For a Constitutional tonflment
WHEREBY
THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES
Van Vote Directly for
President & Vice President.
The People Awakiuy.
The people have waited long, and
with a patience that has command
ed the respect of the whole civil
ized world. They waited to be
convinced of the fraud in Louisi
ana, waited patiently while the
voV.s were being thrown out that
hnd been honestly cast for lilden.
When the Returning Board for the
second time buried itself in infamy,
and declared the vote of the State
for a man whom the vote of the peo
plo had rejected, slill the people
waited. They were waiting to
know whether Congress would sus
tain this wicked act. Before long
it became apparent that the Presi
dent and the Senate would sustain
it, would carry it. out to completion
by every devicij in their power.
When the utterances or the Presi
dent, and of Prominent Iiepubli
cans, in Congress and out, and the
tone of the Republican press, made
this fact clear, the people began to
wake up. They woke up to the t.it
uation in Indiana, where a conven
tion of the whole State has been
called. They are waking up all
over the Union, and soon every
city, every town, every village and
every hamlet will be ablaze with in
dignation at the attempt of a party
to steal the Presidency. The hon
est men who voted for Hayes will
join hands in this movement with
the men who voted for Tilden. It
is no longer a question of politics,
but of principle. Let the Repub
lican managers who would steal
our votes beware! Already the
hand-wilting is gaming on the
wall, and their destruction is sure
to follow!
The National Democratic Com
mittee issued an address last
Wednesday simply announcing the
result of the vote of the" electoral
college and congratulating the peo
ple on their victory for reform.
Zack Chandler got it before it was
printed and sent out with it the
next morning the most diabolical
manifesto that the devil could in
spire him to indite. He says: "The
address is an imprudent and auda
cious attempt to prejudice and per
vert public sentiment. Hayes and
Wheeler are elected, and the will of
the American people will be carried
out and maintained." Was there
ever such villainous impudence?
The democrats simply announced
the result of the vote, and he calls
it audacious, while he, the saiut,
says that Hayes and Wheeler are
elected, while a quarter million pop
ular majority and a decided elec
toral majority slap him in the lace
and tell him that he basely lies.
His premise is a malicious slander,
his argument is a miserable lie and
his corrollaiy is a cowardly thrrat.
A member of Grant's cabinet says
boldly and defiantly and threaten
ingly that Hayes and Wheeler will
be inaugurated. Now, verily doth
conspir.at.ors meet in open council
while treason stalketh at noonday
cl'Hhed in the stolen robe ot au
thority The Morton bill to regulate the
counting of the electoral vote, which
passed theSenate last summer, but
was recalled from the House of rep
resentatives, will probably pass
both houses of Congress this ses
sion. This bill provides that where
there is only one'return the concur
rence of both houses shall beesseu
tial to throw out the vote ot a
State, but where there is more than
one return, it shall require tha con
currence of both houses to count it.
These provisions will cither have
the effect to count Tilden in on the
14th ol Feb'y, or throw the election
into the House. In either event,
Tilden will be elected.
Supervisor Clover, of East Baton
Rouge, La., whose affidavit which
accompanied the returns represent
ed that riot, tumult, violence, fear,
dread, and terrorism prevailed
throughout the parish on the day
of election, has acknowledged on
cross-examination before- the con
gressional committee that he did
not witness any violence, but was
informed of it. He testified further
that his affidavit and accompanying
returns were prepared in the cus
tomhouse in New Orleans.
Grant says he "a ill sco that
Hayes is inaugurated if it takes the
army and navy to do it." This is
an open declaration of war. And
besides, what right will he have to
"sec" that anybody "is inaugura
ted?" lie will not then be Presi
dent. His term will have expired
at noon on the day before, and he
will then be nothing more than a
private citizen.
Sayings of Presideut Grant, com
plete: "I propose to move iinmedi
, attly upon your works." "Let us
have peace." "These annual au
tumnal outbreaks." "Let no guilty
rran escape if it can be avoided."
"No man worthy of the offlce can
otTwrd to be counted in." "D n
the Supremo Court."
State Convention.
