FRIDAY. DECEMBER %. 1so4.-
We ~ 40 morrEN TT nonoUEsda Us day, sinces the the
fntrodnct,on ~, h;,.-a the House, by Rep.
rcsentat5yc W;..,n, of Iowa, Chairman of the
.Judic1ary Con'mittec, to prevent States in
.insurrciion from participating in The election
of president and Vice President. We have
expressed the opinion heretofore, that such
bill ought to be passed before the two houses
meet, on the second "Wednesday in February,
to count the votes Of the electors. As the
case nov stands South Carolina may appear
on the day mentioned with full Y .te to be
cast for JEFF Davis, and there Is no way to
avoid counting IT, South Carolina may not
be there, although she Tor somebody 10. herr
-clainlcd the fight to place in the Baltimore
Convention. But there Til be votes offered
Just as devoid Of dcccncy as that Of South Car-
olina. The pretense that fair election has
been, or can be, held in Louisiana, or Tennes-
sec, is such a barcfnced untruth that those
who are striving to establish the dclusion in
Congress cannot help laughing. like Roman
augurs, tn each other's faces, Why then
should VIC cngraft the false assumption upon
our public records by counting these votes
and thus esta tlishing precedent from which
endless frauds arc sure to proceed2
Not many years ear ego We were TEN, IN the habit Of
dcmurrlnE to the system by which TWO men
In Louisiana were enabled to vote down three
men In Illinois in Presidential election. We
do mot consider It any improvement that one
man in Louisiana shall now be enabled to cast
as many votes as six men In Illinois, for that is
