LATEST.
The lateet is that Hayes has or is about
to retire in disgust from the Cell and
leave it to Tiiden We don't belieTe it.
lie is a mere figure-head and is moved
at the will of ethers. The Republicans
could retire more gracefully by allowing
ne of those States to be cast for Tiiden.
CRISIS IN 60CTH CAROLINA.
The State House at Columbia in the
Lands of Federal troops. Legislature
convenes. Chamberlain's black minions
forced in at the bayonet's point and tho
Democrats excluded. Two legislatures
Eieet with but a single quorum. The
followers of Hampton are calm and de
termined. Intense excitement. The
Democrats protest and make an appeal
to the country against this military usur
pation and revolutionary interference.
Vc are near the end.
AN ELECTION LIE-
Why did not Gov. Kellogg pravest
the. fraud and intimidation of which h9
makes ao much complaint in Louisiana?
lie is at the bead of the State Govern
ment. All its subordinates are of his
appointment All the machinery of the
election is completely andar bis control.
The Federal troops can be had at any
rune for the asuing. Prof. Sumner, of
Yale, in bis recent letter, says that "the
election was held under a couplioated j
and elaborate corps of oiEijprs, appointed
by the State Government, and free from
any of those popular checks, which we
in the in the North regarded as essen
tial to self-Government. " Further on he
says ho sees "no guarantee a.inst
fraud, except in the vigilance and in
terest of the opposing parties." "Sach
guarantees exist in Louisiana, with the
vast preponderance oT the chances in
favor of tho party in power, which ap
points all the officers of election, has the
Federal officers on its side"
and controls the Federal troops. "Tho
election law is is intricate, and while
apparently adapted to provide for all
contingincics, really creates a hundred
technicalit.es and machinery whioh ren
der popular electiens in possible. The in
genuity with which devices are planned
and practiced for producing fraudulent
results is eimply diabolical. The party
in power, having control of this machine
ry, oan make any election a mockery,
and tho community itself locked in a net
work of crafty arrangements, from
which escape seems impossible. Against
this prodigious tyranny the people of
Louisiana have mrdo one more united
and determined effort."
Remember that these are not the
words of a stump speaker. They are
the deliberate expressions of a scholar,
a professor in one of tho first ef Ameri
can college?, a man with only a patri
otic interest in politics, an J a man, too,
accustomed to study an i weigh his words.
Remember this, then try to believe that
Gov. Kellogg, with all this tremendous
power, could not have prevented the
frauds aud violence and intimidation
that he pretends characterized tat elec
tion in the "bull-dozed'' parishes! Yes,
and prevented them by raising his littlo
finctr I
Tho truth is that they did not exist,
not even in Gov Kelloya's imagination.
It was not till alter election that we
beard anything of them. Tho whole
story is an election lie, born of defeat
and framed to secure fraud.
, WHY DID EE CALL TOR TR00FS?
Why didn't Gov. Kellogg call for
troops if the condition of things in the
five "bulldozed'' parishes was as he de
acribes ? It must be a terriCc reign of
terror that keeps every Republican voter
away from, the polls. Usually, while
many fire cowed by threats, many also
are aDgered by them, and the result is
resistance. No sneb condition of things
existed in South Carolina, but Governor
Chamberlain got Lis troops without
difficulty.
The suspicion will inevitably arise
that it was not Democratic violence, but
Republican trickery, that kept Republi
can voters from the polls, Kellogg has
t-ofore kept bis voters away, so as to be
tibia afterward to allege intimidation,
tud the facts arc on record ia tho Con-
gressinnal investigations. lie did it
again this time apparently, but he over
did it. It must bare been a terrific dose
of "intimidation" that kept every oae of
thousands of-Republican voters away
from the polls, and it was Gov. Kellogg's
duty ns Governor to protect them Come,
come Governor, why dido't we have any
thing of this before election ? Why
didn't you call for troops? You've often
done it before.
ADHERE TO THE VOTES.
There is one conspicuous fact in the
present po'it;cal situation that is making
a profound impression on the public
mind, and is silently but surely clearing
itway the mist before the eyes cf the peo
ple. It is simply this that in Louisi
ana it is admitted that Gov. Tiiden
has a clear majority cf all the votes cast
of from 7,500 to 9.000 votes. Now the
American people have a respect that
reaches to reverence for the verdict of
the ballot. Once made, it is always ac
quiesced in. To be sure, each party
recognizes the fact that there are few
elections that are not tainted by fraud on
both tides, but they also sea that these
frauds usually balance themselves; that
they are not large enough to altar the
result, and that thay are usually com
mitted by men who are candidates for
minor cGces, and are seldom counte
nanced by tho men who are at the head
of either organization. Sj it is in Lou
isiana. It may be that soaae Democra's
may have committed frauds or been
guilty of intimidation, though there ia
no proof ol it, but must be evident that
this could not possibly have given Tiiden
this immense majority; for it is an im
mense majority on so small a vote. But,
when a Returning Board assumes to
throw cut part of one parish and t&ka
the rest, it is evident that the whole
principle af elaotions is destroyed.
There might as well be no election at
alL The census reports would furnish
the relative proportions of the white and
black populations, aai no ballots what
ever need be cast. The elections ia
Louisiana have actua'ly been decided in
just this way. Imagine this principle
applied to every t?tta in the Union.
It would result in anarchy and civil
war. There is not a Northern Stats
whose vote might not be reversed in
just this way. Oace cut loose from the
sheet-anchor of the votes actually cast,
and there is no knowing where you may
drift. The r roper way to preserve the
purity of the ballot is to preveat fraudu
lent ballots from being cast. Then
there need be no question as to the result
But to undertake to revise the popular
verdict, is simply to pit an end at one
blow to popular government Why did
not Gov. Kellogg prevent the frauds
and intimidation which he allegta to
have taken place in Indiana.

