Thursday Morning, December 11, 1879.
TIIK recent municipal election in
New Haven, Connecticut, resulted in
the election of the entire Democratic
ticket by decided majorities', varying
from .'.OO to *OO. The Democracy
secures the council for the first time
in four years.
* THAT high-toned Republican jour
nal, the New York Timet, thinks that
the thirty-five electoral votes of New
York can only be secured to the Re
publican nominee for President next
year "by bringing the management of
the party up to the level of its princi
ples." To this the IfV.r/</ remarks,
"that the distance to lie covered in
this hoist is so small that it will not
be necessary to wait for commander
(ierringe's return with his hydraulic
jack and trunuions. Little Johnny
Davenport, with his cigar for a lever,
is fullv competent to perform the job."
IT is a pretty well ascertained fact
that Senator Sherman does not mean
to step aside to permit the stalwart
C'onkliog wing to have a clear walk
over to the third term for Grant. He
means business for himself and is lay
ing his plans to cut off nil hope of the
coveted unanimous nomination upon
►
which (irant rests, and for which hi
traveling show was inaugurated and
set in motion. The wily Secretary i
ton adroit to scare ami be ruu o(F the
track by such thunder, and will cou
t-st every inch of ground with the
General.
RKXPKCTI-TI.LY referred to our
neighbor of the Republican as an off- j
set to that "out and out lie," article j
that got into its courteous editorial
columns two weeks ago :
"The unpleasant news comes from
Virginia that all the Republican mem
bers of the Legislature except two
joined the Read j asters in the organi/i
tion of the House. The inference i
that they will work in this dugiaceful
union during the whole session and do
all they can to make the honest pay
ment of the State obligations impossi
ble. If they do they will cut them
selves off completely trotn Northern Re
publican sympathy and respect, and
end all desire or hope for anything like
Republican ascendency in Virginia."—
A Vie York Tribune.
THE Louisiana liars still survive.
Some scalawag in New (Means, cither
as a hoax or to afford material to the
Northern Radical foranothersensation
al story against the Southern people,
has telegraphed that in Madison Par
ish, at the late election in Louisiana,
the Republicans were nil driven out
by the Democrats and prevented from
voting, and that one man named R. H.
Brown was hung. It now npjw-ar*
that this is a lie, innde out of the
whole cloth—that Mr. Brown is at his
home in good health, and thnt the
election there, as everywhere else in
the State, was orderly and passed off
more quietly than has been known for
many years. Still the story will serve
to inflate the red ehirt banner of the
great Republican party in its efforts
for a "solid North. '
HAYES, in his message to Congress
recommended the retirement of the
Greenbacks which )R denominates an
unconstitutional currency in time of
peace. This recommendation received
the unqualified disapprobation of some
of his partisans in Congress, and
threatened a prospective division and
fight between the rank and file. His
fraiidulenry Iteeonting frightened, en
deavors to rrnwl bark by informing
the mal-contents that he was not se
rious and o lv pill the clause in his
message for jmlilirnl effect. Well, sujv
jsxse he tells the truth, what must lie
thought of a man acting as President
f of the United States, who, in seuding
an official message to Congress, could
thus act the hypocrite and then ac
knowledge that he did so deliberately
to deceive? Can he be credited or
believed in any nttcrrance* he may
make hereafter ?
THE second exodus of negroes is
from North Curolinn to Indiana. The
advance guard of several hundred ar
rived at Washington, Inst week, and
have been very thoroughly interview
ed by the press of thnt city, and the
| motives and hopes of the poor crea
tures fully aseertained, as well as the
lying inducements held out to them to
break up their homes in a State where
they are kindly treated and more,
prosperous than they can be in the
new LI Dorado. This exodus is a-cer
' taiued to IK; purely political, imposed
by the Republicans with the cxpectn
' tion that by such moans, they can
overcome the Democracy and -.■ euro
the State of Indiana fur the Republi-
I'can nominee of In this their
. j hopes may be blasted. The people of
that State, and particularly the Re-
I '
i publicans, never were partial to the
negro, and the very fact of colonizing
a. large body of them in the State to
be supported bv their charities, may
I not pan out to a successful issue.
Those that have already arrived, are
-aid not to have Is-en received kindly
)by the Republicans of the State, but
! with many curses upon those who in
! spires! such u movement for political
objects. The negroes speak plainly
i of the inducements held out to them,
| coupled only with one condition, and
that is to vote the Republican ticket.
, They are promised *1", with houses
to live in rent free, ?l-" to sl* a
, month for work on the farms, and
; S'J.JO jH-r day on the railroads or in
' the ntoue quarries. The number of
white Republicans already disgusted,
; will perhaps overbalance the number
of'votes to lie obtained by such disre
j potable means, even allowing that the
emigrants may acquire the neces-ary
! qualifications for voters in the Btate.

