THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1876. Greenbacks at tho Now York Gold Ex- chinnge closed at 91 Whashington claim-ngonts are not at all dis- mayed at Mr. ‘L1zoen’s proclawnation on the subject of Confederate raids on the National Frensury, They have not the slightost fenr that Mr. Trpes, if clected President, would Lo nable to cnrry out his wholesale veto pro- grammo, nnd they still stand ready to en- gineer Bouthern claims on the usua! terms. Toreign ndvices contain littlo additional intelligonco regarding the progress of tho negotintions at Constantinople. The now Russinn Ambnssador has had ap in- terview with the Sultan, but nothing bLas trapspived ns to its chavacter. The Turkish army is moving, spparently resistlessly, up the Valley of tho Morava, nud a¢ Inst accounts was iu the immediate vicinity of Deligrad, an important Servian position. The breach of fraternal relations which has cxisted between the Northorn and South- ern branches of the Methodist Church in the United Stotes has so far been Lealed thata Inrgenumber of representatives of the denom- mntion North and South met yestorday in Louisville to ratify tho nction of the North- ern Conference at Ballimore, last summer, fooking to rennion, Tho separation oceurred at tho National Confereuce nt Louisville in 1344, and the thirty-two years of estrange- mont is now happily ended and all differonces reconciled on tho very spot where, through the baleful influences of tho slavo institne tion, the reeds of distrust and discord were BowD. Something over 70,000 people who hold policics in the Continental Life-Insuranco Company of New York Wwill be unplensantly nffected by the announcement of tho sus. peusion of that Compauy and the appoint. ment of o Recciver to wind up its affaivs. The prospeet is lickd out that the assots of the Company will bo suliclent to provide ngainst any loss to policy-lolders, and it is enrnostly to bo Dboped that it may be so. ‘Tho falluro of alife-insurance company doing alargo business is in some dogreo like the faifuro of o savings-bank—n calamify which Ialls heavily upon pooplo of small means, nud who can poorly afford to loso tho monoy saved out of meanty earnings to pay their anual premiums. The Continental has dono a Jarge business fu the West during the lust fivo years, and tho policy-holders in this section aro numbered by thousands. T ——— JMr. Wasununy's removal from his position 1t the head of the Treasury Department was the result of n peremptory order by thoe President, who still 1abors undor tho halln- rinntion that Mr, Dmsrow and his chief sub- ordinates were ongaged in n conspiracy to bring discredit upon Gen. Grant and his in- timnto friends, Mis boliof that Mr. Wasn. punN was nwaroof such n conspiracy and wmitted fo expose it was the cansa of the atter’s romoval, which was reluctautly ne- tomplished by Secretary Monniy, who places n high estimate upon dr. Wasnnonx's tegrity and capacity, and was sorry to part with so excellent an oflicer. Bad and design- g mon have gained the Presidential car and ‘bused the Presidentinl confidenco for beir own unworthy and selflsh ends, and have succeeded in inducing him -to beliove stories which nover had the slightost basls of fact. G Attorney-Goneral ¥T and Mr. Munat Harsreap spoke in Now Yorlk last ovening to au fmmenso audionco at Cooper Union Hall, Tudgoe Tarr dovoted his attention to the legal rapects of the Southern situstion, defonding end explnining tho rocent order relativato tho snforcement of the election law in s manner o clenr nnd conclusive that it ought to silence the Democratic howls about ouconstitutional futerfurence, Mr. Har- steAp puid his respeets to Mr. Tine paN's letter on the subject of South. ern claime, quoting with admirable pertiuence from Mr, Tinpex's letter of ne. coptance, in which lie wrote that experience Bad frequently exposed tho futility of sclf- $mposed restrictions by candidates. This was intended as o slur upon Gov, Haves' strong declarations in regurd to civil-sorvico xeloriu, but it happoos to fit the prescut case completely. Mr. Tipen then bod no doubt of tho * futility of sclf-imposed restrictions," nud if the trath wers known he bns nono now.

