ELECTION RETURNS.

Only partial returns from the recent
elections in Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Texas, have come to hand up to date.
Ohio has done her duty bravely,
and probably swellted the Republican
majority she gave in 1868 to some
twenty or thirty thousand. Of course,
the Republican State ticket is elected
throughout, and the Legislature which
has been heretofore Democratic, will
give good Republican majority on
joint ballot. There is life in the old
Buckeye State yet!
Noble Pennsylvania has proved
herself to be sound in principle yet
by returning Republican majority
of perhaps fifteen thousand. Both
branches of the Legislature will be
Republican. The Democratic candi-
dates in Philadelphia were beaten by
majorities ranging from two to ten
thousand.
No returns that can be relied upon
have been received from Texas yet.
After the last days voting, before the
votes had been counted, the Demo-
Gratis claimed the State by an over
whelming majority, and it was gen.
orally conceded that Texas had
departed from the line of Republican
ism and progressive principles, but
later advices change all this, and
assert that the State has gone heavily
Republican. We can only hope for
the best, and await the official returns
Taken all in all, the results of these
elections have been very satisfactory
indeed, and have demonstrated that
the great Republican party of the
nation is rather gaining than losing
strength, and shows no signs of sue
cumbing to the non progressive
Democracy.
The breach in the Democratic party
caused by the New Departure plat
form, seems to be gradually widening,
and no one, to judge from present
indications, can reasonably doubt but
that the Republican party will carry
this country next year by majority
larger than has ever before been
given it.

The Meschacebe mildly suggests that
it would be more appropriate if the
Donaldsonville Chief would substitute
CIV in place of the &C" in SPELL
ing its name.-Repabgican Pioneer.
If our good friend Mortimer Smith
would only keep the columns of the
Pioneer under his own immediate
control, and not allow irresponsible
parties to insert malicious sneers at
his friends, we are confident that it
would enhance his interests greatly.

JUDGE EMERsoN's DECISION.

The decision rendered by Judge
Emerson in the case of Bovee Us. Her.
ron, suit to regain possession of the
Secretary of States office, and which
we publish on first page of this issue,
is series of logical conclusions and
deductions from statute laws that
must necessarily reflect great credit
upon the talent and legal information
of the able judge.
Especially clear does Judge Emer-
son demonstrate the power lodged in
the Chief Magistrate to suspend from
his functions any unfaithfnl officer,
and this part of his decision was all
important inasnuch as the relatOr
relied for success solely upon the sup
position that the Governor had ex-
ceeded his authority in suspending
constitutional functionary. The
counsel for relator tacitly admitted in
his argument that his client had I'M
dertaken to promulgate bill which
had not properly become a law, but
denied that the Governor had the
power to interfere with any act of the
Secretary's, even though that act
might be contrary to the laws of the
State.
Judge Emerson quotes from the
Constitution that all officers are
required to perform their duties until
their successors are qualified, "except
in cases of suspension or impeach
ment," and goes ON to say:
The power of suspension is thus
distinctly recognized as residing
somewhere, and when the law is
silent, who can exercise it, Clearly.
not the judiciary, and Legislature
adjourned is powerless. The excep-
tions stated in the article are in the
distinctive, so that one may exist
without the other. Consequently it
cannot refer to suspension following
impeachment, but to suspension as an
independent act; and since the con-
stitutien does not expressly confer the
right upon the Legislature, nor limit
its exercise to that body, it may, in
case of emergency, he exercised by the
chief magistrate.
Cananything be more evident? In
our opinion, the argument is so plain
as to admit of no refutation whatever.
We are sincerely glad that this ques-
ton has been mooted and that it has
been tried before so learned a func-
tionary as Judge Emerson, for if an
officer of the government could not
be mterfered with for performing
unlawful acts during an adjourn
ment of the Legislature, there is no
telling to what extent such misdeeds
might be carried, or what amount
of damage to the interests of the State
might be inflicted by yenal officials.

Charges Rented.

Under the above caption the Atfak-
apas Register publishes twelve of the
charges of official corruption made
against Governor Warnoth by the
disruptionist Journals of the State,
and says in regard to them:
Each and all of the above twelve
charges may be found on pages I52- =
155, of the journal of the House of Rep
resentatives, session of 1870 They
are part and parcel of thirty -four
charges presented by the famous and
corrupt Wickliffe to the House in Jan
uary, 1870, accompanied by the names
of more than a hundred witnesses.
Concerning these thirty -four allega-
tions of official misdeeds, the New Or
leans Republican says:
The charges We're referred to a
special committee, composed of four
Republicans and one Democrat. The
witnesses We're sent for and testified
before the committee. The testimony
was printed and laid before the House.
And, what is remarkable, every witness
who was placed on the stand was
brought there by the. prosecutor.
The Governor did not introduce one
in his defense. And the result of all
this was that the committee submitted
a report to the House, signed by every
member, which contained these words:
