In a letter to the Democrd Of last
week, Geo. w. Cobb, Esq. says the
extension of the Mineral Point r. r.
to the Wisconsin River is only
question OF time. He expresses q
strong preference to have the extern
tension made from Mineral Point
through DodSeville, and hopes that
the people Of these two places may
see it to their joint interest to unite
in aiding and encouraging the enter
prise. But, says Mr.. Cobb, should
Efforts to secure the extension most
desired fail, through the opposition
or Indifference OF the people most
interested, proposition may in the
the near future be made to extend
from Belmont northward to the
River, which it is generally admitted
is the most practicable route obtain
able.
We had hoped that during the
present summer something definite
might be arrived at concerning the
II. Il. extension, and if presented to
our people in the right shape it may
be yet. The people are beginning to
think about the matter and talk,
which is some encouragement.

LICENSE REvoKEp.-At special
meeting of the Council on Monday
evening, the license of Sebastian
Duppler, saloon keeper, was revoked.
The oilense inducing the action was
a violation of the ordinance reuuir-
ing saloons to be closed at IL o'clock
=. NJ. Mr.. Dnppler, it appears, one
night last week kept his saloon open
20 to 30 minutes beyond the time, OF
which complaint was made to the
Mayor. Duppler was arrested and
found guilty of the violation, but ex-
amining the ordinance violated, the
Mayor found that it provided no
penalty for its violation. Hence none
was assessed, but Mr.. Duppler re-
q"ested to pay the costs. This he
refused to do, and as consequence
of such refusal a special meeting of
the Council was called and his license
annulled. We are glad to see that
Mineral Point has council with n
stiff spinal column, and believe the
action Of Monday night will have
good effect on all tempted to disre-
gard the city laws and regulations.
The punishment put upon Mr. Dup
pier, however, will strike many as
unreasonably severe, especially when
it is considered that through their
own blunder in failing to attach a
penalty to the ordinance violated the
councilman areindirectly responsible
for the appearance of Duppler's case
before them. Had they been more
careful in framing the ordinance, tho
Mayor could and undoubtedly would
have punished Duppler for its viola
tion as severely as he deserved. That
Duppivr was oiscouupcvuy " .,.~-
Mayor, and acted unwisely in refus-
ing to pay the costs, which he was
not legally bound to pay, are facts
e.rtenuati,'g but not .justityiag the ac-
ton of the Council. "Two wrongs
don't make q right"

TEGc Precise Truth.


The Herald states with correctness
the situation in which President Til
den would he IT, in tie event Of an
irreconcilable disagreement about the
returns from the disputed States, he
would be declared President by the
House of Representatives without the
assent of the Senate:
"No president can exercise the
functions Of his office without the con,
sent of the Senate. The first act Of Al
new president Is to send 10 the Sen
a,c he namtS Of the men whom he
uIu,0ses as members of his Cabinet
None of them can Toe appointed with
out the advice and consent of the
Senate; ; and Senate whose ma iuitv
believes that man who sends nomi
nation. his EIvCr hccn elected Presi
d"ut, and has no legal title to the
office, will not even consider his APP
pointment>, much less confirm them
Nothing can be more absolutely GER
tlia than that neither force nor frc<s"
can make Il man President whose
Claims to the office are not recognized
by the Senate
This is perfectly correct, but it i.
equally the case That neither force
nor lincsSe can make Il man President
whose claims to the office are not re-
ccgrizod by the House of R@Prescn>
tativcs. Without that House, the
President cannot even yet lis salary,
nor can a dollar he taken from the
Treasury for any of the expenses Of
the Administration.
Oar system of government Is one of
balanced powers, hascd upon the co.
operation Of ali these part. and the
assent of the whole people. When
this balance and this cooperation arc
thoroughly destroyed, the end is not
far off.

THURSDAY. NOV'R %, 1876.

The political situation has not ma
terially changed since our last. The
returning board of South Carolina de-
clared that Hayes and Hampton had
carried that state. The Democrats
appealed TO theSupreme Court against
the decision. The Court was to decide
the question yesterday. The vote Is
being canvassed in Louisiana; but the
general impression is that the election
will be decided in favor Of Hayes, al
though there is bare possibility that
it may be given to Tilden on account of
ahetremendOus popular majority he re-
ceived, The Radical Governor of
Florida is throwing every obstacle in
the way Of a fair count in that State
shat re possibly can. The impression
IS gaining ground that Congress will
have to finally decide the matter. In
the meantime let us keep cool. Til>
den is certainly fairly elected.
