Florida and the Commission.

By the decision of the Electoral Com
mission last Friday, the four electoral
votes of Florida, are to be counted for
Hayes and Wheeler. The press gener-
ally concede that this decision practic-
ally settles the question of who is to be
the next President. The sovereign
power of state with reference to an
nouncing the result Of popular election,
is respected by the Commission in it's
resolution, not to go behind the duly au-
thenticated returns of the state officials.
This course is dictated by sound reason,
and sustained by the constitution of
this country. Any other course would
precipitate confusion upon the hands Of
the Commission, and confusion worse
COMPOUNDED upon the country generally.
Go behind the properly authenticated
returns of the different states, and the
investigation becomes infinite in its
character, with the possibility of6nally
arriving at the truth, growing more eva
nescent every day. There is practical
ly no limit to detailed investigation of
the past election. The course adopted
by the Commission il a wise one, AMI we
say let it apply to all the states, where
a condition of things exists similar to
that of Florida.

The Secretaryship.

The telegraph has reported the ap-
pointment and confirmation Of Nicho.
las H. Owings as Secretary of Wash.
ington Territory. We have not been
able to learn where this gentleman is
from or any particulars regarding him,
but from his prompt confirmation have
every reason to believe him good
man and true Republican.
Hon. II. G.. Strive, whose term OF
four years as Secretary expired last
December, is to well known as one OF
the foremost citizens of the Territory
and able members of its bar, to need
any long encomiums from us. His re-
appointment would have given satisfac-
ton to the great majority of the peo-
pie of the Territory, at least to nearly
all of the Re publican party. He made
almost no effort to secure his own re-
appointment. but many of his friends
did all in their power to that end, and
Delegate Jacobs had the promise of
the President, on three occasions, that
Mr.. Strive should be reappointed.
Why this promise was not kept we can
not now imagine.
Mr.. Strive has made a capable,
obliging and honest officer, transacting
the duties of his position in such a
manner as to gain the good will Of
those with whom he had business rela-
tons here and the approval Of the De-
partment at Washington.
He will enter more actively into the
practice Of his profession, and we feel
certain will secure for himself large
measure of success in that field where
be is SO well qualified to act by reason
of large experience and commanding
ability.-Olympid Courier.

last year. There has been deadlock
in Senatorial elections in Massachusetts,,
Illionis and Arkansas, happily just bro
ken in the good old Bay State, and
many other reasons besides for consid-
ering this specially critical and peri
lous time in our national affairs.
Whatever may be the final conclu-
sion arrived at under this new style Of
arbitration, partisans of both parties
have their tongues efectually tied.
The man inaugurated on the 4th of
next March, owes something to the
concessions of the opposite party, as
we'll as to the party that backed him
in the election. In the conduct of his
administration he should not be unmind-
full, that for the sake of peace and good
order, the party harp was for a time on
the willows hung. His elevation to that
high station will be due to measures in
volving mutual concessions, and during
his lease of the office, he should not be
unmindful of that fact. His admins
tration should be in keeping with the
quality of craftsmanship which finally
indicted him into office.

o, that time had silver bells!
To mark the moments deeting:-
He hastens by so nOiselessly-
No voice of cheerful greeting.
His cruel scythe is never dull
1t never needs grinding.
No wonder, then, that life seems short,
Since there is no reminding.
If each swift moment, as it sped,
Had uttered kindly warning,
Our busy hands had well improved
Life's happy, blissful morning.
Alas! the angry, bitter words
Once spoken-past recalling;-
Because, Time will on tip-toe run,
No sound of footsteps falling.
o, would that Time had silver bells,
To ring while he is flying!
Who, then, could hate his fellowman?
Or, lose his soul at dying?
Alas! his scythe is always sharp,
And never needs whetting.
We spend this precious mortal life,
Unhceding and, forgetting.

EDITOR INDEPENDENT:
Please permit me to occupy q column OF
your valuable paper, in reply to a letter In last

ly villain, ID. s. Cameron, in which he told the
following lies:
Lie l. He said ! never have postage stamps
In my Office. / always keep good supply.
Lie g He stated that however important
business was, mail could not be transacted
through this Office. The mail 10 carried to and
from this office on Saturdays OF each week, and
in no case has any mail been detained in this
office longer than required by the transaction
Of business.
Lie g. He said that letters could not be reg
istercd at this Office In no case have re-
fused to register letters when presented for
registration In addition to this, believe the
lie about charging freight on knapsack was
manufactured by him also. / don't charge
freight on baggage, and he who says do, lies.
l only charge the paltry sum OF twenty five
cents PER ton on freight
So far as my business Is concerned, buy
and sell produce and goods alike for fair
profit In regard to the figuring, II d. 8. Cam
eron was not fool, he would know that men
Of any occupation had as well not figure at all,
rs TO figure to finance. Read the old proverb
in Daniel--"Take care Of the cent?; dollars
will take care Of themselves" But what mat
tiers it about few stamps to ID. 8. Camerony
" hen he comes to the Office he leaves his
pocket-book at home. In relation TO the bad
coffee, II D. 8. Cameron don't like the coffee
Indians make, he should not dine with them
Besides, the young man who associates with
Indians must expect TO put up with their mode
OF living. So far as knowing wants OF the peo-
pie are concerned, know the class OF goods
that meet the best sales. Am competent Of
attending 70 my own business, and can lick d.
8. Cameron in the bargain; with his pocket
hook left at home.
Very Respectfully Yours,

Here is pleasing example of the
magnanimity with which the Mem
phis Appeal responds to the efforts at
conciliation:
The administration of Hayes is al
ready doomed. The corruption fund
which he set apart to purchase DEM
Ocrats base enough to sell their honest
for gold, was exhausted
in buying D. M. Key and Mike j.
Waldran, and traitors no longer offer
themselves for sale. Tennessee fur
nished the only two Democrats who
got their price before the market
closed. But the honest masses, the
horny handed Democracy of the coun-
try, would not exchange the honest
sweat beads upon their sunburnt
DrOws Tor the spoils which Key and
Waldran may secure by selling them
selves to maintain a great public
fraud a man who comes into bower
rejected by the people, scorncd by
the just, dcrided by the honest. and
branded for all time. Hayes will
learn what all history teaches, that
"justice, which cvermore dogs the
footsteps of those who rob the people
of their rights, sooner or later over
take the usurpers )" and the creatures
who have sold themselves will hide
their dishonorcd heads when in fu-
turc elections they see South solid
for integrity, for patriotism solid in
repudiating fraudulent President,
and solid in uniting with the noble
men fthc North, on the basis of the
Constitution, the rights of the States,
the liberty of the people, and for that
peace and reconciliation which the
Democratic party can alone give to
the country.

itors must feel bad. The Chicago
Tribune dismisses their criticisms In
a word - "numbskull." Davenport

And the Tribune used the only ar
gument that might be expected from
one who took SO foolish o position as
it did. It's argument is that of q
black guard. 1t can't give reasons,
but it can call names. Its declaration
that "intelligcnce and wealth should
rule without regard to numbers" is so
utterly untcnable that it loses its tenn
per and uses billingsgatc when called
on to defend it. Its policy is thus
consistent with its declaration and its
doctrine. We know that the Tribune
editor is intelligent and wealthy. and
that according to its doctrine we poor
little Iowa editors should bow in
meek submission to him, but we in
tend to assert orr independence as
long rs we can. When the declara-
ton OF Independence is so amended
as to read that "all men OF intelligence
