JUDGE MACKEY,S DECISION.

The points of Judge Mackey's recent
decision that Gen. Hampton is the lawful
Governor of South Carolina are given in
another column. The decision was filed
on Saturday last, and has appeared in
full in the Columbia Register. The issue
is squarely joined, and this important
question must be speedily settled by the
Supreme Court. Every interest of the
State is dependent in some measure upon
the decision as to who is the righttul
Governor, and its pressing importance
will not admit much longer delay. The
voters decided in favor of Wade Hamp-
ton, and every Circuit Court has either
recognized him as the Governor elect or
affirmed the choice of the people, where
the issue has been made. Even Judge
Carpenters decision does not deny that
Hampton was legally elected, but goes
off upon the idea that he was not proper
ly installed into Office. The contumacy
of the Senate in refusing to recognize the
legal House of Representatives afforded
an opportunity for Judge Carpenter to
get astride this question, and his entire
decision rests upon the failure to give
the usual notification to the Senate, when
it is notorious fact that the Republican
Senators were exercising an arbitrary
force in preventing the delivery of mes
sage of any kind from the Wallace House
of Representatives.

1t has been hinted to us that the effect

1t has been hinted to US that the effect
of Judge Carpenters decision would
operate against the collection of the ten
per cent. contribution on account OF
taxes. So far as we know, this effect has
not been produced in any quarter, but it
may be we'll to state that the decision of
Judge Carpenter plainly recognizes the
House of Representatives presided over
by Speaker Wallace as the only lawful
organization of that kind in the STATE, in
which he sustains the decision of the Su-
preme Court, as in duty bound. The
House of Representatives is the origina-
tor of all tax measures, and it is not at
all likely that the Wallace House will
even stultity itself by repudiating Abe TAX
receipts issued under its authority. The
payment of ten per cent. was authorized
by the lawful House Of Representatives,
and we cannot understand that any solu-
tion of the question as to who is Gov
ernor could be made to effect the validity
of the tax receipts issued under resolu-
tions adopted by the House.

THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION.

The joint convention of the Senate and
House of Representatives met on Thurs
day last, under the provisions of the
electoral law recently enacted by Con-
gress. The count of the electoral vote
proceeded without any trouble or inter-
ruption through the States of Alabama,
Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connec-
ticut and Delaware, and when the vote
of Florida was reached, objection was
made by the Democrats against the
count for Hayes and Wheeler, which OBJ
lection was submitted in writing by
David Dudly Field, of New York. In
accordance with the provisions of the
Electoral bill, the duplicate returns and
the objections, together with other pa
pers, were referred to the Electoral Com
mission, which met in the afternoon and
proceeded at once to discharge the duty
imposed upon them to hear and deter
mine all matters in dispute relating to the
vote for President and Vice President.
Both parties are represented before the
commission by able lawyers-the Demo
Gratis by Judge Jeremiah S. Black, Chas.
O'Conor, Matt. Carpenter and Ex-Sena-
tor Trumbull, and the Republicans by
VIM. M. Evarts, E. w. Stoughton, and
others. The commission has been close
ly engaged upon the Florida vote since
Thursday, and it is thought that con-
clusion will be reached to-day. 1t is
useless to conjecture as to the probable
action of the commission, or to speculate
upon the consequences of their decision.
The weighty issue will be settled within
a few days, and we have the utmost con-
fidence in the certainty of triumph for
Mr.. Tilden, who has justice, right and
law in his favor.
