Miller intends "to get eren" Nth THE RErUB

DEMOCRATIC ORATORS are prone to excuse their
Southern adhercnts for violations Of human
rights because Of the alleged corruption OF Re-
publican leaders there. This isonly pretext, how
ever, that is rs fimsy as 1t is sadaeious Perhaps
there Is no man in South Carolina who stands
higher in the estimation Of his fellow-citiIens
than Hon. A. s. Wallace, member Of Congress-
With private and official record which the
breath OF suspicion never dared to faint, yet in
the recent campaign we are informed that he was
threatened and insulted wherever he went upon
the canvass Of his Congressional district and was
in all respects treated rs though he had been
corruptionist. As long rs such estimable citi-
Gems az Colonel Wallace are thus treated because
Of their political opinions, 1t will indeed be q
difieult task to mako the public believe that ST.
legged corruption was the cause Of the murders,
whippings and intimidation which have dis
graced the South for the past decade.

himself with such statement as Mr.. Barnes

In regard TO the stolen votes of Louisiana
and Florida
HAYES believes that a sense Of right and
a love Of justice sway the majority Of man
kind, and hence that to control them we
must convince their reason" The real
HAYES believes nothing of the kind. His
creed embraces two articles. He believes
that the eight spot takes the seven spot, and
he believes that all evidence which would
appeal to the reason is aliundc when it
doesn't work his way. His sense OF right Is
MADISON WELLs's sense Of right, and his
love of justice is JOE BRADLEys love Of JUS
tice.
"HAYEs's method ofelcctioneering Is TO live
an upright private and public life 10 think
and act up TO the best thought and light of
the day, to build up the best character that
he can, and then let that and his deeds plead
his cause" We fail TO recognize the real
Mr. HAYES in this description. His method
OF clcctionecring is to keep shady while the
ZACH CHANDLERs and JAY GoULDs and Re
turning Boards do the dirty work, to think
as they think and act up to their advice and
finally TO step into a stolen place as their
creature. If this is the method of honor and
TRUTH" the words honor and truth have lost
their old-timc significance
BY sending trustworthy reporter to Fro
mont or to Columbus the Times might have
learned that the real Mr. HAYES is n COM
monplace lawyer, morally and mentally
neither inferior nor superior to hundred
other lawyers Of Ohio; that he knows
enough to seek shelter when it showers, and
habtually does 80 rather than get wet and
that, while he had rather do right than do
wrong, other things being equal he has
neither the moral perception to recognize
fraud when II turks behind tcchnicalitics, nor
the backbone to act up 10 the dictates of his
conscience when conscience and interest CON
flict. This is the real Mr.. HAYES, although
IL is not the Mr. HAYES of Republican cam
paign literature, nor the Mr.. HAYES who
figures In the columns Of our respected con-
temporary.
Perhaps when the real Mr.. HAYES is finally
settled in the White House and brought face
10 face with the unpleasant responsibilities
which he accepts when he accepts a fraudu-
lent title 10 the Presidency, the Times will
scc that ii has been entirely mistaken about
him.

In estimating the character of its politi-

A disposition has been manifested on
the part Of the Republican majority in
the Senate 70 coercc the House into Il
surrender Of Il part Of It's policy of re-
trcnchmcnt, by swelling the appropriations
with amendments covering many millions
OF dollars, and taking advantage of the
closing hours Of the session to load lobbcry

oeoded in striking out ten millions Of the
economy which the House had passed over
the iactlous opposition Of the Republicans.
This year Mr. HOLMAN has labored to re-
store part Of these ten millions 80 MS to
relieve 80 much Of the public burdens. But
he was fought at every step by the Republic
cans in the House, and failing there, the
Senate are now striving 10 block the wheels

Mr.. FIELD now proposes 60 submit 10 one OF

Now, we fully agree with the Tribune that
the Commission is Court. Mr.. MATTHEW
II. CARPENTER, one OF the Tfibme's friends
from Wisconsin, Mr.. Justice BRADLEY, and
apparently all the members OF the Commits
sion, diler from us and from the TtiJuae in
this opinion.
OF course, If the Electoral Commission Is a
Court, that is the end Of the matter; for
beyond all doubt being a Court, its very
existence Is UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and all lite
proceedings are utterly void aud Of no eject.
THE judicial power of the United Stltcs.
says the Constitution, "shall bn vested in
ono Supreme Court, and in such interior
,ourts as the Congress may from time to
time ortaln AMI establish Tire Judges both
If the supreme and Inferior courts, shall
hold their offices during good behavior"
"1hc judicial power shall extend to all
,ascs arising under this Consti-
ution, the laws of the United States" &c.
Furthermore, the Constitution provides
hat "all judicial oil 'crs shall be
pound by oath, or Affirmation, TO support
his Constitution"
Further still, the Constitution provides
that the President "shall commission all
he officers OF the United States" Judges
n the Unitcd statcs Courts are officers Of
the United states.
The Electoral Commission Is a judicial
body, Court, or it is not anything. 1t has
assumed 10 discharge the very highest aud
most momcntous responsibilities that eyer
devolved upon the Supreme Court Of tho
United States; to interpret the Constitution
of the United States, as well as the laws.
The Commission il a Court, or it IS nothing.
1t is not a constitutional Court,
]. Because two-thirds Of it's members arc
also members Of the national Legislature,
and incapable of being Judges at the s-nle
time,
H. Because its Judges do not hold Office by
the tenure Of good behavior.
III. Because they have not taken An oath.
or affirmation, to support the Constitution
OF the United States, but have wilfully and
deliberately violated its requirements
". They have not been commissioned Ivy
tho President as required by the Constitu-
tion.
We agree with the Tribune, that the Elcc-
toral Commission is a Court. We think the
whole country will ultimately agree with us
In what logically and irrcsstibly follows tho
proposition that it Is a Court.