Did IJutler aid this inscription as mili

AmoDg the many insults which Gen
Dutler heaped upon this community
when he held military commend here,
the causing of this inscription to be cut
upon the base of the et.itm which the

There will be much talk but no fight.
The people can't a fiord to have another
civil struggle. If that should come, the

THE SOUTH CAROLINA INFAMY
Opinions of th N. Y. Press-
STOP THIKF.
Se Yobk Herald.
South Carolina furnisbes tha "donhfc-
fuStat9"' sensation for to-day. The Su
pre;aa Court cf the State yesterday is
sued an order to the State Board of
Canvassers commanding theta to eertify
to the election uf the laislature as a; -pnared
from the fice ot the returns,
leaving the judicial functions pertaining
to the status of the individuals appear
in so chosen to the legislative body.
Tha order alo called on the Board to
show cause why thy shon'd not revise
the aggregation of vote for Presidential
electors which were founded on the
reports of the county canvassers by
comparing thetn with the precinct re
turns aUo in their possession This was
calculated to give the Democrats hopes
i f reachinj a result f.ivorbli t thair
calculations. By a sudden stroke, how
ever, th Canvansini Board cut their way
out of the lanal net by issuing certificates
to the Haves electors arid to the Rpub
lioan members ofttm Legislature, thro .?
iug out the Vote of Edgefield und Lnurens
counties on th ground of fraud and in
timidation T'i Board then aojourned
without delay, pleading tb.it by t!ie law
they must decide within a certain period,
which has nuW expired. This is very
harp practice. If the Supreme Court
cannot support us authority, which the
Board have defied, tha vote of the State
mus b counted for llavns. This throw
ing out of two Democratic counties gives
the State and the Legislature, which
carries a United States Senatorship with
it, to the Kei ublicans The aud icitv of
this act betrays great desperation. If
undone in the course of justice it will
etani as a monumental infamy. Even if
the Court fails to reach the Board, the
ebjctoral vote of the State will be little
better than stolen goods, which will
tain the receiver as well the sharp prac
titioners who purloined it. Can the
Republican party afford to take its first
instalment from the doubtful estates
with the highest judicial tribunal of
South Carolina crying. "Stop thief 1"
after its nimble carriers ?
THE TAINT OF FRAUD,

