avoid it. He Isl however, determined
that the principles of justice which have
been recognized as necessary by the
whole of Europe, shall be carried out in
Turkey under eficacious guarantees.
Suffrage in Spain.

The Cyclone in India.

One of the most memorable cal
antilles to be recorded in human
history will be found in the record
of the late disastrous cyclone in
India. The destruction OF Ponpeii
and Herculaneum, by the sudden
fury of Mount Vesuvius, when from
10000 to 10000 souls persisted, or
the ca, thquake Of Lisbon, Portugal,
when 10000 people were swallowed
up in crevassess or killed by falling
buildings, cannet compare with the
terrible visitation which recently
came upon few Islands in the East
Indies, and swept, as officially stated,
over one quarter of a million OF
human beings into eternity within
few hours.
This great disaster, which occurred
in Eastern Bengal, near the mouth
Of the Gauges, was caused not SO
much by the direct force of the
rotary wind-storm as by its action
upon the waters at the mouth of the
Ganges, which were driven by the
wind to rise and inundate the islands
and mainland OF tina. region. The
damage had been threatened many
times before, and preparations had
been made for such an emergency
by the construction of peculiar boats,
but so sudden was the storm and SO
heavy the rolling wall of waves,
when the great wind and food did
come, that all the measures of safety
became comparatively useless.
To make tbs awfu.uess of the
scene more profound, tho fatal cy-
clone came upon the people at the
dead Of midnight and almost without
a moments warning.
Satan is acknowledged as being
the prince of the power OF the air.
by the Bible, and it would so seem
to be, for il there is ever one thing
which seems not to be tempered with
mercy in this world, it is the vista
tons upon man of great wind
storms, whether in the straightfor-
ward dash of the breath-taking hur-
ricane, the pittiless twistiugs of the
whir!wind, the powerful and danger
Gus rotary motion of the cyclone, or
the freezing and razor-ike sweep Of
the Western "blizzard."-Ch Chicago

We say, from personal knowledge,

We say, from personal knowledge,
endorse the lrtion OF the Louisiana
Canvassing Hard, as disnified, open,
fair and honest, aud its conclusions
as the only opes it could arrive at,
under the laws of the State, it GER
tainly affords a good case; a case
that is entitled to the confidence Of
the people. These men do sustain
the final action of the Louisiana
Canvassing Board in givingthe vote
of that Stateto Hayes and Wheeler.
Certainly the claim to that vote, as
at present advised, is good. We are
not prepared to pronounce the per-
sons whose names are mentioned
above as sconndrels, who would
knowingly sanction fraud; hence we
are bound to believe the action in
accordance with law and right, and
that Hay es and Wheeler are entitled
to the vote Of that State.
This disposes of all the disputed
States, and gives Hayes and Wheeler
the election by lS5 votes, just the
required Number on the face OF the
legal returns.
The vote stands as follows, the
candidates .or Vice President receiv-
ing the same support as their re-
spective companions on the tickets !:

This is the situation on the face
of the returns that will go to the
President of the Senate. A little
authority as to the powers of the
President OF the Senate over these
returns, and we close. Hon. James
r. Doolittle four Jeems) who ought
to be good authority for the Demo-
Gratis, in the Senate in February,
1865, took occasion to declare as
follows:
"Now, Mr. President, what | main
tain under this provision OF the con-
stitution is, that after the votes have
been given, there is no power in
Congress, as a legislative body, 10
declare certain votes valid or invalid.
Congress is not the tribunal to which
it is referred; but the tribunal to
which it is referred is the President
of the Senate of the United States,
presiding over the joint convention
of both houses. | admit that the
President has in his hands the power
to count or not to count the votes.
r.
The conclusions that Mr.. Doolittle
arrived at in 1860, are sustained by
all the precedents, since the organi-
zation of the Government, as We I'M
derstand the matter.
This would seem to leave the stu
alton clear for Hayes and Wheeler;
and their Inauguration as President
and Vice President of the United
States, will take place in Washington
ou the 9TH of March, 1877.

is supposed, Of forcibly placing Til

ever the result of the counting of
the electoral votes in February NAV
be. This must be received with
some grains of allowance, but that
in their desperation they might at
tempt something Of the sort, were
there possibility Of success, is not
improbable. That we have Cen

Following the example of his namesake,
Mr.. Willard, Of Vermont, Mr.. Willari, of
Michigan, has introduced blu in the House
looking TO a radical reform In the civil ser
vice. His bill makes 1t misdemeanor for
any member of Congress to interfere In the
matter OF appointments and removals in the
executive departments unless requested to
do so by the President or the head of a de-
partment or bureau, and provides that when
advice is SO asked he shall give il In writing
with his reasons, among which there shall be
none based on personal or political grounds.
Experience has proved that members OF Gen.
gress as rule do not regard with extraordi-
nary favor any measure which proposes TO
deprive them of political patronage. II will
probably be urged against the bill in ques-
lion that 10 will have the eject TO virtually
place In the hands of the President and other
executive officers the entire matter of ap-
pointments and removals. IL il were GER
tain that these officers would Invariably
carry out the letter and spirit of such a law,
It's favorable consideration by the legisla-
tive branch Of the government would be less
doubtful.
