VOL. I---NO. I .bU WINNSBORO, S. C.. TH URSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 18, 1877. * MR. TILDEN'S PROSPECTS. IMPOSSIDLE TO SEE HOW 1118 INAU GURATION CAN 1j DEFEATE D. A Letter from Sonator Gordon, of Georgia, to Governor Colqultt>. Senator Gordon, of Georgia, has addressed a letter to Governor Colquitt. of that Stato, on the pres ent situation, which hiaIs beeni ap proved by all the Democrutic Sen 4 tor'S.0 andRpresenta6tives, an~d whichl he opens by saying I do not Wonder at your anxious mnquiry us to the prospuets of Mr. Tiden's ilat(ugratioll. I believe him to haevo been fairly elected. Such is the volvictiol), I think, of Aie country, of all DeI ca , and of a large body of Republicans who suppoued lovoinor Hiay.s. Joty any unprejtudiced, mnau can doubt it or how his inauguration call bo de feted with aIiy sho)w1 of cml) p) i;alce with law seems to mo beyond c.mi pr)ehension, and to plaiii peoplo the assumliption of the olice of Chief E;ecutive agatinst the constitution ally-expressed will of the poople would scom anll act of simple man1 pa tion, and to mark another stage in the history of inl expkniring republic. Of course it is idle, in advanceO of the report of the joint commllitteo of thie two 1houses appointed for the purpose, to speculate as to the plain to be adopted for countiig the Electoral votes, but it is safo to saty that no pln which fitids support iu the letter or spirit of the constitu tion, in the declared opinion of its framers, or in the practice or pre cedents of the government, or that will stand the test of time, can be adoptod to count in Governor Hayes. I repeat, that of all the plns for colling in that gentle 1m11Im whicii the 1Republican press is suggesting, and which take different lues with each succeeding day, ts the p-rty exigency or the public pulse seems to demand, not one of them has tihe least warrant of law or sanction of comimandiug prcedenta 11uon any one colstrucLion of the constitution, except that Which would confer upon the Vice-Presi dont ill the powors whieh Congress possesses to count or reject tie vote of States-nd that is no construc tion at ill The result of the count ing miust be tihe eiection of Mr. Tiiden. If, for instUnce, tile prima facio progannme, which was tile Rc plblican plan ufntil thd action of Governor Grover, of Oregon, is to ho adopted, Mr. Tildeni h1as 185 votes and is elected, If, on the contrary, Congress is to go behind the ceri icaites and count the votes as given by the popl of the St it< s Mr. Tilden hats 196, without South Car'olina, 1nd of course is elected. If tile twenty-second joint rule -is to be readopted, allowing either house to object to the count n.; of a S at. of course the Holns. of ltepreosenta tives will object to counting Louisi, an1, Florida and possibly South Cairolina for Governor ives. It cannot be supposed that the House will ever consent to have these States counted as ma~niplamted b returning beards who haIveJ usurpedl po wers not conferred by the laws of thuose States, and( exin essly (denied. by the courts in two of them. The result 0on that plan wou(I be to leave Mr. IHayes wvith only 106 votes and therefore not elected. If thec bill of Senator Morton, now before the Senate, on the motion of Senia tor' Edlmunds; should be passod( re 'qluiiing alhl thle votes to be counted from States which have sent up but on10 set of cortihjeatos, or thei 0on0 coun1lted upon which both houses agreed where there are two returns, theni also wvould tihe resmult be Mr. Tilden's election. Again, if that clause of tihe constitution wich roe quires for the election of a President a majority of all tile Electors ap > ointed be construed to meani a *naijority of thle Elctors legally chosen andi tile votes of one0 or more States should be r'ejected, it wouldl leave 184, a majority, and Mr. Tildien is elected ; or if the other construction be given to, that clause, viz., that it requires 183 - votes to elect, that is a majority of *all tile Electors appointed, whether counted or not, then, although there would lbe no election by tme people, in case any State wore re jected, yet t: House would elect, and wvould elect Mr, Tilden. But supposo the joint committee should fail to agree and tile clounlting be left wherle time constitution leaves it-to thle twvo houses. In that case the vote of no State to which objection was made could bo lawfully counted, because, as counting is an affirma tive act to be performed by both houses, it canniot be done b~y one. What is the business of both jointly cannot be. performed by one sepa Srately. In each State, thlbrofore, when there are more than one set of returns, neither could be counted if objection were made. A count by one, where it is clearly made the dutty of two, is no count at all. Senator Gordon then goes on to say that the constitution requires the two houses jointly to count and a ntly to object. The votes to ~nted, lhe maintains, is what the two hottees agree on, and not the vote to be rejected, The thirty.. seven States are entitled to protee. tion agaittst the' forged and false uitterannas of thirtenaam Staea. Bo'ter that at Stato be silenced tem porarily th:m sho should under corn pulsioil speCak the iutruth, the pro ciso r ovorso of the