The Gain. A comparison of tho

that Tilden gained 1,400,000. over

THE SOUTH CA ROUS A BOA RD.
Tho State Dourd of canvassers in South
Carolina, which begins to morrow lu
revise the returns, declares that its
functions are judiciul as well as minis- j
turial; that it has the right to go be
hind the figure submitted by the Coun
ty Canvassers, and throw out the vote
of any county where thcro has beeu
fi aud or intimidation, and, furthermore,
that its action is Anal and without ap
peal. Now, who are the men who
claim the immense powers implied in
this unlimited discretion? .Tht flout".1
ted, consists of Henry K. Ifayne, col
ored, Secretary of State and candidate
lor re-election ; F. L. Cardoaa, colored,

troller-General and candidate- lor re
election ; Win. Stono, whito, Attorney
General ; and H. W. Purvis, colored,
Adjutant and Inspoctor-Gcneral. All
fivo members of this board are there
fore Republicans, all fivo are Republi
can omcers, ana an nve are members
of one of the most shamelessly corrupt
uovernmcnts Hint ever oppressed a
freo State. Moro than this, three of
tho five candidates for ro-election, and
their success depends upon their own
interpretation of the rolurns.
Of tho porsonal character of these
men wo do not choose to speak juBt at
presont. The names ol at least three
have been unploasantly conspicuous in
every chapter of the history of South
Carolina's misgovornment since it came
under carpet-bag rule.
It it now evident that Chamberlain,
who holds tho canvassers by tbechains
of common interest, and tho negro,
Elliot, who holds Chamberlain by
means of certain documents which
would sond that eminent reformer to
the penitentiary if made public, bavo
abandoned all hope of carrying South
Carolina except by means of the action
of this Board. Thoy nolongor pretend
to givo figures to justify thoir claims
of a Republican victory, but sond North
instead charges of wholcsalo fraud in
whito and extensive intimidation in
negro counties, and such phrases as
this :

We are informed that tho Canvass

will throw out tho voto ol corlain coun

It is reported that the small vote
cost for Mr. Lincoln, in Elk county,
arose from the tact that many ot his
friends, knowing that the District was
hopelessly for Mr. Mackcy, supposed
that joke was being playod off on them,
and that the tickets contained the nnmo
of "tho lato lamontcd" dead President,
and therefore struck his name off tho
tlckot.

It will be observod that the borough

friends on the east side of the Mosban
son did good work In this campaign,
as the rosult fully proves. A "Confed
erate" majority of 44 where tho "loyal
millions" claimed 60, is a bad upset for
the "moral idea" party. Burnsido
township, on the opposite side of tho
river from Karthaus township, gave
Tilden 35, Hayes 43, and Snow Shoo
107 for tho former, and 98 for tho latr

