An Interesting Historical Fact.

After the argument upon the Florida case
before the late Electoral Commission In
Washington, Judge BRADLEY wrote out
his opinion and his decision In full. He
completed IL at about o'clock in the even
ing on the day before the judgment OF the
Commission was to bc announced, and read
IL to Judge CLIFFORD and Judge FIELD who
were likewise members of the Commission
ly, a conclusion. The argument was pre-
cisely the same as that which appears In
the published document; but Judge BRAD
LEY's conclusion was that the votes Of the
TILDEN electors in Florida were the only
votes which ought to be counted rs coming
from that State.
This was the character of tho paper when
Judge BRADLEY finished II, and when he
communicated IL to his colleagues. During
the whole OF that night Judge BRADLEY's
house in Washington was surrounded by
the carriages OF visitors who came to see
him apparently about the decision Of the
Electoral Commission. which, as we have
said, was to be announced the next day.
These visitors included leading Republicans
IA well as persons deeply interested in the
Texas Pacific Railroad scheme.
When the Commission assembled the next
morning. and when the judgment was de-
clared, Judge BRADLEY gave his voice in
favor of counting the votes Of the HAYES
electors in Florida The argument he did
not deliver at the time; but when it came
TO be printed subsequently 1t was found To
be precisely the same as the argument
which he had originally drawn up, and on
which he had based his first conclusion in
favor of the TILDES electors.

tain order and protect property, or from the
imbecility Of their executive officers. The
municipalities are bound to protect, and the
States are bound to supplement the police
deficiencies Of the municipalities. In every
city and county the owners Of property out
number those who have accumulated no
thing. and constitute a perpetual force that
can suppress warfare on individual or cor
poratc rights. Pittsburgh was bound by
law to be ever ready to put down any mob
that might arise within her limits. New
York is thus ready by reason Of her admi
rablc body Of police. Pittsburgh's unrcadi-
ness will not be accepted as plea In bar to
suits for the value OF the merchandise in
transitu destroyed and stolen within her
jurisdiction. Still less should it avail for
n subvcrsion OF the Constitution of the
United States in the employment of Federal
army to do the police work obligatory on
municipal corporations Such use violates
the principle of local sclf-govcrnmcnt on
which our entire political system Is founded.
1t would bc better to have every railroad in
the republic swept clean by fire and vio-
lcncc, than to have this fundamental demo
cratic principle subverted.
army police is monstrous Tho taxation to
sustain it would fall without discrimination
on farms and rural villages, as vol rs ON
railroad centres The portions OF the United
States which might require or receive the
protection Of Federal soldiers are inconsid-
cradle compared with the whole area OF the
country and with the immense interests that
can take care Of themselves, and that abhor
even the suggestion of guardianship. No
tax could be devised SO unequal rs this
army police tax would be. 1t would be in
tOlcrablc.
We have unshakablc faith in the patriot
ISM good sense, and democracy OF the pco-
pie; and we know that if this wicked and
scnscless scheme to augment the army and
move it through the States as Federal
police is presented ~ an ISSUE it will bc pas
sionately repudatcd, and the regular army
summarily reduced to ten thousand men,

Plain Words to Ohio Democrats.

II the Democrats of Ohio intend to carry
the State In October. they must not rely too
much upon the communism. the evasions,
the Inconsistencies, or the thiny disguised
and temporarily compromised differences Of
the Republican leaders in the Cleveland
Convention. Indeed they must not rely
upon the blunders and animositics of their
opponents at all, but trust solely TO the
strength, discipline, unity, and vigor Of
their own party. They are dealing with
willy and INSCRIPTIONS enemy, who has sell
dom been beaten in that State; and mas
much as defeat there in October would send
dismayal along the Republican lines every
where and well-ngh dissolve the party, the
most determined cXertions will he put forth
to secure IA Republican victory.
The Democrats must not imagine that
the defeat of TAFT as the nominee for Gov
ernor will cause any dsaffcction among Re-
publcans either during the canvass or at
the polls. TAFT is greatly overrated man.
He is a shufiler and a lubber; and the repu-
tation for independence and honesty on
which he traded so long and did so extern
sive business, was all sunk while he was
In GRANTS Cabinet. The Democracy must
not, therefore, build any hopes upon the
supposed weakness Of WEST in comparison
with TAFT as the Republican candidate. In
fact, we think WEST is the stronger of the
Two.
II the Democrats are in earnest, and mean
10 achieve great success, they must not
mismanagc their canvass as they did two
years ago and one year ago. They ought to
have carried the State in 1875, and thus set
tied the Presidential election In advance.
But they Numbered badly, especially during
The last three weeks of the campaign. More
over, there was no sufficient excuse for the
failure to elect their State ticket last Octo-
ber They threw away the victory for lack
Of faith and energy. Except for this. TIL
DEN would have received two-thirds OF the
electoral votes in November.
II those Democrats who are conducting
the pending campaign in Ohio cannot see
the situation in this light, they had better
step out and give place to men who can-ii

The Use Of the Regular Army rs a
Police Unconstitutional.

Twas cry Of cowardice and unreasoning
folly that pierced the smoke Of the burning
property OF the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany at Pittsburgh, screaming for an in
crease Of the regular army aud demanding
that the Federal Government be invested
with immense police power TO supplement
the inadequacy of municipal protection.
The use Of the Federal army as a police
force is unconstitutional II can only he
lawfully used to guarantee to every State in
the Union republican form Of government;
to protect each State against invasion; and,
on application in prescribed form from the
States, to protect them against domestic
violence " exceeding the ablityof the States
to control aud suppress. A riot in amy State
cannot DISQUALIFICATION the employment
of Federal troops, unless ii takes proper

overmaster its political power to maintain

the State of Pennsylvania. Allegheny is but
one Of the sixty-six counties OF that great
State. The population Of Pennsylvania is
four millions. Not ten thousand men were
actually engaged in obstructing the rail
roads in Pittsburgh and pillaging and burn
Ing property. On the entire line II the Penn
sylNaniA Railroad there were not over % 600
men In the organized force which took pos
