TllR NtOUo's illsroRTUNE. The
frequent attempt of Radical Congress
men and their confederates to trims
form an African into a Caucasian, by
Constitutional amendments and "by
appropriate legislation (!)" is as great
a fuiluro as would have boon Jonah's
attempt to swallow the whale. In

"The Wages of Sin is Death."
"Gatb at Harrisburg" Georgo Al
fred Townsend is good racy reading,
while "Structures" and "The Cabinet
Indicted" aro stubborn facts which
should be read by all men.
"An air ol insolence," on tho part
of Wade Hampton, is what annoys
"the Dead buck" those spring morn

Getting Ills Eyes Open. Tho edi
tor of Harpers' Weekly, Mr. Curtis, sees
the point. He says: ' Whatever wrongs
may be done anywhere in the country
to any citizen, tho remedy is to be
sought under tho law, and under the
law only. There cannot be one kind
of national protection in one State and
another kind in another Stato. If the
army may be a police anywhere, it
may be so everywhere." Mind that
Mr. Hayes. '
J Awful I AwruLli Col. Forney in
his Press of Saturday, inukes this in
quiry: "SHALL THE TRAITOR
WADU HAMPTON, DICTATE TO
HAYES THE PATRIOT I" Well,
Colonel, it looks that way just now I
"And what aro yon going to do about
itr The "Deud Duck" has an awful
road to travel. In a scriptural sense,
the way of the transgressor ia a hard
one ; and the Colonel assume the re
sponsibility. A Washiuton politician says that
'President Iluye is so completely pos
sensed of the pacification ideu that he
"would not be surprised if he were to
send for Sum Tiiden to try and conciii
ate him. He has succeeded so well in
setting up a dual reign in the l'ostofjiee
Department that it is possible ho may
try to compromise with Tiiden by giv
ing him the Presidency of tbo South,
while he remains President ol the
North."
Foenet Stiix Unhappy. It ap
pears that tbo "dead-duck" cannot be
rendered happy, no diffloronce what
occurs. The editor of tho Press
sjwaks of "rebels, who in any other
country would have been shot by drum
bead court martial." Supposo Colonel
Forney gives us a double leaded shot
at thieves, with their plunder in tboir
pockets, loaded down with bribes of
$2S,000, who, "in any other country,"
would have been hung at tho first cross
roads."
A Naked FAi-sEHoon. Those let

ful if Mr. Hayes would have been

Foster and Matthews have at least
played a rery sharp trick.

