LOST OPPORTUNITY.

As the Democracy look back over the
past they see many things to regret. They
regret not having secured some other plan
of counting the electoral vote. 1t is no
shallow regret now. mind you. II is deep
seated, broad and massive. They do not
like the way things are going on. And
why should theyH Things are going
against them, and when things 60 against
the Democratic party 1t carries sadness into
their camp. and wailing Is heard among the
disciples Of CALHOUN and the apostate from
the cause of American national unity. They
are weeping like Rachel. They mourn the
loss Of their fondling. Judge DAVIS, their
great expectation, failed them, and they
feel hike gnawing file. and fleeing to the
mountain of Hepsidam, where the lion
roareth and the whang doodle mourneth
for It's offspring. In their agony they pom.
der over the plan Of counting the electoral
vote which was presented to them In q
speech delivered by Hon. W. W. Wilt.
SHIRE of Alabama, some time beforethey
proposed to drag the Supreme Court
into politics. In that speech Mr.. WILT
SHIRE tolu the Democracy OF plan Whlch
would now, were 1t in force, comfort them
exceedingly. He said:
Tho true object Of both Houses should be, and
hope viii be, in tho exercise Of their sonstitu.
tions powers to ascertain which, II either, Of the
candidates for President and Vice President were
elected BY the yotss Of the people, fairly pollsd,
honestly and fairly counted and returned, and
honestly and legally eanvassed and ssrtined.
To accomplish thi. cad, sho.ld the bill re-
ported By the Joint committee fail to
become law, It would seem that 4
would be right and just that 8 rule should
be estaoiished reguirinE She Two Houses IN
the question Of wholly rejecting the votes Of .
State, or Of substituting other votes for those
primo (asfe entitled to be counted, the rejection
or substitution should not be adjudged by mere
majority OF the members Of the two Houses In
joint session, but By vote Of at least three- hs
OF the members OF the two Houses present and
voting. This requirement would, Il seems to me,
free the mode OF adjudication Of Its partisan OBJ
jections. and secure more just and satisfactory
settlement Of such questions.

An Upiust Seutouee.

The scales Of justice arc out OF gear. Pre-.
judiee, and partisanship, and influence and
wealth move them at their bidding. We see
evidences Of gross injustice which has been
innisted upon American freemen In tho high
est and lowest courts In the land. A few days
ago Governor WELLS was dragged into the
confinement without salso or excuse. Yes
terday Judge HUNPHRIss, Of the Criminal
Court Of the District, refused . new trial
to . eolored man named FIrzHUdH, and sent
him to the penitentiary for four years. This
man was charged with an assault, with in
tent to kill. The jury brought In . verdict
based on the testimony Of ono man, who swore
at one stage Of the trial that he saw FITzHUGH
in the neighborhood Of the assault, and at
another time swore that he did not see
him at all. In the defense of this man
an abb was proven, such Is ought to
have satisfied . careful jury, and yet they
brought in verdict Of "guilty" against this
innocent man. But After the verdict was CIV
On, the Judge had the power TO undo the great
wrong perpetrated BY the verdict. He had the
power of granting new trial to the prisoner.
An earnest appeal for new trial was made In
behalf Of FITzHUGH, by his counsel Mr.. CAM.
CARRISoToS. He presented ample addi-
tionsl evidence for new hearing. He urged
upon the court the innocence ofthe man, and the
outrage on human liberty which would accrue
by sending him to the penitentiary. But all this
was Of NO avail. Judge HunPnRIhs, inau-
enced by spirit which We cannot under
stand, refused new hearing, and rendered
the unreasonable and outrageous sentence of
four years In the peuitentiary.
Something must be rotten in Denmark
when the rights of personal liberty are sacri-
feed with such Indifference and carelessness
as has been exhibited in this instance. No
man who heard tho evidence In this case can
be convinced that the prisoner is guilty
Of the crime for which he has
been sentenced to drag out four years In peni-
tentiary confinement. But the verdict was
rendered, the sentenced has followed, and
now unless the President psrdons this inno-
cent man, he must spend four years In prison
for crime which has not been established
against him.
Justice is begging In these days, because per-
sonal liberty is constantly being sacrificed
through Indifference or carelossnes. One Of
the highest privileges OF Judge
10 to protect the innocent from wrong through
the misapplication of the law. 1t 10 sacred
power II 1t is properly and carefully used; it
Is a dangerous power when abused or care
lessly exercised. Justice, the evidence in this
case, and all the circumstances surrounding It,
cry out against the sentence which has been
pronounced against this man.

oPPoIsNG THE DECISION.

The Florida case worried the Demo.
crscy of the House yesterday. 1t was
political pellet prepared bya creature OF
their own origlnstion. which they were
either to swallow or break faith with the
patriotism Of the American people. They
pondered for forty hours over the matter,
and then decided to break the faith.
1t was an act which must forever
stigmatize them as q body utterly un-
worthy the confidence Of the Amer
lean people. When the plan of the
mixed Tribunal was snder consideration.
the business men OF the country flooded
Congress with petitions urging them to
adopt some compromise policy which
would lead TO a peaceful solution of the
political contest. The Democracy held
these petitions .alof, and with sancti
monious countenAnces cried: Behold the
will of the solid element Of the nation.
They want q peaceful settlement. Give
us the mixed Tribunal, and by its decision
we will abide"
The Tribunal was given them. 1t has
rendered decision, and now the Demo
