form the Senate that our fathers intended that
the power to vitiate, n allegations of fraud or
regularity, the Electoral vote of a State, and
thus turn an election, should not be reposed in
one man? They knew it would be safer repesed
in the American congress. 1t was not designed
to commit this vast power to one man, especial
ly as that man might be the sole judge
in his own case. Divine and human law, since
the morning of time, said no man should be a
Judge of his own case, even though he sat with
others. If the President of the Senate had the
power to count the votes, q bare majority in the
senate might select a President for the secret
purpose of making the count one way. Was
such a creature of an hour a safer anchor than
the two houses of Congress-? No such action
was designed for this Republic. the only con-
siderabl3 experiment OF free government extant
on the globe. Should this experiment fail, it
would turn back the hands on the clock of ages.
At 1880 a. m. on the 25th, after an all
night session of the Senate, during which q
number of amendments were voted down, the
Electoral bill was brought to a vote and passed

Nothing Like " Science"

One-day last summer an old farmer
and wife were ii q Detroit photograph
gallery to have some pictures taken of
the wife. Before proceeding 10 bust
ness the farmer took the artist aside and
co%nidentially observed:
"The old lady was bound to come,
and I couldn't prevent, but now | want
you to do me a favor. She's got ears
like a COW, and the biggest mouth I ev-
er saw on a oma Her picture would
be a laughing-stock for all the children,
and / know she'd be sorry when too
late. Tell her that she'll take best in
cold weather, and then I'll fix the rest"
The artist performed his errand, and
the woman went away both disappoint-
ed and pleased. The other day, when
old zero was just bowling himself
hoarse, the same pair returned to the
gallery. and the farmer seated his wife
as far from the toy as possible and
ordered her to be "taken" at once.
AS the artist hurried to obey, the farm
er cornered him and whispered:
"Magnifcent and unbounded sue
cess! Mouth and ears reduced one-half
in size by the cold! Heat expands
cold contracts-go ahead afore she
thaws QUIT Hooray for science and mel"

A Thrilling Adventure.

A New Albany telegram of the 18th
says: At the time of the breakup
thirteen boys were skating on the ice
opposite this city, and two men were
walking across. The peril of these
parties was fearful for a time. The
ice. seemed to rise up fully two feet,
and broke in every direction and moved
down with greas momentum. Eleven
of the boys escaped to this shore, and
one reached the Kentucky side at West
Louisville. The other, Nick Belvey,
aged ten years, when within five feet of
the shore, lying fiat on a cake of ice, it
broke IN two, and another cake rose up
and crushed him beneath the wave, in
spite of the efforts of a party OF men
who were trying to rescue him. The
scene was fearful, and the cries and pit
iful walls of the poor boy as the ice
ground him to pieces caused strong men
to weep. The efforts of the two men
to escape were fraught with imminent
danger. One of them, Isaac b. Friens,
gave himself up 70" lost and kneit down
on the ice to pray, after bidding the
other good-by. He was induced to rise
and make another effort, and succeed
ed in reaching the shore.

The Use Of Federal Troops in the South.
A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT.


