See their Consistency.

Democratic Congressman and democratic
newspapers charge the Republicans with
having stolen President, and committed a
gross outrage upon the constitution, because
the Commission refused to go behind the
electoral certificates and investigate charges
of fraud on the part of state officers in the
conduct of the election. And yet the Com
mission simply carried out the doctrine so
recently insisted upon by the democratic
party, and openly proclaimed by Senators
Thurman and Bayard, two of the democratic
members Of the Commission. Less than a
year ago Senator Thurman said "Does the
Senator think that the question before the
Senate is whether we can go back of re-
turn admitted to be genuine and regular upon
its face? If he supposes that to be the
question, must say that do not suppose
it to be the question, nor do / see how it is
involved. I certainly do not admit hd, you can
go back and 90 into contest ocer The election. "
Senator Bayard said, in 1873 "Nowhere
is power given to either house of Congress
to pass upon the election either the manner
or the fact, of the electors for President and
Vice-Presdent, and if the Congress of the
United States, either one or both houses,
shall assume, under the guise or pretext OF
telling or counting vote, to decide the fact
of the election of electors who are to form
the college by whom the President and Vice
President are to be chosen, then they will
have taken upon themselves authority for
which |, for one, can find no warrant in this
charter of limited powers"
Now we are told that Judge Bradley is a
knave because he would not vote in the Com.
mission to do what these democratic leaders
declared Congress had no right to 90. But
what shall be said of these representative
democrats who, for party ends, with the
solemn oath of the Commission resting upon
them, not only swallowed their own recorded
words, but overrode the timehonored prin.
ciples of their party.

PartisanshiD,

1t is decidedly interesting to notice the
complaints coming from all quarters, of the
partisan character of the decisions of the
Electoral Commission. 1t is asked with
amazing innocence why should eight of
those men always vote alike, on the one side,
and seven on the other? The question.
however, is usually limited to those men,
bers OF that body who are judges. 1t seems
to have been expected that Republican
Senators and Representatives should always
vote so as to secure the election of Governor
Hayes, and that democratic Senators and
Representatives should always vote so as to
secure the election of Governor Tilden, but
it is thought to be decidedly out of character
that the Judges should invariably decide
according to their political preferences.
Now we are so onstituted-perhaps it is
fault-that we cannot see why Senator or
Representative should not be honest in the
votes he gives, as well as that Judges should
be honest. No man who is fit to be SEN
ator will deviate from the line of his duty
because it may be offensive to his party
He should not regard himself as the repre-
sentative OF party, but of the people, and as
such should be, in all circumstances, loyal to
his own honest convictions
Senators Edmunds aud Bayard have no
more right to give their votes for wrong
decision than Judges Clifford and Bradley
Every member of that Commission was
bound by oath and duty to act honestly.
Now, did all the members of the Commits
sion act the part of the dishonest PARTISAN
or only some of them If any of them
did so, who were they? Is it decent for
democrats to charge dishonesty upon
Judges Bradley, Miller and Strong, and
assume that Judges Clifford and Field were
pure and upright? On the other hand
would it be decent for the Republicans to
claim for their own Judges immaculate
purity, and charge Clifford and Field with
competition Is it not possible that the
eight and the seven We're all honest, upright
men, and were true 10 their convictions
The questions referred to them were few
aud simple. II would have been a happy
thing if they had concurred in judgment.
The people would have been better satisfied.
II Judge Davis had been the fifth man, the
result might have been different, but perhaps
not. If it had been, there doubtless would
have been the same innocent establishment,
but it would have been on the other side.
We prefer to take it for granted that the
members Of the Commission, all of them,
acted honestly. We cannot see why the
Judges should not differ as well as other
men, We have pretty distinct, and to some
OF us, very painful revelations of what
seemed to us partisan decisions of the Su-
preme Court, when Judge Tracy was Chief
Justice, but we are far from sure of it now
as the grace OF charity prevails over our
own prejudices. We have come to under
stand that men may have opinions very de-
cidedy opposed TO our own, and still be
honest Is it not the duty of every citizen
to accept the decision whether agreeable or
painful, and cherish some hope of the re.
public, in spite of our disappointment

The Struggle Ended.

There are several good and sufficient rea-
sons for congratulating, not simply the po-
litical followers of the newly-naugurated
President, but his enemies as well, and the
friends of Republican government through
out the civilized world, upon the peaceable
settlement of the Presidential dispute. The
Republican party may well be proud that
their chosen leader has attained this high
honor without being assailed by the foul
breath of SANDER or even so much as the
smell of fraud and corruption resting upon
his garments. The democratic party also
may well be congratulated upon that meas
ure of patriotism which availed in the end
to restrain the turbulent elements of party
passion from overt acts of revolutionary VIC
lence. And in view of all the later devel-
opments of the ampaign-especally the dis
graceful revelations pertaining to what will
go down to history as the /" Oregon infamy,"
we are sure that thoughtful sober, consci-
entious democrats must be glad in their
secret hearts that Tilden is defeated Even
conceding to them the honest belief that
Louisiana was carried for the Republican
candidate by fraudulent means, no agency
in, or even knowledge of, that fraud can be
justly charged upon President Hayes while
they must know full well that the proofs of
Mr.. Tilden's responsibility for the Oregon
knavery are too strong to be resisted and,
when the passion of the hour has passed
away, as American citizens, they must rejoice
that the country has not been disgraced by the
election of such man as its chief magistrate.
Of course the democratic party seeks to
cover its defeat by universal cutlery against
the Electoral alleging that it |
did not dare to go behind the returns, know |
ing in case they did the decision must be
against them. We repel this imputation
upon the Commission and the Republican
party-fully believing that full and thor
ough investigation of all the facts and cir
cumstances would have given HAYES the
electoral votes, not only of Florida and
Louisiana, but also of Alabama and Missis
sippi. In short, we implicitly believe that
if every ballot-box in every state had been
purged of fraud, and the election everywhere
had been free and fair, the result would
have been exactly the same, though by a
larger majority. For numerous other grounds
of congratuation, and of the most assuring
and gratifying character, we refer our read
ers TO President Hayes admirable inaugural
address.

