The Presidential question was virtually
decided in the Louisiana decision OF the
commission. We are strong Republicans
and voted for Mr.. Hayes, for he best rep
resented our ideas of Government on true
Republican principles, and of course it
would be according to our wishes to see
him inaugurated as President. Still we
have few words to say about it. We
believe that If the blacks could have
voted freely, independently, with no one to
modest them, majority of the Southern
States would have voted for Mr.. Hayes.
1t does not hold to reason, that the party
that wished to extend and perpetuatc
slavery, that raised such howl Of mdig-
nation, at the emancipation proclamation,
the party that has in every way rendered
all acts and laws that give the blacks the
the right To vote, imperative, the
party that still considers them chattleS,
and beneath them, it certainly does not
look as if they would elect this same old
power to reign over them, if left alone,
and we do not believe they would.
According to the best evidence we can
find Il majority of the votes in Louisiana
were cast for Mr.. Tildcn, by the force
that was brought to bear on the blacks,
and the whole matter rests with the
returning board of that State. If theil
constitution, creating such board is
wrong, let them remedy it. The commits
sion at Washington claim they had nc
authority, and no right, to go behind the
returns of any State. This has always
beel Democratic doctrine. Bayard and
Thurman more recently maintaining tho
same doctrine, that the properly certified
certificates of electors as created by tht
laws of each State was evidence sufficient
And on this principle, maintained, anC
acquicsced in ever since the birthday o
the Republic, the commission gave thu
State to Mr.. Hayes according to the Ger
tihcates Of the electors. The eXigenceS
of the case created The commission
The Democrats largely outnumbered TIT
Republicans, in voting for the bill creating
the commission. 1t is thing brought tt
life more by the Democrats than thu
Republicans, and now let them stick to it
When the parties entered into the com
pact so honestly, and UNDERSTANDINGS C
traps or deception--lct each abide TIL,
award, as fair and honestly as the,
entered upon it.

BosToN, MASS, Feb. 10Th, 1877.

M. Editor
The western winds came rushing furi-
ously upon us, hurting the feccy down
iAto cur eyes, and singing the cuticlc
right smartly, SO that we were glad to
get into the comfortable cars of the p. &
o. r. r. in the valley of the Come cticut
on Tues lay morning, going in the direc-
ton Of that world renowned place, the
Notch of the White Mountains. The
route was new to me, and of course eyes
and ears were open to see and hear. At
ter we left tee B. c. & M. r. r. the way
seemed to be hedged in with wood, bark,
slecpers and great piles of mill-logs-- work
for busy hands when the gentle south
winds shall unlock the now fettered
mountain streams. Rapidly we swept by
the "Twin " standing lonely and silent as
Il funeral, and now we are before the re-
nowned Fabyan, and this stands all alone.
The gaycty, the dance, the joy, the crowds
of the past summer, have departed and
many of its actors forever. The keeper
is far away in the South, and although the
snow king now reisns, yet the birds are
coming again, and SO are the crowds.
The tops of the grand old mountains
were covered by frost, but enough sight
seeing was in store for us lower down.
However grand the view in summer, it is
still more so in winter. The leaves are
gone so that the track Of every slide, and
gully, and frozen stream of mountain ice,
rs they have damned up and hung over the
high sharp lodges. We could see far up
the Wiley mountain where the memorable
slide come down that buried the family
three only of the number were found
the path of the Slide is cut by the r.. R.,
otherwise every inch Of it can be seen.
The Wiley house stands little down
below the track, and is plainly visible.
Here is text for a sermon, but space
forbids preaching. There was an old bald
headed man along whose face was covered
with the wrinkled latitude and longitude
of age, who looked with keen interest.
Said he, "Sixty-one years ago this winter
| drove through here with horse and
sleigh, and more or less, to Portland every
year, and 40 years ago this winter hun
dred teams of us were blocked in about
the Notch, and now the old engine
draws more than the 200 horses, with a
quarter of the oats" And as we wound
around on the side of the mountains,
ligh above the carriage road, the old
gentlemen looked upon it, in loneliness,
for drifts cover it, no one travels it in the
winter, and no one enters the valley,
where the jolly old farmers with their
lunch pals, and fun, made this naturally
dreary place cheerful and livable. But
most of them have gone, and rest in an
other valley. Here is place for another
sermon. East of the mountains the snow
is not so deep. When we got to Ossipee,
n. H., the above named old man, said
that society used to be so bad then, that
his father used to say that "the devil had
a branch Office there which was well pat
ronized." X.

[From the Vt, Chronicle, (Republican)l

The vote of the Commssion-.udges
and all--in the Florida case were cast on
party lines. If it continues to be so in
all the cases to be submitted to them, it
will greatly weaken the moral power of
their decisions and bring them into con-
tempt in the eyes OF the people. If the
judges Of the Supreme Court allow their
individual political opinions to so bias
their judgements on the legal points in
yolycd in the settlement of these great
national questions that each man votes
with his party, it will be difficult to avoid
the conviction that they have not risen to
the dignity of the occasion, but have
acted like the common herd of politicians.
Let us hope that they will not thus soil
their crmne and dishonor their office.
