KELIoee,s oBRTIPIcATE.

The Picdyane argues the illegitimacy
the State certificate signed by Governor
Kellogg. 1t says:
They mean to hide behind Ksllogg's GER
tifcate. But Kellogg Is not the Governor
of Louisiana-never has been.
How have Messrs, Ellis, Gibson, Levy
and others managed to hide behind this
insufficient screen? On what ground do
they hold their seats and draw their pay
in Congress? It would seem that State
rights Democrats should maintain the
right Of State to decide upen the valid
ity Of It's own commission, and when il
has decided TO recognize the authority Of
a Governor by It's own act whether Of
compromise or otherwise, it should not
be permitted to the Federal government
to inyalidate the act Of the State itself.
Governor Kellogg anAoanced by proc
iamation the elections Of 1874 and 1876.
He has certified the commissions Of Rep
resentatives and oAicers elected under
them, and to suggest that the Federal
government should except 10 the legality
Of & State government which the people
q 3 State have accepted Is . violation Of

We think not many people in this city
will agree with General Nichols in char
acterizing the individuals who projected
and promoted the antics of Homus as OBJ
scure and without authority. They may
be unknown to General Nichols and
country gentlemen generally, but the citi-
zens of New Orleans understand that one
of the companies of the White League
parade. Whether Mr.. Nichols knew this
or not, it was deemed wise and polite, at
this peculiar crisis, to send the following
dispatch to Washington:
Colonel 3. a. Burke, Washington, D. c.:
The sentiment of the whole community is
opposed to what occurred at the celebration
Thursday. 1t was the act of q few private
individuals, entirely unauthorized and un-
known, and universally condemned and re-
gretted. FRANCIS T. NICHOLS.
Deputy Marshal Stockton dispatched a
much more elaborate account of the af-
fair which the Picaylne chaFacterizes as
''a small effort on the part of a small man
to create political capital out of the
humors of the carnival"
General Nichols has stated that the
'thumors" are universally condemned
and regretted" but we do not see that he
is included in the category Of ''a small
man" trying to create capital, etc.
Unfortunately the truth of history does
not bear General Nichols out in his assur-
anees to Mr.. Burke. The people were
nearly all dissatisfied because they had to
wait till midnight to see the promised free
show, and when it came along there were
very few who saw in it anything like an
Ineligible idea. But when they read in
the papers the next morning that it was a
slur upon the President and other prom
inent officers of the government they
warmed toward it, and even foEgave its
designers for their failure to come to time
on Thursday night. As soon, however,
as the Republicans manifested their in.
dignation, it was deemed polite to ad-
minister little mild censure. General
Nichols condemnation is the most Yigor
GUS we have seen.

A THREATENEp REBELLIoN

The remark is published as coming from
50 member Of the commission, " "It looks
like the Democrats had been caught in a
trap. II must be an odd sort Of trap
that the rat sets for himself, and yet this
commission is the aVowed work of the
Democracy themselves. It is, however,
natural that a marauder captured BY any
means should set about to relieve himself
of the restrictions which his own mad
yertence, or the justice Of others, should
have thrown around him. 1t is precisely
thus that the Democracy seek to violate
OF nullify the decisio2s of q tribunal
which they have caused to be appointed,
and by which they pledged themselves
solemnly to abide. We find, however,
that this privileged order enters upon con-
tracts to be executed 50 far as they msy
operate in their favor, but to be resisted
50 far as any advantage may result to The
other party. Already we ind the De-
mocracy preparing TO impede pr nullify

mission.
/. We find the same assumption Of ex-
elusive right on the Democratic side, and
the same imputation Of Republican fraud
which has been manifest throughout the
whole presidential campaign.

tied BY The Democratic press Of the city,
intimate that the Democratic leaders ase

thOrity do Messrs. Levy, Gibson and Ellis
telegraph:
Every precaution and preparation has
been taken for the Louisiana case. If one
spark of fairness remains in the commits
sion, Tilden lie safe. The Nichols govern
ment is not necessarily involved. It will be
maintained.
If the certificate of Governor Kellogg
be invalid this telegraphic assurance woald
have no more weight than if it had been
signed by Observer, Buel, Bijou or Burke.
Unhappily for the Democracy the Repub-
licans have more respect for the rights of
the States than the pretended friends of
the States, the Democracy. Judge Brad
ley, standing true to the doctrine of State
rights, is denounced by those who have
bartered away those principles for a
chance at the spoils of Office. The GER
tifcate of Governor who has closed his
term in the presence and under the &C.
knowledgment of body of Democratic
members is good enough for such State
rights men as compose the Republican
side of the grand electoral commission.

THE PRINTING NUT.

