MischiefBrewing Bourbons.

The truth fully known will put the people
on their guard. For this reason It might as
we'll be announced now that the Bourbon
leaders are bent on delectable mischief in the
electoral fight.
The announcement made by the Committee
on the Powers and Privileges of the House,
through Proctor Knott, is the determined
scheme of the Bourbon conspirators. 1t con-
cedes to the House of Representatives the
power to reject, on its own motion, any vote or
any number of votes. In other words, 1t gives
the House the privilege of making Presi-
dent. Now the question is, will the American
people, who have already by the constitutional
mode chosen their President, submit to such
high-handed villainy as is embodied in this
proposition. 1t is the determined Democratic
plan, and the people must either accede to it
or by opposing destroy this and all future at
tempts of political intriguers to override the
Constitution and ignore traditional powers
and presidents.
The Democracy by this extreme and radical
position are envsporing the clouds Of inferno
cine war which may break upon our country
in all their devastating fury. II It comes to
this, then awful responsibility will rest upon
their heads.

The Strength OF President.EIect
Hayes.


The Democrats call President-elect Hayes q
weak man. This is simply the careless tonguing
of men. It is q scream for party's sake.
They know better, and every time they make
the assertion that he is q plisble character
they are conscious that 1t s . falsehood.
The whole life of this great man, and es-
pecislly his department during the heated
contest for Governor, and again for the Presi-
dency, shows that he Is positive man, quick
to comprehend, courageous to act, and firm
as q rock, but not vindictive. Throughout
the hotly-contested political fight now raging
he has borne himself with a manhood devoid
ofbypocrisy and deceit. He has heart filed
with all the nobler impulses of humanity, and
. mind richly endowed with broad and liberal
views. He is just the man for the emergency,
and will stand firm as the eternal hills for
justice and the right.
There 10 another Characteristic which makes
the President-elect . safe and strong man in
this conflict. He has won the confidence Of
the Southern people, and they will rejoice
greater at his Inauguration than they possibly
could do in the Inauguration of Mr.. Tilden.
He told them in his letter of acceptance that
he will "regard their truest interests, the
interests of the white and of the colored peo-
pie, both and equally, and will put forth his
best efforts In behalf Of civil policy which
will wipe out forever the distinction between
North and South in our common country"
Wher he ssid these things to Southern
men he meant just what he uttered, and they
are satisfied that the policy which he indicated
will be faithfully and honestly carried out.
Southern men have followed the lead of the
riff raft Bourbons long enough. They feel this,
and are now deserving them.

Words of Wfsd0m.

Hon. Gslushs A. Grow, e1-Speaker of the
House of Representatives, and one of the
ablest statesmen in the nation, has recently
written letter to the New York Tribune on
the electoral count and the powers of Con-
gress In the case. In speaking of the duties
of the presiding officer Of the Upper House,
he says:
The President of the Senate as the custodian
ofthe returns, and in the receiving and opening,
land in everything that he has to do with them, }
f an Snciai created Dy the Oonstuon ITSELF t
either House or Of the two Houses so as to be sub
Joint rule or positive law. For he could perform
the duty thus assigned him Just as we'll at the
Clerks desk as in the presiding officers chair
The Senate, If the above view is correct, cannot
by itself give any specific directions instruc-
tions to the person who receives and opens the re-
turns because it happens to be their presiding
duty. Much less can the House, by itself, give
any instructions, for the person so designated has
no connection whatever with their body.
In the absence Of any legislation or concurrent
action of the two Houses, how is the mandate of
unless it is done by the person whom the Consti-
tuition has selected to receive and open them
especially when no one else is specifically d.
reoted to do it; and it is neither peryersion Of
language nor forced construction for him to do it.
The requirement that the certificates shall be
opened in the presence Of the Senate and House
either House than does a law that requires an
election board to conduct precinct election in
the presence OF supervisors appointed by the
visors TO count the votes and declare the result.
Yet the board must perform that duty in the
presence of the supervisors, Who however, have
the vote.
In referring to the possibility Of failure to
elect he says: GLOW is it possible that
there can be failure to elect, when in the
present case all the States appointed electors,
for there is no claim that there was a tie vote
in any State, and there is an odd number OF
electors, and but two candidates voted for in
the Electoral College. One or the other must
of necessity have a majority. A failure to de-
clare which of them does not change the fact
that there has been an election by the States,
and If there has the House has no power to
elect"
And certainly it will not be claimed on any
principal of Constitutional right that the
House may assume the power to reject the
vote of State entitled 10 representation in the
Electoral College so as thereby to invest itself
with the power to elect President. If SO,
then in any election where the majority of the
House were of different political sentiment
from the candidate elected by the States, they
would only have to exclude of the votes re-
turned enough so that the successful candi-
date would not have majority of the whole
number 6f electors, and then the House could
elect the minority candidate. The dangers
apprehended from an exercise of the power to
count and declare the result by the President
of the Senate, even if fully realized, could not
be greater than would be this perversion Of
power.

