The Republican prcsi is busy In announc ing that Democrat have quietly settled down tojthe conviction tlint Have Is elected, and have given up the contest. What renon can be given for such a supposition we lmve sot yet heard. Everybody knows that each day brings about something favorable to the Domolrat.. The Congrcsjional committee now making Investigations In the South concerning the Intimidation of colored vot er will undoubtedly report that many of the statements on which the votes of whole parishes were thrown out by Republican re turning boards arc utterly false. The terri ble I'itilcstou tragedy on which theppoi tlori placed so innch reliance proven to be the story of a miserable prostitute, wholly unworthy of belief. In F.orlcU the whole question Is being overhauled by the Court, and we have no doubt that It will decide that the State was carried forTilden. The South Carolina congressional committee will report that Hayes curried the State and the Democrats elected the Governor and a ma jority of tho Legislature. It is hard In say jnst what will be done in Louisiana. The congressional committee is busily engaged in taking testimony, much of which goes to show that Tilden curried the State fairly. They are also unearthing intiumcrablefrauds that were attempted to cheat him out ol it. If Florida can be clearly shown to have gone for Tilden, we think the difficulty !s at an end, because no honest Republican in ei ther House of Congress will support an at tempt to accept fraudulent returns. We be lieve that theie are honest men enough in Congress who are willing to be governed by law and right and who will not be tho tools ol Grant, Cameron, Chandler, and the horde of howling office holders nho are insisting on the inauguration of Hayes at all hazards, to settle the question, and when it is settled by them, whichever way it is. the people will accpt It as the verdict Irom which there is no appeal, democrats arc not quiet from conviction of defeat, but because tbey bare an abiding faith that the law and the Constitution of the Nation will be respectel and that the will of the peoplo shall prevail over fraud and corruption, and in this faith they rett secure that Tilden will be the next President. BLATANT FOItNKY In one of its paroxysms of rage over the aucccsso( the Democratic party, tin 'no says ; John Sherman, Frederick Krelinghuysen, Benjamin F. Duller, Jatnci Rimel Lowell, John I Jones, even Governor Hayes lilui elf, have beeu appealed to by these sinking accession sympathizers, and appealed to in vain. And now Roseoo Conkling, of New York, Is put forward as their liberator, and why? There i scarcely a statesman of either party who has not beeu honored at some time or another by the abuse of this man Forney. He assaulted the character of Hartranft, abused Cameron nnd Grant when in a virtuous mood, and then :slaudered Trumbull, Schnrz, Kenton, Sumner, and other prominent Republicans. He now at tacks Conkllng for daring to do what he be lieves to be right. And by what right does this man Forney censure the acts ol others bis superiors in Intellect nnd honesty ? His patriotism dur ing the war consisted in getting fat contracts for himself and friend. Later, he distin guished himself by taking $5,000 from the notorious Kvans in consideration of helping the Utter to rob the State of $-300,OtH). Again, the Pacific Mail lobby paid him 'f33,000 for his corrupt influence in getting them a Government subidy. In the face ofthese facts, it is not for such men as Forney to impugn the motives of honorable, men. THE (JOYERNltR'S MESSAGE. We are Indebted to Governor Hartranft far an advanced copy of his annual message. His allusion to national ;ithtlr.s Is very brief, and ia comprehended in the following para graph: The vear has closed with very little change In the commercial condition of the country. During last spring and summer there were Indications of the revival of con fidence and a 'slight increase of trade; but the excitement attending the election, and the delay in announcing the result, appear to have checked the movement nnd revived thn nrfnrt nf InnrllviK- TIia (nf .