as matter of course the Turks
oppose them to the full extent of

The Maine legislature refused to submit
to the people an amendment to the state
constitution prescribing an educational
qualification for voters. In this, it un-
doubtedly correctly represented the public
sentiment but 1t will not be many years
before some such qualification will be re-
quired in every state in the Union. Intelli-
gent suffrsge-and that would be impartial
suffrage, too-would have saved us from
many Of the evils under which we are now
suffering, and the people begin to see it,
and will, ere long, demand it more earnest
ly than they ever did such impartial suf-
frage as we are now blessed with. 1t will
be time enough to talk of female suffrage
when we have intelligent suffrage.

every fifty members or fractional part
thereof, to be provided with proper creden-

in attendance from each club, be reported

to the senate, and s. s. Marshall to the
house, both being judges of the circuit
court of Illinois at the time of their cleo
ton, and the constitution of that state pro-
viding that 'the judges of the supreme and
circuit courts shall not be eligible to any
office of public trust or profit, in this
/" state or the United States, during the
term for which they we're elected, nor
" for one year thereafter" Judges Trum-
bull and Marshall were both seated, 1t
being held that state, neither by Its con-
stitution or laws, could add disqualifca-
ton to those contained in the national con-
stitution. Wherein is the difference in
principle between these cases and that Of
an elector1 If 1t is good law in the one
case, is it not in the otherH 1t would
seem. so.
1t is objected to another of these electors
that at the time of the election and Of the
giving in of his vote, he was an United
States commissioner, and thereby disquall-
fed from being an elector. We doubt
very much whether the Office Of United
States commissioner is such an 'ofllce of
"trust or profit under the United States
as would render the holder ineligible to be
appointed an elector. He derives his ap-
pointment neither from the president, the
head of a department, or congress. The
president cannot remove him, and he re-
ceives no salary, only fees. 1t is similar,
In this respect, to that Of pension surgeon,
and the United States circuit court of
Maine decided, some two years ago, that
| that office was not one of profit or trust in
the meaning of the constitution, on the
ground that he is not appointed either by
the president or a head Of department, but
by the commissioner of pensions. If this
was good law in reference to pension sur.
geon, is it not equally good law as to q
commissioner, and does it not follow thai
United States commissioners are not in.
eligible to appointment as electors2
This Maine case does not conflict with
! the Rhode Island case, for Corlss, a cen
tennial commissioner, teas appointed di
rectly by the president. The Rhode Islant
decision may be good law-and it was car
rying the constitutional prohibition to it
fullest extent-and yet it may be equally
good law that United States commissioner
are eligible to be appointed electors. But
in any event, has not congress by unanl
mously allowing the vote of Chaffee of II
linois who was on the day of election, thu
day when the electors gave in their vote
and to-day, an United States commissions
to be counted without objection virtually
conceded the point and established pre-
cedent for the commission to follow They
knew that Chaffee was such commissions
and had proof of the fact, and in neglect
ing to make objection thereto for fear tn,
action of the senate might prejudice the de
cision Of the same question in the Louisian,
case, have they not actually decided tn,

that nothing will come of this class of OBJ

The objections to counting the Hayes
electoral vote from Louisiana are volumi-
nous, but we apprehend that they can all
be simmered down into the question, wheth-
or the Wells returning board was the legal
board to canvass the votes, whether It was
properly constituted, and whether it pro-
ceeded in accordance with the requirements
of the state law. All other questions would
seem to be disposed of by the Florida de-
cislon, except the question of ineligible
electors of which we have spoken else
where. If the commission should find that
the Wells board was not the legal board to
canvass the votes cast for electors, or that
it was not legally constituted, or that it
mistook and exceeded its powers, that
would seem to be the end of counting the
Louisiana vote for Hayes-otherwis it
will be 80 counted.

ity of the house or senate had been dis
posed to obstruct the counting, day could
