Senator Allison, it seems, is mixed up
in this Louisiana business, and turns out
to have been the confidential adviser of
the conspirators, telling them whom
they could trust in the delicate business
ofbuying and selling the electoral vote

of the men who could be trusted.

We notice in a reference by the Cleve-

lege, at Hudson, Ohio, that since Profess
sor De VOLTS advent there has been a
new spirit Of enterprise manifest, and 1t
is now talked of to advertise the college,
and appeal to all in the neighboring cit

Eastern seminaries. If there is any one
among the many efficient educators in
Ohio who is calculated to awaken new
spirit in the matter of education, and to
arouse public attention to right use of
the means and appliances to advance
educational interests, that man is Prof
De Wolf, whose labors in this city for
many years past will be remembered by
our citizens with pride.-1oledo Com

THE FL0RIDA CASE

Is now with the Commission for consid-
Grafton aud decision. The case was ably
presented and fully argued by the able
legal gentlemen on both sides; but, we
must say the facts and the argument We're
so decidedly with the Tilden side, we
cannot see how an adverse decision can
come from tribunal composed of such
gentlemen. We cannot conceive it pos
slble that majority Of the Commission
will so disregard fact and law as to de-
eide Florida for Hayes.
"The facts that the Tilden electors re-
ceived a majority of votes at the election
in November, 1875, and that upon the
face of the returns rs recorded in the Of
fee of the Secretary Of State that major
ity is shown, cannot be disputed. These
judgments of the courts, and these acts
of the Legislature have afforded com
plete remedy for all defects of form, and
exhibit, now, the State of Florida by its
entire government, executive, legislative
and judicial, claimingat the hands of the
counting authority, an honest and lawful
count of her electoral votes. These acts
and judgments have been concurred in
by two-thirds of both branches of the
Legislature; by the Governor; by the
highest Court in Florida, embracing three
Republican Judges; by the Circuit Court
and in short, by all the organise of govern
ment in that commonwealth. If it is
possible to refuse to count these votes,
the conclusion will be reached, that fraud
or mistake in the returns of the votes of
any State cannot by any possibility be rec
tilted by the State itself acting through
all the organs known to the law.

In the course of Mr., Kasson's argu-
ment before the Commission on Friday,
Senator Thurman said;
"Will it interrupt your argument Mr..
Kasson, il make an inquiryF Do un'
derstand your argument to go to this
length, lha', if the State Of Florida had
elected four members of Congress or
four persons under the disability Of the
fourteenth amendment, and they had
cast their votes for President, we should
be bound to count them.
"Mr. Representative Kasson-l have
borne in mind that question would
arise as to Tennessee and some other
States touching individual electors, as it
is also presented in one of the objections
that have been presented in the House
have not had time since last evening
to do more than to become possessed in
my own mind of the general arguments
and the results of those arguments APP
plicable to the general principles of this
case.
81 Ihave no doubt that the provision of
the Constitution touching offices of trust,
profit and emolument, and that also re-
lating to persons disqualified by partici-
patton in the rebellion are imperative
upon the several States, and it is expect
ed they will conform it. Whether we
can 90 behind whether it was intended
we should go behind--the action of the
States upon the assumption that they had
violated that constitutional duty, or to
prove that they had violated it, is ques-
ton that leave to the consideration of
those who shall follow me.
"Of course ! understand that one of
the objections in Florida, if you do per-
nit yourselves to go behind and exam
inc it, does involve that point; but as my
time has now nearly expired | have not
the opportunity to go into it, and will
leave it to counsel"
Mr.. Kasson, it seems, was not prepar-
ed to assert that the Governors certih-
cate was conclusive in favor of an ineli-
gible elector, and one of the electors in
the case he was discussing is in that cat
egory. The champion of the Hayesites
was easily driven from the turning point
in this case. Thurman's question touch
ed the marrow, for Mr.. Kasson could
not maintain that the certificate was con-
elusive in favor of an ineligible person.

In the debate in the Senate in 1875
Senator Morton said:

they do not agree. You cannot read
both sets; you can only read one set,and
therefore read that set which both hous-
es Of Congress, supposing men to be pat
riotiC and honest, and acting under the

valid return. think that is the fairest
way.

agree on the same return. What them
"Mr. Morton. The vote goes out. The
State has no UOte."
Senator Morton now denies that either
house has anything to do with counting
the votes, and is ready to plunge the
country into war to maintain the right of
the President ofthe Senate to count the
fraudulent votes of Louisiana and Florida
against the objections of the House.

AN ADMINLSTRA TTON OF DECIDED
REFORMS

During the sixteen years the Republi-
cans have been in power, acts have been
committed which would not bear the
light of day, and Tilden would never rest
easy until he had gone through every
department. His four years would be
occupied in unearthing canal frauds
How would the Republican party like to
have the old argus-eye go through the
Interior Department, the land swindles,
the patent swindles, the Indian thiev-
cries.
How would they like to see the old in.
vestigator among the books and papers
of the Navy Department? And how
would the secrets of the War Depart
ment look when presented by him?-
What would become of the Treasury De-
partment and its countless bureaus? And
what effect would an exposition of the
Post Office frauds have upon the average
voter2 There is only one Department to
which Tilden could go with entire safety
to the party now in power, and that is
the Department of State. That has been
managed during the past eight years
with such chivalrous integrity and sa-
gacity that not one flaw may be discov-
cred to mar its fair record.
1t seems to me that with such advan-
tages, and others that will occur to the
reader, Tilden could make the second
term should he make the first. Few men
are equal to him in political management
Certainly Mr. Hayes is not; and l am
Credibly Informed that Mr.. Tilden is di-
recting the management of affairs of his
party in Congress A prominent Repub-
lican member of the House said to me
the other day that his party had no lead
er in the House; that there was nobody
who had the requisite dash and courage,
and at the same time had the respect and
confidence of the members. "But," he
said "see how different it is with the
Democrats. The minute anything oc-
ours outside the usual channel, away
goes Hewitt or some other Democrat to
consult Tilden, and after all the old man
is the real manager of his party in Con-
gress." Cor. Cincinnati Commercial