THE OXE TERM DOCTR1XE.
The Now York Xatiun, tho most ar- j
tocralic oigun on the Itadical side, in
alluding to this question, says: "Dur
ing the lato campaign both Presiden
tial candidates gave tho "one-term"
theory their countenance, Gov. Hayes
by a voluntary pledge not to accept a
second term, and Gov, Tilden by a
recommendation to amend tho Consti
tution in this direction. Wo gave some
reasons at the time lor thinking that
the proposal rested on a shallow view
rf r-vraa mturt and a Mso y'ni of
principle which undorliea ft hat just
boen subjected, in the tight ol the
whole country, to a practical test worth
wUufo library o'. abstract arguments.
The result ot the test, we think, ought
to be accepted as finally conclusive.
Since the Cincinnati Convention,
Gon. Grant has been as completely
abut off from any hope of another term
as il the Constitution forbade it. We
ought, thoreforo.if thethoory bo sound,
to have had tho Government adminis
tered without any rcterenco to tho po
litical contest, in which the President
has bad no personal stake. But what
it the tact ?
The wholo Governmental macbinory
has boen moro completely diverted to
tbo service of a party than ever before.
From the highest Cabinot officer to
the lowest Custom House clerk, tho
nominal servants of the Republican
party. The Socrotary of the Intorior
has devoted bis time and strength to
organising tho Republican campaign.
Tho Secretary of tho Treasury has
tried to prove that tho ptiblio credit
was involved in the victory ol a party.
Tho Custom House has everywhere
marshalled its force in support of the
party candidates. High officials have
assailed the personal character ol Mr.
Tilden with statements professodly
based on official information. The as
sessments on department clerks and
Icttor carriors havo boon as cxtonsive,
as relentless, and as opon as if the prac
tice bad nover boen condemned or
questioned.
And all this has been dono in an
election whoro it could scarcely bo pre
tended that' any really vital issuo was
at stake ; it has been done by a party
that professed to mako "civil servico
reform" ono of its objects ; it has been
done to elect a candidate whoso lottor
of acceptance consisted mainly of a
declaration against this wholo class ol
practicos; and it boa beon permitted
by a President who once formally com
mitted himself with some show ol sin
cerity and earnestness to basing tho
civil service on capacity and character."
Tin Woulb-bi Vioi President.
William A. W hector, the Radical can.
didato for Vice President, was one of
the Congressional Committeo which
went to Louisiana in 1874 to invest!
gate tho workings of the Roturning
Board. Mr. Wheeler tignod tbe mi
nority report, In which occurs tho fol
lowing passage:
Unon tha aleotlonl In Loulilsu. ai In othar
Statat, dapandf tba right to Ihoir aaat of Sana

l aitad Stntai hlinuilf.

atif lo rrtu( daWard Of Ihn ootro ntreforf cao-
ata ay rwrn avaoaa.
Mr. Wheolor's present views upon
tho Returning Board's methods of pro
cedure would be still moro interesting
than those which bo hold and express
ed in 1874. Whooler vs. Wheeler,
would be vory interesting reading mat
ter just about this time. Mr. Wheeler
sounded tho first alarm in Vermont
in this campaign, but it was so out
landish in tone that be was called off
the stump, and has boen pouting ever
since, and in all probability cannot be
called ont on this important suhjoot.
Hold on "Mao." The editor of the
Cambria Freeman, in alluding to tho
Senatorial election in tbe Cambria
Blair district, relates tbo following
parable : '
Tha llollidayaburg Standard laya thora ara
aaTaral hundred Damoarata In tbat ooantr who

Again be says :

belief that If Mr. Conrud'a oonfereea had it 10

Ohio Optoial. The canvass of this
State tho homo of Hayes has beon
completed, and the Secretary of Stnto
announce the following rmult :
Hayaa, Republican... 330,090

This shows that 25,000 more votes
were polled in fJovombor than in Oc
tober, and that insload of Hayos gain
ing ho really lost, and escapes wilh
loss than 3,000 majority, although tho
three small factions may bo reasona
bly set down as bio friends because the
Domocratio party soldom takes any
stock In political side-shows, relying
more on the intelligence of tho people
than their bigotry and fanaticism.
Jas. F. Millikon, of Hollidaysburg,
Colonel of the Fifth regiment National
Guard of Pennsylvania, hat issued an
order requiring all companies under
his command "to dnll at least three
timet a week, to be roady to march at
short notice, and to make reqslsilion
for cartridges in rase thoy havon'l
enough on bands." The good people
of Blair county need bavt no Icar in
consequence of this order, as tho gal
lant Colonel does not mean fight, but
ia timply waiting to be called on by
hit friend Grant, if the latter should
find it noccssary to elevate Hayes to
tbe Presidency at tho point of the bay
onet. But Hayos will not get thoro,
bayonot or no bayonet. The people ot
thit country bave tome rights which
oven Grant is bound to respect.
u - - 1
Government Tool. Grant has
tent Banditti Sheridan and General
Augur to New Orleant to bore Hayes'
case through. If we are not mistakon
they are both bad augurs, and it would
be better if President Grant could use
tbe tools at his command to uphold the
Union, Instead of destroying It. How
ever, If he prefen the tarn of unborn
generation instead of their praise, let
him go ahead.
CHANDLER PHOTO
URAFHED. The N. V. Il'urfi suys : "A certain
man whoso name was Zachuriuh, went
down from Washington to New York
and fell among thieves, und the thieves
received him gladly, and ho abode wilh
them muny days. And he said unto
them: Behold, have three Slates.
South Carolina is mine, Florida is nnno,
and Jjouiiaim is mine, and there are
nineteen electoral votes in thoso threo.

