Norton wi.tod in the face Of rercat-
cd assertions in former speeches to
tho contrary.
The bill was carried into the
House and passed this body also
triumphantly by a vote of 191 to
SO. An analysis Of the vote shows
that 1853 Democrats and 33 Ropubli.
cans voted for tho bill, and 6S Re-
publicans and 18 Democrats against
it. Among tho latter were Proctor
Knott, Jones and Blackburn, of
Kentucky, Miles, ofToxas, Singleton,
OF Mississippi, Williams, of Alabama,
and Smith, Of Georgia. President
Grant has signed tho bill, and it has
become law.
The commission will consist of
three Republican and two Democrat.
lc Senators, and three Democrats
and two Republican members of
tn :Iouec, | s. d 8 Il O five judg g, the
last Of which has not yet boon ap
pointed by the others. The Repub-
licnn caucus Of the House nominated
Garfield and Hoar to represent them
on the commission. During the
caucus, Frye, Of Maine, spoke of
woal;-knced Republicans, alluding
to Hoar. Hoar repcllcd the charge
of disloyalty, and WAS nominated by
vote of forty-two against forty for
Hale, who is an extreme partisan.
The bill meets with almost univer-
sal appreciation. 1t is true that
such mon as Centennial Dix and
Colfax arc app. Il lin; Morton for | i
"noblo conduct" But as the people
have long since ceased to applaud
Dix and Colfax, their appreciation
IS not matter Of congratulation.
While the bill still leaves the 70
suit Of tho election in doubt, it's
passage III favorable to Tilden. He
was undoubtedly elected on tho It'll
OF November, and if there is any
justice i'll tho land, it will be found
in this commits II.

The Electoral Bill.

The United States Senate, after
an all night session, passed tho com
promise bill on Thursday morning
by q vote of forty-soven to seventeen.
Eaton, ofConnecticut, was the only
Democrat opposing it, Tho sixteen
Republicans who voted a.ay were
Blaine, Simon Cameron, Angus
Cameron, Hamlin, Ingalls,, Mitchell,
Morton, Sargent, Sherman, Bruce,
Clayton, Conover, Dorsey, Hamilton,
Patterson and West. The last
seven represent the South, and all
but Bruce are carpet-baggens in the
worst meaning of the term. Sargent
alone had tho effrontory, to claim
that the Vice-President has tho
right to count and declare the vote.

The Louisiana Muddle,

The Washington correspondent
of the New Yoik Uerald, writing
january 22d, Mys:
'lt is not believed that the papers
of the Louisiana Returning Board
will throw much light on the secret
proceedings of tho Board on
manipulating the vote From the
time these papers were demanded
the Board had opportunity to
straighten it's work and make it's
figures add up. The Louisiana re-
port will show, aside from these
papers, that parishes %erc thrown out
W thout warrant cf law, and that the
Board i'll various ways violated the
law under which it acted. The RE
pub.icaEs c q m that tho Returning
Board, acting under a State Jaw,
with which Congress has no right
to interfere, actually casts tho vote
of Louisiana, and that the vot, is
preci: ely what the Board declares it
t. bo. TO this the Democratic re>
ply is that, when such extraordinu-
Empowers are granted, they must be
construed strictly, and that if the
Returning Board is to declare the
vote of tho State it must Mt least be
lawfully constituted, The law re-
quires that the Board shrl consist
Of five members, chosen from all
parties ; in fact. the Board consisted
Of but four members, all Republi
c Ms, who refused constantly to
allow Democrat to fill the vacancy,
evidently because they could not
afford to have Democrat privy to
the work of their secret sessions, the
mystery Of which they have s.
jealously guarded. It is prob;. bic
that every section of the law con
stituting the Board and defining its
powers will be taken up in turn, and
facts will be brought up to show in
what manner the Board violated the
very law of it's existence. Such an
o amination is Ii, ely to be very dam
agint.
A renewed effort is preparing here
to get the President to countenance
in some way the Packard govern
ment, and attempts will also be made
to procure the removal of General
Angur, who does not seem to suit
NJ. Packard. General Augur has
been, FOR some years, in command uK

nature of the political TICKS which
have been played there by both par
ties, and the Packard.Kcllogg peo-
pie cannot deceive him, as they could
On officer arriving fresh on the sccrc
and unfamililr with the political
struggle there Agents of Packard
and Kellogg, now here, are very
busy trying to secure influence
which they hope will enable them
to persuade the President to give
Packard ga little more recognition.
So far they have failed, and it is not
now at all probable that they will
succeed either in his or in getting

The Recent Senatorial Elections

Senator Frclinghuyscn has failed
to secure a reelection. The New
Jersey Legislature has elected
M"Pherso", Democrat, by maiori y
OF one on joint ballot. This gives
an additional change Of two votes in
the United States Senate. Frclinr

M"Pherst n who succeeds him is an
active business man, controllinn
four cattle yards and Il largo butch
ern5 establishment His election
IS another evidence Of the tendency
OF the people to choose their legisla
tors from nong business men in
stead of relying for them rs hereto
fore on tho legal profession.
Senator Logan of Illinois, who
alter tho defeat Of Zach Chandler
shared with Morton the chief Donors
rs a malignant and partisan, has
bAen compelled to retire from the
Senatorial contest in Illinois. Hc
WAS a pet of Grant. but tho people
were tired Of him. He now views
the political situation from O. bnck
seat
Judge David Davis was e!octod to
succeed Logan, receiving 1O1 votes
to 80 cast for his opponents.
Eleven Republicans are said to have
voted with the Democrats for him.
Judge Davis was born in MARYLAND
III 1915, and moved to Illinois in
1884. He served ono term in the
Legislature, declined a reelection.
WAS elected a member Of tho State
constitutional Convention of 1847.
and became circuit Judge year
later. In 1862 Lincoln appointed
him associate Justice of the Supreme
Court. In 1872 he WAS mentioned
as tho Liboral Republican nominee
for tho Presidency, but Illinois
itself being divided upon him, his
namo was not pressed. While
being non-partisan, his sympathios
incline to tho Democrats. Judge
Davis has not yet signifcd his ac-
ceptance, but it is thought he viii.
Ho is fvo feet eleven inches in
height and Weighs 375 pounds, has
broad forehead, blue piercing eyes
and prominent nose, and possesses
great wealth. ....
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska
has also come to grief. He was
partisan Republican and the people
did not appreciate his services in
that role. Mr. Saunders who sue
cecds him, whilo Republican,, is a
bank president and an active busir
