a%I%?ORTART DECLARATION.. ‘w%téféﬁ Before its adjournment, the House of Representatives, by a vote of of 137 %0 88, adopted a resolution declaring that Samuel J. Tilden was +legally elected President, and Thomas A Hendricks was glected Vice-President, of the United States. This is the deliberate judgment, by a large majority, of the popularbranch of the American Congress, that Mr. Hayes was not lawfully elected President of the United States. It goes upon the records of Congress, and- will' remain there, forever. = This declaration, as the Sun fitly remarks, stands out, as ‘the settled opinion of the House of Representatives of the United States, that Mr. Hayes has no legal and just title to the office of President. * He is President de facto, but. not President dejure. Tor all time this goes down as the recorded judgment of the House of TRepresentatives of the United States. S g , 33 - As to the practical value of the House resolu’tion, the following from Sunday’s World will be read with interest: et | ;

Mr. Pelton, anephew of Governor Tilden, who.acted as his private Secretary during the campaign, receiving in that capacity such visitors as the Governor had no occasion to personal-, 1w see, said to a representative of the press last "Saturday, regarding the probable action of Mr. Tilden, that he did not see how the resolution passed, by the House declaring Gov. Tilden to be- the duly elected President of the United States, could be of much avail, or that anything could be done about it by the Governor. It was Mr. Pelton’s opinion that. the action of that body in concurring with the counting of the electoral vote took the strength out of their resolution.. He thought that, had a formal protest been made by the:House against the counting of the vote before it was occomplished, the anatter would be entirely different. e could not say whether or.not Governor Tilden intended to make a formal protest against the inauguration of Gov. Hayes, but that it might be a matter of consideration.-

Had the House passed -this resolution on Thursday, instead of waiting until a formal anneouncement of Mr. Hayes’ election was made by Mr. FerIy, o'ux; noble leader, President-elect Tilden, would'in all probability have taken steps to contest Mr. Hayes’ claims to the occupancy of the executive chair. - :

TWO LESSONS. o It is .indeed a strange—almost a startling coincidence—that last Sunday—the day on which a President was forced upon the people of the Unifea Stated under the forms of law, but contrary to the “true intent and meaning thereof,” nearly all the Sun-day-schools in this ldnd, and throughout all christendom, had for their lesson the story of Naboth—(lnterna‘tional Series, lesson ix.) Inthe cuui’e of truth and justice, we now respectfully invite the readers of THE BANNER to giveythis less;)r'l ~a second, careful perusal and study that story in the first sixteen verses.of the twen-ty-first chapter of the first Book of Kings. No unprejudiced mind will fail to discover a clear and striking par:illel between the measures adopted by the wicked Jazebel to obtain for her equally wicked but weak husban{ the possession of that which belomred to another, and those which have diverted the Presidency from one|to whom .it rightfully belonged and given it to angther. What must be the effect of these two lessons—the one from; Jezreel, the other from Washington—on the children who are soon to be the actors on' the national stage? - - The eminent and learnedtheologian who prepares this international series of ;Sunday-schoo!l lessons for one of the great denominations, in his exposition of this lessohr uses this truthful and impressive language: * %" 41t furnishes a sad commentary upon the depth and extent of the moral corruption of'the people of Israel, that men were to be found who were willing to serve Jazebel in her selfish means.. The only redeeming fact in favor of a degree of moral.sentiment among the people at large, was this; that the conspirators did not dare tb act without a show of reason, and in conformity. with the notes of action ‘required by law. Whether any saw through theruse, and weakly consented to the enormous wrong, we are not able to'afirm.” * * ¥ «Selfishness unchecked runs into, all extremes of injustice and cruelty to accomplish its ends.. There is no safety in‘a land where the last resort of appeal in one’s rights and privileges may be closed by intimidation or bribery. When judges and ministers of the law use %xeir office and employ the -forms whicll give sanction and functions to frustrate the end for which they were appointed, social order is at an end.”