We call upon the Democratic
State Committee to issue its call
for a convention to tie held at Nash
ville on January Sth to protest
against the past, present and pros
pective villainy of the administra
tion, to rebuke the conspirators at
Washington, and to demand that
the expressed will of the people be
carried into effect by the peaceable
inauguration ot Tilden and Hend
ricks. Indiana makes the call and
the States should all respond. This
is a constitutional resort and may so
stun the conspirators as to render
unnecessary an appeal to arms.
The Stars and Stripes.
Such is the name of a new secret
political order which is being rap
idly organized by the radicals
throughout the country, for the
purpose of inaugurating Hayes at
all hazards. Gov. Hantraft, of
Pennsylvania, President Grant, Gen.
Sherman, and Major W. H. Decker
seem to be the prime leaders in this
treasonable and rebellious move
meet. They should be arrested
upon the charge of treason.
Hon. David Hubbard, an old citi
zen of Lawrence county', Ala., and
a prominent politician of other
days, died at Holly Springs, Miss.,
last month. Maj. Hubbard was 85
years old. tie was a member ot
Congress long before the war, and
was first beaten for that offlce by
Hon. Geo. S. Houston, now Gov
ernor of Alabama.
Senator Morton is reported as
saying in the presence of three
gentlemen at the Ebbitt House, one
of whom repeats the remark to Gen.
Banning, that the Northern Demo
crats would not fiirht and had no
grit in them, and all the Republi
can party had to do was to move
thi3 thing through.
The indications are that the rad
icals have about abandoned the un
tenable position and impudent as
sumption that t erry is to count in
the President. Morton's bill will
pass both houses, and its provisions
will solve the problem peaceably,
and, we believe, elect Tildei.
Wade Hampton was peaceably
inaugurated Governor of South Oar
olina on the 14th, and delivered a
ringing, hightoned, conservative ad
dress, which was received with great
enthusiasm by the immense crowd
in attendance. There was no dis
turbance whatever.
the crisis is near at liana in
South Carolina. Chamberlain will
attempt to arrest Wade Hampton
with special constables. Hampton
says he will surrender to a corporal
of the U. S. army, but never even
to fifty thousand of Chamberlain's
constables.
President Grant is the chief bull
dozer of the nation. Ho impudent
ly confesses to Congress that he
sent troops into Virginia on the rep
rescntations of an irresponsible, un
named radical. Impeachment is a
heap too good for such a president.
It has been decided in the courts
that if a partner of a dissolved firm
neglect to give notice through the
newspapers, of a dissolution of
partnership, he is equally liable with
his late partner for all debts con
tracted after dissolution.
Aud now comes Senator Key
again voting in favor of Senator
Edmunds' bill to refer the electoral
vote to the Supreme Court. He is
the only Senator claiming to be a
democrat who voted for this irafa
mous proposition.
The cold on thc-day of the inter
mcnt of the victims of the late the
titre conflagration iu Brooklyn, New
York, was intense, tears freezing
on the face as they issued from tht
eyes of mourners.
This is the time when a man re
alizes how much better it is to be
un innocent child sliding down the
banisters than to stand around a
bulletin board aud not know which
side to "holler for."
General Rush, of Wisconsin, is
reported as asserting in Washing
ton, the other d.y, that "the next
House should be Republican by
force, and that it will be the mis
siou of the army to make it so.
The testimony elicited by the
congressional committees is damag
ing to the conspirators. Their vil
lainies are being exposed, and some
of the strongest witnesses are their
own partisans.
The resolution of Senator Ed
munds to convert the U. S. Su
preme Court into a huge returning
board, was overwhelmingly defeat
ed in the Senate having received
only 11 votes.
Louisiana, Florida and South
Carolina are "badly governed prov
inces," as they are termed by the
N. Y. Tribune. They could be
nothing eks under the rule of radi
cal thieves.
The Democrat s iys a true count
of the vote in Louisiana 'gives the
Democrats a majority of twelve on
joint ballot. The Returning Board
gave the Republicans twenty-one
majority.
The Constitution of Tennessee
requires the Legislature to meet on
the tirst Monday in January bfter
election. Next January comes in
ou Monday, the first day of the year.
"There never will ba another
Democratic presideut," said Bob
Ingersoll in a speech delivered at
Ptoria, 111., last week.
