Justice Bradley was sick yesterda. He has a conscience then, after all. Now comes Logan wanting something. tVe do not see how they are all to le pro;ided for. Hayes was defeateil by wer two hundred and fifty thousand votes, and yet he is the president. 'Fraud. Having reached the Oregon ca.se, tle commission decides that it makes a difference whoe ox Ls gored. The struggle for the local loaves and nahes Is over. The joint convention has been held and seven more republicans are happy. The house refuses to banish the titillating cat from tho state prisons or to provide for the literary delectation of the confined classes. Blue gl;w application is suggested for the Washington correspondent? of the western radical organs' if it has a tendency to make them truthful. "Reform within the party" is the liveliest fellow among the radicals. The problem is to get "reform within," etc., and Morton, Logan, Blaine, old Zach and the rest of them all into the same box. It can't be done. Kdrnund gnght to have something. We think he w almost equal to Morton in undiluted, profound rascality, and those who know our opinion of Morton will not hesitate to acknowledge that this is a very handsome compliment on our part. If Governor Hendricks really entertains the notion of a foreign tour, with which he has been credited by correspondents, he may combine business with pleasure, having been appointed by the legislature a delegate to the international prison congress at f?t-r kholm. Governor Odquit, of Georgia, is a Methodist and preaches every Sunday to the , negroes in his employ. Gracious hevings! and he a democrat? It can not be, it can not be. Wonder If Brother Bayliss" wouldn't exchange pulpit with him. Brother Bayliss would whoop up the darkies. If the fraudulent president possesses the characteristics which his friends claim for htm he can not possibly take the presidency. They were very ostentatious in letting everybody know that if be were not fairly elected he would not accept it. Now, will any Kane man say that he was "fairly" elected ? The Madison Courier says that General Buck Terrel is a eon of the late Williamson Terrell, D. D., ami that his services to the tat during the war "were very great." As Uj the Keneral's arentage, it is probably unnecessary to say that the Courier is mistaken, and as for "his services," they consisted in learning equestrianship on horses fsi on bran and oata bought with the state's money, axxl charged in Morton's account aa vow feed. TLere 1j some talk about making Jay Gould secretary of the treasury. It would be a soft thing for bis successor. There wouldn't be anything to look after next time. Jay ougbt to have something, though. He contributed twenty-tiro thousand dollars to the campaign fund, and has run the New York Tribune on about the same plane as the Indianapolis Journal, which of course took all the "independence" out of it that Greeley endeavored to instil into it, and made iivjtNdrrTndicalorgan. . A dispatcb from Han Franci ao announces the severe caning of one of the correspondents of the New York Times by a gentleman who had taken offense at the contents of some of his letters. The correspondents of the .Times eeua to have a hard time of it. La-rt summer one of them received a terrible beating in this city, and threats were made against another in Florida during the counting of the votes of that etate. There is a scurriloxM tone running through tbe New York Times, both in its correspondence and editorials. Tbe paper was the great originator of nearly all tbe lies against Mr. Tilden daring the recent campaign. After "Charley" Foster, from the Columfcus, Ohio, ongretwional district bad awrared

the house of preventatives of the tran scendent ratr'otism and wisdom of the fraudulent rtsident, Mr. Sparks, of Illinois, obtained ' (jj anj replied as follows: "The gyatteiuan from Ohio has fdven us 'quite 4 little dissertation upon the patriot'ism .f tije republican candidate f:r tle 'jVestdency, and he tells us that le will

