WelIs's testimony before the Committee
on Powers and Privileges was mainly con-
fined to contradictions in breaking down
LittletlelPs. He testified that the statements
Of votes, or tally-sheets, had been received
from Vernon parish, therefore they could
not have been destroyed by Littlefield OF
himself. ~.
Wells was shown the letter to West. He
said before he explained the letter he would
like to see the letter written by Maddox to
the President and signed by Wells recon-
mending Maddox for office. Maddox was
called into the room, and denied oil about
| this letter. Wells then proceeded to give
| the scathing details OF his intercourse with
Maddox, denying the conversations respect
ing money for himself and fellows OF the
Board for tampering with returns. Mad
dox never said anything to Wells about
Democratic money. Wells never heard OF
Colonel Pickett; never authorized Maddox

Tiiden and the Presidency.

The Democrat is happy over the
idea which has been preached in GER
tain quarters that Tilden shall assert
his right to the Presidency and seek to
establish it By legal proceedings. 1t
evidently has little hopes, however,
that the effort will be successful. The
most it expects to see accomplished is
"to lay open to the gaze of the world
the enormity Of the crime committed
against the American people by the
late Grant administration and the sew
en-by-eight commission"
Nothing is said about the exposure
of the Grover.Gobble business in Ore
gon, by which an electoral vote was to
be stolen, but we presume the Demo-
crat wants the true inwardness of that
transaction revealed also. We have
been under the impression that "the
seven-by-eight commission" was a
creation of Congress, and was purely
Democratic invention, originating in
the Democratic House of Representa-.
tives; hence that it is not fair to de-
nounce the decision as a "crime COM
mitted against the American people by
the late Grant administration. But
there must be some mistake about this
or is it the Democrat which is in error

The Silver Bill.

By vote of Al to Is, the U. S
Senate last week decided to make the
Silver Bill which has already passed
the House, the special order for yester.
day. The decisive majority BY which
the friends Of the bill secured its pre-.
sent consideration seems to indicate its
ultimate passage by large majority
although the bill may and probably
will be amended in some respects
We do not believe the President will
sign the bill in its present shape. The
advocates of the measure who want to
make 4l21 grains, or ninety-two cents
worth of silver, pass current for dol
lar will be apt to run against presi-
dental vote, should they succeed in
getting suoh law through Congress.
Let them propose to put more silver in
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1877-12-12
their dollar, say 420 grains, and they
will encounter fewer obstacles to the
success of their scheme.
How 1t is Done.

We are constantly re fading in Dem.
ocratic newspapers that every thing is
lovely down south, and that the color
ed men are in the full enjoyment of all
their rights and privileges. 1t is as.
serted that they are content with the
situation of affairs, and are at perfect
liberty to do what they please so long
as they violate no law. We confess
however, that we have had misgivings
aud doubted somewhat the truth OF
these statements when we read the
other day that at an election held in
South Carolina the Democrats carried
by 1900 majority county which one
year ago gave a Republican majority
of 1000, and that only rs Republicans
voted. We think an explanation OF
how the thing is done is afforded by
the following from recent issue Of
the Charleston Neaos and Courier:
"Upon the colored people of Char
lesion will rest the responsibility for
the defeat of the Democratic ticket. or
the attempt to defeat it. The defeat
of the Democratic ticket by the color
ed people will rekindle the angry feel
ings that were fast dying out; the old
color-line will be re-established, and
the whites will be pitted squarely
against the blacks. Does any coloreo
man doubt the result of such con
test, the State Government in every
department being controlled by Demo
Gratis ?"
This does not quite look like tina
perfect freedom to vote as they please
which Democratic papers claim The
negroes possess under the benign and
benefcient administrations now ruling
the South. We would like to hea
the views of our neighbor of the Dem
ocrat on the subject.

