QuEER JuDGEs, There is Il clause
in tbs Constitution of the United
States which says that no one holding
an Office Of profit or honor, can serve
as Presidential Elector, or, words Ia
that effect Yet, three OF the Judges
on the Washington Returning Board,
took an oath to support and defend
that document but refuse to be gov
erned by IL when the Democrats bring
to their notice the fact, that no less
than EIGHT Radical Electors held
such positions, and are therefore incl
igible, aud ought to be counted out, -
in accordance with the Constitution
aud the oath they have taken. II
devils do not rejoice over II moral and
legal wrong of this character, we can.
not imagine what else mortals could
do to inherit the abode Of the damned,
unless they would engage in whole.
sale murder.

DEMocRArIc VIoroRiEs.-Thc result
Of tho February elections has been a
triumph throughout the State Tor the
Democrats, The $4,000 Radical ma.
jority in Philadelphia last November,

elected a Mayor, although the Radical
incumbent was elected two years ago

cast off and a count made and re.
turn accepted without the State seal
or anything else except for Hayes.

Board, which offered to soil the State
for cash, is no worse than the Wash.