Yes; and we may say that four prominent radicals agree with Mr. .Sparks. Professor Seelye and Congressman Pierce, both representatives from Massachusetts, Congressman Tvirinan, of Florida, and General Barlow, all prominent radicals, and we might truthfully add Senator Congling. KISI.NEV REVIVAL. When t bis commission lets in Haye. probably many people will experience a feelim? of relief, but there will remain in the country a ?:rent anil d-ep sense of dissatisfaction, for men late Injusti-e and rebel In their hearts against the success of fraud. It is well that this is no, for a nation that Submits to wrong w ithout protest, and bears outrage without anger and the determination to remedy the evils. Is In the way of Underline. New York Hun. The business phases of the political questions that are agitating the country are of undisguised importance. We would not dwarf them if we could on the contrary, we would bring them into bolder prominence every day. But it is eminently becoming to look at this matter in a way cal eulited to lead to rational conclusions, and therefore it is wise to ask, Who are responsible for the general stupor that prevails in business affairs? What are the underlying causes of inertness? What has made confidence disapiear from the marts of commerce and Industry? Why is there idleness in all the land when heaven has been propitious and the harvests abundant? For all of this there has been one grand, central, overshadowing reason, and it is found in the ascendency of a corrupt, rotten, thieving political party. Around this central cause oth ers have revolved and contributed their share to the general depression, but the authority of the radical party is as certainly the chief cause and curse as that the sun is the great source of light and heat. Radicalism paralyzes every thing it touches. Like a devil fish, it pulls down and under; like crime, it degrades; like poison, it kills; like carion. it stinks; like a thief, it steals; like the devil, it lies. Its professions of virtue are only equalled by its treachery. It has one preference, &elf; one passion, pride; one ambition, power. This party has held sway a number of years and has debauched every thing sacred in law, every thing honorable iu polities, every thing just in government, and everything honest in business. With a president a bribe taker and thieves for subordinates, the fountains of integrity were poisoned and the streams that Mowed over the land were as corrupting as the drainage from a morgue. Peculation, fraud and theft were found everywhere, and the " investigating committees unearthed crimes where the ingenuity of devils had been displayed to cover up their hiding places. Panics were inaugurated by the financial olncials of the government, that they might speculate off of the ruin they entailed. Black Fridays preceded blue Mondays, until wild confusion took the place of order, and the strand was strewn with wrecks from pirate ships like Jay Cooke to the frail oyster sloop CAugbt in the gale, tyrant, Boss Shepherd, Belknap, Robeson and others equally prominent and infamous grew rich, while the wheels of industry were hushed and idle men asked for bread. Under the reign of radicalism, widespread demoralization took the place of accountability, and while Grant received his tribute of pups, horses, houses and lands, the lesser thieves organized rings ai.d jobs, which, when exposed, discovered sn amount of fraud hitherto unheard of in any land under the sun. These things were the legitimate products of radicalism in authority, and it was in a great measure this infamous fraud record that brought about the determination on the part of the people to rid the country of tbe intolerable curse. The decision was made at the ballotbox. It was conclusive, and would have been final, but for the frauds that have since been practiced by the radical party for the purpose for a new lease of power. Under these circumstances It becomes a matter of supreme importance to the country to inquire what reasons there are for believing that a party, proved vo be corrupt, and whose policy has led to business embarrassments and prostration, will reinstate business confidence, release money from its locks and bars and revive tbe industries of the country. If the country would have business prosperity it must get radical thieves" out of office. It must purify every department of the . government, and see to it that the fountains from which How influences that corode like rust arc dried "up, that integrity takes the place of fraud, and that thieves give way to honest men in the management of public a flairs. This can not be expected under radical rule, and if by fraud Hayes is inaugurated president, the country may expect a continuation of Granti8m which, in, the future as in the past, means slow death to business. It seems that the Indiana delegation missed seeing the fraudulent president on the recent trip to Columbus, Ohio. He hud gone to Fremont, Ohio, his old home. And, by the way, in the little speech he got off to his old neighbors, he said nothing about going to Washington, but intimated be expected te see them frequently during the next three or four years. Is it jiossible that he is realizing at last, that it is as Professor Seelye, Gen. D-irlow and Congressmen Purroan and IVrce all radicals have t-aid: that "Au tUction U tinUl with fraud," and perhaps be remembers that he is on record as saying in that caa he wouldn't bare it. '

THE OREGON' AII, IX THE COFFIN . or THE REPUBLIC. Yesterday the electoral deadfall com

