Edltorlal Correspondence.
Wasmlvorox, D. C., Dec. 1011i, 1876. a
9W 'Gmm:—‘—_Thé 'loilg agony is at
length over. The- electoral votes of the
statethavebeen counted and the result is
known. That the electoral votes in the three
contested Southern States, ‘were returned for
Hayes, (as they were in all honest belief duly
cash) was a great relief to many earnest. Re— ~
publicans, who were fearful that there might
be a “sellout" among them, somewllc-i-c. It
is, moreover, a cause of gratification, as it is :
most highly complimentary to the. honor and
integrity of those members of the African
race, who1were on-their electoral boards that
the base attempts to purchase one of their
votesfor Tilden by offers of enormous sums
of money, was indignantly spurned.
The new “National organ of the Democra-
cy," the Union newspaper, just issued here
under the editorship of Montgomery lair,
in its issue of yesterday, says:~“'l‘he returns
from Sout‘.l Carolina, Louisiana and Florida,
will be given over to Hayes without contest,
inasmuch as the 'one vote required to elect
Tildenis furnished by Oregon." This con-,
cession is far in advance of the democratic:
mad-caps of the House, but is '81: heartily
accepted by our Republican leaders. It is
something gained, to have their ablest states.
men and clearest-headed lawyers concede our
legal right to receive and count these three
states without challenge. The democrats are
badly mixed and divided among themselves.
There have been at least three sets of can-
cusses the past week, of those representing
the various confi""ing opinions as to what is
safest and best for- them to do. The democ-
racy d the Househa’ve had theirs almost dair
ly, while private meetings have been held at
Speaker Randall's i'ooms, and at Senator
Thurman’s and Bayard's. Their most candid
' and able representative men in Congress arc
disposed to yield us the above states, while
only_apart have any. hope. or desire even
to fwrln'g. a ntzictor'y' for. their. candidate by
so open and flagrant: a 'fraud as that
attempted by Gov‘ernor Groverof Oregon.
It is perfectly welljnn‘dexfstobd here, that
the poor imin "sacrificed; ; himself _ in . abject
compliance‘totlledemands pci‘sOnally made
upon him by the Hon."(?) S. J. Tildcn. But
like the: culprit in court who provedjtoo
‘ much, theQrcgon conspirators overdid their
Work; ,Said. Senator-Bayard yesterday,.“if
my party-friends expect me to countenance
such an infamous attempt to steal a vote for
our candidate, they mistake. their man."
RepresentativoIicrd, of N.'Y., expresses the
same .det'erminaticn,-though- in less forcible
terms of indignationé ,_ ’-"- -»
.ASpea'k‘ér iRanéelli'fook a. snap judgment
and declaredithlt‘ffidf‘ijoint rule as still in
f orce, because, uh'd'eriitliat agreement, there
would be a ' clausevforhisj Democratic house
to. mix and muddle 'the' final vote counting,
in 1.1.19- Senate. in his assumption, the
Speaker was _' supported by: his party in the
House, and that body could havemo doubt
been held to selfistultification by so insisting.
But on Friday, in the Senate, after an un-
usually able debate, a vote was reached on
this issue, and on the yeas and nayes but
four Democratic members had the hardihood
to_ vote aye, even Sentor Eaton couldn't
stand it. This kick in the face, Mr. S aker
Randall andeeside him, Mr. Wants- 0-be-
I’resident- Tilden will not easily forgive their
Senatorial friends for. This is the most
damaging, and demoralizing blow the De-
mocth have yet experienced, and lawn-
elusive of the result to be attained on the
declaration of candidates the second “’ed-
uesday of February. . '
Our good .Ptepublican friends may cease
their anxious worry as to who will be our
next President, RUTHERFORD B. Haves has
received one hundred and eighty-five votes
and is elated, by all the forms ‘ of law and
m'llso he declared by the Vice-President.
But what about that Oregon vote 2 Will be
eagerly asked. We reply, just what would
be done with a voteput in the wrong box in
Connecticut,-- thrown out. No vote can be a
vote that is not cast according to the require-
mentsof law. Oregon's fraudulent dcmo-
cratic elector might just as well have at-
tempted to cast a vote for. Connecticut. If
sent here, as it doubtless will be, it will be
of no more legal effect than if it were cast'
into the waters of the Pacific. At all events,
so affirm the coolest and ablcst legal heads in
Congress. _ .

