In order to accommodate its view of
legislation to the quickened conscience of
Mr.. Hayes, Congress passed and sent to
him, apart from any appropriation,
bill to prevent the use Of troops at
the polls in times of peace, which it
was thought he would find no plau-
sible ground upon which to place his
veto. This has proven to be wise
step on the part of the Democrats, for
itcompelled the President either to allow
the bill to become law or to openly and
squarely espouse the cause of military
interference with the ballot box. In this
straight the fraudulent President has
yielded to the pressure of the stalwarts,
and returned the bill with his veto on
the distinctly avowed opinion that the
use of the military on such occasions as
may be necessary is sanctioned by the
principles of the constitution and the
precedents of the republic. Thus the
Republicans have been forced to take
their true ground, and acknowledge their
intention to use the troops to control the
ballot. This is enough, and if the Dem
ocrats cannot make large amount of po-
litical capital of this veto they are GER
tainly devoid of able or practical lead

Once on time stammering candi-
date for the Legislature asked friend
to write him circular. "What shall 1
write e?" inquired the friend. ri want
you to begin by saying that all my enc
mics are set of internal rascals, and
every line get stronger and stronger" was
the reply. The Chicago Tribune of last
Saturday seems to have been inspired by
similar feelings toward Judge Davis.
We have seldom read an article so bitter
upon public man. The very first sem
tence is in these words: "David Davis is
an impostor and a fraud" 1t declares
that his presence in the Senate from the
State of illinois "is shame and a hu-
initiation" Says that Mr.. Lincoln "in
an hour of weakness elevated him to the
highest office in his gift, that of Judge
of the Supreme Court of the United
States" where" he cut but sorry figure"
and where che disgusted his colleagues
on the bench" 1t is not necessary to
make further quotations in order to show
its vengeful character. The Inter-Ocean
could not have written one more unjust.
1t is unjust 10 Judge Davis and unjust to
the writer. 1t proves conclusively to our
mind that the speech which evoked it
has pierced the Radical heart to the quick.
Our respected cotempoary can not coun-
teract its influence in Illinois by such Vi
tuperation. No gentleman stands higher
than Judge Davis in that State as an up
right citizen.

The trial of Cox for the murder ol
Alston was concluded in Atlanta last
week, and resulted in verdict of guilty
OF manslaughter, the sentence for which
was imprisonment for lifein the penitenti-
ary. This is better than it might have
been, for murderers frequently go entire-
ly free; but the result is far from being
a vindication of the law, for the case as
presented was clearly one of murder OF
nothing. There was no sudden differ
ence, whereat in moment of passion he
shot Aston and killed him, but was a
deliberate and wicked plan to take human
life. Cox secured pistol, made threats,
and was reasoned with, all before the
killing occurred. There was, therefore,
not only implied but also expressed NAL
ice, together with formed design to
kill, which robs the offence of every SEM
blance to manslaughter, and makes it
one of the most fagrant murders. Cox,
however, was wealthy, and in this case,
as in thousands which have been tried
before, money whipped justice.

The Cincinnati Gazette is authority for
saying that the Republicans rely upon
their capital to starve Southern Demo
crats into voting for the appropriation
bills in order to obtain their own sala-
ries. 1t is said that Northern mil
lionaire has offered to cash the Republi-
can pay certificates if they will stand
firm, and that numerous others are will
ing TO do the same thing. There is no
doubt much truth as to the superior ad-
vantages of the Republicans in this
respect, for by their course of jobbery
and fraud during the past eighteen years
they have created monopolies and rings
which are anxious to see them return to
full power in the government once more,
and are willing to advance handsome
sum of money to secure this, and espe-
cially where they will only lose q little
interest on their money by the transac-
ton. 1t will probably turn out that
these calculations are false, for the
Southern members of Congress will suffer
the inconvenience, however serious, if it
is thought best for the country; and
though the Republican members Of Con-
gress may be able to get their own sala-
ries, it will not be easy for them to
obtain money with which to pay off the
army and the thousands of government
officials, who are practically all Repub-
licans. Thus it will be seen that if q
seige should be agreed upon, the press
ure would rest heaviest upon the Re-
publican party. The starye-out policy
is frequently very effective, and we would
ike to see the plan tried on the Repub-
licans at this time. 1t would put an end
to their game of bluff.

