In his peroration Judge Campbell
compared the vernment OF Louisiana
to that described by q recent writer as
the ruling power in Turkey. That coun-
try was governed, it was said, not by
Christian, nor Mohammedan nor jew,
not by monarch or by a parliament, but
by rings at Constantinople, composed Of
the renegades and apostates and refuse
of Europe, who trampled GA law, were
reckless of other interests than their
own and would pull down the very pill
lars of the social fabric for their own
selfish ends. These rings had brought
disaster upon their own country and
threatened to convulse continent with
war. The parallel was found in the
government of the corrupt men at
whose feet lay Louisiana. 1t was for
the commission to say whether their in
famous designs should now be checked
or whether the woes they had brought
upon one State should be shared by all

The constitution of the United States
says the electors shall be appointed as
the legislature directs. When two sets
OF electors appear, congress is bound to
inquire of the legislature as to which
set has been appointed in conformity to
its direction, and to do this, it can
only accept the evidence which it has
itself provided. The laws of the United
States also provide that the certificate
of the governor shall be prima facie evil
dence that the electors have been APP
pointed as the legislature directs; and
in case Of contesting certificates, the
legislature is the only authority which
can determine which is the true certifi
cate. And now what does the commits
sion propose to do with Governor
Growers certificate, after accepting the
certificate OF Stearns, of Florida, and
claiming to respect the certificate of

IT seems from Mr. Simonton's dis
patch in to-day's HERALD, that W. Y,
Leader, ESQ, OF Jefferson, was seriously
mistaken when he stated that the
agent of the associated press would
meet the press of Texas at Austin on
the 18th of March. Mr. Simonton de-
clares that such announcement by Mr.
Leader is wholly unauthorized. The
HERALD did not suppose Mr.. Simonton
had authorized such statement to be
made, and therefore declined to publish

HENCE the Republican party have had
recourse to aHnde, a cognate, but far
more potential agency, Where they
obtained it we are unable to say. We
may conjecture that they got it out OF
Bouviers Law Dictionary, whore, how
ever, it is defined as an innocent and
innocuous elsewhere" Now, nobody
would be afraid OF q man with an "else.
where" or any quantity of "elsewhei es. ~
In fact, by process Of verbal transmu-
tation an ali,mde translated into English
and back again into Latin becomes an
abb; and everybody knows that a man
with an aliji is not an object of terror.
But an dlitotde is more terrible than n
de tacto; more potent than nisi priuS;
more mysterious than status quo; more
mighty than nc Great; more taking
than capiaS. Here is the great mistake
committed by the Democratic party.
Whilst they were relying on the
amount Of testimony they had
secured to prove that the Re-
publican returning boards were on
gines of fraud, of falsehood and villainy;
that the Tiden electors were duly chos-
en- in Florida and louisiana and were
drawing the differences that elections
elect the Republicans were quietly
amassing n stock of aiiumdes. Fatal
blunder Why is it that the Democrats
have permitted their adversaries to gain
the tremendous advantage arising from
the exclusive possession of de tactos, status
quos and alimdeS? To this judicial blind
ness the success of tho Hayes conspiracy
is due. There was absolutely nothing
to be said and nothing to be done by
the Republicans, until Judge Bradley
drew forth his alimde and ilourished il
in the astonished faces of the grand
commissioners. But that was enough.
The battle had been lost, but, as Napo-
leon said to Desaix on memorable occa.
sion, there was time enough to win an.
other With one sweep of his terrific
aaumde, Bradley routed his opponents.
AHunde was as deadly to the Democrats,
and as fatal to Mr. Tilden, as was
Kellermans charge at Marengo, or Nc
Donalds at Wagram, deadly and fatal
to the Austrians--New Orleans Democrat

was ON the day Of election ineligible as
an elector, The law Of Oregon provides
that if there be a vacancy in the Office
ofan clcctor from any cause, the cleo
loral college may fill it There vas a
vacancy when the college met, for Watts
had previously resigned
When the electoral college met there
were present but two of the persons who
without question had received, upon the
uncontested returns, the highest num-
Der Of votes. These two proceeded to
elect Watts. If he was not at that time
disqualified Ivy the constitution, he was
eligible. But this is now the real point
Of the Oregon inquiry, The supreme
court of the United States has recently
held that resignation of an office ter.
minable upon the qualification Of a sue
cessor does not relieve the incumbent
from the responsibility until that sue
cessor is qualified, 1t is asserted that
Watts successor did not qualify until
after the sixth of December If this be
so, Watts was ineligible on that day. 1t
may be, however, even if this fact be
established, that the electoral commits
sion, regarding equity rather than tech
nicalty, considering that the people
of Oregon voted for him in ig
norance OF his disquali6cationS, and
that his undisputed election shows
what the will Of the people was, may
decide that his vote, as expressing that
will shall be received, Should the case
be presented in this way and the vote
be refused it would probably be upon
the ground that, whatever be the will
of the people Of Oregon, it must be law
fully expressed, and that, in the absence
of such expression, the presidency mus
not be determined by Il vote which the
constitution prohibits,

THE report of the Hon. j, j. Groos
commissioner of the general land Office
of this State, through the courtesy OF
Rhodes Fisher Esq, chicf.clerk, is
before us. From that report we gather
that the area of public domain now is
1862, 800 acres, out of which must
come 1862, 600 acres of tho Texas and
Pacific railroad reservation. The COM
missioner states that if the drafts
drawn against this public domain in the
coming five years are AZ large as those
drawn during 1876, by the close of the
fiscal year 1881 Texas will have dis
posed Of every acre of her public
domain.
