As specimen Of the blackmsiling car
ried on by the correspondent Of the Kansas
City Times In the legislature, we give the
following for what it ia worth: On the
day that the Nebraska legislature visited
tins city, 1t will be remembered that Gov.
Salter said, "Fhe band will give US piece
OF music, Governor Anthony turned to
Speaker Wood and said, "How big piece"
Wood, without thinking of the result of
such reply, answered, about as big a.
a piece of cheese"
Ford in some way got hold of it, and
yesterday he said Wood didn't want it pub
hshed. He was asked how much Wood
would give him not to publish il. With
his characteristic frsnkness he replied !:
Not cent, damn him, but / will publish
II If he is not very clever 10 me-"
The fact is just this: When the invita-
tion to Ford was read in the house last
week, Wood didn't stand up to Ford with
As much trmness as Ford thought he should
have done, so ferd is waiting for an oppor-
tunIty to get eyen.-C0mmonUeolth.
We have known e good many things Of
which Ford has been guilty, and ii this be
true Of him he ought to be expelled from
the state.

the reasons why the commission should re-
ject that certificate, holding that . Repub-
lican form Of government must exist in q
state to give validity to the vote of that
state. He infested that il legal disabilities
were imposed, or if intimidation was prac-
ticed, the Republican form of government
vas not maintained, and he proposed to
show, by testimony taken BY the house
committee, that both conditions existed.
Mr.. Hurd held that ~ the Constitution Of
South Carolina required the registration Of
electors, and that this requirement was ut
terly ignored, Ibe election vas consequently
void. de next vent to the objection that
the presence of United States troops in the

He read the

of October 18th, 1876, declaring that an in
surrection existed in that state, and con-
tended that the clause Of the Constitution
