JUDGE DAVIS AND THE COMM.
SION

The Washington correspondent of the
New Orleans Democrat in recent letter
says:
Some days ago was conversing with n
prominent Illinois democrat, who is init.
mate with Judge Davis. He told me some
rather Interesting things, which, though
they belong to history, have a certain bear
ing upon important matters now pending
in our midst. He said that Judge Davis
would have done precisely what Bradley
dld had he been chosen 10 the electoral com
MISSION. The Judge said my inform aht
'held, in his private conversations at tnat
time, that the commission could not in
quire beyond the prima facie certificates
without completely subverting the consti.
tutlonal rights OF the States that while he
| believed that the votes as they came out of
the ballot-boX elected the Tflden electors
| beyond question, yet the only authorities
OF the sIate which Congress or the com
mission could constitutionally or legally
| take cognizance of had certified otherwise:
that If fraud had been committed of which
there was no doubt, II was for the people of
Louisiana, through their courts and iuries
TO hnd it out and punish it but that Con
g1ess, or commission created by Com
gress, could not make grand fury OF itself
70 investigate alleged crimes against the
law OF ony StBte. 1t was com petent for
either House of Congress to indulre into
Ihe iacts touching the election oil any one
| claiming to have credentials to that effect
because every legis body was the
/ luallIltHIlOnS
| OF its own memb bers. But electors were
| chosen by the States, according to their
own methods, and Congress was not the
Judge of their qualifc tions, nor could il
! create commission to be The whole
matter was in the hands of the people OF
the state, who were supposed by The spirit
OF the constitution, to be capable of enforc-
ing proper representation of their views
and preferences IN all matters pertaining

Juhge SAID, was the only protection guar
ranteed TO the local autonomy OF the States,

| from interfering either to work a wrong
from the outside or to redress one proceed
ing from WITHIN the State, provided always
| that the latter wrong was ACCOMPLISHED
without such armed violence as would
come under the constitutional provision
relating todomestic insurrestion. )"
1t is said that Senator Davis denies hav-
ing made any such statement as the above
The daily gazette., 1877-11-16

The Treasury statement shows that
Mr.. Sherman has not been able to accu-
mulate more than S57,436,07l in gold
coin towards resumption in January,
1879. The banks have as yet compare
lively no accumulation of gold. The
single standard advocates don't wish to
resume specie payments. They mean to
delude the people for year or so in or
der to keep up their business, knowing
that they will finally be beaten. Alex
ander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson
were advocates of the double standard,
and they were superior in patriotism to
the bankers and brokers of this corrupt

CONGRESS YESTERDAY.


In the United States Senate, yesterday
tie naval deficiency bill was called up and
passed without amendment. A resolution
was adopted insiructing the committee on
naval affairs to inquire into the expediency
of removing the naval observatory in
Washington to some more desirable posi-
tion in the city. The army appropriation
bill vas called up and several amendments
proposed by the Senate committee on ap-
preparations adopted one OF the amend
mems was that sufficient force of cavalry
shall be employed in the defense OF the
Mexican and Indian frontier of Texas, In
stead of four regiments of cavalry, as pro.
vided by house bill. Another amendment
prohibits the recruiting OF the army be-
yond 25,000men, tnstt ad of 20, 900, as provi-
ded by House bill. The latter amendment
passed by yeas 80, nays 10. Other amend.
ments were adopted without division, and
the bill now goes back to the House for the
action of that body on the Senate amend
ments.
In the House, the bill to repeal the specie
resumption act occupied the entire session,
number of speeches being delivered on
each side, the principal one being by Mr.
Kelley, of Pa, in favor of repeal. 1t is
is understood that the previous questions
| on the bill and and amendments Will be
| called tomorrow.
The House committee of Congress on for
eign affairs have agreed to recommend al
appropriation of $4,000 for the represen
tation of the United States at the Paris ex
position. The feature of an Indian corr
department, advocated by Mr.. Hewitt
was voted down.

A PATTERN JUSTICE During the
last generation magistrate administer
ed his calling not far from Blackbird, in
this State, who, for his manner of dis
tributing justice in the cases brought be-
fore him, deserves to have his memory
berpetuated, if for nothing else. For in
stance, if a case was brought before him
where there was any chance of settling it
without suing, he always advised them
TO do so. When reminded that this way
OF doihg business would keep him from
making anything out of his Office, "Poo,
poo," was his answer, 81 am justice Of
the peace, and am going to be one."

TIE REsERvoIR.--The brick work
upon the sides of the new reservoir will
be done, it is presumed, to-day or to-
morrow. 1t will then take a couple OF
days of good weather to prepare and
puddle the bottom for the laying of the
bricks upon it, when four or five Gays Of
dry weather will suffice to get the entire
bottom paved. As the bricks are to be
laid fiat, and there is to be a single layer
only, it will be put down very fast
The coping stones may be put on at

the basin will be ready to receive water

AN lMPERTINENTI IMP.-The Baltimore
Gazette is very audacious sometimes, and
now has the impertinence as to ask +:
"What is the Senate afraid of? Does
II want 900 additional soldiers to gar
nson the White House with ? Nobody
proposes 10 molest the President, not
Withstanding the taint in his title.
The same paper very properly adds
Now let the House be firm and refuse
to concur in the Senate's amendment
putting the strength of the army at % COO
men. 1t has been clearly shown that an
army of 10000 men is sufficiently LARGE

be sheer waste of money to provide for
the maintenance of 5000 extra troops.