mission reached Oregon touched it with its eight criiuo cursed lingers, and linked its name forever in the chain gang of states, made up of South Carolina, Florida, Louisiana and Oregon. In each one of those states there was an honest effort made lo maintain law and give to the United States an honest government and in each fraud . has triumphed, conspirators have succeeded in every instance in overthrowing law, truth and honesty. In every conflict a majority of the electoral deadfall commission has decided in favor of fraud, perjury and desporisni and in so far as such agencies can be said to confer rights, Hayes and Wheeler have triumphed. There is not an honest man in the country at all familiar with the record the conspirators have made since the 7th day of November whose soul does not recoil at the catalogue of crimes it contains. Under Grant the country was humiliated by bribe taking, by peddling otlice for pelf, by rob. bery in every department of the government, by straw bids, by seeing tbe president hobnobbing with thieves in and out of office, and by knowing that rottenness and fraud existed in all transactions from president to the meanest radical scullion. The truth of all this was clearly shown by investigations of democratic committees, and the people said "We will right these wrongs at the ballot-box." Patiently they bore the degredation. At laid their opportunity came, and most gloriously did they redeem their pledge. By a grand majority of more than "Ci),600 votes the' announced their verdict. By that majority the people declared for reform and an honest government, and as certainly as the popular majority declared for reform, just as certainly did the electoral majority repeat the declaration. But whut of it? Oregon tells the sickening story. All is stolen. The republic is rifled of its priceless jewels. Perjury, like a bediz.end prostitute, tiauuts its official robes in high places, and receives the recognition of supreme court judges. Fraud walks the avenues of the capital city with a stately step, for the electoral deadfall commission has dignified it, and tainting to the chain gang of states as the places where it triumphed, and to the army and navy as its appliances to compel honest men to submit indicates its strength by the official position of it patrons. Haye is already manufacturing his cabinet end when he steps into otlice over a pathway as certainly p:ived with perjury as "hell is paved with good intentions," will take an oath and assume the duties of an olace to which he has no more right than the deil or any othej hell begrimed friend. He take the oilice by the potentiality of fraud and perjury, and will be, in spite of the electoral deadfall commission which indorses these agencies, a crime clad and a crime damned intruder in the presidential mansion. It is impossible to conceive of a more -crushing calamity. The electoral deadfall commission has done its work. The Oregon nail in the coffin of the republic was driven home by t ight men who betrayed their country for pnrty. C.1X THE SHEEP TRI'ST THE WOU'T Notwithstanding the readiness of the Washington joint commission to indorse the rascalities of radical returning boards, the republican leaders are uneasy and nervous. They know there is many "a slip "twist the 'cup and the lip," and they are fearful that justice will come in even at the eleventh ho'jr and thwart thv well laid plans of the conspirators. They are trying to honey niggle southern democrats into the belief that ihould Hayes become president the policy of Grant towards the southern states will not be continued. Indeed, they are now paying court to Hill and Gordon and Lamar and other southern members of congress with the assiduity of a gambler's capper to a rich green-horn ready to be plucked. One year ago Ben Hill was all that was diabolical in morals and infamous in politics; to-day he is a statesman par txcfllrxc; a breakwater, standing between our nationality and chaos. One year ago be was the slanderer of Union soldiers, the apologist of Confederate murderers and tho representative of southern barbarism; to-day be is the Moses who is to lead the southern people out of the wilderness. Why this change of opinion of one who has not changed himself? It Jl because the radical leaders think they have in him a man who can aid them in the grand conspiracy of making a president. They know his repugnance to strife and turmoil, and believe that rather than see bis country involved in either, he will' influence his southern friends to consent to the inauguration of a fraudulent president without a protest. For the purpose of holding him to the work, and enabling him to control his southern friends, it is given out that Returning Hoard Hayes, when, be becomes president, will pursue a conciliatory course toward the south, and take into his counsel a representative of southern conservatism. That the southern members of congress have been impressed by theie outgivings is evinced by the fact that they have stood aloof from the aggressive democratic members who have tried to arrest the consummation of the conspiracy. But the personal organ of Hayes at Columbus has let the cat out of the bag before it was time for it to jump, and it may be that this cat has overturned the piggin and spilled tbe milk. . Comley, the editor of the Hayes organ, says that his master will recognize Tackard and Chamberlain, and perpetuate carpet-bag rule in the south. This announcement of the policy of the usurper brought consternation to the ranks of the conspirators, for they knew it endangered their hold on southern conservatives, and made probable the cementing of the democratic members. Hence, telegrams poured in upon Hayes on

Saturday lrt-ggins him to repudiate the sentiments Of his organ, and disarm all respon

