A Sua editoral says there id only one way to declare Haven elected president of tbe United States, and that is tbe way of fraud, surpaiiou and violence. It is now certain that the house of representatives represen-tatives will never consent to count nineteen pretended electoral votes in favor ol liiiyee which result from the frauds of the returning boards in South Carolina, Louisiana and Florida. Theee nineteen votes the house will not allow or tolerute, and will throw tbem out for the reason that they don't express the will of the people, but, only the wih of a dozen impostors at Columbia, New Orleans and Tallahassee; thai they are nothing but faLsehoed, forgery ana fraud. Yet without counting these fraudulent votes Hayes canuot ba declared elected. This programme cannot be executed by peacelul and regular means. The house of representatives ii a very great factor in the composition ol this government cannot be put aside by any more ruse, and it will never suffer the president ol the senate to usurp tne authority oi deciding upon the electoral certificates certifi-cates and creating a president by his own will unu pleasure. In order to ; realize this project tbe house ol ! representatives must be suppressed. This can only be done by force, and to thin end the troops are present in Washington. Grant has made no secret of his readiness to use them for such a purpose, but has rather taken care to publish it on every occasiou and iu various forms of phraseology. That he will do what lie threatens if those who control Irui give the signal, let to m;m doubt. Tho housd will never yield to the assumption assump-tion cl the president of the senate, that lie alone does the counting. It will never permit the votes of the three fraudulent states to be counted. It will never allow Hayes to be declared president upon those vote?, and the only wy to count those votes and declare him elected is to put dowu the house by bayonets. The whole issue finally narrows down to just this point, and it remains to be known whether the republicans will follow out to the end tho path on which they entered when they eet to wort to make their man president through the manipulation! of these returning boards. There is I perfect harmony between what they I have already done and what still remains undone. Military violence is the ualuial ally of political fraud aud ! we are bound to say that the attitude of the republican party towards this subject sub-ject and of its journals and politicians generally is such aa must encourage the conspirators to go on aud complete com-plete their work. Yet the suppression suppres-sion of the house of representatives by soldiers is so grave and pregnant an undertaking that only tools, or desperadoes can contemplate it calmly; yet otherwise it is not possible for Hayes to be declared president. |
