KeIIOgg's Returning Board.

From the ourier-Jolrnal.
The returning Board of Louisiana,
upon whose work Hayes depends to carry
that State. has the power of adjudicsting
the returns and revising them as may
suit the members who are appointed by
Governor Kellogg. The Democrats car
ned Louisiana in 1872 by large major
ity. The Returning Board whose assum-
cd duty is in returning but Republican
votes, declared Kellogg elected by ma
jority of nearly 10000. In getting at this
lusjority the Board estimated 1t, having
no returns betoreit. In fact the members
boosted that they placed the figures at
what they "thought the majority ought
- be-" The action of the Board was
brought to the attention of a Senate In
vestIgsting Committee composed Of Re.
publcans, who decided that 1t could not

Snoring.

A correspondent calls upon the Pull
man sleeping company to stop snoring in
the cars, or provide some means by which
one man or woman shall not keep thirty
others awake There is some force in
this complaint, and yet 1t is difficult to de-
termine how to amend the time honored
institution of blowing the human bugle
in the still watches of the night. 1t is
the proud prerogstive of the American
citizen TO snore as much as he pieases;
provided he pays for the convenience in
which TO snore When he snores more
than pleases other people, then we are
brought face to face with the question of
divorce a menSa, ifnot of horo. The stu
alton is beset with difficulties; indeed, we
may say with constitutional difficulties.
The person or persons complaining can
not at all times appeal to the little war
bier BY shying boots or carpet sacks at
his nose. Such an act would be consid-
cred belligerent and uncalled for without
n previous introduction of the parties.
The music OF the spheres may also have
proceeded from llve y and lovely woman,
and no Christian gentleman could rea-
soaably be expected to sit up half the
night and shy boots and things at snore
behind curtain if it belonged to lady
He cannot even repair TO her curtain,
delegated by the other twenty-nine poor
travellers. for his foot might possibly
catch IN the carpet and he might be pre-.
clpitated as it were hesd-first into false
position, as happened to poor Mr.. Tilton.
No. The recourse against snoring-that
is to say, snoring within the bounds OF a
reasonably resonant melody-cannot be
determined unless, inQeei it be by con-
stitutlonal amendment after President
Tilden assumes office.

THETEMPER OF THE EPOCH.
Baltimore Gazette.


We have passed safely through the
stage Of partisan excitement over the ell
ection. The excitement now lies deeper
than the stir of the party antsgonisms.
1t has settled down into calm out IN
digant resolve that the neditated coup
d etat of GrsDtism shall not be accom-
plished. There are fifty thousand repub-
licsrs to-day who, if the election were
to be held again, would cast their votes
tor TildeE. There are many of the most
intelligent and influential of the repub-
licans who are thoroughly alarmed at
the threatened outrages on the states,
and who declare that those outrages shall
not be consummated. Among the most
outspoken and decided concentrations OF
the plot of counting Hayes In" are
those uttered by men who aweek ago
were the most enthusiastic supporsters OF
the republican ticket.
This is full OF PROMISE, for the future,
Under the debauching influences Of ma
tionial administration for the past eight
years the public mind had become apa-
theLic, hopeless, and bad lost its keen
sense OF the value OF honest government.
1t needed some bold and startling ini-
guilty like iEis threatened coup d etdt to
rouse it to sense of its danger. Now
that it has come. it has had its effect;
and the people once thoroughly aroused
to the need of abasing the naughty pre-
tensions of its public iunctionaries, and
of cleaning the machinery of government
now clogged with corruption, the good
work will 60 on. Fifty-four millions
otpeople are not easily moved.
1t takes time to get such q
great mass into motion. But
when they once get into motion
they are equally hard to stop. TIE large
impetus and momentum toward cleaDli-
ness and reform will not be checked for
q long time 1t will move with the re-
sistess force of glacier and grind into
pswder whatever stands in its way.
Thus all the currents of American
thought to-day act in favor of the work
t1at is before Samuel j. Tilden. He Is
the representative of reform; he Is the
representative OF antagonIsm to the dan
gerOas Capitalization of the last two
presidential terms; he is the representa-
t.ye Of higher grade of men for all
offices OF public trust. By character and
training ne is eminently fitted to do the
work that the country expects from him;
and he will do it with thoroughness
and comp. t.ness that will last.