Hon. DANA &. LAMB, of Fond du
Lac, who was arrested few DAYS ago
on the complaint of 0. P. Reed, of
Ripon, for larceny, has been honorably
released, it appearing that there was no
ground whatever for the charge. Reed
has been arrested for perjury. It looks
as if the prosecution of Mr.. Lamb in
the first instance was for the purpose
of damaging his prospects for reap
pointment as Rail Road Commissioner
and now that the same is shown to have
been unfounded and malicious, it will
probably prove boomerang which will
lnJure Its orlginators more than it will

The Vice Presidents Right To the
Casting Vote.

ue TeIudTkS VI Tue DeUOCTOG ldSt
week on the ri ght of the Vice Presi-
dent to give the casting vote when
presiding over the Senate of the Unit
ed States, remind one of the able and
interesting legal arguments which
sometimes emanate from the Union
League, and suggest that possibly one
of the great constitutional lawyers be-
longing to that body may be engaged as
an editorial writer on the Democrat.
We all remember how the decisions
of Judge Drummond and our own Su-
preme Court have been time and again
answered (?) and demolished O. by
some one of the various gentlemen be-
longing to the League who write as if
they know more law than all the Just
ices of the U. s. Supreme Court COM
bined. 1t certainly must have been
one of these brilliant legal luminaries
who essayed in the Democrat by sim
gle swoop Of the pen to override all
presidents, annihilate Vice President
Wheeler, knock the Constitution of the
United States into smithereens, and
show that there is no such thing known
to the law as the right of the President
of the Senate to "have vote in that
body" This is the conclusion at (which
he arrives:
We do not see by what authority or
line OF reasoning the Vice President
has voice in the deliberations Of Con-
gress. the Constitution makes him
merely the presiding officer Of the
Senate, and when be takes the chair
to preserve order, his powers and dut-
les are all exhausted-he is certainly
not member. consequently it appears
to be entirely unreasonable that he
should have a vote in that body.
Unfortunately for the line Of argu-
ment here assumed by the Democrat,
the Constitution of the u. S. settles
the question in favor of the right of
the Vice President to vote when the
Senators are equally divided. Art. l.,
Section 8, says:
"The Vice President Of the United
States shall be President of the Senate,
but shall have no vote unless they be
equally divided"
Thus it will be seen that the Vice
President is not merely an automaton,
placed In the chair of the presiding Of
fcer simply for the purpose of preserv-
ing order, but is clothed with authority
to vote In certain contingencies which
are sure to arise in all deliberate bodies.
If the Vice President had not the cast
ing vote, how would dead lock in the
Senate be broken Let the Democrat
consult the Constitution, look up long
established presidents, and apply lit
tie common sense to the question. 1t
will be quite certain to reconsider its
views above quoted and admit that the
Vice President in voting as he did as
sumed no doubtful powers.

A PROPOSITION to revive the income
tax has been introduced in Congress by
Hon. Carter H. Harrison, a Democrat
ic member from Chicago. He propos-
es to levy upon the incomes of all
United States citizens which may be
over ST 900 and under So, 900 annually
a tax of per cent. /; over 1000 and
under 5000, l i per cent, and gradu-
ating the scale up to and including
$4,000. Over $4,000 and under
$4,000, tax of 3 per cent; over
5000 and under $4,000, 4 per cent,
and 3 per cent. on all incomes in ex-
cess of $4,000 1t is safe to say that
no law such as is here contemplated
can pass Congress. There are too
many odious features connected with a
measure Of this kind to make it accept
able to the people.

THE "bulldozing" business is still
going on in South Carolina. When a
Republican official is found there who
for any cause is ofensi to the Demo
cracy, he is politely requested to resign.
The invitation is generally couched in
such terms that they cannot be misun-
derstood, and the desired effect is pro-
duced at once. This is not ALWAYS the
case, however On such occasions,
when the official proves intractable,
impeachment proceedings are COM
menced, or an Indictment is procured.
or threats resorted to which in the end
usually lead to a surrender of the fuDc-
tionary whose official head is demand
ed. A Judge of the Supreme Court,
a colored man named Wright, is one of
the latest victims. He accepted the
inevitable few days ago and at the
demand of the Hampton crowd tend
cred his resignation. His place has
now been filled by blatant Democrat.
