MI. Fields Dramatic PerOra-
tiOn Before the Tribunal.

Such, Mr.. President and gentle
men of the Commission, is as brief
statement as | can make Of the
facts and the laws as we understand
them to-day. The greatness of the
question in respect to the uignlty OF
the presidential Office and the enor-
nous interests depending upon it
are as nothing compared with the
moral elements involved. True it
is that the person to whom you give
your decision will be for four years
tn. chief magistrate of forty five
millions of people; will be comman-
der chief of your army and navy;
the organ between you and all for
eign States; the bestower of all Off
ces; the fountain of honor and pow
er, and the executor of your law
But that is as nothing compared
with the greater question, whether
or not the American people stand
powerless before a gigantic fraud.
Here is this certificate holding it
aloft in his hand. One feels almost
reluctant to touch it. Hold it up to
the light. 1t is black with crime.
Pass it around, let every man see it,
and then tell me whether or not that
certificate gives a title to an Office
contrary to truth, as we can prove
it. One of the greatest poets of the
palmiest days of English literature,
writing of the coming of the Sa-
viour, said:
and ancient frauds shall fail
Returning justice lift aloft her scale.
Ancient fraud? Was there ever
fraud like this? In all previous
ages fraud has succeeded only be-
cause it has been backed by the
sword, and protesting people have
been powerless to resist the force OF
armed battallions. Never before
now in the history of the world has
a fraud succeeded against the con-
science and the will Of a self-gov-
erning people. fit succeeds now,
let US cover orr faces with shame.
Let us take down the statue on the
dome of the capitol, which every |
morning faces the coming light
Let us clothe ourselves in sackoloth |
and sit in ashes forever.

The Dog Law.


A venerable and distinguished
citizen remarked to us the other day
that the dog law had killed another
Legislature. And it did seem that
way. You see nearly every man
went there pledged against the dog
law, and two thirds of them had
prepared bills for its repeal. But
the very first bill which came up in
the House for that purpose was re-
jected on second reading, according
to the Journal of the House, and
three days having elapsed before a
reconsideration was moved, it be
came impossible to reconsider it, and
under the constitution, no new bill
containing the same substance can
be entertained this session.
However, a member asserts that
the Journal was incorrect-that the
bill was laid on the table, not re-
jected-and moves to correct the
journal in accordance Herewith,
which the House voted to do.
Thereupon House bill No 40 to re
peal the dog law was then taken up
under suspension of the rules, on
third reading, and passed by the fol-
lowing vote:
Ayes--Messrs. Baker, BeardeD,
Boon, Brandon, Brien, Brooks,

Taliaferro-65
Nays-Messrs. Coleman, Collier,
Kindrick, Lowe, Peters, Simonton
and Tolley-7.
Messrs. Cannon, Freeman and
Hill were absent.
Mr.. Peters gave notice that he
would enter protest against the
passage of the bill upon the ground
that similar bill had been rejected.
Mr.. Wilson moved to reconsider,
and Mr.. Garner moved to lay the
motion on the table, which pre-
vailed.
Mr.. Bullock said that, owing to
the great victory just achieved in
the passage of the celebrated dog
law, he would move to adjourn un
til tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock,
and that the House have a grand
jollification meeting this afternoon.
Mr.. Gregg moved in lieu that, as
the House had accomplished all
they had been sent there to do, it
adjourn sine die.
Both motions created considera-
cradle laughter.
The bill was ordered to be en-
crossed and Immediately transferred
to the Senate.

Alabama Correspondence.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I have received
three copies of your valuable paper.
I call it valuable because my con
sort prizes it SO highly. made
flying visit to your country and the
citizens of Aspen Hill during the
Christmas holidays; was there when
the big snow fell l left Aspen Hill
before the snow was off the ground
and the cold weather had ceased
raging. Mr.. Dickson furnished
good fire and sat up with me until
midnight and Put me on the train.
Being of a sleepy nature, l was
soon lost in slumber and did not
awake until after the train had
passed Decatur where l wanted to
change cars for this place. When
l awoke the faces around me seem.
ed to be new ones and l at once
began TO entertain fears that had
over slept myself, but then l
thought Mr.. Eperson would not al
low Inc to sleep into Decatur. But
~ the time l collected my thoughts
L
proved not to be Ben Eperson.
Then l knew. After consulting the
conductor it was agreed that j
would go on to Hartsells and come
back on the next train which would
soon be along. 1t did not take the
agent at Hartsells long to tell me
the next passenger train due would
not stop at that place and that |
would not get off for Decatur for
thirteen hours and as | was due at
Leighton before that time l could
not bear the idea of remaining
there for so long time. So ]
tried To stop the passenger train
and then tried a freight conductor
whose train was on the side track
to haul me to Decatur but all to no
purpose. After biting my neither
lip a few times | told the official
from Louisville to Montgomery that
| would not be out done. | went
to work with some of Chapman 3
best that happened TO be in my
companion and soon had up steam
sufficient to run my own train
through at the rate Of three miles
an hour(?) and was soon in Deca-
tur. 1t may be interesting to some
of your Aspen Hill readers to learn
that near Decatur met our esteem
ed and long lost friend W. E. Bur
nett. He is foreman on the North
and Sopth Division.

A depressing incident of the de
cision is that it bears the impress OF
a partisan division-eight Republi-
cans and seven Democrats. This is
likely to create in many quarters
the belief that the further proceed
ings may be governed by the politi-
cal bias of the several members of
the commission. But the Republi-
can by no means shares this appre
hension. We feel confident that
the worst that can befall will be a
tie, as between the Democratic and
Republican electors, in which event
Tilden will be chosen by the House
of Representatiyes.-[S. Louis Re.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1877-02-22

If such board as that of Louis
lana has the power to make presi-
dent for the United States constitu-
tionally, the sooner we cremate that
instrument and create a new one
the better. Establish the doctrine
that no power can go behind the
returns of a board, and the party
that controlled the most available
means could always elect its candi-
date. In fact there would be no
necessity of anything more than a
sham election, as the boards could
regulate the whole matter in their
returns.-T Philadelphia Herald.

The Political Hereafter.

When Andrew jackson, in 1924,
received a large majority of the
popular vote, and plurality of the
Electoral vote, having 80 to 81 for
Adams, II for Crawford, and 80 for
Henry Clay, the House of Repre-
tatives paid no attention to the pop
ular will, and Adams was elected.
Gen. jackson had only to wait four
years, when he received IT'S to
Ada-ns' SO. In 1882, he ran again,
and beat that popular leader, Henry
Clay, carrying every State but sew
en-. In that there was no fraud Ell
ther. He was fairly beaten under
the law, but the majority felt-the
country felt-that the man who had
a majority of the popular vote and
a plurality of the Electoral vote
ought to be made President.
How much stronger is our case.
We have not only majority of the
popular vote, but also of the Elec-
toral vote. We have been cheated
out of thu election by the most
bare faced and impudent fraud, and
the Republican party will rue the
day that ever they allowed a re
turning board to make President
for them, or a national returning
board to sanction the result, con-
ceal the fraud, and seat usurper
in the Presidential chair. There is
some natural dissatisfac ton, some
very natural regrets. 1t is not as
we would have it, but we can easily
console ourselves with the refec
ton that the great hereafter has
place for us, while it affords no
ground for hope to the scoundrels
who have succeeded by frauds that
would disgrace a common thief.
Their exultation will be short-liyed.
