A PROMINENT Democratic Senator
III Washington makes the PROPOSE
lion to decide the question of the
Presidency by samo of chance.
Here is his plan which he intimates
he will advocate in the Senate:
He will propose that all questions as
the count of the elestoral vote be decided
by a committee of seven members from
each body, who shall be selected by lot.
For example, he suggests Thai all :he
names of the Senators on slips of paper
be paced in box, shaken up, and seven
drawn out by blindfoldcd page. A like
method to be used to appoint the House
Committee The two committees shall
meet in ioint session, and all questions be
decided by majority vote II The Hayes
men have the majority, Hayes of course
will be declared President; if the Tilden
men get tho majority, Tilden will be
counted In.
This would be n most excellent
plan for Tilden, for it would give
him q chance to secure an office to
which he has not been elected, but it
is not Erulahle that the Republicans
viii. submit the question OF the Pres
idency, already decided in favor of
Gov. Hayes, to the toss OF copper.

'TnE States has Spoken" not the
United States, or any one of them,
but the Southern States, full tledg-
ed newspaper organ of the BULLDOG
ing Democracy, published at Okalo-
ma, Miss, and here is its speech:
1t the President attempts the roe of
Caesar. there will rise up a man to play
the role of Brutus Mark that
We would rather see Grant make him
self Dictator than stultify ourselves by
rallying to the support of Hayes in order
to prevent it. Give US Tilden or free
fight. That is our ticket.
One thing is certain: If Congress fails
of its duty--if it allows Grant TO contn-
uc defying the public will-thc people
will take the matter into their own hands
and settle it in short, sharp and decisive
manner, that will blanch the face of every
dcspot in the world. The States has
spoken.
1t is a fact, no less remarkable
than amusing and ridiculous, that
there is a class of editors, peculiar to
the South, who really feel glow OF
pride aud satisfaction after having
gotten off such precious mess of
bombast, rs the above. They de-
light to thus "writc with martial
hand" and tannt their enemies with
the license of ink. They obey inn
plicitly the injunction Of Sir Toby
Belch. ''Let there be gall enough
in thy ink, though thou write with q
goose-pen." One can imagine the
swagger with which the editor of the
Southern States went out among the
Okalonians, after the above delivery,
and the halo of conscious greatness
with which he accepted their con
CALCULATIONS and their invitations to
take something. No doubt the tyr
ant, Grant, will be much disturbed
by this index OF public opinion in the
Okalona ncighborhood.

Colorado on condition that she
should vote the Dcmocratic ticket
While the Democratic organs were
reporting that she had gone Demo-

when they had to give up the elcc-

one of the Judges of the Supreme
Court of Iowa, and late one
of the Judges of the Alabama
Claims Commission, died at

Baldwin was a man of unquestiona-

his death leaves void among the

"riddling their worthless carcasses

the worst which has been charged

STILLsoN HUTCIHNS is the editor
of the st Louis Times. Said Hutch
ins occupied the same position on
the Dubuque Herald at the outbreak
of the rebellion and won for himself
unenviable notoriety as the most bla-
tent, foul-mouthed and contemplate
copperhead in this section Of Iowa.
He it was who, when President Lin
coin issued the first call for troops
after the attack upon Fort Sulnpter,
declared that "the old usurper and
his cabinet ought to be pitched into
the Potomac" His principal charac-
teristic, besides disloyalty of the
meanest sort, and a swash buckler
style of scurrilty, Of which the above
is fair specimen, was the most alb
ject personal cowardicc and poltroon-
cry. This was shown on more than
one occasion, when confronted by
loyal and patriotic men whom he had
lampooned in his paper for no other
cause than that they were Jealous in
unfolding the government in It's eff
forts to suppress Southern Democratic
treason. With this brief review Of
the personal characteristics Of this
present representative of the Nilsson
ri Democracy, we submit the follow
inc delectablc bit of bnncombc from
4 late number of his paper, the st.
Louis Times.
''In case such traitors to the Constitu-
tons, law and liberty, as Morton, Grant,
and Cameron, endeavor to defraud Mr..
Tiden out of the office TO which over four
millions of Democrats have appointed
him, Mr. Hutchins will endcavor to be Il
private in the front rank of the army that
will DO organized, is if by magic to put
him in"
Now we have summcrcd and Will
tered with the editor Of the Times
long before he became a journalist
and was permitted to intlict this sort
of Boabdllian bombast upon
long suffering public. We think we
know him thoroughly, and from that
knowledge we can fully appreciate
the above specimen of fapdoodle
at its true yalpe, In our opinion, if
its author ever is placed in such I,o-
sition as to be called upon to bear
arms when there is the slightest pcs
sibility of having his Own hide pune
turcd or abraded, he will find some
reason, to him conclusively impera-
tive, why he should evadc the sum
mons. His profession OF willingness
to be Ga private in the front ranks of
an army" is the best possible guaranty
thatsucharmy designed for no more
sanguinary service than the beating
of gongs and the firing Of rockets.
