and Mr. Ottendorfer'a opionion ol the

Tildon'a Pedigree," Is all excellent
reading matter.
Ho Mbwmol The President failed
to send his messago to Congress on
Monday, as expected, and we are there
fore without any information as to his
views on the counting-ont process, or
anything olse, this .Tuesday , afternoon.
Counted OfT A telegram from
Governor Jligler, at New Orleans, on
Tuesday romiuuu, Informs us ilmi
Tilden has been counted out in Louis
lana, although the lowest Tilden eloe
tor bad 5,000 votes more than the
highest Hayes elector.
Rkvoiction. The scenes enacted
in South Carolina, Louisiana and
Florida are as revolutionary as it is
possible to become without tho shed
ding of blood. The forbearance ol
tho Democrats is truly amazing.
Cheated, insulted and hounded by the
United States Army, mid scallawags
of all degrees and colors they pocket
all, satisfied that the Congressional
Committees which me now on their
way down there will reveal the truth
and nothing but the truth.
Tni Spiakkhhiiip. The doath ol
Speaker Kerr, made it the duty
of Congress, when it assembled Inst
Monday, to elect a Speaker. Mr.
Baylor, of Ohio, had been acting as
Speaker pro tan In tho absenco of Mr.
Kerr, during the last sossiou. The
Democratic Caucus met on Saturday
night with four prominent candidates
to select from Messrs. Randall, ol
Philadelphia, Cox, of Now York, Mor
rison, ol Illinois,aiid iprotem Speak
er, Mr. Baylor, of Ohio. Hut before
proceeding to ballot the two latter
gentlemen withdrew and a vote being
taken resulted In 73 votes being cast
for Mr. Randall and 63 for Mr. Cox.
Tui End at Hand On Wednesday,
Dec. 6th, all tho Presidential Electors
must meet in their respective State
Capitols to vote by ballot for President
and Vice President. This duty is im
porativ andcannot be dodged. After
this duty is discharged, they must
then make and severally sign three
certificates of all the votes given
by them, each ol which certifi
cates shall contain two separate
lists of their votes ior Presidont and
Vice Prorident, to which certificates
must be attacbod official lists of tho
electors, furnished by the Executive
ot the Bute, ono list to be sent by spe
cial messenger to the President of tho
Senate, ono to tho same officer by mail,
and ens to be delivered to the Presi
dent Judgo of the jndicial district in
which tbe electors have mot.
' CoNORtss. This body assembled on
' Monday, and with but little ceremony
eleetod Samuel J. Randall Speakor by
a vote of 181 to 82 for Gen. Garfield,
with a few scattering votes for other
parties. After the Speaker was qual
ified, Mr. Hewitt askod unanimous con
sent to offer a resolution asking for the
appointmentof three select committees.
Prompt objection was made by a num
ber ol Radicals.
Mr. Hewitt then moved to suspend
the rules and adopt the resolution, and
after some little debate the rules were
suspended and tbe motion carried
156 to 78 a party vote, except that
Gcorgo A. Baglcy (X. Y.) and Messrs,
Pierce and Seelye (Mass.) voted with
the Democrats.
A Committee was then appointed to
notify the President that Congress was
ready for business.
Tbe Speaker announced the appoint
ment of the South Carolina commit
tees as follows : Messrs. Saylor, Ohio,
Abbott, Massachusetts, Stenger, Ponn
nylvania, Eden, Illinois, Jones, Ken.
tucky, Phillips, Missouri, Banks, Mass-
achusetts, Lapham, Now York, add