ami. Tha way or the transgressor is
hard on.
The enterprising editor of tlio Phil
adelphia 7V!iu, Col. Mi Clure, with tho
intention of forwarding the labors ol
the Commission has prepared an elab
orate report which reads as follows :
President Iluyes bus had inllnite vex
ation in his efforts to get a Commission
to hold together long enough for roll
call to go to Louisiuna, to divide wttW
him the responsibility tor tlio inevita
ble withdrawal of the troops Irom that
Slate. The trouble is to gut reputable
gentlemen to accept the position for
tho reasons that commissions leave a
bud titato in the moulhs of tho people
just now, and that tho Sherman re
port made on Louisiuna to sugar-coat
the fraud by which tbe Stale was given
to Iluyes, bus fastened incffuceuhledis
graco upon its authors. It is feared
by the invited commissioners that they
will be distrusted from tho start by
both parties; that if they tell the truth
they must invoke tho assuulu oi men
dicunt organs and thut if they don't
tell the truth, they will bo execrated
by honest men. Apprehending that
the deli"ale und exhausting lubor of
muking a report in the Louisiuna cusu
may deter some good men from ac
cepting a place on the commission,
The Times comes opportunely to the
uid of all such und furnishes the follow
ing as an entirely sale report on all the
disputed points, and it is all the mure
handy as it can us well be verified and
udopteil over a dinner at Welcker's as
in New Orleans. We submit it in de
tail, so that there need be no mistakes
in tilling up skeleton work, viz :
"1. The commissioners appointed to
inquire into tlio status ol the dual
Slate governments in Louisiuna have
curelully investignted the law und the
fuels in tho cusu, and respectfully re
port thut nobody outside of a lunatic
asylum or a Fuderul or Slute office
seriously disputes the luct thut Mr.
Nicholla was honestly vleeled Governor
of tlio Statu by over ten thousand ma
jority.
"2. Considerations of delicacy have
prevented tlio commission from pre
senting to the President and the coun
try their unanimous judgment as to
which electoral ticket carried the Stale
by over eight thousand majority.
"3. Governor Kellogg, candidute for
elector, and Marshal Packard, candi
date for Governor, selected tho regis
tering officers for the entire Stute; hud
registered whom they chose to huve
registered ; rejected whom they chose
io reject, and all were absolutely dis
trunchised under the law who were
not registered. They therefore decid
ed, in tho first place, who should and
who should not vole.
"4. The snid Kellogg and Packard,
candidates as before named, selected
the Supervisors of Flection in every
city and parish in the Stato.
5. Tho Kollogg Packard Supervis
ors of election appointed tho election
officers to bold the election in every
precinct or division of every parish,
and they decided where the elections
should be held, passed upon tbe quali
fications of every Voter presented to
tbera and accepted or rejected his vote.
"6. The election officers thus ap
pointed by the Kellogg-Pucknrd Su
pervisors, after receiving such votes
as they thought best to receive, count
ed and collided the returns anil deliv
ered them to the said Kellogg Pack-
ard Supervisors to bo approved and
forwarded to the capital.
"7. Thutlheufurusaid Keliogg-Pack-
ard Supervisors have tbe right under
the law to receive ufllduvits of intimi
dation, fraud or mistake us to the elec
tion, and when such ufllduvitr, a to made
at til J time, the Supervisors are requir
ed to report the sumo as part of the
roturn, in which cas, and only in such
case, tho Reluming Board is empow
erud to Inquire into the integrity of
the return.
"8. That tho alorcsald Kellogg.
Packard Supervisors did niuke such
legal complaint of tlio returns from
two or possibly tlireo parishes in the
entire Slute, and that all the other re
turns wero certified without legul or
even lormul complaint from uny
officer.
"9. That the said Kellogg and Pack
ard, candidates as aforesaid, had three
regiments of United Suites troops to
protect tbo voters they had decided to
allow the right ol suffrage; that said
troops were stationed in nbedienco to
tho directions of said Kellogg and
Packard ; that they had all the troops
tlioy called lor or desired ; that the)
had from twelve to fifteen hundred
deputy United Slates Marsbuls ap
pointed by Attorney Generul Tuft to
guard tbo polls and protect voters at
the cost of the National Treasury ;
that they had the Louisiana militia in
organized readiness to aid in maintain
ing tho peaco and protecting voters;
that they had a swarming constabula
ry at hand to support them at tho cost
of the Slate, and to all of which may
be added the entire large list of county
and district officers, judicial, m igistorial
and otherwise, all of whom held their

Kellogg and Packard.
"10. Thai the f-eliciaua parish, where
intimidation is alleged, has been care
fully considered by the commission,
and the unanimous conclusion has been
reached that with two Republicans to
one Democrat in the parish ; with all
the Federal Hoops asked lor ; with all
tbe Slate militia desired ; with all the
deputy United Slates Marshals peti
tioned for; with all the constabulary
that the aforesaid Kellogg and Pack
ard chuae to have, and with all the dis
trict and parish officers to aid the vo
ters who were two to one in numbers;
that with overwhelming numerical su
periority and troops and officials
enough to protect every pill and escort
every voter to his home, tho rumor of
intimidation is quite too attenuated by
a large majority,
"ll. That the Votes so registered, so
received, so protected, so counted and
so certified by the officials selected by
lb aforesaid Kellogg and Packard,
gav Nicholla ten thousand majority
save Use.,
much trouble and gain much credit
from the honest men of all parlies, by
adopting the loregoiug report as a
whole. It will help President Iluyes
out of the slough of the Louisiuna He-
turning Board, and enable him to
strangle his own children with appar
ent decency before the world."
Tin Bloody Shirt Abandoned.
Atler Hayes delivered his Inaugural
address, Bliiine, Cameron, Morton,
Ingersoll, und oilier, showed their
teeth uud growled. They bad expect
ed thut us Iluyes hud made great pro
fessions ot friendship for the poor ne
gro, he would take u rudieul position
towards tho South, and they were
ready, and likely hud prepared speech
es, to sustain him. To their utter
amazement and confusion, ho took tbe
very opposite course they hud nulici
puted. Tbey were thunderstruck, and
ut once counseled opposition to the
new administration. But a generul
public sentiment ut once gave vent in
lavor of the mode 'ato policy ol Mr.
Iluyes, und the Rudieul conspirators
concluded to join ill und suvu thein-si-lves
rather thun bo left out in the
cold altogether. So they suddenly
veered around and announced them
selves in favor of the now policy, und
began to extol it as tho nccessun pol
icy tor these times. If, however, Mr.
Iluyes hud taken the courso they de
sired him to tuke, no other Aug but
tbu "bloody shirt" would now wave
over tbe cupilol, showing themselves
by this sudden turn to be the veriest
time servers, reudy to do uny bidding
so they can keep on the warm side ol
power. Their course depended entire
ly on the course of Mr. Huyes. If be
would be rudieul thuy would buve been
still more so, but as be took a conser
vative courso thuy followed, ulthoiigh
they did so ugainsl their iiuturul iucli
nulioii. Whut slutusmun I
Constitution Brkakehs. ThoCon
stitution is so seldom in tbe wuy of the
Kudical leaders, that we deem it scarce
ly neeessury to cull the ulteiition ol
our readers to thut luct. However, it
is proper that wo should cull public at
tention to the luct thut the conduct ol
the mujurily hi passing a bill through
our Legislature in rulution to the ap
pointment of Sheriff's deputies, be
cause the violation of the tiiudamuntiil
law of the Slute is so gross thut it
would be compounding crime to ullow
it to pass unnoticed. One of the pro
visions of the Constitution reads as bil

