or qualify the returns az the officers named
by law, and acting under oath. ID needs no ar
gument 10 show that the law is dead letter,
the forms for the preservation Of the purity of
elections cobwebs--and thai the Governor
and has Council would, in fact, possess sub
sfantialiy the whole power of returning MEM
bers from the State to the House Of Repre-
sentaiives Of the United States.
In the third place, il assumes al once that
the votes excluded for cause by the Clerks Of
Middiesex and Cumberland were unlawfully
excinded--thas they were legal votes, which
ougm 70 have been counted-and that, if
counted. they would have decided the MAORI

question, and deciding, ca passs and summsri-
~, all the points arising in the ease.
Hence. the conclusion seems inevitable
that the Governor and his Council coald not,
IN the circumstances in which they were
placed, have acted differently, nor have re-
fused to commission those for whom, accord
ing to the general list transmitted from all
the counties, the greatest number Of votes was
given.
Another conclusion seems equally inevita-
Bile, that the gentlemen thus commissioned
must be considered The members from New
Jersey until formal investigation by the
House OF Representatives, after il is legally
organized, shall determine otherwise. To that
House alone, according 10 the Constitution,
does 1t belong to Judge of the election re-
turns and qualifications Of its members y and

stoned under the great seal Of the State of
New Jersey, there exists no rightful power,
any where, to deny to them all the rights, pri-
vileges and immuniiies Of their station.
We have carefully abstained, in these re-
marks. from matter extraneous to the simple
question Of law and right involved in this dis
cussion, and have sought 10 place the subject
in the light in which an impartial looker-on
might be supposed to view it.
The commission to the New JERSEY MEM
bers is in all points legal. 1t is in strict con-
formty with the laws Of the State, and under
the great seal thereof, and cannot therefore be
met IN Hmine by objections to its form or reg
ularity. Moreover, the commission is to the
SIR members from the State, one of whom, by
all consent is elected without dispute but,
if the commission be disregarded at the out
set, even this one member, about whom there
is no question, cannot take his seat, which is
papable absurdty.-N. Y. American.

THE TWENTY-SIXTH CoNGRESS-THE
NEW JERSEY MEMBERS.

The laws Of New Jersey for regulating
elections, which were in force when the mem.
bers ofthe present Congress were chosen, dis.
tinclly point out the precise form, manner, and
time, in which returns from county clerks
shall be made to the Executive, and they as
distinctly point out and define, and therefore
limit, the authority of the Executive and his
Priyy Council in making up from these sepa-
rate returns the aggregate majorities, and re-
quire that to the six persons having the high
est number of all the votes legally returned to
the Executive a commission to represent the
State in the House of Representatives shall
be given under the great seal Of the State.
II is best, perhaps-for the case may be-
come of deep interest-to quote the very Ian
guage Of the law, passed in December, 1907.

plains the duties Of the inspectors of cleo

FRENCH LITERATURE.

Mr. Eugene A. Vail, resident in Paris, has
just sent from the press handsome octave
volume OF 244 pages in French, being veiw
of the Indians in North America, and com.
prising an elaborate defence Of our country
from the common imputations as to the fate OF
the aborigines.
Last winter the American literary world
was informed that M. quizot, who is in the
very first rank of French authors and states
men, had undertaken to edit French trans.
la,ion, in three volumes, Of Selections from
Mr. Sparks Collections Of Washington's
Writings No French author has so closely
and successfully studied English history, poll
tics, and language, as NJ. Guizot. His posi-
ton and labors as an author and politician,
with reference to the concerns Of France,
might seem to have been quite enough to alb
sorb any intellect and industry, but he has,
nevertheless, found time to pursue the editor
ship, and the whole work, it is probable,
will appear shortly, according to the original
design.
Three articles on Mr.. Prescott's admirable
History Of Ferdinand and Isabella have been
prepared for the Journal des Debats, by one
of its ablest contributors. The first will soon
be extant. M. do Beaumont's book on Ireland
has gone to third edition. Count Mole is

POETRY.
From tis Kniekerbocker.
LOVE UNREQUITED.

There is grief which all have known,
Who ever mourned friendship flown;
And few but once have shed the tear,
Bewailing loss OF token dear:
The urn OF sorrow marks the spot
Which speaks the widows lonely loi,
While Pity of is seen to shed
Her tribute at the orphans bed.
Hope hath he. sorrows, Joy her gloom;
Yet suffer each a gentle doom,
Compared with her whose lot must prove
The pang Of unrequited love
When after all that woman's art
Could do 10 curb that rebel heart;
With every plea OF maiden pride
Al length exhausted or defed;
She feels Ills idle 10 restrain
The throb which telis--she iopes in vain!