The reformers are blocked on their
first attempt at reform. They can not
agree on the printing bill, though every
cheap politician in the State not only be-
lieves he knows all about printing, but
that the alpha and omega of reform are
to be found in making the public printer
work as nearly for nothing as possible.
The Democrat approves law not essen
TALLY different from the one now in force.
The great reform consists in change of
the printer. The Picdyune does not care
SO very much for cutting down prices,
though economy is at all times desirable.
But it is solicitous that the public adver-
tising be done by q respectable paper hav-
ing the ''largest circulation. OF course
there is but one such paper in the State,
according to the notion of the Pic, and
thus the question is simplifed. The
Times goes in for poor, cheap printing,
and would destroy the noble profession
by rafting. Rather than let its rival, the
Democrat, run off with this coveted
prize, it would doubtless promise to do
the work for nothing.
The people will learn at last that there
is a good deal of humbug in the high
sounding pretensions of these self-consti-
tuted reformers. The numerous plans
which have been broaehed to save inn
mense sums for printing are all deceptive
for the reasons.
Filst, the State printer does not now
make tempting profits, and second,
neither Of our Yirtuous contemporaries
would have the prices reduced so long as
there was the least chance that the con-
tract would falf 10 his establishment.
If the Democrats have the power TO
control the public afinting they had
better let the law stand and divide the
profits among their thres hungry Or
gans. II the gains are as great as they
have declared them to Be, there
ought to be enough to satisfy reasonable
people. Such plan would eheCtully
shut out the REFUBLIoAN as q COM
petitor under the system to award the task
70 the lowest bidder.
Unless the State pays better in the
future than il has Tor the past eight years,
there will be no great fortune made 81

HOW SENATOR ooNKIINa WAS M1sIED.

The Cincinnati Times adverts to the as
sertion of Senator Conkling that the
Presiding officer of the Ohio Senate
merely opened the certificates, and that
the two houses of the Legislature to.
gether proceeded to count the votes.
And then appealed to Senator Thur
man, of Ohio, to know, "Am right in
that" To which that Senator answered,
THAT is right, as to the Governor.
The Times then goes on to prove that
such was not the fact, and proves that the
State election of 1851, held under the con-
stitution of 1902, and which furnished the
precedent relied on by Mr.. Conkling, con-
tradicted the application of this preee-
dent. That constitution provides:
The returns of every election for Govern
or shall be sealed up and transmitted to the
seat of government by the returning
officers, directed to the Speaker of the
Senate, who shall open and publish them in
the presence of majority of the members
of each house of the General Assembly;
the person having the highest number of
votes shall be Governor, etc.
In the case cited the Times says the
Wing candidate had the majority on the
face of the returns and the Democratic
Legislature insisted on going behind the
result and taking from the President of
the Senate the performance of this con-
stitutional duty. They were defeated
The constitution was sustained, and the
Wing candidate was inaugurated.
How far the perverted example of Ohio
may have influenced the vote on the pas
sage of the Electoral Commission we have
no means of knowing. The fact remains
that Mr. Conkling misunderstood, and
therefore misstated, the history of this pre-
cedent and the senatorial representative
of Ohio bore what proves te be false wit.
ness to the misstatement. Upon referring
to the political history of Ohio, we find
strict analogy between the mode o.
choosing the presidential electors, as pro
vided by the constitution, and the resolu
ton explanatory thereof and the text o
the constitution of Ohio. This State con
stitution was adopted November /, 1902
presented TO Congress January 7, 1903
and was admitted into the Uniol
the nineteenth of February, 1903. Th
mode of deciding the validity of tn
State election in Ohio was, therefore, il
exact conformity with the process of elect
ing the first Presidents of the Unite
States, as has been shown in these col
umns and elsewhere. 1t was certainl
very careless in Mr.. Conkling to hav
stated the mode of election Different
from what it was, while the ignorance c
bad faith of Mr. Thurman was unpardor
able. The only effect of reference
the matter at this time will be to teac
Republicans the Importance of verifyin
an assertion in some other manner tina
by appealing TO a Democrat to testif
against the interests of the party.

pRRpAa1ra roR AN INsuRREcT1ON.

The arrest of the Nichols pronuncia-
mento just where it stood, with an order
forbidding further movement was an
nounced as dependent for further execu-
ton upon the report Of the congressional
committees which had assumed for the
first time to decide the legality Of an cleo
ton conducted under the laws of State.
Both parties awaited this result, and there
was no one who, in public or private, ex-
pected either Mr.. Packard or Mr.. Nichols
to assert any claim to Office till after Con-
Qress should have decided in favor Of
Hayes or Tilden. If the vote of Louisiana
should have been counted for Hayes it
must have been on the basis Of the Re
turning Board report. lin favor Of Mich
oils, It must have been on the outside
count set up and claimed BY the Central
State Democratic Committee, No one in
public OF private has pretended that any
right in either Nichols or Packard could
survive decision BY Congress adverse to
the claim Of either. The unexpected agree
ment Of both houses Of Congress- and Of both
parties to Determine this question Of legal
ity bya commission, afforded the President
far more conclusive authority than the
report Of committee Of 3 single house Of
Congress could havst done. He seems,
therefore, to have awaited this dsciaion,
and We may apprehend that with the
concurrence Of al the departments Of the
Federal government IN the legality Of the