A DAY or two since we said that the following
volume, hitherto stolen from the Congressional
Library by Fernando Wood, had been returned:
WOOD; (Ferndndo)
villainies Of Fernando Wood, 8yo. New
York; Observation-Disclosures Pamphlets
Desiring to verify the correctness of our inform
ants statement we called upon one Spofford, the
lady-like Librarian Of Congress, and requested
the book for perusal. Spoford suddenly became
very nervous, and instead of making q clean
breast of it, and confessing that Fernando
Wood had stolen the book, he declared
that the volume was in the library, and in
that nervous, old-msidenish sort of fashion which
is his principal characteristic ordered one Of his
colored messengers 20 bring the book. The latter
disappeared. and for fifteen minutes hunted
among the shelves for the stolen work, but to no
purpose. He returned, perspiring freely after
the exercise, md informed Sporord that the book
was not in the Library.
ssSomebody has anticipated you" said Spoford
to us, Icoquettishly: 'the book is out"
sswho has 1t ~ we asked.
81 don't know" he replied, snappishly, and If
knew wouldn't tell you. Those things are conf
Dental"
Rhe last words were uttered so saucily that we
made our exit hastily.
OF course Spofford knew very well that the
book in question was not in the Library, but, on
the contrary, was still in the possession of the
larcenous Fernando, where 1t is likely to remain
until the thief is arrested and the stolen prop
erty recovered. We call upon the Library Com
mittee to investigate this matter. 1t stands to
reason that If Sponord winks at the larceny Of
this work he is not fit to occupy the responsible
position he does. Can the Library Committee
have confidence in . man who stand. BY and sees
the peoples property stolen without even enter
ing feeble protest. We hope that the Library
Committee will not be swsysd fron the fulfill
nent Of its duty By Spsaprd's Honaaly WsyI.

Shall They Come?

IT LOOKS NOW AS IL THE MUCH-TALKBp-oF CON-
vENTIoN OF DEMOCRATS IN THIS CITY WILL
NOT TAKE PLACE-coL. FELTON, AUTHORITY FOR
THE STATEMENT THAT TILpEN DON'T WANT
ANY SUCH NONSENSE.
Mr.. Abram s. Hewitt, after due consultation
with Samuel ]. Tilden, has issued a call to the
members of the National Democratic Executive
Committee, and a meeting of that organization
will be held at his house on K street tomorrow
evening at o'clock. The principal subject that
will come up for the consideration of the commit
tee will be the proposed call for a national con-
venton to be held in this city the 18th proIimo
As has already been stated in these columns, Mr.
Hewitt is strongly opposed to issuing the call, and
there is the best of authority for stating that his
opposition is inspired by the man who aspires to
seat In the White Householder. Mr.. Pelton
yesterday stated to several prominent Democrats
that he had full knowledge Of Mr.. Tildens views
upon the subject and that he knew he would
gravely discountenance any movement which
might be construed by the country to the detri-
ment Of the Democratic party, as a gathering Of
the nature contemplated by those who advocate
the call surely would be. Mr.. Pelton also pre-
diets, with considerable emphasis, that the idea
Of holding Democratic national convention here
at the time named will not be seriously enter
tanned by the Executive Committee, and as he is
secretary of the organization it is to be presumed
that he knows whereof he speaks. The proba-
bilities now are that Watterson and the other
"Wah" gentlemen will take back seat for q short
time, while the cooler-headed managers of the
party run the machine for awhile.

ing. he does not know what compromise

when the Knights Of the Golden Circle threat
ened bis life II he did not stay the hand he
had raised against them. To him the Consti-
tuition and traditional powers of that instru-
mept are shove the contemplate and odious
farce of compromise. He does not believe in
making Presidents by the dice-bo1 or by draw
ing lots. His voice has always been raised in
defense of the Constitution, and now he con-
sistently claims the right of the President of
the Senate to open and count the votes,
The Joint committee, it is said, will vote to.

The Grave OF AgamemnOn.

DR.. Schliemann, with spade in hand, tips
his hat to the world as he stands on the ruins
at Ny Kenea, and says: "Behold the grave of
Agamemnonp The real, genuine grave of
Homer's Agsmemnon, the king of men, now
altogether dead in the flesh, but alive in the
spirit and immortal in epic poetry in the tale
of "Troy Besieged," he has at last discovered
deep down in the folds of mother earth. At
least, he has the impression that it is the
tomb of Agamemnon. 1t has kingly, gor-
geous appearance, and has cost the Doctor
time and trouble enough to be the genuine
article anyway Intense interest is being
taken in this uncovering of the buried mys-
teries of the lost Troy, by the indefatigable
German, and Homer's Illiad is once more in
great demand. 1t is q long, tedious task
which the Doctor has undertaken, and
although he did not succeed at first, still he
has been willing to Troy, Troy again, and with
better success.

WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON says that the co.,

cratic party as their relentless enemy-at all
times, under all circumstances, in every issue,
and to the full extent of its supremacy. Ruled
by the slave power when slavery existed, ever
ready to make any concessions demanded by It, in
sympathy with the rebellion from the time Of the
firing upon Fort Sumter until the surrender Of
Lee, opposing every measure necessary to the
success Of the loyal cause. condemuing alike the
proclamation Of emancipation and the Constitu-
tional amendments in furtherance of the rights
Of all classes-it still retains its base subservi
ency to the South; and, deaf as an adder, it will
not hear blind as bat, It will not see; insensbls
as O stone, it will not acknowledge anything Of
wrong done to Southern freedmen, but treats
with levity and contempt every statement made

are fated to endure.