Suppose that the election be thrown
into the House of Representatives. I'm
der the II h amendment of the constltu
ton, the House would choose the Pres
ident, the Senate the Vice-President.
The choice would be confined to the
parties named by the electoral college.
The House, which has an snti-Repub-
heap majority sufficiently large for the
purpose, would of course, elect TIlden.
The majority of the Senate is Repub-
lican, and would prefer to elect Wheeler,
but would 1t not be compelled to choose
HendrtckSf
Tildcn and Wheeler are residents of
New York.
The 18th amendment provides that
"the electors shall meet in their respect
i've states and vote by ballot for Pres
ident and Vice President, one of whon,
at least shall not be an inhabitant of the
same state roih themselves"
Would not congress, therefore, be com.
PEELED to choose President and Vice
President from ditfcrcn' states?
The Senate could not make its choice
first and thus torestal the action OF the
House, for the constitution provides that
the election failing by the usual means
"ths House of Representatives shall
choose immediately, by ballot, the Pres
dent"
The Senate would be restri cted in the
choice of vice president TO Wheeler and
Hendricks, for IF no person have a
majority, then from the two highest
numbers on the list the Senate shall
choose the vice president"
Suppose the house choose Tilden Pres
ident, tn ,senate Wheeler vice president
how are we TO get over the difficulty
about both these gentlemen being inhab.
itants of the same state?
The senate would have to give way.
1t would still be Tllden and Hen
bricks.

full days intervsnirg since Wednesday
last to have know that in any event
Congress has It in its power, BY the rsjsc.
ton of the Colorado State electors, TO
give effect to the popular demand for q |
change. Though Colorado has gone
through the preliminary formulas of-state
existence, there are some details depend
cot upon Congress without which the
vote of her electors cannot be counted IN
February. Should partlsanship proceed to
the length of counting the votes in Loulsl-
ana, Florida. and South Carolina in favor
of q repudiated system, the House still
has it in its power to end the contest
peaceably. The law providing for the
admission of states into the Union re-
quires, among other things, the adoption
of q constitution by the people OF the
territory, which shall be in conformity
with the laws of Congress and the Con-
stitution. The state constitution must
be ratified by Congress before the incl
pient state can assume its federal rela-
lions, namely, sending representatives to
Congress and casting its electoral vote
for President and Vice President.
Congress at its last session, however
stepped outside Of the reg ular order OF state
admissions, and authorized the admission
of Colorado by an enabling act. which
made the president the final judge Of the
constitutional requirements. On the
strength OF this the state offices have
been sworn in, but here some precedents
come in to render Colorado debatable
voter in the electoral college. For ex-
ample, Congress rejected all tie southern
states in 1856, even after President
johnson had accepted their state con-
situations. Until the house shall have
admitted its members, Colorado cannot
be considered fairly inside the Union,
and entitled 10 cast vote In the electoral
college.
Congress can, therefore, shut out this
ambitious common wealth if its constltu-
ton is not approved by two-thirds major
ity in both houses. That it will not be
approved in any event there are reasons
to believe. First, because the law Pro-
vides that the electors for President shall
all be selected on one and the same day
in all the States. This Colorado did not
do. Her electors were voted for in Octo-
Der, manifestly departure from the in
tent as we'll as the letter of the law. This
ground alone, it is claimed, is sufficient
tor the rejection of the electoral vote,
even if the constitution is found to be in
accordance with the requirements Of the
| federal constitution.

4 Curious English Lawsuit.

The "spectatof" of July Is says: "vice
Chancellor Sir r. Mains had on Monday to
decide curious case. H. Stuart Duneombe,
son of Mr.. Duncombe, solicitor of some
property, in 1868 appeared at his fathers
office and asked for assistance. His father.
who had dismissed him years before, refus.
ed it, and H. s. Duncombe, then in sixty. six,
has never since been heard of. The father
died in 1859, intestate, and the sons share
of his property would have been e24 1884
consols, but he was not to be found. The
court, therefore, was asked to decide wheth-
er his share belonged to his brother and sis.
ter, as his fathers next of kin, as it would
have done if he had died before his father,
or to bis own next of kin, as it would do ii
he had survived him. The Vice Chancellor
decided that, in the total absence of evi-
dence H. 8. Duncombe must be held to
have survived his father, to have lived seven
years since he was last seen, and to have
died intestate. Consequently, as his sister
had died within the seven years, only the
brother and brothers. son could enjoy the
property. That is singular instance of
the application or arbitrary yet sensible le-
gal rules Suppose H. s. Duncombe is alive,
or new claimant starts forward to person
ate him !'

