DIR COOKE ONCE MORE.

W feel under great obligations to the Rev.
DIR. Cooke. of the ClahIn University at Orange
burg. S. c. 1t IS to him that we are chiefly
indebted for an illustration of one OF the Pc
culiar methods by which South Carolina has
developed an overwhelming Democratic ma
iority, and it is only through him, and his
published communications, that we have
gained the attention of certain journals to
the condition of affairs III that State. Except
for his zeal in denying the statements of our
correspondent, u. l.. W." the Democratic
newspapers, which have no ear for truthful
accounts of Southern election methods, would
have either ignored the facts entirely, or sui
enly denied them, while the semi-Demo-
cratic journals would have either set off
Republican misdoings against them, as is
their fashion, or behttled their importance
with a lofty sneer at the craftsmanship from
which they only are exempt. 1t is in this
view of the matter that we feel grateful to
DR.. Cooke for supplementing the efforts of
THE TRIBUNE to lay bare the actual facts
in the late election in South Carolina,
and exhibit the true condition of at
fairs in that State. And while he has
done it unwittlngly, and in the process in
volved himself somewhat in contradictions
and made public exhibition of his own weak
ness, hc has all the same done public ser
vice.
TO briefly recapitulate. In the course of his
Investigations of the South Carolina elections

it that does not teach children To feel themselves

"OH. GIVE THE OLD MN A CHAYCE.D

The Democratic members of the Potter
Committee, and, indeed. Democrats generally,
III Congress and out behave in IA very singular
manner about the cipher investigation. On
behalf of Mr.. Tildcn himself, We feel called
mon To protest against 1t. They not
ONLY seem to consider Mr.. Tildcn politically
dead, but to think that his taking off is OF
so little cons rqucnce that the decent formality
of an inquest is almost a waste Of time. NOW
this il not fair to Mr.. TIlden, who thinks be
is not dead; and If he is indeed cold, 1t Is
dSrespectful to his memory to refuse to in
uuirc into the circumstances under which
his candle went out. The Democrats in Con-
grcss are treating the old gentleman too
much as the late Charles Chapman, of Hart
ford, did the memory of one Moses White, u
shiitless and unworthy citizen of Litchtied
County, who had been killed in some sort of a
fracas, and whose murderer Chapman was
defending The testimony was so conclusive
against his client that Chapman felt there was
no use to attempt anything except to show
some mitigating circumstances. and there
were not many of these. Gentlemen of
"the jury!" said he with great solemnity, in
closing. "Human life is sacred thing. |
"do EOt stand here to say that it ought I'M
/" der any circumstances to be taken with I'M
"punity. And yet. gentlemen, in weighing
this case, you may fairly consider the fact
"that if at any time within the past fifteen
years the annou ncement had been made
in Litchield County that some resident Of
"that county must die suddenly. and that

public affairs. As State legislator. Congress-
man, Governor, Senator and Secretary, he has
touched official life at all points, and has
seen half-a-dozen generations of public men,
as generations go in politics. The remlnis-
cences of such an extended and varied career
are not to be gathered from conversation
of an hour or two. but even i'll an hour much
may be learned that is of interest and value
The talk with Mr.. Fish. which is reported
elsewhere, is charming in its frankncss and
familiarity and its sketches of many OF MI
Fish's political associates are full OF pleasant
detail. In this really notable conversation,
the ex Secretary utters many striking Opinions
of men and politics, and while 1t has not been
possible, perhaps, to reproduce his exact lap
guage at all times III an interview of such
length, and occasional phrases may do nm
unintentional injustice, the ideas bear the
stamp of their author One of the most at
tractive portions of the talk is that in which
Mr. Fish discusses the characteristics OF Gene
raj Grant, and relates how some Of his APP
pointments were made
Mr. Conkling has again carried his Commit
tee with him in opposition to the Custom
House changes, and the nominations OF
General Merritt and Mr.. Burt will be re-
ported adversely. General Graham, who was
nominated to fill a vacancy. Will be nm
dOubtcdly cOnfirmed, as the Committee mas
made unanimous report recommending that
course. The balance of opinion in Washing
ton seems to he in favor OF the we"
that Mr.. Conkling will be sustained by
the Senate, rs he was before. Whether Gen
cral Arthur and Mr. Cornell after having re-
ceived this vindcation, viii carry ont the
intention they are believed to entertain OF re-
signing, may depend upon the course OF the
Administration. 1t Is to be hoped that both
the supporters of the President and the oppo-
ncnts OF the Custom House changes Will bear
in mind the necessity Of as near an approach
as possible to harmonious dealing, and VIII
that the Senate will cease to be
Republican in five weeks.

That famous case of the soldier who had his
trousers burned in a fire at Aiken, and whose claim
for relief has been before bureaus and committees

to overlook the illegal act Of the officer in command
who furnished thes unfortunate soldier with pair
of trousers without waiting for the action of Con-

Mr. GarrisOns recent letter declaring that
" the bloody shirt " was the sign by which
the Republican party must conquer, and that
a Solid South must be met by Solid North,
has evoked large number of replies, one of
the most forcible of which he transmits TO US.
The writer is a Federal official at the South,
whose name Mr.. Garrison suppresses, lest It's
publication should bring upon its owner that
peculiar disapprobation with which the South
visits literary felers" who tell the truth
about the bulldOzers. Mr.. Garrison's long
service to the cause of humanity renders him
impatient Of injustice wherever he finds it,
and of no kind of injustice more than that

East Cape and Behring Strait were almost

passed in pack ice mile from shore. un.

scientific observation. The villagers on

CORPORAL Davis Promoted.

Corporal Davis Promoted.
The election of Corporal Davis to be
Governor of the State of Maine is estab-
lished BY returns received since yesterday
morning. showing conclusively that the
republicans have clear and undoubted
majority in the Senate as well as House.
1t is not yet known whether Mr.. Davis
has majority Of the popular vote or not,
IS the returns have come in very slowly
since yesterday morning. but there is
little or no interest upon that point since
it is evident that the Senate is republican
and that he will be elected by that body il
he Is not elected by the popular vote.
To the eight counties known yesterday
morning u have been carried By the re-
publicans. We. now add York county,
which it has been ascertained has gone
republican by an all-su6icient and safe
majority. Dispatches have also been re-
ceived claiming that the republican candi-
date for senator in Franklin county Is
elected. If this be correct-which we
do not positively assert to be so-then the
republican strength in the Senate will be
10 votes and the fusion strength ~. But
without Franklin we still have IS votes.
two more than enough to make Mr.. Davis
Governor.
This is glory enough. We have buried
greenbackism and truck-and- decker dem
ocracy in one grave together. Green
backism in Maine will never have resur-
rection. The truck-and-dicker democrats
will find their level low down in the
ranks of the party which they betrayed
for the hope Of Office.
Corporal Davis will be promoted to the
high position Of Commander in Chief Of
the State. and the people generally will
be pleased when he steps up into the
exalted position to which he will be
elected. We congratulate him and the
people of Maine upon his and their good
fortune In the result of the election Of
Monday last.
