MIR. sTOUGHTONs ARGUMENT.

h.
Mr.. St0uehton followed with an argument on
the Republican side of the question Ho ehpreSSeu n'
surprise a the objection that the certificate OF Gov Mel
log was When the vote OF Connections was
counted her Governor, Mr. IngersO was Presidentia
elcctor ut large, and his certificate was rece'Veu
without objection. Such objections were nafoy
suitable 10 the dignity OF the occasion. 1t had also
been objected to-day that GOV. Kellogg was not
the Governor OF Louisiana, and that LOUISIANA
was governed by military despotsm. Tie supposed
that that meant that military force had been on app-
cation Of Gov. Kellogg to tho President ordered 10

Mr. Ioar suggested to Mr. sougton that it hardly

THE UNFIILED VACANCY.
Mr. stoughton passed TO other points. Coming to the
objections made Returning Board OF Louisiana Tor

he said that the law the subject was merely

It frequently happens that vice La forced
to pay its respects to virtue, aud express All
admiration for worthfneaa to whicl, It is not
equal. Something Of this kind may be ro-
marked IN the recent Acknowledgements made
by the Chicago 7yma OF the justics and suc-
cess OF President IlAyxs' Southern policy,
and ita admission that ha Las, kept
full faith with tho public In tho
promises mado iu his lotter Of acceptance
anl In hiz inaugural address, This comes
from journal which denounced HAyxs aa .
villain, and endeayored to exotic revolution
to keep him out Of tho position to which ho
waa entitled under the laws Of tho country.
We still fear that the old cloyen foot IL hid

deeeucy, aud that 1t Affects candor which II
doca not really feel 1t looks very much as
though 1t was simply succuiubing, much

ion, and seeking 10 iug1atiats itself only to
enjoy now opportunities for the same unfair
md hostile course It pursued prior to the
Inauguration ~ soon a. 1t can do 10 with
impunity. Praise from the Tines Is always
suspicious circumstance, and, when It docs
not reflect upon tho pcrson praised (as It

warning that this pastisanship, sooner or
later, in some way Or other, IL 10 be used to
injure its object. Perhaps tue 1Imes is ,na-
ligusnt enough TO understand that it4 praise
