THERE seems TO be very general con-
viction among the rural Democracy, that
after having elected Tilden and Hend-
ricks, II is exceeding bad leadership and
management to be defrauded out of them,
and to have Hayes and Wheeler counted
in With our decided majority in the
House, Democrats had no doubt that
matters would be managed with proper
skill, and with firm, steadfast hand
Assuredly, Democratic voters over the
country had no idea of being Sedanned
without an attempt, at least, by all law
ful and proper means, to prevent the sue
cess of the scheme of the peIured con-
spirators. We confess our friends here
abouts cannot understand it, and feel dis
appointed and mortified. John Young
Brown, Of Kentucky, an advocate of
tame submission, made an eloquent
speech, and declared their object was
merely to avoid anarchy" Every Eu-
ropean despol holds up that same scare
crow, and 80 continue their robber rule.
In this country anarchy" don't apply.
An appeal to the people is what is want
ed, and no Democrat should fear that
The general feeling here is, ifMr. Tilden,
who was elected, cannot become Presi-
dent, efforts should be made at least to
prevent the s to fraud, and take an APP
peal to the people. Why not?

Judg. blacks Closing Argument.

Judge Black then addressed the Com
mission. He said he had no time to con-
slider the case. The Court knew as much
about it as he did. 1t was his idea that
a counsel should speak only to assist the
Court In coming to conclusion and when
he could not do that he should take his
seat. With much feeling, he said, he felt
he had lost much of the dignity of an
American citizen and that this great ma
ton had got its foot In q creak from which
it could not be extricated. If forlorn
hope could 90 out to avert this great
calamity he would gladly lead it. lie
didn't know how he would feel If called
upon to lay down his life, but if he could
with his life redeem the nation from the
infamy with which it was covered he
ought to give his life as freely as he would
90 to his bed. He went into an examina-
ton of the details in South Carolina,
branching off at intervals into similar
strains of complaint against the action OF
the Commission, and concluded by saying
that he never expected to see another
Presidential election. He cared not to
ask how the people had expressed their
will. He only wanted to know what
kind of rascals they had got for Return
Boards.
At LILO P. M. the Commission went in
to secret session, but at once took re-
cess until l:45
The State Declared for Hayes.

Ell, by vote of eight to seven, that the
Hayes and Wheeler electoral votes of

Commission unanimously decided that

The Commission adjourned at P. M. un-

FALSTAFF argues that honour is a
mere word, and a word is only air, and
therefore he'll none of it." Bradley,
Miller and Strong, the Judges; Morton,
Edmunds and Frelinghuysen, Senators /;
and Hoar and Garfield, Members of the
House these constitute the infam ons
and perjured eight, must reason Ia
Falstaff. Falstaff was not an American
official, a Supreme Judge or Member of
Congress, acting under special oath to
carry out honestly and impartially
special act; no, Falstaff was only an at
tendant on royalty, courtier, as they
are called, mere butterflies basking in
the rays of power, fawning for the smiles
of royal favor mere Shiny lickspittles,
unworthy consideration by honest men.
There is said to be honour among
thieves But was there any of it among
the eight?

HUMANITY is no exception to hegen-
eral law" Says an author. "There is no
standing still in this system of life and
action; if it were SO, fxity and stagnation
would be the result" Hence, as a peo-
pie, we are either on the upward Jim
proving) grade, or the downward grade,
as to conditions and moral improvement.
The question occurs On which grade are
the American people sliding just now
Is wrong triumphant over the right
Are the devotees of Mammon in power,
and holding on by force and fraud that
they may continue their reckless rule?
These are questions worthy of serious
thought,

SENATOR Edmunds, on the 25th of
February, 1875, in a discussion of the
whole question of the electoral count,
distinctly said: We all agree that what
ever pretends to be vote, or looks like
a vote, but is not vote, should not be
counted. So the thing which we are to
provide for by this legislation is means
of ascertaining fairly and truly, according
to the Constitution and laws, what is the
vote, tie aOiH Of each Particular State
in the choice of President. How could
there be any doubt in the minds Of men,
themselves candid and consistent, as to
the course which the author of such Ian
guage as this in 1875 would take when
in 1877 he found himself a member of a
commission framed mainly by himself
to ascertain the vote, the will of each
particular State?' Could any one think
of such treachery, not to say perjury, in
an honorable Senator? Joseph Brad
ley is not the only Shiny member of the
eight

"TILDEN for $780," is the rallying cry
of Montgomery Blair in the Washing
ton Union. He concludes lengthy edi-
torial in Wednesdays paper, reviewing
the Radical theft of the Presidency, in
this way:
Let us hold to the reform issue and to
the man whose record has been so effect
i've in making it. Mr.. Adams was made
President by Mr.. Clay in perfectly legal
manner, but in doing so he violated the
known will of the people. The people
vindicated their right by making jack
son, who had been set aside by the coali-
ton, President by an overwhelming ma
jority. Now Tilden, the President.elect,
has been deposed by fraud which will
make all concerned infamous. His name
will become the rallying cry of all who
wish to vindicate American honor and
drive out the obscene crowd who now
pollute public Office.

Hon. DAVID Dudley Field has offered
bill in the House, providing for an act
ing President in case of no election by
March 4th. It proposes that the presi-
ding officer of the Senate shall act until
n new election can be held. 1t tseems the
Act of 1892 does not provide for such
contingency, but only "in case of reno
val, death, resignation or inability of
both President and Vice President, the
president of the Senate, or if there is
none, then the Speaker Of the House
shall act until the disability is removed
or President elected" The bill passed
the House.

THE New York Post, the leading ev-
ening Republican organ of the United
States, discussing the Oregon problem,
says.
1t will not do to make various laws
for various States. If it be held that
when the votes come to be counted in
Washington the certificates may be in
quired into further than is necessary to
ascertain their genuineness, that rule be
impartially applied. If, as we have in
clined to believe, the appointment of
Electors is a purely State matter, and if
there is no power to go behind the au-
thentic certificates of State officers, that
rule must be impartially applied. Ifthe
Democrats insist upon inquring into the
proceedings of the Louisiana Returning
Board they cannot prevent the Republi,
cans inquiring into the proceedings of
the Oregon Governor. On the other
hand, if the Republicans insist that the
authentic action of the State is conclu,
sive in Louisiana, they must admit that
it is conclusive in Oregon. Upon the
State theory any alleged wrong in the
appointment of electors must be righted
in the State. In respect to the Oregon
case the facts and the law are yet to be
officially ascertained. If a wrong has
been done in the appointment of Elec-
tors, there ought to be some way of right
ing it in the State, but we are not pre-
pared to say thatthere is any. In South
Carolina the Democrats have suggested
a precedent by calling the Supreme
Court of the State for relief. Buff there
is no remedy for such wrong within a
State, is there a remedy anywhere else,
upon the theory that the appointment of
Electors is State matter?

The New York Herald thus hits of

The Incorporate speech of Senator Sar-

able. His atrocious insult to the Demo-
cratic party in charging it with an at
tempt to assassinate Hayes, and the guilt
of assassinating President Lincoln, and
saying that it was dripping all over with
murder, was in such spirit of brutal fe-
rocity, and SO out of place in the Senate,
especially on 80 important an occasion,
that we are astonished that any Senator
could so demean himself as to indulge in
that kind of infuriate and senseless vitu-
peration. Mr. Sargent's abusive rant can
only excite disgust.