The Emotional» Vote; ' '
()ll “'cdnesdny last the Presidential! elect-
' and Wheeler‘and184 for' Tilden and Hend-
ricks. The uncommon anxiety of Mr. Til.
den to be. President, however, led to strange
complications. In Vermont, where the lie-
publicans made a clean sweep, a democratic
candidate for Elector appeared, claimed a
Republican Elector disqualified, ccitificd to
his own election, voted for Tilden, appointed
himself his own messenger, and started to
carry his vote to Washington, evidently ex-
pecting something handsome for electing his
candidate. Of course the whole thing was a
farce. In South Carolina‘an'd Louisiana, two
electors claim they were offered large bribes
to vote for Mr, Tilden. In Oregon, the dem-
ocratic Governor, apparently under instruc-
tions from New York, issued certificates for
two Republican Electors, and one for a Dem-
ocrat, claiming one Republican to be ineligi-
ble, giving all three certificates to the demo-
cmt, Pat. Cronin, and refusing any to the
Republicans. Cronin proceeded to fill “va-
cancies” witercmocrats not voted for who
ballottcd for Hayes whilst he cast. his vote
for Tildcn. The Ropublirazs filled the va-
cancy caused by the l'csigilation of the third
man, voted for Hayes, and sent on the certi-
tied vote by messenger, carrying out all forms
of law. “No man worthy the office of Pres-
ident" would allow himself to be so counted
in, but as yet Mr. TlldCILkCCpS silence, and
his friends thillk it a'smart trick. Thus the
uncertainty is to be continued two months
longer, and then there may be. more quib-
bling, more technicalities and more delay.
We have faith to believe, however, that in
the end, justice will prevail, and ,that the
will of the people as expressed by the right-
ful vote of the Electoral Colleges will be car-
ried out, and Messrs. Hayes and Wheeler be
peacefully inaugurated.

The old-fashioned college has not lost its

be helpful. The superiority of the average
college-bred man is as sure as mathematics.

that the. Gallery proper. The entrance to the

The'stage is filled with the mostinflam-
mable material imaginable. The “ flies” are

present skies or clouds or what may be
required, mounted on the lightest pine wood,
andftlie’fwwin'gs" and the “flats" are also
painted canvas, on_ the lightest possible
frames, and:it, must .be taken into account
that almost the entire space back of the cur-
._it is raised,~ls filled with scenery of different
plays, stacked up, which makes the “behind
the'scenes" of a theatre a magazine of com-
bustibles, almost as dangerous as a powder
house. The play.;was the “Two Orphans,"
and the scene was a boat-home. In this
scene there are not only the wings represent-
ing the sides. of 'a "house, blit the ceiling is
represented, which is also painted canvas.
The theatre was full with a delighted au-
dience; By somehccident one of the flies
was blown against a. gas jet, and one of the
employees attempted to cut it loose. It fell,
all in a blaze upon the ceiling of the scene
below, and in an instant that was in a blaze
The actors on the stage saw it, but hoped it
would be extinguished and went on with
their parts, but it had too much head way.
In a moment the painted canvas was on fire,
the affrighted audience rose, and a wild rush
at the doors commenced. All order was at
an end, the only thing ’for every one was to
get out of the hell that was raging. , The
people in the crowded gallery precipitated
themselves down : the tortuous passage, and
at the landing met the equally wild crowd
from the dress circle, and the two masses be-
came wedged in, so—that passage was im-
possible, and there was a dead-lock which
human strongth was impossible to break.
All this wasthe workcf a minute. In the
meantime, the stage was a lurid furnace, the
oil and the lightde of the wings and stage
sets belching out great yolumes of smoke'and
flame. filling the theatre—and to add to the
certainty of doom, the ceiling of the building
_was made of a sort‘of pasteboard, ‘which was
as combustible as the canvas, and the flames
ran along that like powder, making a furnace
right above the heads of those in the gallery.
And all this time the only'e'xit from the
dress circle and the gallery was blocked by
the two masses that had met at the landing
common to both, and escape was impossible.
The fire leaped from one. part _of the build-
ing to another,- the wooden seats caught and
blazed; the unfortunates wedged in and
helpless, fell, suffocated by the smoke and
roasted by the fire. The supports were
burned off, and finally the mass fell, with
probably three hundred and fifty burned men
and women in its terrible embrace.
The sight the next morning .was horrible
and sickening. Where the galleries fell,
hundredis of bodies burned and scarred beyond
identification, were found, and all through
the debris, cficrcrkwith burned timbers,
masses of bricks, and the fearful remains of
a confiagration, were bodies in every possible
form of disfiguration. There were pieces of
bodies, legs, arms, trunks—altogether the
most frightful sight probably ever witnessed
by human eyes. There were parents trying
to identify children,.frlcnds searching for the
remains of friends, brothers for brothers.
The whole city is in mourning, and a general
gloom overspreads it.
I saw the bodies at the Morgue, and where
there was enough left of one to show anv-
thing, it was noticable that they all died with
their hands before their faces, as if in effort
to ward off' the fate that was overtaking
them. A more ghastly sight—a more abso-
lute nightmare than the smoking ruins of the
theatre and the Morgue presented—human
eyes never rested upon.
The Tribune of Monday says:—Brooklyn
for two days has devoted herself to‘the inter-
ment and the honor of her dead. Many of
those‘who lost their lives in;Tuesday’s fire
were buried on Saturday and yesterday, and
on the former day the city, with a long and
imposing procession, bore to Greenwood the
remains of 100 unrecognized or fl iendless
victims of the calamity, and laid them in one
great grave. The wintry harshness of the
day interfered somewhat with the plans, but
did not prevent solemn and impressive obse-
quies. Yesterday three great meetings were
held to express the general grief for the lost
and the general sympathy for the bereaved
,survivors, and addresses were made by Mr.
Beecher, Dr. Inglis. D_r. Storrs, Dr. Duryea,
Dr. Cuylcr, and'otllers. Many sermons were
preached in this city and Brooklyn yesterday
on the theme of universal sorrow. The .fun-
eral of the two actors Murdoch and Bur-
roughs in the church of the Transfiguration
called out a large attendance of the theatrical
rofession. ~ Very: thorough investigations by
sthe Tribune haVe proved that 271' persons
{perished in the Brooklyn Theater, and have
verified every name of these; the bodies of
217 have been-identified.

