For some time past the Ottawa Literary Socl'
ETY. have been holding their meetings at private
residences OF the members and also at the
homes Of the members friends, which have been
very interesting aud instructive. On last Mon
day evening large number met at the residence
of Thomas Spencer. and the exercises were cx.
celcnt and entertaining. The president being
absent the meeting was called to order by the
vice president, Mr.. Payne, ana the following

Stripped of all surpernuous verbiagc, the
decision of the electoral commission is, that
under the constitution of the United States
there is no authority lodged in any depart
ment of the government to inquire and ascer-
tain whether certain person has been fraudu-
lently or fairly elected to the presidency.
Though one candidate may receive the whole
$3.50 electoral votes 10y fair, honest and indis.
putable vote of the people, if the opposing
minority can trump up returning boards in
enough states to certify to fraudulent returns
for 1856 electors, and get the governors certf.
cate to such returns, the fraudulent candidate
must be declared elected. Itmakes no differ
ence if the returning boards are legally or
fraudulently constituted according to the laws
of the states, the governors certificates make
the fraud invincible; or if the governors Ger,
iiica,e ana the returning board are ia con-
nict, then the certificate of the returning
board must prevail, as IN Oregon or the gov.
errors certificate is omnipotcnt, as in Loulsi-
ana and Florida. The old law maxim, that
fraud vitiates everything is reversed, and In
stead of it the principle is established that
lie is as good as the truth, If well stuck to.

The local authorities al San Francisco have
of late been investigating the last November
election frauds In that city, and after going
over about third of the polls fraudulent
votes to the number of 1905 have been dis
covered. 1t is estimated that the entire city
will show fraudulent vote of from 5000 to
10000. AS the majority for Hayes was uneX-
pectedly greater by some 1000 votes in San
Francisco last November than any one antic.
ipated it is easy to tell for whom these fraud
u!ent votes were Cast, as we'll rs what Morton
did with the enormous sums Zach Chandler
sent him to help Hayes in California. AS
the state was carried for Hayes by but 1900
majority, there is thus no question but that
California quite as well as Louisiana and
Florida contributed decisively to Hayes
fraudulent election.

Hayes, to complete his bargain with the
southern members Of congress, to give them
a cabinet officer for helping the republicans
of the house to put through the frauds of the
electoral commission, has given James M.
Key, of Tennessee, a democrat, the appoint
ment of Postmaster General. In all the fii-
teen southern states there could not be found
one republican fit to hold cabinet appoint
ment. But will casting tub to the whale in
this way conciliate the south, convert the
southern democrats into republicans and
make them supporters of Hayes admins
tration? The idea is too absurd to talk
about. Key, to hold his place In the cabinet,
must repudiate his democracy and apostatze
to the opposite party. That Is exactly what
Stanton, and John A. Dix, and half dozen
of other democrats did who were given places
in the cabinet by Lincoln and Grant. They
became indeed the most venomous enemies
of their former party associates OF any in the
cabinet.

GRANGER DECISIONS.

The supreme court OF the U. s., on the 81

that il the power to regulate 'he charges Oh
elevators EXISTS at all, the right to establish
the maximum of charges, as one OF the means
Of regulation, is necessarily implied; that In
fac, the CANNON law rale which requires
charges to be reasonable, is itselfa regulation.
and that therefore this power cannot be dis
nu,ed The decision is that the Illinois
warehouse law IS not repugnant to the con-
sti,ut;on of the United States, and that there
IA no error in the judgment of the state courts.
The other decision involves the constitution
alitv of the Wisconsin Potter railroad law.
The court fully sus'ans the power of the
state to fix the maximum charges of railroad
freigh,s and fares In that state. There were
no less than eight other cases-from Iowa,
Indiana, &c, before the court, involving the
same questions, all of which were decided
upon the same principles. In the Mum case
the court take this ground, which is certain
ly broad enough to satisfy any granger;

stands in mortal fear of assassination, and
never ventures out of doors pnaccompanied

has no foundation outside of his own con-
