The End not yet Reached.

The Electoral Commission, in the
face oflaw, evidence. dccency and hon
essy have decided by strict party votA
to give Louisiaua to Hays. At this
writing, We have no news rs to the de.
cision Of the Commission on the Oregon
ineligible vote; but the decision made
in FLORIDA and Louisiana warrant the
conclusion that the eight Republicans
on that Commission are determined. at
any sacrifice, to make Hayes President.
Representative Sparks states the case
clearly aud decidedly. liz says he
doubted the patriotism Of any man who
took au Office thrust on him by fraud.
and which DO knew that be got through
fraud. He imagined the little gentle
man from Grammercy Park paying a
visit to Hayes at the White IIousc, and
saying. as hc took up bis bat to leave :
"Sir, a quarter Of q million of people
voted for me more than voted for you,
and an accurately defined majority Of
tho electoral vote Of the country was
for me; but through your rasoali,y.
scoundrelly, fraudulent Returning
Boards you have stolen the Office from
me-"

The Capital Question.

Tho Capital Bill has passed both
branches u the Legislature. aud is now
a Law. Tho bill provides that an cleo.
tiou ,hpll be held on tho first Tuesday
of August next; that the voters shall
make choice between Charleston. Mar.
tinsburg and Clartsburg; and that if
neither Of the three places shall receive
q majority Of all the votes cas, then the
loves. shall DO dropped. and at the
general election in 1878 the vote shall
DO taken between the two highest.
The chances for Clarkshurg getting tho
Capital are certainly very fatteriug I;
and if our Railroad is completed, there
will DO but little doubt; for with a
Railroad to Weston, a very largo ma
jority Of the vote Of Gilnsr and Brax-
ton would favor Clarksburg. which,
with thu vote tina. place would natu.
rally &c. from its location, would in all
probability give it the Capital on the
first vote.
