We fear that Mr.. Walker has again put his foot in
it in assuming to himself powers Governor of Kan
sas hardly in accordance with the intention of law
the spirit of his instructions His lengthy excusatory
apologize proclamation " to the people of Kansas"
referred to in last struck something out joint
We see that and the action it is intended to excuse
have been the of great excitement and bitter feel
ing in the Territory and if the Geographic correspond
ents from Washington City can be relied on, may, and
indeed must lead to his recall and the recall of bis
Friday to wit, Secretary Stanton.
1t is clearly the duty of the executive officer to give
his certificate to the person or persons who shall appear
from the returns to have the largest number of votes
1t is not his duty to go behind these reurns-that be-
longs to another tribunal 1t is the prerogative of all
Legislative bodies to judge of the qualifications of their
own members. The person who has the prin1n focla
evidence of election the person elected until something
to the contrary shown to the satisfaction of the proper
authority namely the body of which he has been elect
ed member.
This affair is not over yet, we fear, but is coming to
such focus will render the attempt to make Walker
ism test of Democratic orthodoxy, thing to be laugh
ed to scOrn.
