Committees.
Speaker Randall in a Tight
Place
But Proves himself Equal to
the Emergency.
Special to the Register.


WAsHIsGToN, December 6, > A. NJ
The Presidents message is pronounced
one of the greatest surprises of the man
whose life is made up OF surprises. 1t
disappointed the administration men
disguised the best Republicans, and was
chuckled over by the Democrats as the
weakest document ever issued by Il Pres
ident. His failure to touch upon the
Southern policy is regarded rs contes-
sion that he and his party are now with
out any better policy to offer the country
than more troops to be ready at the CONF
mand of the carpet.bag Governors. II
is thought that special message will be
sent hereafter on Southern affairs. Talk
among the best Republicans tonight
reveal great dissatisfaction, notwithstand-
ing they say that Grant had the oppor-
tunity TO set his party right before the
country, and preferred 10 back up theories
and usurpers by saying nothing.
Sitting Bull Morton is ent OF sorts
about il. lie and other strsightouts
hold that the PresideRt gives them di.
rect slap in the face. Zach Chandler is
not pleased with the rcierencet to the de-
partment appolntee., for whom the
heads of the Departments are responsible,
Many Democratic members insist that
Gran. ought to be- impesched. All
agree rs 10 the justice OF such course,
but opinion is divided as 10 its propriety
Iti well known here that Gen. Ruger
is acting under the Presidents orders
in doing Chsmberain's dirty work, and
whatever ne has done or may do, will be
regarded as Grants own act. 1t need
not be surprising If articles of impeach.
ment be presented, although Democratic
leaders are not prepared to say this IS
the programme. The Republicans are
bitterly opposed to sending House COM
mlttees South. In order to nullify the
action OF yesterday, and at
the same time place Randall
N so tight place that he could not get
out Mr.. Plalsted. of Maine, made
his motion to correct the Journal
Quick ss thought Mr.. Randall made a
ruling which took the Republicans by
surprise. They thought they had 1t all
their own way until Mr.. Holman put IN
a ples for similar treatment. Then the
bottom fell out OF the plot, and Mr.. Ran
dalps triumph was complete on purely
lawful grounds. The personnel of thd
Southern investigating committees ex-
cites comment. In numbers the Dem
ocrats preponderste, bet in ability the
Republicans have the best Of it. After
the chairman of each committee there Is
no. leading working Democrat on one
of them. This is unfortunate, for the
mission .! these committees requires
hard. rd.gruJblng labor and keen witted
insight into dark practices.

LOUISIANA.

The. Canvsssing Board, in defiance of
the law that gave it an existence, has
gone through with its illegal work to the
end. By law, the Board is composed of
five members. In defiance of law,
this Board was composed OF but four.
BY law, the five members are required
to be selected from the different political
parties. In defiaace of law the tour.
members Of the Board are all bitterly
Radical. By law, no person shall serve
on the Board who either holds an Office
or is candidate for one. In defiance of
law, two members of the Board are
United States officers. BY law, it was the
duty of the Board to canvass the votes
actually cast. In defiance of law,
the Board counted only such portion Of
the votes actually cast as pleased them.
The face Of the returns showed that the
Democratic majority of the votes cast on
the 7th OF November ranged from 1000
to $4,000 This illegal Boards ir defiance
of law, have given the State to HAYES
by from SAT- to 4,567 majority.
From the character OF the men com.
posing the Board, and from the promise
of kELLoGa to ZACH. CHANDLER two
days after the election, this result has
been expected; yet the fraud
is none the less startling, and
the honest people of the country will
bs none the less alarmed thereby. 1t Is
8 fraud that, If let go unrebuked and un-
punished, will end Republican govern
ment upon the American continent. If
an illegal and self-perpetusting Return
ing Board can thus defy the popular will
of the nation, set aside the verdict of the
people, and make and unmske Presi.
dents, and Senators, and Congressman,
and Governors, and Legislators ri plea
sure, wherein are We better than petty
and irresponsible monarchy?
Governor MCENEKY, who WAS elected
Governor OF that State four years ago

less, the legal Governor OF Louisiana
still, it is understood has commissioned
the Democratic electors in that State;
and they will meet to-day and cast their
votes for TILDEX and HENDRICKS aHp
forward them to Washington and de-
msnd that Congress receive them AS the
voice of the people OF that State.

CHAMBERLAIN may force himself

The argument on the protest of Sena-

and it seemed to be doubtful whether
II would be concluded in time for the

that Gov. GROVER would not issue GER

FLORIDA.

AT l:30 o'clock this morning we we're
notified from Now York that the Telegraph
wires were down between Tallahassee and
Lake City, in Florida, and that no press
dispatches had been. received from the
Peninsular State of Yesterdays work of
the Returning Board. The dispatches
in yesterdays REGISTER showed that the
Democrats were not without hope in
Florida. The Board of Canvsssers Of
that State is composed of three members,
one of whom is . TILoEN man, one an un-
scrupulous and ignorant Radical, and oze
CowGILL, supposed TO be rather fair
minded Republican. It was believed
that the powerful showing up, by the
Democratic attorneys, of the glaring
Radical frauds attempted in the State, and
the candid summing up of the legal votes
cast, on Monday before the Board, had
q favorable effect upon CowaiLL. On
the most unfsvorable showing, the
Dem ocrsts have majority of l,267, and
this majority cannot be spirited away
or wiped out without the commission of
stupendous fraud.
If the Board did, however, give the
State to HAYES yesterday, in defiance of
the will of the people as expressed at the
ballut-box, the Democratic electors will
meet to-day, receive the certificates OF
Attorney General Cooke, memoer OF
the Canvsssing Board, and cast their
votes for TILpEN and HEyDIICKs, and
demand that those votes shall be count
ed by Congress, rs the solemn voice OF