Town and Borough elections,” th
the democratic party, and most particularly
that portion of it classed as the “Foreign and
thhollc vote." : , - ., a :1 v.
At .the October. election the democratic
party in caucus nominated John Carmody for
re-clcctlon to the office of Grand Juror.
That he was fully competent to fill the ofilce
was evident to-thc minds of those interested.
The day for voting came, the ballots were
counted, and it was found he fell fifty votes
behind his ticket. lonsidcrable "talk took
place among the countrymen of Mr. C. at
this indignity from a party that had ever rc-
ceivcd their firm support. Some meditated
vengeance on Presidential election day, but
in the main they concluded to wait the result
of the Borough election, and'sce if they were
again made the object of attack. ,The Bor-
ough election has taken place, the democratic
ticket is victorious with a slight exception,
and that 'uthcir nominee for “Fourth Bur-
gcss,” the representative of the “ Foreign
and Catholic vote," Patrick H. Dwyer hav-
ing been defeated, scratched by sixty demo-
cratic freemcn of his party. And why all
this scratching? “’ere the candidates not of
good character? This can't‘be, for they are
far in excess, in this respect, the superiors of
the average nominees of the party. Are they
not of sufficient ability to transact the duties
incumbent on a Grand J urorpor a member of
the Court of Burgesses? No, for they are
above the average of their political associa-
tes in nominations for those offices in point
of honest ability. And why is it the demo-
cratic party of Norwalk could not afford to
give two minor offices to representatives of
3,500 of the town population ? Can’t they
stand the horrible sight to see a representative
of one-third of their voters on the Town tick:
at or in a Beard of a dozen Borough officers?
The reason for this scratching of those can-
didates is simply and evidently because they
are of theracc that gave to America in her
infancy, in the dark hours of the Revolution,
such heroes as Montgomery, Sullivan, Wayne
and Barry, and because they are of the same‘
religious belief of Lafayette, Charles Carrol,
of Carrolton, and hosts of other lights who
nobly sacrificed their lives and fortunes that
we might enjoy the freedom they fought for.
Washington was not unmindful of the servi-
ces rendered by Catholics during the Revolu-
tion. In his reply to their address of con-
gratulation upon his election as President, he
says, “And I presume that your fellow citi-
zens will not forget the‘ patriotic‘ part which
you took in the accomplishment of their Rev-
olution and the- establishment of their gov-
ernment, or the important assistance which
they received from a nation in which the R0-
man Cathollc faith is professed." As for-
eigners and Catholics we have done our share
of duty to our country, thousands of our
race and creed sleep 'in southern soil, ever in
the front in the hottest of the battle they fell,
cowardice or disloyalty was never charged
against them, and the rebels knew by experi-
ence the force of their attack. Some of the
brlghtest names are ours, heroes of that sad,
bloodyand fratricidal strife, Sherldan,Shiclds,
Kilpatrick, Meaghcr, Corcoran, Mulligan,
Rosencrans and others scattered through the
country. Can it be we were too loyal to the
government? Or are we not to loyal to the
democratic party? Can’t the party realize
that ill the State of Connecticut there is
estimated to be from 15,000 to 20,000 voters
in the democratic ranks of the stripe of the
