As a humanilarion Mr, Brows is well and {avorably known, and this bigh honor is not un.aeritod. An obstract of tha bieuninl roport of the Trustees of tho Northern Insano Asylum is’ submitted to the public this morning. It shiows tho institution to bo carofully falfll. ing the objects for which it was created, Relinblo dispatches from Georgin assert that Wapr, Ropublican, was elected to Con- gress by at least 3,000 majority, but was counted out by the Democrats. Ho might as well bo connted out as contested out, Heo Iind no nght to interfers with the Bolid South, The body of thio late A. 'F, Brzwanr has boon found, and the perpotrators of the out. rago ara known, though thoir names wero 1ot givon to the public last night. An ofil- cial snys when the names are published the people of New York will bo thoroughly astounded. The National Woman’a Sulfrage Associn- tion yesterday elected Mrs, Renkcoa N, Haz. zapp, of Missourl, President; Col. T. W.

Action was taken looking to a repeal of the stamp tax on propristary goods, to the requirement of a 1more competent examination as to the quali. fication of persons desiring to practice pharsoy, to the discoursgement and pre. vention of adulteration in drugs and medi. cines, and to the limitation of credita. e ppeE———— The County Board has voted to reduce to 25 cents per day the Sheriff's allowance for dieting prisoncers, the change to take effoch ouly when the Democratio Sboriff shall hiave rotized sud the Republican Bheriff-elect eatered upon the duties of his office. ‘This spasm of post-mortan economy is eminently: sbarsctorlstio of the old Board.

With friendly earnest- ness the British Secretary of Foreign Affairs insists npon the comatruction which her | Majesty's Government has put upon the Treaty of Washington. IHe lays down, he #ay8, na naw piinoiples of international law, but fortifies his demands by ample afidavits, The communication fs as courteous as it is carefuily prapared. A Attorney-General Duvens was yesterday engaged in arguing before the Supreme Oourt the question whether the United Stales kas the constitutional #ight to prohibit polygamous marriages in the Torritories, Grorox Rervorps had been convicted in the Territorial courts, and in bis appeal mainly rested on the plea that polygamy was & ro- liglous duty,which Mr, Dxvxs most effactu. nlly disposed of by comparing the Mormons to East India thugs, in that they rioted in maurder s a religions daty. A Cincinnati Alderman and reatous Domo- orat named J. J, Kerrr undertock the Erst Horranp game, snd got caught. At the late sleation he was industrious in procuring ille- gnl votes, was detected, and yestorday con- victed in the United States Court. Another boisterous Democrat, a Lisutenant of Police, is nlso under indictment for cursing and driving a Foderal Supervisor away from the polls. Someof the same sort of law and justice is what is needed among the bull, dozers ?ml ballot-box stuffers of the South. Gen, Snrmr sonual report in it are ralghment of the Government’s Indian policy is looked upon in Washington as part of a proconcerted move by tlio army generally upon the Interior Departmeont, and is ex- citing much attention. That Department, whilo not assuming the offonsive, ia Willing to stand by its record. One army officer charges the Dopartment with not supplying o cortain tribe, which, npon investigation, is found not to bo entitled to the Government bounty. The Interior Department believen tha charges of mismansgement and negleot are solely made for tho purposs of seouring a tranafer of tho Indian Bureau to tho War Doportment, The Washington dispatohes reprosent the President as nnwilling to be regarded as hav- ing changed or absndoned his Southern polioy, or as having confessed it to be a failare, He is said to Liave authorized tho statement that hig policy toward the South will remain what it always has beon, a polioy of pro- tection to the citizen of whatover political party 10 the exercise of his political rights, and that the only changas he !l“ uodergone is a changa in his eatimnto of the Bouthern character. Ho means now as horotofors that the Constitution and laws guaranteeing nabsolata political equality shall be eoforced wherover thoy may Lo disregarded, only he now soes more reason than ever bafors