Rev. Lyman Abbott writing lately to
the Christian Union, thus speaks OF
Mrs. Hayes:
"Her social victory il completes, and
has been won after hard battle. The
story has been told before, bat it h
worth retelling. She came TO Wash-
ton determined not TO Offer wine To her
guests; this was the determination Of .
lifetime, and she would not and could
not abandon ii. To give state din
ner without wine was declared to be I'M
possible; all Washington society wa<
opposed to her; believe IL even be-
came a Cabinet question For a few
years she was target for the sort Of ar
rows which IL is 80 hard for any woman
to bear unfiinchingiy. But she bore h
all; but her patient, persistence and
her tact carried the day and conquered
Mrs. Grtindy in her own field. She
never has offered wine; Washington
follows her lead and I doubt whether
any state Capital, not including the
Capital of Maine, Is q more thoroughly
temperance city than Washington to-
day."
That Is a good example given BY .
person and at a place where the infia-
ence Is likely TO be considerable, at least
for the time being.

The talk that was current at Wash
ington last winter about Senator
Davis, intention to resign his posi-
ton in the U. S. Senate is again
aioat in the newspapers. A Wash
ingtOh special in the Cincinnati En-
quirsr of Saturday makes the follow
ing reference to it:
The friends of Senator Da Wis. of
West Virginia, say that he has been
meditating for some time past re-
signing his seat in the Senate, where
he has become familiar character.
He has become the President of a
railroad leading up the north branch
of the Potomac river, and then con-
tinuing s0uthwestward to point
near the White Sulphur Springs, on
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad.
On this course Senator Davis has
40. 900 acres of magnificent woodland,
Immediately available for timber
when the railroad shall be opened,
and it is all underlaid with superb
beds of coal. AT his time of life the
development of this region and the
completion of the railroad will give
him plenty to do. His first cousin.
Arthur German, has. meantime, been
elected to the Senate from Mary land.
Senator Davis is the son of getle-
man once quite rich, who failed when
the Senator was boy, and he had to
go to work at whatever come along.
TIe has been altogether the most en-
ergetic public man between the West
and the East, and has played an inn
portant part in the construction OF
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. l
was asking one of his friends day or
two ago how he came to question the
integrity of the figures presented by
the Geveohment as to its indebted
| ness.
"That naturally arose." was the re-
ply, from a straight out business
man finding that three officers of the
governU ent we're putting down diff
ferent figures for the Public Debt.
The Register of the Treasury (Alli'
SEM had different bookkeeping
from the Secretary and Treasurer,
and it was natural that when a man
took up these three reports and found
no two of them agreeing, he consid'
cred that there might be something
wrong in the figures themselves"

A Democrats Indictment Of the
Democratic Party.

This is really given in seven counts
by leading Democrat in the Alba
ny Argus. 1t is interesting to see
the causes to which he attributes the
defeat at the recent Presidential
election. No candid mind can ex.
anime them without acknowledging
that they. collectively and sevsrally,
justify the verdict passed upon the
party.
l. Our fanatical crusade against
the Federal election laws and the
Federal laws permitting the pres
ence of troops at the polls.
2. Our failure to espouse with
earnestness the cause of the Southern
laborers. 1t is notorious that their
political rights are outraged and their
political weight neutralizsd by VIC.
lence and fraud in some of the states.
3. Our low tone of sentiment in
regard to the supreme authority of
the constitution. We hesitated to
recognize the sovereignty of the Uni
ted States within their constitutional
sphere.
4. Our apparent connivance at
Southern sectionalism. This species
Of sectienalism is an evident and
pOrtentious reality. b
5. Our abject and stupid servitude
tc party usages.
6. Our unhallowed alliance with
the financial folly and political her.

7. Our dastardly treachery TO the
cause of civil service reform.

men. Our Presidents have counted
in their numb Der many truly wonder
full men, and some of rare culture,
but there has not been one OF them
from Washington to Hayes, who has
been better educated or who has
drawn more continually from
storshouse of great book learning
than has Gen. Garfield. He knows
wherein lie many elements OF
strength and how to bring them
forth. He was through the district
school at seventeen and soon after
entered a country seminary, whose
meagre opportunities and discipline
seem small compared with the mod
erin institutions Of preparatory
learning. From that day to this he
has been a school man IN the highest
sense of the word. He believes in
education fer others. One OF his
strongest grounds of faith ia Re-
public is that it must be an educated
and educating Republic, and that the
common school and the university
work hand IN hand for the prepare
ton Of citizens for the duties and the
honOrs of citizenship. He has put
his ideas into his legislative work,
for, to his aid, as much as to that OF
any one man, does the National
Bureau of Education owe its exiS-
tence. He first presented the me
mortal of the National Association
of School Superintendent. asking
for such u bureau, to Congress, re-
ported as "A committeeman IN favor
of it, made a speech in its support,
and worked personally for it among
the members Of Congress. In public
and in private he bias always been a
friend TO education, and what he has
been In the past his natural colsis
tency of character will determine
that lie mast be also in the future.
From the foregoing / am assured
that one os the main frtsitS of Gen
Garfisld's administration will be pro-
duced in the South. So far as ma
tional aid can he extended in advanc.
ing common education and in spreaG-
ing COMMON schools over points
where such do not exist at present,
it will be to that extent urged by the
next President. l believe that he
will give serious and careful attention
to the subject of education ia thu
South, and thus aid the growing gen.
alton In better understanding this
duties and demands of citizenship
than their fathers have understood
them. He will no. urge any temper.

