owned by Canieron, proposes to talc tlje
initiative. Without waiting for the actiqir
oftho, Congressional committee, .'wjth inde
cent haste aud in an unoonstitutlonal man
ncr, under the spur of the previous question
a set of resolutions wero passed instructing'
Conereas how to Act in the premisos. '
This wo learn is to be followed by nn net
t appropriating one milllo'ii dollars to pit
Pennsylvania on a war footing 1 "Who mid
what they are to fight Is as yet a mystery,
Hut jobs of late have been taarce. A Deri
ocratic Cougress cut off $40,000,000' expen
ses, and a Democratic'House of Reprcscnta
tlves nt Harrisburg held the thieves in check
for two years. Hut now the radicals have
the reins they propose a useless expenditure
of $l',000,000, despite the poverty of Ihe
people, and the fact, ns stated by the Gov
ernor in his message, that the receipts ol the
State for the next twelve years will be in
sufficient to the ordinary expenses of gov
ernment and maturing iudebtedness. True,
a million of dollars would allow some needy
adventurers aud militia generals tomakejn
t splurge men who never did and never will
smell gunpowder aud the thieves would
make a handsome haul, but the people, the
taxpayers, Republicans as well as Demo
crats' would have to pay for the frolic. As
to being "intimidated'1 by such a movement
we have only to say that if Ti Wen is fairly
elected, and nn effort is' made to prevent his
f inauguration by force, the Pennsytcania mili
tia will fiiul full employment at home.
THK PROPOSED1 CONVENTION AT WASll
INUT0N. The Democracy of phio have suggested
the' propriety of holding a grand mas' con
vention of 'the Democratic party at wash
ington in February when the electoral votes
are to be counted, and the proposition is be
ing generally' discussed. While we firmly be-
liev'3 that Tilden and Hendricks have been
fairly and legally elected President and
Vice President of the' United States, we
sannot ace what is to he gained by the Dem
ocratic party by-such a movement. If our
candidates are elected, then let us rely on
the strength of the constitution and the laws
to see that they are duly inaugurated at the
proper time. If they are defeated,tho calling
together of a large body of their supporters
can result in no good. It bears upon its
'face the appearance of intimidation, and
would Serve only to strengthen-the leaders
of the opposition in their determination to
instal Hayes as the executive of the nation.
The object of the convention must be one ot
two things, viz, to rejoice over the announce
ment of the election of Tilden, or to grum
ble at a different result. The first we can
do at home,the other will be apt to engender
bitterness and to stir up bad blood, and can
not end profitably or creditably to tho party.
We speak honestly and fearlessly, and
our views do not accord with thoso of our
Ohio, brethren we cannot help it, these arc
lentiments.
INOItATlTl'UE.
THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBUKG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA.
Every school boy siucq tha creation of
the animal kingdom, has. commenced his
first composition, in, this manner; "The
Horse Js a,vey,i)scnij animal," and no one
has ever thought of denying the proposi
tlou. Lilti fixed fact that this noble brute
is the inost faithful aud profitable servant
that has been placed at the disposal of man.
His strength enables him to perform hi
work, and his lutclligencs enables him to do
the will of his master. Is it not probable
. Hint this saino intelligence enables him to
discriminate between proper and improper
treatment. As horses have intelligence, so
they haye nerves. As they can feel tho sharp
lash of the whip, bo they are affected by
beat and cold. During the cold, weather 0
the present Winter vye have noticed fre
qnently thnt hqrse3 ate left standing on the
street, tied, last 10. mtcuitig posts, witii noili