for directing special atteution to such enforce- ment in the South, Whether his polioy has Leeu changed or not, it ia quite evident that the Presidont *‘monus business” from this time forth, and that, 80 far aa the niggardly appropriations of & Democratio Congrene will pormit, the power of the Government will be exerted to punish the violonca and frand that liava run riot in the South until it seomed that & day of reckoning would never coma, 3 THE SILVER CORTROVERSY. Tho gold cligue have deliborately reopened the silver controversy. Tho movement is a concertod one. All the organs have beon improssed mto the service, and are engagoed in reiterating tho old falachoods nud contrib. nting new ones. ‘The fight is bound to be ns solfish and unscrupulous as it was before, with the disadvantage on the side of tho mouoy-londors that thoy are now making an open effort to imposo offonsive legislation upon tlo pooplo, while boforo thay were defending o demonctization that had beon prooured surreptitiously if not fraudulently. Wo cannot but rogreb that tho status of silver has vot been allowed to stand as it now Is, for it would have boon batier for.the time- being, perhaps, to abide by restricted colu- age; but the gold clique are not content with this, and are detormined upon forcing a ohange, The only chango thoy will get ls tho passage of o lnw providing for the freo coinage of silver, and placing that coin on precisely tho same footing as gold in our monetary systom. There is no doubt that this js the true position of silver in this country, and the.nctlon of the New York banks and the offensive tone assumed by the gold organs will establish thia relation sooner than it could otherwise have Leen brought about, i It is only n fow days since the question wns reopened, and yet there {s already a full crop of lies ready for harvest. Without taking tho palus to parcel these falschoods ont among thelr originators, it may still be worth while to expose some of them for the puroose of showing how utterly rupu. lous tho orgaus of the gold cliqus are: Lie No. 1.—That silver has deprecinted 15 per cont. ‘Tho rolative value of a commod- ity cannot bo dotermined by a comparison with o siogle aud cxceptional standard; it Is governed by the average or run of values. Bilver does not hold the same ratio of value to gold that it hipld & fow years ago, parily Lecause its monetary ainploymens has large. ly decreased by domonetization in Germany aud this country, and partly becsuse the stock of gold is contracting as compared with the domand for it. “But almost any other given commodity may be taken, and it will be found that tho value of silver has uot deereassd; but on the contrary bas increased, within the last few years. An ounce of silver will to-day purchase more flour, meat, cotton, ‘wool, iron, or coal, than au ounce of silver would have purchased five years ago, though the silver dollar was relatlvely worth more than the gold dollar at that time, Bo a silver dollar will to.day purchase more of the neces- sary articles of life than could bave been procured for o silver dollar five years ago, Lis No, 3.—~That remonetization of silver was “‘sa attempt to make 85 conts’ warth of silvers dollar.” 'Tbe fact is that the remon. +tized silver dotlar contains just 8714 grains of pure silver, which is precisely the amount i{ contained befors it wos demonetized, and preciscly the amount it had always contained from the very foundation of the Govern- went. It wes this standard dollar of 8714 graios pure sllver which constituted ‘100 conta, so that it {s obriously false and riditu. lous to say that it mow amounts to only 85 conta, 15 per cont in the purchasing power of the greenbacks and bankenotes, amonnting to ong hinndred million doltare, by maintaining the standard silver dollar. The -fact Is, that the grecnbaeks and bank-notes aro not now worth within one-cighth of 1 per cont as mnuoh s the standard silver dollsr m which they aro redecmabls nlong with gold. To make them actunily interchangeable with the standard ilver dollara on demand wonld in- cronss thetr valne to that extent, instead of diminishing it. Greenbacks and bank-notes are not property, bnt only promises to pay; their purcliasing valua depends ultimately on their redeomability, and the