Adjourned.
I ns lima. Ono of Grant's do
teeOres, who waa on ship-board with
iwjed during his voyage to Spain, in
troduced himself to "the Boss" tbe day
previous to landing on the Spanish
coast, as a newspaper correspondent,
ana commenced interviewing "the
Boss." But he would not be punished
in that way. Finally, the Grant sneak
propounded a number of questions bv
writing them on a card, banded it to tbo
. foresaid, and told him to answer at
bis convenience. - One ol theqnestions
waa, ."Having been warm personal

would reveal somo very damaging facts
bearing on tho character of Samuel J.
Tilden, who, as they alleged during the
campaign was a bosom iriend ofT weed's
for many yean, and could thorcforo
unbosom some potent facta. But tho
first plot wus a failure. No rewards
amounting to very much wore, offered,
and over three months time had been
consumed in the voyage and still noth
ing damaging to the character ot Gov.
Tilden was elicited. Thcso Washing
ton rogues aro always AMI ol schemes
and plots, and having failed in their
first scheme, they cast about for an
other, and that was to announce the
arrest of Tweed on the coast of Spain,
and demand his return by tho Spanish
government. This they supposed would
be refused, and thereby create a No
tional sensation very damaging to the
prospects of Mr. Tilden. This enter
prise was also a failure Spain said
take him along. This was the second
defeat, aud yet no sensation. Well,
the next move was to ship the Boss
at Vigo, Spain, and ticket him for New
York, and land him thore about ten
days before the election, and then pro
duce a double-headed sensation, and
upset Tilden altogether. But this was
also a faiure ; the ship did not make
port for three weeks alter the election
And the result Is, no rewards were
cribbed, no sensation was produced
and Tildon is elected President, the
Boss is in Prison, and Grant's detec
tives had all thoir trouble for nothing.
1XELW1BLE ELECTORS.
Tho Radical party is so run down
with office-holders that the leaders
wore unable to find Electors enough
in four or five States, and were com.
jicllcd to jump on a number who were
notoriously disqualified by tho Consti
tution. As an instance: The Radical
grcenies of Rhodo Island placed the
great Centennial engine man, George
II. Corliss, on their Electoral ticket,
and discovered nrtrr the election that he
was a Centennial Commissioner, and
therefore ineligible, but so determined
was tho "moral idea" brood of the po
tato patch State in keeping him on,
that a few took it upon themselves to
take tho raso before the Radical Su
preme Court, and that tribunal has de
cided that Mr. Corliss was ineligible
and could not serve as an elector. To
render the leaders of the Radical par
ty still more infamous in tho esteem of
all sensible men, the Governor has call
od an extra session of the Legislature
of that State to fill tbe vacancy. As
tbe Radicals of that Mtate were loolisb
enough to voto for an elector who was
ineligible, they deserve to lose him,
and neither common sense nor law can
remedy an evil of this kind after tbe
wrong has been committed. Suppose
tbey bad placed ten-ycar-boy, or a
mulo on their ticket, could the farce be
remedied after the act had been com
mitted? Are not export facto laws for
bidden? We are aware that during
the war ior tbe abolition of slavery
that this was tbe cure-all for every vi
olation of tho Constitution. But tbe
cure was as gross a violation of all law
and common sense as tbe transgression
it attempted to cure. But of such is
Radicalism. Folly and crime are tbe
chief component parts of tbo conspira
tors against liberty and free govern.

GEXERAL RUG EE'S MAX.
Tho outrageous conduct of General
Ruger at the Capitol of South Caroli

led everybody. All aro therefore in

tbe character of this man Dennis, who
makes and unmakes Senators and As

Dennis is exactly the kind ol a crea
ture that corrupt men liUs the Camer
ons employ to do their damnable work.
Tho Camerons always employ con
genial spirits, and through the crook
edness of this fellow, Dennis, tbey have
also disgraced Gen. Ruger as a soldier,
and wrought bis downfall.

