SO SUR R ESDEII.
Ever constant, ever true
Let the Word be, No surrender!
Boldly dare and greatly dr!
Tliis shall bring us bravely through—
No surrender, no surrender!
And though Fortunes smiles tie few,
Hope is always springing new,
Still inspiring me suid you
With a magic, No surrender!
Nail the colors to the mast,
* Shouting gladly, No surrender!
Troubles near are all but past*-
Verve them as you did tlie last—.
No surrender, no surrender! *
Though the skies be overcast,
And upon tlie sleety blast
Disappointments gather last—
Beat them off with—No surrender!
Constant and courageous still,
Mind tin* word Is,No surrender!
Battle, though it he up hill,
Stagger not at seeming ill.
No surrender, no surrender!
Hope, iind thus your hope fulfil—
There's away where there's a will. }
And the way all cares to kill
Js to give them—No surrender!
Wliatdo they Propose to Do ?
Democratic swearing we can un
(.lerstand. Playing tricks with the
American ilag, declaring unrelenting
war (in the abstract) upon the new
Administration, vows never to vote
again, peppery pronunciamentos like
that of tlie Democratic Committee,
the bestowal of ingenious nicknames
upon the President—these evidences
of bad temper and bitter disappoint
ment we look upon as quite natural
and as tokens of human infirmity.
But mere passion or petulance can
not last forever, and would affect
nothing if it could. Thus far noth
ing of an alarming character has
happened, except that Mr* Abram
S. Hewitt has refused any longer to
be Chairman of the Democratic Na
tional Committee. Barnum, Sena
tor of Connecticut, takes his place
for the rest of the year—a warm
man, and one who will generously
take up the business of expenditure
where Mr. Ilewitt, more or less out
of pocket, leaves it. But what will
Barnum do? What will his trusty
cohort of committeemen, all in a
more or less depressed condition, do?
That is what we want to know.
A fair consideration shows us that
so far as the present Presidential
term is concerned we have settled
the matter. Bluster, threats,groans,
scolding—nothing of the kind will
alter that. Now we mean to be kin
der to Mr. I). D.Field and to all who
talk nonsense as he does than they
are to themselves. Tt is nonsense ;
the country knows it to be such; and
all the blustering crowd of unstates
manlike men, who have brought
such discredit upon the Democratic
party, know it. But we cheerfully
admit that they mean nothing by
their tantrums. And if they did, a
more thoroughly powerless political
clique never existed. The sober and
sensible men of their own party are
ashamed of them. Mr. Hewitt who
at least wants to be considered sober
and sensible, leaves them in the
lurch, or under the leadership of
Barnum, which amounts to the same
thing. Gov. Seymour takes the de
feat of Gov. Tilden so calmly that
the malignant might say he was
glad of it. He speaks well of Presi
dent Hayes, does not appear to an
ticipate any political earthquakes or
hurricanes, and in the presence of
the most merciless interviewer de
means himself as a good citizen,
willing to wait at least until his ad
versary has done some blame-worthy
thing before he blames.
After due and solemn considera
tion we conclude that all the Demo
crats mean by their military meta
phors and red hot rhetoric is that
they will vote down the Administra
tion if they can. Against this de
termination we have not a word to
say. Go to the people, gentlemen,
if you please! Make up your issues!
Denounce, appeal, argue, exhort!
Hold conventions—National, State,
district, county and town conven
tions! Appoint committees—Na
tional, State, district, county and
town committees! Write millions
of miles of appeals to the voters!
Make hundreds of thousands of
speeches! Squib, ridicule, and criti
cise—do but tell lies—that
we cannot by any manner of means
recommend. Try conclusions at the
ballot box; we are quite willing.
And if you believe what you say,
you ought to be willing also. It is
our opinion that a large majority of
the voters approve the course of
procedure which has just ended in
Washington. If it was what you
say it was—fraud and falsehood—
what a grand opportunity you have
of carrying every. State in the -Un
ion ! Drop the sword! Talk no
moreof violence aud anarchy, which |
can come only at your call! Try
voting! But do not say what you
do not think—that the country is 1
ruined! Because the country knows i
a thing or two yeti— N. Y. Tribune, j
Who will Recognize Mr. Hayes.
In the midst of a great deal of talk
about Mr. Tilden being the choice of
the people, and predictions that the
country will not recognize Mr.
Haygs, tlie New York Herald takes
the trouble to calmly analyze the
situation. The conclusions deduced
are well worth reading. A careful
perusal of them will, tend to allay
excitement and show that after ail
country will not be so badly dis
appointed in its hopes:
/(Most of the great sections of the
c'f.ilitry will be quite satisfied with
g result of the Presidential elec
tion. In tin; New England States
the electoral vote, whose honesty is
not questioned, stands as follows:
Hayes—Maine 7, Massachusetts 13, j
New Hampshire o, Rhode Island 4,
Vermont 5; total 34. Tilden—Con
necticut G.