aggregate rela. tive value of all forms of property will be increasod by making these grocnbacks rep. resent tho donble standard inatead of A con. tracted and insnfficient standard of gold alone,—on which basis they probably could not be redeomed at nll, Lis No. 4,~That the vast ompito of Indin ‘*is roported” to have adout decided to adopt the gold standnrd. There is and has been no such report ontaide of the invention of thoso in this couniry who have put it forth, There is not the smallest likelihood that tho use of silver ms monoy will be abandoned in Indin. The English peopls themselves would be stricken with alavm at any such action, for they would be brought face to face with tho prospect of losing their own stock of gold and sufforing more from hard times than they do now. It may pay England to abide by the single gold standard, 0 long 08 tha silver standard or the double standsrd shall prevail in a largo part of the commeroinl world; but England would share in the common disaster if the monetary use of ailver should be discontinned everywhere, and the entire commerce of the world should be thrown upon tho inadeqnate basis of gold alone. Lie No. 5.—That tho Statesof tho Latin Union are * glutied " with silver, and that the people find it & burden. It is truo the Latin Unjon have suspendad the free coinngo of silver as a protection ngainst German de- monotization ; but it is also truo that, at the rate of 15} to 1, whila our silver dollaris at the rate of 16 (o1, France keeps between £300,000,000 and $400,000,000 of silver at par with gold, and has enjoyed nn easy money-market and steady prospority, while QGermany, Great Britain, and tho United Statos havo bean suffering a long poriod of depression. It would take six years, na the law now stands, befora thero would bo as much eilver in cirenlation in this country as there now is in France. 'Theso are a few of the falsclioods sot aflont ,88 b besls for & domand that the Silver bill shall be repenled. Aro the poople crazy who make this demand? Have thoy forgot- ten that the presont Bilver bill, providing a limitod and restricted coinage, passed both Houses of Congress by mors than two-thirds mnajority? Don't they know that even this tremendous majority fell short of the publie sentiment in favor of rostoring the silver dollar to our monelary syatem? Cau't they see that, if tho isaue ba forced upon Con- gress ngain, the result will be o open the doors wider still,’'and provido for frae ocotn- age and silver certifioates procisely aa in the case of gold? 1If the monoy-lendors are de- termined there sball be a slugla standard in this country, thoy will find that it will boa silver and not a gold standard. ' THE SUBSIDY CONVENTION, Home few weeks ago there was n meeting hold in this city, called by several gontlomon engaged in tha promotion of proteotion and cheap money, At whith Gen, Busser, of Now Orloans, was present, and mado” an- earneat speech on * 'the " mubject of granting subsidies by the .Government to varlous projectod schiemes. As & rosult of this meeting it was resolved that o Convention, primarily called to oot at New Orloans, but which could not conveniontly be held there becauso of the yellow-fevor, should bo held in Oblcago Nov. 12, and that all 8tates, cities, and towns in tho conntry bo invited to send dolegates to comsider the measures necessary to promote an inerease of our trade with foreign countries, Invitationa ‘were scnt broadcast all over the country, and on lnst Tucsday the Oonvention met in this city. The Mayor of Clicsgo appointed a hundred or more citizona to attend the Con- ventlon, Tho body liad hardly met befors the pur- poso to usa the occasion to advocate subsi- dies {o railways and ocean atenmships was uvidont, and as this city and its people uro opposed to all such schemes, and thosa of the Obitago dslegates who attended so wald and so voted, it pleased sovoral delegates from other parta of the country to doclaro that Chicago had got up the Couvention, und had got the dologates herein o trap, Tho Convention waa uot callod in the interoat of Chicago, Befora any cocsiderable number of our peoplo had heard of anything relating to it, the call Lad been issued, There was no ‘trap”about it. Finding that the Convention had been adroitly packed