This Camerou slave is greatly alarm
ed nt the fate of his "colored brother"

To still further Illustrate the ideas of
his diseased mind, in alluding to the
election in South Carolina, ho says:

la it reasonable to suppose tbal
novae
those overwhelming Confederate ma
jorities, in districts steadily Republican,
would have occurred without that rifle
policy of intimidation which has pre
vailed throughout the South? And
yet because tbe men claiming to be
members of the Legislature who simply
represent these villainies were not ad
mitted among those duly elected at
Columbia, Wade Hampton and bis co
horts secede."
By a similar illustration wo can prove
far more outrageous frauds in Penn
sylvania, and for genuine boll-dozing,
throws South Carolina, or any other
State in tbe Sooth, in the shado. As
tbe Louisiana Returning Board pro-
poso to count JJayea in by throwing
out five parishes, beeause they have
voted differently from what tbey did
in 1874, and therefore must have been
bull dozed or fraudulent, could not a
Domocratio Returning Board be ap
pointed in this State to throw out the
five counties hereinafter named, in
which the voto is so entirely changed
from that of 1874 that it has given tbe
vote of the State of Pennsylvania to

Was not Pennsylvania bull-dozed or
Cameron-dozed in some way, and should
not the above-named counties be thrown
out of the count?
Now, how is that for bull-dozing
right here in the State of the Camer-
ons? What more proof need we cite
to prove tbat far greater frauds were
committed in our own State, than there
were in tbe late slave States ? A bolder
showing of fraud than that demonstra
ted in Aiiogoony county was never
put in figures. But then, it was done
in "loyal Pennsylvania," and not sin
in the eyos of modern "Christian States
men" of the Cameron persuasion.

Well, if there lives a more con tip
gent creature on God's foot-stool than
Korney, we have nover beard of bim.
He is as much thing, in tho bands of
Simon Cameron, as tbe gate tbe Honor
able Senator awings when he passes

a human being as aver darkened the

a pair of twin bastards, and can never
be imitated by honest men,
Impcdinci and Bbass. Tne Radi
eal leaders assume to be the custodians
of all tbe Intelligence, virtue and nec
essary qualification! to govern and
rule this country, yet, results experi
encod on every hand demonstrate that
they are onfit to properly conduct their
own party affairs legally, much less
to govern tbe Stales of the Union, as
contemplated. Just look at the blun
ders committed in the selection of elec
tors, and the open violations of the
Constitution by tbo leaders of this
"moral idea" party. Tbe touch of
their party leadora is as fatal to liber-
ty, as defined by the laws of the Un

ments in the South, say a : "We earn

erate no Federal interference in this
affair of purely State conoern. The

is good advice, but then, Giant-has

GEX. SHERMAN'S REPORT.
General Sherman has finished his
annual report as chief of the army.
In it be says :
"Tho aggregate force of tho army
now consists oi 25,331 men, all of whom
are actively employed as though war
existed, lly the subdivision of terri
tory rwiy foot of tlu country ia under
the supervision of a general officer
near at hand, with a part of tho army
proportioned to tho supposed necessity
to muintain ordor and peace, whereby
the settlement of the country may
progress and the civil officers be ona
bled to enforce tho laws ol the United
Slates."
This will show how completely the
imiiuiry jiowor pervades our system as
alpresent administered. The previously
opinion has been Hint tho civil officers
in times of peace ought to get ulong
without having a detail nt federal
troops near at hand to back up their
civu processes llmt the Ntnto author
ities were the ones to give tho needed
support to officers enforcing civil
processes but the abovo shows that
that ia a falsa opinion as applied to our
guvunimeiii in jtauicul bands, and
"every foot" of tho country is kept
under tbe eyes of federal soldiers
ready to lend a band in civil matters!
Clinton Ikmocrat,
This is a damnable doctrine, and if

public, tlotvavrr, nA.W Democratic
rulo Sherman and his army will be put

Napoleonic jviews of tho General of
the army and his subordinates must un

people of tho United States are not
prepared fur military despotism, and
will not submit to be governed by mil.
itary snobs and buffoons.
A RAXK Silt.
An important suit touching tho re
sponsibility ol bank officers to tho in
stitutions employing them, bos boon
disposed of In tho Chestor county court.
It was an action brought by tho Iron
bank of Phoenixvillo against John 11.
ReifT, their cashier, to recover ilimmm
for negligent conduct on his pp,rt in
not requiring a stranger presenting
a draa to be properly identified. Tho
caso, which was decided in favor of
tne oaim, is thus slated by tho Wost
I'M. D 1 I.'
"On the 6th of July-. 1876. a atr.
presented himself at tho above men
tioncd bank, expressing a desire to
open an account with I ho bank, and
presenting a draft and a loiter of Intro
duction purporting to come from tho
casnicr ot tuo r'irst National Bank of

