made, but one result could have been
attained. Both Florida and Louisiana
must have been rejected from the count
for want of legal return, and that had
to be provided against There was but
one way to count those States for
Hayes; that was to forbid all inquiry
and TO take the returns of the return
boards and declare them to be lawful
regardless of justice
That the nation will be shocked at
this decision is but the truth that must
more and more terribly impress itself
upon parties and upon administrations,
AZ the full measure Of its assault upon
tho very life Of free institutions be-
comes irrevocable history, That the
Judgment was reached without inten.
tional perhdy to law or justice by the
judicial members Of tho tribunal we do
not question; but who can estimate
the depth or breadth of the wound that
a government Of law receives by the
appalling lesson that it has no tribunal
into which the political spoiler cannot
drag his pollution A State that voted
by thousands for Mr.. ridden; whose
electoral vote was Haunted for barter on
the streets like tho charms other whose
steps lead unto death; whose laws were
violated by revolution and actual fraud
in open day; whose lesser usurpatlons
in past contests have been spurned IRON
the Senate and from the House and pro
nounced a shameupon civilizatlon;whose
officials from whom the accepted returns
have come, must be strangers at the door
ofthe power to be created 10y their crimes
and henceiorth wanderers from the rs
I sociations of men--this State has beer
? made to decide presidential contcs
by a return that no judge dared to even
. look upon, and by declared compute

board conceals from the country at tn
! cost Of Imprisonment,
But it is final, and it is best that it j
so. The tribunal was born in the sor

THERE will be n feeble stand made

the friends of Mr.. Tilden on Oregon
but none but the widest dreamer or
the most obstinate fatalist could hope
that tribunal that closed its eyes to
the flooding rottenness that swept out
the stencil of the Louisiana returns to
offend the nostrils of every honest man,
will pause over the himsy legal barriers
which oppose giving to Hayes the only
disputed State to which he is clearly
entitled. The decision in the Florida case
purposely remove every obstacled in the
way of counting the needed one hund.
red and eighty five electoral votes for
Hayes. 1t did not necessarily involve
all the issues of Louisiana and Oregon
but the tribunal pointed out for its
pursuit the only path that could posi-
bly, lead it to the judgment that all
now will confess was predetermined by
the partisan predictions of the ma
jority of the commission. 10 say that
the tribunal has met just public expec-
tations in the scope Of its inquiries
would be n mistake. 1t was confidently
believed by the overwhelming majority
of the American people who sim
cerely desired the honestly elected
president to be commissioned gthat the
high court would inquire into the
fidelity Of the official acts of the return
boards to the laws of their respective
States If they possessed the legal
powers which they so recklessly and
fraudulently exercised their returns
could not be inquired into in the pend
ing dispute; but if they usurped pow
ers forbidden by the laws which created
them and defined the scope of their
authority, It was not only the right but

Great Land Nuit-Estats OF the Alleged
Murderer OF Helen Jewett Involved.

From Texas Correspondent of the Repub-
lean.
While at Marshall few DAYS ago
met an attorney who was engaged in
hunting up testimony to be used in a
suit growing out of the estate of Colonel
Richard Parmlee Robinson, who was
tried in New York in 1886 upon the
charge of having murdered Dorcas
Doyen, known in history as Helen jew
ett Robinson was acquitted by the
jury but the case had become so widely
known the beauty of the woman and
the brutal character of the murder COM
bined to make Robinson odious and he
left New York and settled in the edge
OF the then small city of Chicago upon
farm Of three hundred and twenty
acres of land which he purchased But
the story of Helen Jewett followed him
there, and he removed to Texas in
about 1888, and settled near the present
site Of Marshall. Here he dropped tho
Robinson and was known as Richard
Par nleo. He soon married, and at the
time of his death, which occurred about
twenty years ago, was the father Of ono
child.
The widow afterwards married Judge
VIM. B, Ochiltcee, q distinguished
lawyer, who died in 1866. About the
time of the death of Judge 0chiltree
the widow and daughter brought suit for
the 800 acres of land in Chicago, which
was held by parties there under mort
gage-or rather the foreclosure of q
mortgage The property was valued at
millions, and the occupants made
bitter fight, and the widow and daughter
lost their suit But before their suit
was concluded, other parties appeared
and set up claim to the ground upon
an absolute conveyance from Robinson
or Parmlee.
This gave the case new phase, and
the defendants at once procured the
indictment Of the new plaintiffs upon
tho charge Of forgery. The attorney
has succeeded in procuring testimony
which fully establishes the genuineness
not only of the signature of Robinson
but of one Of the subscribing witnesses
Mr.. James Gray. II is also proved that
Robinson was crippled in his righthand,
which caused him to write with his left
hand, thus changing the character of
his chirography. 1.-THE testimony pans
out as is hoped by tho attorney whom
met, Chicago will again DO convulsed
with real estate litigation.
