Il will be No easy task for one thoroughly
familiar with the history Of the case of
Morgan VS.. Kennard, just decided to see
the logical force Of the remarks Of the
majority Of the Senate committee upon
that point. The only point TO be settled
by this suit was whether Morgan or Ken
nard was entitled to hold the office of As
sociate Justice Of the Supreme Court" say
the committee. Very well. Bu. in az
irving at q correc; conclusion upon this
''only point many collateral issues had to
be disposed Of before the main question
could be reached The ''only point in
the celebrated bred Scott case MAS
whether the defendant. whose name has
been almost forgotten. was guilty Of assault
and battery in laying forcibla hands upon
bred Scott fo- the purpose of controlling
him as property. And yet the nine judges
of the Supreme Court Of the United States
thought it necessary to write in the aggre-
gate between two and three hundred
octave pages of opinion, in which the
single point occupied perhaps half
dozen lines. i was necessary, incoming

A Chicago politician deceived the saloon
voters into the belief that he was an enor-
nous drinker by pouring his glass half full
OF water, and then just coloring the water
With whisky. He found that this worked
ehArmingly as an electioneering dodge; but
the secret got out, and this is why all Chi
cage candidates for office now pour out the
water before the whisky. By this means
they can drink in creditable style with
about tive hundred voters a day.

ON RECORD.


The Times wishes to be put on record rs
prophet. Heart:
Weeks ago we forewarDed the rival Leg
tslstures that unless. through mutual con
eession, they made some amicable adjust
mens of their difficulties, Congress would
order a new election, and IN dong SO, de-
clare that neither the Kellogg nor the
McEnery government was the offspring of
legitimate repubhcaDism. This prediction
though laughed at by masters Of sophistrp
and political wiseacres in Our midst. is about
to be fulfilled to the very letter The new
election has become fixed prospective fact
and of cur dual governments, one "a de-
c'ared unauthorized. and the othe. %
"asurpation."
While we have no positive recollection
that the Times ever iorewarned US that
Congress would order a new election as an
alternative fox compromise, yet We viii
concede its present claim to the prophecy.
and lay the whole matter aside for a week
or ten days to see how it turns out.

THE POLITICAL PROSPECT,

Senator Morton's report. though n mi
nority one. is no doubt o correct indica-
ton of the feeling Of Congress IN the
Louisiana case. 1t Will. it is likely, con-
troll the action Of that body to the extent
Of postponing airy action this session.
The issues raised and discussed are too
momentous to be disposed OF, even by the
Senate. in the seven working DAYS that
now remain to this Congress. The House.
probably. would reject the bill presented
by the committee at any time by large
majority Of both political parties. We
therefore regard it as mex. to impossible
that there will be any congressional inter-
ference with the policy adopted by the
President.
We shall be left then in precisely the
same situation politically and legally that
we were in before our itinerant committee
of States Rights Fusionists went 10 Wash
ington to lay their complaints before Con-
gress. The whole machinery of the State
government will be continued in motion,
with the assured support of the President,
who will probably begin 60 think about
the fourth Of March that the political
saturnalia of our Fusionists has been kept
up long enough. If, however, the latter
quietly disband their pretended Legisla-
ture. and all hands. from McEnery down
to the least political aspirant, retire from
their present pursuit of delusion and en-
gage in some occupation that will pay
better, there will be no occasion for en-
ploying force. nor necessity for examining
the provisions of the Ku-Klux law to see
to whom they apply.
But as We informed all parties interested
some time ago. the Fusionists are hope
lessly attempting to obstruct great revo-
luton of ideas, an irresistible movement,
which is bound at last to overwhelm all
who stand in the way. And there is no
abatement OF momentum. no check in the
speed. Nor Will there be any so long as
there is any open or formidable opposi-
ton.

BY Adversely, brought face TO face with
peril, and assailed by doubts as to the
existence of human virtue and good
faith.
On one of the trips OF the Aspinwall
steamers the steerage passengers were
so numerous as TO make them uncom-
Portable. The sleeping Accommodations
we're aptly described by a Californian,
who approached the captain and said:

If you please" "Why, where have you
been sleeping these last two nights since
we left2" "Wa'Rl, I've been sleeping
atop OF a sick man, but he's got better
now and won't stand it any longer"
A singular coincidence recently
brought an offender to justice. About
two years ago a justice Of the peace at
New Orleans obtained possession fraud
aleutly Of considerable sum of money
and then disappeared. After travelling
about the country and spending all his
money, he arrived at Cincinnati aud en-.
listed under an assumed name in the
United States army. He was assigned
10 a regiment on duty at New Orleans,
and was thus sent back TO the scene Of
his crime. where he was Immediately
and arrested.
