manipulate the purchasing of articles for the

THE DE CIsIoN OF THE TRIBUNAL MUST
STAND.

STAND.
The Cincinnati Enquirer takes the lead
In an effort to break up the Electoral Com
mission, on the grounds of its partisanship.
This imputation on the members of the
Tribunal Is indecent, II by partisanship is
meant default of principle, and voting for
party interests, and not according to con-
victions and what is law and justice. Diff
ferent men, 1t Is well known. have differ.
ent views of law and justice, in the appli.
cation TO delicate and important questions.
The question then arises, are the members
Of the Commission partisan In a bad sense
of the word, when, after having been Sc
lected with reference TO their well known
views, they act in accordance with them
in the judgment they passs We certainly
ought not to complain of men
who act upon their well.known
convictions of policy, duty and
law. We believe that the Commission
has, SO far, acted according to legal reason
ing and justice, satisfactory to the consci-
ences Of a majority of the same. 1t will,
therefore, be suicidal for either party to
attempt opposition to the decision of the
Commission. Nine-tenths of the Demo.
Gratis Of Congress are so committed to the
result that there can be no opposition on
any reasonable grounds whatever.
The verdict given yesterday will be &C,
quiesced in by the American people, and
any effort on the part of the Democratic
leaders to break up the Commission will
be summarily cried down by public opinion.

THE SLAUGHTERED RIGHTS OF CITI.
.... ZENsHIP.

The question which Is far more impor-
tant to the American people than "who
shall be Presidentf" is "shall American
citizenship have the full and free exercise
of all the powers conferred by the Consti.
tutionf" WIN. M. EvARfs, In his great
speech before the Electoral Commission on
Thursday, presented an earnest defence Of
the black race Of Louisiana, saying that II
was proposed by the White League to
make them the victims of the Constitution,
for the Constitution gave them the right Of
suffrage, and they were now to be slaugh-
tered for having 1t In their possession.
Over two hundred thousand of these
blacks, who were qualified to vote by the
Constitution, were denied that right at the
last election. In Mississippi alone, over
sixty thousand blacks were defrauded of
this best privilege of citizenship; robbed of
their rights; driven forcibly from the polls
shot down in cold blood; thrown out of
employment, and generally and specially
ull.dozed out of the exercise of = power
which should be the most sacred
under the laws, as II Is the bulwark
Of American citizenship. In Louisiana the
system Of violence, fraud and murder was
Of the most lswless character. Testimony
to prove this assertion has already been
piled high in the committee.rooms Of Con.
gress. and there is flood tide yet to come.
The policy Of force In Louisiana reduced
the true Republican majority from twenty
thousand down TO three thousand. It de-
frauded fifteen thousand Republican voters
of their constitutional rights. 1t made
rampant sedition and bloody lawlessness
the instrument by which the White League
was to destroy the rights Of the voter and
grasp the supreme power Of the State.

adjustment Of an Indian savings
bank, organized after the model OF
an institution which recently existed

the exclusive control OF that great
fnaucicr, Oh! Oh! Howard. The
correspondent thinks that General
Howard, who must already have
won the esteem Of the sayages by
his considerate treatment OF them

nave no difficulty in persuading the

in this bank, and that the inevitable
wouldbe the bankruptcy Of the entire

is advertised to be held on Saturday
next, at a point between Dry Grove and

truth there is in the above reports, but
We must confess that the indications for
a harmonious party are not at all en-
couraging. Indeed, there is demorali-
cation in the atmosphere. - Raymond