to bolster up Tox Scorr's Toxas Pacific Railway job and other proposed robberies, the Chicago delogates merely protosted against having the resolu- tions adopted golng bofors the country na an expression, of the sentiments of the people of this city. During tho discussions in the Convention it was frequently statod that Illinois Lad profited largely from the subsidy business; that in 1850 Congross had made a grant of 1aud to aid in the construction ef the Illinols Central Raflway, and therefore Illinols ought not to object to & subsidy to other roadsin other sactions of the country. There would bo some force in this objection if thore wore soy similarity Iff the facts. Congross in 1850 granted in aid of the Illinois Railway cach alternate section for six milos on each gide of the road; the alternate sections of land held by the Governmont to be there. alter sold at $3.50 per acre, belng doubls the maximum price asked for Government land, Thisland had been in the market for thirty years, and had been vainly offored for sale, some of it as low aa 80 cents an sore. . The result was that the Government sold every ocro of the reserved land ab $2.50 per acre for cash, thereby gotting the full sum of money for which it would have sold the whole land at apy time. during the thirty years previous. The action of the Government was that of any prudent, proprietor. It waa followed by like'grants to other States and to all tho Pacific Rall. roads. Tom Beorr’s Pacifie Road hlu,hmt geant from the United . States of 21,000,000 acres, and perhaps 8,000,000 acros {rom tho Stato of Texas. This grant js equal to, or wore than, twice as’many acres per mile 63 the grapt to the Ilinois Rosd It will be seep that the gramt of land of which the Tozas Pacflo JRoad is In possession was ‘twice a8 great per mils as to the Illinois Road, and therefore the Texas }hld esunot com- plain of sy injustice. No one asks to take awoy the land. But when it is proposed to add to tho land that the United States shall guarantze the iuterest on the bonds of Lis No. 3.—That there would be & loss of | the Cowpany at tho rate of $35,000 per wile far 1,700 miles, the bonds to bear fnterest at & per cent for forty yoars, the wide differ eneo hotwaen the iwo caten becomes very plain,—a blind man ean almost ree it. The total intersat which the United Statos is arked to guarnntee will nggrogate over 3120, 000,000, to be secured by a second mortgags, the first being for nbont 60,000,000 pripoi. phl of tho bouds. Not one dollar was over 'takon ont of the Treasury, or asked for, to build the’ Iltinois Central Railrond. Tho reference to the Illinois case as a precedent for the lonn of oredit to Tom Boorr's rond by the vociferous gentleman from Bt, Louis was far-fotchod, impertinent, false, and ma. licious, Land, howevor, will not satisfy the lobby, ovon it it will build railronds, Itis soid that dogs who have once feasted on matton there- after relish no other meat. The enormous swindle of over $100,000,000 on the Union ‘and Central Pacific Rnilwaya have given the American lobby a distasto for land or any other form of grant mave bonds or cash. Their {dea of a raflroad {s o plausible pre- toxs for a subsidy, Tt a aubsidy is not need- ed, these poople care nothing abont the road. The Atchison, Topeka & Kansas Rnilrond liag o grant of land so far as it runs through Knnsas, but nothing for the 1,000 miles be- yond. It is bnilding rapidiy by means of private capital, and asks no subsidy. Tho Texas pilingers ask £35,000 a mile bond sub. sidy. The road itself ean bo huiltfor $15,000 amile the differenca of $20,000 per mileis the grand sleal, to promote which the lobby from Now Orloans to Maine is howling 'in conventions, lying in nowapapers, and In- sidionsly bribing and corrupting wheraver it onn, Itis 220,000 a mile for 1,700 miles that is the motive power which will fill Wash- ington tho coming winter, demanding that “ commerce be promoted.” It is claimed, however, that the Central and Union Pacifio Roads oxact excessive rates for transportation, and thoroforo there must bLe competition. Did the unsophisticated children who enme here from Pittsburg, St. Louls, and New Orleans, over hear of such a thing na railréad combination and pooling of recolpta? If the rival railronds cast of