20ME of the republican papei“[s don’t like it that the Democrats refuse to become ‘reconciled to the big steal. These journals seem to think that since the foul deed is done everybody should put on a smile and pronounce a benediction. The N.Y. Wofld, in noticing these criticisms, entreats its republican friends to have patience. “This thing,” it remarks, “of first stealing the electoral votes of a State and then getting three Supreme Court judges t indorse the-act, is new in the Unitez States. After it has been tried three or four times people will be more patient under it. In Mexico and Southorn Spain, where brigandage has long been recognized as a profession, the natives of the country know how to behave when they are stopped .on the highway in a diligencia by a troop of ill-favored horsemen in sombreros. They get down quietly, fall demurely on their faces in the dust, and are robibed without trouble or re monstrance. It is really unreasonable to expect: Americans who doubt Mr. Hayes’ title to-the Presidency, to hail his accession iexactly as they would that of ‘a leéitimately-chosetl Chief Magistrate. After' we have had two or three fraudulent Presidential electionsand countings-in, no doubt things will run more smoothly.” 2

How much ha ppier do you suppose President -elect Tilden feels to-day than the man who has been unfairly counted in? Wg¢ submit it to you, kind reader: Would n’t you rather be counted out' and retain a clear conscience than to'hold a séeptre of frand and eonstantly see a dark cloud hovering over your head? = = -

Negw HampsplßE holds her State election next Tuesday, the 13th. The campaign theie, so far, has:attracted yery little attention ; hence a light vote and the usual republican majority may bepxpected. - . .

THE VOICE OF NEW YORK. - At a meeting of the Democracy of New Yotk city, on Thursday last, the action of Chandler, Morton, Sherman, Kellogg, Stearns, Wells & Co., in entering into a conspiracy to defeat the will of an overwhelming majority of the peovle, Was denounced in a series of vigorous resolutions. After reciting the events connected with that wicked conspiracy since November 7, it is declared: : 1

- Wherefore the House of Representatives, credulous to believe j%ab all honor, all integrity, all patriotism had utterly died out in the hearts of their fellow-citizens, the leaders of the republican party, and having by its committees collected in South Carolina, Fldrida, Louisiana and in Washington the damning proofs of the conspiracy of force and fraud, consented to surrender its separate and sufficient power to frustrate that conspiraey, and to submit those proofs to a tri--bunal in which the ablest Senators, the most eminent Representatives and the foremost Judges of the republican party held a majority of one. This they did; and Justices Miller, Strong and Bradley; Senators Morton,, Edmunds and Frelinghuysen; Representatives Garfield and Hoar, therein. ‘supported by the Republican members of Dboth Houses, unitedly refusing day after day, in every case, toinspect the proofs of fraud, or to permit the least of its evidences to bedaid before them, hgve unitedly con,sen{ed to support, defend and consummatethe eonSspiracy of force and fraud. They have thus become the accessories and copartners, in that conspiracy, of Chandler and Chamberlain, Stearns and Kellogg, and upon the foundation laid by them, they have-built for themselves and their party airefuge of lies. In behalf of the Democracy of the city of New York we denounce these criminals and their erimes. ; We denounce their crimes as more detestable than any other treason to the best governments and more infamous than any usurpation, for it is disloyalty to the republic and to Republican self-government, it. is trait.orous tothe-reign of justice and Jaw, it enthrones fraud, it betrays a people’s trust and subverts a people’s sovereignty.. . -

And putting aside for the present all inferior and trivial issues; we summon every honest man who hates fraud, every citizen who loves justice, every patriot who upholds the Constitution and the laws, to join with us in defeating at every ballot-bex ‘in the United States, with overwhelming ‘power, the audacious contrivers, the willing instruments, and ‘all. accomplices, abettors and defenders of the republican conspiracy of force and fraud. . .

. e — < E—— Fish on the Fraudulent Presidency. ‘Secretary of StaJe Fish, by far the ablest man in Grant’s Cabinet, some time ago addressed a letter to Gen. Dix, in which the following language was used: ;

“I hope and believe that the Commission as proposed will report fairly, and ‘without partisan bias, on 'the facts and the law. If it be otherwise, let it be against us rather than for us. We can afford to be defeated, but can not' afford to be in power with the suspicion of wrong upon our skirts or to secure the presidency with a . seriously questioned title to its right.

