THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION.
Jan. 9th. 1877.


This body is now in full organization
at the National Capital. with authority to
send for persons and papers. The ap-
pointments by the Senate are good. the
three Republicans being at the hsad of
their party for true Senatorial reputa-
ton, aside from Morton whose hatred
of Southern men seems like chronic
hydrophobia With tho House nomi-
nations none could fail to be pleased,
30 it is not necessary to enter into any
particulars. OF the Eve Supreme
Judges. three are Democrats, but We
attach no particular significance to that.
Joseph P. Bradley. one Of the two
Republican justices on the Commission.
was resident of New Jersey at the
time of bis appointment. m event which
followed his presenting tho Presidential
Cottage at Long Branch to tho Man
with the Cigar, after lapse of less than
tuIoo WccAo. ~ Wob tuAo CuCuWosouCC
(for Bradley was quite an ordinary
lawyer in Newark that caused Judge
David Davis to remark, in his letter to
Hon. J. B. Stallu, of Cincinnati. II do
not like his (meaning Grant's) receiv-
ing valuable presents from men Of com
parativs obscurity and immediately af-
forwards appointing tho donors to the
most important stations within the gift
of the Executive" Yet this transac-
ton is far less discreditsble to Judge
Bradley than to Grant.
The other member of the Commits
sion. .on the part of the Supreme Court,
whom We deem Questionable. is Stephen
]. Field, of California. The Judge is
not popular with any old residents of
that State, especially with those who
lived in Marysville. His appointment
to the Supreme Bench by President
Lincoln. at the urgent request of Sena-
tor (?l Conness. was one of the many
instances in which the honest sinlplic-
ity and good nature Of the martyr Pres
ident were imposed upon. Field after.
wards got his former clerk. George c.
Gorham. elected Secretary of the United
States Senate; and when Sumner and
Cole sought to oust that political jack
daw from his position, a. Secretary,
Field sullied the ermine of the bench
by becoming common lobbyist to keep
the trickster in Office. Gorham is the
man who planned the bribery by which
California was carried for Hayes; Cor
hams brother-in.law, Bill Carr. dis
bursed the money among the roughs
and fighters; and Gorhsm will be the
go-between for Hayes and Field. The
willy little Secretary has got his man
there and that is all he asks. He got
his catspsw, Sargent. to make speech
against the bill. but that was cutie. fish
tactics to insure it's support by Demo-
Gratis. He is now laughing in his sleeve
at the probable success of his plan of
whipping the Democrats with one of
their own wear ons. We may have "got
in wrong" on this matter, but it looks
to us as if Gorhsm has pulled the wires
In this case. as in every other since he
reached Washington. Time will tell,
however.
