The investigation before the Congress
siunaI committee into the facts of the Lou
isidna election presents the most shameful
record of political fraud and debauchery
that was ever exhibited in all our previous
bitter contests in this country. All honest
men of both parties are SICK unto death
with the details of The villaipies Of J. Mad-
son Wells and the other members of the
infamous Returning Board Of that State.
No measure of perjury, forgery or fraud
seems to have been considered by the
Board too monstrous for it's members to at
tempt, either through the hope of pecuniary
gain or ambition. .- the Ph... 1elphia
Times well remaf.-, 1.-THE most damning
evidence before the nation to-day is the
mute but terribly persuasive appeal Of the
hidden original returns of the State, WHICH
the members of the Return Doard refuse to
deliver even under the penalty of imprison-
ment. If their records we're honest and
could be sustained by the honest returns o.
the vote of the people, they would have
been the first evidence presented to the
Committee when the inquiry began"

WE see it stated that a bill is pending
before the present Legislature to reduce
the fees of all county officers. The pres
ent fee bill was passed in 1865 ard is per-
sectly plain in all its details, regulating
or specifying the compensation of each and
every such officer. We have not sean the
bill referred to and cannot therefore ex-
press any opinion i'm reference to the modi-
fications of ahe bill of 1868 which it pro-
poses to make. We may say, however,
that as general rule we are opposed To
the frequent alteration, or change, by the
Legislature of the fees Of county officers
and this for many obvious reasons. But
if that body, in its collected wisdom. be-
lives that the present fees are too excess
i've. let it by all means supply the act Of
1868 by an entirely new one, and then. in
the interest Of the people as we'll as the
officers. let that act stand as the law, and
not be the subject Of constant Legislative
discussion and change. The new consti j.
tuition requires that 1.-The compensation ot
county officers shall be regulated by law
but that the compensation, or fees. then
or now allowed shall continue To be rcceiv.
ed by them until the expiration of their
respective terms Of office and that in
counties containing over one hundred and
fifty thousand inhabitants :he paw of al
county officers shall be fixed by salary
This latter constitutional provision only
applies to the three count les Of PHILADELPHIA
Lnzerne aud Allegheny. and an act was
passed by the Legislature ut it's last session
in obedience To this requirement of the con.
stitu;ion, regulating 10y a fixed salary the
compensation of all officers i'm the three
counties named, without interfering, how
ever. with the existing fees of any Office,
in any other county. The present bill. il
it should become a law, is therefore only tc
go into effect after the terms of the incum.
bents now in office expire. As n matter OF
information for those who are not familia,
with the penalties of the law against TAX.
ing illegal fees. we append the act Of 1860
Oh that subject:
II any Justice, Clerk, Prothonorary, Sher-
i'll, Coroner, Constable, or other officer of this
commonwealth, shall wilfulIy and fraudule
iy receive or take any reward or fee TO exc
cute aud do his duty. in office, but snch as
IL or shall he allowed by some act of as
sembiy OF this commonwealth or shall re-
ceive or take by color of his office any fee or
reward Whatever not or more than in al-
lowed rs aforesaid he shall he deemed guilty
OF mis'.-mcanor in Office and on con viction
be sentenced To pay fins not exceeding II We
