Nes,rs. ssiac L bnrm and Singleton

The following sketches of the speeches
of Messrs. Blackburn, of Kentucky, and
Singleton, of Mississippi, on the Electo-
raj bill, present in a few brief, ringing
sentences, the abhorrent features of the
measure:
Mr.. Blackburn, of Kentucky, opposed
the BILL because, in his Judgment, there
was no proper subject matter in arbitra-
ton; and because even if that position were
not true the tribunal proposed to be crea-
ted was extra and Unconstitutional. 1t
robbed the House of its constitutional pre-
negative to protect the popular right. 1t
was an abandonment of the trust which
the people had committed TO the keeping
OF the House. Not one atom of popular
right in the matter of the selection of ru-
lers would be ever surrendered Not one
preroeative of the House which looked to
the protection OF that popular right would
he ever consent to abandon The people
had made the selection, and it became the
House to ascertain and promulgatc the re-
snlt.
The bill was temporary makeshift. Its
advocates dared not plead it as precedent
for the future. lt was but an abortion
born of timidity which sought to avoid
the responsibilities of the hour. If. said he,
this fraud is TO be reversed, it the Constitu-
IlOn is 10 De dlSregarded. III the presidents
and traditions CT the country are TO be out
ragged by the induction into the Presidency
ola man who has been repudiated at the
polls, let it be done by an open application
of arbitrary power. Let it be done by
force. Let it be done amid the throes of
revolution; but let US not seek shelter UNI
der law Of questionable constitutionality.
Whatever else may be said, / do sincerely
trust that it will never be said of this Con-
gress that it abandoned its prerogatives
and sought TO avoid its responsibilities.
trust that it may never be truthfully
charged that in this crisis mot fraught with
the dangers which some attribute to it'd til
Nudity appeared where manliness should
prevail, and that cowardice usurped the
hour in which courage should rule. [Ap-
plause-l
Mr. Singleton, of Mississippi, opposed
the bill. He regretted that he could not
agree with the committee, but he could not
do so consistent with his duty and his oath
to support the Constitution. He repudia-
ted the theory that Congress had the right
to call IN judges of the Supreme Court or
any other persons outside of Congress TO as
sist In the adjustment of the question. The
Constitution did not yield TO popular
wishes. it was framed as rock with which
to break the force of popular passions. Zap

Norsh Caroiina Hscnds.


The North Carolinians have thrown off
the yoke of the carpet-bagger; but many
of his "bonds" remain to bedevl them.
The following is a reference to portion
of them:
Mr.. w. Best, the Chairman Of
the Committee, states that there IL a
most intense f cling among the people of
the State against the especial taxi bonds.
The Legislature has decided 10 rerudiate
these entirely. and there is no nope Tor the
holders OF these bonds, representing in the
aggregate over$l6.0O0, 900. They are known
in the State as the ''Josie Mansfieds" and
katy D4rlings." When the committee Wis
tied the Legislature they were asked ut once
if they chad any Katy Darlings'" about
them. 1t appears that both the latlies
whom the bonds were named after, held
large quantities of them which thew obtain
ed in very peculiar manner. This was
made known by the bonds being stolen
from Josie Mansfield at Liverpool. Moth
ing definite was accomplished by the com
mittee, but the Legislature favored the dis
Gus ,ion of the subject and the arrangement
OF some plan for the next Legislature 10
carry out They all agreed that if some
system of taxation could be devised for the
payment of the interest the State would
| benefit by it in the matter of establishing
| it's credit. Mr.. Best will return 10 North
| Carolina witha proposition in week or so,
and on his second return will report to the
| bondhOlderS.

SENATOR REYNOLDS submitted a resolu-
ton last night resembling the resolution
heretofore adopted by the Legislature pro-
viding for an adjou nment OF that honora-
BILE body tomorrow. The Senator said that
he had received a private com munication
which assured him that in the judgment OF
persons whose views were entitled to re
spect, it was matter of great i'm portance
to the country for the Legislature of Missis-
sippi to be in session until after the two
Houses of Congress had met and counted
the electoral vote, and ne, therefore, urged
the adoption of the resolution. The Senate
failed to realize the inn ortance of the Sena
tors "private comm unication," and refused
to adopt the resolution.-Time1.
Senator Reyn olds offered his resolution
as "a joke" but it appears the Times
did not view it in that light. The Sen
ate fully understood it.

The $500 CAsE.-The absence of the
principal witness in the $500 bribery
case, during the entire session of the

w. D. GIBBS, ESQ.,, Tilden elector
from the 4th District, has recently re-
turned from Washington where he had
been summoned as witness before the
Senatorial Committee, and gives the
following inside view of the influences
that brought about the arbitration plan ::
Yazoo Democrat
He believes. from what he saw and heard,
that if the leaders of our party had manful-
~ stood up for their rights from first to
last, demanding nothing but their rights
and conceding nothing that is wrong or I'M
manly, that the Radical buffers would have
backed down and not have attempted to
count in or inaugurate their man. To use
his own words sit has been a game of bluff
by the Radical party, and they have made
the Democratic leaders in control believe
that it was war or Hayes, and the Northern
Democracy have preferred to TEN porze,
compromise and even sell out, rather than
resort to blows to maintain the rights and
the Constitution"

The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1877-09-29

We see by late number of
Brainerd's Musical World that Mrs.
Fanny Raymond Ritter is engaged
in the scholarly task Of translating
the complete literary works of
Schumann, one of the greatest
musicians that Germany ever pro-
duced. Mrs. Ritter's work will be
prefaced with a correct likeness
and brief but complete biography
of Schumann and the whole work
will be intersperced with explana-
tory notes, rendering the English
edition tar more complete than the
German.
No one appears better qualified
for this work than the talented lady
who has undertaken it. From her
earliest youth she received the best
musical instruction, enjoying the
benefit of such teachers as Bennett,
Hatten and others, and musical
composition she studied with Mr..
f. L. Ritter, now her husband
Mrs. Ritter in addition to her at
tainments as scholar and musician,
has great accomplishments as a
linquist, being well versed in the
languages and literature of five
European nations, and practically
acquainted with three others.
This gifted lady is the sister OF
Mrs. Isaac I. Moore, late OF this
place, now of Duluth, Mimi, and
will be remembered as having, with
her family, visited Mrs. Moore here
two or three years ago.

The charges preferred in May
last against James S. Ititchie, Dis
trict Attorney of Douglas county,
have been dismissed by the Cover
nor, with ceusure to the respondent.
We quote from the Governors de-
cision fled a few days ago with the
county clerk "Whereas after full
consideration OF SAID evidence and
arguments 1t appears that said
charges are net sustained by proofs
except in SO far as said respondent
has been guilty Of errors such as an
honest man may fall into, and which
may even sproduoe pernicious ef-
fects without being in fact great
otfenses." The charges grew ont
of the fact that Mr. Ritcliie ap-
peared as an attorney in eases where
the county was party defendant,
1t being supposed that such a course
was clearly inconsistent with his
duty towards the comfy as It's elect
ed law adviser. The principal
grounds of his defense were that he
was retained in the suits long before
he was elected district attorney and
that he offered to employ an attor-
neY to represent the county in the
cases where he was pledged and in
honor bound to appear against it.
The decision of Gov. Ludington
gives general satisfaction, and coin
cides with the verdict which the
majority of the community arrived
at long ago. No man is more te-
nacious Of bis personal rights and
the rights of his clients than Mr..
Richie, and that ho acted indis-
creetly in what he deemed to be an
honest defense Of these rights is ad-
mitted, but that he did so through
mercenary motives is not believed
by those strongest opposed to his
course.