to be drawn bv tho First National
Bank of Philadelphia, for the sum of
i.ouu. jus until was accented, fl.
500 was advanced on it and credit
given bim for 5,O0O. Tho draft was
Ibrwardod to tho Philadelphia hank,
and word telographod back that it waa
forgery, i ue strangor bad in the
meantime concluded to enter into
"business" elsewhere. Tlio bank urges
ncgligonce on the part ot tho cashier
ii una requiring ino stranger to no

recover tbe $2,500 from the defendant.
Defendant cluims that when the bank
employed him it was nromiaoil that l.n

A MONSTHOVS VIOLATION OF
LA W.
From tbo New York lleralil
It is clear enough that tbe use mado
of tho Kjtleral troops was without any
constitutional warrant. At the very
utmost there is nothing which they
could legally do beyond tho preserva
tion of the local peace. But they un
dertook to decide what members are
entitled to scats in a Slate Legislature.
They assumed to overrulo the jndg
ment of Ihe Supremo Court ot tho
State and to decide that claimants to
seats should not appear to present
their claims. There is no Federal law
which authorise) this kind of intcrfer
ence. The constitution and laws of
South Carolina make the Legislature
itself the sole judge of the election of
its own members, and tboir titlea to
seats. But tho federal troops took the
question out of their bands.and decided
in advance tbat Dcinocralio members
should not only beexoluded from seals,
out tboy should not even be allowed
to enter the legislative hall to present
tho evidence of their title. There
could not be a more wanton, monstrous
and indefensiblo violation of law tban
this assumption by tbe federal army of
a nguv to aeeiuo woo had and wbo
had not been elected to a State Legis
lature. This is not merely the opinion
of tho Herald it is tho opinion of the
ahlosl Republican lawyers. If we bad
space) for quotationa we could show
that it was tbe opinion of Mr. Evarta,
J udge Soldcn and the most respected
members of tbo bar of this State when
a similar outrage on law and decency
was perpetrated in Louisiana in Janu
ary 1876. Tho wholo speech of Mr.
Kvarts at the Cooper Institute in that
memorable montn waa an argument to
prove that no such power exists and a
vigorous denunciation of the at
tempt to oxercise it. Kven P:eaidont
Grant himself was forced to admit
that the federal Government has no
such authority. A few days after the
t1 indignation mooting in New
,or "
o sent to Conirress a snecial
message on Louisiana affairs, in which
ue aaiuitied tbat tho troo'ia in Isew
Orleans had exceeded tbeir authority,
lie professed that the interference wilb
the Louisiana Legislature waa without
his direction or orders and without bis
previous knowlcdtro. lie told Cono-i
that bis first information of that trans
action camo to bim through tho news-
.11... . L . .l: L i. ,
i'ujivio, ituvr me vuuiff ii au ucen oono.
lie proceeded to make a formal and
emphatic disclaimer of any federal
right to intorferowllb IhoLegialature of
a Slate. We may be permitted by way
of reminder to quote his language:
"My first intimation," aaid Presidont
Grant on tbat occasion, "waa from tbe
papers ol tho morning of tba 6th of
January. 1 did not know that anv
auch thing was anticipated, as noordora
or suggestions woro given to any mili
tary officer in that State prior to the
occurrence.
Now mark tho language in which
President Grant proceeded to denv and
disclaim all right of interference, lis
stated the true doctrine onthia subject
niia a precision ano loroewblob would
have loll Mr. Evarta himself no around
of objection. "I am well aware," aaid
"resident Grant, in bis snecial naun
of January 13, 1875, "that any milt-
wry inienurenoo oy tne olncera or
trooia of tbe United Slates with tbe
organisation of a Slate Legislature or
ny pf ita proooedings, or with any
civil department of Che government,
is repugnant to our Idea of govern
ment. 1 can conceive of no case, not
involving rebellion or insurrection,
whore auch Inteiierenoa by authority
of tbe general government ought to
be permitted or can be justified."!
President Grant on that occasion
shielded bimself Irom censure by pro
tossing UiM the liiferi'erenoe with tbo
Louisiana Legislature was without, bis
direction, sanction or knowledge, and

