The Radicals claim that the Demo
cratic members of the Electoral Com
mission acted as much in partisan
spirit as did the Radical members
But they didn't vote against the ad
mission of evidence to show how the
people of Louisiana, Florida and South
Carolina had actually cast their votes.
That was what the Commission was
created for and the Democrats in that
body on all occasions showed an anxi-
ety to ascertain the true result in the
disputed States, and learn for whom
majority of the legal voters thereof
had cast their votes. The perjured
eight voted upon every occasion
against admitting any evidence in the
matter. They thereby admit that
Hayes was not elected and that they
do not want the evidence OF the fact
that he ia u usurpcr to 20 before the
world. Such is Repubiicanism.

THE PRESIDENCY.

A Plan for the Amicable Adjustment Of the
Controversy. at
The following is the report of the
commissioners of the Senate and House
of Representatives, appointed under
the several resolutions of those bodies
to prepare and report such measures as
may be best calculated to accomplish
the lawful counting of electoral votes.
and the best disposition Of all questions
connected Herewith, and due declar-
alton of result. The commissioners say
that they have considered the subject
named in said resolution, and have
had full and free conference with
each other thereon, and now report
the accompanying bill, and recon.
mend it's passage. We have applied
the utmost practicable study and de-
liberation to the subject, and believe
that the bill now reported is the best
attainable disposition of the different
problems and disputed theories arising
out of the late election. 1t must be
obvious to every person cOnversant
with the history of the country, and
with the formation and Interpretation
of the constitution, that wide diversi-
ty of views and opinions touching
the subject, not wholly coincident
with the bias or wishes of members
of the political parties, would naturally
exist. We have in this state of af-
fairs chosen, therefore, not to
deal with abstract questions, save
so far as they are necessarily involved
in the legislation proposed. 1t is of
loiv hot hn Of
implies that in our opinion legislation
may be had on the subject in accord
ance with the constitution, but we think
that the law proposed is inconsistent
with few of the principal theories upon
the subject. The constitution requires
that the electoral votes shall be count
ed upon particular occasion. All
will agree that the votes named in the
constitution are the constitutional
votes of the State and not others, and
when they have been found and ident-
fled there is nothing left to be disput-
ed or decided. All the rest is the
mere clerical work of summing up the
numbers, which, being done, the con-
stitution itself declares the con-
sequences. The bill then is only

purpose and in the aid of counting
what are the constitutional votes OF
the respective States, and whatever
jurisdiction exists for such purposes,
the bill only regulates the method of
exercising it. The constitution, the
| only great instrument and security for
liberty and order, speaks in amplest
language for all such cases, in whatev.
er aspect they may be presented. 1t
declares that the Congress shall have
power to make all laws which shall be
necessary and proper for carrying into
execution the foregoing powers and all
other powers vested by the constitu
ton in the government of the United
States, or any department or Officer
thereof. The committee therefore
think that the law proposed cannot bt
justly assailed as unconstitutional b,
any one, and for this reason we think
it unnecessary. whatever may be oul
individual views, to discuss any of til,
theories referred to. Our fidelity tt
the constitution is observed when w,
find that the law we recommend is COZ

She went out into the open field,

ceased, one spoke up:
''Sing on old woman ! nobody shall

Another: spray, old woman, and tell

So she talked and sung and prayed,
until the subdued and convicted mob
quietly dispersed, and the exercises of
