THE MODERN WOODEN HORSE.

We are assured that Mr.. Hayes and all
his friends are violently opposed to the
electoral bill, while Mr.. Tilden seeing in
it scheme to elevate him to the Presi-
dency meekly expresses his acquiesence
in the twill OF the people"
Mr.. Eaton, of Connecticut, appears to
have been the only Democratic Senator
too dull of comprehension to see in this
bill trump card for Tilden; consequently
he refused to assent to a measure which,
in his opinion, violates the constitution,
disfranchises the States, and gives to Con-
gress the absolute right to elect the Presi-
dent of the United States. No convoca-
ton of the States General of any European
State or kingdom ever exercised more ab-
solutely the control over the election of a
reigning prince than this bill gives the
Congress of the United States. 1t is not
designed to be permanent. It's provisions
in express terms limit it to the present
election. At the end of another four years,
however, it can and probably will be re-
pealed; q new act will be prepared which
may or may not, according to cireum-
stances, throw the election of President
into the hands of a joint committee
of both houses, or in those of an
umpire, an outsider, perhaps, selected
in an arbitrary manner. The princi-
pie once established that Congress
can throw out the vote of State and
substitute something else, and that
tribunal unknown to the constitution,
composed of members selected from the
two houses, with one or more other per-
sons to be joined to them, and it will not
be long before the expense of popular
election may as well be spared. This
year it is established that committee OF
five of each house and five other desig-
mated persons may elect the President.
Next year it may be the committee of the
two houses especially if the same political
party shall have a majority in both will
be thought sufficient for the purpose; or a
committee composed exclusively of out
siders, or, perhaps, there may be no un-
necessary circumlocution about it, and
Congress declare some aspirant the Presi-
dent This year, there is no doubt, it
will favor the pretensions of Tilden; the
next time it may result in the choice of
some man who, like Peter Cooper, did
not receive an electoral vote.

Woman Suffrage in the Senate.

American statesmen, humiliated by the
fraud and violence which have pervaded
the country, listen with modified arrogance
to the petition of the women to be allowed
permission to restOrn the natural calm and
character, through the universal suffrage
of all adults, without regard to class, color
or sex. 1t was an impressive message from
the wives and sisters. Seventeen Senators
rose one after the other, each presenting
and reading the title OF petition to the
above effect Senator Sargent expressed
the opinion with some timidity that
female influence would purify elections and
secure a better class of officials. Mr..
Dawes thought it time to consider the
question upon its merits. The other con-
script fathers were meek and mum. The
lady memorialists were surprised at the
cordial reception they received, instead of
the ridicule to which they have so long
been accustomed.
Nobody seems to anticipate how female
suffrage would purify elections and secure
better class of officials. 1t would be be-
cause of the impossibility of organizing
this suffrage upon any party basis. No
partisan or politician would waste his time
in attempting to influence a vote at once
inaccessible from it's social surroundings
and incapable of being concentrated on the
basis of distributable spoils. These pch-
ticians have been building q tower of ras-
cality SO high as to escape the rising
tide of popular retributiOn. Female
suffrage would, perhaps, come with
such a confusion of tongues as to
disperse the impious builders and
suspend their work forever To pour seven
or eight millions of votes into the muddy
contents of the electoral urn would be like
putting pound of alum into a jar of Mis-
sissippi river water at high tide. Wishing
to see woman maintain her appropriate
position in the affairs and affections of men
it would still be funny to witness the dis.
may and desperation of the Hewitts and
Wash McLeans at the destruction of their
occupation by female suffrage. Perhaps the
Electoral College would never trouble this
land again.

