its consideration and adoption has certainly
furnished the first example in many years,
sand the most remarkable example at any
time, of men forgetting their party differ
'ences in their country's welfare. If the
measure had serious defects, the fact that 1T
has elevated the patriotism of our land
would serve to cover many of its blemishes."
Unfortunately the bill does not provide
against party differences, nor are party diff
ferences forgotten. On the contrary, the
committee of arbitration, so far as congress
is concerned, will be strictly partisan, and
nothing is more current than the discussion
of the partisan predictions of the judges
who are to be on the committee, and the
mere fact that Judge Davis has just defeated
Logan by receiving democratic votes is re-
garded of sufficient significance to make
him Objectionable in the minds of partisans,
and there is chuckling now over the
probability that a political partisan
judge will hold the balance of power. The
fact that forgetfulness of the partisan is not
a part of the programme is disclosed in the
utterances of Senator Conkling who, with
all the facts of returning board villainies
stretching out before his vision as red as
miniature bells, declared when advocating
the measure that he believed Hayes was
elected. Mr.. Watterson is of the opinion
that the bill "elevates the patriotism of the
land" 1t may elevate Mr.. Watterson's pat
riotism, and it may give assurances of peace,
but the American people, if the arrange
ment does not humiliate them too much,
will see to it that a future necessity for such
legislation never occurs

At O. clock on last Thursday morning
Morton, like stag at bay--desperate, an
CRY, resolute-made one more desperate, en-
ergetic effort to kill the compromise adjust
ment, then to be shortly acted upon. He
arose and almost screamed with a voice that
in its cracked tones betrayed the stress and
strain Of an all-night session, why is this
movement begun at this time? What is
the necessity of this last resort,
when without it one has sure hingS
Ahf Morton betrayed himself by that
careless expression, Zone has sure thing"
That is just what he has been fighting for
during the last two months-''a sure thing"
The sure thing" was to have the president
of the senate '.open" and count, the vote
and declare Hayes the next president.
Therefore Morton thought that his radical
friends were making fools of themselves to
risk "a sure thing on something that
might be dead failure. Mr.. Henry Wat
terson, in the debate of Friday, gave
expression to the opinion that he
believed conspiracy did exist to
inaugurate Hayes and to use the army
and navy to compel acquiescence. This to a
man like Morton was surer than to submit
the presidential question to an honorable
tribunal, as the one will PROFESSIONALLY be
which decides the matter. Taking this view
of the question, one can understand Nor
tons desperate leaps during the entire
week. While he was appealing'to his col
leagues IN the senate chamber By every
tricky art and device known TO the trained
politician them to stand by the
old party, that they had "a sure

haps Morton was right. Success is what he
fights for. Like the desperate assassin that

Thus we have the snug sum of 500, 9S7.54,
which the committee find is due and owing
to Jefferson county by her former auditor
and treasurer. The people of that reliable
republican county appear to be paying dearly
for the privilege Of electing representative
radicals to county offices. Perhaps they
will, after awhile, discover that if the re-
publican party does contain all the honesty
and decency of the country, it also has some
men in utilization with it who are not over
burdened with these desirable qualities
The commissioners of jefferson county
have ordered suit to be instituted
against Messrs. Gale and Jackman
to recover themoney found due by them to
the county. Some of the bondsmen of the
latter have served notice upon the commits
sioners that if they employ attorneys to
prosecute these suits they will be personally
liable for the expenses thereof. 1t is sought
by this means TO deter the commissioners
from resorting TO legal measures to compel
the payment of the money which the com
mittee found 10 be due by these ex-oficials.
And should the suits be prosecuted, it is
uOuotlu ii VIC inOHcy WilA Dc IcCONeIcu.
The law fixes the penalty of a county audi
tors bond at s., 200, and we learn that the
penalty Of that given by Mr.. Gale is 5000.
Whether the greater amount will include the
lesser is legal question which we shall not
attempt to solve and If it does include it
there is balance of $40, 942. so for which the
county holds no indemnity. This fact is well
worthy. of the attention of our Legislature, and
that body ought at once to amend the law so
that county auditors would have to give
bonds in sufficient penalties to protect the
public from loss.
The investigation into the county offices
of Jefferson county has PANIED out so
richly that il would be well for the county
boards of other counties where any suspicion
of crookedness exists-if there be any such
to raise committees similar to the one
which unearthed the malfeasance in the of
fees of Jefferson. III there be any rotten
ness in any of the county offices of the state
it ought to be hrors ht to light. and the men
responsible for it exposed and punished.
We propose to again refer to the report of
Messrs. Fenton, Daniels and Robertson at
an early day.
