A WORD TO PRESIDENT GRANT.
We ask the President to take care that
he does notin these last days of his pub.
li<; life fatally stain his own fair fame. If
he acts according to his intemperate and
■onstitutional language he may do tho
country a great injury; but he is s
any case to leave the Presidency an ob
ject of contempt ami disgust to th
men whom he must meet face to face in
Europe. They will inevitably regard
him as an ignorant and reckless partisan
and not as a statesman
fit leafier of a faction in Mexico or Boli
via. but as most unfit to have ruled a great
nation, or to associate
ty with themselves, the statesmen who
rule Efy4>pe. It will requre all his efforts
during jpe remainder of his tenu of of
fice to redeem himself from the ridicule
in
very
patriot: as the
tenas of e«iuali
and aversion with which the most emi
nent Ktatesme.n of England and other
European countries will be filled by an
utterance of which lie ought to know not
one of them, from the highest to the low"
est, is capable, and which, if one of them
used it. would drive him from public life
inirretricvabldicedisgrace. Gen. Gran
is not the "representative" of a party bet
is the President of the whole people; the
Presiilent of the democrats as well as of
the republicans. Let him take great care
to remember this. He cannot afford to
act a partisan part in the events of the
next lew weeks. The verv threat to do
so is a revolutionary, an unconstitutional
and dangerous act in him. Gan lie not
see that when he thus announces hi
•re partisan he invites and
challenges opposition from the other
party; that he sohets suspicion and justly
alarms and repels all fair-minded men?
The most honorable men of both parties
in Congress Are coming together to pre
pare a measure for "examining" the elec
toral vote. Does the President, as the
"representative" of a party, mean to op
pose and to veto any bill they may agree
upon if it shall not happen to favor his
party purposes? The scrutiny of tho votes
in the disputed States goes on. Does the
President mean to support the Louisiana
Returning Board in resisting the demands
of a Congressional committee to see its
work? Docs lie mean to interpose him
the "representative" of a party,
between the country and the discovery
of wrong in those States? Is he so c
pletely the victim of the Camerons,
Chandlers, Mortons, Logans and other
extreme partisans that lie cannot see
men are, with a contempt they scarcely
conceal, using him for their ends? Does
he imagine that they did not perceive
long ago that he was ignorant of civil af
fairs ami therefore a fit tool for them be
cause they can easily deceive him? Gen
eral Grant
sans to travel in Europe
How does he hope to face the
must meet there? How can he es«*ape
their keen and cynical contempt, if. in
these weeks when a great question is to
honorably decided, he does not
petty "representative
here, we ask him, will he
he
b<
rise above the
party? An«l w
he if, when divested ofthe power, influ
ence and respect of the Presidency, once
more a private citizen, he shall fig
only as the "representative" of a party?
Caii he not set; tho painful, the ludicrous
the humiliating future lie i»< preparing
of
s«»lf?

A REPORT FROM A
MAN.
A special mooting ofthe Massachusetts
democratic committee was held in Boston
on Saturday to hear the Hon. L. II. Sal
tontall's report of his visit to Florida.
After a brief introduction lie said his
heart was tilled with sadness at the state
oi affairs in Florida, and he had to live
there three weeks to know the infamy
which is attached to such a government.
He characterized Gov. Stearns as man
totally unfit for the position, and stigma
tized his government as the most despotic
and oppressive on the American conti
nent. He criticised the doings ofthe re
turning board, by which a democratic
majority had been changed to a majority
for tlia republicans. He denounced the
affidavits upon which whole counties had
been thrown out as entirely untrustwor
thy , and declared that there was no in
timidation except such as was exercised
by black republicans against those negroes
who wished to vote the democratic ticket.
He said tlie presence of soldiers in Tal
lahassee after the election was a perfect
farce, and before the election they were
1 used by carpct-b:ig demagogues to fright
en the negroe into voting the republican
ticket.
There is not a singlewliite man in Flori
da, lie said,who is a republican unless he
is connected with the Stearns government.
The poor negroes are worse slaves than
under the old slave spstem, for they
are the slaves of Steams and his as
sociates, and they dare not do contrary to
theirwlslies. Taxationen theState islarger
than its entire production. Before the
justice, although Chief
Justice Randall and two of his associates
in tlie Supreme Court he regarded as men
of strict integrity. He then gave a de
scription of the manner in which the al
leged fraud in counting the vote was car
ried on. In responce to questions Col.
Saltontall said there was
United States troops in the 8tate on elec-*
tiou day. The only intimidation practic
ed was by black republicans against black
democrats, but, as it was, a large number
voted for Drew. In closing, he counsell
edpatience; but not slavish submission to