“Much as I should lament that the power of the Government. be entrusted. for four years to the democratic party, I should prefer, if either party is to succeed with the taint of wrong or of fraud in its acquisition of power, that it should be the party to which I am opposed, rather than that which I gupport. “If either candidate be placed in power with a reasonable, well-found-ed doubt as to his right to be there, his will be'no enviable position, and the days of his party’s supremacy will be numbered with those of his own occupancy of a position thus acquired.” o

WE have no inclination to give a detailed ;account of the final proceedings in the electoral count. The work was finished about 3 o’clock of Friday morning. About one hundred demo: cratic, Representatives manfully and gallantly sought to defeat the consummation of the great” wrong, but enough Democrats under the leadership of the notorious Fernando Wwood joined the. Republicans to make sure of the job. When Mr. Ferry made the formal 'anné)uncement that Hayes and Wheeler were duly elected President and Vice-President, some irreverent, indignant-cuss in the gallery cried out: “That’s 4 d—d lie.” The announcement of the completion of the count was greeted i{with moderate rejoicingamong the republican masses, while Democrats throughout the.land denounced it as a gross outrage. -

- BLAINE, Morton and 'the other bloody, shirt fellows may be jterribly in earnest in their oppositior to the Louisiana-Hayes bargain, but we would advise Democrats to be on the alert. May not all this bluster be-de-signed as aruse to withdraw public attention from the fraudulent presidency? . LL/

BLAINE, the noisy demagogue of Maine, tried hard to create a sensation in the Senate on Tuesday by denounecing the alleged bargain betwéen the Hayes administration and the Louisiana Conservatives. His talk indicated & good deal of bad feeling toward the new occupant of the White House.

Ir the Republicans are going to: have a general squabble over their own little disappointments, we trust our democratic statesmen and politicians will have the good sense to keep hands off. Let the Republicans have their “fun” all to themselves. .

THE regular session of the Indiana Legislature expired by limitation on Monday. An extra session, by agreement limited to six days, was immediately icalled by Gov. Williams, in order to complete unfinished business of importance. i

- The St. Louis Republican thus speaks of Hayes’ inaugural address: “The inaugural address of the present ocecupant of the executive chair awakens ‘more curiosity than interest. Reaching his high place by means utterly hostile to the spirit and purpose of popular government and utterly destructive to the fundamental prineciples of political morality, his opinions, whatever they may be, have none of that weight which would otherwise attach to them. The address may be considered an enlarged and revised edition of the letter of! acceptance, and like that document lacks the definiteness and decison which the public have a right to expect when great questions of great magnitude and vital impor‘tance are under discussion. This weakness is specially noticeable in the treatment of southern affdirs. The most careful reading fg?!s to - convey any clear idea of what is/'to be done in the two States toward which all eyes are turned, We are furnished a liberal quantity of pleasant £plat,ltude‘i; but not one plain, ?mpha ic declaration from which the future course of federal government may be inferred.” .

HAYESINAUGURATED.

He is Secretly Sworn In on Saj- = urday Evening,

And is Formally Inducted into ©fiice ! ; on Monday. : :

Though it was generally annéunced that R. B. Hlayes would take the oath of office on Sunday noon, his keepers at Washington seem to have deemed it best to have that ceremony performed on Saturday evening, “in order,” as we learn from republican sources, “to praclude technical objections from being raised in the future, should a controversy arise as to Hayes’ title to the presidential office.” The facts probably are, that the republican manipulators were "scated: into this hasty action by a. report, freely circulated at Washington, that President-elect Tilden had taken the oath of oflice and was on his way to the national capitol. The oath of office was formally administered and signed in the “red parlor” of the “White House,” in: presence of President Grant and his Cabinet. The ceremony was of the very quietest character, the only per‘sons (besides Grant and his Cabinet) present being. Chief Justice Waite, who administered the oath, and R. B. Hayes, who subseribed thereto. . The secret manner in which: the oath was administered, and the many lies told about it by the: “eminent functionaries” who were cognizant of the “swearing-in,” but who at the same time stated repeatedly that the oatli. would be administered on Sunday, gave rise to a great deal of unfavorable comment. ;

