A STRANGE BLUNDER.-The Louisville
Courier-Journal has a long editorial, in
which the decision of the Supreme Court Of
the United States as to the constitutionality
of the enforcement acts is represented to have
been exactly the reverse of what it was
not Intentionally, OF course, but by some
unaccountable blunder. That paper de-
clares the decision to have been
First. That the fifteenth amendment con-
fers no power on Congress to lcgislate in
any manner or at any election, State or
Federal, as respects white voters or voting.
| Second. That Congress is empowered by
that act to protect the negro from being dis
| franchsed on account OF race. color, or pre-
rious condition Of servitude; and,
Third. That the enforcement act OF May
| 81, 1870, not being confined to the second
ground, but assuming to cover the first also,
is altogether unconstitutional null and void
The decision, on the contrary; was that
the act was defective in not providing that
parties should be punished for preventing
persons from voting on account OF race,
color, or previous condition OF serritude.
II the act had been correctly drawn, and
the indictments had followed its wording,
persons could have been convicted and pun
ished for preventing either whites OF
blacks from yoting-if prevented because
they were white OF black. But the act
provided simply for Furnishing persons for
preventing other persons from voting with
out adding the words necessary to give the
Federal courts jurisdiction. The omitted
words are. son account OF race" or con
account Of COLOR" or g on account OF pre-
vious condition of servitude." 1t would
be as clearly an offence against the Consti-
tuition to prevent man from voting be-
cause he was Caucasian, as TO prevent him
from voting because lie was negro. But
the act OF Congress, we repeat. omits the
necessary words, and so is unconstitu-
tional.

ALL HAIL, MAssACHUsETTs.-In his speech
accepting the nomination for Congress, that
true representative Of Massachusetts de-
cency and Massachusetts gentlemen BEAST
BUTLER said
II pledge to you that what l can do shall be
done to take Massachusetts, principles, Mas
sachusetts ideas, and Massachusetts, civiliza-
ton and progress from the rear, where they
OF late have been tagging, again to the front
N the national Congress-"
II he shall be elected after making this
pledge, then he will be really what we have
just called him in derision-" true repre-
sentative Of Massachusetts, decency and
Massachusetts gentlemen" Let us await
the result. II Massachusetts, is not ashamed
OF the monster, we surely need not be. His
power to damage the South is gone. His
power to disgrace his State remains.

The result DC the prrad snttai election
ought not to have been hinged upon Tn,
diana. The true policy Oh ssles Dem crass
was to discount the octcber clesstonds "a IN
Ohio and Indiana, nonlinate an o,ltsail d-ons

the election on these issues by the aid Oh
New York, New Jersey, and Connections,

Governor HENDRICKS was put upon the
ticket, it became necessary that the Demo-
Gratis should carry Indiana in order to sue

progress OF the campaign in Indiana with

From the World.
In naming LuchlS Robinson the Con-
vcntion has pledged anew the faith OF
the Democracy OF New York to the COM
pletion Of the great work SO successfully
begun by Governor Tilden. This the coun-
try expected and asked, and this the Con-
venton has done. The accession OF moral
force thus acquired for our great cause all
Democrats will to-day rejofcingly feel, and
all Republicans will be compelled to ac-
knowledge it before the canvass is over.
From the Herad.I
1t NAV be asked what is gained by taking
such candidate il John Kelly was correct
in his speech at Saratoga two weeks ago,
when he maintained that the Liberal Re-
publicans had gone back to their old party,
and that nothing could be gained in catering
to their sentiments. The answer is that
NIr. Kelly in that Incorporate speech ig-
nored the German vote. Our German pop
ulation, both here and elsewhere, have
evinced a strong disposition to support Mr..
Tilden. They are numerous enough in
New York, and perhaps also i'll Ohio and
Indiana, to turn the scale against the
Republicans. Except on the old war
issues their sympathies are naturally
Democratic, especially on the liquor ques-
ton, the free-trade question, and the money
question, so far as they CAN be persuaded to
regard Tilden, and not Hendricks, as repre-
senting the Democratic party. The Ger
mans might revolt against an old copper
head Bourbon; but against candidate like
Mr.. Robinson, whe was strenuous sup
porter OF the war, they will have nothing
to say. The last hope OF the Democratic
party hangs on the possibility OF controlling
the German vote, and it was therefore eX-
pedient to nominate a candidate for Gov
ernor whose war record Is unassailable.
The nomination Of Robinson is victory
for Governor Tilden. Hewas the choice OF
the Governor, and is Democrat OF the pro-
nounced TiIden type. 1t would have been
bad party strategy to discredit or humlllate
the presidential candidate. To have nomi-
mated an anti-Tilden Democrat would have
seemed like Reputation OF the reform,
issue aud louting OF the pretensions OF
Mr.. Tilden as a reform candidate. This
would shaye been an infinitely greater mis-
| take than the preponde rance which has been
given to the Liberal Republicans in the COM
position OF the ticket. We incline to think
that tn Convention has done the best thing
possible under the circumstances, and that
| it's fortunate for the party that its leaders