The South Cakolixa Maneuver.
Putting the suiien movement of the
South Carolina Board of C.invasseis in
the best light, it is manifest and literally
a dodge, and, beini; so, it is exucly the
sort of thing which the great majority of
men of all parties will concur in repro
bating. Gen. Hampton, in his digiiSel
and temperate address to the people, ex
presses confidence that the trick cannot
serve the purposes of those who have
exjeuted it. Certainly sucn a proceed
ing ousiht not to hav even a temporary
aad prima facie validity.

The Board of State Canvassers of

THE REPUBLICAN CONSPIRACY
A Plot to Declare Hayes Elected
Despite the House.
A Hold Scheme Concocted by Des
perate Men.
CorjRxin Up the Possibilities cf an
Armed Collision.
Washington, Nov. 25 The Republi
can leaders here are not r-ticent as "to j
their plan of operations The Return- j
ing Boards in South CroTina and Louisi- '
ana they sav, will certify the' election of '
the Republican electoral tickets in those j
two States, and Governors Camberhim
and Kellogg will issue, in cnu'forcriity
with this, thi certificate of election to
the electors. The electors of these Sta .'es
will in do form and in accordance with
law, perform their functions and transmit
their certificates to the President of the
Senate, and their votes will be oountel
for Kutherford B. Hayes. This is the
pliQ
I ITS NAKED OUTLINBS.
As to the details, they are to depend
upon the exigencies in each cas--. Fo
instance, to Sou h Carolina, Chamber
Iain, though tho Supreme Court should
attempt to interfere, will issue his c rti
ficates of election to the Republican
electors, and they will met, record their
votes for Haves and Wheeler, an! trans-,
mit their certification of the fact to
TUB PRSS1DEST OF T3B SEHATES.
In Florida, Governor Stearns will do
the same, and the electoral vote of that
State will in the same manner be trans
mitted to the President of the Senate.
Tha Louisiana case is a little difficult,
but the Returning Board there is equal
to the emergency. It will perform its
labors in the presence of the Republican
and Democratic committees Whatever
they do will b csrtified to es legally per
formed by the Republican commitiee,
and the electoral vote of that State will
be given to Hayes and Wheeler, and the
fact csrtified to the President of tha
Senate.
At the appointed time the two DTouses
of Congress will meet in joint session,
and the certificates will be opened by
the President of the Senate, and 185
votes counted for Hayes and 184 for
Tiiden. If there is any objection made
by a Democratic rf-.inaror or Representa
tive, the President of the Senate will
KECLIMB TJ ENTERTAIN IT.
If the objecting member persists be will
be called to order, and. if ho doss not
obey he will be taken in hand by the
Sergeaut-at-Ai ms of the Senate. In the
event of disorder the offenders will be
removed from the Hall by the officers of
the Seriate, but in the ev"ent of any dis
turbance whioh the officers of the Senate
cannot quell, then the military will in
terlere to preserve proper decorum. If
the Democratic majority retire, the Re
publican minority will remain, and it
will be hell thet the House of Kaprcsen
tatives was constitutionally present. Mr
Hayes will be declared elected, and upon
the 4th of March
HE WILL BB INAUGURATED.
The forms f laiv h iving ben observed
by th3 RetiirNln B )fds of South Caro
lina and Lou, simi i, by the Governor of
Fio-ida and c';:j electors of those States,
tho action of tha Republican majority of
the Senate, nnd the Republican minority
of the House in declaring Hayes elee'ed
President will, it is espjctel, be acqui
esced in by the people of the United
States. The business interests of the
country will not suffer turmoil to ensue,
and after a season of talk and threaten
ing the great bodv of the peopln will
settle down to every day affairs and say
we can
BTAND IT FOR FOUR TEARS.
This is what the Republican leaders
hern profess to believe.
If, however, there should bo any dis
turbance, auy attempt to resist the de
cision of tho Republican majority cf the
Senate and the Republican minority of
the House r.f Kepresentati ves, then the
whole power of the Government will be
exerted
TO CRUSH IT OUT.
This, they say, will be quite easy. They
do not apprehend any united action on
the part of the Governors of N'ew York,
New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana
On the other hand, thu Governors of all
the Republican States, they allege, will
tender prompt assistance to the general
Government. Precaution will be taken
to hav the militia rf those tales in
readiness ta ha used instantly. In a
word, the Republican leaders say tkey
will have not only the army and navy
of the general government, but their
fiiends throughout the North will be
ready to reapun i. If there is any move
aaent by tha Southern St&tes, this will be
denounced as a revival of the rebellion,
and the loyal North will be appealed to
to put it down.
OARRISONINa THE CAPITAL,
Wa3hicgt'..a ?pcia! to the Ne-7 York Iierald
The Administration! has decided to re
inforce the troops now here at once. The
statement, as plausibly made oa Mon
day, that no more would be ordered here
after the complement of eight cumpani s
! o1 artillery was tiled, proves to be as
; untre as the annonn .ecient of Saturday
, last fr ra official quarters that no mi itary
force was to b quartered in VV asiiinton
To-day four additional companies of in
fantry and artiilery, now on duty in
General Pope's department, were ordered
to 1 aave for Washington to-morrow.
This will inf-ease tne preset. t earrimon

