What you thought about Louisia-

of our paragraph was, that while You

A PROMINENT Democratic Senator
IN Washington makes the PROPOSE
ton to decide the question Of tn.
Presidency by gamo of chance
Here is his plan which he in,imates
he will advocate in the Senate:
He will propose that all questions as
the count of the elcstoral vote be decided
by committee of seven members from
each body, who shall be selected by lot
For example, he suggests that all The
names of the Senators on slips of paper
BIC PACED in q box, shaken up, and seven
drawn out by a blindfoldcd page. A like
method to be used to appoint the House
Committee The two committees shall
meet in joint session, and all questions be
decided by a majority vote II the Haye,
men have the majority, Hayes of course
will be declared President; if the Tildcn
men get the majority, Tilden will bt
counted in.
This would be n most excellen,
plan for Tilden, for it would give
him a chance to secure an office tc
which he has not been elected, but i,
is not probable that the Republicans

idency, already decided in favor OF
Gov. Hayes, to the toss of a copper

He it was who, when President Lin.
! coin issued the first call for troops
after the attack upon Fort Sumpter,
! declared that "thc old usurper and
his cabinet ought to be pitched into
the Potomac" His principal charac-
teristic, besides disloyalty of the
meanest sort, and 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
lampooncd in his paper for no other
cause than that they were Jealous in
unfolding the government in its eff
forts to suppress Southern Democratic
treason. With this brief review of
the personal characteristics of this
present representative of the Missou-
ri Democracy, we submit the follow

q late number of his paper, the St.
Louis Times
SIN case such traitors to the C0nstitu-
tons, law and liberty, as Morton, Grant,

Now we have summered and WIN

and was permitted to inflict this sort
of Boabdllian bombast upon

know him thoroughly, and from that
knowledge we can fully appreciate
the above specimen OF tlapdoodle
at its true value. In our opinion, if
its author ever Is placed in such po-
sitjon as to be called upon to bear
arms when there is the slightest pos
sibility Of having his Own hide pune
tured or abraded, he will find some
reason, to him conclusively impera-
tive, why he should cvade the sum

to be "a private in the front ranks Of
an army"is the best possible guaranty
that sucharny designed for no more
sanguinary service than the beating

WE have not seen that any Of the

pose to treat Grover and Cronin to a
dose Of Democratic prescription, by
"riddling their worthless carcasses

two worthless is one which exceeds
the worst which has been charged

For in all their acts, from first to
last, the Louisiana Returning Board
certainly have had the form and let
