The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-02-12

The public evinces but little interest in
the cypher telegram investigation, although
the testimony drawn out is thrown before
the eyes Of the newspaper reader every day.
This testimony shows that Mr. Tilden had
no connection with any negotiation for the
purchase of Republican electors. When
advised OF the progress Of such negotia-
tons he angrily reprimanded the parties
directly concerned, and solemn.y declared
that he would scom the presidency il Sc
cured through such reprehansible means.
That individual Democrats were involved,
cannot be denied. Republican electors
were not purchased by the aforesaid "indi-
yidual Democrats because they held them
selves at too high figure. That Republi-
cans should. in view Of the damnable moral
rottcnness Of their own electors, attempt to
hold the Democratic party responsible for
the conduct of half dozen disreputable
Democrats, is simply preposterous. The
fact is undenlablc, that three or four Flori-
da and louisiana Republican electors were
for sale. If the Democratic party Is re-
sponsible for the conduct of Democrats who
made bids Tor these purchaseable electors,
how can the Republican party escape re-
sponslbility on the score Of the yillainy Of
the men whom it placed in the field for
party support throughout a whole State;
In the Democrats it was individual pertidy.
In the Republicans it was individual and
official perfdy and political treachery, all
combined No fact is better known than the
fact that these electors were for sale. They
possessed the power to elect either Tilden
or Hayes. Had they voted for Tilden, the
universal verdict would have been that the
Democrats had paid the price. But they
voted for Hayes, the merchandise they
offered for sale was bestowed upon the Re-
publican candidate; and no reasonable, I'M
prejudiced man can escape the conclusion
that it was turned over to the highestand best
bidder. Had the matter been a plain COM
mercial transaction, the man could not be
found who would not at once say, "Hayes
got the goods, because he bid the highest
price for them" The transaction, because
it has about it the faint Of party politics,
does not escape the same rule of interpre-
tation. Senator Morton, into whose hands
all the kilograms passed. destroyed those
that were sent by the Republican bidders;
but the fact remains, nevertheless, that GER
tain electors in Florida and Louisiana
held themselves in readiness to vote for the
candidate Of the party that paid them their
price. They voted Tor Hayes; and that's the
whole matter in nut shell.

Mr., Mcbride, of the Lower House OF
our General Assembly, recently introduced
string of resolutions setting forth the
grievances of the debtor classes; how they
were taxed the full value of property for
which they were still in debt, and that it
was only just and right that they b, af-
forded relief. In view of the hardshils of
these classes, as rocited, Mr.. Mchide
moved that the CREDITOR classes Should
pay no taxes upon notes and mortgages,
provided the interest received didn't exceed
Z per cent. Instead Of relieving the poorman
from taxation on what he owes, Mr.. Mcbride
proposes to relieve the rich man from any
obligation to pay taxes upon his credits
notes and mortgages, which in nine cases
out of ten, represent so much actual money.
This Is helping the poor man with ven
gapce.

Ok the principle Of giving TO God what
the devil doesn't want the young Lord
Leopold has entered the church. He is
not likely to become Tallcyrand, Spur
geon, nor yet Beecher or a Collyer. He
is dull, sluggish, sickly creature; has a
fitness for nothing in life, and very natural
ly wandered into the respectable asylum
that contains so much of the rubbish OF
English mediocrity. The Chicago 1ele-
graph says that Leopold is not crippled
anywhere but in his brain.