candidates they rejected as unworthy to hold
miner ofiiccs? It seems the party has had
power so long that they .begin to abuse it, so
the sooner they are cleaned out of the Bor-
ough the better. It is high time for the “ob-
jectionable element" to open their eyes to the
tricks of those smiling faced gentry who
meet us on election day, telling us to “ vote
straight,” “ vote straight z”‘bllh those seem-
ingly protective advisers who pretend to be
,such devoted admirers of everything Catho-
lie and foreign, turn around to their “native
voters,” tellingthem in a whisper for fear the
Almighty would beat: them, “scratch 'thc
Irishman’s name bllt don’t touch our kind.”
Thus it is our democratic friends have treat-
ed us, and solely on account of accident of
birth or religious belief. We could not be
as bad off inithe Republican ranks; if they
nominated a foreigner he would receive the
vote of the party to. a man. Can we any
longer act with such a party whose aim is to
use us for personal ends? Let us unite and
~~r —. I
when election day comes around select the
best nl'cu, irlespective of party, for our suf-
frages. _ ‘
In order to illustrate how much the mag
natcs of the Democratic par prcciatcs us,
the night of the Borough _ cus, as some
some of the Borough leaders were leaving the-
room, one who had tarried a. few moments
,behind, came rushing down stairs to his com-
panions on the sidewalk, asking them where
those thick-headed Micks were that was look-
ing for him. Could it be possible this old war
horse of the democracy ill Norwalk expected
to meet his father-in-lawamong them?
It has been said that ‘lrish democrats
scratched Messrs. Carmody and Dwyer.
Irishmen you know this to be an outrageous
falsehood and an insult to your race and man-
hood; mark well the men that make such
charges ;- allow no libelous statements of this
kind to bridge the matter over. We can’t in
honor act with those men whose existence as a
party we have been so largely instrumental
in maintaining. They have placed us on the
defensive and, we must accept the position.
By doing so we can ‘cxercisc our rights as
citizens independent of a party so rotten that
it can‘t endure its might arm without scratch-
ing it. ‘ “ Ax Ialsu Cx'ruouc Yorsu."

Bleeding at the Lungs.
Putnam, Conn., March 20, 1869.
Gentlemen—I avail myself of this opportunity to
say a word in behalf of DR. Wrsrna’s BALSAM or
\VIL‘D CHERRY. which I have made use of in my
family for several years. and always with the most
beneficial results. My wife being of delicate hab-
its, has always been troubled with a hard, dry,
hacking cough, whenever taking a little cold. and
has employed various specifics without obtaining
any relief. ilutll- prevailed upon to test the virtues
of \VlSTAll'S BALSAM. the effect of which has
been trulynstonishing.
More than a year smce, a young man belonging
in this place was taken with bleeding of the lungs
ill connection with a most severe cough. and was
tillully'givcn over to die by our best physicians.
and it. was evident to all that Consumption was
claiminghim as a victim. Learning these facts.
my who sent him a bottle of the BALSAII, which
he took. and, in due time. to the great astonish-
ment or his friends, was at his accustomed occu-
pation. snatched, as it were. t‘rom the ver jaws
ot'death. In many other cases we have a minis-
tered the BALSAII to tllc consumptive. and always
with the best of success. These statements are
. simple facts. which can be vouched for at any
time by calling on me at my store. Yours truly,