j anees have been received here from both

ordered here on any such pretext it is
A GROUNDLESS ONB.
It is difficult to find any official here who
knows of any such conspiracy. In ordr
to prevent, however, any demonstrate n
of any kind that might be uialicio sly

drawn from their part of what was

OHIO DEMOCRATS.
Consurat'on of Leadicg Hembers of
tie Party on the Political Situa
tion. 3 Telegraph to tho Kew York Herald.
Columbus, Nov. 22. 1876.
A number of the lading Democrats
met here to-day with tlie Democratic
State Committee, lor consultation rela
tive to the political situation. After the
meeting was organized, Thomas Evin,
George W. Morgan, George U Pendle
ton, Durban Ward, Acquilla Wriley, R.
J. Warner and E. A Uouk, were ap
pointed a committee on resolutions.
Gen 'ral Ewing, as chairman, read the
following resolution . which were loudly
applauded and unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That, patriotism demands of
every good citizen a spirit of ready ac
quiescence in the result of the Presiden
tial .lection as fairly ascertained, and wr
deprecate all partisan feeling in the dis
cussions of 'act and law on which tha'
result" dep'-nds.
Resolved, That it is due to tho people
and it is indisper.sibl s o the preserva
tion of free government, that the Presi
dent shall not be chosen by fraud or
force. Wre anneal to the officers charged
with canvasfing the vote and making the
returns to al'ay public apprehension and
suspicion by open and impartial action,
thus commanding the eordial acquies
cer.se the American people; but ad
monished by th"i past action of the pres
ent Returning Board of Louisiana that
such returns may be falne and fraudu
lently male, we demand of the Senate and
Hou-e of Representatives to exert, if
necessary, the constitutional powers
vested in them jointly or severally, to the
end that whoever has been fairiy chosen
by the people shall be declared and in
ft'id ated President of tha United
t't-tep.
Resolved, That we regard the concen
tration of regular troop3 at Washington
by the President on the eve of the
assembling of Congress, as an act calcu
lated to throw discredit upon the disposi
tion of the people to obey the law aed
submit to the result of the Preside ntial
election as legally ascertained, and to ex
cite unnecessary alarm as to the stability
of the Republib, thereby imperiling
poaoe at home and the public credit
abroad.
Resolvod. That we recommend to the
Democratic State Central Committee of
t e State to correspond and confer with
She other Di-mocrutia titate Comaiit:o!8
of the country, wi' i a view to a full
understanding of the facts and perfect
concert of a-tion in maintaining the
rights of the people in the lite Presiden
tial election, as determined by proper
legal authorities.