Twenty two business houses, of
fices, kc.,involving an aggregate loss
of 8200,000, were burned at Bolivan
Teun., on the 14th.
"Gov. Hayes represented the par
ty thnt carried all but four of the
States that furnished men for the
suppression of the rebellion, and
Gov. Tilden all but three of those
which sought to destroy the Union."
Grant.
Aside from it being indelicate,
not to say outrageous and indecent,
for the President of the whole peo
ple to use his power sit the power
of the nation to covir up fraud, as
sociate with and hoi'O1 thieves and
bolster up and defr r.t. u-urpers and
villians, this utterance, even it it
had come from a prirn republican
citizen, is absoluc i'tmous. The
argument is thi: lic r 'se a majori
ty of the SoutL-:' ' -ies voted for
rilden, Hayes tnu- be counted in.
Now, the SoiuL-,.1 otates are either
Slates or they rvv not Spates. If
they are SL is?-, u ballots of the
people are as sacred and effective
as that of the blackest republican
that ever hugged a negro in his
dreams. If they are not to be al
lowed to have their votes counted
after casting them, where is the use
and sense of continuing the election
farce any longer in the South?
Eleven years have healed the gaping
wounds of war, and. the soothing
fluctuations of time and manifold
events have even obliterated the
Fears of those wounds, and then we
brought all our lingering animosi
ties and nates and cast them into
one huye centennial funeral Due.
and with the torch of liberty, lit
afresh at the shrine where the na
tion assembled to celebrate its
birthday, we touched off that pile
and now the ashes have been scat
tered by the winds, and the flaint
and smoke have disappeared, and
still there can be found a man mean
enough to dig up the patt and re
sort again to the argument of hate.
Now and forever, so far as we are
concerned, we shall contend that
the South is as loyal as any other
section, that she has a right to be
heard pnd that tameness and sub
mission no longer become her. To
be cowhided and spit upon and
browbeat and kicked in the hour
succeeding her defeat was what she
expected, and she was not disap
pointed; but thene indignities have
multiplied beyond measure and en
dured beyond power to endure, and
injury and insult and slander and
dclamation have puked their venom
upon us until every sense of justice
must be satiated. Hencetorth, let
the South speak out and assert her
rights, in the Union forever, and
may the tongue that says she is not
to be trusted wither in the scorch
of its slanderous utterance, and
may the arm that is uplifted to
beat her bck from her position as
a part of the National Union be
palsied and withered to the marrow
Admiral Wulttliorne.
We leirn from the Washipgton
dispatches that the Hon. W. C.
Whitthoine, ot this State, Chairman
of the Naval Investigating Commit
tee, is determined to dig, with re
newed vigor Into the mountain of
corruption which has been piled up
by Robeson s administration of Na
val affairs. "Admiral Whit, as he
is called with meaning, has shown a
capacity and vigor for this impor
taut work, which has won the admi
ration and the confidence of honest
men and patriots everywhere. It is
quite evident that he possesses the
industry, the brains and the nerve
to do all that duty requires, and be
tore he is done with the knaves of
the Naval department the people.
who already for the splendid work
accomplished applaud him withou
sunt, will have abundant additional
reason for admiring and honoring
him.
In this connection it is proper to
state, that Mr. Wlutthorne is devel
oping decided strength in Middle
l'enuessee for the United States
Senate. And it wculJ be no in
lusiice to other distinguished aspi
rants for the same high honor, to
ay that he is the peer of any man
in Icnnessee. He has the expe l
t-nce, the mind the comprehensive
wisdom which comes ot a well or
'anized brain, well trained, to fit
hi in for the Senate. And should
the senatorial mantle fall on h
shoulders, we feel sale in saying
that it will be gracefully and
worthily worn. t e are uy no

and write this in simple justice to
one ot lennessee s most deserving
statesmen. Jackson Sun.
A Oreat Speech.