Inr, wltnte.ver to rjrotect them from tha hp
.M. -- - -- -
verity of the climate, while their Liml nnd
thoughtful owners are sitting in a warm
l .room telling their listeners how many degrees
1 below zero the thermometer stood at six
1 o'clock iu the morning. We have noticed
' tha nm.arent uneasinessof the poor animals.
J thus tied ; they paw the buow, move back
and forth in their tracks, aud look anxiously
" at aver nasser-by, hoping to see in him th
B1' hand that will liberate then1 and givo them
a chance to warm up. Jf any man will tie
himself to a post with nothing over him but
'the cover that nature has given mm, no will
n,s&ou"arrive at the conclusion tint n buffalo
" robe or a blanket thrown over his shoulders
woud be a nice sort of a thing to have
around. And horses have ieelings as well
as men.
It is not economy to leave these animals
thus exposed. JIanyji valuable horse has
been ruined, when left standing In the cold,
after being over-heated. Meonre judged by
their actions. F how us. a man who beats
his dumb brutes, and leaves them exposed
to the storm and cold, and we will show you
man whose wife has felt the weight of his
fist upon her; and whose children look upon
their father with fear and trembling. In
gratitude of man to man isjsbarper than the
tooth of the serpent, but ingratitude to
dumb servants who are unable to resent it
Is base conaidice.
A FKAUll THE PUBLIC.
Wliatover llisy liavo been tho reasons which
induced tho adoption of tho ruto granting
threo days graco on bankable paper they havo
fying ceased to exist. Originally they may
lave been "days of graco" and intended to
bei.elt tho borrower. AW, they nro days of
hardship, and the law is in the interest of
capitalists. Kvcry man should adhere to his
Just obligation?, but it is Unjust to charge a
borrower interest on money which he has not
iijoycd, uorn rale of Interest for which ho
has not contracted. Whatever ho contracts
to do, however, either cxprossly or impliedly,
should bo adhered to.
ThccviWs this. Kvcry noto falling duo
on a holiday is duo the day before, and tho
moro numerous the holidays the larjcr the
profits of bankers and stockholders. Hence,
legislation lias b:en constantly directed to en
large tho immbir of legal holidays for the
benefit of capital, Tfliilo as a matter of fact
ily Sundays, Christmas and July 4th ate
generally observed.
Let 111 illustrate : Say $500,000,000 arc an-
ually loaned by banking institutions id Penn
sylvania, Under b inking Usago this would
realize? in round numbers a profit of $15,000,
W. how including Sundays and legal hole
ays llicro are sixtyoiio iliysin tlio year
say two months, or otic-sixth of tha whole
time for which interct is charged which I
novcr carno'l ; or; on the amount given the
borrowers loo annually ?j,50),O0O in this
tato-aloncl
Hut the facts nro really worse than this
Tho banks not only take thcir intcro-'t in ad
anco fljul compound it four tinres u year,' but
many of them in charging in'orcH 'include
the day. when tho rale is gWen, aud the day
when it is duo.
Let us give another illustration. All notes
duo on Christmas were payable tho' day lifc.
IWe, Christmas being a legal holiday; but the
day before teat Sunday to that the inifc
gained Uco days. The name .was true of New
Years w.tliat four days interest wcro gained
in 0110 week on paper falling due 'on Christ
inas and New Years. Tho paiier falling due
on .New Yeans in this Stato is estimated at
0,000,000) so that tho borrower was pillaged
and the banks enriched on that day to the
tune of nearly ?25,000 1
This is not jctst. Tho remedy is for the
borrower to pay only for the time' lid lias use
of the money. No man' pays for labor for' a
time longer than actually employed, nor should
he for money. No man would pay for thirty
three pounds of batter when he known he is
getting but thirty-one.

