sentatlves of great nation, with the
concurrence OF the people thereof, under
the circumstances OF party heat, OF
hazard, of danger, of impending evil,
that would have rocked and riven the
stoutest throne in Chrlstendom. For
all that this is most honorable prece-
dent, by which all the nations of the
earth who dread war and love peace
may abundantly profit.
But, however admirable this may be
as an exponent Of republican institu-
tions, and honorable as an example Of
the self-imposed restraint of nation of
freemen, it can not properly stand as
witness to the future of the provisions
of our fundamental law. Such being the
case, it follows that there must be some
Constitutional amendment or amend
ments to insure just and peaceful So
lution of like questions, without appeal
ing simply to public generosity for the
settlement of difficulties threatening the
welfare of the nation. The present emer-
gency past, there will be time for the
devising and adjustment OF measures to
meet such contingencies in the future;
but the demand for such provisions will
be none the less imperative. Perhaps
it were better that such steps should be
deferred until the heat of the present
contest shall have subsidized, until feel
ings of disappointment shall have van
ished, and the unbiased judgment of our
wisest statesmen can be directed to the
difficult work of revising our system of

CHE ELECTORAL COMMISSION AS
A PRECEDENT.


1t is no disparagement OF the plan re-
serted to for constituting the electoral
Commission" to say that it can not
serve as precedent for any similar con-
tingency occurring hereafter. Under
the present exigency, which was met by
no Constitutional provision, and which,
indeed, human torethougnt could
scarcely have imagined as needful to be
provided for, the law constituting this
Electoral Commission was wisely and
most skllltully drawn. 1t was drawn
to meet the demands of an emergency
that had risen higher than the reach of
the Constitution itself; and it was most
ably adapted to the immediate want and
end proposed. 1t was to save the ma
tion from the unutterable evils of anar-
chy and civil commotion that this law
was enacted; and in so doing, it rose to
the dignity of the Constitution itself,
though without its sanctions. On this
account the law under which this Elec-
toral Commission is constituted can
never be received as precedent in Con.
stitutional law.
1t does not pretend that its provisions
shall ever be so regarded. Its preamble
specially recites that it is for the present
purpose only. 1t is to settle the ques.
lions involved in the Presidential elec.
ton OF this particular year, and no other.
And yet men would be prone to accept
its provisions as applicable in any future
Instance of like complication and diff
Dulty. Such an Interpretation would bt
In the highest degree derogatory to the
Constitution. 1t would, moreover, bt
mischievous as purporting prerogativ,
In Congress to presume an emergency
and legislate to meet it in any manner
however unwarranted by the Constitu
lion. We know that some lawyers AM
Members OF Congress claim the constitu
Honality OF this law. But we do not pre-
sumo that this claim will be advanced
when cooler consideration shall super
vene to prevent the wish from becoming
father to the thought. That it was con
curred In by members Of both politica
parties, and so voted for in Congress
does not clothe the law with any highe
Constitutional merit than it would other
wise have borne. The law really wal
little more than a common compac
agreed upon by members of Congress-
and rendered more solemn by being

Now it is solemnly stated that 1t was
not Miss Minnie Sherman who declined
at a Washington ball to dance with
Aurthur OF England. 1t was Helen Cox,
whose father was then Secretary Of the
Interior, who, then Secretary of the H.

round dance by Prince Arthur, said her
mother objected to those dances. Prince
Arthur consulted his card, and found
the only square dance tor which he was
disengaged would not come off before Q
o'clock in the morning, and Miss Cox
told him she must return home before
that hour. The locket sent by Prince

A USE FOR KITEs.-Many attempts
have been made TO turn kite-fying into
practical uses, but with scarcely any
other.result than to show that in the
art of kite-fying we are tar behind China
and Japan. Success depends on the
shape OF the kite; aud if kite presents
fat surface to the wind, it will be un
steady, and can not be employed in 9
successful experiment. The proper form
for kite is that of o hemisphere with
the convex side to the wind; no wings
and a light tail. Tue string should be
fastened a little above the center.
kite thus constructed will, as stated by
DR.. Joule, of Manchester, "stand in the
air with almost absolute steadiness. He
found that by pulling strings fastened
to the right aud Left sides Of the horizon
tai bow, The kite could be made to fly
thirty degrees or more from the direc
tion of the wind, and hence that it would
be possible to use it in hbringing yes
sci to Windward. One great advantage
of such mode Of propulsion over ordin
airy sails would be that the force, how
ever great, could be applied low down
SO as TO produce no more careening than
that desired by the seamen."

THE SILVER CAUSE.

Tile fortunes of the silver interest
are by no means - desperate as they
seemed. The Legi>latGrez Of the grea,
States of Ohio and Illinois have passed
acts decreeing that the silver eDins
shall BE- legal tender for all dnes 10 all
amounts ia those States. Though the
Governor Of the latter State vetoed the
n.easure). and now President Hayes
comes forward a. determined cham
pion OF the same policy. In this the
new President shows ais true patriot
ism and fidelity TO the people. over
whose interest be has been called TO
preside. His plan is TO pass an act
making the silver dollar a legal tender
in the same degree - the treasury
notes, and exchaRgesble for them. Al
=, 70 make the currency legal tenders
redcemabls in silver as we'll as the
fractional currency.
Secretary Sherman takes conservative
ground on the question. He is not i'll
