THE VERDICT OF THE PEOPLE.
The Commissioner Work a Di8appoint
ment and Sapri8c,

There can be no doubt that the result
of the Commissions work has been dis
appointment and surprise to the Amer
lean people-an agr eeable oney indeed,
to a large portion ofthe Republican party
who didn't believe they were entitled to
the presidency, and didn't see how they
were going to get it under anything like
an examination or investigation of the
questions involved. The Louisiana deCi-
sion is also shock to the moral sense, of
the nation. 1t violates that American
love of fair play which is one of the do
minant, if not the chief, characteristic of
our dealings with each other, since it
yields the presidency to what the great
bulk Of the people believe to have been
fraud and violence in the Louisiana State
government. For if there be anything
which the large majority Of the people
agree, and the verdict of history has been
assured, it is this whole performance in
Louisiana, extending over the last four
or five years, and eliminating at last in
Just what William A. Wheeler depreCat-
ed so much two years ago, when it gives
the United States the presidency.
It is not necessary to suppose that the
Tribunal which has pronounced this de-
cison was either insincere or dishonest
in reaching it, but it is impossible to es-
cape the conclusion that partisanship
dominated in its deliberations and di-
rected its conclusions. Instead of seek
ing for legal reason to secure justice and
render moral results, there seems to have
been ingenious searching for legal rea-
sons to secure merely partisan victory.
No legal moralist can examine with any
closeness the grounds on which the ma
jority rest ther verdict, without pronounc-
ing that even the law points were pain
fully strained to reach the desired results.
The reasoning of Judge Brady especially
appears at fault when &C impaired with the
precedents, decisions end authorities, as
it is certainly at variance with common
sense and justice -Springfeld Republican.

speech of Hon. Geo. ", Beebe, OF New York;
When the election closed in Novem.
Der last, disputes Immediately sprang up.
The Democratic party said "Mr. Tilden
had carried Louisiana and Florida" The
Republican party said: "While you may
have scored majority of the votes poll
ed, you did it through violence, intimi-
dation and fraud, aud the Canvassing
Board has set aside and rendered nuga
tory that violence and fraud" We, on
the other hand, replied that the Return
ing Board had been guilty of great and
outrageous fraud. Here was the issue
made up. This issue we sent to this
Commission. They have told us they
have no jurisdiction. Then | say we
have the right to find tribunal that has
jurisdiction, and that tribunal having ju-
risdiction is the one to which | shall law
fully take my appeal-the great tribunal
which, next to that which governs all ma
tions, is all potent in this country ofours,
and to that tribunal we take in disap
pointment our appeal.
We remember when the Jacobins of
France, in their heinous, horrible bur
lesque of liberty and all that is sacred,
get up naked courtesan for their wor-
ship they survived in power but few
short weeks. So we say TO the otner
side that, having attempted to defy fraud
having attempted to vitaIize with the
living soul of truth the putrid carcass of
a lie, the people will condemn your ac-
ton, will drive you from power, and visit
on you that scorn and contumely which
your fraud, your outrage, your violence
Of justice so well merit at their hands,

Not q Wise DecislOn.

Speech Of Hon. j.. ]. Davis, of North Carolina
The Commission have not decided rs
wisely as Solomon did when two women
appeared before him, each claiming to be
the mother of the child produced before
him, Each claimed the child, and they
went to Solomon for Judgment and he
said: LET the child be divided between
you" But the true mother, with the
maternal instinct of the mother, said =
mot so, let her take the child" And
so in this case, rather than that civil lib
erty shall perish and law and order die,
we say to you that if it be so that this
child must be divided or given up to you
it shall not be destroyed, it shall not be
divided, take the child, you are not the
true mother, you are the false, fraudulent
claimant; take the child we commit it
= to your foul bosom, but we will watch
yon and guard it, and if any attempt is
made to mutilate it, or destroyit, or
dwarf its fair proportions, we will, with
the courage of the true mother, spring to
its rescue, and you shall be destroyed,
and not it. .t.-',.,z ,

BRIEF EXTRACTS FROM RECENT
SPEECHES IN CONGRESS-.
How the Commission Set Aside

.
Speech Of Hon. I, L. Jones, of Kentucky
9 II may be weshalE soon have inaugu'
rated man as President of the United
States who was never elected, but repu-
dated by majority ofthe States, and by
popular vote of more than three humid
red thousand men. And to whom, sir,
will he be chiefly indebted for his office?
Look below us, sir, now confined and
guilty in the cellars of this Capitol, in
stead of being at hard laborin in some pen
itentiary for their crimes, and you can
see he four creatures, as you have seen
them at that bar, two white men and two
negroes, who silenced the voice Of eight
thousand men of Louisiana, the legal ma
jority for Tilden, and swore away in lie
that will raukle forever the State for
Hayes. These men are our prisoners,
but they are also our masters, "To the
victors belong the spoils," and the in
coming Republican President, if he does
come, should make these criminals the
chief functionaries of his administration.
The names of Wells and Anderson and
Cassanave and Kenner should emblazon
the shield Of his power,