South Carolina wns not his by fifteen

that certain wise men had boen sent

Stuto ol that man wns fivo thousand

Chandler is Grant's Secretary of tho
Interior, and Chairman of the Rndicul
Xatiunul Committeo. Ho is tho fellow
who, in 1861, when nil truo patriots
were trying to avert a civil war, said :
"Thoro is no use to make such a hell
ot a fuss ; there can bo no peace with
out some blood letting." War came,
but no blood onscd out of tho veins ol
Chandler or any of his relatives. They
were all exempted ; somebody olse had
to do the fighting and blood-letting,
although ho was awful mud at Jeff.
Davis, Toombs and otlior fire caters
who had ofton shook their fists under
his noso. They nil went out to fight,
but Cbandlor never crossed tho Poto
mac. Ho is a bravo knnvo, and will
novor hurt anybody, except in purso.
Tm Army too Small. Tho editor
of tho Sun, in alluding to recent army
movements, in his self-possessed ironi-
cnl mood, remarks: "When, before the
election, Grunt sent troops to tho South
urn Slates, wo were told, in reply to
our denunciation of this unlawlul act,
that it was necessary to protect negro
citizens against intimidation and to se
cure them in the full exorciso of their
rights as voters. Notwithstanding the
presence of tho troops, tho elections
wero carried against Grant and his
party ; and now we are told that tho
result oi theso elections must bo re
versed by tho Returning Boards be
cause tho negroes were intimidated.
It is thus evident that too tew troops
wero sent into those Stales. Tho ar
my thoro ought to hnvo beon moro nu
merous, with a greater array of sabres,
musketry, and cannon. Then the elec
tion would have been satisfactory to
Grant, Chandler, and Sheridun, and
the nltoration ol tho votes by tho Re
turning Boards would not bo noccssary
Decidedly, tho Ilouso of Represent!'
tives was guilty of a great wrong when
it refused last winter to make the army
as largo as Grant wanted.
Military Experts. If England nnd
Russia get into a fight, tho Premiers
of tho two Governments will both bo
men wbo hnvo out grown tho fiery
passions of youth. Gorehakoff, tho
Russian Chancellor, is of tho mature
ago of eighty-seven, and Uenconsfleld,
the English Primo Minisl jr, is sovonly-
ono. Disraeli left tho House of Com
mons and went into (iio Lords because
ho was not so spry as ho once was, and
that ago is telling on him is plain lo
tho observer of his appcarunco. But
in his speech at the Lord Mayor's din
ner tho other day, bo certainly did not
talk as if bo wns afraid of war, even if
ho was of tho lute hours of the House
of Commons. Gorchnkoff is a bale old
man, wbo goes to bed early and takes
the best of euro of himself in every
way. Evidontly ho doesn't feel too
old to manage tho nfiuirs of Russia
during a great war. Thoso are tho
days of warliko septuagenarian States
men, as well as hoary headed generals,
at witness tho Emperor William and
Von Moltko, Thiers nnd MncMahon,
in tho Franco Gorman war.
Inauouration Day. It so happenn,
says tho Now York Sun, that ovcry
twenty-eight years tho 4th of March,
tho dny fixed for the inauguration of
the President, fulls on Sunday. This
occurs next year for tho fourth time
in thu history of our nation, and fol
lowing tho precedent established by
tbreo of his predecessors, tho now
President will tako the oath of oflico
on Monday, the 5th ol March. Tho
first inauguration on tho 6th of March,
was that of Georgo V. ashington on en-
toring on his second term. Tho next
time tho 4th ot March fell upon Sun
day was in 1831, when James Monroe
was tho President elect for tho second
time, and ho, too, was inaugurated on
Monday, March 5. Thu third occur.
re nee ot this kind was in 1840, when
Zuclmry Taylor was inaugurated on
Monday, tho Gtli of March. After
next year tho inauguration, day will
not fall on Snddny again till 1905.
This arrangement will nccidenlly
add 1137,000 moro to Grant's account.
Woll, tho family will need it, if they

