THE chief interest with which Republicans
view the contest is not whether Gov. Hayes
or Gov. Tilden shall be President; not wheth-
er the Republican or Democratic party shall
gain a triumph; but whether, in view of the
temper which has been displayed, the loyal
element of the South shall be turned over to
the tender mercies of the old rebel forces.
The party question is nothing. In mere
party sense, the Republican organization
would doubtless stand as well for the future
to have the Democracy go into power for a
season with all the odium of winning it
through bulldozers and assassins. But it is
terrible to think Of leaving the true men OF
the South defenceless in their hands. 1t is
this which gives US pause.

How will the action of the House of Rep
resentatives in Washington, in refusing TO
allow newly-elected members from Colorado
and Maine, whose rights to seats are uncon-
tested, to participate in the organization of
the House, square with the Democratic claim
in South Carolina, that members of the Leg
islature from Laurens and Edgefeld, with on
ly the illegal certificates of the Supreme
Court, and their title to these notoriously dis
puted, have right TO be counted in the or
ganization of the lower house in that state?
Is it the accepted doctrine of Democrats in
this emergency simply to violate all law and
precedent? Is the contradiction of their
conduct in Washington and in Columbia rec
onciled in their minds by the simple fact that
in each case they have disregarded all statu-
tory and prescriptive restraints upon their
schemes? The Washington matter is the
more odious. because respect for the rights of
the newly-elected members would have had
no influence on the organization. Their dis
franchisement was an act of pure wanton-

THERE are many positions in this world

the American Rifles as part of the Della

Fourth of July at Philadelphia. A band
to accompany the Legion upon that day, is
an absolute necessity, as without one it
could not parade. The absence of a legion
from Delaware, would SUI biect every citizen
of the State-and subject them justly--to
the charge of meanness, and lack Of patri-

The county awaits anxiously the devel-
opements os the Cincinnati Convention. The
New York Herald persists that there will
come out from this convention "a great
unknown, that is somebody whose name
has not yet been mentioned in connec-
ton with the Presidency. There is not 5
man in the whole batch that is entirely free
of suspicion, and it is the general opinion
that when the convention does meet there
will come like a thunderbolt "some great
unknown" that will startle the whole
country. Blaines bonds, Bristow's mules
and Conklings dobbling not wiseley in
fees, will be brought out in Cincinnati, and
as suddenly as the little man popping up
out of the box will "the great unknown"
come forth. The next question is whocan
it he. Certainly some one other than
these who have been named.


One thing that confirms this is the sud-
den revival Of the Liberal Republican par
ty, who declare that they will await the
result Of both St. Louis and Cincinnati
before they will take any step in the Pres
idential movement. The Liberals want a
man free of taint, and none of those that
have been named will accord with this
expressed intention of the third party.
The party at Cincinnati will bid powerful
ly for this support, and as Blaine, Bristow,
Morton and Conkling will not suit, ''the
great unknown must come to the
front with an obsequious bow, ,anda who he
is to be no one is able to tell, ard still
every one wants to know. The National
Convention alone can decide it.

The latest Radical dodge is consent
to an arbitration Of the electoral countin,
dispute by the Supreme Court; but who
is to give a consent which can give the
Court jurisdiction? One sapient Radical
suggests that the President of the Senate
count in Hayes, and then that the At
ney-GeneIal of Hayes obtain a manda-
mus, or gun warranto or INDUCTION, from
the Supreme Court on Tilden, to compel
him to show cause why he be President.
and then the Court give judgment against
him. The author of the suggestion does
not cite the law, or clause in the Consti-
tuition which gives power to the Court to
to issue such writ. But all this is ido-
tic. One day the Radicals say the Presi-
dent OF the Senate has supreme and cx.
elusive power to orutinize and count the
votes and declare who is elected, but OF
the hext day they confess he has not til,
power. The Constitution has in the two
houses of Congress created a tribunal
and none other is needed. Wortd.

into town, for which he pays dollar

it for two dollars and half. He must

kill any party, no matter how strong.
By the way, how much are the DEM
ocratic leaders to pay Donnelly this
year, for helping their party indi-
rectly? AS much as they gave him
last year for helping it directly?"
Our friend need not be uneasy about
Donnelly. He has placed himself
in a position where he can do nei-
ther good nor harm. Venal false

There is probably no intelligent
citizen of this State who does not
wish to have the old railroads bond
debt settled in some way that will
relieve the State of the stigma OF
reputation; and hardly any who
does not acknowledge that, at some
time or other the matter must be
adjusted. The longer it is deferred
the greater the difficulty Of arriving
at an equitable settlement, and it is,
therefore, important that an early
adjustment should be had. Justice
to the State, to its present citizens,
and to posterity imperatively de-
mands that the matter should be at
tended to as early as practicable.


In settling it, however, two i'm
portant considerations ought not to
be forgotten: first, that the issuance
of the bonds was procured by prac-
tising upon the credulity Of the peo-
pie, and that the original receivers
of the bonds were those who con-
cocted and consummated this swim.
die. Secondly, that the real suffer-
ers from the transaction were not
only the original nor the present
holders of the bonds, but the un-
paid subcontractors and laborers
who did what grading was done and
either get no pay at all or were paid
with the deprecated bonds, and the
people who held the State bank cur
rency which was based upon these
bonds, and which became worthless
when the bonds were deprecated.


If these bonds are to be paid,
such sufferers ought not to be over
looked, and if they cannot be found,
or if they cannot substantiate their
claims, the amount of their losses
ought to be deducted from the gross
amount of the debt represented by
the bonds. 1t certainly is not fair
to pay the present holders of the
bonds cent per cent with some sew
enteen years interest for what cost
them only ten or fifteen per cent. !;
and the enormity of this injustice
is aggravated in those instances
where these same men are known
to have participated in the perpe-
tration Of this swindle. Were this a
matter between private citizens, we
doubt whether any court would pro-
nounce the claim legal for the full
amount.
