| Mr. Deubler was a soldier under the first

Gszy=TEE outrage committed by the Demo
cratic Return Judges of Franklin and Cum
herland counties, in refusing certificate of
election to Senator Weakley, has miserably
failed Of its purpose. An application was
made by Mr.. Weaklcy to the Supreme Court
sitting at Pittsburg, for a mandamus TO COM
pei the recreant Judges to perform their
duty, and the necessary order was at once is
sued by Chef-J Justice Thompson. The fol-
lowing day Ii g. Skies, the Return Judge
representing Franklin county, signed and
published certificate stating that Weakley
had been duly elected Senator by majority
of S03 votes. From the statements in the
local papers there appears to be no doubt
that the Return Judges acted in accordance
with instructions from the Democratic mana
gers in Harrisburg and Philadelphia, who
thus attempted to defeat the will of the peo-
pie and to treat the election as if it had not
been held. The course of the party leader.
in this matter is not calculated to strengthen
them in the two counties whose people they
thus sought to defraud.

certificate of election to j NJ Weak!cy
who was chosen to the State Senate by IA
majority Of no less than 803 votes, on the
ground that his election was secured by

every appearance of being part OF con

Gratis have the Speaker, who holds over

years past, presidcs urti! new Speaker
is elected.
Of course, if Mr. Weakley can be ex
cluded, it leaves the Senate tied. The

the return judges pretend to justify their
action, will be seen FROM the following