THE turbulence which seems to be
j an established element of politics in
I'hiladelphia was rampant at the
late Democratic primary meetings for
the selection of candidates for inuui
uipal offices and delegate to the State
convention, resulting in the death of
one man unci the wounding of others,
ill the fouglt and fifth wards of the
city violence reigned supreme. It is
certainly an unpardonable disgrace to
the Democracy of the city, that in or
der to hold a convention a strong po
lice force should 1M; found necessary to
insure the personal safety of its mem
bers. So hitter and malignant have the
rival factions, under lead of selfish as
pirants, liecome towards each other,
that a peaceable and reputable citizen
will scarcely endanger bis life by ap
pearing as a member in one of these
IxMlies, and perhajw for that reason
■ more than for any other the persons
| usually chosen to represent I'biladcl
; phia in State conventions are not as a
rule taken from the best class of citi
zens as in other places. So long as
lawless and violent men may with im
punity break into conventions with
the roughs they control and govern,
nrmed with pistols and bludgeons,
to force results to suit their own views,
we can expect public decency and
public morals to be outraged as they
were last week, and Philadelphia will
soon he called upon to surrender its
claim to be a city of "brotherly love"
governed by the teachings of modern
civilization. There is no excuse for
such proceedings and they would not
be tolerated anywhere outside of that
city. We therefore call upon the re
putable members of the party in
I'hiladelphia, of whom there are many
thousands, to take matters into their
own hands. They are strong enough
to do it. Ix-t them at once overthrow
the rival factions of roughs who
bring so much disgrace upon the par
ty, nod they will receive the thanks
of their Democratic brethren through
out the State. Let us therefore hcqie
and pray for la tter things from that
quarter in the future.

IT is said that the Democrats of the
I nitcd States Senate will have a word
ti) say about the appointment of super
visors under the law to take the cen
; sus next year. The Republicans arc
i indignant at this presumption on the
J part of the majority in the Senate.
' Rut they should recollect how they
treated the appointments of Andrew
1 Johnson when they were a majority in
that brunch of Congress. It was per
feetiv proper iii their opinions to force
President Johnson to appoint -ucli men
to office a- suited their faneies, but now
when it is propos-d to give them a
' slight dose of their own medicine they
make awfully wry faces over it. We
j udvi-e them to be patient and cultivate

THE coalition between the Rcpubli

! giniu seems to be very close. After
I *ucc-cding in controlling the organi
zation of the legislature, they have
elected T. T. I'auntlerov, S-efctary of

or. The last named i- a Republican,

pudiation, and when a Democrat as
serts the contrary it is "a lie out and

AT the municipal election held in
j the city of Boston, Mass., on Tuesday,
the Democrats re-elected Mayor Prince
by a majority of about two thousand
j over Stobbins, Republican. <>n the

the city of Charleston, 8. C., elected
their candidate for Mayor by a large
majority over two independent candi
dates. The election was quiet nnd

Jt'iMiE PEARSON has virtually
quashed all the indictments in the riot

new indictments will be sent to the

January term of court, but whether
any of the rogues engaged in business
of legislative bribery will ever he
brought to justice remains for the fu
ture to determine —pros|>ects some

DOES the New York World imagine
that it helps the cause of Mr. Bayard
by coupling that honored Senator's

The Bayard boom, we take it, would
lie much stronger with the people
without any such connection. "The

No more of that, if you please.

