POWER OF ATTORNEY.

It has perhaps never before occurred III
the history of any State that candidates
for representative or official positions
abandoned the conduct of a canvass and
the veriication of its results to profess
sional attorneys. The REPUBLICAN has
before objected to this peculiar feature
that these conductors are professionally
required to take any advantage OF an
opponent by force of argument, weight OF
evidence and sleight Of technicality.
Hence, when We see gowned advocates
Directing to ''technicalities" and insisting
on the solid results of popular intentions,
we are inadvertently reminded OF a mud
dle-headed attorney, who, finding HIM
self non-suited for errors of pleading, made
this bold proposition to counsel on the
other side:
defy the gentleman on the other side, TO
strip the case at bar OF the law and the
pleadingskAnd go to trial on the broad prln-
cples Of NATURAL equity.
Really the arguments Of Messrs. Attor'
news Zacharie ct al. before the Returning
Board amount to this, if to anything:
1t is shallow pretense to say that such
infOrmalities will necessltate new election
| and thus place it in the power OF ofhce:s OF
election to forever defeat the will OF the
people, either Dy accidental or designed
omission of any of the many complicated
forms of procedure contained in the law.
Such an announcement from profess
sional attorneys is equivalent to acknowl-
edging non-suit.
About what is this dispute: The at
torneys say:
The duty of a returning officer is, in a
word, to give voice and effect to every vote
fairly cast by an intelligent view OF the
law, not to stife or suppress one, cave on
fraud duly certified according to Jaw. anu
duly proved according to its requirements:
never to increase the vote actually cast,
and never to subtract from it. save by the
rejection of such polls as are legally tainted
| with fraud. :
Is not this meaning plain? Who is to
determine whether vote has been ''fairly
cas,:'' Who is to determine upon ''the
rejection of such polls as are legally
tainted with fraud:" Is it club com.
mittee gazing through the window. or
should the advocates Of the one side or
the other supervise those supervisors and
tell them through an attorney what vote
is ''fair'' and what polls ''tainted:' We
show in another chapter what construction
has been put on the powers and duties Of
the Returning Board by the Fusion in
cumbents in 1872. It will refute the
attorneys utterly.

As we have no intention to impugn the i'm
partially of these exclusions, we quote no
further to show the character of the Repre-
sentatives excluded When, however, the
exclusion is expressly made on the ground
that the vote could not affect the State
ticket, ii is difficult to explain why the
election of Representatives should have
been disregarded when that result would
have been important alike to the local
constituents and to the whole State.
We respectfully refer the Returning
Board to the record in this whole invest;-
cation. It will be found that the repre-
sentatives of the very party which now
demands non-action on the part Of the
Returning Board were the very men who
exercised the largest discretion.
What we now ask is that the Returning
Board will do those acts which are re-
quired by the laws Of 1870 and 1872, and
merely follow in the footsteps of their Fu-
sion predecessors. Let US follow the
record, or publish to the world that we
have one class of men who may construe
the laws not merely for themselves, but
may prescribe different construction to
their opponents.

THE WHITE LEAGUE EUREKA.

Some of the selt-constituted leaders of
White Leaguedom have hi: upon happy
plan to solve the presen: political Diff
Guilty. They have arrived at the conf
Portable stage Of reposing full faith and
credit in their own Inventions: have COM
piled figures in regard to the election
from any and every source, provided they
were favorable. and read them over and
added them up SO often that they have
grown to believe them to be realities.
Like the man WHO told the story SO often
that he at las: came tc believe it himself.
they have deceived themselves with the
statements which were concocted to de.
ce;ve the people. The plot being thus
ripenei by time. il is proposed that the
Democratic Contra! Committee proclaim
and publish these figures officially,
and issue commissions in accordance
with them. We have no objection
to the proposed a:temp: to supersede the
legal Returning Board by setting up
another having no color Of authority, but
must refer the gentlemen interested to a
precedent. In 1872 the legal board had
few OF no returns except those received
from the Republican supervisors. while
the gentlemen who counted VIVA: passed
for the legal returns had no official
status. Upon this being known in the
United States Senate, Mr.. Carpenter
! made this point. which the Fusionists de.
lighted sor a long time 70 quote:
The Fusion board had the lawful retnrns,
but lacked the legal capacity to count
them. while the Lynch board had the
proper capacity. but no returns before
them.
Hence it was claimed that no result had
been legally proclaimed, and tie remedy
of new election was proposed. but re.
iected by the Senate. II the want Of
legal capacity was deemed fata! defect
by Mr.. Carpenter and his Fusion clients
two years ago, even though the legality Of
the returns was conceded. wha: would be
the verdict in case where both the Re.
turns and the canyassers are bogus !:
Probably the members o: Congress would
have some difficulty il even Democratic
House in being recognized. and a Legis-
lature based upon such usurpation be
found incompetent: to do anything. Yet
if the White LeagUers wish to adopt the
idea as their Eureka, let them go on
with il.
