.JUDGE WOODRUFFS DECISION.

For half q century, estate Rights have
been invoked by great party to cloak
gigantic villainy and screen CRIME from pun
ishment Slavery lived and fourished, re-
belled and perished, under the ggis of State
"Rights." A gainful monopoly OF the night
to transport passengers by rail across the soil
of New-Jersey or of Maryland haunts the
flag of Estate Rights" in our faces, and COM
pels us to be quiet while we are plundered.
Estate Rights" threw their mantle over the
frauds whereby Henry Clay was cheated out
of the Presidency and John r. Hoffman swim
died into the Governors chair of New York.
Always and everywhere, State Rights are IN
vOked to arrest progress, justify treason, and
sanctify fraud.
Judge Woodruf7s decision on Wednesday
sets a limit to these crimes against public
right and public good in the interest of local
abuse and wrong. 1t vindicates the right OF
the Nation to take care that its grand council
and center of authority shall not be corrupted
and debauched by local conspiracy and system
attic fraud. The Judges words were few but
weighty, and they cover the whole ground.
Congress has as clear and full a right to pre-
vent and punish fraud in the choice of
Representatives as in that of Delegates
OF Mayor of Washington. The power is
explicitly granted in the Federal Constitution;
it is necessary incident of the right Of the
whole People to be fairly and justly repre-
sented in the House which legislates in their
name and behalf there is no shadow of
doubt in the premises. A repeater at an cleo
ton for Members of Congress is prima tdcie a
criminal-a conspirator against the integrity OF
the Federal GOvernment-and Congress has
the same right to punish such repeater as ii
has to punish mail robber And fraudulently
registering in order to vote is identical in es-
sence and purpose with fraudulently voting
the law can perceive or make no difference
| between them.
! Such is the scope, such the effect, of Judge
Woodruff7s decision. 1t is emphatically ga ter
| "ror to evil-doers," and to them only. To every
| legal voter it is guaranty of his rights-a
bulwark against the villainy which would out
rage or nullify them. Cheating at elections
has received from Judge Woodruff blow from
which it will never wholly recover. Now let
Tweed and Oakley Hall arrest the Judge who
has laid the heavy hand of Federal authority
upon their repeaters if they dare!

SLAs B. BUTCHER, it is said, has damaged
his prospect of going to Congress from the
lid (Kings) District by his vigorous raid on
the awless whisky distlleries of Brooklyn.
Then let his prospect go, if it must, and let
the laws be fearlessly enforced. 1t is the tax
alone that makes distilling in Brooklyn profit
able abolish the Excise, and whisky would
no more be made in Brooklyn than in Yer
mont The law-breakng distillers would
never have thought of distilling in Brooklyn
had there been no tax on homemade liquors.
We should rejoice to chronicle Mr. butchers
election to Congress, but not at the cost of
having the laws violated and the revenue de-
frauded with impunity.

Tho GREAT meeting at the Cooper lnstituto
,o.. night was the fitting climax to stirring
.omnairn. and ought to presage an inspiring
victory. The reports in other columns
fairly set down the words that were
uttered but no reports can do JUS
tioe TO the intelligent enthusiasm and
the hearty determination to make fight
worthy of victory, even in this city, which
stirred the dense audience, and made the
meeting in this as in other regards the
most notable one held by any party
during the canvass. We appeal to Republicans
engaged in the active work of conducting this
canvass, to turn this enthusiasm and determi-
nation to account. Let us have the full force
of the party directed upon the common
enemy; let the registration be scru-
tinlzed, local feuds healed, tricks of col
onization and repeating prepared for,
and every voter brought out. So let us win
pure ballot-box, prove representative govern
ment not failure, unseat municipal thieves,
secure Congress that shall prove a steady
support to the Administration, and, with the
setting sun of Tuesday next, welcome Wood
ford and Victory!

c. c. NoRvELL of Staten Island is the Re-
publican candidate for Congress in the LIST
District, comprising the Counties of Rich
mond, Queens, and Suffolk. If the voters of
that district knew him as we do, they could
rot hesitate to support him. Mr.. Norvell is a
quiet, unambitious man, who never sought
office or notoriety, but who has made Finance
lifelong study, and could be useful in
Congress beyond most other men. If that
good time shall ever come wherein Office
seeks fit men more effectually than unfit men
seek office, the class which numbers Mr..
Norvell in its ranks will be more largely
represented in Congress than it has been.