Report on Louisiana.

The report of the Senate investigating
committee on Louisiana was submitted on
Friday, by Senator Howe, from which we
gather few facts which outline, in the
faintest degree, something of the work be-
fore them had the Electoral Commission de-
turning board. The committee say that
there are two ways in which the right of
suffrage may be abridged One is to deny
the legal voter the privilege of depositing
ballot, and the other is to refuse to count
the ballot, after it is deposited by different
parties. II is claimed that both of these
methods have been pursued within the state
of Louisiana. The allegation as to the last
cannot be controverted. The laws of Loui-
siana authorize its tribunals under certain
conditions, to reject from the count not only
the entire vote of precinct, but the entire
vote of parish. The committee say the
testimony taken is not sufficiently complete
to enable them to say positively what would
have been the result of that election in the
state if intimidation had not been employed
at ALL but organized intimidation is charged
against seventeen parishes of the state,
while against forty no such charges are made
In those forty parishes the colored registra-
ton numbered eighty.seven thousand nine
hundred and ninety-nine the white regis
tration numbered seventy-two thousand nine
hundred and sixty-fve. Those forty par
ishes returned sixty-five thousand seven
hundred and forty-seven Republican votes,
and ffty-nine thousand three hundred and
ninety-two democratic votes, so that, in that
part of the state where intimidation is not
charged, there was Republican majority of
six thousand three hundred and fifty-three
votes. In the seventeen parishes said to be
terrorized, the colored registration was
twenty-seven thousand two hundred and
sixty-nine, the white registration twenty
thousand three hundred and twenty, giving
majority of coored voters of six thousand
nine hundred and forty-nine, nearly onehalf
as large as the colored majority in all the
rest of the state; but the vote in the sew
enteen parishes as returned showed but ten
thousand nine hundred and seventy Repub-
Leans, twenty-one thousand one hundred and
twenty-three democrats. In the seventeen
parishes, where there was a majority of
nearly seven hundred colored voters regis
tered, there was majority of ten thousand
one hundred and fifty-three democratic votes
returned. The report is signed by all the
Republican Senators on the committee.

President Hayes Personality.

A longtime neighbor and friend of the
President writes as follows to the New York
Tribune: "From my knowledge of Cover
nor Hayes during twenty-five years, will
relate what manner of man he is. Born in
1922, in Delaware county, Ohio, Governor
Hayes is fifty-fve years of age, but casual
observer would take him to be at least ten
years younger There is not vestige of
gray in his abundant auburn hair and the
full beard he has always worn ever since |
have known him. Alert, youthful as he
was twenty-five years ago, he is forcible
example of the value of an abstemous life
He was never in a bar-room, it is said, in all
his years he is an utter stranger to tobacco
in all its forms. Nobody ever saw him take
a drink of liquor, or smoke cigar, or chew
tobacco. These may be negative virtues in
the estimation of optimists, but to satisfy
them it can be added that nobody ever knew
him to sacrifice truth to gain any political
or personal end. Living in the full public
gaze for twenty years, and coming out in the
most exciting Presidential contest in Ameri-
can history, Governor Hayes is absolutely
without blemish There are doubtless many
other Americans for whom so much can be
said, but it is something to be able to say
so much for a President-elect. It can also
be said of him that the public welfare, as he
sees it, has always been his guide. For
nearly six years he has been Governor of
Ohio, and during that time in no case, it is
said, has personal friendship dictated his ac-
ton. During his term the White House
will not be sealed book. No more demo-
cratic man-using that word in its general,
not partisan sense-than Rutherford b.
Hayes ever lived. Almost the only equable
lnau have seen during all this Presidential
uncertainty, is Rutherford b. Hayes. Nor
is it Indifference or show of indifference that
holds him in this equipoise. More than any
man | know he is man of self-poise. 1t
has been his habit all his life to face re-
sponsiblities and uncertainties without the
twitching of a muscle. That he is man of
fear is undoubted, because he is Christian
gentleman and fears to do wrong; that he
is man of nerve is also undoubted, for he
never flinched from doing what he believed
to be right. Able, cultured, of large expe-
lience in public affairs, having extraordi-
nary nerve and yet strangely difident of him
self, Rutherford B. Hayes will not only
credit himself, but the nation, in the Pres-
dental chair.
Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1877-03-07

We commend to the careful consideration of
our readers the sentiments OF the Inaugural
Address of President Hayes, which will be
found in another column. They are the ut
terances of brave man, an honest man
and competent President. There is no
sentiment about President Hayes letter of
acceptance which he does not stand by when
the hour of trial is at hand. He handles
the subject of the government of the South
ern states, the return to specie payment, and,
more than all, honest and effectual civil ser
vice, with the air of one who means bust
ness. These are no holiday promises with
him, and if he thoroughly and honestly
stands by them, as we fully believe he will,
we shall have an administration of which
any citizen may well be proud. We predict
for him and his administration bright page
in the history of our country.