Notwithstanding this provision of
the Constitution, the Radical Legisla
ture and Governor have made a special
law lor Pbiludelpbia, to prevent tbe
Sheriff from appointing deputies on
election day, and to givo that power
to tho Mayor. It is done because tbe
Sheriff is a Democrat and the -Mayor u
Radical. But It was not done for
Pittsburg, where tho Mayor is a Dem
ocrat and the Sheriff a Radical. Can
anything bo more partisan and unfair?
Hayes ino. The editor ol the Cam
bria Freeman, in alluding to the (10,
000 legislative steal, talks to tbe mem
bers as follows:
Although the Legislature was
ashamed lo pass the joint resolution
donating to each of its nieniliers a
copy of Purdim's Digest, it look a new
departure and voted a wuy f 10,000 ot
the people's money tor tho publication
und distribution of B,0u0 copies ol
Puul's History ot the Soldiers' Or
phans SchiKila (lf the Statu. This was
literally robbing Peter 10 pay Paul.
liir tho money is willy uppmpnuted
tiir the benefit of Paul himsell', who,
when hu tailed to make his history
pay, conceived the business-liko and
brilliant idea of getting thu Slutu lo
buy 6,000 copies of it at 12,00 per vol
ume. This book is to be distributed
FREE ORATia among tbe members ol
the Legtslutiire and Ihu Suite officers
ut llurrisburg. The plunder then go
ing to each member will bu about six
teen copies. If lids is not one ol the
most brazen and unblushing of robber
iea, under the liiin cover ul iegislution,
we are ut a loss lo know by w hut
milder iiume to call it- No Demo
cratic member should soil his hands
with tbu booty when it is ready for
delivery. It be does he will, like
Hayes, be guilty of receiving stolen
goods.
A TcRUirric Explosion. Tbe Wnv
run j.ctlijrr, in a (lesserlion on the pros
peels and Ireaks of Ihe oil business in
Ibal region says :
"The already celebrated gas well at
Shcttlula), bad another freak a day or
twu since, l'arues were at work
cleuuing out tbe wall, when a gus vein
which bud been closed by the caving
in of the well, was opened, and the

seems almost a miracle that no person

Trouble all Around. An ex
change remaiks: "And now another
Die in tbe rear has been opened upon
the badgered Hayes. An Ohm dele
gation has wailed upon hi in lo de
mand prompt recognition of Puckard
and to inform bim that any failure lo
recognize Packard will be regarded
by Ohioansaa discrediting Hayes' own
title." Well, that's about tbe way
Blaine blubbered it out in the Senate
a few weeks ago. ll is seldom that
those Radical "Christian Statesmen"
tell the truth, but when they "open
up" they tell it in pluin English. If
Hayes was elected, so was Packard.
That is as true as the needle to tbe
pole.
The "anti Cameron ring" Is mention
ed by tho Erie Dispatch. It evidently
refers to Hayes, KvarU and Sehuri.