WASHINGTON, I>. Dec. 8, 1-7'.).
The O] cning of Congress lots been en
tirely devoid of excitement. The
Ml— Hgo wns read at the 'l<**k in both
Houses, of eour-e, although it had been
printed in full, as far back AS Sunday
morning, in New York, Cincinnati and
' hicago. It tn.iy be interesting to know
that not less than ?l,. r S*i was paid for
the stolen copy. The hotels are yet
nearly empty, and it is certain that
Congress will do little or lothing be
, fore the holiday *.
The uppermost topic of talk in, of
course, tho prospective |>olicy andean
did iM-s of the Democracy. It i easy
to discern a more hopeful feeling than
prevailed just after the November el re
tsons. The deelaration of the PP-M
dent and Secretary Sherman ;ti favor of
cancelling the greenback- and tq ] ing
the coinage of silver have already creat '
• 1 dissatisfaction in the Republican
ranks. And Are thought to offer A safe
position for the Democracy a |>osition
of simple conservatism—taking the
ground that nothing should be done io
disturb tbe present prosperous c-ndi
tion of trade And industry. It is be
lieved that the Republican programme
of tinkering the currency and contract
inj both the volume of paper and the
rnetAlie basis, will be a weak one to go
before the country wuh. Senator Thur
man says thia proposed freh attack up
on the currency gives the Democracy a
great advantage, and almost cveryJody
ujion his side of the house expresses
the aame opinion. The Democrats are
therefore generally delighted and A
great many of the Republicans are dis
satisfied with tbe utterance* of tbe
President and Secretary, w hich divides j
the Republicans ami unites the Democ
racy.
Discussion of the respective strength
of candidates talked of for the nonii
nation next year goes briskly on. Sey
[ mour appears to have many friends and
Rayard even more, while General Han
cock is among the leading favorites and
seem* to be the second choice of nearly
everybody. As, if Pennsylvania pre
sent* any candidate, Hancock will un
questionably be the man, it may inter
■ est Pennsylvanians to know the chief
argument* advanced hy the advoeates
of hi* nomination. The Republican*
will rely mainly upon the Solid South
to make a solid North. It i* therefore
held that the beat answer possible to
the sectional issue in all its forms will
he to answer it, in the person of the
candidate, that if the northern people
still fear a defeated minority, they can
not fear to place their interests in the
keeping of a loyal soldier like General <
ffftneoek. Then there remain impor
tant differences of opinion among Dem
rrats on the financial question. Many
are ardent believers in a currency of
greenback* redeemable hy the bi metal
lie standard. Others would wipe out
the legal tenders and have only Nation
al hank notes redeemable in gold alone.
Hardly n man can be found in active
public life whose reoord upon thia quea
tion would not lose him votea some
where.' This gives a second advVntage
in point of availability to a candidate
like General Hancock, whose position
in the regular army has kept him en
tirely out of the political arena, and
clear of factions and animosities. This
would apply to other soldiers as well;
hut General Hancock combine* quali
ties which are found united in no other
person ; since it was his fortune, in the
line of his duty as a soldier, and in an
i
important emergency, to promulgate
official order* and letters defining in a
masterly nmnticr tli* limits of the Mili
tary jovrc-r .'tri'l its proper subordination
in time of peace to the civil Miithority.

which has endeared him to all the MI R

This plan, it attempted, as it is so
• nfidenlly reported to be, i- s sharne
less and infamous an one as was ever
perpetrated upon a people as shame
less and infamous, indeed, as w n ever
perj>etrated n|sori the people of l/>ui*i
ana or Morula, and nothing could bo
•aid of it worse than that. Throughout
the Kastern Mate- the lending Hepubli
can newspapers denounce the projected
fraud uj<on the ballot in the most just
an<l indignant terms, and so do the
T-,'-unz snd 7* '. ot New York. Their
indignation is perfectly proper, for the
crime is one that cannot |#c too severely
denounced . hut when the same crime
was fscrpetrated year after year by the
unscrupulous itohtical adventurers, who
called themselves Republicans, of I/OU
isiana ami Florida, why was it not de
nounced hy the leading journals of the
Republican party 7 The Ere* , j T'U
■jraph sbiod almost alone among such
newspapers in denouncing it, the 71i'-
and Tm,'i, as well as its Kastern
coadjutors, boldly supporting it. The
TtU-irxph pointed out at the time that
it was „ had game, which could he play
ed North as well as South, by lie'iocrsts
as well as Republicans, if the ' <t<
hapjaMi'd to *e. vr
by I >ernren^^^^H^Bfca 'n
V.ouisuins when committed
baggers in the name of the Republican
|>arty. It is precisely the same crime,
and if the reputable Republican press
of the North bad, five, six, seven, snd
eight years ago, denounced it when
committed in the South, it would not
now l>e attempted in the North. What
it carries with it is the disfranchisement
of a great Commonwealth, under the
shallow, false pretence of correcting
fraud in a few legislative districts ; and.
as we have said, no more heinous wrong
than this can be done to a free people.
There may be no truth in the reports
that it is to tie attempted in Maine to
day, but all the same it is possible for it
not only to be attempted there, but ex
eouted. It is so great an offence against
our political liberties ns to be impossible
of commission solely by reason of its
enormity. In the old Roman laws
there were no |>enalties named for cer
tain offences because it was said no oiti
*en would be so base as to commit
them. It ought to be that in thiscoun
try no man could be even suspected of
the infamy of disfranchising In* fellow
citizens, but it is not so; and we owe
this particular phase,of the crime to a
perverted public sentiment which for
years |iermitted it to be done in the
South in the name of Republicanism.
It is one of a bad brood come home to

Some facetious medical students in
Indianapolis sent a professional "resur
rectionist" to remove a body from its
haling place. The supposed corpse in
the sack was a live medical student.
The professional threw the bag over his
shoulder and set out for the college.
The corpse, with no knowledge of his
whereabouts, straightened out just as
his bearer was crossing the canal. With
rare presence of mind the intended
victim of the joke heaved his burden
over the bridge into the water and calm
ly walked on. Had not the conipan
ions of the unfortunate man rushed to
hia rescue there would have been a
"sure enough*' corpse in the party.
