Louisiana can boast of at least one speci-

about the scarcest In that State John j.
Long, n Republican, was declared elected
Representative by Kellogg Returning Board
but, probably to the astonlshment of that
body, We wrote them letter declining to re.
ceive their certificate. He says that he is Il
Republican from principle but was clearly
defeated, and he will not submit TO having
the vote of the people overruled. He de-
clares that the election was fair, that there
was no intimidation, and he knows of no
fraud. II the Board acted honestly, he
thinks they were grossly deceived. Mr..
Long is deserving OF the respect not only OF
his constituents but of the whole people.
He has proved what many have doubted
that there is yet honesty in his party in
Louisiana. All honor to him for his manly
truthfulncss. His letter will not affect the
Board to any extent, and they will probably
give his certificate to some party hanger. on

Let the PeOplo Now Sneak.

The time has now arrived when people
who have desire for the perpetuation oil
our present form of government should take
sides, and by their protests against wrong
compel the men who are assiduousy engag
ed in undermining the foundations oi Ameri
can liberty, to desist from their treasonabl,
work. For reasons that eed not be spccif

ton, in the hope Il a. eventually the force OF
public opinion would so intimidate the con-
spirators that they would forego further AS.
sauIts upon constitutional liberty. But that
hope has been sadly disappointed. 1t has
been INDUCED in vain, and now the time la 5
arrived when it becomes the duty of ever,
man who is not wholly lost to patriotic feel
ing, and who really desires that the conntr,
shall be saved fi,n thN hapds Of the spoil =
n', To- take !'is ,,o,tion aai boldly declare
his -rnti!ueut,.
There are Imperative reasons why this
should be done, aud promptly The con.
splrators at Washington, encouraged by the
belief that having been permitted to go on
unrcsis,cd thus far, they will not in the fu-
ture be moieated, are preparing to consum.
mate the great wrong, the prtliminaries fer
which have been in preparation since the
Sth day Of November. 10 encourage tn EN-
further in that belief would be criminal,
They must be taught that they have reached
the length of their tethers that they have
tested popular forbearance to the fullest ex.
tent of endurance, and that now they must
call halt and pay some respect to the man
dates of the Constitution. They have taken
this forbearance of the people for submission
popular silence for acquiescence in their in
famous plots, and the absence of indiga ant
demonstrations throughout the country, for
apathy and indifference Oh the part of the
masses. Let them now be undeceived. Let
the people assemble themselves in public
e2tings, and not only protest against con-
summated wrongs, but imperatively demand
that those now in process of consummatou
by Grant and his fellow conspirators shall be
abandoned, and that law and justice shalt
prevail. There must be clear, outspoken
and determined opposition to every move OF
the Administration that has not the ful
sanction of law. Already the usurpations
of "the man on horseback at the other end
of the avenue" have shocked the sentiment
of the Nation, an" have alarmed all those
who are imbucd with a single spark OF pat
riotism. Not = moment should cbe lost.
Prompt and decisive action should be the
feature Of the hour. From every city, tow n
and village should go forth protests that wi
not be misunderstood and demands for 1t
maintenance of law that not even the stolid
man that stands at the head of the Cover
ment will be likely to misinterpret or dis1e-

The political cont0rtionS of this old ringster

SOME LAWS.


10 THE COLUMBIAN.
SIRs Coming to examine, few days
ago the law in relation to the pay OF County
Commissioners, found that almost every
county in the State had its own local regula-
ton upon the subject. From one dollar and
a half to five dollars believe it ranges and
there is no reason for the difference. Under
the new Constitution a general law on the
subject seems advisable and a settling of the
per diem pay at a sum not less than three
dollars. A sum less than that scarcely pays
the expenses /; and yet competent men are ex-
pected and required to give days aud weeks
of time, care, attention aud responsibility
to the public county business. call the at
tention Of the lawmakers to the subject.
At the same time another reform may as
we'll be had. The law creating Jury Com
missioners Is no longer valuable. Under
u representation in the Board of County
Commissioners in every county. A law re.
pea!iny the jury Commissioner act, and pro-
viding that tue wheel SHOULD be filled 10y the
County Commissioners in presence of the
Sheriff, and the Juries drawn in the same
way, would dispense with more than hum
dred officers, and subserve the ends of public
justice quite as eflectualy and satisfactorily
as the present method.
These are matters of Importance and con-
venience, and should have the attention of
the Legislature and such things are mostly
overlooked oy the great patriots who serve
us in the Halls at Harrisburg.