(' ""rary movement, however, has given r se to a reasonable hope that we have readied the close of the panic and the beginning of bet ter times. It will be our duty to contribute to that end and indirectly aid in restoring confidence, by a wise economy In appropria tions, a careful management of finances, and a conscientious discharge of our official du ties. It will thus bo seen that the Governor does uot claim that Hayes is elected, and administers a wholesome reproof to the Rad ical leaders who are endeavoring to foM a President upon the people who was not elected. The financial couditiou of the Stale is not flrratlfvinir. The revenues have fallen ntV ' considerably. To meet maturing obligations ine uovernor rccoimueuus an auiiuiouai loan at five per cent interest. The other subjects are ably bandied, but are too dreary for general use. A STAY LIW. Many of our subscribers have urged us to call public attention to the necessity of the Legislature making some provision for the ifllcl of the people in this trying emergen cy. The sherill'aud constable! are sweepin; away many a home ait the dictation id' re Itntless or needy creditors. It Is also true that the pries realized are uot more than Pi-half tho. value of the goods sold. It Is oat the Legislature has heretofore I to prevent wholesale bankruptcy futreiss. l!ut the question lias two .and the rocr plan is for the people Iillon tlieir Representatives, ami let Tcarefully consider the question In all tearing. M on J - -' Kuturolng IJuard. THE Tile Lectin cf Louisiana. The events which transpired In Iiuislana Tuesday aro significant far beyond tho prac tical Inauguration of tho Tilden State gov ernment nnd judicial nuthorlty lu that long plundered and distracted Commonwealth. Tho peoplo who gave Mr. Nlcliolls ten thou sand majority at tho polls In November, as sembled with quiet but fearful earnestness, to put Into their proper official trusts lhoe who had been called by an overwhelming vote to administer their government. Tlioy had to bravo all the orgaulzed power of the State authorities, and, as they feared, nil the organized power of the State authorities, and, t.s they feared, all the power of tho na tional government, but they enmo In the name of the law to restore a tempest-tossed community to order and peace by the law and In severe otadienco to Its mandates. How far they succeeded, and by what means they achieved thtir success, our full special and general reports from New Orleans fully explain. The day closed with tho Nlcholls administration in IndUputed possession of the police of tho city, of the court', and practically the recognized and lawful gov, ernment of the Stale. True, the carpet-bag pretender, Packard, is in possession of the Stato House, surrounded by a few trembling militiamen who could be swept away by any demonstration that seriously threatened an attack upon them, but the friends of tho u premacy of nn honest ballot resorted to no violence, and it is evident now that they make no miscalculation In assuming that a day or two at the latest must utterly and forever dissipate the whole carpet-bag dy- nasty, unless tho bayonets of the Federal army shall interfere to protect them. Gov ernor Nlcholls published a proclamation yesterday that breathes the most patriotic tone' nnd it may now be accepted as reason ably certain that there will be no violence In the dying throes of tho most disgraceful and despotic political domination that ever cursed any country. It Is not doubted that the lawful authority of Governor Nlcholls will be speedily recognized by n majority ol the Legislature as returned even by tus ivel Ingg Retnrn Hoard, If there shall be nocoer clvo measures adopted by President Grant, nud it is not now certain that the power of Federal bsyonets would be sufi'icicnly uoteu tial to hold the Legislature from disowning the Packard usurpation. It is known that ex-Governor Wnrim'.utli is preparing to letu? a revolution within thelCellogg party against the palpable Kellogg election frauds, nnd the recognition of Nlcholls by nil the im pnrtant departments of authority nnd by a large majority of thoe who toted against him, is now assured unless there shall lie some unexpected folly committed by the Til den lenders, or some inconceivable revolu tionary niea-ure adopted by the President. Such is the histoiy of an eventful day In Louisiana; but the pointed lesson for the country is in the ollicial dispatch of Secreta ry Cameron sent to General Augur, com mander in New Orleans. The repeated aud importunate cries for "more troops" from Packard aud his fellow-pretenders called a protracted Cabinet consultation yesterday, and the result of it was that General Augur was instructed to notify all lawless organi sations to desist from any disturbance of the peace, but. added tho WnrMiuiier,'7.e(iV in mind Hie act iAaf thin order hat no rte, ence to the reroyiiition of either of the claim- anUor Uoccrnor oi fi'rA.'i ,tiilnture." This is