LOUISIANA.
President Grant did a wise thing when he
refused to interfere in any way with munici
pal ufl'uirs in Louisiana, except to keep the
peace. If he had adhered to that determina-
lon ho would have done more than any one
expected him to do. Packard, the man who,
though deleated by several thousand votes is
attempting to foist himself upon tho people
as governor, proved his utter inability to su-
tain himself. Nieholls the man fairly elected,
was inaugurated, and got pesscsaiou of tie
police stations, tho court houses aud Uhei
ublic buildings, and organized the Suprainc
Court of the State. Tho people Jlrecogni-
il him as their chosen head, and. finally tbc
epublicau legislature which Lad' been strug
gling Jfor existence began to waver, audits
uiembors, too, turned ovet to.tJie ifemocratie
house. Then it was, when, Packard was
on his last J pegs that Grant weakened. lie
could stand it no loiter aud so issued the fol
lowing order to Gen. Augur :
Washington. D. 0.. January 14. To

al committees now there havo made their re
port. But it is not proper to sit ouietly by
and see the state government gradually taken
oeruatorial honors by illeual means. The Su
premo Co uit set up by .Mr. Nicholls can re
ceive 110 more recognition, than any other
equal number of lawyers convened on tho the
call ot any othercitizcu of the State. A re
turning board existing in ateordauco witii law
and having judicial as well n ministerial pow
ers over the count of the votes, and in de
claring the result of tht late election, have
iriven certificates of election to tho Iirisla-
turool the Mate, a legal quorum ot which
llouso (sM Iioldin such certificates met
andidcclarctlMr. Packard Governor. Should
thcro bo. a necessity lor the recocnitlon of
either, it must be ijlr. Packard. You may
furnish a copy of this to Mr. Packard and to
Jir. mictions.
U. S. ( t RANT, Picsi&Tlt.
Gen. Augur interprets this order as not
changing his duties relative to the iicognition
ithcrof the Stato governments, but Pack
ard interpets it differently, audoutlwstrengtli
of it has demanded of the Nlcholls govern
ment to surrender its autlicr&y to him. Tli
I'hita. Tunes says:
A pretended Suite? rovernment that is

ncen inicic wun rumors ,anu tact ana isncy
have been jumbled together in the almost
inextricable confusion. It was whispered
that resolutions wero to bo Introduced In the
Legislature Instructing our Senators and
Representatives in Congress to "hold the
fort" for Hayes and Wheeler, tin the prin
clplo that tho President of tho Senate had
the power to count and ahnounco tho result
of tho electsral vote. Also that a bill was
to be Introduced authorizing' the Governor
to place the militia of tho State upon a war
footing and making nn appropriation of ono
million of dollars for that purpose. Subse
quent events proved that thu first rumor bad
Bomo foundation In fact, but up to the pres
ent timo the million dollars worth of militia
story can be traced to 110 authentic source
Opinions differ ns to the truth of this latter
fact nnd others j(it as positively nerilnj
that them Is nothing In it. It Is prolnltio
that the inntter was broached in caucus, but
whether it received the approval of the mil-
only or not is certainly not known In didd
ers.
Tlio resolutions upon the Presidential
question which passed the Senate 11 I-YuUt

yico President; alter which follows the res
olution, "That our Senators in Congress bn
Instructed and our Representatives request
ed to let their nctionpn this question con
form to the spirit of this declaration."
The Democrats wero not prep-red for
these resolutions when they wero offered in
tho Senate.and coircquently there was little
concert of action among them ; their ap
position did not materially delay tholr pas
rage. Ily tho timo Ihey came up In the Hottio
on Monday, however, the minority were bet
ter prepared and a red-hot debate ensued in
which Mr. Schnntturly of Fayette, Mr. Mor
gan of Lnwronco and Mr. Jackson of Mer
cer took a promfcient part. A great many
smart things wero said on botli sides, but no
couverts wero made to either and the resolu
tions were adopted in the House as in tho
Senate, by u. strict party vote. Mr. Schnat
terly offered n set of resolutions embodying
tho Democratic idea of the situation aud the
best remedy therefore, but the House' ad
journed pending vote upon them nnd have
not since found it convenient to call them

and Mr. Huhn and his friends have been
well taken' care of by Mr. Myer.
A bill for tho removal of the Stato Capi

outside of the 38 members who represent the
Centennial city in that body. Tho Alleghe
ny members who generally back up the
Philadelphia delegation when the annual
question of removal comes up, aro dead,
against it this year. Country members are
against it on tho score of economy, and it rs
safe to assert that it is already dead
beyond hope of revival. Two liquor bills
havebc.su introduced ono making a lower
grade of license for which tho fee is fixed at
?25, nnd one prohibiting the sale of any al
coholic liquors excepting malt l!qus do
mestic wines and cider. Neither arv likely
to pass. There is much agitation in regard
to a load hill and it is expected that ono

What docs President Grant mean hf theso
declarations to tho agent of tho Associated
Press: "Governor Hayes represents tho
"party which iu the late election tarried all

