Of such officer. At length it was learned
that Mr.. sollacc had resigned his Office
as postm ester, but IL he bad not, ell that
would be necessary to secure the vote
whicL ho represented Ia the electoral
college to the Republicans would be that
he should stay away when tho votes of
the state are cast, and that tho other
electors should Gil his place. That ac.
ton is not considered necessary by those
who ought to know best. Caleb Gushing
has expressed bis opinion to that effect,
as has also Attorney General Taft. The
latter holds that where one eleotor is in.
eligibly elected that such circumstance
does not elect an opposing olector; and
that no considers il rule that while the
ineligible party receives a majority he is
not elected, but at the same time il does
not elect the other party. The principle
is that the majority must rule, and al.
though majority of votes cast cannot
make an ineligible manan elector, thev
we're cast. nevertheless, and are not so
void as to give the other man n majority

George William Curtis on the
Sham Independent Press.

Mr.. Curtis, 10 the last number o.
Harpsr's Weekly. expresses his opinion
OF the dishonesty and treachery Of the
Springfield Republican, Nation, and
others of the so called "Iudependent'
paDe's, in .ho following distinct terms.
During the campaign that has Just
ended, there were some newspapers which
seemed TO consider themselves 'indepepd.
ent" because under a langrid profession of
preference for Governor Hayes they sedu.
lousy promoted the election of Governor
Tllden. Their sneers and ridicule, their
"nagglng" and innuendo, were all layished
upon the Republicans and by every
kiud of indirections they served the cause
OF reaction, Of Initiation, and oil hopeless
degradation of administrative methods a
thousandIold more effectively than il they
had been frank and declared Democratic
organs. 1t seems to us not only anpatri.
otto, but dishouorable. to take o party
position OF the kind just closed. and to
maintain it in way which conioupds
every honest supporter of the party, and
encourages and delights its opponents.
We know that we speak the
feeling Of the best Republicans every
where in the country in saying that no
such damage was done to their cause dur.
ing the campaign as by the papers which
declared for Hayes, and then uniformly
instilled into tho minds OF those favorable
to him the profoundest distrust of tho
Republican party. Gu: OBJ
lection is not to what is called independ.
ence, but to independence which is Effects
lively Democratic partisanship. Harpers
Weekly sincerely desired the success of
Hayes aud Wheeler as promoting the
best interests Of the country. But what
proof should We have given of our faith
and hope if Mr.. Mast had filed the pa,
per with trenchant caricaturcs Of conspic. |
nous Republicans. and We had occupied
these columns with digs and stabs at
tho partyf If an Independent paper dc.
sides to sustain party candidate, 1t will
undoubtedly do SO 10 au independent
manner. But if tho manner in which
such journals have supported Governor
Hayes be independent, then independent
upport means tho most efficient and in-
urious opposition, We do not deny
hat words and sentences 10 them friendly
o Governor Hayes may DO discerDed, but
10 reader could possibly have imagined
rom constant readipg of such papers that
BIO SUCCESS of Governor Hayes would not
70 very detrimental, and that Of Governor
'ilden most favorable, to tho welfare Of
he country

EE There is not much change 10 the
political status since our last issue. The
old saw, await until after election to see
who is elected, must be extended. There
seems to be only one thing absolutely
certain about the matter, aud that is, that
there is to be big row. South Carolina
has been taken out Of the list of doubtful
states by general consent, and put upon
the Republican side Of the column, and
those best informed seem to admit that
Florida is now certain for Hayes, though
some Democratic journals still claim it.
10 Louisiana both sides claim tho victory
with extravagant statements Of majorities,
and the probability is that ono eide or
the other is depending upon proofs of
frauds, and 10 that case, of course, they
cannot tell how much can be proved. So
the matter is unsettled. The returning
boards get 10 work this week and we
shall know sometime, 1t is hoped. what
the result is. As near as we can estimate
it from the conflicting partisan state>
mcnts, Hayes is elected and will bc our
next president. It is not yet entirely
settled what the result vill'b as to con.
gressmen, but il has become evident that
the Republicans have made 30 many
gains that tho Democrats 10 the next
House will have only bare majority.
perhaps of three or four, instead of the
sixty odd majority which they have 10
the present House.

Ef- The political wiseacres have dis

occurs on Sunday, and that therefore
there is likely to be some question as to
who shall exercise tho functions of presl.
dent from the time President Grants
term Of office expires on Sunday noon M.
til bis successor can DO inaugurated on

on constitutional law and parliamentary
usages, secs no reason why the precedent
may not be followed which occurred once
before 10 the history Of tho United
States. when twenty-four hours elapsed
after the death Of one president before
the accession Of snolher. During that
time the government went on smoothly
enough 10 the hands Of the heads Of the
departments. II 1t can do so for twenty.
four hours 1t can do so for twenty. -four
days or weeks. lle further suggests that
It Ia the spirit Of the constitution. II not
the express letter. that the existing presi.
dent shall hold over until now election
shall have been duly effected.
The Democrats affect to see something

doctrine, and IL docs scarcely seem to DO
the design Of tho constitution. That doc.
ument does not seem to contemplate any
such possibility as an interregnum or de.