notice to Packard that his cause can no longer bu sustained by the national ad minis traiiou and that he must bow to the tover- eigu will of the people of Louisiana. It is a repetition of the policy that surrendered Florida to the verdict of her own people, ut ter exhaustiye ell'urU to fasten another carpet-bag government upon her by fraud, and it leaves tLe whole gang of Kellogg plunder era without any other suppoit than the fee bio following they cau rally from their own now hesitating confederates. A month ago Secretary Cameron seemed to consider it a matter of amusement to have his bayonets gleam from the doors of the South Carolina Capitol, to inaugurate a Governor aud Leg islature that nobody believed to have been elected. In that Statu the electoral vote was practically free from dispute, and the revolutionary Intervention tif tho adminis tration was intended as u lessoj to the coun try that the might of the sword was to settle the Presidential election; but gradually the omnipotence ot honest public opinion readi ed even the urrogaut Cabinet Ministeis, and Florida, whose electoral vote is in doubt, was allowed to inaugurate a full Tilden ad ministration and Legislature, and now Lou isiana will do the same without the sword being drawn to hinder the victory of justice. Mr. Secretary Cameron is evidently a wiser man to-day than hu was a few weeks ago, and it is evident that ho has at la-t learned tho lesson that law and honesty have some rights which even Cabinet Ministers are bound to respect. Slowly but surely the Presidential problem is reaching n just -olu. tion, and law and peace will triumph in the vindication of the purity and majesty of free government. limn. lllMMuilOltK VAXDKKUIHT. After an illness which for months past has been expected almost daily to'icriiiinule his life, Commodore VanderbiK died In New York on Thursday, the -Ith inst, ut eleven o'clock a. in., nt the ae of eighty-two He was kuown throughout the country as the "Riilro.td King," as he had about W.ODJ,.

He began life as a poor boy, the owner of a small sailboat, and by his in- .limit table energy he became the proprietor of steamship lines and whole railroads. He was not noted tor his piety, was exceedingly foud of fast horses, and never allowed any one to pass him on the Hatleiu lane. Concerning the charities ut the Commo dore during his life all Is not known, arid never will be. The last years of many an old soul he kuew In his younger days have been softened by niiinillcent pensions, an I much has been given frtui his purse for pri vate charities. Wlut he g-ivo he cave out right and usually unsolicited, llereltiscd most isitlvely to annex his name to sub scription papers, nor would ho allow his wife, who was u member of tli Chuieh.ol tho Strangers, a free church, to subscribe any givei amount toward the support of tin pastor, though she nilgbV and did deport with a liberal hind In the cuntilbutiou box. A short time ago the announcement of his death, at tho Slock Ktchange, cau-t-l the wildest excitement, but It has been looked for sj loug that when It came it did not pro duce as much of a en -.itioii as thosli-grace-ful Ilninett-May iill'ilr of a l.w days pre vious.

The speech of Senator Wallace, on the question of counting the electoral vote, de livered In thsScnato on the 8th Inst., was rccdgnlztd by both Democrats and Repub llcans as the ablest explanation of tho Dem ocratlo theory on the subject yet delivered In that body. He was warmly congratulated at the close, and a number of gentlemen called on him in the evening to compliment bun upon his effort. Tho following Is tho full text of n proposition submitted by Mr. W allaco ! Mr. Wallace, (Dem.) of Pa., submitted thr following resolution : Jleiolred. That the sDCctnl committee on counting the electoral vote bo Instructed to Inquire nud report to the Senate the follow ing propositions: 1st. Klcctors of President of tho United States are a part of tho machinery of the Federal Government. 