The Southern question is treated
at considerable length in the mes
sage of Mr.. Hayes. He expresses
satisfaction with the affairs in the
Southern States and believes that
the South is steadily advancing in
the direction of political freedom and
liberation, and that before long the
ballot in that section will be as free
as in the North. He also expresses
the belief that the era of bloodshed
on account of political differences
has passed and points to the fact
that there is now less intimidation
and violence in the South than was
practiced a few years ago. The
bloodshed era has been succeeded
by an era of fraud and misrepresen-
tation through tissue ballots and
other devices of disappearing the
real strength and disposition of the
colored man, but while he is cheated
in this way his physical rights are
beginning to be universally respect
ed. Mr.. Hayes might have added
that the party that stole the Presi-
dency for him is largely responsible
for ballot box frauds in every part OF
country.

Finger Board for 1851.
Philadelphia Times.

Some years ago a republican Pres
ident and a republican Secretary of
the Treasury decided that Chester
A. Arthur, then Collector of New
York. must be removed from office
because he persistently prostituted
the public Service to favoritism and
proficiency and resisted every effort
of the administration to enforce
economy and integrity in the New
York custom house. There was no
attempt to conceal the grounds on
which Collector Arthur was remov-
ed. The President and Secretary of
the Treasury both stated, in the
most distinct terms, TO the commit
tee of the Senate and to Collector
Arthur himself, that his removal
was demanded by his fragrant de-
baucherv of the public service, and
a Republican Senate accepted the
judgement of the President against
the earnest protest of Senator Conk-
ling, and confirmed Arthur's sue
cessor. The affront of the Grant
leader of New York was resented at
Chicago by Conkling pelemptorily
demanding the nomination of the
dishonored collector for the Vice
Presidency, and he will take the
Presidents chair of the Senate on
the 4th of March next, and one life
will stand between him and the Pre-.
sidency of the United States.
Gen. Sharpe, a relative of Grants
and one of the Conkling school OF
Grant restorationists, was also one
of the federal custom house officers
of New York, and was displaced by
President Hayes for the same rea.
sons which dismissed Arthur
Sharpe was sent to the Legislature
by the party and Conkling made him
Speaker of the House to emphasize
his contempt for reform within the
party, and to make another unerrine
finger board of the Republican reigr
of the future.
A. B. Cornell was another of the
Grant Conkling custom house off
Gals who fell beneath the civil ser
vice reform policy of President
Hayes in the earlier and better days
of his administration, and he was re
moved, because, like Arthur, the ties
timony was conclusive that the New
York federal officials under Gran
had degraded the whole public ser
vice at their command to politica
corruption and profigacy. Conk
ling avenged that offense by making
the rejected Cornell Governor of thu

The cotton factory owners at Fall
River, Mass, have effectually solved
for themselves the problem of pro-
lection. To them protection means
high prices for goods manufactured;
but to their workmen it means star
walton wages for their labor. At
least that is the way it is working
now. There are other examples of
employers who promised better
wages to workingmen if Garfield was
elected; but no o was the cleo
ton i've than the then ,ow wages of
labcrers were reduced still lower.

Gen. GRANT, the great national
pauper of this country, contributed
his share of services toward
placing q Fraul in the White House
in 1876, but has failed thus far tc
receive his reward. Mr.. Hayes
speaks for it in his message in the
following passage, which at the
same time shows the tendency of the
Republican party toward "a monarch.
ial government:
"I commend to the attention Of
Congress the great services of the
commander and chief of our armies
during the war for the Union, whose
wise, firm, and patriotic conduct did
SO much to bring that momentous
conflict to a close. The legislation
of the United States contains many
presidents for the recognition of dis
tinguished military merit, authoriz.
ing rank and emoluments to be con.
ferred for eminent services to the
country. An act of Congress author
izing the appointment of a Captain.
General of the Army, with suitable
provisions relating to compensation,
retirement and other details, would,
in my judgement, be altogether fit.

The grand jury in general session
at New York, presented indictments
against Joseph Hart, Lewis A. Post,
Kenard Philip and Charles A. Bryan,
for publishing in the Truth newspa-
per "a criminal libel' upon General
Garfield. Judge Noah Davis, before
whom Kenard Philip was examined
on the Garfield Morey Chinese letter,
lays down the laws of libel thus: eff
a public newspaper charges a man
with being a liar, felon or forger, the
editor is guilty of libel, unless the
charges are true" Under this rul-
ing Garfield should commence suit
againt the New York Tribune,
Times and other Republican papers
for what they said about him in
1873, provided they lied.

IAMMANY HALL,
New YORK. Nov. 80.


The subcommittee of the Commit
tee on Organization of Tammany
Hall Democratic General Committee,
which was appointed to investigate
the frauds, corruption and intimida-
tion practiced at the late election is
in possession of evidence which
clearly demonstrates that the Re-
publican vote was enormously in
creased by reason of systematic col
o%nization, unblushing Bribery and
most cowardly intimidation of work
irgmen by their employers. AT the
proper time and place these proofs
will be made public, and the sub
committee, believing that a great
deal of information can be secured
through the cooperation of the pub
lie, and to this end invites all per-
sons in the possession of any evi
dence o fillegal registration OF voting,
bribery or intimidation, to commun-
icate the particulars to the Chair
man of the subcommittee at Tam
many Hall without delay, and in this
way expose those who have violated
the purity of the elective franchise,
in order that deserved punishment
may be enforced.

