Tho ballot, like tho trial by jury,
is regarded by some political philoso-
pliers as an end in itself, and not as u
means for securing justice, just as the
miser loves, not the uses Of cold, but
the gold itself. Hence tho fanatical
nonsense under the namo of "mau.
hood suffrage" under the inspiration
OF which the experiment of negro
suffrage was inauguratcl and i, now
boing tried, with what result the gen

proved very fattering success. IN

is regarded as tolc,nble. Which
proves to our minds that there is a
flaw somewhere or other in these alb

We cannot rcfuto tho radical reason.

but not with facts. Therefore, thore

premise may bo truc-it socms to US,
it must be,-that all men have oqnal
rights to claim perfect justico from Ill
other men in their dealings with
thom. Where, then, may be this
flaw in radical philosophy 1t seems
to u" probable, that it is just here,
that the ballot, means to tho end of
justice, IS exalted to the reverence
duo to justice itself, and due to justice
alone. Alas many, many other
things must exist as conditions of
Just government, besides the estab-
,'u' "t # \ free ballot. A FREQ
ballot, in itself considered, affords
little hope to tho philanthropist. A
free vote resulted once in tho choice
of "nct this man, but Barabbas,' and
"cruciticd the Lord of Gloly,' The
use of free ballot has only, thus far,
established "tho right Of tho people
to m'smanage their own business in
their own way" or blundering mis-
government "of the people by tho
people for tho people" A free bal
lot may bo the favorable condition for
the development Of the good forces of
society hitherto suppressed and barr

those forces themselves, and it is also
the condition Of tho active existence
Of somo Of tho very worst forces that
corrupt and ruin society. In connec.
tion with mere majority repre- en,a.
ton, it is tho fomentor Of rapid revo-
Luton and change, the parent Of in
security Of person, and of instability
of property. Will Americans check
their political fanatici>m, discuss the
difference between principles and
mistaken instrumentalties for en-.
bodying them in action, and give to
minorities share Of those political
rights, which they Loudly proclaim

Hartford, CT, May 3. The House was &C.

cussion of the resolutions giving the commit
tee on canvasses of the votes for Governor
and State Offices the power to send for per-
sons and papers, and to open the sealed bal

that there are errors in the returns. The

subject to Judiciary Committee and to the
Supreme Court. The amendments were
voted down, and the resolution passed, giving
the above permission, and also employing
them to sit during the recess and to hold ses-
sions at such places in the State as they shall
deem practicable.
Both Houses have adjourned until We'd
nesday, May 10th. Meanhile the committee
will examine into the alleged errors in New

votes for Governor. Ii no one has major

Wednesday by ballot, and if on ascertaining
the facts in the above places, it shall appear
that either of the candidates have any, that
candidate will be declared by the resolution
to be elected. The usual election parade will
