The people have declared their choice

any disputed or double return rests either
with Congress or with the President Of

the opposite effect. II is weak inven-

Senators and seven Representatives is
discreditable to American statesmanship.
We do not believe such poor piece Of

The following, from the Springfield
Republic, is Of much interest to the peo-
pie on this end of the line:


Alta meeting of the Directors Of the Spring
field, Jackson aud POmerOy railroad COmpa-
nay, held January /, 1877, the Springfield Di-
rectors Of the Company were authorized by
resolution OF the Board, 10 purchase the iron
for the track from Springfield to Washington
q. H., ana lay the same a. soon as practicable.
Notice was given according TO some half dozen
rolling mill companies that bids for the iron
would be received at this place ON the 10th inst.
These companies were each on hand by their
Bsent, ana bids handed In accordingly. On the
evening OF that day, the bids were opened by
the Springfield Directors, in presence OF the ad-
VIsOry committee, ana carefully considered,
and the contract was finally awarded To the
Cambria Rolling Mill Company, OF JOhnstOwn, D.,
Pa. The first delivery OF the iron is TO be March
ID, and the -emainder at such times as shall be
directed by tile last named Directors OF the
Chief Engineer OF the Company, but all To be
delivered by the first of August next The price
10 be paid foI the iron is entirely satisfactory,
ana the quality Is the best.
The track laying Is TO proceed as fast as IL can
be done, aud tardy subscribers OF stock would
do wei 10 square up their stock account, as the
subscriptions Of this county are set apart TO pay
for this Work, and We understand the DiI iIecIOrs
IN charge OF the same, to rursue "A vigorous pol
icy bOin as To the collection Of the stock and
the completion Of the road. There is no reason
why we should not have Jackson coal for next
winters use, II all will do their duty.

CUTTING AFTnAV.
An Array occurred az Hope Station last sun
day evening In which man named Damn was
seriously, II not fatally. wounded by q cut Ia
the short ribs with common pocket knife. "a
appears that young man named Michael elf
ford came 20 the place where Dunn kept a sa-
loon, and demanded ndmittance. but was re-
fused, when he commenced using abusive Lam
guage and continued until Dunn attempted to
chastisc him, when Clifford stabbed the former
with the result and manner above stated. ur
ID. V. kanuclls dressed the wounds and pro-
nouuccs them dangerous. Clifford escaped hut
was found and arrested In shock of fodder
near Hope Furnace. He was taken before
squire Heasly, and while the examination was
going on, David Mace, n bystandcr. who was
drunk, raised disturbance. during which
Clifford made good his escapca has not been
heard OF since. Mace was arrested and lodged
In jail for connection with the row. Both we're
released on Monday by giving bail IN the sum

/. The judicial power shall extend TO all cases
IN law and equity arising under this constltu-
made, or which shall be made, under authori-
ty, etc.
Here is case arising under the Con-
stitution. Two men claim to be Presi-
dent. The Constitution only provides
for one. Which one has been elected
in accordance with the provisions Of the
Constitution ? Who is to decide, and
how is the decision to be made ?
Samuel j. Tilden goes before the Su.
preme Court of the United States and
produces the records of the House. show
ing his election by that body, and says to
the Court that one Rutherford B. Hayes
claims to be President. Mr.. Tilden' S
papers are regular, and he has a prima
facie case. The Court issues the writ OF
quo tOarrantO, asking Mr.. Hayes why he
claims to be President, and he answers
by producing the record of the count
made by the President of the Senate Is
not the Court bound to take jurisdiction,
and hear and determine the entire con.
troversy Or let Hayes make the appll-
cation, and let Tilden answer. 1t does
not make particle of difference; either
course would bring. the whole question
in a constitutional and legal manner be-
fore the full Court. Does any one dis
pute that decision by the full Court,
after thorough consideration, in this
regular manner, would not give univer-
sal satisfaction to all reasonable, patriotic
citizens2
Let us cling to our Constitution as
we pretend to have it in force. If we
cut loose from portion of it, why not
wipe out the entire concern, by a regular
convention, called in constitutional
way.

der stunning headlines:
NEW YORK, November g. 1876.

and troops viii be sent you.
z. CHANDLER.
We believe Secretary Chandler says
the above dispatch is a forgery. But let
US take it as genuine. What then? Is
there any thing wrong about it2
In a very few days after the date Of
that dispatch President Grant did send
troops to Florida, and he did right.
Money was necessary also, to secure the
evidence Of Democratic rascalities and
frauds Gov. Noyes, who went to Flori-
da, says that there were no Republican
lawyers in the State who aided in fair
count. and he and Gen. Lew. Wallace,
and Attorney General Little Of Ohio, had
all the work to do. Money was essen
tial in order to save Florida from rebel
rascality. Chandler ought to have sent
such dispatch, whether he did so or not

In another place we give our opinion
of the compromise scheme now before
Congress We believe we represent the
opinion of the Republicans generally, in
this vicinity. The following article is
from the Cincinnati Gazette, and is to
the point:

1t will probably be settled before the
close of the present session of Congress,
whether the rebel Brigadiers are running
this Government, or the men who con-
quered Democratic traitors.
Last week the rebels OF the House
passed a resolution to imprison the mem
bers Of the Returning Board Of Louisi-
ana, because they refused to deliver up
to a committee of the rebel House the
records of the Board Wells and Ander-
son, of the Board, came to Washington
City. They arrived at 2 o'clock in the
night, and at daylight were arrested by
the rebel Sergesntat Arms, and held as
prisoners.
In the House, before the resolution
was passed, there was lively debate, as