WASHINGTON, d. c., January 22.-In
reply to the resolution of the House of Repre-
sentatives, passed early in December, 1876, re-.
questing the President to transmit to that BODY
copies of all orders, or directions, emanatino
from him, or from either of the Executive De-.
partments, to any military commander, or civil
officer, relating to the service OF the army in Wiz.
ginia, South Carolina, Louisiana and Florida.
since the first OF August last. together with all
reports from any of said military or civil officers.
the President to-day sent to the House of Repre.
sentatiyes a message, accompanied by a large
mass OF Official documents called for by the res0-
luton. In reference to the sending OF troops to
the states mentioned, the President GAYS, after
enumerating some OF the sources from which he
derived information as to the necessity of Federal
aid in preserving the peace 1t is enough TO say
that these different kinds and sources of evidence
have left no doubt whatever in my mind that in
tiuiidatlon has been used, and actual violence to
an extent requiring the aid of the United States
where it was practicable to furnish such aid. In
South Carolina and Florida and in Louisiana AS
well as in Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia.
troops of the United States have been but spar.
ingly used, and in no case so as TO interfere with
the full exercise of the right OF suffrage. In no
case, except that of South Carolina, was the num-
Der of soldiers in any State increased in anticipa-
ton of the election, saving that 2t men and an
officer were sent from Fort Foote t. Petersburg,
Va, where disturbances were threatened prior
to the election. No troops were stationed at vot-
ing places in Florida and Louisiana respectively.
Small numbers of soldiers IN said States were sta
toned at such points i'll each State as were most
threatened with violence, where they might be
available as a posse for the officer whose duty it
was to preserve the peace and prevent intimida-
ton of voters. Slch a disposition Of troops
seemed to me reasonable, and justified by law
and precedent, while its omission would have
been inconsistent with the constitutional duty of
the President OF the United States, to take care
that the laws be faithfully executed. .....I have
not employed troops on slight occasions, ROT in
any case where it mas not been necessary TO the
enforcement of laws of the United States. In
this | have bean guided by the Constitution and
the laws which have been formed under it
desire to assure both Houses of Congress and the
couHtry that it has been my purpose to admins
ter the executive powers of the Government
fairly, and in no instance to disregard or tran
scend the limits of the Consti tuition.

Mississippi

Additional testimony before the commit
tee investigating the Mississippi election was
given by Representative Lynch, who stated that
over 300 Republican ballots were removed from
the box at Archer Precinct, and Democratic bal
lots inserted in lieu thereof. A. NJ Hardy, cd
itor of the Nstchez Asac South, testiItd to Demo
cratic threats and intimidation, and that he had
to leave Natchez for fear of being mobbed. M
l.. Howard. culored, OF Fayette. Jefferson
County, formerly Sheriff and a member of the
Legislature, testified to numerous instances of
intimidation and threats made by armed Demo
Gratis. The witness left Mississippi four days
before the last election, as he considered
his life in danger, and is still
afraid he would be killed should
he return to his home. Mr.. Richards, colored,
a lawyer of Claiborne ,ounty, also testified to
acts of intimi%ation by armed Democrats. W..
D.. Gibbs, Democratic candidate for Presidential
Elector, testified that he canvassed ten counties
and did not witness any intimidation; he said
that the great change in the vote since 1877 was
caused by the change of political sentiment
among the colored voters.

amended ard then passed. air. Bogy continued
his remarks in regard to Louisiana affairs, in
the course OF which he severely denounced Mr..
Packard. His remarks were loudly APP
plauded by the gallery on the right of the
Chair. and on motion of Mr.. Edmunds that gal
lery was Immediately cleared by the Sergeant
alarms. Messrs. Sherman and Morton replied
to Mr.. Bogy, defending the character OF Gov
ernor Packard. An executive session was then
charging VIM. Orion from custody, the tele.
grams called for having been produced by the

At the expiration of the morning hour, on mo-
ton Of Mr.. Edmunds, the bill reported by the
bpcCidl Coiilijltbee Il IGSdFu w the count OF the
Electoral vote was taken up. and Mr. Edmunds
made u lengthy argument in favor of its passage,
which was lii tened to attentively He said that
the tribunal to be appointed under the bill was
to decide the questions brought before
them strictly in accordance with the
law as it existed on the eth
of November. All this bill did was to prescribe
a method and ascertain what was law and fact
at that time. 1t had been said this tribunal
might go behind the returns from a State. If the
two houses of Congress had power to do that
thing the tribunal would also have such power;
but If the two houses of Congress had no right
to overhaul the action of a sovereign State, then
this tribunal would haze no such rights. Tue
agreed that this Presidential contest
must be settled upon the principles and law that
existed when it took place. Nothing could be
more fair than leaving disputed questions to such
a tribunal. 1t had been c Intended by some gena
tlemen that the Constitution committed the right
ofdeciding who should be President of the United
states to ore or more persons or bodies. If that
was true, it was fatal to this bill. The ConstituI
ton carefully enumerated every power of the