“Hayes being tlie overwhelming
choice of the New England States
they will give his administration a
warm support. Going from the ex
treme East to the extreme West the
electoral vote in the Pacific states
stands thus: Hayes—California 0,
Colorado 3, Nevada 3, Oregon 3 ; to
tal 15. Tilden—none.
“Mr. Hayes will accordingly begin
li is term as President with the con
fidence and favoring good wishes of
the Pacific States, which gave him
all theft- electoral votes. Coming
back to tlie great commonwealths
which are classed as the Western
States, we find this to be the state of
their electoral vote : Hayes—llli
nois 21, lowa 11, Kansas 5, Michigan
11, Minnesota 5, Nebraska 3, Ohio
22, Wisconsin 10; total, 88. Tilden
—lndiana 15.
“It is obvious, therefore, that Mr. j
Hayes will lie acceptable to the West |
and that an attempt to weaken his
influence would not be supported by
that great section. The South sets
its face against filibustering or fac
tious opposition, and counsels its
Democratic brethren to give Presi
dent Hayes a fair trial. That he will
b" pretty generally accepted in the
North is evident from tlie fact that
of tlie 231 electoral votes of all tlie
Northern States, Mr.-llayes received
16G and Mr. Tilden only 65. Mr.
Hayes is the choice of eighteen
Northern States and Mr. Tilden of
only four. If the Democrats will
cast their eyes abroad over the whole
country they will look in vain for
any section of our great country that
will refuse to recognize Mr. Hayes as
the lawful President of the United
States.”
Nasbv’s grief when he learned that
Hayes had been inaugurated could
only find expression in the following
“Sam uv Agony “In the dust uv
hoomiliashen are we. Ashes we
throw upon our heds by tlie scut
tleful. Hair cloth we wear next to

ef it lied to hev one. Why it didn’t

wuzn’t a Dimecratic High Jint.

uv tlie idiocy uv these men, wich we
trustid, and into whose hands we J
gave ourselves, I lift up my voice
and howl with King Lemyooel’s j
mother,‘Give not your strength to
old wimrrien,’ Young ones take
away strength, but it returneth ; old
ones destroy by their counsel, and it
is irretreevable. Ef they’d hed ez
much sense ez they hed money, we’d
never bin made Nebuckhednezzers
uv, and bin turned out to grass in
this way.”
The patriot who wears an excep
tionally haggard look can be sufely
set down as one who is haunted by
the fear that Mr. Hayes will a good
President.
Terrible Panic in a Church.
New York, March B.—A panic in
the church of St. Francis Xavier, in
Sixteuth street, near Sixth avenue, to j
night caused a rush of women from j
one of the galleries, and in tlie tu- j
mult which ensued six women and
one boy Were trampled under foot
and killed. The audience was'eom
posed entirely of women and children
it being “women’s week” in Lent.
The number of persons injured could
not be ascertained. The bodies of
the unfortunates were taken to the
Twenty-fifth Precinct Station House
where they remained awaiting iden
tification.
The church was terribly crowded,
principally by women and children.
The galleries also were crowded to
overflowing. Father Longcake was
preaching the sermon and bad been
speaking about ten minutes when a
women went into an hysterical fit in j
the gallery on the side of the church i
toward Sixth avenue. This created !
quite a stir, and the commotion in
creased in the endeavors of thq crowd
to find out what was the matter. At
thisjuncture a cry of fire was heard
and a rush was made for the exit
from the gallery. The doorway was
blocked for a moment by a very
large woman and this check caused
tlie panic to increase tenfold. The
crowd hurled tlie woman down tlie
steps, and in the rush that followed
seven persons were crushed to deatli
and many others were injured and
had their clothing torn. The injured
were takeiShome before their names
could be learned. The bodies of the
dead were identified as follows:
Mary Casey, of No. 229 West Eigh
teenth street; Alin Spencer and Mich
ael Spencer, of No. 89 Ninth avenue;
Mary Goughian No. 202 West Twenty
fifth street; Eliza Masterson of No
408 Seventh avenue, and Ann I’’ orbes
of No. 10 West Nineteenth street, j
making a total number of six killed. !
The people in the body of the church j
were quieted and dismissed in an or- j
derly manner after a benediction.
A delegation of colored Soutli
Carolinians waited upon President
Hayes Friday. The President spoke
with perfect frankness, saying that
he desired to remove the antagonism
existing between the races, especially
the political differences resting upon
tlie color line, so that the colored
men and Republicans might not need
the protection of the army. He j
said that the use of military force in
civil affairs was repugnant to tlie
genius of American institutions, and
should be dispelled with if possible. |
He, however, recognized the neces- j
sity of protection at present, until j
that feeling of respect for Hie rights
of political opponents should be en
tertained by tlie Democrats of the
South. The President stated that
with regard to the peculiar difficul
ties existing in Soutli Carolina, con
cerning which tlie delegation ex
pressed great anxiety, lie proposed
to preserved the status quo, and to
examine ihe condition of affairs care
fully and deliberately before he ac
ted.