Tbo greatest blessing to tho inbred
rascal and the congenial villain was the
decision of Ihe United Stales Senate in
tho caso of Belknap. It draws ! fine
line of distinction between official and
private sin. After driving a thrifty bus
iness in the profits cf putronago and the
vending of trading posts, the inculpated
parly resigns and is relieved ol'all guilt.
The Secretary could have been im
peached, but the private lielknap stands
robed in the garments of innocence.
All this ia conducive to high purify of
oflico and cleanliness of public life.
By parity of construction, when a
Postmaster discovers that ho is ineligi
ble to an clcctivo oflico by tbo fact of
a previous appointment, why should
he not cast oft' his disability by his own
volition? It is as simple a process as
taking off his homespun breeches when
ho courts the pillow ol his repose.
Dales and periods are of no conse
quence. Au antedated resignation will

Our Magua Charta is not yet wrought

beyond smooth working, why not
make the Postmaster General the head

tute the electoral colleges T Let tho
Postmaster of New York and Buffalo
be our Senatorial representation, and
avert all geographical jealousies by a
careful selection from each Congress
ional District according to rank and
emolument ? Tho army can then be
dispensed with ; and it will not bo ne
cessary to make the Custom House at
New Orleans a depot for heavy and
light ordnance,or au arsenal for Spring
field muskets and Spencer rifles of
Mulligan-Blaino royalty. Of course
tho agents thus indicated can be left
in their action to tbe instincts of tho
ox to bis master, and tho inspira
tion of tho ass to the tether of his
crib. Chamberlain would then be in no

elected tbe balance of thoir Stato ticket.
Tho voto on Presidential Elcctort is
divided because of some blunder mado
by tho Radicals, although it toemt
that Hayes has carried the Slate by
perhaps 600. The Democrats have
also a majority on joint ballot in the
Legislature. We havo no doubt ol

Suams. Among the many things
that havo happened to tho essential

tho Oakes-Amos Collar persuasion ol
"Christian Statesmen," who havo plun
dered tho people for ten years past.
Tho Democrats of that Stato have
electod a majority lo the Legislature of

tho gentleman in question after the 4th
of March next. He is ono ot the United
Slates Senators who hat kept hit tin

TRUE TO THE UXIOX.
() the old thirteen States which, by
ihoir united effort, established Amnr-
lean Independence, nine cast their
Electoral votes for Unelo Suminy Til
den and but four for Hayes. Tho fol
lowing are tlioold lluvolntionsry States
which voted InrTildon: Connecticut,
Delaware, Guorgiu, Maryland, New
Jersey, New York, North Carolina,
South Carolina and Virginia. The fol
lowing four of tho original thirteen
voted for Hayes : Massachusetts, New
original Stutet by noro than two lo
one. Let ut nut cheat tho "Old Thir
teen, for we would ba. noopportuni
lj 01 electing U i leo'ucnl uuu it not
been lor them.
It was hardly expected that Massa
chusetts, Now Hampshire and Rhode
Island would vote for Mr. Tilden. Dur
ing the war of 1812, the grandfather's
of the present voters in those States
burned blue lights to guide the llritisb
to the American camp. And the cili-
sens ol those Htutcs have always op
posed foreign wur, but when domestic
violence was precipitated upon the
country in 1861, tbat section of the
Union howled for war just liko so
many hyena's, and fur once thoy volun
teered to fight-BY SUBSTITUTE.
The philanthropists of tbtl section
empliod their prisons and Ihoir alms
houses, and FREED Til KM f by
mustering them in us aiilisliltites to