the Misuissippi River to the Atlantic can nnd do pool, why not the roads west of the Missouri River do the same? Competition in xallway ‘business thoans combination. ! Tha competition in transportation is alone furnished by tho water routes or the lakes and canals from tho East to the West, and by tho Mississippi River from St, Lounis to Now Orlesns, These nlone, and not railroad compatition, control thd rapacity of railrond ‘combination. Thore can be no objection to Congress by law placing.n maximum rate for transportation on all. lsnd-grant subsidized rallroads; and let such law bo enforced by sthe most vigorous penaities. Thero ia the romedy for over-ohargirig. But subsidizing Tox Boorr's raiiroad will accomplish notually nothing in reducing f;‘elgbta; it will meroly strongthen the combination, 8nch & propo- sition is an insult to popular intelligence, es. ‘pecially In the light of the costly expericnce of the pnst. HuntiNaIg, as tho hend of n railroad to the Pacifle, will be no more rapacions in his exactions than will Yoorr, or Vawpemsiut, or Jewerr, or GannzrT. They ara all nlike in thamattor of oxiortion 'to tha extent of thalr.’fiflfiorlnnitlss. The animus of the late Convention was hardly disguised. Tl }ehauunl are over, Many of the prosent,membors of Congross have not boen ro-eleotad.)‘Thoir tormx expire Jon the 8d of March ne fi‘, It isassumed that this Is tho favorablo time to tempt the wonk- nens of rotiring memb ce the Iobby ia Aronaod for fha‘grand s\ o-ls oxcited to vigorous action preparatory Lo fensting on the carcass of legislativd morality, The birds of proy from far and wile will flock to Wash- ington this .winter; thysgrand movement on the Troasury must be made during theninoty days of this winter's sotxion.

The red-shirted Demgcrats of South Caro- lina have at last succended in making that Btate “*solid.” Thoy havo olected or rather counted in every nifmber of Congross. ‘Thoy havo carried evory: county in the State, In 1876 they had majoiitios in only eighteon of tho thirty-two counlles. The remaining fourteen countios gavé 81,288 Republican majorlty, which is now entirely wiped out. Tho Legislature now stands 150 Democrats in both Housos to 8 Republicana! The Chasleston News, and Courier says: “Theso figures, better- than words, measure and explain the political rovolution in South Carolina,” A few words, howover, will ox- plain how these figurés were obiained, and lhow the revolution was accomplished. What intimidation, and threat, and display of military force falled to securo, was accom- plished by that last rasort of dosperate men —ballot-box stuffing, snd it was practiced with a degree of bolduess that would have mnde Tammany ashathed oven in its palmiest days of, fraud. Every poll was in the hands of ‘Democrats. No Republican judges or inspectors wore allowed. The Super. visors appointed under the lawe of the United Statea were either driven off or were obliged to stand and witness the infamous frauds without the power to prevent them, or even tho opportunity to protest against them. Dy the use of the small tivsue-paper ticket luclosed in the large regiater ticket, a voter was ¢nabled to cast at lenst twenty votes, By this liberal style of' individual voting, it happened that in some precincts there were four times os many Democratic votes cast asthero wore voters of all parties in the preoinot. In other precincts, the judges deliberately picked out the Repub- lican votes, threw tbum away, and substi. tutod unvoled packages of tickets. Tho stufing was evon carried beyoud all limits of necessity, so that the Democratic majority. all over the Btate is larger than the namber of Domocratio votors, Under such ciroumstances as theso it be- comes tho duty of the threo Republican can. didates for Cougress—Mackry, Raivey, and Baarzs—to give notice of a contest, so that there may be an fuvestigation of thess in- famous outrages. ‘The whole delegation should be thrown ont and new election’ ordered. They havo never been electod at all, They will bring with them to Wash. ington cortificates honeycombed with fraud. If the Democratio Houso persists in scating thetm, lot them do it, but the Republicans must seo to it that tho odium’ resls where it Lelongs. The statwp of fraud wmust be placed upon the Democratic