"Governor Tilden earried all excojU threo of

"In allusion to frauds, ho nucl the majority

I It gives me sincere pleasure to meel you
on this occasion., Born here, ye( sprung from

have assembled tocelebrate, my'love for" tho

I quilled Washliniton In 18(51 with a feel-

boding that I see it menaced by tho shadow
of possibilities before which tlio patriotic
and thmightful sense of tho country is now
pausing and questioning Itself.
In my judgment thedangcris real. There
cm bo safety nowhere, least of nil In tho
National Capital, wheu the President of tho
United State, the Secretary of War, nnd
the Secretary of tho Interior, the two most

I trust tint no such cinerconcy will arise.
Hut the way to prevent it is to preparojfor

words.the presidential voto shall be counted

the lawful President. If neither Mr. Hayes
nor Mr. Tilden has a majority then the

would put it and mean it "by the Eternal!"
he slnll bo inaugurated. Applause.
There is nojmore tojbo said 011 the subject
It is in every way free from complexity.
Compromise is certainly out of the question.
We have had, or we havo not had, an elec
tion, In either event tho Constitution is
plain, and It must be maintained to tbe let
ter. The cfiorlto confuse it by the foment
ation of sectional prejudices is simply a part
of the policy of usurpation, which always
seeks to obscure its plans and methods be
hind mock perils of its own disinterested
ness as well ns with candor on this point.
It has been my fortuno in life to pass much
of my timo iu this beautlfut city upon this
common ground between the North and
South, tho East nnd West and to have met
here familiarly the men and women of all
sections of tho Union. They are all alike
the samo human motires and passions only
differences here and thero in manners or in
idiom, and theso not grouped by geograph
ical lines.
Assuredly they are jolutly nnd equally
concerned in the preservation of their free
fabric, and they ought to be reciprocally
concerned In one another's well-being, bo
cause each member of the body politic is
moro or less dependent upon the rest. When
I hear an excited Southerner inveigh against
the Yankee, I smile and say "He hasn't
traveled." His anger is fleeting and pow
erless, and ho has at least the reason which
misfortune gives for.splenetlc viewsjof lite.
Tho case is different with those who repre
sent the South to be the hot-house of a pe
culiar and cxccntional civilization. Their
impulso is not volatile. It has a deep do
sign in It. It crystalizes into bigotry, and
supplements itself with force, having power
to execute its vengeful, narrow-minded,
mal-lnspired theories,
Tho whole people of tho United States
want, as they need, repose that repose
which will lead to a better, fairer under

Mr. Krincntrout's resolutions.
HierfOj, The coutinucd depression in
business and paralysis of hard timos In the
land are largely due to the uutettled state of
the questious growing out of the reccut
Presidential election :
Whereat, It is the plain duty of every
good patriot, untrammeled by party, to use
his best aud most conscientious efforts to
bring about some fair, peaceable, loyal and
constitutional adjustment of tho difficulty,
declaring that free, full and peaceable elec
tion is the corner-stone of the Republic that
accession lo the Presidency by any candid
ate by force or fraud,for either Is usurpation
which, if acquiesced Iu by the popular judg
incut, will be the death knell of honost
government and American liberty and the
fruitful parent of anarchy, bringing in its
train destruction to the commerce, trado and
credit of the nation aud to tho prosperity
and happiness of tho people, declaring
further that no just decision can be
rendered as to matter of fact without full
disclosure aud proof of tbe circumstances
attending the election in the respective States
where the difficulties have arisen, and which
aro now undergoing investigation before
committees appointed by tho Senate and
House of Representatives at Wahington,
and that no just decision as to the legal
method of counting the electoral vote can
be honestly made without full investigation
of the provisious of the Constitution relat
ing thereto and tho mode and practice fol
lowed by tbe National Legislature during
tho past three-fourths of a century.
Therefore, to the end that the Legislature
of this Commonwealth, as sworn defenders
of the Constitution, the sworn conservators
nd guardians of the liberties, rights, pros,
perity and happiness of her people, eschew
ing party spirit and setting aside the per
sonal ambitions of party leaders, may in this
grave crliis act advisedly in a manner befit
ting its high character and becoming the
renowu of Pennsylvania in peace or war ;
therefore,
Jtttohed, That our Senators in Congress
be instructed and our. Representatives re
quested to spare no cffort( to hesitate at no