sibility for their appearance. This was done, butitsemsit did not satisfy the southern members, for they voted with their jolitical brethren of the north to take a recess until to-day. What course the democratic members of congress will pursue in reference to the further counting of the electoral vote is imrossible to divine, but if southern gentlemen imagine that anything they do to forward the count "v II 1 be appreciated by the men who control the republican party and direct its policy, they are mistaken. The sweet jongs they have heard for the last few days were intended to soothe their nerves and put to sleep any recollections they may have of the past doings of these Jacobins. These men realize the fact that the only chance they have to consummate the grand villainy at which they have been working since they found they were beaten at the polls is to lull to rest the fears of those who have suffered so greatly at their hands, and impress them with the belief that tardy justice will be done them and their section by the returning board president. When the sheep can trust the wolf, when the chicken can trust the hawk, and the mouse can trust the cat, then, and not till then, can the southern I-eople trust the radical party. THE IUI FEKEME AN TO WHICH OV IN (JO REO. Many of our readers will remember the fable of the famous ox which was gored by the lawyer's bull. "I have come," said a farmer to a lawyer, "to inform you that my bull has gored your ox, and I want to know 'what is to be done about it." "The case is a plain one," replied the lawyer, "you 'must pay me the value of the ox." "What 'did I say?" rejoined the farmer; "I was mis'taken. It was your bull which gored my ox." "Ah," said the lawyer, "that alters 'the cae; we must examine into it." When the joint commission considered the Florida and Louisiana cases there was no going lehind the returns. Tiie certificates of Stearns and Kellogg were sacred instrument., and could not be disturbed. No matter if bte.irns did certify to a lie; it could not be inquired into. No matter if the highest court in Florida had declared that the ac ts of the returning board of that state were illegal and void, they must accepted i's final and conclusive, because tbey were hallowed by the certificate of the carpet-bag governor. And if Wells and Anderson and their negro associates, as the returning board of'Louisiara. did disfranchise 1-1,000 voters of that state, the act could not be inquired into because Kellogg had certified that the findings of the returning board were true and notwithstanding the further fact that two of the men whom the returning board declared to be chosen as electors were disqualified by the express provisions of the constitution of the United tnte?., It could not be shown because tbe ; i-ogus governor of Louisiana had certified ' :bat they were duly chosen electors. Such were the decisions of the eight radicals on the joint commission. The governor's certificate was the one thing needful. It estopped all inquiry; it healed all defects. But, presto, change! When the commission came to decide upon the Oregon question, it ''Wheeled about and turned about and 'jumped Jim Crow." Governors' certificates were no longer sacred things. Governors as well an other men could lic and certify to a he. It was now the republican ox which was gored and it must Ik? examined into. It wa irtineut to inquire if Watts was a federal officer when be cast his vote for Hayes. It was perfectly legitimate to show that Cronin had not a majority of the votes in Oregon, but to have attempted to prove that the Hayes electors in Florida and Louisiana received a majority of the votes cast in these states would have violated every principle of law known to returnina; boards and joint commissions. And such decisions as these are expected to meet the approbation of the American peo pie. They may compel the people to recognize a man as president in whose interest they were made, but the people know that be who is made president in this way is a fraudulent executive, and not entitled to their rwpect. They know that they have been swindled out of their rights by a lot of thieves, and while they may submit to the bcouldreliärn they will loathe the scoundrels. Florida, Louisiana and Washington conspirators, and not the people, will make the president, and his name is Returning Board J layes. The marital troubles of the charming I'atti eem to have enlisted the whole populace of St. Petersburg on one side or the other of the somewhat public quarrel. It was a theatrical, not to say dramatic, business all through. The final outbreak between the ill asorted pair took place in a public opera box, and the czar bounced the noble marquis out of Russia at the personal solicitation of the fair and musical marquise. Fancy the whole enginery of a mighty empire placed at the disjosaf of a capricious prima donna, who wishes to rid herself of an inconvenient appendage in the shape of a husband! The dispatch that gives the above xarticulars denies the elopement story. In 1672 the democrats carried Louisiana for Greeley by 6,t'J2 majority, and the rascally returning board reversed the majority in fav jr of Grant to the tune of 14,621 and the electoral vote of Louisiana was rejected. Edmunds, Morton and Frelingbuysan, of tke present electoral commission, voting to throw out the eight electoral votes, but the other day under the same circumstances with the addition of a judicial oath to the regular senatorial oath, all three voted to count Louisiana for their fraudulent president. What is the right name for it, rascality or perjury, or both?

Ol'R ROOSTER.