Hon. S. S. Cox has announced
that he will shortly introduce q bill
in Congress for the roapportionment
of Representatives under the new
Ger sus. He thinks that the Consti-
tuition Of the United States requires
that such n measure shall be passed
at The earliest practical time after 81
decenninl enumeration of the popu
~lation has been made. AS it is
purely a mathematical question so
far as Congress is concerned, Mr..
Cox cannot understand why any
body should seek to delay il on par
tisan grounds. He says that if any
partisan advantage is to be gained
by 4 reapportionment this winter
the Republicans will be benefited,
because they control the Legislatures
in a majority of the States, and will,
therefore, control the re-districting
of those States. Mr.. Cox says per.
sonally he would prefer to see the
whole number reduced to $50, but
he has no hope hat this can be done
and is inclined to think that 800 will
be the lowest number that can pos
sihly be fixed, while the probabilities
are that 325 will be the number
adopted. MIR. Cox says that when
the census figures are complete they
will show q population someW hat in
excess Of 10000, 600.

HOW They Work.
Journal.

The County Commissioners of the
counties of Darke and Preble met at
Greenville on Wednesday, Dec. LIST,
to consider upon the Engineers Re
port of the Whitewater Ditch, and
to hear objections of land holders
along the route. After jangling all
day and doing nothing, they adj
journed TO meet at the head of the
ditch and from there to view it south
to its termination. If there is snow
on the ground as there was on We'd
nesday, they might as well take a
trip through the holy land for all the
knowledge that they will get by
walking along the line of the ditch.
But they vii pet their per diem out
of the county treasury. If there is
any honesty in them they will take
the testimony of Judge Wharry, the
engineer of the old ditch and be gov
erned by it, SO far as he engineered
il.

1t is amusing to read some of the
labored articles of "small fry" Re-
publican journals, about flaud and
corruption in elections, and the
weakness exhibited in their efforts
to make it appear that the Demo.
cratic partyis the onlysinner in this
respect, while the Republicans are
all good, plous and moral Christians !
The Republican party since it has
been in power, has been guilty of
the most shameless debaucLery and
corruption in conducting election
campaigns, and in the n just clos
ed, it excelled all its previous efforts.
Ohio and Indiana were carriedin the
October election by the sheer use of
money and lawless colonization OF
negroes, repeaters and ballot box
suffers, and the State Of New York
in the same manner in November.
The vote in Indiana in October
shows an increase of over 80, 00O
male inhabitants more than the cen.
sus takers could find in June last,
and in the counties where the Re
publican vote shows the greatest in,
crease this excess is the largest
which ought to be enough to satisfy
any candid mind that it was a sys,
tematic Republican game, carefully
planned and skillfully executed all
over the State. In Ohio it was the
same. We need only to refer to the
city of Columbus, which returned
1000 more votes than the census re
turned male inhabitants of a Notable
age. Republican employers every.
where were beset by their party
managers and begged and threatened
until they consented, some willingly,
some otherwise, to compel the men
IN Inelf employ TO vote Tor GAR
FIELD. From all over the country
we have we'll authenticated reports
that the workingmen in extensive
manufactures were notified by those
in authority over them that if they
voted for HANCOCK they would be
discharged, but if they voted for
GARFIELD they could rely upon
steady work with them. And this is
the party that bowls and whines
about negro intimidation and bull.
doing in the South! Such conduct
is worse than the negro slavery that
prevailed before the late war, and
unless the American laborer will rise
up and resent the insult and vote
their honest sentiments, it will not
be long until his condition will be
far more degrading than ever was
the enslaved negro.

The New York Herald saws:

During the recent canvass no Jour
mails were so stalwart rs the Repub-
lican papers in Southern Ohio. 1t
made ones blood run cold to read of
the horrors that would follow from
the election of Hancock. Since the
election, however, the Southern mer-
chants of Louisville and other points
in Kentucky have been complaining
of the tone of those Republican pa
pers, and talk about tran sfering
their trade to other markets. We
have discorcred that a Republican
may be very stalwart about election
times, but when he has goods to sell
he would just as soou have a Demo
cratic customer as a Republican.
Now these Republican papers take
up a chorus of friendship for The
South, deny that they ever said any
thing against their brethren" and
urge their brethren to come and buy
in Cincinnati and to be as friendly
as it is possible for brethren to be.
This change is a curious one. 1t
is only another illustration of what
we see every day of the i~nsincerity
of u political life. What the Re
publicans wanted to do before the
election was to elect Gen. Garfield.
Therefore they hOwled about the
"miseries of Southern domination"
Now they want to sell goods, and
they 0 and chirp in the most af
%fecti0nate names about fraternity
and union"
1t shows the devilish hypocrisy of
the Republican Journals, and proves
that their howls about the South are
only to influence simple minded vot,
ers. It's about played out, how
ever.