verdict rendored by a majority of her people. Sena tor Gordon concludes as follows : But lot us go furthor. Suppose the House of Representatives should athicate and coisent to go through the more form of counting those re turnm which in the doubly certified itLtOS were cIlothed with the forms9 of law. This would be to ignore its colstitutional power to o.xamino into the correctnoss of the returns. But e ;uld Governor Hayoe bo counted in even upon that pl: ? The Re publicans could thus Captul, of cour11,3, 0he1w thr-oo Southeni1 States,4 but(, by thLo saio rule the Democrats would of necessiity capolre olne vote from11 Oregon. For, if the Hayos, Ealcton; in Lonisiain-, for instneo, arc certified by the Governor of that Siato, so is one Tilden Elector in Oregon certified by the Governor of that State. If it be staid that the popular vote of Oregon was over one thousand against the Tilden Electors, the reply is that the popu lar vote of Louisiana was more than eight thousand :lgainst tho 1-rya. Elo:tors If the Governor of Ore gon, supported a1s he is- by the de cisions of the highest courts and a long array of legal authority, be said to havo coimitted a blunder in denying a certificate to a Hayes Elector, who, though elected, is ineli gible, cortainly the returning botrd, sulpported by 110 law. andi. violating the very law by which it-, was created, has committed not only a blunder, but a crime agaiust the peoplo of Louisiana, the pobplo of the United ,Statoe. and, if allowed to decido the Presidential election, atainst liberty itself, by refusing cortificates to the Tilden E!ectoi s, who were both chwt(d and eligiblo. So that upon t' is I lan, also, Mr. Tilden must be de;Ihjro- I :ected and inauguratLed, unQlesi we are to witness the remarka ble spectacle of tho .Iopoentatives of a great pooplo att'2nmpting to sottle one of tho most lolmien tous questions which concor:1 their welfare and their libe ties by s'<1ne sti ange procedure, whiieh is to be a igorolsly elforced When it Hub, servos the purpose of one( political p.irty and be uncereioniouily i g nored where its enforcelent would opende to the advanlt go of another. I group thsos dift. rent phases of the Electoral problem together thlt you Ill. y clearly see how very dinli eult it is to defeat Mr. Tilden by !my method of counting which is liely to receive the sutpport of ton partist1ilan Ien in reply to the qiiestion ats to whether Mr. Tilden Will be p .ICeably inauguarated, I 1m almot re:ady, in view of 'the consid erltions I have given you, to say yes. It is proper, however, for ie io apprie to of the belief provail in"' here, that the m lor daiing la, I., Crai of the RepublicanL party are di i posed to take the risk of inmugurt in Governor Hayes in spite of Mr. Ti ten's eloetion, relying upon01 the :mpp~losed pro.Iisposition of too peo~ pie to mnake no iarmied resistaneco in :uliy event, and thle belief is 1no less genleral that, if constantly 8s atured hoefor'ehand of peiaceable ac qluiesence, these do051porat en whi ill ruthlessly proceed to cariry out their purp~oses, howvever fatal to free electione and to p)olitical liberty. Such, I say, is the aplprehension pre va,ling here. But whlatever may be the .dcs.gns 21' this class of Re~publlicansl, I cannot be lieve thtat a majority of tile Son.. auto wil over ennctionl 50 laloiss a poimen~ft. I hlave faith thait theO power of truth and reverence for lawl will control such a body as5 the Uni ted Stattes Senate. It is imy socret that thlere are Riepublicans in bo0th houses of Congress who wvill never consent thait thae VicoPresident of the United States shall oerciso the extraordinary and datngorouis po wers which'tile extremists seek to con for upon haim ; anid I kn~ow of no other miethaod by which Mr.: Hayes can be0 counted in. Tile very act of .ap pointing a joint comm~ittoo to rep)ort a plan would seem to be an abandon ment of such a Ieo and'ca recog nition of the constitutional powver of the two( houses of Congress over tihe entire subject. I have thus endeav ored to show you that any probable plan11 which may be adopted, short of vesting tihe President pr'o temporo of the Senate with dictatorial power, must result inithe legal inauguration of Mr. Tfilden. Nothing, I think, can prevent this, unless the ,oxtrem ists, emboldened by the promise of p~oputlar non..resistance, should at tempt. by sophistry. to evade the logic of facutR and law, and to deny the constitutional rights of the House of Rlepresentatives. It will be seen that the constitution providtsa for all conltingdncies which ha-'e arisen and for all likely to arise in this case, and the autest guarantee of a peaceful solution of this grave ques. tion is an unswerving adherence to tihe law and the precedents, Lot me conclude witha the remark that the great mass of the people, Reopubli.. cans and Democrats, are honest and fair-minided. I1 repose with great confidence on the power of public opinion, which is erystalizin'g1 I be, lieve, in the direction I hate mndicat ed. .That it may be potent enough to secure the inautgrraion of M. Tilden I beliove to he tihe wish of very largo liajority of the poopl c and I know of many honest Republi o:ln4 who love country more thatl party. I an, very truly, yours, J. 13. Gontoo.