party so that i} caunot, be offaced, and it must be madp to bear tha, infamous respousibility,, J¢ the South Caro-. lina delegation is admlited to seats iu Con- gress,’ thoy will bold seats to which they never wero eleoted, and not only they, but the party which shiclds them in ‘this wrong, inust be allowed no opportuvity to shirk or escape responuibility therofor. The Bolid South hus'carriod thae joko too for this tiwe, It Les disfrunchised an entire party. It haa soized the ballot-box by foreo, and manipulated it to earry out its own ends, It lins sent n delegation to Jongress who do not represant the paople of Bonth Carolina, aud who never were cleoted by thom. It has defled the Conatitution and the laws, denfed all the rights of the people, taken away the cloclive franchise, and set up an oligarchy in placo of the demioeratis principles upon which our Government fs conduoted, 'Tho dimtensions of this ontrnge extend beyond the loenl limita of Banth Cavolina, It is a crimo 8o grave in character and stariling in consequences ns to demand tho cognizance of the peopla of the whole conniry. Let them demand, thereforo, either that this del- cegntion shall bo thrown out or that an inves- tigation sholl bo made which will fasten the responaibility npon the Democratio party. It i3 o crime not to be condonad or palliated. It haa gone tao far. — PRINTED JOURNALS, As regnlnrly as the Ganeral Assembly con. venos comes up in aoma shape or othor that old and throndbare proposition to moke o printed racord of ench day's procecdings; and ns regularly has the sobor honeaty of a majority of that body pub it nwsy as & temptation not even to ba looked upon. It ia a proposition which has as its fonndation # desire npon tho part of somo impecunious printing firm to get its hands into the, State Troasury 3 it is & proposition indefensible from any standpoint of precedent, necossity, or oven common use, Two yenrs ago it come up in this shapa: Mr., Bor.

After giving tho resolution careful considoration, this Committes roported it Lnck with the explanation that it wonld cost €25 o doy if printed in jouwrnal form, and 25 aday if printed in o Bpriugfield dally paper. The report was without recommendation, and upon motion nf Judge Harrzy, of Jas- per, was indefinitely postponed. Bome years sgo the Genernl Assombly ox- perimonted with this question of printing the journals daily, and abaudoned it for the reasons that tae expenso was wholly dispro- portionate to the valuo recolved, and was a useless expenditare of tho people’s money. But now the proposition is bronght forward atew In the blennfal report of Mr. Becrolary- of-Stato Hanrow to the Governor. The Bec- retary rocominends— The dally 'mlnllcnunn of evary day's proceed- Ings, to betald on the deek of each inember tho morning following, thus piviog to ovory one the oppurtunity to correct any orrors In tiielr rscord tint might apoear, and the clerk conld aleo see i each step in tegiulation had been taxen as the law glrfiu and been properly notod in the journal kept y him, The Secratary does not put it on ths usual ground of public convenlence, but wants the Jjournal printed that * the clork can see if ench stop in leglalation Lias boon taken as the law directs.” It has been the custom of each Houso of the General Assombly to provide itaelf with an army of clerks, and ‘certainly thore ought to.be somo one of them with intelligonco enough to keep tho fournal correatly and ns’ tho law dircots, The brief exporienco tha State has had with printed journals demonstrated- that they ‘sorved to multiply, embarrass, and delay loglslation, ‘'The proposition, we repent, is utterly indenfensible, and it is to bo regrotted that it hos recoived tho oilcial sanction of tho Boorotary of Btato, T ""ITME PRESIDENT AND THE SOUTH. The policy of magnnnimity ‘and concilia- tion has beon tried twico with the Southern Statos. At the closs of tho War of . the Ra- bollion Presidont Lixcory's sttitnde toward the conquored people was ona of exiromo gonerosity, Ho had had barely time ta foroshadow it when he was nassassinatod. Tho people of the North were not indis. posed to support the policy of magnanimity propoged by Liyooww; Lut npon the acces- sion of Jouwnson it bocame evident thnt it was entirely impracticable,—~Impracticable solely on nocount of tho rovival of passion and {il-temper ot the South. No sooner way Jouxson folrly sonted in the White House than ho gave indicatious of a purpose not moroly to treat the conquered Bouth gener- ously and charitably, but to reward it for nots of rebellion. And the Bouth soized with avidity the apparent opportunity not to bo reconciled, but to be ravenged. 