The President has the thanks of both
parties for his recent veto-the thanks of
the Republicans because he has stood up
to them and secured the use of the army
to influence elections, and of the Demo-
Gratis because he has had the hardihood to
proclaim his party's approval ofmilitary
interference. The Democrats ought not
to want a better campaign document
than his veto message. 1t should be
scattered broadcast all over the Republic,
that the liberty-loving portion of our
people may see the dangers to which Re-
publicanism is bringing us.

in his wise and inscrutable providence, to
remove by death from our midst our es-

of March, 1879. Therefore,
Resolved, That we humbly bow in sub
mission to the will Of our Heavenly Master,
knowing that He doeth all things well;
Resolrcd. That as our ranks have been
broken by death, and that the mystic tie
has been severed, we should be reminded
of the certainty of death, and of the neces.
sity of making preparation for bright
home on high.
Resolred, That we hereby tender our
heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved family
in their sore affiiction.
Rcsolrcd, That page in our Record Book
be dedicated to his memory.
Resolued, That copy Of these resolutions

Honest John J. Patterson, former
Senator from this State, was made chair
man of committee of three from the
Senate to investigate our Indian rela,
tions, and was the only one of the CON-
rGittee who acted. He was gone twenty
five days, and succeeded in spending a
very snug little sum in the way of Incl
dentals, of which action the Augusta
Chronicle and Constitutionalist says:
Honest John J. Patterson thinks his
little bill of ST. 900 for a twenty-five
days trip to the Indian Territory very
reasonable. He says he could have
made the expense much larger if he had
not been in an economical mood. Like
Lord Clive-the boss robber Of later
times-Honest John is astonished at his
own "moderation.

at all approximates yours in tileetitig the

this unsolicited and without the expectation

The Democratic papers which are go
ing out of their way to abuse Governor
Tilden may have cause to regret their
trouble. 1t is by no means certain that
he will not be the nominee for President
next time; and if he is, we will all have
to render him cheerful and hearty sup
port, for he is an infinitely better man
than any person the Radicals will run.
1t is, therefore, bad policy to be berating
him now. We do not desire his renom-
ination, and would prefer Bayard, Han
cock, Thurman or Hendricks to him, but
if he is renominated then he will be-
come our choice. We know that it will
be the same way with our esteemed
contemporaries who have lately been so
severe upon Mr.. Tilden, and therefore
we hope that Democratic journals will
refrain from attacking any presidential
candidate in q manner calculated to in
jure their usefulness in supporting him
if he should hereafter be nominated.

The Democrats will doubtless continue
tc pass bills repeating the infamous Rad
ical election laws, and thereby put the
President to the necessity of placing
himself on record as favoring the ma
chinery which enables the party in
power to retain control of the govern
ment by fraud and force. A few more
such candid vetoes as the one the Presi-
dent has sent in on the bill to prohibit
military interference will soon startle the
country with the avowed and well Or
ganized effort to centralize the govern
ment by subordinating the freedom of
the ballot to the will of the Executive
and to the political party to which he
belongs.

road. It runs after leaving Anderson

of its distance from market, and when
completed will render what is now one
of the most sparsely settled regions a

South Carolina was unveiled in Colum-
bia on Tuesday last. 1t is situated on

fidelity and honor with which the women
of Carolina cherish, in common with the
sterner sex, the memory of that great
and noble throng of brave patriots who
acted out the sublime motto of our State,

immense crowd of visitors, concerning
which we will present more extended
account in our next issue.

Among many unwise and dangerous
provisions looking towards communism
in the constitution of California, which
was adopted by the people of that Stale
last week, there is one which, though
more suitable for an act of the Legisla-
ture, is nevertheless good one. 1t pro-
vides that no Judge shall draw his
monthly pay where he has cases unde-
cided which have been committed to
him for more than ninety days. Such a
law would no doubt induce the judiciary
to render decisions within the time pre-
scribed by law, and would therefore be
beneficial.

nations as Professors in Furman Univer-
sity, to take effect at the close of the
present session. 1t is very much to be
hoped that the Board of Trustees will
not accept these designations, for the
places to be made vacant cannot be sup
piled by such able and useful men as
those who now occupy them. The insti-
tuition was largely endowed by the father
of DR.. Furman, and he has been Pro-
fessor in it for so many years that he and
the University are inseparably connected
in the minds and affections of the peo-
pie. Prof Judson also is very able
mathematician and scholar, whose servi-
ces would be difficult to replace.

The army appropriation bill was put
upon its passage in the House of Repre-
sentatives on Monday, without the Sec
tion which induced the President to
veto it. The House by vote of 1O1 to
100 refused to pass the bill without the
section prohibiting the use of troops at
the polls. The Greenbackers, with the
exception of Mr.. Ladd of Maine, voted
with the Republicans. This vote is a
favorable indication of the policy of the
Democrats, for it shows that they do not
intend to surrender entirely to Mr.. Hayes
and his boss-Zach. Chandler.