We ask the desponding and im
patient Democrats of the South to
read the following extract from the
great speech recently delivered by
Horatio Seymour of New York:
I he Democratic party is too
strong to be violent; it will not for
feit the confidence of the people by
any display ot passion; it can asset
itself through the regular channel
of political action. Frauds may-
delay the course of justice, may ex
cite passion hurtful to the progress
of our country, but legal and just
punishment will surely follow. That
party which controls towns, coun
ties and states will control th
country. lhe President against
whom is arrayed the body of the
people, is an object of sympathy
not of fear. This is not a subject
which belongs alone to those who
are actively engaged in political af
fairs It is a great American ques
tion, which concerns every citizen
and every home. They can make a
grand exhibition of the genious of
our government, and of the power o
its citizens by a calm rebuke to
freuzied rulers. Even those who
desperately seek to hide the records
of past misconduct from the knowl
edge of our people will quail before
an aroused public One tmng all
men see: the Republican party can
not decide its own case in its ow
favor against the majority of th
American people upon the certifi
cate of branded men in Louisian
wuuout making iue ooay oi ou
citizens and the world at large feel
that it is a corrupt and partisan de
cision. e cannot have Mexican
politics without Mexican disorders
The business men in all civilizec
countries have been taught by re
tent bankruptcies and disorders i
governments made unstable by ag
tations, to be watchful and disturst
ful when they see the slightest de

out which there can be no financial
bosor.

Tricksol the Louisiana Return
ing Board.
New Orleans Special to the New York World
Further analysis of the Return
ing Board figures developes a tie
gree of rascality which could
scarcely have been suspected. It is
found on examination that every
poll thrown out had defeated some
Republican candidate. Here in ev
ery case ot throwing out a poll tne
effect was to elect some defeated
Republican. Thus, a small poll in
langipahoa, whicn was not con
tested, was excluded because (even
alter robbing Robertson, the Dem
ocratie candidate, of over i,000
votes), it was necessary to throw
out that poll in order to elect his
antagonist. It is discovered like
wise that the returns of the Board
diner enormously in the various
compilations; for instance, in order
to count in the Hayes electors they
threw out polls giving 12,000 Demo
cratic majority, but in order to get
the State benate by 2 majority they
threw out 18,000 Democratic votes
thus counting out for Senators
about 6,000 votes which they had
allowed tor electors. In order to
beat Robertson for Congress they
threw out Democratic votes about
3,000 in excess of the number
thrown out for Electors, and to re
store the aggregate in the Senate
they counted back in Leonard's dis
trlct, which is Republican by 6ever
al thousand on their showing, the
number of Democratic votes which
they had thrown out for electors
equal to the number they had stolen
from Robertson, borne polls have
been counted for Representatives
which were excluded for Senators
Others were thrown out for Congress
which were included on the Electo
ral return. The whole canvass is a
hotch potch of inconsistency and
fraud.

As he draws inspiration from the

nguu
Recently, when the representatives
of the people yrere talking about
ire peaching him, he snapped out the
savage intimation that "they had
better not attempt it." His bloodj
threat of driving the house of rep
resentatives into the Potomac was,
it seems, act sufficiently sanguinar-.
It is now followed by a threat to
"incarcerate that body, or a major
ity of it, in I ortress Monroe. Real
ly, it is getting difficult to find in
history an autocrat of sufficient sav
age and blood t-hirsty propensities
to render him a trne prototype of
our ferocious bulldozer in the White
House. Charles I. was a saint
by comparison. Henry VIII was
a mild-mannered despot. Hay
nau, Philip II, and his charming
CTU throat, tho Xuke of Alva, all
combined, and with the Bobadilian
Bob Ingersoll thrown in,' would
rdly make up in appetite and apt
itude for gore, a parallel to our fu-
ious and frolicsome cutthroat,
Ulysses Grant. A -more rambunc
tious howler for blood the country
has not yet produced.- Chicago Times.
If Hayes should be inaugurated
president in March next, he will
literally have 'waded through
slaughter to a throne." for no in
telligent man can doubt that the
eaders of the Radical party in
Louisiana aud elsewhere caused the
murder of negroes in certain parish
es in that State just before the late
election in ordet to find an excuse
for the Returning Board to throw
out those parishes in canvassing the
vote and thus elect Haves. Every
act of blood or violence attributed
to Democrats was committed by
Radicals at the instigation of the
leaders of the Radical party, and
the time is coming when the God of
truth and justice will make the fact
manifest to the wor:d Cour.Jour.
The head of the Republican party-
declares that he "does not care a
