The would-be assassin of Packard
ought to have remembered that a
thing to be Wel-don should be done
quickly. To point a pistol at i
man's head and then inquire calmly
"When can I see you," is to furnish
first-class evidonce for himself of
insanity.
Mr. Hayes, if inaugurated, will go
into office loaded down with three
Returning Boards, and bearing a
title covered all over with fraud.
Ho will have a Herculean task be
fore him, to gain the respect of the
people. The Radicals depend upon
impudence to carry them through
the additional term they have
acquired by fraud.
Dr. T. C. Robertson has collected
in York county about five thousand
dollars for Governor Hampton ;
while ex-Treasurer Watson has
bagged only twelve dollars for
Chamberlain. Newberry has paid
over six thousand dollars to Gover
nor Hampton. In Barnwell county
eight hundred and five colored men
have paid taxes to Hampton.
Chamberlain's tax is still in
,ubibus.
Elliott proposes to provO by E.
W. Ml. Mackey that Governor
Hampton was not a citizen of South
Carolina at the time of election
and was therefore not eligible. The
Radicals are in great straits if they
are compelled to rest their case on
any such ridiculous position as this.
Elliott might be more profitably
engaged in searching for witnesses
to prove that he is Attorney- Gener -
al and that Mackey is Speaker, or
still more so in packing up his
plunder preparatory to a final exit
from the State.
The quo tvarranto cases - are
dragging their slow length along in
the courts and seem no nearer a
conclusion than ever. The Supreme
Court would simplify matters great
ly if it gave a speedy decision on
some of the mooted points. Judge
Willard seems anxious to hurry up
the argument, and has reprimanded
Elliott and the other Radical
counsel for delay on s-veral ocea
sions. The Democrats have the law
and the facts with them, and the
sooner they are recogniZed the
better. The people do not propose
ever to 'recognize Chamberlain
agamn.
Senator Sherman was in New York
on Wednesday. In an interview
with a reporter of the New York
Herald, after expressing his convic
tion that Hayes would be counted in
he said:
"South Carolina is by' the Demo
crats themselves admitted to have
returned the Hayes electors. It
does not matter how the vote be
counted Hayes must come in winner ;
if all the ballots which were cast be
counted, the Republicans will come
out with a majority of 700. Wa~de
Hfampton has8 beenl elected to the
Governorship."
This remark of yohn Sherman's is
significant. He represents the ex
treme wing of the Republican party,
and if he acquiesces in the election
of Eampton, then are Chamberlain's
chances desperate indeed.
The appetite of the Hayesites on
the Electoral Commission improves
, daily. Florida required a consids
erable sprinkling of pepper and
~mustard to make .it go dlown ; and
'Bradloy gagged percoptibly. Bunt
Louisiana was swvallowed on Satur-.
.day, horses, hoofs and all, without
'coremouy. Not a wrxy face wvas
made as the tough objections of the
:Democrats wvore gulped downi in
quiek sneqossion. .Testimony was
offered to prove that the Rieturning
Board was-illegal, that it had no
power to count the Electoral votes,
that it nover canvassed the election
retumnna, but merely aggregated the
nupervisors' returns, .that .afldavits
were forged, that reun were
altered, and that two of the Electora
wera ine1lihbl. The nepublica.
voted solidly to exclude all testimo
ny, and then scored Louisiana for
Hayes. They refused even to exam-.
ine into the ineligibility of the elec
tors, as they had examined in the
case of Florida, for the simple rea
son it offers that two Hayes electors
from Louisiana were ineligible,
whi'e none was in Florida. Oregon
is possibly counted for Hayes by
this time, as the Commission is
making indecent haste.
A Greensboro', N. C., firm made
a shipment last week of 45,000
rabLit skins.
John Bright believes that crimi
nals are too harshly dealt with. If
a foot-pad should hit John Bright
on the chin and take his watch the
humane Englishman would want
the follow hung.
Governor Vance, of North Caroli
na, is in receipt of a letter from the
Secretary of War, demanding the
records of the office of the Adjutant
General of that State for the years
1861 to 1865, inclusive. Governor
Vance has replied, refusing to com
ply with the demand.
Mr. W. W. Corcoran, of Washing
ton, is now 78 years old. He has
spent $200,000 on the Corcoran
Gallery and the ground on which
it stands, aind $100,0000 on the origi
nal collection of pictures and statu
ary ; and for an endowment fund lie
has given 8'J000,000.
When the next edition of Web
ster's "Utabri iged" appears, we
may expect to see this addition to
the ever-expanding volume of the
English language-thus:
v.i a. The act of bull
dozing; the condition
BULTL-DOZE, of beingibull-dozed, as
it were; to be the victim
BULL-DOZING of a bull-dozer, so to
I speak, [Colloq. and
J vulgar.]
A meek-eyed married man offered
as a test at a spiritual seance, that
the medium name the articles in his
wife's upper bureau drawer. The
medium said the spirit would repeat
the contents of Webster's Dictionary,
or do any other light task, but that
life was too short to attempt the task
proposed, and the rash proposer was
hustled out of the hall.
His PURPOsE.--A policeman dis
covered a boy in Justice Alley yes
terday in close proximity t> a car
riage and buffalo robe, and he called
out:
"Boy I what are you doing
here ?"
"Resting," replied the lad.
" Was it your purpose to steal
that buffalo robe ?" demanded the
officer.
"No, sir, it wasn't. There's a
feller out there who wants to lick me
and it's my purp~ose to wait here
till lhe goes awvay, and then I'll pur
pose uip home and got my brothers
and our dog, and we'll come back
and raise the awfulest tragedy
around here you ever seen off the
gilded stage I"