The English Government hag recontly avowed that it grently desires tho substitution in India of tho gold for the silver standard, Tho United Btates, when it resumes mpecie payments, will need a largo amonnt of metallic mouncy, ~gold or silver, ns the case may bo. Au in- fluential”school in France nro urging that country to adopt tho single gold standard, Daes it need to bo argued thatif Germauy, with the gold slandard, finds herself short of cnrrency, that France, the United States, and Indin cannot adopt the same standard with- ont producing the most serions monetary do- rangement? To throw so vast a mass of silver as would be demonotized out of use will infliet great loss on the holders of silver, citlierns bullion or eurroney, and tho supply of gold cannot be spread over so vast n sur- fuce. TILDEN AND THE BOUTHERN CLAIMS, The letter of Mr. Titpex announcing to the Democrntie National Committee that, if clected Presidont, ho will not approve any legisiation providing for the payment of any war claims by porsous in tho Somnthern States, whether loyal or disloyal, is, ou its face, candid enongh, and seemingly covers the wholo business, 'The letter is of the ut most importance to o full understauding of the perils to which tho country is subjected. It hins been chinrged : 1. That there wera citizens at the South who had sustained, or claimed to liave sus- tuined, loss and datnage to their property {from the Union army, and from Rebel forces because of the presence of Union troops, aud that theso claimants had been oxcluded from compensation beeause of the disloynlty of the clnimants, 2, That during the Iast threo years many of these claims had been presonted to Con- gress; that numerons bills had been intro- duced providing specifieally for the payment of cerlnin cases, nnd various gemeral bills praviding for the allowanco and payment of theso clnims by Courts, Commissnons, nnd various officers of the Government, 3. That several of the Southern States had officinlly taken cognizanco of these olaims; had provided for their registration, aud had undertaken to demand the payment of tho losses from tho United States to these seve eral States, ncting as the political sovereigns for their injured citizons. 4. 'That thesa claims aggregate over two thousand millions of dollurs,—n debt capablo of being paid only by tho issue and salo of national londs, or an additional issue of greenbacks, or both, to the great damnge nnd destruction of the national debt. 5, 'ho payment of theso bouds in some form is suported by the united voto of the 140 Itepresontatives and tho 32 Senators of the sixteen Sfates, to whose *‘solid” vole Mr. Tipex, if elected at all, will owe his clection. Tho letter of Mr. Trnvry is o public con- fession, n frank acknowledgment, that these claims exist; ibat their payment will bo demanded of his Administention; {hat the claimns aro for tho most part fraudulent and fletitions ; that their allowanco and payment would bankrupt the nation. Mr, Trtnex has trented all representations mado against him and {he Democratic party with contemptu- ous indifference, but he conld not ignora this matter of these claims; that was i subject that addvessed itself directly to overy tax- payer m the North, aud was not to bo evaded or snubbed, Ile, then, as o matter essentinl to hin success, has written this letter within tho fortuight preceding the clection, The omergoney was so great that he was forced oven to offend his friends in the sixteen Southern States in order to rotain bis adher- onty attho North, Ifo makes this declarn- tion: Should T be clected President, the provisions of thie Fonrteenth Amendment will, o far as depends ou me, be maintained, exccuted, and enforced, In perfect and ahsolute good faith, No Rebel debt will bo swsumned or patd, No clabin for the Josw or emanclpation of any slave will bu atlowed, No claim forany loss or damage incarred by dinloyal ersons, arlsing from thelate War, whethercovercd by the Fourteenth Amendment or nat, will;be coenized or pald. The cotton tax will not be r- . 