THE OUTCOME,

The manner in which the Democrats
traded with Hamlet, of Ouachita, is
shown in his running as Democratic can
didate for the place he once claimed in
the Senate. Both he and Meredith, de-
ceased, were candidates in November for
Senator in the district composed of Cald-
well and Ouachita. Pending the canvass,
Mr.. Hamlet rarely visited his home, as
he feared or pretended to fear the Dem
ocrats would kill him. He received q
majority of the votes cast in Monroe, and
as the Returning Board rejected all the
boxes in the parish, outside Of that town,
Hamlet was declared elected, took his
seat in the Senate, and the oath of office,
and made pretense of discharging the
duties of Senator for few days, when,
not required to wait at the bedside of his
sister, who fell sick on one occasion just
before an important vote was about to be
taken. Hamlet soon after retired from
the Senate, without resigning, and ap-
peared in Odd Fellows Hall, where he was
permitted to make a personal explanation,
and perhaps some kind of a. bargain,
the nature of which may possibly
be guessed at by his now sp-
pearring as the sole candidate for a
pretended election to the place he already
claims. Democrats are asked to
vote for him by the party or
gan on the ground that he has
deserted his party and those who once re-
posed confidence in him. There is an
other Senator with somewhat similar
history. He, too was returned by the Re
turning Board, appeared in the Senate,
took the oath and participated in the pro-
ceedings for few days when he was lost
to sight in the foggy labyrinths Of Odd
Fellows Hall As his contesting rival
has not died, there is no may to placate
him Ia Hamlet II either he or the DEM
ocratic party desired such a solution.
In a few days we shall see Mr.. Hamlet
return with double-barreled credentials
those he already holds from the Return
ing Board and such as the status quo Off
cials of Ouachita viii give him as the re-
suit Of a moot election, whichw we learn is
to be held to-day. Mr.. HamIet's great
virtues were never discovered by the De-
mocracy until he deserted from his party
and bis friends in dangers hour and
broke quorum in the Senate.

of industry and the camp of enterprise
and progress.
We can see no other basis than this for
adjusting the bitter and bloody strife
which the attack and defense of the
spoils had engendered. The basis will
be either attained by the reforms referred
to, or it will come as the decision of the
famous cause in chancery, by the absorp-
ton of the subject in the costs of the con-
troversy. We have no hesitation or
temerity of making this announcement
upon our own responsibility, and we think
instructions from that element of our own
party whose views we have expressed.
To an adjustment on the basis stated
the REPUBLICAN commits itself, confident
that it will be sustained by the best sense
and sentiment of its own party and the
highest interests and intelligence OF the
whole people of the State

An assistant organ charges the Demo-
cratic leaders with having hired tele-
graph operator to betray the confidential
communications which were sent over the
line between here and New York in the
fall. Unfortunately for the success of
this rather discreditable transaction, it is
impossible to find all of the alleged dis
patches which the informer reports hav-
ing passed through the Office at Chatta-
nooga. They are not in themselves ofmuch
consequence, as it can make very little
difference to the Republicans of Louisi-
ana whether certain parties here and in
Washington have or have not sent i'm
proper suggestions by telegraph. If the
correspondence OF politicians is to be
used to defeat the popular vote, there
would soon be an end of free suffrage.

The Cards Stocked.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune gives an oninous esti
mate of Republican chances under the new
Returning Board at Washington. Accord
ing to this schedule Judge Clifford is an
old fashioned Democrat.
Judge Field, although a Republican in
Lincoln's time, has of late years, it is m
derstood, drifted to the Democracy. Judge
Strong came to the supreme bench from the
Pennsylvania Supreme Court to which he
was elected as a Democrat. During the
war he acted with the Republicans, but his
present views can not be authoritatively
stated.
A Democratic Senator had said that
he regarded him as just as much a Demo
crat as Judge Davis.
AS summary it is said
That the political bias of two of the judges
is Democratic, that of one doubtful, while
only one is known to be pronounced Re-
publican. If the fifth judge selected should
be Judge Davis, the Democratic ascendency
in the commission would be complete.
Per contra, the theory is
That the Judges, for the credit of the
bench, will seek TO divest themselves of all
partisan feeling, and will probably act to.
gether, looking only at the constitutional
and legal aspects of the questions pre-
sented.
The simple minded and sagacious CORE
spondent adds:
Judged in this light, the Republican case
is believed to be impregnable.
He proceeds to argue that the commission
will not GO
Behind the papers presented further than
to examine the election laws of the contest

When it is added, however, that Chief
Justice Waite, an inhAbitant of Ohio, is OK.
cluded from the commission, while Judge
Hunt, of New York, was eligible, the ex-
peetation that these four Democrats and
one Republican will cor fine themselves "tO
the constitutional and legal aspects of the
question" seems little hazy.

sequence to provoke direct attack,
though it is more likely the assailants are
afraid to ridicule the representatives of the
party that may yet (who knows?) have the
power to dispose of the public printing.
While there is life there is hope, and
the law has not yet been changed and the
contract with the Democrat has not been
formally executed; hence the discretion
which observes silence in respect to the
Odd Fellows Hall, and makes up for it by
the liveliest chatter about the dead lock
in the Legislature.