a success, They bad their criminals
killed off, and Iheir prison and alms
house expenses hugely reduced, whilo
they pocketed llie bonds, bellowing for
a vigorous prosecution of the wnr.
A RAD OMEX.
Notwithstanding tho criminal ap
pearance ol Grant's military orders in
relation to tho southern election, the
appearanco ol Banditti Sheridan, at
Now Orleans, at this timo is tho great
est outrago of all. His conduct toward
tbe citizens ol that section on a former
occasion, has rendored him as odious
to them as Ben. Butler, who had tho
decency to refuse to repair thither
w hen invited. Sheridan is a mere army
tool of Grant's, and fulls fur below tbo
standard of a true aotdior. When Grant
requested Generals Shormnn and Han
cock to place his son Fred, on their
staff, after ho was kicked through Wost
Point, liko true soldiers they both re
fused, knowing very woll that Fred,
was a worthless youngster, and would
never amount to anything in the army
or anywhere cUe. But, when Banditti
Sheridan waa requested to do so, be
replied, "by all means." And to-day this
Govommcnt scion is drawing tho pay
of a Colonel in the Army, although ho
nover shoulders a musket or swings a
tabro, but timply because Banditti re
ports him as being on his personal staff,
although ho does not seo him somo
times for six months. Such aro Sheri
dan and Fred.
A Political Posey. Gov. Kellogg,
of Louisiana, telegraphed tbe Chair-
man of tho Radical National CommiU
tee, on the 15th, saying : "All boll
can't count Hayea and Packard out."
Tho latter is tho Radical candidato for
Governor. As it has been the fashion
ol Kellogg A Co., for four years past,
to count tho Democrats out, ho ex
pects to do the same thing this yoar,
being backed by tho Army, at in tbe
past. Reader, in our judgment, tbo
days of those political pirates ara about
wound up, and it thoy do not flee from
tho country, half ol them will end their
dnyt in a penitontiary. However,
with such mon as Kellogg at the head
of civil rule in tho south, and Banditti
Sheridan to command tho troops, it
lookt a little like hell on earth. But it
it novertholost doubtful whether thoy
can command the forces of that region
at thit timo, for tbe purpose of destroy
ing civil liberty on this continent.
W ait and tee.
A Good Reason. Some of our Rad
ical Iriondt teem to think that the
Democrats make to much ado ovor the
eloction tally in Louisiana and other
Southern Slates. Well, It is known to
all, except bigots, (bat tbe Democrats
carried Louisiana, in 1872, and again
in 1874, by from six to twelve thou
sand votes. Yet, they wore counted
out by tbe present misorablo Return
Board. And it is woll understood that
if a wicked ignorant man commits a
crime tbe second time and escapes ;
aye, more ; it applauded by gentlemen
of the moral idoa persuasion, tbat be
will not hesitate (o repeal it for the third
time, especially when he sect tho United
Statet Army present to back bim in
hit crimes. If tho Democrats are not
counted out; remarkable as it may
seem, they must return their thanks
to the bondholders, who weroafraid to
risk a singlo eoupon on tbo smallest
bond in a contest of this kind.
"Tin Lati Lamented." A tele
gram from Springfield, Illinois, recent
ly electrified tho Continent, by an
nouncing that somebody attempted to
steal tbe body of Ex-President Lin
coin, anil tbat the scoundrels would
havo gotten away with their plundor,
except for tbe accidental discbarge of
l pistol. Well, it was a pistol on a
former occasion that caused tbe con
sumption of so much crape, and
as liko produces like there is
no uso in at frail mortal! trying
to reverse tbe Iswi of. nature. If
pistols kill and save, all should be sat
isfied to let tho laws ol nature

