THE Washington Star publishes an
Haccount of secret agreement made at
the St, Louis convention. On that oc-
casion Tamlaany stood by Hendricks
to the last, aud attempted to beat Til
den with him, and when the former
was spoken of for the vice presfdep-
tIal nomination, aconsultation between
the New York and Indiana delegations
was had. Eight of the New York del
egatIon, Tammanyites, were opposed
to Tilden, aud at this consultation,
before the plan of nomination was
agreed to, Dorsheimer and other
of Tilden's friends made the pledge
That if Governor Hendricks would
consent to accept the second place on
the ticket he should, in 1880, have a
clear field for the first place, so far as
Mr.. Tilden was concerned. Judge
Hanna and other Indianians who had
been telegraphing with Governor Hen
bricks took the proposition under con-
siderstion. 1t was virtually agreed
that Mr.. Hendricks should run for Vice
President, but that in 1880 he should
have the support of Tilden and all his
friends, and their influence for the
nomination for President. Those who
spoke for Mr.. Tilden said he did n
care for more than one term of the
presidency. After the electoral COM
mission had decided in favor of
Mr.. Hayes it was known among
friends of Mr.. Hendricks that TLlden
did not consider himself bound any
longer to the agreement. Because he
had "been defrauded of his Office" he
wanted another chance at it. Mr..
Hendricks friends insisted that the
result was not the fault of their man,
and that the agreement should be car
ried out. Now Mr.. Dorsheimer and
Others who were prominent in speak
ing of Mr.. Tilden at that conference
are leading members of Tammany aud
bitter enemies of Tilden. Probably
they intend to stick to their part of the
agreement, and that may account for
the early Endorsement of Hendricks by
the Tammany organ.

SENATOR SHARON, of Nevada, one of
the richest bankers in the United
States, is the earnest friend of Grant
for the presidency. He says strong
government is needed. We use his
own words:
''The wealth of the country demands
it. Without capital and the capitalist
our government would not be worth g
Zig. The capital of the country de-
mands protection; its rights are as
sacred as the rights of the paupers,
who are continually prating about the
encroachment of capital and against
centrslizatlon. We have tried Grant
and we know him to be the man for
the place above all others. He has
nerve. AS President he would be
Commander-in-Chief of the army and
navy, and when the Communist
tramps of the country raised mobs to
tear up railroad tracks and to sack
cities on the sham cry of bread or
blood, he would not hesitate to turn
loose upon them canister and grape.
The wealth of the country has to bear
the burdens of the government, and it
should control it. The people are be-
coming educated up to this theory
rapidly, and the sooner this theory is
recognized IN the Constitution and laws
the better it will be for the people.
''Without bloodshed and rivers of it
there will be no political change of ad-
mlnistration. The moneyed interests
of the country for self-preservation
must sustain the republican party.
The railroads, the manufacturers,
the heavy importers, and all classes of
business in which millions are invested
will maintain the supremacy of the
republican party. democratic success
would be bankruptcy TO them. To
avert fearful bleodshed strong CEN
trail government would be established
as soon as possible.

Tom SCOTT at one time asked for
$40, 900 per mile IN bonds bearing G
per cent. interest with which to build
the Texas and Pacific railway across
Texas. These bonds at that time would
have sold for over $47, 900 in gold and
road building was much cheaper then
than now, and yet contract to build
$50 miles OF this road has lately been
signed at Philadelphia, by which the
road Is to be completed and set at
work for $50, 900 per mile, payable in
first mortage bonds, upon which
the name of the United States
government will not appear. Thus it
is proven, as the STATESMAN con-
tended, that the monstrous proposition
was only proposed huge swindle, and
the building of this road is assured,
even In the face of Senator Morgan's
proposition to deny ''infnite benefac-
tions" to the South. Senator Morgan
is right. Railroad corporations should
not be specially exempt in the matter
of meeting solemn obligations entered
into with Congress. That railroad
corporations should in the aggregate
hold one or two hundred million acres of
snds on promises never fulfilled is a
proposition too monstrous to be tolera-
ted, and that Senator Morgan should be
condemned from any quarter for thus
doing his simple duty as Congress
man smacks of blind subserviency to
that which is absolutely corrupt.

