fthe right Of any class of citizens in Ms
sfsslPPi to eote has been abridged, and are
not entitled to representation under the Con-
stitution. 1t will be the duty of Congress,
before making the apportionment, to inqui
how this large mass of voters have been dis.
ranchised-whether by discriminating
laws, or by methods entirely illegal. There
is some explanation why the third District
which gave Chisholm 1920, and Money IL
953, at the next election, after the Chisholm
family had been murdered, reelected his
opponent with only 4,028. That explana-
ton should be forthcoming before Mississip-

Immediately after the organization of the
next House of Congress, it is said, all cases
IN the South where the election was tainted

pose that the election shall be sent back to N,

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette
(Rep.)
The information that Republicans have
received from all parts of the South since
the election, indicates that in virginia
North Carolina, part of Georgia, Tennessee
and probably in Arkansas, the elections for
Congressman were in the main fair. In
South Carolina all were carried by the use
OF tissue ballots and by displays of violence.
In Alabama gross frauds in rejecting Re-.
publican votes were the rule In Chalmers,
District Lynch was undoubtedly cheated
out of an election. Immediately after the
organization of the next House all cases in
the South where the election was tainted
either by violence, tissue ballots. or faIss
counting, will be taken up and vigorously
dealt with. Members of the Republican
Committee are talking of a general course
of action which, they think, will exercise
very wholesome effect in the South and pro-
mote the cause of honest Congressional
elections in the future The plan Is e serJ
the election back to the DeoDle in erer, ~ -.
where violence or any species of fraud can
pc clearly shown, and to continue thereaf-
ter to remand the ease for new election
until perfectly free and fair one has 49,

CHILEAN Army Moving Towards
the Capital or Peru.

NEW YORK, December A.-The
Star and Herald, Of Panama, just re-
ceived, has letter from Lima of the
date of December lat. The writer
says: Although the Chilisns are
scarcely n hundred miles of, this
melancholy fact attracts little atten
ton. There can be no doubt of the
result if the army aud reserve fight
well. They are well armed, and in a
general engagement should outnum-
Der the enemy by at least twenty
thousand men. The first division Of
the Chilian army continues at PisoO,
awaiting the arrival of the second.
These two divisions will consist in all
Of eighteen thousand men. They
have occupied TambO, Demora and
Chiucha, while $500 of them have
paid q visit to the town Of
lea, where the customary
scenes OF pillage occurred.
la Pisco, the troops we're allowed to
do al they chose, and innumerable
outrages were committed Several
sugar-cane plantations have been de-
strOyed. The Chilians expect to
march from thirty to thirty. four thou
sand men against Lima, and with this
force they expect to capture the city.
An unlimited sack is promised the
troops in the event of victory. The
Peruvian army is increasing daily in
numbers. Several battaiions have re-
Gently arrived from the interior, one
from Coiamarca having marched nine
hundred miles. The La Ptaria asserts
that the war can be carried into the
Cordilera, and waged there for years
to come. The losses suffered through
out the republic are leading many to
seek safe lodgnent for their valuables.
The principal business men and their
families of Lima are lesving preeipi
lately. taking with them whatever
they can carry. The better dwellings
re being stripped of their more valu-
able furniture, which is shipped
north.

We are told that Georgia repudisted
outright a large proportion of her
Indebtedness, and that now her credit
is as good az that Of any state in the
union. Well, we cannot tell how this
will turn out, but he who supposes
that the battle for state credit in Ten
nesSee has been fought and won that
no further effort is necessary on the
part Of state credit men, does not
understand the drift of public seuti-
ment in the state. 1t win be a shame
and an everlasting disgrace if the
legislature does not provide for an
honest and satisfactory settlement OF
this question this winter. but we
confess that the outlook is not en-
eOuraging. The poison of reputation
has taken a deep hold on the body
polite in Tennessee, and it will require
the exercise Of more skill to eradicate
the disease bar is usually possessed
BY our state legislatures Knoxville
Chronicle.
AS something over seventy members
Of theincoming legislature are pledged
to a settlement of the state debt, we
cannot understand the dependency of
our clear headed cotemporary. When
the election was over we were
informed that the honor of the
state was preserved, and safe beyond
peradventure. A settlement was
spoken OF as a mere matter Of form
which would speedily follow on the
organization Of the two houses and the
inauguration Of Governor Hawkins.
The hand al of loW-tax democrats,
whilst considered as democrats in the
abstract, we're not to be looked upon
as democrats in the concrete of high
credit methods. If the twenty five or
twenty eight low-tlx brethren can
confuse the great majority, even by
reticence, it would indie tie a Sampson
like strength We agree with the
Chronicle, that it will be a disgrace il
some settlement is not made by the
nerslegislature. 1.-THE high-tax demo

Of good faith with their constituents
and the bondholders, thes will dispose
OF this question. 1t has been dis
eussed enough. The people ar tired
and sick Of it. The opposition recog-
nises the result and all the cOnse-
quence. The 5000 democrats who
voted for Wilson say settle it if you
will aud can on any reasonable terms.
The utmost that they will agree to is
probably 5O-4. Certainly not beyond.
We would advise the bondholderS to
take this it they can get it whether
coupons are made receivable for taxes
or not. Another mistake or two, an
other financial crash, and the people
will be fully prepared to repudiate
the whole debt, and this feel
log is not confined to one end Of q
party, or to one party. The bond.
holders ought be thankful to get
A-and 4 on their claims, aud if they
stand out much longer AMI issue a
few more dietatorial circulars it is
doubtful whether they will get more
than 33i. The debt should be settled
on a business like, common sense
basis, and taken out Of politics. We
will soon see who wants it settled, and
who vas most in earnest in the late
canvass.
