Was This a Nation in 1876
(From the St. Louis Republican.)

(From the st. Louis Republican,
Just at this time the republicans are
vociferously asserting that this is ma
ton" One republican state convention
started the cry, another caught it up, and
it is now running along the whole line. The
cOrrollary to this is a nation" is, as the
Pennsylvania republicans express it, that
THE election of congressman and pres-
dental electors is subject to national con-
troll, or, as the Wisconsin republicans put
it, that "the elections of members of con
gress are national elections" and it is the
duty of the national government to super
wise them.
We do not presume to take issue with
the republicans on this nationality matter,
and to deny that this is nation; but we
desire to call the attention of that amiable
party to an occasion on which they them.
selves held that this is not nation. Do
they remember the presidential election of
1916, aud the dispute that followed it?
They would like to forget it, but they can
NOT, for it was only three years ago. At
that election their presidential candi-
date was beaten, and the democratic
candidate elected. When the fact was
discovered they suddenly forgot their
nationality doctrine and became furious
champions OF state rights. Nationality
would not serve them in the work they
proposed, for the nation had, by majority
of 257 600 votes, declared for Tilden and
Hendricks. But they got round
this by first suborDing the mercen-
airy returning boards of Louisiana
and Florida to falsify the result in
those states, and then organizing an cleo
tOral commission to sOlemnly decide that
presidential electors are state officers, the
elections for them are state elections. and
the national government has no authority
to go behind the returns of them and re-
view the action of the state returning
board: 10 do this wodld be an unwarrant
able invasion of state rights The state
returning board might fasiiy the result;
they might certify fraud instead of the
fact; they might send in the names of the
defeated candidates for electors, instead of
the names OF those who were really chosen,
add thus inflict wrong. not only on the
people ct their state, but upon the whole
people OF the United States No matter:
there was no remedy for such "A wrong: "A
fraud committed by state returning
board must be allowed 60 stand. tor there
was DO authority in the national govern
meDt to undo it!
This was the republican doctrine 10
1877, and on it they made Mr.. Hayes presi-
dent In fact, all the nationality clnsidet-
alton in the electoral dispute of 1877 was
on tho side Of Tildeu, aud the only basis
for his opponents claim was a wretcbed
perversiOn of the state-rights doctrine.

section for the second season, this
year. The manufacturers of these
articles have had such satisfactory
results from them in the past, that
they claim their fertilizers as being
the cheapest and besti in the market

well sustained by first rate testi-

gagged in the cultivation of such
crops as need continuous stimulants
to force a rapid growth. The COM

One night last week man named
Seagraves, living near Gainesville,
in this county, dreamed three times
in succession that some gold wa
buried in certain place, and the
dream having made such an i'm
preston on his mind, he concluded
to test the matter, and discovered
buried in quinine bottle, eleven
hundred dollars of the yellow metal.
1t is supposed to have been buried
there several years ago by DR..
Thompson, now dead, who once
lived on the place.-HoHy Springs
(Miss.) Register.
We happen to be living at pres
ent in a house formerly occupied by
a doctor, and Immediately aftel,
reading the above we proceeded to
search every hole and corner large
enough to conceal a quinine bottle,
but so far we have met with no en-
couragement. We found a few a
old corks laying around, it is true,
but they didn't appear to be the
kind generally used in quinine bot
ties. We are at present keeping
close eye on the young man who
plowed up our garden. If he sue
ceeded in unearthing any hidden
treasure, he has not seen fit to con-
6de in us. But we know that he
bought fine cow and calf shortly
awards, which looks suspicious.