Alt ELOQUENT APPEAL FOB LAW El
PCBLICAMISM ADMONISHED IT ITS
OEOAN TO DEFEND 14BIRTT
AND JUSTICE.
(From Ibe New Tor Foot, Hie.)
We cannot let the armed occupation
of tbe South Carolina State Ilouse,
and the act of the lederal troops tak
ing upon themselves to determine who
shall constitute the Legislature of that
Htate, pass without a protest of the
utmost possible solemnity and energy.
According to all accounts from that
quarter the federal troops were yester
day in possession of the building a
military garrison with ita sentinels
posted at the doors and no member
of tho Legislature was admitted ex
cept those who brought a pass from
one of the partisans of the present
Governor. Members who brought the
certificate of their election from the
clerk of the Supreme Court nnder the
broad seal of the Court were refused
admittance by armed men. Tbe per
son named Dennis, wbo gave the
written orders without which no per
son was allowed to enter, claimed that
be waa acting under tho direction of a
superior whoso name bo declined to
give. Ol course tbat superior ia Gov
ernor Camberlain, under whose orders
the federal troop, appear tc 'have been
put by 1 resident brant, and wbo haa
taken this method of deciding what
persons aro members of the South
Carolina Legislature
We protest against the proceedimr.
not only in the name of liberty and
justice, but in behalf of tho Republican
part', wbosei good name and worthy
record aro brought in question by this
resort to military lorce in a question
purely political. Here ia already in
corporated into the history of our Re
public a precedent of aa arbitrary a na
ture as the act of Cromwell when he
turned the British Parliament out of
doors. Tbe rule of all representative
bodies, that tbat tbey are judges of
the election and qualifications ot tbeir
members, is summarily sot aside and
Mr. Dennis, the furniture dealer, with
the federal troops at his back, usurps
that office. Even the excuse that dis-
turbsnce and bloodsbed were dreaded,
and an insurrection so formidable that
uovernor .amoenain would lat-K the
means to quell it, does not appear to
hare been made. The usurpation is
not masked with any plausible pretext ;
it sweeps away every restraint of
usage and precedent and law, and sub
stitutes simple force for tho quiet form
alities of oidinary legislation. The
Republican party ia not powerful
enough in comparison with tbe oppo
sition to sustain tbe responsibility of
sucn measures, ano it becomes every
member of it who desires its predom
inance and ita usefulness to disclaim
all part in such proceedinira.
But it is aid that no violence bas
been done. W hose, then, is the merit
of avoiding violence T It ia not due to
Dennis, not to Uovernor Chamberlain,
nor to the administration at Wasbinif
ton. It is tbe merit of tha people of
noutn uarouna. 1 oey have seen one
of their dearest rlghta wrested from
them tbat of tbe peaceable assembly
ot those whom they have elected as
tbeir legislators, and tbe organisation
of their Legislature according to the
lawlul and received usages, and have
enourod tbisoutragowitbout resistance.
If tbey bid persisted in seeking an
entrance into their State House there
would bave been violence. ' It tbe re
jected Ropresentattvea bad attempted
vu paejw tut avniHiei ah tne ooor tney
would have been thrust back by the
bayonet ; if tbe crowd about the build
ing bad shoutod 'break open the door.1
and rushed forward, they would bave
beon fired into. They took tbe wiser
course ; tbey preferred to leave the
responsibility of resorting to the bayo-
-" t'v"i tuumi r, uu urwru in VO UOCIUO
a political question. They preferred
an appeal to the good sonse and lust
intontions of the people of the United
Duties, and in this tba people will sus
tain tbem. We mean tbe people of all
parties, for the Republicans, il tbep are
wise, will make haste to disclaim all
connivance with an act which, if not
condemned by tho general voico of
tneir party, win bo quoted against
them, as long oa tbat party shall have

