The East Indian Famine.

The existing famine in the Madras
and Bombay rresidencies In India will
cost at least $32,oo0.0o0. Already in
Bombay an area Of 81 900 square miles
is affected, and in Madras the total area
affected is $4,000 square miles. In the
two presidencies 100000 OF human
beings are suffering. The Indian Gov
eminent, while anxious to do all in its
power, considers 1t absolutely neces,,
sary, in order to avoid national
bankruptcy, to exercise the Sc
verest economy. The people are to be
employed on relief works, but are to be
paid Only enough to give them q bare
subsistence. Private trade In grain will
not be interfered with, and the Madras
government has been censured for pur-
Chasing SC, 1000 tons Of grain at the be-
ginning OF the scarcity. Sir Richard
Temple says the Bombay officials have
the famine well in hand, but that mat
ters are less satisfactory In Madras,
where he found disposition to expend
excessive sums and to admit to the
relief works without exacting the proper

Tw0 POINTS.
which IL will be DisEies,lt So Get over In
the Louisiana case.

IA. Y. SUM-
There are two legal points In the Lou
isiana case which will require the attenl-
tion Of Mr.. Justice Bradley, the Presi-
dent maker.
If the Electoral Commission holds In
regard to Louisiana, as 1t held in regard
TO Florida. that it has power only TO de-
termins whether the forms OF the state
laws have been complied with, and mas
no concern with the honesty or dishon--
esty OF the certified returns, 1t must
nevertheless go far enough to ascertain
what the State law is.
II Mr., Justice Bradley takes the trou-
bio to refer to the Louisiana statutes,
he will find that the election law OF 1872
declares that the Returning Board shall
consist OF five persons. to be elected by
the Senate from all political partiess,'
and that 'in case Of any vacancy, by
death, resignation, or otherwise, by
either OF the board, then t no vacancy
shall be filled by the residue Oh the
board" A vacancy was made In the
board more than two years ago by the
resignation Of Mr.. Oscar Arroyo, who
had become disguised with the shame
lsss dishonesty OF his associates. Ihis
vacancy has never been filed. II Mr..
Justice Bradley will go to the addition
nj trouble OF looking up the common
law on the subject, he will find that this
| failure TO obey the positive mandate OF
the cot takes from the SO called Return
| ing Board any authority which It might
have II properly constituted. Tho Tour
| men. Wells, Anderson, Casanaye ana
Kenner, were not Returning BOARD.
| They were incompetent to canvass any
vote whatever.
In the second place. even II the Re-
turning Board had been properly con.
stitI1ted and competent to act, it had
no authority under the State law to
canvass the vote for presidential cleo
tors. In no way, either directly or by
| implication, do the Louisiana statutes
empower the Returning Board to can
yass the electoral vote or decide what
electors have been legally chosen. The
| law of 1872 makes no provision 1or the
| appointment OF presidential electors,
nor does it authorize the Returning
| Board to count votes for them. The
| only provision for tho count OF the
electoral vote is found In the repealed
law Of 1870. which declares that the
returns shall DO canvassed by the Gov
ernor, in the presence OF the Secretary
of State, the Attorney General DIS
trict Judge of the New Orleans Dis
trict, or any two of these officers. -,
There has been no canvass OF the
electoral vote Of Louisiana. The pre-
tended canvass made by the four ras
Gals who are now imprisoned at Wash
ington has no more legal weight thar
it has moral weight.
l. we hope, for his own sake, that Mr.
TJustice Bradley will refer to the Lou
isiana statutes before making up hi
mind to vote again with the seven mel
