THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

There Is no material change In the ait.
ustion as reported BY telegraph from the
three States the Rsturnings Board are
trying to steal.
In Florida, the Board met yesterday,
adopted rules for its government, agreed
! TO admit TO its sessions both candidates
for Governor, and Q Committee OF both
'ocs! and foreign politicians from each
party, and adjourned until 10 o'clock to-
day.
In South Carolina there is intense Ga
citement over GRANTS order that troops

number of gentlemen, both residents and

OF CHAMBERLAIN for him TO use in the

whom the people have elected as their
Governor. A petition has also been for
warded to Chief Justice WAITE, asking
him to sit in the United States Court on
Wednesday, when the habsas corpus case
will come up on behalf of the imprisoned
Returning Board.
The Louisiana Board csnvassed no
votes yesterday, but after making an
arbitrary ruling intended TO place the
Democrats at great disadvantage in the
presentation of their protest and proofs,
adjourned until to-day.
The public Indignation at the behavior
Of this Board is growing deeper and
more pronounced every hour. 1t is re-
ported that Senator SHERMAN has be-
come so disguSted at its rascsiitics that
he has telegrsphed HAYES advising him
to al once step down and out and wash
his hands of the intsmy. and that HAYES

THE CONTRAST.

In the year 1900, when the contest for
the Presidency between THOMAS JEf-
PERSON and AARON BURR was close and
intensely exciting, BkSJAMIN OGLE was
Governor of Maryland. He was an ar
INGToS, and distinguished for his integ-
rity and nice sense OF justice. AT that
time the Presidential electors in Mary
land were chosen by the Legislature.
The Federalists throughout the country
were SO anxious To defeat Mr.. JEFFERSON
as TO urge Governor OGLE to convene, in
December, 1900, the old Legislature of
MARYLAND, which had q Federallst ma
iority, to enable it to appoint electors OF
the same party. The new Legislature,
then recently elected, to convene in Jsnu-
sry. 1901, had Republican msjorlty. AL
though such course would have been
strictly legal, Governor OGLE had too
much respect for the recently expressed
will of the people of Mary land 10 adopt
il He held the decision of the Pres
dental election in his own hand. lie
MIGHT have made CHARLES CoTEswoRTH
P1sCssEY, of South Carolina. (soldier.
statesman, patriot Of the Revolution
President of the United States, but
be refused. The appeal OF CHARLES
CARROLL, ALEX. HAMILTON, ROBERT &
HARPER, and other distinguished FEEDER
s!ists, were in vain. When the Mary
land legislature of 1901 assembled, 1t sp-
pointed Republican electors, who gave
their vote to Mr.. JEFFERSON, and thus
contributed TO the overthrow of the
Federal psrty to which Governor OGLE
was devotedly attached.
JAMES A. BAYARD, of Delaware, also
Federslist, cast the vote OF that State Tor
MIR, JEFFERSON in the House when the
contes, was narrowed down 10 JEFFER-
SON and BURR. A few days af:erwsrd
February Is, 1901 he was nominated
bv JOHN ADAMS and confirmed IS Min
ister TO France. When Mr.. JEFFERSON
came in on the 4th of March he inform.
cd MIR. BAYARD that he would make 10
sppointment to France if ne would &C
cent the mission; but Mr.. BAIARD, a
honorable and as sensitive as Governor
Ocrr declined and sent in bis resigns
ton. He shrank from the idea OF being
r,,ror4eS for his vote for JEFFERSON.
Such was the manner in which good
and great men bore themselves at the
beginning of this century, in a perloi
of unparalleled excitement; when even
homes, old TIMOTHY PICKERING de-
cIsred to Governor PLUMEs OF New
Hsnpshirc, thst the election OF JEFEER-
SON was a sufficient cause for dissoiu-
tion of the Union
The contrast OF the noble conduct OF
Governor OaLE in 1900 with that OF the
miserable and debased executives OF
South Carolina, Elorids, and Louisina, IN
1876, is too striking 10 require pointing
out 1t is the soul oil chivslry and un-
sullied patriotism contrsssed with the
foul and fostering csrricn of political cor
ruptiou.