THE death of Senator Houston, Of

THE death of Senator Houston, of
Alabama, gives rise to speculation re-
garding his successor. General Joseph
Wheeler, who figured at the time
Houston was chosen, will hardly re-
ceive the appointment. Yet, Governor
Cobb may conclude that with the
death of the Senator has also expired
the antagonists that resulted from
Wheeler's defeat, and 50 name him.
Were it not that by go doing another
vacancy would be created, Representa-
tive 81, A. Herbert, who has alre,dy
made reputation at Washington as
one of the ablest as we'll as most con-
servatiYe members from the South,
might receive the appointment. The
Legislature will elect Senator to serve
for the unexpired term, IL November,
and Governor Cobb's appointee will
figure prominently as candidate, un-
less Cobb himself desire the honor,
which would be nothing new for a
Governor.

sHIRKING a sACRED RKsPON.
SIBELITY.

b SPECIAL correspondent of the Inter
Ocean, who has been sent down to
Kansas, estimates that IS, 600 negroes
haYe moved into the State. He cay
the relief committees aye doing all in
their power to provide for these negroes,
but fears are entertained that if they
continue to flock in SIS they now come
there must be great wretchedness and
suffering amongst them. This Is not
what was promised. The relief
committees must do their duty
bleed the Republicans, who set the
movement on foot, and make them
support Sambo as the free American
colored citizen eminsntly deserves.
For fifteen years the negro has been
doing the bidding OF Republicans, and
he merits, cons6 Guently, not only their
greatest consideration, but their sub
staDtial support. Because the rigors
of winter are at hand, and be-
cause the expense consequently
of maintaining these negroes in
Kansas, jus; now, is very great, is no
sufficient excuse for the Inter Ocean
to call for halt in the exodus. The
negroes have vested right in the for
tunes of the Republican party, and,
since this right is not represented by
Office, there is but one other represent
tative for them, substantial support.
These negroes are needed in Kansas,
Indiana and other States for political
purposes, and when the question of ex-
pense, duringwinter months, ID mooted
the bare suggestion should be frowned
down by colored people. They have
a lien upon the pockets of Re-
publicsns, and, failing to lean hesv-
lily, they neglect right that none
should ignore. Years ago these
colored voters were promised forty
acres and a mule, and now, when the
pledge has been made redeemable in
Kansas, the negro who does not hold
the obligors to the very letter of the
contract Is fool. Fuel and
clothing, and food and good shelter
are plentiful in Kansas and Missouri
and Indiana, and being needed in these
States next fall to insure Republican
maiorities, they had just as well make
the best of it and take good thing at
the earliest moment possible.

Here follow questions numbering IA,
in which the alleged defect on account
of which each rejected return was
thrown out is specified, and the opin-
ion of the court is asked upon the sew
ersl points. The questions are stated
with great minuteness. Mr.. Morrill,
then asks: when the Governor
and council decide that there is no
return from city or town on which q
representative can be summoned to the
legislature, is 1t their duty to take such
steps as will insure to the voters of
such city or town new election by
which they shall secure representative
in the legislature The cases of the
five disfranchised cities are referred to.
Have the Governor and council the
right and is it their duty to recall any
certificate of election improperly or err
roneously issued to any senator or rep
resentative, or if they cannot recall
certificate, have they the right and is it
their duty to issue a new certificate to
the person entitled thereto under this
opinion of the courts?

THE Marshall Herald takes a very
just view of case, when it asserts
that Congress has no right to open the
Indian Territory to settlement, and to
carve out of it the proposed territory
of Oklahoma, that land spectators
may be gratified while the faith
of the government is placed
at naught. That President Hayes
should lend himself to the purposes
of these men may be wondered at,
when he is especially commissioned to
execute laws in force, and to protect
the vested rights of citizens. At the
last session of Congress this subject
was considered, and it was supposed
the q lestion had been disposed of
Representative G Ilberson then made an
able speech against interfering with
the rights of these CT vilized and peace
able Indians, who, in accepting the
conditions laid down by the govern
ment, under which they took up their
residence in the Territory, certainly
secured title with which the Presi-
dent of the United States should be
the last one to interfere. The Herald
says: "Such a fragrant act of dis
honesty to the Indians ought not to be
permitted. To Texas it is matter of
serious Importance. An Indian war on
our frontier caused by the spoilation of
the territory of = pescesble people, and
in which all the tribes of the Northwest
would become involved, is certainly not
to be desired, or permitted. The oc-
casion is one in which the press of the
State should come to the defence of the
Indians. What is contemplated is the
robbery of their homes, TO which they
have as much right as the white men to
theirs"

TnR Mormon leaders are show

THE Mormon leaders are showing
anxiety over proposed legislation re-
garding pOlygsmy, and Representative
Cannon went from Washington to Salt
Lake City to consult with them about
the matter. He is candid in his ad-
MISSIONS that polygamy is doomed, and
the only recourse among the saints to
perpetuate the institution is to seek g
new Canaan. one of the apostles
lately went TO the City of Mexico to
treat with that government regarding
a settlement in Northern Mexico. and
he was Informed that polygamy, in
case of removal to Mexico, would rot
be sanctioned by the government; that
land would be allowed them, but that
polygamy would not be tolerated on
Mexican soil. So the SAINTS, 1t appears.
must give up the institution or secure
them an island in the Pacific, or 60
albustering into Central America,