Hon. Wade Hampton, Democratic
Governor-cloct of South Carolina, fear
ing that the Infamous action of the
Returning Board of that Slate in dis
obeying tbo mandates of tbe Supreme
Court and nullifying the verdict ol tbe
people, might lead to an outburst of
popular indignation, issued tbe follow
ing noble patriotio address, which
must meet the approval of law-abiding
citizeoa everywhere:
Columbia, November 23, 1876. To
the people of South Carolina : The Board
of Canvassers have, by their unpreco
cedented action to-day, shown not only
their contempt and defiance of tho Su
preme Court of the State, but their
otter disregard of their own official in
tegrity. Wbilo the grave questions
determining the result of the recent
election were pending before the Su
preme Court, composed of three Judges
belonging to the Kcnublicnn nartr.ond
ltepub
in direct violation of the orders of this
tribunal, tbe Board has issued certifi
cates of election to tho Republican
PrMtirlpntinl ..lai.tnru and Inll.A I..... I..
lieu State officers, and have refused
to aire certificates to Democratic mam.
bers ol tbo Legislature shown by the
returns ol this sama Board to have
been elected in the counties of Edgefield
and Laurens. Tbia biih -handed outr
rsg. is well calculated .rouse
indignation Ol Our long-auffcnng people,
but I assure tbem that this during and
bave no legal force whatever. 1 appeal
to you, therefore, in the lullcst Confi-
dencethat tbe appeal will not be un-
beetled that you will maintain, even
unuvr tuia pruvotaiion, your cuaraeler
as an Ordorlv and law-ahidimr iwmln
During the past exciting canvass you
Iliirinc f K r...l ......I ZS.. '
nave studiously avoided evon tbe hem.
I lance of a purpose to disturb tho pub
lic peace or to transgress tbe law. Your
cause and it ia tbe cause of Constitu
tional government of tbe c untry
bas been carried to the highest court
of tho State, and wo aro willing to
abide by its decision, feeling assured
that thia tribunal will see tbat tbe laws
shall be enforced and justice secured.
Wads Hampton.
Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, Chairman ol

Niw Yoa-, November 24. .ly jnr
Sir: Your admirable address to tho
people of South Carolina is tbe subject
ui uiiiruniai comuienuation here. In
fact, tho prudence, the tbriicnnini.,, m,.l
the self-control of your poople under
auo iiitioi exasperating provocations, is
beyond all praise. I can only trust
that in tbe exciting aituation in which
you will find yourself next week, no
outbreak will occur. It ia almost too
much lo expect that there will be no
indiscreet man in South Carolina who
may provoke the collision, but never
theless the providence of God baa so
lar guided 3'ou and vour neonle in all
your difficulties that your friends rest
in calm confidence upon the wisdom
and good fortune which bave ao far
attended yoor actions. You may rest
assured that your Northern brethren
have consecrated themselves to the
work of your deliverance, and will
never cease their efforts nntil you aro
restored to tbat freedom wherewith
yon were made free by the labors and
sacrificesand wisdom of ourtorefalbera.
May God give you and your poople all
the wisdom and all tbe patience needed
in this hour of trial, and in thia crisis
of tbe destiny ol our common country. I
We have full faith in the iusliee oftlm
people of the United States, and wo do
not entertain a doubt of tbo finni ver
dict' which they will pan upon tha
occurrences of the last two woeks.
This verdict will surely vindicate their
jvo,jr wim ru-vsiaousn iree govern
ment upon a lasting basis. I have tho
honor to bo, vorv rcsnetlehllc vnur