At twilight'. shades and morning's dawn Our Rooster's watched the course of crime. He's seen the perjured illains fawn, And heard the thieving kennel whine. On watch when Grant, the second Xcro, Ordered troops to murder law, He's stood his ground like Spartan hero, With indignation in his craw. Grandly he crowed the glory When triumph flashed, where Rads lay slain, Till the world caught up the story, And vict'ry was the grand refrain. He heard the crime forg'd fetters rattle And queried, "Are the victors slaves? Or will there be another battle, Where freemen on its surging waves Will fight for rights their fathers willed them Till hope is lost to mortal vision. Or fate a funeral pyre shall build them To save their names from curs'd derision?" Our Rooster has but lofty scorn For crime stained Rads and ierjurtd thieves, And loud will crow on that glad morn When each in hell his pay receives. He 11 crow when Morton pleads for ice To cool that lying tongue of his'n; He'll crow when Bradley's in the vice The devil keeps in darkest prison. He'll crow when Wells plunges under Hell's hottest waves in search of Steam"; He'll crow when both, with stolen plunder, Receive their pay in bonds and burns. Undismayed, our Rooster's crowing, And though the dawn is not serene, He'll crow till man, defiant growing, Will by his courage change the scene. He'll crow till man, though fierce the fightNo matter where God gave him breath At freedom's shrine wilfplegde his might For freedom or a freeman's death. 'OXGRES.SIO.N'AL. SUMMARY. XI.IV. dtugr.

EDITORIAL. OPINIO.

Tlie Xenftpnper or Indian sod the Xa I J on on the Electoral Fraud. The KtAte Pitm. . THE REASON KOR IT. Richmond Proe Press. With the inauguration of Til len most of the republican leaders would be forced to absent themselves "from the country for an indefinite length of time. the fact stated. (Hancock Democrat. The national returning board having decided the Louisiana case in favor ol the Hayes electors, that state has been formally counted for that distinguit-hed representative of fraud, corruption and perjury. A SAD DAY. Winchester Herald. It is indeed a sad day for the honor of our country when the votes of a etate covered all over with charges of corruption and fraud, and these charges not refuted to the satisfaction of honest men, as in the case of Louisiana, .decides the contest. NO FULlBCSTEklNi. New Albany Ledger-Standard.) The Ledger-Standard is and has been opposed to all schemes of filibustering to elect a president, It knows that Tilden is honestly elected, and the inauguration of Hsves, after a fraudulent election, will damn him and Ms party beyond the hope of salvation. KINDS A MARE'S NEsT. JeflVrsou vnie News. John Logan did not withdraw from tbe senatorial contest because he was beat, but to get J udge Davis out of the way of getting on the eouimistsion. The ruse was successful, and we prophecy that Black Jack will be Hayes's right bower, and gtt a position bettor than the Illinois senatorship. THE DKMKXERATE COURT. jCorydon Democrat. Before the selection of .this commission, every one looked upon our supreme court as a fair, just and impartial tribunal. How u it now? There is not a child in all the country old enough to read but looks with contempt upon this once dignified body. A MSAITOINTED EXPECTATION. It was very generally supposed bv the people throughout the country that tlie socalled "electoral tribunal" was to decide the question of the disputed votes on its merita; that fraud in the states of Florida and Louisiana would be probed to the bottom, and the country given the whole truth in regard to the election in these disputed state. WANTS TO HEAR FIIOM TILDKN. Evansvillc Courier. Mr. Tilden has never consented to submit his rlaims to the presidency to the decision of the eight thieves. The people nho elected him are ready to inaugurate him if he will but say, "Having been fairly elected, I mean tobe inaugurated." Let 'him but give the word, and his way to the whiU; house will be cleared of all obstacles by the strong arms of the people. WANTS DELAT. IJgonier Banner. Though the impression that Hayes will be inaugurated seems to be general, the republicans nevertheless feel quite uneasy. The Louisiana outrage is so flagrant that the average republican politician can see nothing but disaster in the future. It is very evident that llayes'a inauguration can be prevented if the democrats of the house so determine. The 3d of March is close at hand; by judicious delay the time for declaring a result can easily be passed by. ACQUIESCENCE DEPENDS. fMunele Courier-Journal.' 'There is a good deal cf talk about whether the people will acquiesce in the decision of the so-calJvd "great tribunal." In our judgment, it depends upon the action of the commission. If they that is, a majority of them as it now seems they intend to do, make themselves as infamous in fraud as the Louisiana returning board, we do not believe the people will submit. In fact, they should not. A BAD OUTLOOK. 'Columbia City Post. There is a sullen, dogged feeling eristing over the perjured action of the electoral tribunal, which does not bode well for the future. The facts relating to the votes cast in tho.e states are too well known to be covered up by any tribunal. To 'consummate the plans of the conspirators they dare not attempt investigation. It would have )een fatal. Tbe powers of hell were, therefore, invoked to foist Hayes on the country. Sings like a bird. Tbe delightful effects of this new principle, Dr. J. H.