THE INAUGURATION CEREMONIES took place on Mouday, in front of the capitol. After the delivery of his inaugural address, Mr. Hayes returned to the executive mansion, escorted by military companies, civil organizations, bands of music, &e. Thousands of people witnessed the ceremonies; the darkies, especially, seemed to be deeply concerned in thaking the demonstration one of formidable idimensions. . :

.The torch-light procession in the evening is said to have been a great affair, fully 5,000 men were in line. The Avenue was brilliantly lighted from one end to the other, while archways of the Chinese lanterns, red lights, blue lights, and calcium lights at intervals, made a scene of very great brilliancy, while rockets, roman candles and cheers, fired off at intervals, added to the splendor of the occasion. el ’

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS

of Mr. Hayes is not a very long document, and his conclusions on several subjects are not very definite. In fact, at the very outset he says that he shall not undertake to lay down irrevocable principles or measures of administration, but prefers tq’ gﬁleak of the motives which should animate and control all true lovers of lepub]ican institutions. He proposes, so far as in him lies, to’ secure the permanent pacification of the country, by adopting principies and. measures which will result in the complete protection of all citizens in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Many of the calamitous results of war still ‘remain. The Southern' States do not enjoy the blessings of wise, honest and peaceful governments. The 1oc?1 government which recognizes the rights of all, black and white, rich and poor, is the only true self-government. It must be a government ‘which loyally and heartily submits to the laws of the Nation as well as the State. Before the attainment of this result all party. interests fade into insignificance. The revolution which elevated 4,000,000 slaves to an equality with their masters could not occur without presenting problems of the gravest interest to both classes, as well as to the generali government. 7The emhncipation act, which was originated by the general government, entails moral obligations upon the céntral power to protect the emancipated slaves. The: evils which affect the South can only be remedied by harmony and sympathy between the two races, and while every effort will. be used to protect the rights of all, the President is sincerely anxious ‘to secure good local governments to the South.. This reult, he thinks, can be accemplished by the surrender of party ties and prejudices of race and a general cooperation for mutual good. A great and important aid to this desired end is education, and he therefore. recommends that each .of the Southern State governments make liberal appropriations for schools.. e UL He touches on the question of civil: service reform in a more decided strain. He helieves in a return to the system of the early days of the republic, when the tenure of an officer was secure as long as he filled the duties of his office in an upright and compretent manner. Both political parties gave voice to this sentiment in their presidential platforms; it was indorsed by the people; and the prineiple will be adopted by the general government. S - The presidential term, he thinks, should be extended to six years, and a re-election forbidden. PR i e

The depression in trade, commerce and manufactures, which commenced in 1873, continues, but there are now cheering indications of returning prosperity. The uncertainty in business which accompanied an irredeemable paper -currency, and the consequent fluctuations in values; has been a great obsfacle to a return of good times. W specie basis is the only true foundation of true prosperity. -An early resumption of coin payments is not only a wise step, but is imperatively demanded by the people. - Mr. Hayes believes in the policy of non-interference with the affairs of foreign nations, and also indorses the policy of arbitration in cases of complications between the United States and other countries. - ; v

The closeness and the uncertainty of the recent presidential contest has been marked with great earnestness and excitement between the twq leading political parties, and for the first time in the history of the country it was deemed best that the matters in dispute should be referred to a tribuhal created for that purpose. The decision of that tribunal, from the high character (?) of its menbers, and the enlightenment of its deliberations, (bah!) is entitled to the highest respect-- (in a -horh.) Opinions, Mr. Hayes kindly condescents to observe, will vary as to the wisdom of ‘its conclusions, but -this is to be anticipated in all cases of the kind.. But the fact that the dispute was legally settled will be an occasion for general rejoicing among all good men, It was reserved for a government of.the people, iwhere the right of suffrage is universal, to give to the wdrld the first example in higtory of a great nation in the midst of a struggle of opposing parties for power, hushing its party tumults, yielding the issue of the contest to an gidgmenfr aceordm%[to' the forms of law, ; . Mr. Hayes concludes by invoking

the Divine gnidance, and calls on-all the officials and citizens of this country to aid him in an earnest effort to secure the blessings of a union depending not upon the constraint of force, but upon justice, peace, union, and the loving devotion of a free peopls.: o S ' THE NEW CABINET?. . Mr. Hayes’ Cabinet,, according to latest and most reliable reports, will consist of the following gentlemen: ‘Secretary of State—Wm. M. Evarts, of New York. ’ i Seeretary of the Treasury—John Sherman, of Ohio. o | _ Secretary of the Interior—Carl Schurz, of Missouri. o | Secretary of War—R. W. Thompson, of Indiana.

