A DECISION WHICH GIVES THE STATE TO
TILDEN.

DECISION WHICH GIVES THE STATE TO
TILDEN.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Jones
Of Florida, received to-day the following
despatch:
TALLAHASSEE, Jan. .18-The information
of quo warranto has been decided upon
the demurrer in favor of the Democrats
and against the Hayes electors.
This decision is given by Judge White
Of the Circuit Court, the demurrer being
made that the Hayes electors, having me
and acted,no Court could consider their
eligibility after the fact. By deny
ing this demurrer the Court decides that
it has jurisdiction, and the case will
proceed to trial upon the main issue as
10 the right of the Hayes elector to act
at all. Meanwhile the decision on the
demurrer = i'll be appealed to the Su-
preme Court, David. Dudley Field: who
is following the case, regards this decis-
ion as of tho highest Importance, and
practically establishing the action of
the Court, as it has already decided that
the canvass Of the vote under the laws Of
the State must be ministerial.
The Evening Post blunders when it
intimidates that the writ of quo iUdrranto
was not:served on the Republican cleo
tors in Florida till after they voted for
Hayes. The information was fled in
Court, and the Court by its mandate took
jurisdiction by service of its process
on the electors before they voted, and
they defed that mandate by refusing to
answer and go their vote. After they
had voted the electors answered that
the Court had no jurisdiction because
they had voted, and this plea the Court
overruled and commanded them to an
swer to the merits forthwith World.
T. must be borne in mind that the
Florida Supreme Court consists wholly
OF republicans, two of whom are north
ern men. 1t is not supposable that they
are baisedl in favor of the democratic
electors. 1t Is difficult to see how any
other decision could have been reached.
Any other would have enabled the
Hayes electors to take. advantage of
their own wrong.

MObs at the North.

The city of Baltimore has long
borne the i'll repute conveyed in her
title of the City of Monuments and
Mobs. We do not think that this re-
proach has been altogether Just one,
or that the unhappy occurrences of
mob violence, accompanied with san
culinary results and excuses, have been
more frequent there than in the other
cities of the North. This notoriety
has been due to the political bearings
of these turbulent occurrences and to
the character of the excuses COM
mitted.
Thus, in the mob of 1S12-the first
notable event of that sort which in
flcted upon Baltimore the bad name
she has ever since b)rne-the causes
were political; they originated in o
misdirected and delirious patriotic fer
vor, and the victims were persons who
were conspicuous in our history for
their virtues and patriotic services. In
that affair the gallant and patriotic
Harry Lee, the father of our venerated
chieftaln, RDbert E. Lee, was fearfully
wounded and left for dead on the
floor of the city prison; Gen. Lingan, q
revolutionary soldier of high repute,
and other gentlemen of honor and dis
tinction, were slain for the chivalric
action of defending the lives, the prop
erty and the freedom of speech of a
public Journalist, himself a distin-
guished member of Congress, who had
dared to oppose and denounce q strong
popular sentiment.
This mob was the precedent for
others which have stained the escutch-
con of Baltimore-such as the Know
Nothing violences of 1854, the bank
riots in 1887 and the resistance to the
passage of the Federal troops to Wash
ington in 1861. In all these demon
STATIONS there was moro or less of po-
litical passion or sentiment, which
could not excuse or justify such vio-
lent resorts, but were certainly entitled
to more charitable and lenient consid-
Grafton than such mobs as have been
provoked in the Northern cities by re-
ligious bigotry and by attempts to reg
ulate the contracts and the rights Of
labor. M such paliati n or leniCncy
can be extended to the excuses perpe-
tra;ed by Infatuated men who seek to
control and dictate to others how they
shall dispose of their own property and
labor.
The Molly Maguires, of Psnnsylva.
MIA, and the strikers on the Baltimore
and Ohio Rsilrosd commit great crimes
against society when they resort to vio-
lence to prevent citizens from conduct
ing their business in their own way,
and seek by intimidation and tumul,
to coerce others into granting terms OF
employment which they cannot afford.
Oppressed IS the people are in this
country by monopolies and by combi-
nations Of capitslists, the attempted
remedy is far worse than the disease
wheE mob associations assume the des.
potic and lawless power to determine
upon what conditions corporations
shall exercise their right 10 transact
business. This is q far worse, moie
dangerous and criminal species Of mo
nopoly than those which are sought tc
be overturned and destroyed.-Es.
