the people and by the colleges OBJ
tanned his rights,
Reform and retrenchment had as
much significance for them as for
tpe Republican leaders, who dreaded
the loss OF power, not Iuly on ac-
count OF the immense patronage aud
the spoils that would pass out OF
their hands, but for the exposures
that would inevitably bring ruin up
on them and the party. Hence they
made common cause. aud throu Ga
this iuduence the highest judicial
tribunal became an instrument oil

They robbed the people Of three
States OF their votes. Thoy refused

aided the villainy.
The conspirators tremole now
fearing that the day of retribution is
at haod, aud that the weapons they
used four years ago may be turned
against them. They have cause for
this anxiety from a consciousness OIL
guilt. But the people, who were

How Ben Wade offered to Fight
Bob Toombs.

During the heat of debat, on certain
occasion, "BlufT Ben" said something at
which Robert Toombs took serious offence.
aud fell that only duel would settle the
matter. But Wade, however, had the
reputation in the shooting galleries at
Washington of being the best rife shot In
the city. ToOmbs was in this dilemma:
lie desired to challenge Wade, provided
he was assured the latter wouldn't accept:
but he was disposed 70 allow his wrath
cool a bit in case there was fair prospec,
OF his challenge being accepted. After
duly considering The matter, Toombs
sent friend TO rcconnoitre the ground a
little
Il knew what was wanted" said Wade.
the minute the fellow came in. and
was ON my guard"
The friend asked Wade what he thought
OF dueling AS mode of settling disputes
between gentlemen.
Il think its mighty good way" said
wade 1t is the old and only chivalrie
method"
What would you do in case Robert
Toomhs should challenge You?
a hight him, and Kill him, too, dam
him !" replied Wade.
The friend carried the information he
had obtained to Toombs, and the result
was as might have been expected that
mere never was anything more heard of
the duel.

IA this fall A mem Der OF the Con
gresslonal Committee worked Tor
nearly ten days u the hope Of Undue
ing prominent spea kers in the New
York campaign TO 20 to New Or
leaus aud help change the vote Of the
State, with the assurances that it
would 90 Republican. To his great
surprise he found that this was lust
what the Republicans OF the North
did not want to accomplish, AID he
was told that 1T would be better for
hls party not to aRitate the move
ment any more. TIE plain reason
gwen was that the "Solid South"
was TO be the battle cry next year,
and without IT there was no hope OF
keeping the North solid for the Re
publlcans. Once break the solid
South, said they, and one.haif the
force of the Republican party ia gone.
They also argue that if Republican
speakers went Sourh they would be
well treated and as none Of them
could hope to be made victims of the
terrible shotgun, it would spoil the
'0Ioody shirt as an issue. This
shows the kind OF patriotism that
rests IN that camp. PHoNo.

the Presidency in 1876, the Dem
ocrats may be tempt ed to initiate
that example, because, with ma
IoritY in both Houses Of Congress
they will have the control of the

HIS alarm is excited by the knowl-
edge that the fraud by which tie
defeated candidate was put into
the White House was a deliberate
outrage carried out by an organized
conspiracy after the election was
over.
