scHuRz's PROPOSITION.

Some days have passed since the
world was apprised Of the Schurs and
Henderson plan to submit 10 the
States for adoption constitutional
amendment conierring on the Supreme
Court the power to decide what cleo
toral votes shall be counted in the
event of disagreement between the
two houses of Congress Time has
been had not only to partially discuss
the measure pio and con. but to permit
some light-headed senator TO introduce
into the Senate the desired amendment.
THE HERsLD regards the proposition as
one Of the most dangerous and startling
in character. and if adopted would de-
stroy the equilibrium which the trainers
Of the Federal constitution intended
should exist between the executive.
legislative and iudicnl departments OF
the government. and would convert
the Sdp.eme Court into canvassing
board with power to elect the president
the head Of the executive department
Mr.. Schurz is pleased TO affirm that
the trainers Of the Constitution did not
forsee and contemplate the case OF dis
puted electoral votes, In this our vas
cillatiug friend Carl Is in error The
thing which he s.ysthey did not foresee
was the very thing they did forsesee and
provided for by requiring these votes to
be counted by the Senate and House OF
Representative, the.one body represent
ing the States and the other the imme-
date representatives of the people,
coming fresh from them and directly
responsible TO them for their conduct.
What more fit tribunal than this could
have been cons,itnted7 They foresaw
all this and further provided, IN the
event of no election by the people
whether such non election was occasion.

rejection of their votes by the two

nents, af cremation that The proposed
change would 10 away with the chris

custom OF continuous centuries. In
reply it is shown that the ser

argument contains a grain OF truth,
what, i, is asked, will become OF the
noble army Of martyrs who perished at

not to be supposed that the body will

the particles of ficsh, for these have been

OF organic life. Matter is ind struelihle
and the Power which can cause resaF-
reetion TO take place can build for the
soul another tabernacle using new ele-
ments for selt-expressiou, adapted To
the wants of the new life Some tinor-
ous people have urged AGAINST the pfae
tice OF cremation that it is 100 suggestive
of the tire that should never be quench

theory show that tins only serves as an
illustration OF the sentimental basis Oh