About year ago tho people Of Chill and Peru

Of huge tidal wave, which was to devastate the
western coast of South America on specified day,
according to the prediction Of a German The
dreaded day, however, arrived, passed, and brought
the cOunsels of the prophet TO naught. We are re-
minded OF this by statements made in few jour
mails that some very foolish people have been alarm
ing themselves about another tidal wave which is
to visit own shores, according to an alleged
prediction of eminent a man as Prof. Agassiz.
The fears of these tmid souls altogether ground

ward has deersased 624 since the last United States
Census owing to numerous residences being turned TO
business purposes the families moving up town"
Over and again has THE TRIBUNE stated
the fact that the population of the downtown
Wards was steadily decreasing, while their
vote has been pushed up fifty per cent. more
than it was twenty to thirty years ago. The
World denied our premise, and stoutly insisted
that the With Ward, with the LIST, lVth, and
With, was steadily increasing its numbers
through the devotion of more and more struc-
lures to tenement lodgings. Now, it Is con-
strained to admit the truth.

We hope that the officials charged with
enforcing the National Election law will not
pclmit themselves 10 be deceived by the belief
into which the sauguine public seems drifting,
that Tammany intends TO consent TO peace
fll and honest election. We do not think
there will be any disturbance OF the peace-if
the Marshal and his assistants continue as
now to be ready to repress riot. We do not
belieye there will be so much repeating as in
mast years-if the officials generally are vigl-
LIANT. But let no man, officer or voter, trust
Tammany promises of any quiet and honesty
that are not enforced.

make Lindley Murray turn round in his coffin, and
Richard Grant White gnaSh his teeth in despair. He
enforces his criticism by remarking that We would
not say in opposite ." well-feeling" well

i'll is here used adjective, and not ad-
verb, and is opposed TO the adjective good" and
not to the adverb "welln We can only fall back on

Napoleon's defense OF the Empire with his
pen is quite as lame as with the sword. and
will gain for him no more respect When a
soldier after signal defeat, such as Napoleon
met with, sits down TO explain it and confines
himself to laying the blame upon everybody
but himself, the inference is not favorable.
His pamphlet, summarized in another column,
is simply weak and unnecessary e. @Jlanation

The Boston people who want the Public Library
opened on Sunday are still agitating the subject.
The Committee of the City Council have just re-
ported, that while majority of the members think
that the measure would be highly beneficial from
moral and educational point of view" there is still
doubt whether it would not be violation of the
statutes OF the Commonwealth IL is, therefore pro-
posed to ask permission Of the Great and General
Court so TO modify what are called the Sunday Laws
as to make the use of the Library upon that day an
innocent action, unyisitcd by fine and imprisonment
Considering that good many Of these Sunday Laws
are constantly violated with entire impunity this
caution OF the Committee is greatly TO be admired.

When people are getting up Festivals"
il is an excellent plan to count the cost. and
to be sure of selling tickets enough to defray
it. Our own unhappy jubilee affords case
in point. SO in Cincinnati, after the great
and glorious Sangertest, comes livelS run
about the expenses, and especially about
the building expenses. Mr.. huznitzky, the
architect, agreed to TO-. construct the temple of
fully to the committee Mr.. Kuznitzky, and
wants $2s,27l, pleading, at the same time,
that the building cost him $32 600. Why
it should be found totally impossible to put
up any sort of structure intended tor the
public use except at an advance OF from
$4,000 to 100000 upon its estimated e1-
pense, is one of the mystic les of architect1re.
If private buildings involved the same dn-'
iculty. there wonld be much less construs-
zion or great deal more insolvency.