1shall deem 1t my duty to veto every b ding for the assumption or payment of any T such debts, loxses, damager, clalmg, or for the re« funding of any such tax, Wo will assumo this to bo intended as a full and frank declaration of his purposo to veto not only bills making approprintions for thoso claims, but all bills changing tho law of evidenco 5o 88 (o admit claims, now ox- cluded Ly law, tobe heard and allowed by tho Court of Claimys and by cortain officers of the Government, ‘Tho letler, thoreforo, it written in good faith, meons nothing more nor less than that v, Lievex will not op- pose such legistation ko long ns ho can help it, and this is extorted from him because of tho dumaging fuet that tho majority of his party, should Lo be elected, will junko the payment of theso clnims tho great leading mensure of tho Administration. ‘Ihe posi- tions of the Demoeratic aud the Itepublicnn parties nro nol, however, chianged by this lotter, 'I'heso partics will stand townrds these cleims in dinmetrical opposition, It Gov, 1lavis ig elected, the Republican parly in the Government—cxeontive, legislative, aud judiclal—will ba a unit in opposition to theso cloims, Haves ps President will hnvo the support of the Republicans of Lis Cabinet, of Lo Courtn, and of the two Ilouses of Con- gress, and the non-payment of the cluima will bo determined boyond all question, How will it be with P'rvexn? The Represon- tatives and Benators of iho sixteon ** Solid South” States will be a majority of tho Dem- ocratiocaucns. ‘Theso sixteen States will boa unit for theso claims, 'Thess States will of neeessity hnvo one or two representatives in the Cobinet. In rodooming their pledges to their coustitucnts, theso men will proposo in Congress, not u bill appropriating 2,000, 000,000 to pay these Southern cluims, but thoy will puse o bill such s that proposed by Mr. Ripprr, of "Pennessce, nnd now pouding, repealing ull laws requiring claim- auts for losses Ly the War to prove their loyalty during the War, 'This is alt the legis- lation the claimants noed, With the present exclusion of theso claimy removed, then tho Court of Claims, the Claiws Commlssion, nod tho revoral Beerotaries, and the account- ing officers of tho several departments, will hnvo completo furisdiction to allow thesa clpims, to give judgments therefor, and to pay or order their payment out of tho Trens- ury. Wowill aysumo that ‘Ltrnpex's disclaim- er s intended to cover such an nct a3 this Rmopre bill, but how s Mr. ey to rosist it? It mmst " ber remembered that such a bill will havo for its support n lobby ablo to divide fifty millions of dollars; that suchn bill will have the support of two-thirds, if not three-fourths, of any Democratic caucus § that it will hava tho united support of the Stato Governments nand Logislatures of atl tho Democratie-Con. foderato States ; that it will havo support in the Cabinet, and the support of an army of Democratic Iawyers from all sections of the conntry, Under these circumstauces, to veto #uch a mensure, Mr, TiLpeN must cliooso to stand alone in his own Administration, To opposo Lis party iu such a cnse will compel him to fall back upon the Republican party, Ifo can hinve no othier chance. e must go with his party or do as Joun T¥rEn did, and ns ANprew JonnsoN did, fall into the arms of tho ollier party. No Administration cleet- cd by one party and supported by the other has over been successful, or Lins ever eacaped beoing disgraceful, Is Mr., TitoeN & man thus to brenk Into his own party and destroy all hopes of a sue- cossful Administration? IIashe the courage thus to opposo and defy the Democratio porty, ewpecinlly thoso intorests which clected him? His record gives no evidences of any such spirit. When Congress in 1875 passed what is known ns thoRessumption law, and fixed January, 1879, as the dato of ro. mumption, Mr. TiLpey proposed to tho Leg- islaturo of New York that that body empha- 5izo the action of Congress, and that Legis- Iaturo did pass, and Gov. 'TILpEN npproved, an net declaring that after the 1st of Janu- ary, 1879, all contracts made in the State of Now York shall, nnless othorwiso stated, bo payablein gold. Hero was his oftleinl sanc. tion of an act to compel tho resumption of specie payments in Now York, Mr, Teroey afterwards in all his official papers laborionsly advertised himself as tho advocate of tho Immedinte resumption of speeio pnyments, and the immediate retarn to the gold standnard. 