8o evident was this temper that the Repub- llcon party was compelled not only to roaist the apirit of Bouthera aggression but to ro- pudiate the man- who bstrayed so doters mined a purposs to pandor to its impudont demands. President Havza inaugurated tho second great effort ot conciliation, He was pledged to it in the Republican vational platform, in his accoptance of the nomination, and in his innugural he promised to keep these pladges, e did 80 most faithfully, so falthfully, indeed, that ho destroyed for a time the unity of tho party by which he was electod, nearly split ting 1t in twain, No guarantee sought by Bouthern Demooratio leadors was refused by Mr. Haxes. Ilo placed ona of their number in his Cabinet ; he appointed Boutharn Demo- crats to Federul offices in the South; he withdrew the army from its Bouthern sta. tious ; ho counseled with tho wmost distine guished Bouthern statesmen, and acted upou thelr advice in pulting into operation a thor- ough policy of hoarty concilintion. All he asked in roturn was an assuranco that thers should be peace, that Bouthern Republicaus, both whita and colored, should be protected in all thelr civil aud political rights, It is not enough to eay’ that this request of the President was granted. He was assured, with every appomance of slucerity, that there' was nothing the South so much desired a8 poaco; that the re- moval of fthe army would allay all jrritation, and that theroupon outrages upon the rightsof the colored people would and should absolutely cuaso. This cowpact, if compact it ‘may DLe called, was mado with Gov, HawmeroN, of Bouth Curolina, and Gov, Niouorzs, of Louisiana, and their eido of it was guaranteed by such wmen as Goo, Goz. pox and Bes Hitw ' Hanerox sud Nicuor s’ hiad the pawer to carry out thalr compaot, if such a compact cau Le exccuted in behalf of the Bouthern people by anybedy, ‘The ‘late electlon in those Biates shows con- clusively that they havo wutterly failed, whether from desigo on their part or not it i not necessary to Inquire, It happeus that, in the Blates : whose ohiof executive ofices arg hold by Hawerox sud Niomovrs, tho lato eleotions proved .40 bo tragic farcea. ‘The very things that- Himrron sad Niozorrs solemnly assured (he President would not and «bould uok bo doue were done.' . Repub- lican . meotings wera broken up and dispersed by violence, the fresdom of speech wos abolished, - and ‘unofending citizens were shot to death for opiulon's sake solely, Pu the day of election the polls ‘wera tocated at such jnncconsible places aa to discournga Republican voters; they ware given into the hands of Democratie officors alono bands of nrmed men Invested them on overy hand and intimidated Republicana, and in many casos notunlly killed them in the very nct of attempting to exerciso the sacred right of enffrags. And when all these dinbolieal conlrivances failed to turn tha geale in favor of the Démoorncy, tha bale lot.bozen wera atuffed with falsé balléts by the thousand, These crimes against free governmont which Hameron and Ntomorrs declared should cease forover from the face of their Btates nt lonst wero openly and audaclously committed from one end to the other of their Biates,—committed 'mors openly and mora audaciously in their States thinn' in any other States of the Bouth! Np wonder that the Prosident regards his Bonth- orn polioy as a disastfous failare. No won. ner that ho signifies a purposs to punish rigorously and to tholast man the acoundrels who have not only go abusad his confidoneo Lut violated tho Iaws of the land. District-Attornoy Lroxann, of Louisiana, formerly o Confederate oflicer, tells a fenrfal story of the intimidation practiced in his State. It was not intimidation simply. The colored Ropublicans wera so bent vipon exer- cising the tight of suifrage that to stop them it beeamo necessary to shoot them down in thoir tracka on the way ta tha polls? and it Is searcely necessary to say that they wero shot down!