POLITICAL.

The Washington correspondent Of the Cincin
matt Commercial says that there are large numbers
of democrats who speak slightingly of Mr.. Tilden
and many who are not seeking Office and residents
of the South who express a preference for Gov.
Hayes for President, believing that his admins
tration would be more beneficial to the South than
Mr. Tilden's.
The failure Of the democratic press 10 comment
upon the testimony Of Gen. Anderson to the effect
that Senator Robinson offered him 500 900 to
count in the democratic ticket in Louisiana leads
one TO conclude that there was no improperly in
the act, and that Gen. Anderson is only to be
blamed for not accepting the offer. The public
however, would like to know if the money upon
which the offer was based came from the same
source as the Oregon bribery fund.-Bost0H Jour
nal
The following in relation TO the compromise
bill is from one Of Grao Greenwoods letters
"The democrats now speak of the measure as "a
| mutual concession, little leaning TO the Hayes
side, but fair upon the whole Apropos of this,
heard a little story, which hope will not prove
ancient to your readers, as an illustration An
honest old Georgia negro on his way home from
market, where he had been to sell chick
ems, and where he had sold all of his lot
except one, encountering shrewl white
| acquaintance, who, looking the chicken,
and finding it goody, ceolly proposed to put it up
to be played for in game of euchre. The owner
being guileess and piou, African hoping all
things, believing all things'-assented. They had
a small game and the black man lost. As he took
the stake fine fat pullet, rather reluctantly from
his basket and handed it over to the winner, the
latter chez fily remarked at was a fair game,
you know, Uncle 20 yes, Sar, | 'spect it was,
replied the bewildered loser, scratching his head ;
"a fair game-but den, pears to me you didn't pm :
nothn' up az in dat dar chicken"

1t gives us pleasure to notice as we do
by the Boston papers, that Mr.. Joseph
Bartlett, who was for time editor of the
Bangor Wing and Courier and subse-
quently one of the editors of the New
York Evening Post, has become editor-in-
chief of the Boston Traveller, having en-
tered upon the duties of that position yes
terday In his case merit and ability are
receiving the recognition due TO them.
Mr.. Bartlett has his home in the town of
Litchfeld in Kennebec county. lie made
his mark in the late Presidential campaign
as a political writer. During the fall he
accepted situation as one of the editors
of the Traveller, and now takes the fore
most place upon it. He is a man of cul-
ture. able with the pen, sagacious in pol
itics. honorable, without flaw or stain in
his character. Some of the papers speak
of him as having been private secretary
to Mr.. Blaine, but this is erroneous

A brief statement of the position main
tanned by republicans before the commits
sion is made by Tribune writer as fol-
lows: "What they assert is, that there is
no power to 60 beyond the authoritative
and final declaration of the result of
an election by State authority. The Gov
ernor's certificate is not an essential part
Of that declaration. II is required not by
State law, but by the United States stat
ute. 1t may be a false certificate, as is
that o: Gov. Grover. Congress, and
therefore the Commission. is not bound TO
accept it as conclusive. The purpose OF
the count is to ascertain what was the de-
clared will of the State as announced by
the authority created by its laws to can
vass and determine the vote for electors,
and the Commission can go beyond the
returns to ascertain what was the act OF
that authority, but not step further
There is the line which divides the Gener.
al Government and the State Government
In Oregon the canvassing authority was
not the Governor, but the Secretary OF
State; in Florida, it was not the Cover
nor. but the Canvassng Board. The re-
publican theory, therefore, is that the Com.
mission may do everything necessary to
learn the legal State authority vested with
the power TO determine the result of the
election and what the action of that au-
thority was; but that they cannot 90 a
step farther without invading the rights
of the State"
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1877-02-07

The question before the commission on
the electoral count is, as stated by Mr..
Stanley Mathews in his cogent remarks,
mot which set of electors in Florida receiv-
ed majority of popular votes, nor which
set appears from the returns of votes made
at the primary polling places to have had
q majority, but which set, by the actual
declaration of the official authority OF the
State charged with that duty, has become
clothed by the forms of law with actual
incumbency and possession of the office. "

While Mr.. Evarts' address before the
Commission went directly to the merits OF
the case In controversy, and was confined
strictly to the points involved. the ad-
dress of Mr.. O'Connor was largely made
up of batteries to tickle the ears of the
members of the Commission. and instruct.
ing them that they have very important
case to deal with. Evarts made the argu-
ment, and O'Connor put his trust in
palaver and barney.