1fo preparved for the St, Louis Convention o platform embodying that decloration, but that Convention sub- stituted therefor n demand for the repeal of tho Resumption act of Congross, and the Democratic llouso of Represontalives re- peated that demand, and in both proceed- ings Mr. Truony submitted, not daring, ns ho might bave done, to resist this direct ro- versal of his own boasted official policy. If Mr, TiwpeN had not the nerve and the couragoe todefy tho faction of his own party which demanded this repeal of the Resump- tion Inw, can it Do oxpected that as Prosidont ho will give up all the hopes and nmbitions of lis lifo—to be n suc- cessful Prosident—by opposing his purty and all the personal frionds who will hnve clevated him to power, and seek such support as he will find in the Republic. nn party? Mr, 'T1LoeN knows that ho cannot conduct an Administration without a party. Jacrsox conld not do so. Timce and Bv. cuaNaN wero compelled to submit to the Sauth, then ruling ibo party, Jonnsox and T'yrrn mado tho attempt and failed, and Trr- pEN cannot make himself an exception tothe* universal and juovitable law, Despite Mr. T1LDEN'S present avowed purposa to veto the payment of these Southern clnims, tha coun. try must know thnt o can only do so by abundoning the Democratie party aud appeal- ing toRepublicans for support ; aud the coun- try knows that, when tho time comes, Mr, TrrpeN will not do nuything of the kind, but will go with his purty wherover it may lead. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS, Tho Confederato organ in this city, the reproseutative of the only people who be- lievo in and fought for tho doctrine of Stato Sovereignty, ironienlly snys U'ne Trinune has ndopted this exploded Bourbonism beenuse it spoko of Presidentinl Eloctors as * State officers,” 'The expression wns, of course, uted solely in the souse of the Electors being subject to tho Stptes both as to tho mauner of their selection and the delermination of the choiee of the peoplo. Thoir function is Nationnl, sinco they elect the President nnd Vice-President, but, under the Constitution oud Inw, their selection is vested in ench Stato for itself, If the Confederato organ drew npon fncts instead of its imogination for its nesertions, it would not dispute thin statomont, The Conmstitution says that * Yach Btate shall appoint, in sich manner ns the Legislaturo thorcof mny dircet, o number of Llectors aqual to the whole num- ber of Senators and Represontatives to which the Stato muy he entitled in the Congrosy," I'here i nothing in the Constitution which makes Congress tho judgo of their aelection or empowers that Lody to go bnek of their selection ag provided in the different States. Bupposae, for instauce, the Btate of Illinois shiould fail to provide auy means for nppoint. ing Presidentinl Blectors ; then tho National Governmont might step in to enforce the constitutional provision that *Each Btate slall appoint” ; vat, having appointed the Electors as tho ftate Legislature may have determined, Congress, a3 tho luw stands, has only the nuthority o connt itho votes of those Electors, when they aro presonied properly certified as provided by the lawa of tho Btate. Wo stated this a8 the ** fact,” and as such it ennnot be controverted; but wo have on moro than oue oceasion expressed the opiufon that tho “constitutional pro. vision ought to be changed. The principal renson for the change is thut the voto for President ought not to bo under the local control of tho States, ench for it. self, a4 it now is, but should bo on o uni- form plan by tho whole people without any referenco to State boundaries. It o to achivve this that Mr, MorTox, following in the footsteps of Mr, Benton, ks beon en- deavoring to got an amendment to tho Con- stitution submitted which shall’ disponso with the superfluous and cumborsome sys- tom of the Electogal Collego, and ennblo the peoplo to voto for President and Vice-Presi. dont cither directly or by Congressional dis- tricts, Either plan would nnquestionably place the supervision of the Presidential ¢lection in tho hands of the Uoenerat Govern. moent to a cerlain extout, A Inw similar to that now in force for proventing frauds in tho Congrossionnl elections, aud the exnm- ination of tho returus by Congress, the Su- preme Court, or some other special tribunal of the nation, would naturally follow such o chonge in the wmanner of electing the President. Under tho presont system, Low- ever, ench State judges for itself how it shall enst the voles for President allotted