THE PACKtD TRIBUNAL.
Nothing to be Expected From 1t.
What Action VIII be Taken In Reference
to our State Government.
Grant will Probably Refuse to Recognize
Packard and Leave The Louisiana

Successors
Especial to N. o. Democrat.l

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-At midnight
the town Is quiet and nearly everybody
has got out Of sight, except q few
hilarious Republicans who are making
night hideous.
1t has been impossible to obtain any
consistent expression OF opinion from
Democrats as TO what their future
policy will be. Everybody comedies
that the thing is settled, and the Oregon
case wont amount to d tlsa bite when
this packed Tribunal gets hold of it.
The only question of interest TO your
readers now is, what will become OF
your State government. should say
that tho answer TO that question de-
pends upon the men whom Hayes
selects as his advisers, or 1t depends
upon who may become President ad
interim in the event OF the House fill
clustering until the 4th OF March. In
that case there would be fight for the
Presidency OF the Senate, which carries
with 1t the President ad interim, be-
tween Blaine and Conkling. as sug-
gested In these specials day'er two
ago; but, In time OF such wide uncer-
tainty, 1t Is idle to speculate.
think 1t may be. safely stated that
Grant will not recognize Packard dur
ing his term of Office, "although des-
perate pressure will be brought to in
duce him to do 80. His policy will.
doubtless, be to maintain the status quo
and leave the Louisiana muddle unset
tied az legacy to his successor. This
will be Grants primary policy, but, II
crowded too hard, he may settle the matA
ter himself, and, II he does, 1t depend4
a good deal on his frame of mind at the
time. which government will receive
his recognition. BUELL.. !.

l0ourier-JoutnaiI
At the first. glance at the Louisiana
case the illegal constitution Of the Board
OF Returning officers, who took upon
themselves the responsibility of dis
franchising $1,000 voters to count Hayes
In, stands across the pathway of the
Hayes electors and proves the fraudu-
lent nature of their claim. The law
reads:
SECTION q. Be IL further enacted. etc.,
That five persons, to be elected by the
Senate from all political parties, shall
be the returning officers for all elections
in the State, q majority OF whom shall
constitute a quorum, and have power
to make the returns OF all elections. In
case Of any vacancy by eath, resigna-
ton or otherwise, by either Of the
board, then the vacancy shall be filled
by the residue Of the board of return
ing officers. The returning officers
shall, after each election. before enter
scribe to the following oath before q
judge Of the Supreme or any District
Court:
"I, A. b.. do solemniy swear (or
affi rm) that I will faithfully and dill
gently perform theduties of @ returning
officer as prescribed by law; that will
carefully and honestly canvass and
compile statements of the votes, and
make a true and correct return Of the
election; so help me God.
The board which fraudulentiy counted
Hayes in was fraudulentiy and pur-
posely composed Of four disreputable
partisan Republicans. who refused to
allow Democrat to act with them.
They took the solemn oath to act le-
gally. with their minds made up to act
In defiance OF law.

MOBILE, Feb. 16.-William Fl. Weldon
was sent to Mobile lhst October, recom-
mended by q member Of the house OF
Clafiin & Co., to take service with P. II.
Pepper a. Co., the wealthy dry. goods
house here. He was engaged by Mr..
Pepper, and remained in his employ
until about ten days since.
After quitting his situation he took to
drinking, probably on that account,
coupled with a little love matter, and
did some wild things. Last Sunday he
informed one OF his. acuuaintances that
he was going to kill himself, and that
he had already secured room at
Mandich's restaurant for that pur-
pose. The last seen OF Weldon
was at Pepper u Co.'S on the 13th,
at IL a. M, when he called in and
received o settlement OF his. account.
He then told the cashier good bye, and
here. he replied mo" that he had
something else on hand, and was about
to leave the city. All those who knew
him here say that his resolution, il res
olution 1t was. must have been taken
over the drinking table, and with those
who happened with HIM at the time
While here he told his acquaintances
that his father was q Lutheran minister
in Philadelphia.
He was never known to take any part
or interest In politics on one side or the
other. One of Weldon's acquaintances
here is willing to swear that Weldon
has not been in condition OF response
bility for more than week, and can
prove this fact by other responsible
parties. II.

AN IMMORAL CONTRACT.
ana No supreme Court Remaining to
Annui1 1t.
Inn. Y. snn. j.


The situation Of those Democrats In
the House OF Representatives who
voted for the Electoral Commission,
has become one OF painful embarrass-
ment.
The Bible eommends the man who
sweareth to his own hurt and ehangeth
not; and every instinct of honor de-
mands that q contract once entered into
should be fulfilled as scrupulously il 1t
results disastrously as IL 1t results ad-
But how Il it be an immoral contract?
The popular answer would be that the
parties should have discovered that be-
fore they entered into 1T.
We have no doubt that the Represen-
tativss who voted for the Electoral bill
violated -unwittingly~-their oath of of
fee; that having sworn to support the
constitution, they voted in favor Of an
infrsction OF the constitution. But little
credit from the Republicans will they
get-or have they any right to expect
for conscientfousness, IL they set up
that plea now in justification Of o. re-
fusal, on their part, to carry out, to the
letter, and in full, to the bitter end, the
terms of the act. Such are the deplora~
Bile consequences of once cutting loose
from the constitutional
One thing, however, the House Of
Representatives, even under this uncon-
stitutional bill, has still the right to do,
and we adjudge 1t to be the solemn and
imperative duty OF the House, which
should not be omitted: It has the right
to adopt q resolution that Rutherford
B. Hayes has not been elected Presi-
dent Of the United States, and that the
President of the Senate ought not to
declare him elected.
This would leave the titleto the office
open to be contested before the courts.
The only trouble about that is that we
have not, any longer, a Supreme Court
OF the United States. The fury OF an
honest and indignant popular opinion,
however, rising, as it assuredly will,
like q whirlwind and q storm. may
safely be trusted to drive the present
nominal judges from their places upon
the bench, substituting judiciary for
that political body.
