This eminent body of gentlemen, created
by an amendment of the election law by the
Odd Fellows Hall body, and comprised Of
Messrs. Wiltz, Bush, zacharie and Robert.
son, having adopted the blank forms in use
by the legal board, are now making pro-
mitigation of the result of the election, ac-
Cording TO the papers filsd with the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee. 1t is I'M
derstoOd that as soon as they have COM
pleted that portion of the work upon which
they are now engaged, they will make re-
canvass of the electoral vote of the State,
which will be fled with the Speaker of the
House of Representatives, for use at the
joint session of Congress q month from to-

intimidation of voters in the South are not
set aside, even then Rutherford B.
Hayes is entitled to the honor of
chief executive Of the nation. If there
were more men in Congress of
not quite go lofty ideas from the humble
walks of life than that of some of the
learned professions, more pratical good
sense and, at least, as much honesty must
be applied to great national questions. l
was made aware of this by the sound solid
reasoning and plain practical way of inter-
ing great truths teeming with sharp power
full arguments that were promulgated BY
William A. Phillips, of Kansas, in the House
of Representatives last Thursday. This
gentleman has been close observer of
men, of rare good common sense, and, if
mistake not was raised in the school of
journalism. He is one who severely de-
nounces this disposition to effervesce the
moment the late Presidential election comes
up in Congress.
As he looks at this question honestly and
from the facts before him, the crude ideas
of the power of the House, assumed by the
Democrats, are ridiculous to him. He
struck the keynote of the Democratic plan
in this case when he informed their party
that, being long out of power, but having
succeeded in gaining possession of one
branch of Congress, they make haste to
arrOgate to it all the powers of government,
legislative, executive and judicial. The
OutgrO with of this truth of Mr.. Phillips re-
suits in Democratic propositions, v hich are
disturbing elements and nothing else.
They raise questions that are entirely
unnecessary, and beside feeding fuel to
the flames, are dishonest Democratic
tricks so that, in their desperation,
the taste of power which they temporarily
enjoy by q Democratic majority in the
lower legislative branch may not be lost.
The Democrats, in their mad haste to bring
this about, care little whether this country
is Mexicanizsd or not. Their insane idea
is that the whole American people would
be willing to live in revolution in order
| that a host of Democratic hungry Office
seekers may get their clutches on the pub
lie treasury and feast and fstten thereon.
The Thousand aHd one schemes for counting
in Democratic President may satisfy the
politicians who expect great things from
Mr.. Tilden, but outside of officeholders un
der Democratic House of Representatives
1 can learn nothing Of such theories, making
very wonderful impression upon the pub
lie mind. The men, together with the Dem
OcrAtic politicians, believe, and think sin
cerely, because of their infatustiOn witt
power, that the people of the country viii
engage in a civil war, Mexicanize this re
public, ruin the government entirely be
cause, forsooth, Democrat lOoses wha
Office he has, and is prevented from obtain
Ing others which he and his co-laborer
have no right to hold. D. D. G.

Members Of the House Investigating com.
mittee having found fanlt with the manner
in which the Returning Board furnished
duplicate copies of their papers, President
Wells yesterday addressed the following
communication to the chairman:
oyvIoR BOARD or RHruRNINa CpYrcERs,
New Orleans, January H. 1877. )
Hon. ". R. Morrison, Chairman House Committee
on Louisiana Affairs
SrR-I have been much surprised to hear,
unoficially, during the past few days, that
yourself and the members Of the committee
Of which You are the Q. Airmen, were under
the impression that the Board Of Returning
Officers of this State had refused to attest
or certify to copies of documents and teg-
timOny which had been prepared in 40
oordanOe with the terms of an agreement
between your committee and this board.
dasire to state that the copies of dOcu-
ments and testimony sought by the commit
tee, as indicated BY your several communi-
cations, were made as rapidly as possible,
and were delivered in the following man
ner:
Copies Of documents and testimony per
tanning to several parishes we're delivered
to Mr. Mead, member Of your COMMITTEES,
at his special request, without atteatAtion,
for the reason thas he desired them for use
upon the following morning, 81 SIX O'CLOCK.
His attention was called TO the fact that
the board was expected TO attest the copies
before delivery, but he remarked that that
was immaterisl for the present, and asked
that the documents be delivered 20 him
then, to be Rttested afterward If found
necessary.
Under like circumstances all copies com
pleted BY the clerical force on the twenty
seventh day of December hat were upon
the evening Of that day delivered to the
ChRirman Of your honorable committee
without attaatation.
The desire Of the board was 70 acc0mmo-
date the Wishes Of the committee as TO the
order and manner Of the delivery Of the
work, and they have certainly never re-
fused to attest the work, but have merely
consented TO its delivery aa above set forth.
The beard IL now ready q httent any and
all documents and testimony 30 delivered
Whenevee the same shall ho presented 20
them for that purpose, and they now ask
that an such unaffected copies may be 80
turned to them for the aflestation of the
same. Very respectfully,

10 shake the dust Of illinois from his feet aud
seek further political pabulum 10 the green
fields and pastures new Of Colorado, where he
thinks his bellowiog. but boodess braVado
will be better appreciated than in the more
thickly settled States. AS President Hayes
would not crafty his wish to be sent out of the
county, and as his presence is rs diSagrceable
as the sight oil scar, We hope he may 60 TO

hear that he was going TO Alaska. Logan is

Methodist Conventions.

AT the session Of the Methodist Convention
in Baltimore, yesterday morning, it was au-
nounced that the conference committee On basis
of reunion had not yet consulted with the
Methodist Protestant conference committee
and was therefore not ready to report. The
committee had como to conclusion as to what
course to pursue 10 tho reunion, and only
awaited meeting with the Methodist Protes-
tant committee Oh conference TO reunite the
churches.
At the afternoon session the secretary read
communication from the ommitee of the gen.
eral conference Of the NJ. K. Church Of the
United States, stating that at the general con-
ference May 81, 1876, q resolution was adopted
declaring it desirable to hold an ccumenical
conference of Methodism. The paper was re-
terred.
Rev. Mr.. Stackbouse, Of Indiana, offered a
resolution that the Methodist Church 10 unit
Jog with the Methodist Protestant retain its
character as distinct organization and hold all
its property as now, and that the matter be re-
terred to committee Of five, which was laid
upon the table.
Attic Methodist Protestant convention the
principal part of the session was consumed 10 o
discussion OF the power and authority OF the
convention to alter or amend the constitution OF
the Church. The matter OF reunion was re-
ferred to the committee oE conference.
A discussion 90 compilation OF q general
hymnal for the two Churches 10 the event Of
reunion consumed the greater part Of the time.
The convention then adjourned until to-day,
when the report Of the committee on confer
enoe will be presented.

The banking house Of Drexel, Morgan & Co.,
of New York, offer to discount the pay oerth'
Gates of the officers aud enlisted men OF the
army at the rate of six per cent per annun,
provided that they can be secured from loss
through any dishonesty Of the party to whom
the money is advanced. Secretary McCrary
regards the proposal fayorably, but says that
the transaction must be between the soldier
and the banking house, and that the Govern
ment can assume no responsibility in the prem
ises. The pay certificates Of the officers will be
made out as usual, and an endorsement will be
put upon them to the effect that they are COR
rect and would be paid if Congress had made
the necessary appropriations. When thus en-
dorsed the above named bankers will discount
them at the rate Of six per cent. per annum'
The literal meaning Of which is that the Exec
utive can maintain the army iu time Of peace
without the consent Of Congress, as-l that the
constitution, in this as ia any other respect that
may suit the purposes Of the radicals, is dead