2d. Tho power to appoint .hem is ln tho States, to bo exercised under tho restrictions and guarantees ot the feilcr.il constitution. U. Tho noner to ascertain who has been elected Presldint and Vice President of the United States by counting Hie electoral vote is a uuasi iudleial one. and carries with it the right to inquire and decide what are votes, 1th, This power Is In tho two Houses, act inir concurrently as Independent bodies. oth. Kach house may examine both facts and law to enable It to determine these ques tion": First, Are the returnsol the Klecioral Colleiri's beloie them the true returns? Sec ond, Were the votes therein shown to be cast given by those appointed by the Stale to office of elector of President ol the Uuit"d States? nnd third, as the appointment ot electors made, and were tho voles cast In accordant with tho provisions aud guaran tees of the Federal Constitution? Gtli. The certificate and seal of the execu tive authority of the State, made under the act of Congress, is prima facia proof of the appointment ol nn elector ny me state. This mode of nroof may be overthrown by tho decision ol the highest tribunal of the proper State, nr ol too untteu suites, or it may be contradicted by evidence of a plain mistake or palpable fraud. 7th. When two returns come from n State the two houses acting concurrently must de termine which Is thu true return. 8th. No electoral voto can bo counted without the concurrence of both houses. Mr. Wallace, in oller'uii! the above, said : Thcso propositions imbody my views of tlie law. When we settle what the law of this subject is wo have a safe path out of our dif ficulties. Wo will bow' to the law definitely ascertained. It is our duty to learn this, to recognize its power, and to obey it. The first iiroiiosilion is s-1 1 evident. It needs no nroof. The second will not be disputed, for all admit tlie 1 ilt .l Constitution to be the stinremo law The third le-seils that the power to count tho v ite is not ministerial hut is quasi-judicial, and curies with it tlie right to inquire und decidn what aio votes. The tribunal that counts tho vote must indue of inductions of the couctittition If it is objected in joint meeting that votes were cast for an alien for President or for one under thirty-live years of age, or for one non-resident for fourteen yeais, is there no power to inquire nnd decide the truth ? Mu-t the voles he counted? How are the questious to be settled.' lly debate or by ju dicial inquiry? Or suppose tlie vote cast for a Senator, or a Federal ju'ge, or unre lieved rebel is there no power to inquire as to the facts aud to deeidi? Or, if the vote was cast on the wrong day, or not by ballot, must we count the vote? Of, if a State college (.tes for citlens ol its Slate for both oliices, can we not inquire? What is the Oregon inquiry now going o l? What are all these iumiiries but the hicli'st eer- ciso of judicial power, the application of constitutional law to u given state ol Met) V Siiicly such n power is not merely ministe rial. If n State constitutes its election tri bunals so as to deny the clear right of citi zens of the United States, can wo not in quire and correct the wrong? If one return bo sent by a State, and before it reaches the President of the Senate an irrepressible ami unconstitutional tribuunl is interposed which denies rights of citizens of the United States, ur if plain mistake r palpable fraud, bu shown, can we not inquire, and judge and apply the remedy? If this bo mi in counting the ote, we do not decline, but we cancel and nullify it. Tne power to count is given In some tribunal, ami thu means to reach that end follow by ncces-nry implication. Ho argued that this power was in the two houses of Congress and not in tlie President of tho Senat-1. The two houses have local lcnowlcdgo which he has not. All the great towers of go 'eminent are in o;,ngre.s,whilst he has no vole in the body over which he presldei. This is a great power, and would be lod;ed where most likely to bireicisjd with judgment and uudei rf sp uisiliility. The two houses are equal. They lix the time of choosing electors. They are present when the voto is counted. Tho hing iuge does not give the power to the President of IheSenaie. lie is not the presiding ollicer ofthnjuint meeting. The .-ocn'.c is there us a Senate. Thu House is theiu a a lloiue equal in dignity. If a President o temjrrc can count the vote, whose power don ln ex ercise? his own or that ot the Senile' If the former, he is greater than hisrre.itor. Thu Senate can di-pluco him 1f ha r fuses to obey lliclr wi 1. If he exercises their power then the Senate is above its in iqual b nlv, the llmi-i'. Until are present. I) ith or nei ther count, Can it be that the -aaie cl me which clothes the Vice President, an inde pendent ollicer, with this power, also vlutho a ilepemlent ono therewith; 1 hp words "all" nnd "thru" show that the certillcHes mu-t nil lu opened before, the counting begins Counting is adjudicating. The I're-idi-ut of the SenHte. is tlie avenue of l oniuiuuieali in When his duty is dono the duty of tho two houses begins.