She was last fall taken to the Noble county infirmary, from 'which institution she escaped, during the extreme cold weather in the early part of the winter, and was nearly frozen to death before she found her way I)ztgk to this city, having.slept under a tree one or two of the coldest nights. She was subsequently sent to the Tnsane Asylum at Indianapolis, from which she gained: her freedom only to meet the most tragic death conceivable. e There were two immersions at the Baptist church on-Sunday evening. The Sunday-school connected with this church has'been improving considerably of lu_Le. Mrs. Bosworth, ‘with characteristic devotion, is offering areward for new accessions to her class (the infants,) and it looks as ' though she had too many already.

There is a rather strange and singularly fatal disease prevailing among children in this vicinity. The physicians here seem to have but little control of it, and a number of cases have already proved fatal. The symptoms are like those of a severe cold, and death sometimes ensues in a couple of hours. = Several ¢hildren have recently died at Lisbon of this disease. The winter term of our public schools closed last Friday. Therg wil} be- a vacation of one week, when the spring term will begin. We are sorry to' notice that there has been considerable dissatisfaction with the management of our schools of late, especially among the citizens of the north side. A number of pupils have been expelled during the last term, and some, the parents think, without sufficient cause. 'We hope peace and prosperity will reign supreme hereafter. Dissatisfaction generally arises from misunderstdndings, and to obviate these parents and guardians sho’d frequently visitr the schools and acquaint themselves with the system of government adopted by those in charge. Teachers are not infallible and may make mistakes, while, on the other hand, many pupils ‘are in the habit of exaggerating their little school afflictions, especially if they meet with sympathy at home. The Wayne township teachers’ in-| stitute met at the Longyear school house last Saturday. Some warm discussions arose among the pedagogues upon points where they could not all see alike, but they were all amicably settled and doubtless did good. There is a certain schogl teacher in the township who never attends the institutes, in consequence of which some are curious to know whether he will fare as well as the faithful when it comes to drawing pay for his services. o

| How Shall Hayes be Treated? As if he was merely tolerated. He shoyld’'be made to feel from the first day of his administration to the last that he is a fraudulent President, that he holds his office, lot by right, but by trickery and fraud. When a President is fairly elected ‘and enters the White House, the opposition, no matter how bitterly they may have assailed him, grant him the respect due his high office, and th® personal respect he deserves. He is not the President.of his party, but of the whole people; and as such it has always been the custom to treat him. Grant has forfeited the right to be so rq‘%;arded, and ‘as he has proved himsélf to be a man of tastes so low and associates so mean and scandalous that gentlemen may avoid his society ; but he is our first President who has brouglit discredit upon the office.

Hayes, however, will in right, be no President at all. He will get the place only because the electoral votes -of two:States were stolen and the will, .of the people was thus defeated. He ~will take possession of the White House by a framdulent lease, executed by the rascally Florida and Louisiana Returning ' Boards land sustained by the paeked Electoral Commission. - . Under such circumstances the people who believe in truth and honesty should let: him severely alone, keep ‘away from his inauguration, take no - part in his receptions, decline invita‘tions to his dinners, and always collflly* regard him when he appears in public. There is a certain formal intercourse. that Senators and Representatives must hold with the fraudulent Presi_dent, but there should be no other. -The protest against his occupancy 'should be quiet always, but unceasing. - It is a very serious matter, chedting: i the people of the United States, and | forcing them to accept a President 'whom they have not elected. The ' President so inaugurated should be made to feel this fact and the rebel-. “lion of the people against such an un‘paralleled wrong. and outrage. He should be made to feel it daily and hourly, that he is only tolerated, and is nothing more than a Fraudulent President.—New York Sun. :

Hayes’ Democratic Postmaster General. :