™ Twenty-fivo, or fifly, or geventy- five freo citizens of Louisiana were shot dead on the 5th of Novembor beoause thoy offerad to vote the Republican ticket | Bupervisors of Election nppointed by tho anthotity of the Unjted States wero kicked and cuffed awny from tho polls, and trented with the contumely only nccorded to criminals by semi-barbarons Goévernnmients. And, ba it boruo in mind, not becanse they were pre- sumed to be proteoting tha interosts of car. pot-bog eandidates for office. Oh,no! Thero wora no carpet-baggers standing for office, Mr, LroNARD eays: ‘* The Republican can- didates were natica Southern men, dut the ‘Democrata had announced that the Republicans aliould not be permitted to earry the election,” There {s no more freedom of spoech and po. litienl action for tho native Boutbron mnow than thero waa formerly for a oarpet-bagger, The negroes of Caddo Parlsh this year nom- inated native Southrons to office, but, when they nppeared to voto for them, thoy wore shot down lke dogs!' Mr. LronanD says: ‘¢ Tho probability is that seventy.five negroce toere killed in that locality alone, and the un. burled bodies of many of them are being preyed upon by animals, Large humbers of negroas hiave fled to the swampa,” In the prossention of the mnrderors of theso citizens tho Prosident will have the ‘Thearty support of all honest men and good citizans, And if “the Demoeratio parly chodses to hold aldof, let it suffer the con- sequences. & —— THE NORTH CAROLINA FRAUDS, The Bourbons of North Carolina are not Lehind the Bourbons of South Carolina in tho fraud business, Tho mothods differ, but the results aimod at are the same: In thred of tho Congrossiona!l Districts Repub- licans wero fairly olected. Having bsen cleotod, it is now proposed to ¢ount them outunder a law passod by the last Deir‘w« oratic Legislaturc for this express purpose, This law gives the proolnet and .county officers of eloction, who aro all Domoorats, power to rovise and correct reiurns. ‘Theo systom of . revislon and ocorrection in these distriets will bo to oxpuoge the Republican majorities upon all sorls of quibbles, and thus rotura threo Democraié~tmr their places, Inthe other disiricts of the State, Domo- cratd wors electod by ‘a howv style of fraud, which conslsted in taking the regiatration lists befors .the polls woye open and marking off tho names of colored Ropub- lioans, nod thon informing them when they offered their votos that thelr namos had beon marked off for some reasons not known to the jtdges and so their votes could nob be rocalved. By this meana six Democrats wers clectod, and by tho revision plan the three Topublicans who weroolected will bo counted out, 80 that the Stato will send » solid Demo- cratia delegation to Congress. In Louislana, tho Domocratio delegation was mada solid by distthnohisemont of the binck Republicans, In- Misslssippt no negro dares to vate, so thero was no trouble there, In Alabome, the ouly Republican who dared to rum, Jxma Hairnarsoy, woe undoubtedly elected, bat luy nfority will never bo allowed to nppear, In South Csrolins, ballot-box-stufug by meaus of tissuo-paper votes returned a solid Domooratic delegation, and now the Repub- lican State of North Carolina comes noxt as solidly Demooratio, the work of fraud have ing beon dons both before aud aftor oleation, It is ovident ecnough that the Noarbon loaders in the Bouth have ooolly and systemn- ntioally dotermined that no Republican aball go to Congross from that section, and we may expect to hcar shortly that the Ropub. lican member in Plorids las been swindled out o his election. The South will go into the next Congress solidly Democratic, s one of the results of tho President's SBouthern policy. Many of its alloged stombers of Conyress will go to Washinglon with certifi. cates atamped will fraud, sud thero is no Lope that there fa honesty euofgl smong the Northern Democrats to deoline to Jot them have seata to which thoy wore never elocted. Under those circutnstauces, it be- comos the duty of thosa who are ontitled to their senls to give notice of contest, and for tho lepublican members to boldly challengs thoright of the Sonth tobroak into the Flouse and steal Republican seatw.
