deed or sugges-
ton Of Stephens that places him IN
the scale Of genius one whit above
the common herd. Stephens is a
second rate man who had a large po-
litical following in Georgia and to
mol|ify them Stephens was accorded
many positions to which neither his
talent, genius or acts ever entitled
him. Every time he has talked, from
his dish-water history Of the "war
between the States" down to his
boot licking letter on the Pott er in
vestigation, he has made 40 egregious
ass of himself.

Scope of the Investigation.

Some men talk Of the Hayes frauC
as if it was a matter of every dag
occurrence and of very little moment
They mistake the temper of the poo
pie as much as they under-rate the
question.
Succinct1y stated the issue involv
ed by the raising of the Potter Com
mittee is to determine and fix the
responsibility upon the traitors who
subverted the rights Of the people OF
the Union, in the person of their elect
ed President, Mr.. Tilden. The enor-
mitv of such a crime cannot be
measured by words, and that it de-
serves, should, and will, receive con-
dign punishment, all honorable men
must admit.
The Democratic party has assnm-
ed the task of vindicating the rights
of the people. That it should do so,
is but right and proper, for it is the
party that has ever been Jealous OF
their liberties that has continually
done battle for them. The Commit
tee delegated to gather evidence has
already begun its work; that work
should receive the substantial aid and
patriotic encouragement of every hon
orable citizen in the South.
The limit of the investigation, we
contend, should be unbounded, and
the result should and shall bear with
it a complete vindication of the rights
of the people Of the United States.
How is this to he successfully &C
complished ?
We answer, and will contend, that
should it be found, as it surety ariN
that Hayes was directly connected
with the conspiracy to dethrone lib
erty and install fraud in 1876; that he
instigated, aided and abetted in the
subversion of the true result of the
election in the States Of Louisiana and
Florida, there is but one thing which
can be done.
It is childish to suppose that the
honorable American, imbued with
respect for, and love of their institions,
will tamely submit, after ~hat IS "o~
lnown and admitted is judicialy PROF.
Hayes is an usurper-to al
ow him to enjoy the fruits of that
'raud.
If such is the intent and purpose of
his investigation, it we're better to
rave let the matter rest. We cannot
hink, however, that such is the pnr-
'ose; but hold that the principle for
which we and all right thinking hon
rable men contend will not be Sue
essfully maintained unless Mr.. Tlden
3 inaugurated.
This position we assume, will be
ssailed by such as are personally H.
crested, but it mist be understood
hat this is not a personal question
ut one involving great principle.
1r. Tilden may or may not be to our
king, he ras elected nevertheless,
nd such being the case, which this
will prove beyond cavll
r dispute, his right to the Office
honld and must be enforced.
Should the effect of the "Investiga-
ion" stop short Of this, what miser-
bile spectacle will we present to the
world. We prove that the presiden-
y was stolen from the majority, and
hen We allow the thief to retain the
,rize!
The people of this country will
lever submit to condonement Of
nch crime, and now that the inves-
igaton has begun, popular opinion
will force the punishment of those
Who are guilty.