According to -the Congressional Directory, David McKendree Key, of Chattanooga, was born in Greene coun= ty, Tennessee, January 27, 1824; his family moved in’ 1826 into Monroe county, where he was raised on a farm, studying at the winter schools; entered Hiwassee College 1n 1845, and graduated in 1850; studied law, and was admitted to the bar, and .entered into practice in Chattanooga in 1852; wes a Presidential elector on the Buchanan and Breckinridge ticke§ “in 1856, and on the Breckinridge/ and ILane tigket in 1860; entered Lthe Confederate army in 1861, and served through the entire war as Lieutenant-Colonel of the FForty-third Tennesseeinfantry ; was a member of the State Constitutional Convention of Tennessée in 1870; was elected Chancellor of the Third Chancery District in 1870, and held the position until appointed to the United States Senate in 1875 as a Demoerat, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Andrew Johnson, Demeocrat, taking his seat Decembsr 6th, 1875.

: THE old-adag;, “What.is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander,” is thus knocked into a cocked hat by ‘Sam Bowles, of the Springfield (Mass.) Republican: S “Louisiana gave Tilden over 8,000 majority on mueh the heaviest vote ever polled; Oregon gave Hayes about 1,000 majority, Political burglars put up ajob tosteal the eight electoral votes from Tilden; a counter burglary of one layes vote was attempted in Oregon. The Electoral Commission decided that there was no way of re covering stolen goods in the Louisiana case; it has found a way of restoring the Qregon vote toits rightful Ownpn. y ; 5 5 B

Veederpbtgg is “all tore up” over ‘ an elopement in that place ilast week. A scamp by the name of Harvey Rabb deserted a faithful wife and several children and eloped with a married woman by the name of Mary Kinear, who also leaves several small children. e [ v “The ‘Lord cha,stépet-h whom |he loveth.” Judging by the amount! of ehastening the Democracy has had begtowed upon it, the love of the Lord for us must be strong and abiding. We. think we will try and worry along with the moiety of love that has here 4 tofore- been bestowed, if He will let up a little on the chastening process. —Columbus Democrat.: . The stockholders of the rotten bank gt Franklin find things in worse shape than they first believed. An'error of $44,000 in footing up the liabilities of the bank was made, which increases the total liabilities of the bank to not less than $215,000, and by the time akk the forged noies are assorted out they -will reach probably- $230,000. “Trror ‘in footing” is good. * I

Wednesday, a commotion was caused in the State House, at Indianapolis, by the rocking of one of the walls, which caused the plastering to rattle down on.the heads of the people. The law-makers assembled made a general stampede for the rotunda, but soon re-assembled and commenced grinding out laws. This is a powerful argument gor a new State: House.—Vincennes

The little village of Mt. Etna, Huntington county, was thrown into convulsions the otlier week by the arrest of two of her married malg citizens, charged with hugging and kissing two of M. Etna’s fairest daughters, both single—contrary to the wishes and desires of said young ladies. - One of the men plead guilty and paid his fine and costs, amounting to $lO, like a hero. The other one, like Beecher, proposes to make fight and will trust to the law, as interpreted by a generous jury, to bring him through. with untouched purse and untarnished reputationi— Wabash Courier, = - By the aid of good clothes, a smooth tongue and an abundance of cheek an ddroit rascal, representing himself to be a wealthy - Kentuckian, recently: played it pretty fine on the simple minded villagers of Roanoke, Huntington county. He came there pretending to be in search of experienced saw mill men whom he wished to take down into Kentucky and give thecontract of sawing up the timer on four sections of landa}]e owned in that land of blue grass and Bourbon whisky. The saw mill men bit at this bait, and Roanoke felt the importance of having such a distinguished character in its midst. |After the wealthy Kentuckian (?) had grown tired of eating free grub and drinking free whisky’ he suddenly decamped, leaving many duped Roanokers to mourn his absence.— Wabdash Cowurier. :

MoRrTON, CHANDLER & Co. are terribly incensed over the appointment of Carl Schurz to a position in Hayes’ Cabinet. They pronounce it a gross outrage, and are said to be fully determined upon defeating his confirmation in the Senate. Sailin, géntlemeu.
