AS the Senator to be elected by our
incoming Legislature, does not take his
seat until 1877 (the beginning of another
Congress- Morton's pretense for his reso-
lutions to investigate the recent election
is rather thin. 1t is for effect in the
Presidential election. When the time
comes for the new Senator to take his
seat, it is probable Morton will have
found out that the bloody shirt is not
winning card.

IS Out of Meat

Chicago Times.
Senator Bayard asked Morton, on yes
terday, where he found his constitutional
authority for investigating State cleo
ton which had not in any legal shape
come before Congress. The question
was scarcely worth the asking. Limits
of constitutional authority will not stop
the majority of the Senate in case of
this kind. A presidential election is at
hand, and the Republicans want outrages.
They can't well get along without them.
Like the boy at the wood-chuck hole,
who, when asked if he thought he would
get his game, responded "Thlnk by
Cd, | must have him; we're out of
meat" the party is little short of ap-
petlzlng outrages just now, and, consti-
tuition or no constitution, the Mississippi
woodchuck must supply them. They are
out of meat.