Advices up to February 27, state
that the weather all over California
has been unusually flue for February
except for agriculturists. The un
clouded sun dries and cracks and
packs the soil. The roots cannot
spread to keep pace with the enforced
growth of wheat under stimulus of i
prolonged warmth and electric ac- i
tivity. Unlike Eastern farms, Cali-1
forma cannot make up for deficient
winter grains by multiplying sum-1
mer crops. Here without irrigation
nothing can be grown in the seven !
rainless months of summer except i
on moist bottoms. To a stranger |
the country never looked more beau-,
tiful. The rainfall, though light, lias |
been well distributed. But the pen
etration is too trifling to mature the
growing grain.
When we have a fraudulent Presi
dent, will not every man who takes
office under him be a sharer of the
fraud ?
The above was started by tlie Bal
timore Gazette , and has been copied
by about every democratic sheet in
this State. Change the phraseology
slightly by substituting “Governor”
for President, and then let the Ga- 1
zette answer the question. Governor ]
Carroll is Governor of Maryland to-,
day through frauds put tlie
bulldozers of Louisiana to blush, —
yet a great many democrats in Mary
land accept offices under him and it |
don’t seem to trouble their conscience
very much. We conclude they
would have done the same if tlie
bulldozers had succeeded'in “count- J
ing in” Slippery Sam.
NUMBER 3.
POLITICAL SELECTIONS.
The following extract from Frank
Leslie* 111 titrated Sempaper, a lead
ing Democratic journal, ‘should be
generally circulated through the
press of the country :
As for President Hayes himself, it
is fortunate that lie is not a great
man with an imperious will, but an
unquestionably good man, who has
seen enough of public, and learned
enough in the various offices he has
filled, to save him from falling into
any serious mistakes, or from becom
ing tlie dupe of designing knaves.
With his inauguration a change for
the better has taken place in com
mercial affairs, and the hopes of the
country have begun to revive. lie
might have said in his inaugural
spec 1 1 what Sam Hon ton said to
his soldiers after the decisive battle
ot San Jacinto, “Now go home and
plant corn.” Now everybody may
at'end to his private affairs ; tlie far
mer may plant corn or sow what;
the manufacturer may make cloth,
and the merchant may prepare fora
large accession of customers. There
will be no more President making
for three years, and in the interim,
tlie people may give all their time
and energy to the prosecution of
their private business.
“lie best serves his party who
serves his country best.” So said
President Hayes in his inaugural
address. What a striking illustra
tion ol tliis truth was the late demo
cratic House of Representatives! In
their mail devotion to party, the
democrats f rgot country and tram
pled upon its constitution and its
laws. To promote partisan purposes
they neglected duty, forgot patriot
ism and carried the eouutry to the
borders of revolution and anarchy.
They left legislation unfinished and
the business of the country to .suffer
in consequence. The result will be
the great detriment of their own po
litical aspirations, if not tlie death
of the party. They had the oppor
tunity to save the democratic organ
ization from utter infamy, but in
their blind fury they forgot that of
which President Hayes now reminds
them, that “He best serves his party
who serves his country best.”
The Philadelphia Times (Indepen
dent Democrat) remarks : “To read
! the current issues of many of the
Democratic organs one would hardly
believe that the Tilden whom they
now denounce is the Tilden under
whose banner tliev inarched to vic
tory a few months ago, and whom
they lauded to the skies as the great
reformer and ideal statesman of the
age. Yet he is the same. Had Mr.
Tilden been inaugurated as well as
elected, Cox and Knott, and Black
burn and Springer, and all the oth
ers, curs with Democratic collars on
their necks, who now bark at his
heels, would have been found sup
pliant and whining at his feet, thank
ful for any bone of patronage that
might be bestowed upon them.”
If Mr.Tilden had been chosen Pres
ident his Southern policy, in tlie
opinion of tlie Louisville Courier-
Journal, would have been checked or
impeded by the cry which the Re
publicans would have raised that he
was favoring the ex-Confederates;
but the same policy on the part of
Hayes will command the confidence
and support of both parties . “In a
word, 11 says that whilom fiery but
now philosophical newspaper, “the
recognition of the real governments
of South Carolina and Louisiana by
Mr. Hayes will do more to take the
Southern question out of politics than
tlie same result accomplished by any
other means.”
The Memphis Appeal berates Air.
Key for accepting a Cabinet office, but
it does not represent the sentiment of
a majority of the Tennessee Demo
crats. He received a rain of letters
and telegrams from leading men of
his own party in the State urging
him to go into the Administration.
Mr. Childress, Chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee,
gave him that advice in the name of
the whole committee.
Providence never permits events
to occur by chance or accident. If it
hadn’t been for Mr. Tilden’s ven
tures in the reform vote market, the
world would never have known who
laid the biggest and ugliest nose in
America. —Burlington Hair/eei/e.
.The Boston .Herald wonders if
Mr. Blaine, on seeing Mr. Schurz in
the Cabinet, will not think it “cussed
foolishness,” as the darky said when
tlie minister was baptizing his wife
and lust iter under the ice.