to it Ly tho National Constitution, determines the manner of choosing the Electors, and decides throngh the State officials which set of Electors havoe been chosen by the people. Up to this point the Presidential Electors must bo reganded e ** Btato oficers,” sinco no other Stato nor the Genernl Government lins uny nuthority to interfere, exeept when iuvited by the Governor or Legixlaturo of the §talo to proserve the peace nudd protect citizens s in the casu of South Carolinn, After their kelection the Electors aro proper- ly *nationnl officers” until their limited function is discharged. T'he offort to fmputo any tingo of tho Siate-Sovereiguty Leresy to Tne Trinuse Deeauso it stated simply aud clearly the con. ntitntionnl provisions for the seloction of Presidentinl Electors, ns they are, is puorile in tho extremo. ‘Thero is but one Btato Sover- elguty party loft in tlis country ; it is mnde up of tho men at the South who fought for that doctrine, and their Northern nllics who gave them aid and comfort, and who aro now helping to restors them to the control of tho Government. That party and that design are now oarnestly supported by the Chicago T%imes, 1aving nlrendy possession of ono House of Congress, they desire to so use it for pactisan purposes as to throw out the votes of certain Presidentinl Eloctors who will vole for Ifaves nnd Wueeten, and by the singlo objagtion of that Lody. Wo bave simply pointed out that there is no authority for doing this, either in tho Con- stitution or the law of tho land, as, indeed, thero nover ought to bo; and, until the Con. stitution is changed for tho better, we must abide by tho present preseribed mothod of appointing Electors, which the Constitution vests in each Stato for itsclf in the Iangunge wa have quoted above. R Tho Louisville Courier~fonrnal, in tho course of an nnusnally silly and frothy articlo upon the relations of the North aud South, saya: *They (the Republicans) hato us (the Sonthern Democrats). Their whole policy is to destroy and oxterminate us. All of us fool this—know this, No newspaper in tho North has pursued us more relontlessly than this protended organ of tho commerce of Cincinnati (the Commercial), unless it bo Harper's Weekly nnd Tne Casoaco Triune,” 1t is not only o matter of purpriso but of shamo that a newspaper making such preton. sions to eandor, and respoctability, and intol- ligenco as the Louisville Courier-Journal should put forth reriously such an expression of opinion ns that which we hnve quoted, and the only inferenco that we can draw from it is that it desires by such perversions and misstatements to make tho South Late the North. We take it that the Republicans of the North may differ honestly, and have the right to do 8o, with the cx-Confederates of tho South on mensures of policy and prineiple, without being charged with hatred of tho Southern people. ‘Chey may hato the actions.of Southorn Democrats and White- Liners, their methods of carrying elections Ly fraud and terror, their political persecu- tion of Republivans; thoy may wish to stop it; they my plead, and reason, and arguo with the South that its conduct is brutal, cruel, and uslawiul; thoy may do all this, and yet not hate tho Southern people, If the peoplo whom the Conrter-Jfournal repro- sents desire to be held in esteem by the Northern people, they should behave townrds their political opponents as the people of the North do, Thoy shonld treat them fairly, and allow them to vote without intimidation. The Northern Ropublicans feel sorry for theso Southorn men. Thoy regrot thefr actions. They aro indignant at their cop- duct, Thoy aympathizo with the victims of thoir outrngeous porsecution, but they have no Aatred for them, no desiro, in tho silly, oxaggerated langungo of tho Couricr-Journal, *to destroy and extermi- nato them.” 