From the Philadelphia Record
That President should be nominated
and change made in his colleague on the
ticket is by no means an anomaly. In
the present case the result is less remark
able from the fact that Mr.. Collax posi-.
lively declined, in printed letter some
time since, to be considered candidate
for reelection. But, independently OF
this fact, it is, as we havesaid, not un-
common to reconstruct ticket in this
way.
Thus, Jackson was nominated and
elected as President and Calhoun nomin-
ated and elected as Vice President in
1928; but in 1882 the Democratic Conven.
ton, which nominated jackson, did not
nominate Calhoun, selecting, instead, Mar.
tin Van Buren,, who was thought to add
strength to the ticket, and Jackson and
Van Buren, were elected. In 1886 Van
Buren, and Richard NJ. johnson were
nominated and elected, but in.1S40 the
Democratic party, in renominating Van
Buren,, made no nomination whatever for
Vice President. In 1860 Lincoln was
nominated and elected as President and
Hannibal Hamlin as Vice President, but
in 1864, when Lincoln was renominated
the convention rejected Hamlin, and set
IN nomination Andrew johnson for the
second place, and he, with Lincoln, was
elected. Finally, as we have just seen,
whereas in 1858 the successful ticket was
Grant and Colfax, yesterdays contest for
denomination has resulted in changing the
title to Grant and Wilson.
What the result OF this substitution is
likely to be 1t is Of course not within our
province, as bipartisan journal to dis.
cuss. We have only sought TO throw
some historic light on the precedents Of
this nature. We may perhaps add that
under the old practice, as Is we'll known,

terly opposed in policy. This actually
took place when John Adams was chosen
President, and Jefferson, who had few
votes less, as President, became Vice
President, although a rival of Adams.
Under the amended constitution, aided by
the system Of national nominating con-
vention this former liability Of dissension
was practically abolished.

work OF their mission by little pleasant
recreation. They have reversed the old
rule, to work first and play afterwara, and
have placed their lighter task at the head

they have been engaged in colloquies with
State officials, inquiring infinitely into all
the details of the State government and
party management. Doubtless, what the

culties between the State and federal Off
Gals, and to ascertain if any Of the latter
had made use of their official positions to

ends of faction. Nothing has been brought
to light that may be regarded as new. The
facts sworn to by Mr. Carr, Judge Dibble,

the people have discharged their duties~as
citizens is not subject for congressional
inquiry, unless some violatian of the ma

But it is different here with the servants of
the national government They are Sc
lected and paid to perform certain duties
pertaining to the offices to which they have
been appointed. But they are charged
with neglect of duty. Instead of serving
the government, they remit their labors to
deputies and sub-deputies and employ

ing strife in the great party to whose
success they owe their places. They have
so conducted themselves on two occasions
as TO seriously threaten the peace Of the
city, and demanded the calling out of
United States troops on one occasion, to
be used in possible contingency against
the delegates of political convention,
and on the other to fight the State militia
forces and the city police. The first de
mand was fully complied with, and the
shedding of blood avoided only by the
prudence and peaceable disposition Of the
delegates, who were, however, compelled
to 60 to another hall for the purpose of
transacting the business that had called
them together The last demand was sub
stantially refused, because probably Con-
gross was in session, and it was thought
impolitic to employ United States troops
to interfere with the organization of
State government But the wisdom that
prompted this forbearance originated in
Washington, not in New Orleans.
For these reasons, we hope that as soon
as the committee have sufficiently inter

the resolution under authority of which
they were appointed. We do not care how
many members of the Legislature, or State
officials, or citizens they interview; how
much private gossip they bring forward;
how many bank accounts they examine; or
how many bank checks they send for; but
we sincerely hope they will not let their