"When the returns nro opened in Febru ary," says the Chicago 77im, "tho fraudu lent voles will bo rejected by the Houso and tho legal votes by the Senate. Tho gravity of tho political situation, wo are glad to see Is making mere partisanship odious to thoiightlul people of both polltf cal parties. Let this feeling dominate con gross, nnd tho (rouble will bo oyer. A", Y. It was tho Howo Sewing Machine Com pany that ordered the discharge of nil its employees whojvoted for Tilden. This at tho suggestion of A. H. Stockwcll, once president and principal gambler of Pacific Mail. On tho Presidential problem Mr. William M. F.vnrts is reported to have eiid : "There Is no use In making such n fuss about the case; the remedy Is perfectly clear, and the courts nro constantly applying it. The thing to do is to put the Pre:ldent into the hands of a receiver, wit'u power to run the concern ana collect tho debts." If Andy Johnson had been guilty of one half the offences against tho Constitution and the laws that have been committed by Grant, during his administration as Presi dent If there had been one-tenth of the ev idence that he had been engaged in conspi racies ngainst the liberties of the people that exists against Grant in regord to revolution ary measures in Louisiana and South Caro linahis impeachment trial would not hate ended in a failure to convict. William i'itt Kell ; lias ordered that the prosecution ho discontinued in tho caso of Dive Young, a color-d statesmen of Louisi ana, who was under indictment for stealing $21,000. Young happens to bo n State Sen ator, and his vote will be needed in the Le gislature, which is to elect a United States Senator. Resides, ho is a Republican who doesn't part Ins hair in tho middle.

LcverettS.iltoust.ill, an eminent cit izen of Massachusetts, who went to Florida nt Mr. Hewitt's request, agrees with Gen. Harlow, ol the President's commission, that Tilden faitly carried the State, but tlili'ers with him as to ibe honesty of the Canvas sers. His opinion is th.t the action of the boaul was a "plot conceived and carried out in fraud in accordance with thu telegraphic order fioni Washington on thu Sth uf Dec ember, to claim Florida and held it for the Hnyr-s electors." In the -ejection of the nomination of Mr. Ciishing, for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, tho wisdom of the Senate is now manifest. Mr. dishing has given tho seri ous opinion that a crisis inav arrive when it may bo incumbent upon Gjniral (rant to hold over until another election. It would seem that Grant is precipitating such n cri sis, and it Mr. Cushlng were Chief Justice, his revelations show that ho would bo it sup p )"ter of Grant. The Senatu has much be fore it requiring equal vigilance, aud the exhibition of patriotism and firmness in no mall degree. The following extract is from a speccfi mado the other nignt at Peoria by that bla tant infidel, Hob Ingersoll, a shining light of the Republican party : If there is a Democrat here 1 civc him warning that Samuel J. Tilden can netcr be inaugurated. I had lather see another war than see him inaugurated through the means of that hound in Oiegon. Rutherford It. Hayes will be inaugurated mi the fifth of Maich next.

There cannot bo too iriio l a day on which to inaugurate a Republican rrcsuicnt ' ' ' i ho Kepuolieao party will never turn this Government over to Democrats. If lUyes doesn't go in, no body will.