'l'ake tho caso of Kentucky, fov instance. We defy the Courier-Journal to point out anything that has ever been written in Tne Cinncaco TRIDUNE correspond- ing to this sentiment of hatred, or anything oven that rofleets upon tho character of tho peoplo of that State, Why? Becauso par- secution, murder, and pssassination aro not practiced in that State. Elections ars carried by penceablo mothody, Kentucky Damocrnts do not burn, hang, and murder Republicans, ns the Domocrats do in tho cotton States. The Courier-Journal knows well onough thore would bo no ill fecling but for ill actions, and that paper would act o niore conkistent part, as nu impartial and intelli- font nowspaper, if it would uso its great in- {luence to make tho Southern White-Liners deport themselves botter, instend of nserib- ing auch infamous sentiments to Tmn Om- oago TripuNe. Wo lhave only contended for politieal' tolerntion in the South, nnd urged that, while the 1aajority have the right to rule, they should obtain that right fairly. This is tho lesson and the only lesson Tux Curcago Tnisone hns sought to inculeate, NATIONAL SUPERVISORS OF ELECTION. A groat many people were surprised to rend in yesterdny morning's papers that Tevny G. Misies, Esq., had appeared be- foro Judge DroxntoNp to oppose the ap- pointment of National Bupervisors of Eleo- tion, The roport states that Mr. Mmren contended that such nun appointmont would be an interferonce with State’s Rights, ond thorefora he would oppofo it, Wo bad supposed that Mr, Mmuer had abandoned the State-Bovereignty heresy long ngo, nud nccopted tho doetrine of National Boverecignty, That pestiforous notion when it onco gets posscssion of n wow's mind is ng lned to eradicato as Canadn thistles, not- withstanding a8 a political dogma it is cqually a8 worthless ud noxions as the this. tles, Mr. Mirrendocs not recognize the fact, obvious to most men, that there isa national election this fall for members of Congress, and that alaw of Congress nuthorizes the appointment of Bupervisors of Election. Congresy does not obtain its nuthority from ho Blato Legislatures to provide the moile or manner of clocting Congressmen, Lut do- rives its power from tho Natlonnl Constitut- tion, which is the supreme Inw of the lnnd. "I'he rule, we helieve, is to appoint Supoer- visors from both political partics, in order to prevent illegal voting on either side. Why Mr, Miuen should object to au honest clec. tion is not known. Mo Is a strong Til- donite, and’ there s overy sppenrance of preparations for o great deal of froudulent voting in belalf of ‘I'inpex, Brewann, and Ioxix, and othor Democratic candidates. Falso registration Lns slready Leon dotected ; colonization of persons not entitled to vote is actively going on; gangs of repenters, it is believed, aro being ovgan- ized; steps hava boon taken (o run in droves of aliens by the ald of professional swearers to vate for * Tiupey and Iteform.” To what- ever extout theso intended villainies can be successfully practiced, the voto for ‘Truoex and his ticket will boincrensed, Mr. Minzen can have no doubt that this would be the result of fraudulent voting. But, ns be pro- feuses to desire an honest election, and wants all chenting stopped, and tho partied practic- ing it severely punishod, the wonder is why ho opposes the appointment of Super- visors whose espocial business it will be to protect tho ballot-boxes against fraudulent voting. If 500 vigilant and fearless Deputy Supervisors be solectod nnd rot at work, and they will stop the polling of thousands of bogus votes, thoy will provent falso counting nud ballot-box stufling, and therehy pecura an honest election. But, ag Mr, Mitnen docs not object ta delecting and provonting fraud- ulent voting, his opposition can only rest on the grounds of State.Sovercignty. If he atill ia n Calhonnite, nnd belioves that Hlinols in nn indepondent nation, nnd tho American Republie is only n longue of govor- cign nntions, the same 8 'T1LpEN belioves, thon we ean undorstand why Lo opposos the appointment of Supervigors, although it is difficult to comprehend how ho gots around the provision of tho Constitution which authorizes Congress to provide tho mauner of holding cleotions for Congressman and conducting coulested monts. Judge Dnum- aoND rominded Mr, Minren that tho Domo- crats, two yenrs ngo, at Indianapolis, bnd Leon the first lo domand the exocution of tho nationnl law In relation to Supervisors, aud that Democrats would nat bo very con- sistent in opposing it now., Perhaps it did not oceur to tho learned Judgo that tho re- sistant was probably a Calhounite, who did not believo this country was n nation, but did believe Llinois wns one of the soveroign and indopendent powers of the earth, THE MIKE EVANS CASE. It ia not much wonder that the attornoys representing Mr, Cavuaomay, or really tho people, shonld express