An OPPORTUNITY FOR STATESMANSHIP'

The south Will Save the Country
from Revolution.
By Telegraph to the sen.ine /,


special to the Inter-Ocean says: Senator
Ben Hill writes to Congressman Chitten-
den at interesting letter, deploring the
solidity Of the two sections, and expressing
fear that the disruption OF tbs Republic
and the establishment Of a monarchy will
follow a continuance Of such a state Of
things. He says: There is an opportu-
nifty for craftsmanship now to break down
old parties, and form new ones on new
issues, irrespective of sections. 7 would
be glad to see q great National party or
ganized, for l believe the Government
formed by the Constitution is a Nation.
True. 1t Ia a limited Nation, but within the
powers delegated to it by the Constitution
1t is as much a Nation as any on tho globe,
| see a movement to make an issue on the
result in New York, with a view to the de-
feat of Garfield by the count in Congress.
There would be great danger of this, but
for one fact, and that one fact is, that the
South will not countenance 1t. The poor,
derided and abused South will once more

before, will get no credit for it. The Re-
publican party will take the Presidency,
probably, because the North wills it, and
at the next election the leaders of that
party will tell the people from every stump
and pulpit in the North that the South
must not be trusted. Nevertheless, We
shall avert all revolution, not to win Re-
publican praise. or to avoid Republican
abuse, for either is impossible; but solely
because 1t Is right, and we are determined
to preserve the peace Of tbs country. How
long human nature can bear this I don't
know. 1t is injustice unparalleled, and o
wrong that ought to cover the North with
bushes"
Edgar X. ApSaY ON the Political
Situation.
ALBANY, November 10.-The following
letter has been addressed to the Argus by
Edgar K. Apgar, a member both of the
Democratic State Committee and the Ex-
ecutive Committee Of that body:
ALBANY, November 10th.-As there ap-
pears to be some misunderstanding on the
subject, it is proper to state that there has
been no meeting held since the day Of
election, either of the Democratic State
Committee or the Executive Committee Of
that body. nor have notices been sent to
members OF either committee for sny such
meeting. In the future, any action taken
by members of the Committee is in
dividual action, which the Committee has
not authorized, and for which it cannot be
held responsible. In 80 grave o matter as
calling in question the vote Of New York
in the Electoral College, too great caution
cannot be exercised. The only way in
which any contest could be made, with
even a shadow Of probable success, would
be by the rejection of the Republican
Electoral tickets on which the word ELECT
ors' has been twice printed. This, /
believe, cannot and should not be done.
To change the result in any other way,
more than 20, 900 separate cases Of fraudu-
lent and corrupt voting would have to be
proved-an evident i~mpossibility. 1t GER
tainly cannot be expected that the present
State Board Of Canvassers will declare the
vote otherwise than as shown by the face
OF the returns, and my view Of the Demo-
cratic doctrine leads me to hold that
Congress cannot go behind the seal Of a
State to investigate fraud at the polls in
the choice Of Presidential Electors. This
being 80, IL seems to me that all talk as
AAAA v R0oo0o1 OA4OAAl OhdI UCtcIs hDOuI
having the Electoral vote of this State
caA for Hancock is calculated to bring
ridicule and reproach upon the Democratic
party, and would tend, If Importance were
given 1t, to produce even u still worse
effect. Those who would Justify even
slight departures from established laws
and forms, to count in Hancock in q spirit
Of revenge for the fraud of 1876, would, in
my judgment, go far to make the bad
precedent of that year the rule for the
future, and take q long step toward Mex
icanizing our Government. Holding firm
ly to these views, / am impelled to their
u~tterance, as q member Of the Democratic
State Committee and Of the Executive
Committee, in order that I may not be
considered to have by silence acquiesced
in what purports to be, but is not, author
lied action Of either Committee. Very
truly, yours, EDGAR X. APGAR.
Renaf of n Murdered Man Found.
HENRIETTA, Texas, November 10.-A
most horrible crime came to light to-day.
The remains Of q murdered man were found
lying in allow spot surrounded with brush.
The head was 20 feet from the body, one
arm was eaten away, and the feet were tied
q rope. The body had evidently been
dragged some distance by horsemen, as the
was all worn from the back. Bloody |
clothes were found 10 days ago Q mile from
the corpse.
WASHINGTON, November 9.--The Star
this evening publishes q highly interesting
dispatch fran its New York special corre- |
spondsnt, which, though seemingly some
what sensational, is known here to have
been written by Q person not addicted to
sensationalism. He says While up to
this time the very suggestion Of going be-
hind the New York returns and declaring
his State for Hancock has been classed as
part Of the machinery for letting the Dem
,crats down easy, 1t has been discovered
'hst the Democrats are very serious about
he matter, and are working to that end

from locations outside Of the State,
