In the Commission, Mr.: jerks con-
81 ,dcd by asking the Commu s on to
let tho truth slime upon the whole
transaction. If you do, said he,
there can be but one SINGLE result.
The wisest Of mon, tho strongest Of
men, cannot make tho false true.
No false god should be set up. If
you attempt to blind the eyes of
this mighty nation, your edict will
be void, for history will know tho
truth and record it, No we want
to clear out all of this pollution,
and to purge the nation Of the dis
grace Of the fraudulent acts of this
vi!o retul ming board.
MI, Hulbut, one of the objectors
to certificate no. 2-the Tildon
paper-after briefly reviewing the his
tory Of Louisiana for several years
since, claimed that the Kellogg gov
ernment has been officially recog-
nizod by the President of the United
States and by both houses of Con-
gres.. John McEnery had not
attempted to exercise the functions
OF governor since 1914, and yet he
now comes forward and attempts
to give certificates to men who claim
to have been elected-the Tilden cleo
tors. Mr.. Hulbutread ono of the ccrtiti
Gates to show it's peculiar phraseolo-
gy, and that McEnery did not sign
himself as governor, and did not
use the great seal of the State. He
had no seal, nor did he have any
Office The fact being settled that
Kellogg is the only lawful executive
of Louisiana, he would ask the Com
mission whether they had the right
or the time to investigate the cleo :
ton in the State. He road from tho
laws Of Louisiana.
Howe followed Uulbut on the
same subject.

The Electoral Fraud.

The conduct of the Electoral
Commission has been source of
great disappointment to those who
relied upon it to sot at rest all
doubt as to the legality" of the olec-
ton of one or the other of tho
Presidential candidates. Every one
knew that without going behind the
actions of the returning boards
Hayes would be counted in unless
Oregon's vote defeated him. But
what tho honest people of the
Union desired, was to know which
candidate had received majority
of all tho legal votes cast in each
State. This knowledge could be
obtained only by examining into nil
tho facts connected with the election
in tho three disputed States. For
this task the Electoral Commission
was specially appointed. When it
refused to make this scrutiny, it
fell far below what was expected of
it, and instead Of unraveling tho

Tho proceedings before the Su.
prone Court for the past few weeks
have not yet resulted in anything
decisive. The Court is moving cau-
t'ously. The aspirants for the
State Offices are contesting the
ground, step by step, but the Demo
Gratis have a very strong case and
some of them, if not all, will eventu
ally be successful. The gubcrna-
torial issue is still before the Court.
but nothing has been decided.
Hampton, however, is gaining
ground every day. He has become
the de tacto governor, and is recog.
nized every where. Tho people of
South Carolina announced in No,
vembcr that they would have
Hampton or Ruger; and this is still
the alternative. There seems now
no possible chance for Chamber
lain.

The Louisiana Case.

The proceedings i'll the joint ses~
sion Of Congress for the past few
days havo consisted in counting and
recording the votes of Florida,
Georgia. Illinois, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas and kentucky for
their respective candidates. When
Louisiana was reached, tho Presi-
dent Of the Senate handed to the
tellera three certificates, two of
which coverc;. the votes Of the
Hayes electors, and the third, signed
by McEnery rs Governor, those of
the Tilden electors, There was
also a certificate which the Vice
President said he had received by
mail, purporing to cast the eight votes
of Louisiana for Cooper and Cary.
The electors mcn4ionei in the docu.
mont were all named John Smith,
distinguished from one another by
the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, anl 6, and
by "letter A, "lottcr b." and "let~
her-Rip. The Vice President
asked and obtained unanimous con-
sent to suppress this certificate.
which was clearly bogus and bur-
lesque. The matter occasioned
much roerriment. Senator Melon
aid, of Indiana, submitted objections
to the Hayes and Wheeler certif-
Gates. Objections were likewise
submitted to the counting Of tho
votes Of the Tilden electors. The
case thus went to the Electoral Com
mission. The counsel for the
Democrats are Messrs Field,
Campbell, Trumbull, Carpenter,
Merrick, Hoadley and Green ; and
for the Republicans, Messrs. Evarts,
Shellabarger, Matthews and Haugh-
ton.
The further proceedings of tho
Commission are as follows:
Judge Clifford announced two
hours for each side, and that the
Commission was ready to hear the
obJectors to the Hayes certificates.
Senator Mcdonald opened, claiming
that the Hayes electors were not
legally elected, quoting the statutes
OF Louisiana, showing two sets of
electoral laws, and-whether ono
law repealed the other, or whether
they should run together-.tho pro-
ceedings of the Louisiana returning
board were alike irregular and un-
lawful.
Mcdonald and jerks nre making
strong case, and apparently a
strong impression on the court.
There is no change in the situation,
as indicated by the expressions of
confidence on each side. Each asks
the other, "Do you give it up. q. and
each answers, "No" =

1t is said on good authority that
Governor Tilden is still quite
sanguine Of his SUCCESS in the
Presidential struggle. Ho is re-
ported to have used the fol-.
lowing language to q persona
friend, only day or two before tho
Florida decision :; "Say to our
friends that they have no reason to
be depressed if the Commission de-
eide against the Democracy in tho
Florida case. I expect the decision
will be adverse, but do not encour-
age despondency. Tho loss of
Florida will not surprise mo, but
there are other points upon which
I am confident the Democracy will
succeed" He is represented as
talking very unconcernedly about
the matter, and as saying, II am a
fatalist in SO far as 1 believe, as the
representative Of the Democrats,
that the final decision will be in our
favor"
