The Pinkston Case.

We very much fear that our over-zeal-
Gus townsman, Maj Beardsley, who rep
resented the Republican party of Illinois
before the Louisiana returning board, and
who claims the credit Of getting up the
Pinkston case, will regret that he put in
that claim on his return from Louisiana, as
il new turus out by evidence before the
congressional committee that Eliza Pink
ston' s husband was Democrat, that he
was murdered by Republicans, and that
all the killing, burning ard Internal terror
ism on account of politics mad Democrats
for victims and Republicans for persecu-
tors. Appropo Of the Pinkston business,
Mr., Julian,of Indiana, one of the commit
rec before whom the woman first appeared,
said it was unfortunate that all her alleged
wounds were upon part of her person
which modesty forbid them to examine.

President Tilden,s Healtb.

FTOW NE 0pTtNgEe5u, MNSS RepN0Elcdn.
The solicitude of the Republican organs
about Gov. Tilden's health, and their fear
lest he is going crazy oyer the presidential
dispute, are certainly touching But it is
4 dreadful waste of sympathy,-the gov
ernor says he has not felt better for years,
and people who have recently seen him
find no difficulty in believing it. More
over, he says he does not want to and will
not be president on the Oregon vote, :
that there are good legal points in that
case that ought to be settled, but that he
has no wish to be elected by legal points or
techuicalities, as against the legal votes of
the people actually cast. There is good
moral health in these views. @

Men who regard the constitution Of the
United States as something more than a
mere piece of parchment, will find some
thing to conside in the following:
l. The state being entitled to elect, or
appoint. presidential electors, who are
chosen2-the three men receiving the
highest number of votes cast for those
who can legally be candidates 2-or the
2 highest? Manifestly the men who re-
ceive the highest vote and who are law
fully voted for. No others can be elected.
Votes cast for federal officer are no
votes, and cannot be counted, for the
reason that the constitution forbids his
election and he cannot legally be a candi-
date. Votes cast for Goldsmith Maid,
or any other animal, would be just as
much entitled to be counted A federal
officer can't be elected if every man in the
state votes for him. The constitution for
bids it.
2, If only two out of eligible men who
are candidates can be chosen, when the
state is entitled to 8, is there a vacancy 2
No, Because the place was never filled.
A vacancy can only be made by some man
who has legally been elected. His death,
resignation, removal from the state, or
failure to act would make a vacancy;
but there can be no vacancy if the Office has
never been filled. A failure to elect does
not make vacancy, because the place was
meyer filled. IN case Of a failure to elect
the state loses the vote, because the
people failed to fill the Office.
| 8, The legal point to be first decided
is this: Are votes cast for the moon or
for horse, or a COW, or cat to he
counted?-for votes cast for these are
just as much legal votes as votes cast for
man the constitution declares shall not
be elected. And if votes cast for man
the constitution declares shall not be
elected are not legal votes, then it would
seem reasonable that of the men who are
eligible and can legally be candidates the
three receiving the highest number Of
votes must be elected. IF only2 Of the
8 receiving the highest number of legally
cast votes are elected, then there is nc
vacancy which those who are elected can
| FIJI, for no man was ever elected to the
office and therefore there is no vacancy to
ill, because the people failed to elect any
body.
That's all there is of the Oregon case;
and on the decision of these questions
hangs the vote of Mr.. Cronin.

Abous "settlinr it,"

There is great deal Of shallow talk
going on 10 the newspapers about this
election business, which betrays funda-
mental ignorance of the principles on
which our government is founded.
Indeed, we know of one or two great news
papers in New York whose editors might,
with advantage, read the constitution of
the United States. and follow that with
some simple, elementary work on law.
These able paragraph writer's are al
ways seNing the occasion to declare that
something or other settles it" Some
Democrat whose heart is a little too
warm for the safety of his head, mutters
threatenings about war, and straightway
these youths rise up and say with one
voice, That settles it. The country viii
never allow party to gain control of the
country that threatens war upon it" Or,
if some such action is taken as that OF the
governor of Oregon, which these youths
think inconsistent with their slim notion of
the law, though it is the law in England
and in Indiana. and Gov. Grover declares
it the law in Oregon, they all. bounce up
again and say: THAT settles it. The
people win meyer allow the country to pass
under the control of party which resorts
to measures like that
May we venture to remind these able
paragraphlsts that the campaign is over?
1t is no longer question to whom the
country aoSU entrust the government; the
only question is, to whom has the country
entrusted it? The American people have
the higher duty to discover to whom
the votes cast al the recent election award
ed the victory. If that duty is not hon.
estly performed. and congress joins in the
conspiracy of the returning board to re-
verse the verdict of the ballot boxes, a
crime will Lave been committed from which
our good name as nation will suffer for
hundreds of years, and which will debauch
and demoralize our whole people for gen
erations to cone. And the man who does
bis best to make this result possible by
talking fippant nonsense about this thing
settling it, or that thing settling it, "
when the only thing that can settle it is an
honest count of the votes, commits crime
which he will live to repent, No matter
what may be the spirit in which either
party meets this crisis, the party which
has received an honest majority of the
electoral votes must be given the presi-
dency. The Democratic party has shown
no such spirit as is charged against them.
When it is remembered that an attempt
has been boldly begun to cheat them out
of this victory, their forbearanee and mod
Grafton are seen to entitle them to grand
place in our history. Let every citizen
show the same soberness and wisdom, aud
all will be WELL Let us meet this crisis
not only with a peaceful mind, but with
the dignity that the occasion demands.

INTERMITTENT FEVER Is so common ID
the country as scarcely to need comment.
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmatic
exhalatiops, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the grildstone by wearing a
respirator. The coal miner ere he descends
the shaft provides himself with safety
lamp to guard against fire damp! Now it
is equally necessary for those who are
brought in contact with any of the causes
leading 10 Intermittent fever, to provide
themselves with that we'll known and
highly esteemed remedy against it, the
HOME STOMACH BITTERs.

Republican newspapers don't like to
admit, without eqnivocation, that their
case is hopeless. but in a roundabout way
the confession is frequently made. The
Boston Advertiser says of Mr., Leverett
oaltonstall, who was present in Florida
when the returning board was lat work,
that his statement will have much
weight in this community where he is SO
we'll known and highly respected" And
Mr.. Saltonstall himself says: There is

fair minded man in the basely-ruled state
OF Florida that the state returned large