T1here's doublfts about a heoap of things iin this silublnary world1, but there ain't no doubt about that, L~ot em rip and rgar and 5fnort and cavort like a dyin' aligator if they want to, bujt my private opinion is a heapI of 'cm had bettor bo miarshalin' their assets for tr'anspor'tationi to some furrin, and unknowvn clime. Intimi.. (dationl I Oh my country1 - Amazin imfpunce I 'Who has beenf intimi dated for thle last ton years ? Haven't they kept us under bayo inets all the tijo.7 . Niven't they divided the army aboujt half-.and hal'f between us and the Injuns t Let 'em hunt for intimidation nearer homne. Why, sur', Athere w~as *o s inds of humble Democrats in Ohio and Pennsylvania who wanted to vote for Mr. Tilden, but their bread and meat depended on not doing it. How abcuit all tho workmen in the shops, mills, factorios, that belonged, t') the Radicals who mado their bloated fortunes out of the late w tr? There was no intimidation, of course, but th boss calls them all up and says "You' vote as you please, but if you don't vote for Iayes (didn't you say that was hif linme?) you can come to the captain'tj offieo and settle, alnI get your NwAlkill papers." The truth is, Mr. Watterson, those Radical cowards have been afraid of us so long that they havo got intimidation on the brain. Boil Butler was invited to go to New Orleans to help couit, but lie didn't go ; ho replio1 by tolograph "Grent spoos I Calnt go. I feel imtimidated." Now the worst case I have heard of is Jack Allan's. He had three Iullldred negroes oil his sugar planitation, and bein' pressed for labor lio offerod every darkey who would stay at homo an extra dolhir' in silver, ind they sta1ved. The Shine of the coin intimidated m('1, an1(d so Louisiana iN to be set down for-did you isay his namne waa Hayes ? Now for tho othr sido of the picture, These Radical rascals 1made the p)oor niggers believe that if Mr. 'I ilden was elected they would all be put on tho block and sold into slavery. They were made to /n li( ce a lie and put in. 'ear of lo'dn'their liberty, am that' wasn t ininidatiol, was it? Why, sur., inl the lmst ten days 17 of 'em have axed me to buy 'em when the salq (c0os of ; but I'm afeerd to do it, They have follered these Radicals Ho long I'm afeerd they would steal overything I've got, Sir, if there was somie high and m1iighity arbiter of those issues who would speak to us from the cloudn--somo great and siupreele judge a mottin' on the top most 11peak of the Itocky mountains a lookin' dowt, with majestic wisdon upon this bedoviled and bowildered land, lie Would throwl out overy Ing gor vote that such iiimlunidation carrild to Hayes, which they say is his 111111. ISur, tile intimnidationt was all onl tho otler side. Even the carpot-blggfrls and scalawagn who roost around us like buzzards watchin' a sick horse, would havo voted for Unicle.Sami if they hadn't been afcored of losin' their oflices. They wero intimidated, and now they are lamen11itini' they didn't do liko Sai Bard, and . floo from -the wrath to comio beforp it was too late, and make tbemselves unani, 111011. Sin', I know that all of us, more or less, are livin' under a measure of intimidaItion. The fear of the law, the fear of society, tIO f ar of the devil, or some other foar, keeps us all intimidatedl, There are some 11en1 I would lick if I wasn't afeord they would lick me(-. There's mighty few mm hiving in a state of perfect freodomi. Our donoiistie and cojn mmercial relations give the lio to it very dlay. You know howv it is youriself ; but ar'e all the relations to 1)o busted up on that account ? No sur-hy no mneans. A r'easonay, b)l0 qulantity of inltimidlation in a wholesome thing for beast and No, let 'em count us cut if they dare to. I knowv they enni boaft the ahnllanac and~ tile muiltiplication table and tho'dov1il liimsmlf on a count w~hien thny want to, T.hieir only chafnce to get out of his kingdom whenr ho gets 'om, is,'to fool him on the count some evening at dress, parade. But we've got some long heads a watchin' of 'em-, and they'll be caught, at their rascality, Joe Brown and~ Sm Bard havo gone to Florida, anid Joe is a wvhale. H~e's siomio on a count hlimself. Ho's count(d votos hofore, and hain't for got tbo, lick, Whamt,ber he learned froim Bullock or JDullock learned from him I dont know but Joe . didn't jinlo Gidleon's band for nlothing, He slipped in and slided out just as camuy, and nobody know whlien it was done. Sam Bard doesn't do thlat way. He tunmbles in andl tumbles out with a regular sommorsot, and mkes ns much noise in doin' it as a sohoolboy julmpin' into a mill pond, B~ut Joseph is all right now, and our fplks are bettin' on him. One thing is shmor*3 and certain-, woare not going to have the other foller to rule over us-and did you say his name was Hayes I Yours jubilantly, BuLL An'r. The Charleston 1Tournal of C2ome merec says: "It is stated upon good authority that Todpath, the notorb. onhloodly~shirjt faunter, was a~ nmember of a gang of bummers that ontered the mansion of. the Missee Elliott, in George street, while that btuilding was under the safeguard of tihe United States after the war, and stolo therefrom a F'rench clock, Tise elook was return~ed by order of General'-Woodford, then in comman4 of the city, and it is now in the possession of the own~er, who ca*n tell the little storg."
