WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE partisan
decision of the Electoral Commission was
presented in Congress this morning.
The Senate assembled at ten o'clock, eight
members only being present. Mr.. Ferry
announced that the communication of the
Electoral Commission, announcing their
decision in the Louisiana case, had been
received. There was no objection to the
reading, and the announcement of this last
act of perfidy was read to the eight Senators.
The House of Representatives was noti-
fled that the Senate was prepared to meet
them, and the august body awaited an
answer.
In the House, at 10 o'clock, every Demo-
crat wac In his seat, and as soon as the
reading of the journal was finished, Mr..
Lamar offered resolution directing the
Clerk of the House to notify the Senate
that on Monday, at II O'Clock, the House
will be ready to proceed to count the cleo
toral vote. Kasson and other Republicans
interposed objections, but the Speaker
insisted upon putting the question. The
Republicans demanded the yeas and nays,
and it was adopted by strict party vote.
Mr.. Lamar then moved that the House
take recess until 10 o'clock Monday, (which
was adopted by strict party vote.
THE PACKARD GOVERNMENT.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-At the Cabinet
meeting held yesterday the Louisiana case
was discussed at considerable length, and
1t Is understood that it was decided to off,
cially and fully recognize the Packard
government. 1t is believed, however, that
this recognition will not occur until after
the Presidential count has been made.
1t has been ascertained that the swind-
ling operations carried on by the Treasury
Clerk Douglass and his confederates extend
to nearly every State in the Union, ir which
any considerable number of registered bonds
are held. 1t is believed only very small
part of the operations have been discovered
and that other lawyers in New York are
implicated.
The Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections at a private session this after
noon voted to report Mr.. Conrad D. Jour-
dan to the Senate as being In contempt for
his refusal to produce transcript of Gov
ernor Tilden's account with the New York
Third National Bank. The report cannot
however, be made until the Senate shall
have resumed the transaction of Legislative
business, and in the meantime Mr.. Jourdan
will remain in custody of the Seargeant- at

The South Carolina troubles were
promptly settled without q single act OF
violence almost, the hour the troops
we're withdrawn from the State House.
The trouble In this State can be as
speedily and bloodlessly settled by the
same simple and proper process. Yet,
while property and business. involving
many millions of dollars, are threatened
with ruin, and while eight hundred
thousand people wait in anxiety and
doubt, five eminent commissioners,
without any standing or authority In
law, occupy their time by inquiring into
inteIminable and inexplicable Ques.
tions, and interviewing every man,
black and white. who desires to be
put through that interesting process.
Perhaps there has been no more farci-
cal scene In the Louisiana drama OF
five years than this Commission, whose
mission no human being seems to I'M
1erstand, and who seems itself to be
ignorant Of the reason OF Its own crea-
ton. The dignity Of these eminent
gentlemen is sadly imperilled: and
though the people Of Louisiana may
weep while the play drags out It's inter-
minable length. we shall not be sur
prised IL the balance OF the country do
not roar with laughter ere II BE- ended.

HENRY CLAY AND OLD WHIGGERY

The Times OF yesterday, referring to
the centennial anniversary OF Henry
Clay's birth, says OF this distinguished
political leader: "His position on ma
tional questions, the tariff, finance.
Texas annexation, slavery. ETC., has won
for him an enduring reputation, and
this as much on account Of the splendid
ability with which he advocated them,
as on account of the intrinsic soundness
of the views themselves. Mr.. Clay will
always be grand and imposing figure
In American progress and American
politics"
It is further added, by our neighbor,
that "as the leader OF the purest and
greatest party the country has ever pro-
duced," he must ever stand pre-eminent
among the grand characters with which
our history is thronged.
We concur with the Times in its
eulogy OF the great Kentuckian, and
Of his many high qualities as an orator,
a political chieftain, a patriot and
commanding figure in the partisan con-
tests and political transactions of his
day. But it was not essential to
the expression Of these views and to
just estimate Of the great services and
brilliant virtues and endowments of Mr..
Clay that the facts Of our political his
tory should be perverted and misstated
In SO palpable d manner as they are in
the preceding sentences:
All that is said about the splendid
ability with which Mr.. Clay defended
his position on the questions of the
Tariff. Finance, Texas Annexation and
Slavery may be freely conceded. with
out condemning the judgment Of the
great majority Of the people OF the
several generations OF this Republic,
from the day he embarked In politics

The bill reducing the number OF Police
Judges for the city from Eve to two has
passed the Senate with some amend
tnents and returns to the House. It is
stated by Senator Grover and other
members that the adoption Of this bill
wonld effect saving to the city OF
twenty-five thousand dollars, which
would certainly be q sensible relief to
our straitened treasury. There are other
arguments in favor Of this measure,
among which we may mention the bet
ter organization and discipline Of the
police, and the avoidance OF all conflict
Of jurisdiction between the magistrates.
We trust that the bill will be adopted
and put into active operation as soon as
practicable. 1t IL In the line Of reform
and should be put through.

Gov. Nichols has pardoned VIM.
Dixon, who was sentenced to the Peni-
Tertiary for grand larceny. In this.
the Governor has exercised the highest
prerogative of the Executive. and 1t
was done without the least trouble or
opposition. We remember that when
Gov. Hampton pardoned q prisoner.
there was deal OF fuss raised about
il, and the country was for acme
time on the tiptoe Of expectation to
see whether the fellow would be
released or not. Here. there Is no
difficulty. Gov. Nichols has spoken
and the prisoner Is released. There is
no one to go against or object to the die
tum, except perhaps Packard. who. i'm
beetle and impotent, may growl about 1t
behind his ilimsy barricades In the st.
Louis Hotel,
Will the high. jointed gentlemen Of the
Commission tell as now who Is Governor
OF Louisiana?

A CHALLENGE TO THE COMMISSION


We defy-no, let us be more diplo-
matic-we humbly challenge the men,
bers Of the commission now here en-
gagged in fixing up the Louisiana case.
to make to the country, over their own
signatures, the following declarations :
/. That, under the constitution Of
Louisiana. the Returning Board has the
authority to determine who was elected
Governor Of the State, and that the ma
jority OF 5000 votes cast for Governor
Nichols goes for nothing as against the
declaration Of the Returning Board.
2. That, under the constitution Of
Louisiana, the Returning Board has the
authority to determine the composition
Of the Legislature OF the State; that a
Legislature composed Of majority Of
the members elected to both branches
thereof is not legal Legislature, and
that the General Assembly In session
at Odd Fellows Hall Is not 80 COM
posed.
8. That a Supreme Court, recognized
and confirmed by the legal Senate OF the
State, is not legal court, and that the
acting Supreme Court OF Louisiana, pre-
sided over by Chief Justice Manning,
was not confirmed by the legal Senate
OF Louisiana.
4. That the courts of this State have
jurisdiction to pass upon the title to
office OF the Governor of Louisiana.

Have come again TO ea,th;
And country ways and country praise
Renew their golden birth.

Through him is brought before our gsze

Ere wore lordlier name,

A grander, purer fame.

Bequeathe1. in his renown,
The hero whose untarnished sword
Cleans brightest in defeat,
Who turns, in scorn, from Fortunes horde,
To kneel at honor's feet.
Hats off although no victor he,
The laureis he has won
Are greener than the proudest bays,
The proudest brow upon.
Hats off hero passes by,
The rose OF chivalry,
Who shows the world how grand thing
