WHAT ELECTED HA YES!
In a
. letter to the Raleigh. Observer,
Hon Wm. 31.,Itobbids of North Carolina,
clearly portrays the important part which
the 11. S. Arniy played in the election of
Hayes, and also the real cause.of the sub
mission of the Deziocratic House to the
disgraceful decisions of the' Electoral
Commisston.
'The present ArinT .of the United
States is not large,' but it. bears the flag
and wears the uniforin of those armed
.
millions whioh but Asterday overrun the
continent, and it rep,resentathe.pnissande
of that Government - fwhich .they made ao
great, and carries with it, in the popular
mind, all the" preske• ',which they ac.
(inked. It is - this - that gives' it a power.
biyond . its Lumbers. 'hil3 this that makes'
its so poteut an engine of usuipation. It
is this that enables tvcorporal's guarcl to
seize the 'capitols of States and uphold,
in power crier unWillitig populations

Army which eniboldene4 theconspiratOrs
at Washington .in 'January, to announce
their daring programme to have the
Electoral vote.counted by the President
of the Senate; and when he should thus
count in Hayes, and declare him elected,
Grant, at the head of the Army, stood
avowedly ready to' inaugurate hirh with
the . bayonet if 'necessary. Thus, by an
'adroit and unscrupulous use of.the Arniy,
the country' was .'driven into a most dan
gerous crisis, from - which the only - escatie
WHO. an arbitration of ' the, Presidential
dispute or toreible resistance "by the peg.
ple. -The representatives of the•people
saw their...constituents were not only
averse to
-civil ;vitr, on account of their
recent experience of its evils, but entire
ly unprepared for it--unprepared even
for a formidable and determined show of
armed resistance, which, if it could have
been made, Might possibly have overawed
the usurpers without actual fighting.
This, and this only, was the real cause
- of the Electoral COmniission.: The House.
of Representatives acceded to the plan,
not because they liked it, not because
they liked to submit to arbitration: before
any tribunal the undoubted - right of
Tilden against the false claim of. Hayes
—but because this was: the. only alter
native except to call the people to arms,
all unready for the strife, while the
HaYes conspirators had all the advantages
—the Army, the Navy, the . Treasury, in
their hands, and were wicked and desper
ate enough .to willingly drench
_the coun
try with blood tot accomplish their :fell
purpose of usurping the Presidency.
The decisions of .the majority of the
Electoral Commission, as all the world
kno As, were inconsistent; recklessly par
tisan and shamelessly indecent. 'But it
was not the CoMtniosion' which !made
Hayes President. It was the Andy.
I have stated plain Jade, perfectly pat
ent to every man who- watched,4o3 I did,
the moyement - of events and actors be
fore and behind the scenes in 'Washing
-ton last Winter. In
,view of these facts
;are we not already far on the road toward
complete military rule'? But threaten
4ng as the situation is, the sovereign
people of the , United States.., and their
Representatives have only tolook the
danger square in ' the face, and a remedy
; can be found. 'These military tytants
who, lord it So boldly over born &Omen;
live On the money. 'which -we furnish
them. Without appropriation first made_
by the Representatives of the people,
neither the President nor, any other offi
cial can. use a dollar of public money to
maintain, Army,, or for= any other
purpose. We can withhold the. Supplies;
and
,thus drivethese incipient masters of
prirs,.bacli: into their proper places as odr
'serVants: - The late lionse,of. Represen
tatives began this geed work by refnaing
to make an appropriation for the Army;
except upon the proviso, that troo'ps
should no More be allbived to interferein
State affairs. The Senate - struck , oht:tAis
proviso but the House would not Or.
So that the Army Appropriation ttil
ed, and an extra session of, Congress is
to beeiilled order to pass such a bill.
The
,neit House,. fortimately, is Demo
(11'14)6:like' the last. Of courdet must
adhere without - wavering .to the position
taken by. the late Rouse thet Army
Appropriation bill: Better a 01040

that it should longer be all Owed ti;idom

Ex-Governor Hendricks was serenaded
in San Francisco a few:nights ago, and.
responded in a speech. The pa 4 relat
ing.to politics was as followi: do not
chOose , to-night;- in addresiing you, to
speak upon the political question stt,
length. - They have i placed Mr. Hayes in
the-presidential chair. I do net , think.
that the judgment
,of the American peo
ple is that he was elected ; but r without
election he has been piked in the presi
dential. chair., - He is, for the purposes of ,
the'office; the PreSident of the 'United
States, and you and I will give . to his ad=
ministration, for tligood of our couutry,
.that support , which; is due to any officer
de facto. But this wrong ,that. you and
the great: body of She American people
believe 'nits been perpetrated, must not"
passinto precedent; to be followed in, the
future. It is, crime rather to be detest
ed, and , the work' of the future, in part,
is to correct this, and to prevent its be
c'oming a precedent, Hereafter the man
who is
,elected, must , be President of the.
Ifnittd States. .And four years from this
time it will be the business of the people
of the ;United, States
,to exptess a judg
ment ution this question, not to be ;mis
