the past have bad a different ring.
damn the Constitution J" was the
order of Thad. Stevens when the
soil was being prepared in which
the Southern Returning Boards
have since sprung up. "Any man
who talks about the Constitution is
a traitor" said old Ben Wade in
the DAYS of reconstruction" The
same spirit is as rampant in the
party now as then. Morton and
Chandler have not been born again
because they have become the
apostles of legal forms under which
as Prof. Seelye well said, "the very
principles on which law must rest
have been subverted.' The thieve:
of the Presidency should be con-
tent TO get off with their booty
without attempting to cover their
guilt with bluster or putting on
the airs of champions Of the law
AS for their fears of the conse.
ouences of their evil deeds, they
must not look 10 the Democratic
party for claiming assurances.

Ought not To Have Given Any
Reasons.

From the Philadelphia Times, Independently
1t was an old and experienced
Judge who wisely said to his son
when he was about to assume judi
cial duties. that lie shonld decide
al questions as seemed to him
right, but to give no reasons there
for when it could be avoided. The
electoral commission would have
done well had it adopted the same
rule. The reasons given for count
ing Oregon for Hayes are all very
we'll when considered by them
selves, but when dii,mde comes in
with the reasons for counting Louis
lana and Florida for Hayes, the
judicial lions skin doesn't even
reach the political asses ears, which
obtrude from that branch Of the
tribunal from which the nation ex-
pected law and justice-not blind
partisanship. Florida and Louis
lana were counted for Hayes by
the commission because they
couldn't inquire into the facts be-
hind the sovereign authority OF the
State, and Oregon is counted for
Hayes because they could inquire
behind the certificate Of the su-
preme authority Of that State. Il
the certificate of the Secretary o.
the State of Oregon is better au'
thority than the certificate of the
Governor, whose clerk the Secre.
tary is, why wasn't the certificate
OF the Accomplishment of Florida
the better authority for that State
when it was admitted that he certi
fed the vote exactly as it was re
turned, aud when the Suprem'
Court had directed the compilation
of the vote as he had certified it
Judges may have ways of thei
own for playing judicial circus il
that style, but the great mass o
J the people who believe in the sam,
rules and laws for all sides of al
questions, will be sure to revers
such decisions the first chance the.
get at them. And they will hav
their chance, no matter who rules
or who falls, or who plays fantasti
trick with Justice.

In San Francisco rival Italians
compete for the championship in
macaroni eating. AT recent con-
test between Giacomo Sporcogam-
hi and Signor Bevere the former
was declared victor after a well
fought battle. The affair was adj
mirably managed. Articles of agree
ment were drawn up and it was
decided that the dishes should each
contain thirty-five yards of the
best macaroni, and that the COM
petitors might flavor their plates
with cheese or any kind of sauce
they preferred. Mr.. Sporcogambi
ate his first mile in twenty-five
minutes, leaving his opponent pa
yards behind. Here he paused and
walked up aud down the room I'M
til he was informed that Signor Be-
we're was only fifty yards behind
him, whereupon he sat down and
began his second mile at terrific
pace. He had consumed over 400
yards when Signor Bevere's seconds
threw up the sponge.

From the Buffalo Courier.
The provisions of the Electoral
law, grossly as they have been per-
verted to partisan uses, will be re-
spected, and the Returning Board
President will be peaceably inau-
gurated in the chair to which the
people elected better man. This,
judging from the temper of Con-
gress and the attitude Of the most
trusted Democratic leaders, we take
to be certain thing. But the au-
thors and abettors Of the great
burglary must not suppose that
they are rendered any less detesta-
BILE in the sight Of the country by
their success. The spectacle they
now present Of nervous hurry and
anxiety to obtain the consumma-
ton of their crime, is one in which
honest men can regard with no
other feeling than contempt. II is
simply revelation Of the conscious
ness which the Republican man
ayers feel, at once of their own
guilt and of the power Of the party
they have outraged. And when
they seek to make the Democratic
House OF Representatives keep
pace in its action with their fears
and desires by invoking the sacred
name Of law, they deserve to be met
only with q proper scorn. How
long Is IL since the Republican
party became the party Of law
And when has il failed to trample
law under foot when IL lay in the
path to party endsi "Obey the
Constitution 7" cries the frightened
Tribune, while II TREMENDOUSLY in
quires what Is 10 be done "if the
Democratic revolutionists choose to
fllibuster." IL is something novel
to hear this appeal to the Constitu'
ton from Republicans. The IA
miliar watchwords Of the party In

Sharp Practice.

The London Vanity Fair says
A smart firm Of American engineers
in London, who do not believe in
peace, have hit upon a novel mode
of sending small cannon to any
place where they may be required,
and where perhaps the powers in
command might object to their in
PRODUCTION. The plan in question
consists in taking two small guns
and placing a round bar of strong
wood down the bore OF each so as
to hold them together, the muz-
zles Joining. They then bind the
whole with straw rope and cover
that with a coat of fire-clay. This
forms q perfect core, and round it
is cast an iron column, like those
used for building purposes. When
complete they would not excite the
suspicious of the most cautious GUS
tom officers. We should be sorry
to run the risk of spelling the in
dustry of these gentlemen if the
invention were their own, but it is
not. In August, 1875, the Carlists
received six small mountain guns
in this way, the columns being sent
through France. Some fifty Of
these clumns are now prepared 70,

publican principles, but they can
not gulp down this last obnoxious

Does Not Decide Who Was
Elected.

The New York Nation (Repub-
lican) speaks of the decision of the
electoral commission as follows:
The decision is unfortunate in
the present case because, although
it gives a sufficient title to the
Presidency, it does not give the
title for which the country looked.
We have got a decision from the
authority to which both sides re-
ferred the dispute that, under the
existing law, the power which the
Republican majority in Congress
several times exercised of going
behind the electors certificates
does not properly belong to Con-
gress, and that the manner of pro.
ducing the certificates cannot be
inquired into. This settles the
present controversy as to the Pres
idency, but it does not decide
who, within a reasonable field OF
inquiry, was truly elected, and con-
sequently does not enable Mr.,
Hays "to pass unchallenged to the
Presidential chair" 1t leaves in
doubt the question whether bis
majori.ies in two States were not
taken from his opponent and trans
ferred to him by band of disre.
putable persons discharging the
duties OF canvassers. This, 1t must
be confessed, is most regretable
and would be so even If it were no,
the result of strict party vote. II
leaves the Democrats sore and
angry as well as disappointed, and
it certainly is not pleasant to many
good Republicans to see "tbe grea,
party" sneaking out Of court after
getting the indictment quashed on
a technicality. OF course this il
better than going to Jail, but it ]:
not a species Of escape from jail
that honorable men feel comforta-
BILE about or are inclined TO chuckle
over.
