NOW FOR LOUISIANA AND OREGON,


Justice having been rendered in the case
of Florids, which was fairly and honestly
for Hayes, 1t now remains for the Republi.
cans to establish their case In Louisiana.
This 1t will not be at all difficult to do, for for
tunately abundant material Is at hand. The
mud machine which has been worked 90
vigorously by KNOTT, FIELD and TUCKER
has not destroyed or even discredited the
great mass Of facts which the Republican
counsel have In their possession, and will,
during the present week, submit to the
Electoral Commission.
The powers Of the Returning Board can.
not be called into question the plea of in.
eligible electors will avail nothing, as the
State law provided an abundant remedy
for any short.coming, and the regularity
and the legality Of the acts Of WELLS, An
pERsoN, and their associates, who have
been SO shamefully bull, ,dozed by DAVID
DUDLEY FIELD and JOHN G. THOMPSON,
will be easily and overwhelmingly estab-
lished.
The Republicans have as good case as
could be asked for, and while we expect
the Democrats to contest every point with
absolute desperation, we have no doubt
whatever Of the final result.
Then will come the Oregon question,
upon which no Democrat Of common hon.
esty can possibly expect or even desire,
Mr.. TILDEN's success. The fraud would
be too bold for even TWEED or MORRIS.

THosR sENEaAMBIAN nIAIDENs.

1t is hardly right for the venerable Sena.
tors to act as they did on Saturday towards
Elder Trumbull and Deacon Palmer, while
they were visiting that body. They had
heard Of the quadroon ball; of the amor
GUS touch of beauty's thirsty lip; Of the
frolic Of Claudine, Aspasia, Liss and other
Senegambiam maids of New Orleans; Of
this and that and the other thing which
happened to the visiting statesmen
and especially to the elder and deacon who
went to Louisiana TO see an honest count.
And they smiled broad and mischievous
smole, and merrily put admonitory fingers
to their several probocises, and winked
wunk suggestively from the several eyes,
wig-wagged their several tongues as
1t were, and smiled again like 1t
might, at the venerable elder and dea.
con, who 30 recently shuffled their
shaky shanks in voluptuous waltz.
and chased the golden footed hours
through the wavy surges of the Boston,
amidst the dazzling light and gilded tapes
try of the quadroon dances house where
the plnk-eyedSenegambian maidens helped
to while the happy hours away. Indeed
We should look rather with pity than re-
proof upon this scene, on the principle that
we should always give the "old man
another chance"

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SOUTHERN
LEADERS.

A golden opportunity now dawns upon
Southern men. They have the destiny Of
their country In the hollow of their hands.
As they mold their policy in this crisis so
will their people prosper or linger In dis
tress. Practical patriotism and philosophl.
cal craftsmanship should now exert itself
with all Its vigor and force. The time has
come for action. Let the Southern lead.
ers rise above partizanship. Let them cast
aside heir affiliations with the riff.raff ele.
ment which comprise their party in the
North. Let them buckle on the armor of
moral courage, and dare to have lasting
and benign peace which shall make their
unhappy country blossom as rose.
The Northern Democrats have evi.
IDENTIFY determined to impede the work
OF the Commission with all the means
In their power. This proceeding will
open the way for the Southern
Democracy out Of their Red soa of az.
fiction, which they have suffered ever
since they became the allies of the copper.
head element. II they boldly and con.
scientiously sustain the action of the ma.
jority Of the commission, they will lay
foundation stone for the future greatness OF
tho Sou tn. This golden opportunity is
upon them. Will LAMAR and HILL make

that could not be deferred. Ifthe House could
take a recess now until Monday, II could take
a recess from day to day after that, and by
these continued recesses the time might arrive
when no result would be declared, and there
would be no result declared.
Mr.. H0AR, of Mass, said he had no doubt
but that the House, under the bill, could take
one recess pending the consideration of this
question, and that II would be clearly IN Or
der. He did not thiuk there was q violation
ofthelaw in II. He could not believe that thore
was any party which would be so dishonorabls
as hndlbeen intimated, as to take recess from
day to day and thus not accept the results Of
the Commission. He did not believe that any
party would so dishonor itself. .......
Mr.. COX, Of N. T., argued on the right for
recess, and he repelled any insinuations that
might be thrown out that the Democratic eide
Of the House would not accept the results Of
the Commission. A recess was Indispensable
for consultation, 80 that the important ques-
tions involved in the decision might be con.
sidered.
The SPEAKER overrulcd Mr.. HAIn,s point
Of order and held that under the bill there
was no other timo at which a recess could be
taken. If the discussion had been entered
upon IL would have been the duty OF the Chair
to put the question at the expiration Of two
hours, and then the joint convention would
have reassembled Immediately. Each House
was allowed TO take a recess whenever o
question arose and this was the first time that
a question had arisen, and It was therefore
competent to take n recess until the next day
at 10 O'Clock, and In this case until Monday.
Mr.. HALE appealed from the decision OF
the Chair.
Mr.. cox moved to lay the appeal on the
table, and the latter motion was agreed to by
. vote Of 156 yeas to 20 nays. Messrs. HoAR
and THoRNBURo of the Republicans voted
against talking on the ground that there was
q clear right to take one recess.
VOTE TAKEN.
The motion for Q recess was then agreed 10
by 1853 to 10S. Messrs. CARR, Ind, HAY
MoND, Ind, LIE MorNE, H., MORGAN, NO.,
WnITRnoUsE, N. Y, Democrats, voted with
the Republicans In the negative, and with
these exceptions the vote was partisan.
Just before the vote was announced, Mr..
Gorham, tho Secretary OF the Senate, ap-
peared with . message that the Senate had
voted to sustain the decision OF the Tribunal,
and that that body was ready to meet the
House again In joint convention.
The Clerk was directed to notify the Senate
OF its action, and the House then at 2:45 took
rece!s until 10 O'Clock Monday morning.

