Last Tuesday, Thad. Stevens called up
his coniiscation bill, which was introduced
in the House March 1lih, by special
leave, and attempted to make a speech in
it's favor. Ills health was insufficient for
the task, and the clerk of the House was
obliged TO read his manuscript. 1t was a
bitter. radical speech, full Of nvective
and powerful in its denunciatlon of rebels
After the reading OF the speech was con-
cluded, Mr.. Stevens moved that the bill
he postFaaed till the second Tuesday of
December. Neither DC nor any body else
expects IT will be passed or perhaps wishes
it, but the justice of the proCisl0n of the
bill cannot fail Of being seea a; once.
Mr. Stevens probably desires TO intimate
to the South what, in the opinion of loyal

inflicted upon those WHO did their utmost

they are now GENEROUSLY demanding as q
right, participation in its administration.

COLORADO CONTESTED ELECTION CASE.
1t will be remembered that the Color.
orado election occurred during the famous
session of the johnson Philadelphia Con-
venllon, last summer and that Governor
Cummings telegra pied TO that Convention
that the Conservative candidate, A. G..
Hunt, was elected, and that the announce
ment was received with noisy IN n.tra
tions of rejoicing by the Convention. 1t
WAS afterwards asserted that Ge,rse NJ
Chilcoit, Republican,. was the successful
candidate, thougI! Governor Cummings
gave to Hunt certificate of election.
The case is now before Congress. The
Committee of Elections reported last week
as to the 'ilr:md factc' right to the scat,
the majority holding the opinion that
neither candidate Was entitled lo7mu jiicie
to "A scat as te'cgatc pen1ing the con-
sidcra,ion of the case ON its merits and
The minority, among whom is Hon. Luke
l.. Poland Of Vermont, favored a. G.
Hunt, Esq.
In this preliminary examination Of Tie
case it appears that the vote stood for
George NJ. Chllcott, 1923, for a. c.
Hunt, 3i2l, and 4G scattering. Tie
votes were canvassed by Frank Hal,
Secretary of the Territory and Richard
+. White EFT, auditor of the Territory,
and also the Ircasurcr-,he two former
claiming the election of Chi!cott and the
latter Of Hunt. Governor Cummings
overridcs the decision of these legally con
stituteJ canyasscrs and issues certificate
of election to the candidate of his own
choice. The election laws of the Terri
tory provide that the canvass shall be done
in the presence of the Governor and that
the Governor shall give the certificate in
accordance with the result OF the canvass.
The certificate to Hunt was therefore is.
sued in violation of the laws of the Ter.
ritory and Hunt IS no more entitled to n
seat us delegate from the Territory of
Colorado than any workman from the
mines. And yet it is cutting red tape
pretty short TO refuse Hunt the seat
during the formal examination of the
case, and we are pleased TO see this disrc-
gard of Formally in favor of justice. On
report of the committee in the lIousc a
motion was made and carried giving
Chilcott the seat. The formal investiga.
ton will not probably change the present
status, and Hunt may now 80 home and
wait for something else TO turn up.