nstonisbment ot the opinion delivered by Judge Scorr, of the Su- preme Court, in tho Evans case. ‘The case was n very simplo one as it went to that Conrt; it involved really but ono point, Application by Evaxs for leave to filo o writ of quo warranto had been denied by tho Cireuit Court on the ground that Mr. Carzna- onaN did not onjoy & nuser of tho offico; that is, ho was not yot in full possession of tho offico and excrcising tho duties thereof. If the Bupremo Court believed this position to ba erroneous, it was ita duly to reverse the doelsion of the lower Court, and order the granting of leavo to filo n writ against Oar- LAGTAN inquiring by what nuthority ho ex- ercised the functions of Collector. This would havo brought the merits of tho caso ‘before thio Circuit Court to be dotermined by o formal trisl, But Judgo Scorr did not content himsolf with this; ho entered into a discassion of the merits, which were not formnlly before his Court, docidod that thero was an clection, that the Town Board hod no nuthority to appoint, and that Osvraomayn had 1o claim upon the offico. Judge Scorr's opinion was astonishing, not merely becnuse it wont outside of the issuo beforo his Court, but beeause, having dono #0, ho neglected to roview all the facts in the controversy. His opinion was based merely upon n genoral allegation of fraud. But tho case mado out befors the Town Board was vory different, It wns shown that the ballot- boxes had boon tampored with 1 such a manner thot it was impossible to determine which of tho candidates had been clected from tho most rigid examination of the bal- lots. It was shown that the bnllots from the differont voting precinots woro all dumped togother for the purposo of effucing all traco of tho stuffed bollots. It was shown thint thera wero soveral hundred more ballots in tho pile thns mixed together than there wero names in the recorded list of votors. It was shown that somo of tho men claiming election biad not oven been candidates.

Such an opinion ns this, coming from tho Supromo Court nnd under these circum- slaneos, eannot fail to be dotrimental to the interosts of the poople and to a largo extont subversive of honest clections. Tho case was no ordinary ono of a contested eloction, in which it wns n matter of doubt as to which of two candidates had reccived a ma- jority of tho logal votes onst. It was the samo na if no election had been held, be- enuse the boxes were soized and the legnl vates oxtraoted and frandulent ballots sub- stituted. The infamy of tho proceeding was 50 notorious that the whole city was up in arms, nnd the people woro so outraged that there was freo tolk of taking the law into their own hands and punishing the villaing who had stuffed tho boxes. That the Supreme Court should take up a enso of this kind and romand it on tochnical grounds without oven considering tho full measuro of the outrage perpetrated, and when there was no oceasion and searcoly an exouso for going into tho merits of the controvorsy, must bo au oncouragement to politienl scoumdrels ; and it renders the peoplo more helpless than over in their efforts to socure honest elec- tions, In the faco of such nn opinion, com- ing at the evo of another clection, the per- sous who contemplate committing frauds on tho Dallot-boxes, either for thewsolves or in tho pay of others, will not bo much terrified a6 to any consoquences of their nnlawful nud villainous purposes, Jrit il St P — REDUOED T0 DESPERATION. ‘Whon the cool-blooded butchiories of ne- groed at Hamburg, and Edgofleld, aud Ellen- ton oceurred, from tho Solid Bouth was sent up almost denfening ontery of the despern- tion to which tho White-Liners were reduced by the villainics of carpet-bag misrule, ‘Cho logio of it was that theso excused the slaugh- ter of the blacks,—which they might have dono about as Tween's thieveries would have oxeused tho indiscriminate slaughter of New York Domocrats by plundered taxpayers re- duced to desperntion by tho Boss' misrule, When Wapge Hamerox declared that, by the Titernal, Bouth Corolina should bo ruled by lier nativo sons, and his riflo-cluba outered upon tho canvass to make that threat good Ly going gununing after negroes, the carpet- bag thiovery which liad reduced tho patient nnd long-suffering White-Liners to despern. tion was also dwelt upon, There was more of it when * Gen."” M.

