The Chicago Post says there appears to be
wide difference OF opinion among the people OF
tha limited States IN relation TO the compro-
mao b,Il now pending IN Congress. providing
For a coIucil of fifteen. or Board OF Final Arbl-
trastou. 10 determine all disputed questions
arising during the counting OF the Presidential
votes There is no provision in the Constitu-
tion ewing authority to Congress to create such
tribunal True il is not forbidden. but all
powers not expressly granted to Congress by
che Constitution are reserved to the several
State. and TO the people. The exercise OF any
povss not granted to the Federal Government
expresr.y in the Constitution cannot be claimed
to con stitutional because it ia not forbidden.
Tho election of President and ice-President
is Il . so gsrs.gn act OF the States, with which
Cousresa Las nothing TO do until these States
Fail to elect. There does not appear to be
grauiad TO Congress any judicial authority in
the premises The authority given is purely
miniBto-lai The votes are to be opened by the
Wee President, counted in the presence OF
Corgtoss. and the result declared. This has
beou tIe cuetom for a hundred years. The
stas9a have determined all judicial questions
themselves.
Bpt = contingency has arisen which evidently
was not foreseen by the people when they made

gerous prece lent to establish to provide such a
court OF 6nsl arbitration, and may lead to more
dangerous complications in the future than it
teIlporarlly averts now. The fact that five OF
tbs ufteap ara Judges OF the Supreme Court,
aud spposed to stand above the arena OF parti-
sau politics, gives reason to hone that the de-
cs,on o; this extraordinary tribunal will be I'M
partial and satisfactory, although it would seem

ALL Fools DAY IN OHIo.-Cincinati,
April An unusal number of ingenius
and successful hoaxes were perpetrated here
to-day Free excursions of various kinds
were advertised, and drew hundreds of un-
suspecting people from their homes, who
could with difficulty be made to believe that
they were "sold." Nearly the entire Board
of Aldermen assembled at the Grand Hotel
in the morning, in response to printed in
vitation to join an excursion over the New
Southern Railroad, including free lunch at
Lexington, KY, and general inspection of
the line of the road. They waited long
time before they caIght the idea. Two or
three hundred people were hoaxed by "a bogus
free excursion train to look at suburban
property. A hundred or two more assem-
bled at certain rendezvous to take trip
upon steamer, which was found to have
no wheel Nearly all the undcrtakers in the
city we're victimized by kilograms directing
them to meet and take charge of a corpse
which would arrive at the Little Miami de-
pot, on certain train. Seven hearses and
the undertakers' wagons astonished each
other by arriving on the ground about the
same time.

The ELLENTIoN CAsEs.--A number of
letters have been received at this office, ask
ing what disposition is to be made Of the
Ellenton cases--parties indicted being anx-
ious to know when to come to the city. In
answer tn these inquiries, Acting District
Attorney VIM. Stone, states that the Ellen
ton riot cases will not come up for trial at
the present term of the court but will be
postponed until the May term of the court,
whcr Chief Justice Waite will hold court
in this city. He states further that all the
cases will not be prosecuted, only those con-
sidcred the most fragrant in the opinion Of
the District Attorney. 1t is very probable
however, (and this does not come from Mr.
Stone that the whole prosecution which
was, of course, intended for political effect
will be quietly dropped.-Jou,mal of Com,

THE WONDERFUL TELEPnoNE.-New
York, April 4.--Professor Bell made an
experiment with his telephone over the At
lantic and Pacific Telegraph Company wires
between Boston and New York, last night.
The professor was in this city communica-
ting with his assistants in Boston. The
experiment was great success. Everything
said by the professors assistants was plain
ly heard by those in attendance here, the
conversation being carried on at the ordi-
nary rate of talking Professor Bell told
his assistant to "Go ahead and play on the
organ" The music came through plainly
and distinctly, the operator sending chord
through at a time instead of having to send
by the single note. The assistant then sang
"Yankee Doodle" which was as plainly
heard as if he had been only a few yards
off, While in speaking his voice was just
as distinct as though it was through tube
from the bottom to the top of the building.
1t is probable that arrangements will be
made for utilizing the system in sending
messages and press reports

A POPULAR DELUsIoN.-It is an error
to suppose that man belongs tc him

wife, or his relations; or his crcdh ors,
or to society in some form or other
1t is for their their especial good and behalf
that he lives and works; and they kindly
allow him to retain percentage of his gains

He has his body, and that is all i; and even

A Washington telegram relates that at
an interview between Hayes and Hampton
the former called the lattcrs attention to
the very large Democratic vote in EdgeGeld
County. as compared with former years, and
said to the Governor "This is hardly to be
accounted for by an increase Of population" !"
and asked him how he could account for it,
Hampton replied: "You forget, sir, that at
ten polling places in this county large
number of soldiers were stationed, and uu-
ders.ood that they all voted for me-" This
amused Mr.. Hayes, whot laughed very
heartily and said swell, if the soldiers
have got to going for you, it ought to settle
the case"

gone off in his baggage, and he had been

No MORE TRoops.-New York, April
1.-The World says there was no excuse
for Mr. Hayes delay in Withdrawing the
troops from South Carolina. But now that
he has decided to do SO there is no proba-
bilty that they will ever return to carry
elections for the dominant party The edi-
tor says: "Thcy, the Republicans, have
carried their last election by the bayonet, and
when the troops are Withdrawn from South
Carolina they will be withdrawn once for
all until South Carolina asks for them.-
That will not be very soon, as these troops
will leave peace and homo rule behind
them, and us the Federal Executive
will look in vain for any constitutional ex-
cuso for again lettiug slip the 6ogs of war.
The Executive viii not be permitted TO Let
them slip on any other excuse. The course
of Mr. Hayes, as Radicals now see, is n
fresh confession that the rccom.-.uction
policy of tho Republican party has utterly
failed. 1t is virtual surrender to the De-
mocracy.
