election was out of the question With
regard 10 the rifle clubs this argument
might have some weight, but il is re-
served for Democrats to take the ground
that the means employed by govern
mcnt TO secure fair election are a
ground for rejecting the vote of a state.
The NEGRO militia, as a power TO affect
tho election, is a stupid myth. No 9th
CT vital objections were offered, and yet
the seven Democrats upon the Commits
sion voted TO reject the votes of the
Hayes electors. and TO deprive the SOW
ercign state of South Carolina of her
rightlul choice for president. If the
case had been reversed, if South Caro-
lima had voted for Tildcn rs she has for
Hays, and the Republican members of
the Commission had voted to reject the
Democratic electors. the howl of indig-
nant wrath from the Democracy would
have been something TO fear. The
Democratic members clearly violated
their oaths. They showed themselves
wholly governed by selfish partisan mo-
lives. In the case of South Carolina
they had a splendid opportunity, and at
very cheap price, of indicating, their
claim 10 disintcrcstcd and becoming
fairness. by voting with their fellow
members. Such procedure would
have put their course in the cases OF
Florida. Louisiana and Oregon in bet

The Commerce for 1876.

DIR. Edward Ioung's tables of the
commerce of the United States for 1876,
Just published, afford moro gratifying
exhibit of the commerce Of the country
than the reports of the treasury depart
ment; for the United States fiscal year
closes on the j0th of June, and these Ia
blcs are brought down TO the lst of Jan
uarN. 1877. As contrastcd with 1872,
our imports last year were two hundred
and thirty millions less. one hundred
and thirty millions Of which was in
manufactured goods; and our exports
were nearly one hundred and thirty
millions in eXccs, of The export Of 1872.
This is the largest export the country
has eyer enjoyed, and the tables show
that while there has been Il considcra-
bic increase in our foreign shipments of
manufactured goods, the products
OF the farms and of The soil constitute
iiyc-siXths of the va-i amount OF S653 :
37G,773 worth of property that has been
shipped out Of the country in Il single
year and been paid for either in money
or merchandise lrnm abroad. These
figures are very suggestive of the rapid
ity with which business will revive as
soon as our presidential complications
are settled, and the country is once
more in the enjoyment of sound and
stable currency.