And this puttiog a stop to tho massncre of blacks by the whites so driven to desperation is donounced by Demo- cratic press and orators. And yet what las been the carpet-bag misrule in Bouth Corolina under the CuarsruraiN Administration, which until & fow weokn rinco wns earnestly supported by the Democratio presa and tho Domocrntic party of tho Btato? Ono of the firat things dono by Gov.

By courngeous cxerciss of tho veto power ho defeated tho funding steal, saving to the State $100,000 in funding the floating debt, and effected n roduction in the legislative expenses for his torm of £4350,810, and in the goneral contingent cxponfies of 863,000, 'Lhe reduction during his Administeation has been $1,719,- 488, ns compared with the Administration of his predecessor, Moses, a truly representa- tivo carpot-bagger, Gov, OAMDERLAIN wenl further, Io refused to commission Wireren aud Mosrs, who scoured thelr eloction ny Judges through bribery of tho Legislature; he refused to commission the motoriously fmcompetent and corrupt Republicans, nud removed n number of such from office, ap- pointing in their stend in o number of in. stances of important offiefal trust old resi. dent Dowmocrnts, beeause of their undoubted character and high qualifications. The re- sult wns, that the worst clomenta—tho renl cnrpeb-baggers In bis own party—banded against him or gave uncertain support to his Administration, which the white population of the State, nimost withont dissent, indorsed ns signalized by thorough, gonuine reform, = There is no carpot-bag thiovery in Bouth Carolina to drive tho White-Linera to despern- tion. It wns * tho examplo of Mississippl" and their bitter, unrelonting hostility to tho Fiftoonth Amendmont, nnd their purpose to “run tho Stnto anyhow " that thoy might Xick the niggor out of politics, that made thom desperato and led to tho organization of the rifle.clubs nud tho shot-gun canvass. It is beeanso Gov. CuamsenuaiN, whose Ad- ministration thoy have indorsed and np- plauded throughont, has donounced the ‘White-Line massacres, that thoy now de- nounce his Administration as carpet-bag mis- rulo. Tha desperation to which thoy havo eon driven is simply the desperate endeavor of the old Confedernto eloment to obtain control of the State by tho shot-gun. They wore reduced to somowhat similar despern- tion in 1861, but Unclo Snm's soldiors re. lioved thom of that desporation, ns, it need be, they will of the present desperation, There happened the other day out West an affecting incldent, Which, besides nppealing to the deepest emutions of the heart, has a still greater general Interest n jts bearing upon the temperanee question. On the evening of Oct. 8, n miner named SEEPPARD, or, to bo more par- ticular, DAN SuErranDp, was sleeping in a cabin near Pueblo, when ho was roused by feeling some- thing pinch his shoulder. Hevero pains begin- ning Immediately to shoot frem the wounded part, Mr. SHEPPARD becante convinced that ho hud been bitten by a tarantula. Dreadful thought! Wlo has not heard of the tarantula and its death-dealing bite? Mr. Sueprarp had heard of It, and realized to the full the peril in which ho was placed. But he would not resign himself, coward-like, to his almost cer- tain fate; ho determiued to battle to the lastthe {nsidious polson; und he went systematieally to work to destroy Itseffeets. In lis position some people would have swallowed salts, milk,.or othier nntldotes, or would have eauterized the polsoncd place. Not so Mr. S8ugrrannp, Without o physlclan to ald hiin with advice in this dire extremity, lie intrepldly Inid out bis own plan of treatment aud pursued it through obstacles which would have mads heroes falnt-hearted, With a sublime self-abnegation e overcamne by one strong mental effort the prejudice which miners proverblally posscss agalnst strong drink, aud started out*on o quest for whisky. ‘The slmple language of the narrative. cannot bo tmproved upon: Ii¢ ran up the rallway track to Mr., M.

Tho poisoncd man was now fn o very critlcal condltion, unable to tove, ond ovidently at the very gutes of death, But mark tho effect! The whisky was admins- tered, and ho revived.

It is not at all probable that he would have gone to the trouble of having a tarantula bite him merely for the sake of getting a free drink. A mining man would scorn to descend to such o baso subterfuge.