ment on Wednesday. The principal poin'
in the case,was definition Of bribery. He
claimed that it was not wrong in criminal
sense for any officer to take present. But
he did not give verdict at all pleasing to
the Republican party, when he stated that
the impeached Secretary was only follow
ing the example of his chief, who gave
his appointments to men who made him
presents. Here is an argument defending
one Of Grants officers because he only i'm
itated his master in receiving bribes. Mr..
Black gave Grant terrible blow, and one
that will have its effect in blackening the
reputation Of the Republican party. Who
will have their doubts now as to how

No fairer offer could be made by man
under serious charge than that which
General NJ. c. Butler, who figured conspi-
ciously in the Hamburg, South Carolina,
riot, makes. He is charged with being the
leader in that disturbance, and his conduct
was very bitterly criticised by Governor
Chamberlain. He has published letter,in
which he accuses Governor Chamberlain,
of having grossly misrepresented the facts
surrounding the event, and challenges the
Governor to institute legal proceedings
against him at once, saying that he knows
his residence, and that United States soldiers
are not necessary to effect his arrest. He
further states that if legal investigation is
had, that he will undertake to answer per-
sonally for the death of every man, white
and black, who fell. The Sitting
Bull of the South, as the Republican
journals have termed General Butler,
could make no fairer offer to vindicate
himself than this. Governor Chamberlain
must have based his statement upon one
sided stories, or else acted as he did, solely
for mischevious purposes.

Profitable Printing.
From the N. Y. Sun.

Mr.. Clapp, the Congressional Printer
who has just been legislated out of office BY
Congress on account of the charges made
against him by an investigating committee
of the House, wants the President to "yin.
dicate" him by appointing him to the new
office of Government Printer, which has
just been created. The testimony taken by
| the House shows that Mr.. Clapp bought
over million dollars worth of material OF
one New York jobbiHg firm; that he never
| inquired whether they were selling to him
at manufacturers prices; and that as cen
sequence, they charged him nearly double
what the manufacturers would have done
For instance, they charged in one item 81, =
45O for gold leaf, for which they paid the
manufacturer 1870 G5; on one bill of calf
skin, amounting to 81, ,452. the same firm
realized profit Of 81, ,2G4. Mr.. Clapp tes-
tilted that he had $4,000 on hand, realized
from the sale of waste. which sum should
have been turned into the Treasury, but the
committee could only find SIG, ,257, the bal
ance being still unaccounted for. The cash
iers of three banks testified that Mr.. Clapp
was holder of bank stock and deposition
to the amount of $50, 900 to $4,000, while
his salary was but $4,000. He also owns
houses aud lots in Washington and Buffalo,
though poor when be went into office seven
years ago. The House charged him with
incompetency and administration, and
when they offered him chance to make
bis defence he refused, but called on the
Senate to protect him, as he was an officer
appointed by that body. The Senate was
evidently convinced of his unfltness for the
Office, for it agreed to legislate him out:
and understanding was had with the
House that new man should be appointed.
Now Mr.. Clapo asks the President to "vin-
dicate" him by giving him the new appoint
ment. Mr.. Clapp has made no effort what
ever to "vindicate" himself, but positively
declined attempting to do so when the COM

WORK COMMENCED,

Yesterday morning work was resumed
on the new basin. Spades and picks were
supplied. Hardly had the sound of whis.
ties, and the changing of bells, which an.
nounced the hour Of seven ceased, before
eighty-five men were hard at work. The
HERALD representative was on the ground
and ascertained as the reason a full
hundred were not present that the Eighth
ward would not send men because the rep.
resentatives from that ward claimed Ia
have no authority to do so. The Ninth
ward had only one present, and he was q
colored man. Later in the day the Eighth
ward sent five men and The Ninth ward
sent four, and up to late hour in the af.
ternoon the number had reached ninety.
four.
They will be employed as long as the
reservoir fund holds out, and after that the
work must discontinue, as we stated in
these columns yesterday. The effect Of
employing only few, as we had anticipa-
ted, has given dissatisfaction, which was
witnessed at the scene Of labor yesterday.
Numbers left sorely disappointed at not
being successful, and it will have repeti-
tion when another hundred are put on
next week. The hopes of the men have
been greatly raised, and we only wish that
they were not doomed to disappointment.
The full hundred Of the force now EN-.
ployed will no doubt be completed to-day.
