AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACT.

Our many readers in Washington Ter
ritory must bear in mind that their
Legislature at its last session passed an
unconstitutional act, in which the en-
deavor is made to disfranchise its own
constituents. Therefore we say to the
women of Washington, vote on. Sc
lucius Garfielde or any other candidate
will be glad TO have your votes. and if
the judges Of election refuse to receive
them, prosecute them for refusing to do
their duty.

pay and duties of the private secreta-
ry of the President, which offense is
aggravated by the establishment of a
military "ringn at the Executive Man
sion.
He violated, as boon to his own
son, the statute regulating the privi-
lege of leaves of absence of officers OF
the army.
He accepted lands, goods, and
money in consideration of appoint
ments to office, and aggravated the
abuse by habitually accepting all man.
ner of presents and fasors, to the
great scandal of the public service.
He violated conspicuously, in the
case of General Sickles, the law which
forbids the holding OF both civil and
military Office, by making that of.
ficer, without requiring him to re-
sign his military commission, dip
lomatic representatives.
He has illegally suspended the writ
ofhabeas corpus, thereby violating all
the laws on the statute. book, in fur.
therance of the civil supremacy, and
particularly the act of 1890, providing
punishment for obstructing the pro.
cess of the courts.

NO COMPARISON.

In urging the disbandonment OF
the Democratic party, an Eastern CO.
temporary says it is as bad off as was
the Wing party when it disbanded.
The Wing party at the last election
in which it figured, polled a little less
than million votes. while the Demo-
cratic party now numbers 2,700,000
voters-more white voters than any
other party that ever existed in the
United Statesl The Whig party had
been for several elections antecedent
to its disruption losing in numbers,
although the population of the coun-
try was vastly increasing; whereas,
the Democratic party, has increased
upon its previous vote at every cleo
tion (save that of 1856 since its or
ganization, and is to-day stronger than
ever before. Hence we fail to see
the comparison between the defunct
Wing party and the great Democrat
ic party of the day.

In the Illinois Legislature a bill
has been introduced providing that a
jury in civil cases may find verdict
by an affirmative vote of three-fourths
of the jurymen. There has been
manifested of late in various quarters,
a disposition to tinker the existing
jury system, which should not receive
encouragement. AS it stands it has
proved the most efectual means for
the promotion of justice ever devised
by man, and it is not probable that an
average Illinois Legislature would be
able to improve upon it. The justice
of decision which cannot be made
clear and apparent to body of u
disinteres ed men is open to doubt !;
and it is plain that in such cases either
clearer evidence or more intelligent
and impartial jurymen is what is re-
quired for the maintenance of the
rights of those who are led to seek
the arbitration of the law.