The following Is what the Capital said
yesterday about the Commission:
GOVERNOR sTRARNs, OF FLoRIpA

GOVERNOR sTRARNs. of Florida, gave
his testimony on Saturday in the straight
forward manner of an upright and conscien.
tious man. He quietly exploded the theo.
ries Of FIELD, KNOTT g. Co., regarding
kilograms sent to and from Florida by the
Republicans, and he also stated upon oath
that
"Nothing was said about money In any tele.
gram which passed. between himself and persons
In the North and he also said that he had no
knowledge of any money having been received
tion."
Here is fresh illustration Of the way in
which stories Of improper kilograms, Of
the use OF money, ETC., have been manu-.
factured out Of whole cloth by the un.
scrupulous Democracy to help their hope.
less cause. There has been world OF
misrepresentation concerning Florida.

and death greeting. Here this old man Of
seventy years is held imprisoned as com.
mon knave, and here, too. General An
DERsoN is kept. The Constitution frowns
upon this iniamy, which Is actuated by
spirit such as that which took up its abode
IN the breast Of the old inquisitor, ToRQuE
MAZDA. 1t Is an act which should arouse
every American freeman. It Is deed
which neither the laws of the land, nor
the spirit OF our institutions countenance :.
Il Is an outrageous usurpation Of power.
and ToRouE MAZDA RANDALL bears major
share Of the responsibility. The American

THE MAD DEMO unArIo PROTEST.

1--WE want o compromise" cried the
Democracy last month with bold menace
of hostilities, and the Republican leaders
yielded and complied with the demand.
The compromise was secured, and the first
finding under the electoral bill has been
made; II was 10 favor Of the Republican
pirty. This has driven the Democracy
blind with rage. Their rage has forced
themto political madness, and that madness
Is rapidly hurrying them to political sui
eide. They agreed to accept the decision
Of the Commission In good faith as final
and conclusive. But they enter bitter
protest against the very first finding. Nor
Is this oil. They pouuce upon the three
Supreme Court Judges with malicious
ferocity and hurl avalanche after avalanche
of slander, vituperation and abuse at the
ermine element In the great Tribunal.
We urged upon the Republican leaders
the danger OF drifting away from the pro-
scribed forms Of the Constitution and estab.
lished precedents. We warned them re.
peatedly that the Democracy would break
faith under any compromise plan that
might be adopted, and violently oppose
any decision other than one in favor Of
their cause. Our prophecy has been full.
filled. Our predictions have been realized
In q manner which fills the nation with
amazement, and demonstrates how danger.
Gus II Is to compromise with desperate
and determined foe.
The Democracy mean mischief. At the
first finding In the Florida case they became
enraged. AT the second they became mad.
When Louisiana is declared for Hayes, as
1t will be in justice and by law, they will
become bowling mad. And when Oregon,
their last hope, has been given to the Re.
publican party, as Is the declared will Of
her sovereign people It should be, they will
rave In the agony Of their wild distraction.
But Il will all be in vain.
The moral sentiment of the nation ie
with the decision of the Tribunal. The
people will abide by It's action. Whatever
the Commission decide the people will sus.
tain. If they declare TrLDRN elected,
TTIDEs will be peacefully naugurated,
amid the quiet submission of the entire
people. If HAYES Is declared elected, the
Democracy must submit whether they
will or no. We have passed the retreat
ing point. We must forward march at the
command of the majority of the Tribunal.
The Democracy may curse Judge Bradley
and slander his good name If they will.
They may heap yituperation mountain
high on the Commission. They may
lacerate the Supreme Court with their
psrtizan shafts of spleen. They may toy
with rampant seditiop, and fondle bloody
usurpation. They may agonize in their
agony, and writhe in. their inevitable defeat,
but the fiat has gone forth. They must
submit to the law they incubated by
menance Of hostility, and Matched by
appeals to the patriotism of the nation.
Ifit be TILDEN, well and good. The
country will acquiesce. Ifit be HAYES,
well and good. American patriots will
acquiesce. The Democracy must.

CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER GASES.
Here Is what the Capt al said Of the
Commission on the 2Sth Of January;

"Both parties have agreed to tako the Supreme
court In, II Is true, Homeopathic doses, and al
though great care has been exercised to select
Judges Of different political proellvites eur faith
and reverence for this great and impartial trbu.
nal remains unshakon. This one-third Of our
Government remains to US pure, ablo and unsul-
He'd. And we will consent 70 any ofthat dlgnincd
body adjudlcatlDg tho gravcst question that can
possibly arise: wo have the honor OF knowing
personally only two Of the justices selected FIHLD
and MiLLRR-onc 10 Republican and tho other o
Democrat-and in such estimation do We hold
their learning, pride Of position and purity Of
character, that We would as soon believe that
they could be Influenced BY bribe as to be biased
by political preference"
The following is what the Capital said
yesterday about the Commission:
"There is no use in asserting that whom Louis
isna is reached IL will be found too offensive for
this national returning board Of rogues to swal-
low. As we'll expect chastity In brothel, honesty
In den OF thieves or shame from q charlatan,
The tribunal from which Garfield can omergc
with his mean, weak face agiow with triumph,
TO telegraph Hayes that fraud has won, or Morton
can hobble out as n decay was without pain, Is
for their rights"
There is something melancholy about
this wall, which sounds funeroal.