This evening at 7.30 tho Legislature re assembled after their holiday of nearly a week. It ttiis expected that tho standing committees of the Houso would bo announc ed to-day, but owing to tho Speaker's neces sarily limited acquaintance with many of the new members, he concluded to give the subject still further consideration. Thero are plenty of wiseacres who profcsjpo know all about the matter, but as we do not think it safe to accept their prognosticating, wo will await theolIiclal announcement. Until this Is made, all business is lu abeyance, the two Houses meeting only to adjourn over until the important matter Is settled. It is rumored that ono of the first items on tho programme will bo a resolution on the Presidential muddle, Intended to strengthen the hands of Secretary of War Cameron nnd the Republican Senators and Representa tives at Washington, The Democrats have been putting their heads together to fix up on seme concerted action, should such a roc ulutlon be introduced, but as yet have de termined upon nothing. Sj far but little In terest seems to bo manifested by our Solons in regard to national nll'airs, but if Madam Rumor tells tho truth, and tho matter should be formally introduced in the Legis lature, tho smouldering fires on both sides will bo stirred up, nnd Homo fierce explo sions will undoubtedly follow. Tho advocates of Local Option are mov ing vigorously in support of their project and nro evidently in dead earnest. They held n meeting in this city to-day, and deterinlrcd upon a forward movement along the whole line. Lecturers are to bo sent out over the Stats to work up the local option interest, to appoint committees, and circulate peti tions among tip! people, praying for the re enactment nf tho local option law. Minis ters of all denominations were invited to co-operate in tho movement, by preaching to their people and urging them to stir themselves in favor of te.npjr.ince. It was also decided to hold a convention here in tho latter part of January, and bring all possible pressure to bear upon tlie legisla ture at that time. The bill that they pro poso is essentially the old local optiou law repealed in 187"). Quite a little brcezj who created a day or two ago, by a decision of Attorney General Lear in regard to the pay ot the Assistant SergeanU-n -Amc of the old House, who consideied their presence necessary at tlie organization ol the new House on tlie 2d inst. As has been customary, year after year, the old odicials aud employees rallied to the last man to give tlie Legislature of '77 n good start, and also lo pick up a few crumbs in the shape of ten days extra pay. The Attorney General, however, cruelly sat down upon the pretensions of it dozen or iiiuiu .s3isiam rrergeaui-s iu-jtriiis( uy ueciu iug that they had no legal claim to the lit tle "divvy" upon which they had counted. This bomb-shell exploded among them with terrific force, and a more dispirited nnd de moralized looking set of men we have not been for many a day. Some of the members who spent the re cent vacation in Philadelphia looked a little worn and battered when they blocked back to llarrisburg yesterday and to-day. It was evident that tho seductions of the sinful city on tho Delawaro had proved too much for them. Tho comely ballet girls of the Casino, the wines and suppeis, tlie little game ol draw, anil either attractive etceteras of a leg islative raid upon Philadelphia had com pletely shattered tho nerves of n goodly number. It is unfortunate for tho State that men of this stamp continue to have them selves sent to the Legislature. The evil is not confined to either paity. These iiieu mainly compriso the element that is respon sible for unwise legislation, bribery and cor ruption.

TROOPS AUD MONEY WILL FURNISHED I V.. CUAiNDLER, Conkmnu Spi'.aks. Senator Conkllng has nt last opened Ids mouth ou tho gacat question that agitates the country. On Fri day Iio presented to tho Senato tho petition of a number of distinguished business men of New York, nnd lu tho courso of his re marks he said; "Obedience to lnw, the observance of tho constitution, ami tho maintenance of truth is not a party question or proceeding. It Is beyond party, and nboto party. Parties miiy contend, and I believe it wholesome in n free government that parties) should con tend over measures, and can-dldates. Hut when tho contest has been sub mitted to the ballot-box, tho final arbi trament of popular contests known In our system, the only duty, the only lawful pro ceeding connected with It, which remains, is to find an honest, true result, to declare It, bow to It, and stand by it. That is the duty of the hour, it rests" on the two houses of congres; it rests on tho nation: it rosts on every citizen of the republic. That it will be done, nnd done peacefully, decently and in order, thoo petitioners do not, I think, disbelieve. They, in common with all men, may derive confidence from tho fact that In terest nud expediency, not less than patriot ism nud honor, point In one d' ectlon and tench one lesson. Whoever stands on riaht and truth will not fall. Whoever attempts to stand on wrong nnd falsehood will be overthrown." Atlorney-Ocneral Cocke, of Florida, is a curious species of rooster. lie agreed with other member of the Returning Hoard as to what returns should bethiown out, nnd af ter the Hoard had adjourned entered n loud protest against the notion in which ho had participated. (iatette (C' ISulktin. Our cotemporary is not noted for Its accu racy in statements of facts, as shown by the nbovo paragraph, Mr. Cocke i nil times protested against the action of the Returning Hoard. He was sustained by the Supreme Court of thrStute, which compelled c Dosrd to make another count, which elected the o.itire Democratic Slate ticket. In tlie face of the mandate of the Court, tlie Hoard, howeter, threw out Hiker and Clay coun ties which they had included in their first count as legal nnd lair in tlie desperate hope of counting in Hayes.