THE POST-MASTER BUStXESS.
Tho Radicals of Oregon, Vermont
and Wisconsin were to short of proper
material tbut they placed a Postmas
ter on tho electoral ticket in euch of
these Statu, which it contrary to tbo
Constitution, and they are therefore
iueligiblo and must be counted out.
Judge Wilcox, of Now York, in re
viewing tho Vermont case, says:
To tlie EMIor of the Xew 'ork World.
Hia : Supposing it true that one of
thu Jlayes electors In Vermont
Is a
nosticaalur, what follows?
, . " tt urn. h
the United Status," it ineligible and
cannot ' be appointed an elector."
Second--If Ihe suggestion be valid
.......i.iamUui. 1 1 1 n .Hiimm
llio fact that tbe Democratic com
petitor of this postmaster must bu de
clared "appointed" in bia stead, then
Tilden will receive tho 185th voto
which is at present in contention.
Third Tho Constitution being man-
datoiy in directing that "each Stale
shall appoint, in such manner as the
Legislature thereof may direct, a
number of electors equal to the whole
number of Congressmen to which the
Slato is entitled, it may bo competent
lor another elector to oo yet chosen,
provided the Vermont Loifislutura bus
directed tbo manner of so doing; but if
tins emergency has novor boon pro
vided for, then no now elector can bo
held, because no Stato can pass a re
troactive law.
Fourth If the Governor ol Vermont
cannot and bow can he? declare un
ineligible person appointed elector, tho
place must stand vacant, and thu Statu
will cast but four votos in the electoral
college instead of fivo.
Fifth Tbe Constitution requires for
a choico "a majority of tho whole num
ber of electors appointcl" not of tho
wholo number to which tho several
Statet are in tho aggrogato entitled
and this difference is very material.
Hence, allowing for tho sake, ol argu
ment that all tlio Stales now claimed
by tho Republicans are conceded to
llayos, the conclusion is that if any
force remains in tbe Constitution after
the stretching to which it bus been
subjected during tho last filteen years,
the electoral vole will stand 184 each
for Hayes and Tildon, and tho election
will be thrown into the House, a post
office thus proving tho rock over which
a party stumbles out ot power.

Tho Psalmist must havo alluded to
thu present period. Tho fact that ihe
Democrats have utilised all tho wrongs
perpetrated on Iho country by tbe op
position fur tho past fifteen years, lor
the benefit ol tbo country and their
party success, is in harmony with the
above. To illustrate still farthor: Our
opponents made voters out of the nogro
irnco on this continent, against tho un-
vernal protest of tbo Democrats, for tbe
purpose of retaining power. A debt
of Till! KK THOUSAND MILLIONS
ol dollars, was created and the bonds
divided among their party friends for
future party use. And, yet, it sooms
that tho Democrats, havo in the recent
eloction, utilised these powerful forces
so completely, as to gain party ascend
ency in tho Government. The negro
voters largely turned in and cast their
ballots for our nominees, and tho bond
holders have takon the ragamuffins by
the throat demanding a lair count, lor
fear of a revolution.
"Vote Actually Cast." On the
10th of Novombor, Ulysses S. Grant,
President ot the United Statet issued
the following order to General Sher
man :
To Gen. Sherman, Washington, D. C:
Send all tbe troops to General Augur
that be may deem necessary to ensure
entire quiet and a peaceable count of the
ballots actually cast. I bey may be taken
from South Carolina, unless there it
reason to suspect an outbreak there.
Tho presence of citizens from other
Slates, 1 understand, it requostcd In
Louisiana to soe that tbe board of can
vassers mrkc a fair count of the votes at-
(107(1 cast.
It is to bo hoped that representative
and lair men ol both parties will go.
' (Signed.) U. 8. Giant.
He demands that thevote actually cast
shall be fairly counted, and orders tien
eral Sherman to see that it is done.
This ia all tbo Democrats ask. This is
all they want, and this they expect If
it is a crime to ask this, and! enmoto
bave it done, then Grant is 1 criminal
for ordering it to bo done. Pittsburgh

Foow or Knaves, Wmcn? The
"bloody shirt," waa the most promt

carried aloft through tbe campaign

ruled this country fur tlio past sixteen
years. Upon the very heels of H ayet'