A MANIA' LETTER FROM GENERAL II Alt
V VIRTUALLY GIVES TIIE STATE TO
TiLIiEN.
L(
The following letter from General
Francis C. Barlow to a friend has been
handed to us for publication:
New Yore, Dee. 15th, 1876.
My Dear
I certainly thought 1 had made my own
opinion clear as to the points of contest of
which I professed to have know ledge.
A little calculation would have show n
what it was. ( >n the face of the returns
the vote was: Hayes, 24,327; Tilden, 24,
287. Certain additions and deductions
were agreed on unanimously by the board
which we may asume to be corrcct.These
conced d changes left it: llayes, 24,28b;
Tilden, 24,438. Then I should have
thrown out 210 Republican votes in Ar
cher Precinct No. 2, and also Friendship
Church Precinct, in Jackson County, as
a majority of the board did. They also
rejected Campbellton Church Precinct in
this county, as to which I do not know
the facts, but will assmethat it was right
ly rejected, as it does not alter the result
to w hich 1 should have come.
The two last precincts disposed of 121
Republican aud 43(1 Democratic votes,
and, deducting these and the 210 in Ar
cher, you get the following result:
Tilden,
Hayes.
24,002
23,947
Tilden's majority, 55
1 should have come to this result after
massing upon all the cases before the
loard except Hamilton County. Js is
this county which causes all the doubt I
have about it.
The official minutes dt the board, as
published in the New York papers of
December 13, state that in some precincts
of this county (names not given) 83 Deni
ocratic and 58 Republican votes were
thrown out. 1 do not know the ground,
but, allowing it, you still have a Demo
cratic majority of 30.
Then conies Jasper Precinct No. 2,
where the vote was: Democratic, 323;
Republican, 185, as returned. About
this care 1 know only what appears in the
minutes of the board and in CowgilFs
letter ami Cocke's protest attached to my
report. The irregularities complained of
(abandoning the canvass when half fin
ished, and turning it over to two lawyers,
who completed it the next day) would
justify the throwing out of the whole re
turns; but what 1 am in doubt about is
whether the inspectors were Republicans
or Democrats. Cocke says, in his pro
test. that they were the former, and Cow
gill and the minutes say nothing about it.
1 have hoard, and Cocke also says that
they made affidavits in aid of tlie Repub
lican contest, and if so, 1 presume they
were Republicans. In that case it should
be presumed that in the return as made
they looked after the interests of their
own party, and, at any rate, I <lo not
think that a Democratic majority should
be thrown out because of Republican
wrong-doing, if such were the ease. If
this precinct be rejected it would give a
Republican majority in the 8 täte, <;ther
WÎso not. In the latter case tin* Tilden
majority would be so small that perhaps
some of the Republican contests which
the board did not stop to consular (prob
ably because the majorityjhad been reach
ed on other grounds) would have changed
the result, if passed upon.
But there is no use in speculating
about this, as the case must be considered
as it was made up by the board. Leav
ing out the Jasper Precinct we therefore
see that, in my opinion, there was a Til
den majority, even considering that Camp
be 11 ton and the first named precinct in
Hamilton county should he thrown out,
which I do not say was rightly done. I
certainly never had any doubt as to what
my own opinion was. except as to this
precinct, upon which it happened that 1
did not know fully what the evidence
was; but as 1 do not have the assurance
to put my own opinions above those of
the board upon «juestions as to which
there was conflicting evidence, I was not
willing to give my own views without at
the same time giving this evidence: and
lienee my report was "so long.''
I am not unwilling to express my opin
ions, nor do J object to having any one to
whom they are of any consequence know
Yours truly,
Francis C. Barlow .

llad Sews for the Republic
The republicans have had an uncom
fortable day. On Saturday aud Sunday
there was private'information in town,
and in the possession of republicans that
matters did not promise so well in Louis
iana. Th«* conduct of tho Returning
Board in refusing to exhibit its records to
the Congressional committee ex«;it<*«l
suspicions that all was not right, and that
the State was not rightfully given to Mr.
Hayes, and these suspicions were increa
sed by private news, carefully kept secret,
but which l«*«l to conclusions which
here and there spoken out. To-day came
the letter of General Barlow, virtually
conceding Florida to Mr. Tilden. This
letter produced a decidedly blue sensa
tion among the republican Senators. It
was carefully read, and Senator Jones,of
Florida, was asked what he knew of the
precinct, Jasper No. 2, of which General
Barlow says that if the inspectors wer«
republicans the vote ought to lie counted,
and would give the State to Tilden. Mr.
Jones says the inspectors, who left the
vote half counted, were republicans, ami
that this fact, as well as their abandon
ment of their duties,will be easily prove«l
before the investigating committee, so
that, if tlie vote of the State depends on
that, it will have to be given to Tilden.
There are also reports in town that th«»
South Carolina committee have discover
e«l irregularities there in the conduct of
the Returning Board, which may show
that the State was really carried*by Til
den.
All these
atters make* a strong im
pression here; upon fair-minded republi
cans, who though they want and linear,
to put Governor Hayes into the *Whit<;
House if he was honestly elected, do not
for an instant think of acting unfairly,
an«l these are getting into a state of min«t
where they feel a strong and reasonable
doubt of Mr. Hayes' election, which will
have to b»» removed before they will con
sent to act with the extremists. "Cover
nor Hayes' election is certainly not as
sure as it was,'* admitted one of his most
earnest supporters this evening; and
another remark«*d:—"The Congressional
committees may. after all, settle this
question, so that it will never com«* be
fore the House."

taken up, and after debate the Senate
fused to pass the bill over tho veto—yeas
25, nays 19, not the required two-thirds
voting in the affirmative. Mr. Wright, of
Iowa, introduced a bill to establish a
court for the trial of contested elections
in the offices of President and Vice-Presi
dent. Tho resolution in regard to the
appointment of presidential electors in
Oregon was further debated. In tho
House Mr. Knott, chairman of the judic
iary committee, introduced a bill regulat
ing thejproccedingsin the electoral count
for President and Vice-President; the bill
was referred to the select committee on
that subject. A resolution of inquiry in
to the action of Judge Bond in South
Carolina failed for want of the necessary
two-thirds majority. A resolution in
structing the judiciary committee to re
port an amendment to the constitution
forbidding the payment of war claims to
disloyal persons was adopted by a vote of

has had time to cool, has come to realiz«*
that a speedy and peaceful settlement is
necessary, not only for the national hon
and the stability of self-government,
but for business prosperity. The wheel»
of commerce are blocked'. Investments
almost ceased. Men who have debt*

crisis, in which thousands of firms must,
go down, and instinctively defer to the

Financial journals urge that the business
community, weakened by the prolonged