will insist on going to tine root of the

The returns have been received from
all the counties in the State, if re-
ceived before that time, must COM
pare and estimate the votes given to
Electors, and certify to the Governor
the names OF the proper number Of
persons having the highest number
of votes. This duty the Secretary of
State performed yesterday, the latest
date provided by law. Had the Sec
rotary of State, who acts as Re-
turning Board in this matter, been
content to have simply received and
checked off the packages of each
county until all were received, and
then made the official canvass, he
would have been obliged to have re-
jected the returns from Mendocino
and Siskiyou, and to have accepted
imperfect returns from Lassen and
since Mendecino and Siskiyou gave
an aggregate average majority of Az
votes for the Hancock Electors, it is
plain the remaining counties would
have given the other five Garfield
Electors a plurality Of about $50
votes. The difficulty with the re.
turns from Lasssn were that they had
omitted the votes cast for two rssn-
ocratic Electors, and as these returns
were duly certified and sealed, they
were, according to Democratic meth
DDS, the best evidence that could
have been had, providing, of course,
the missing votes had been Republic
can. But the Republican Secretary
Of State had looked into these pack.
ages Of returns as they had been re-
csiyed, and discovering the errors
and omissions referred TO, telegraphed
for other and correct returns, pointing
out the fatal mistakes in the first

Electors have been declared elected
by an average plurality of 81.

this kind of advantage over the Re
publican voters he lets them know
the penalty of such carelessness BY
throwing out such returns, and, in
deed we were treated to some of thu
same kind of business in Stanislaui
county at the last election. The
Dem ocratic board of supervisors, in
canyassing the returns found that the
tally lists and the poll lists from Oak
dale and Empire districts were Miss
ing. They were asked 10 adjourn, a;
they might, under the law, to give
an opportunity to have the return:

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

Special Correspondence TO The Republican. j
WASHINGTON. d. c.. Dec. d, 1880.
The Democrats of the House, after
spending the first week of the ses-
sion in a fruitless attempt 10 pass the
electoral count resolution, continued
their endeavors yesterday. The only
possible reason for their great desiue
to gain the partisan advantage which
would he had should this yuIs be-
come law, is to vitiate the yesult 0f
the last Presidential election, throw
il into the. House, and so elect Han
cock or some other Delnocra. PresT-
dent. There Rust be, from the ma
ture of the circumstances, some hid
den reason, some point to be gained
by the Democratic party, Or they
would not, at the peril of future fa-
yor, in defiance of the business in
terests of the country, push the
resolution, which otherwise would
be of no earthly benefit to them or
value to any one else. The party that
Endorsed the Maine steal, that pro
duced and circulated the forged No.
rey letter, has so little moral or pc.
litical conscience that it would stop at
no crime, however daring. to defeat
the will of the people so emphatically
pronounced last November. The
Republicans in the House are making
all the opposition in their power, and
as the Democrats have not a quorum
of their own members here they can
not pass the measure as long as the
Republicans resist it.
A few words descriptive of this
resolution may not be ainiss. 1t pro.
yides that where but one set of re.
turns are received from a State, it
shall take the vote of both House
and Senate to reject them. Where
two sets are received. tho votes of
both Houses shall decide which is
the true one. In fact, the entire
control of the counting and declaring
VI TIC ICSuib WI tlO 6ICClIOIl, Is DY
this resolution, given TO the Demo.
cratic majority in Congress. Fer
example !: the election in New York
State was very close, the Republican
electors having but small actual
majority suppose when that State
is reached in JOINT session next Feb.
ruary, some Democrat gets up and
objects, charging fraud, and asserting
that the State was really carried for
Hancock; under the resolution no
earthly power can stop the Demo.
cratic majority in both Houses from
counting the State for Hancock, if
they chose. Tho resolution is fraught
with danger and we see revolutionary
tendencies which distinguished the
Democratic party ia tbs past, and
will continue to DO 50.
After some petty objections by the
Democrats, Judge Taylar, Gen. Gar
fields successor in Congress was
sworn in yesterday. This bsing ~
pareutly the only business before the
House it took up the electoral reso.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1880-12-18

Very curiously, that clause of the
Georgia code which conflicts with the
United States Statutes regarding the
counting of the electoral vote was
enacted in 1868, to har,nonize the
State law with the statutes of the
Confederacy, and successive legisla-
lures since the end of the war have
never stricken it from the books,
1t is clearly her own fault if Georgia
loses her vote for President and
Vice President.