The eDtsrprsing firm of Chandler, Gamer
on d Co. radical maniputstors of elections,
have discovered new source of dread. AZ =
cording to these veracieus statesmen a secrt
circular has been discovered addressed to all
the commanders of the militia and armed
o. CARNATIONS Of the South, reciting that it
is the desire of the Democratic managers to
have an imposing military demonstration at
the time of the Inauguration of Tild and
elaesting the reeipien; of the circular to
notify the person sending it whether his
command can attend, how large it vii be,
and especially to give the IccJrl of the
officers, number, calibre, character and quail
ty of its rifles and fsld pieces A blank is
left for the signature of the perAoa sending
it.
It is an interesting story but when we
mention that the report appears IN the New
York Times, Of course al interest in it will
fall fiat. That delightful paper would travel
forty miles around the truth to get AT u lie,
and nothing enlanating from its Office is en-
titled to a particle ui tclief or respect, ex-
cept in the circles ileiuented by lack Chand

| fidence that the Electoral College Of Louisi-
ana,of the prcsent year, the appointment OF
whose members was certified by Gov. kel-
logg, was an unlawful body and its votes
void, because the Returning Board which in
fact appointed it, was itself an unlawful body
and plainly exceeded any jurisdiction which
could be claimed for it under the laws of the
State. That the action of that Board was
also fraudulent in purpose and in fact and
therefore invalid, appears reasonably certain
upon the evidence before us.
In South Carolina there was open defiance
Of the Court of highest resort in the State
by the Returning Board-an unlawful re-
turn of Electors chosen, while they were be-
fore the Court upon a rule to show cause
why they should not canvass the county in
connection with the precinct returns. 1t it
shall be shown in the investigation now in
progress, that the true returns. lawfully ex-
amred and certified, would have shown a
different result from that announced, the
conclusion of intended fraud by them as well
as unlawful conduct will be inevitable.
In Florida the question is upon the law
full powers of the Returning Board under the
laws of the State, as determined upon regu-
lar inquiry in its Courts, and upon The fair
or fraudulent purpose with which the re-
turns of election were manipulated by the
| Board. In this case also the pending nyes-
tigation will furnish to Congress ample
means for forming an intelligent and just
judgment.
Mrhe Constitution, rightly taken, vindicates
itself in this great emergency. IN requiring
the two Houses to canvass and counl the
electoral votes.it conpcls careful consdera-
ton of each case of dispute by representative
men of both the great parties of the country,
so that result when arrived at shall have n
sanction and command degree of respect
which could not otherwise be obtained. To
the Representatives OF the People and Of the
States it commits the duty OF seeing to it
that the Constitution and laws of the coun :
try shall on this occasion be impartially ex-
ecuted, that falsehood shall be purged from
electoral returns, that illegal, usurped au-
thority under pretended forms OF law shall
not tamper with:the votes of the people, ard
that no man by means OF fraud or force shall
he made to ascend to the high hest seat OF
power in the Government of the Unit ed
States.
Notwithstanding the strong party interests
involved in the issue, and the passions whic h
that issue is calculated to produce, we hav e
a right to expect an honorable and satisfac-
tory result from the lahors tf Congress. 1t
will be by conference between leading men,
conducted in spirit of concliation aud
guided by patriotic aims, that basis fer
true judgment will be reached. Then tech
nical niceties and extreme views will be put
aside or oyerruled, and justice, the practice
Of which is the salvation of States, will COM
pletely prevail.
