CURRENT COMMENT.

The Washington Herald charges that
Boutwell, as chairman of the committee
on the revision of the laws, defeated the
Hon. Kenneth Rayner of Mississippi, who
was nominated as commissioner to bring
out a new edition of the revised statute 5
and then, with sublime patriotism, the
Groton grocer had himself appointed to
the snug berth.
The New York Commercial Advertiser
inquiries: "Who says the railroad mania
has subsided? The Baltimore. Towson-
town, Dulaney's Valley and Delta mar.
row gauge railway five minutes here
for breath) is projected by some Mary.
land capitalist" We will have it, toe,
before you get your rapid transit.
The New York Herald is afraid that
Schurz will not find "the road to civil,
service reform macadamized all the way.
The greater the cross the brighter the
| crown. The roadway has beensown with
corruption and Mr., Schurz must expect
to find tares all along it.
The New York Post, speaking of tn,
Foster-Brown dicker, says: 1T is eas,
| to see that all the men concerned in thii
rather childless business would prefe
that it should not have been made pub
lie at ALL" But the one who most pre-
ferred it is Mr.. Hayes.

INIthe Lower House..of the New York
Legislature bill, introduced by Re
publican member, has been passed TO
third reading which, should it finally
become q law, will change the ms nner
OF choosing electors in that State. 1t
provides for the selecti IN of two electoi
for the State at large on a.general tick
ct, but the district electors are to be
voted for only in the Congressional dis
tricts which they are nominated to re.
present. This system formerly prevailed
throughout the Union. but it 10 not
probable it will be restored to single
State again. Had it been il operation
in New York at the last election Mr..
Tllden would have lost seventeen OF the
thirty.6 votes of that State, but. had
all the States voted IN that manner, he
would have held a majority Of the Elec-
toral College in spite of bull DOING, Re-
turning Boards and Electoral Commits

WHAT a Corrupt Erecusire can d.

WHAT a Corrupt E.recutice can Do.
The people of the United States sup
posed they had a constitutional govern
ment. But the last corruptExecutive aid
ed by the standing army composed of Off
cers,all or nearly all from one party has
occasioned some doubt about it. Gen.
Grant knew that Mr.. Tilden was elected;
but he made his threats that he would
use the army to inaugurate Hayes, if he
was counted in by the President of the
Senate; and it was given out that Mr..
Ferry, backed up by John Sherman, OF
the Senate, and the other Sherman, Cen
eral of the Army, would count the votes
and declare Hayes elected, without re-
gard to what the House would do. Be
cause of these threats to disregard pre-
cedents and the constitution, the Elec-
toral Commission sham was gotten up,
when finally it was discovered that Hayes
could still be kept out, in defiance ofthe
army and the Electoral fraud, a scheme
was Matched in which the Presidency was
subjected to the barter and sale arrange
ment brought about by Mr.. John Young
Brown, Representatives Ellis and Water
son; and Senator John Sherman, STAN
ley Matthews, Garfield and Foster. The
agreement between these high contract
ing parties left the people and the con-
stitution and the laws out of the question
entirely. The efforts of the great Demo
cratic party and its triumph in favor of
State Rights. Reform and Retrenchment
were traded off for promise to recognize
Nichols and Hampton. So much for the
effect ofa standing army composed of
politicians, and corrupt, wicked and
drunken Executive. The efforts of the
people to economic and escape taxation
has been defeated. Hayes and Shermans
will run the government in their own in
terest and those of their friends and
the lobby. The only hope left is that the
Democratic majority in the next House
willsucceed in arresting the course of ex-
travagance by limiting the appropriations.
The army and navy are of little use and
it Is hoped the House will resolve to SC
regard them.

THE REPUBLICANS boasted loudly
over the results of the recent New Hamp-
shire election the day following the event.
They claimed to have carried not only
their Governor and large majority of
the Legislature, but the three members
Of Congress, in the place Of the two De-
mocrats and one Republican of the last
House. More complete returns soon
abated these exultations, especially in
regard to Congressmen; and it finally
turned out that the Democrats had re-
elected Jones in the First District.
In truth notwithstanding the discour-
aging conditions under which the Demo
Gratis fought the battle this spring, they
made handsome gain over the vote OF
last fall. Hayes then received 4l,539
votes, and Tilden as,5oo, giving the for
mer majority of 5000. At the recent
election the three Republican candidate:
for Congress obtained 39,72s votes, and
the Democratic candidates 81, ,64s, leay.
ing to the Republicans majority off,.
$50. This is reducing the Republican
majority of last fall by $50. This put.
another face on the affair; and with tn,
complete returns before them the Reput
hcans are now naturally silent.
The daily gazette., 1877-03-30

Mr.. Hayes still speaks in very "con:
ciliating" vein to the southern men, and
expresses great confidence in the success
of his commission. That it will be a
success from his point of view is very
likely. The chances are exactly four to
one that it will. But this is not the
sort of success that the country wants,
as Mr.. Hayes will find to his cost. That
commission will not in the least lessen
his responsibility for his unconstitution-
al maintainauce of troops in the state
houses OF two states.

WHY SECRETARY EVARTS HAS AR.
RANGED TO PRACTISE LAW.
From The Cincinnati Commercial.

None of Hayes's Cabinet are rich, un>
less it is Evarts, and as he owns farm in
Vermont, he can, of course never become
an exceptionally wealthy man. He has
a very large income from his practice,
and he accepted seat in the Cabinet
only upon condition that he be allowed
to retain it. There is no statute of 17Ss,
heretofore overlooked. as in Stewards
to see the Secretary of State journeying
to New York about once month to look
after his law cases. He sayes his salary
alone would cut but sorry figure in
meeting his family expenses. You re-
member few years ago Mr.. Evarts was
spoken of for Governor of New York,
but declined. He could not afford it, be.
cause a term as Governor would break
Up his law practice.

it being a split note, one-half of which
appears to be genuine, the other hal
counterfeit. 1t is the first counterfeit or
this denomination of money ever seen a

able from that fact, for fractional paper
currency is near its end, silver fast takin,
